Hello, All,

As many of you, I feel frustrated at the slow process of GC. Due to this as well as the laid off resulting from instability of US econony in the last few years, I had to start my GC all over again and meanwhile am faced with the dilemma of H1B 6 yrs ending. I am considering if there is a way we can make an appeal to sb. (say the Head of BCIS) to ask for granting us the green card based on earned legalization, i.e. we have stayed here long enough, made great contribution to the country, proved ourselves to be a valuable asset, paid tax, stayed legal.... We should have gotten our GC if not for the slowness of the processing, the instability of US econonomy and unreasonableness of immigration law (had to start GC all over again when you switched company unless you are in I-485 stage).

So, has any one attempted to do this? Whom shall I write to?

I no longer want to be one of the silent sufferers :-).

Earned legalisation,as a concept is introduced in the bipartisan immigration reform act recently introduced in the congress
of course it has a long way to go for getting passed into a law
refer to s2010 immigration reforms act 2004 introduced by
senetors Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Tom Daschle(D-SD)

If one looks at the wordings it looks like it is meant for undocumented /illegal workers (one needs to really look if that covers the case that you have outlined)

In other words ,one has to become illegal to claim that provision even if it becomes a law

therefore the right people to be chased should be the the
1 Senetors
2 AILA
3Indian caucus
4White house
5 Secretary Tom Ridge
6 Secretary Colin Powell


May be some more whom we donot know
