The govt has assured me
...that they are considering our proposal in good faith. I have no reason to doubt them. I do not subscribe to the notion that the govt. is evil - just indifferent and slow, many times.
Hang tight.

Thanks Rajiv's fabulous work and tremendous efforts on this.
I have a late comment regarding #4. I believe that adopting conditional approval will just give CIS another excuse to further delay the processing. I think it is better to give them a more reasonable and realistic timeframe, say, 1 year for 485 processing.

I believe all these points are negotiable - if we trust goverment has a good faith.
"RAJIV TUM JIYO HAZARO SAL, SAL ME HO DEN PACHAS HAZAR"
Wonderful news. "RAJIV TUM JIYO HAZARO SAL, SAL ME HO DEN PACHAS HAZAR". The assurance from the government that they are considering our proposal in good faith is in a way of there acknowledgement of our sufferings. I wish Rajiv would have been my attorney. THANKS THANKS THANKS THANKS

Zyu,
This has been discussed many a times rather passionately, however it was decided to make it 180 days because many feel that is enough time to process an application, and also because that is what President Bush has expressed his desire to be - which is the benchmark Rajiv and others used to come up
with the number.

lca_001,
It is because AC 21 defines the backlog as the petition which is pending more than 180 days. And the same AC 21 said that backlogs should be eliminated within one year from the commencement of that act which is Oct, 2000. We already waited for three years and CIS is no where in eliminating the backlogs...

Item 4 is non-negotiable
We want a green card approval. That is the only item that truly eliminates almost all existing sufferning and future problems. I intend to stand unyielding on that. The periphery of these provisions can be discussed. But the core is immutable. We will not change on that.

Howmuch ever I like the the rationale behind #4 and the beauty and simplicity of implementing it, I am not sure it will be an easy win even if the USCIS agrees, in principle.
This might require an act of congress to amend the I485 adjudication process if it does not completely fall within the ambit of the existing policy. If there is even a slight doubt on that, USCIS will say that we need to impress up on the legislators to make that happen. any opinions?
Without a continued concerted effort and more community involvement, I think USCIS will at the most agree to study in detail a few proposals and implement them in the due course (2 year EAD and stuff). They will for sure expedite approval of those plaintiff's whose application were received before the current JIT date and maybe approve others, at the most. They will make promises to reduce backlog by provisioning for it in the next fiscal budget proposal.
We can however, hopefully, change this course, if a lot more people express their opinion by signing the petition and continue to put pressure on their local representatives.

I doubt it
An Act of Congress should not be required. This is jus a procedural change.

Hi Raji and group,
Thanks a ton for your helping the to be immigrant community. ( I am yet in the labor stage.....quite painful any way to get the labor certificate delivered!!!!!)
Do you think we need to send this proposal to our senators and/or congress man/woman to build pressure or should we wait and watch? They may be able to use this proposal during their up coming debate on immigration.
Regards
Singh

I think it's definitely good idea. At least it conveys the concerns of the majority of legal immigrants.
They have no time limit
We are moving forward on the litigation.

No harm in sending it out
The more awareness there is in Congress, the better off we probably are.
