Ok it's pretty clear that INS won't shake it's leg without a kick.

I suggest all of us write our greivances to AILA at executive@aila.org. Those people are lawyers, and seriously, if they see enough dollars, they will make anything move.

I have already done my part by writing to them already. But we need to bring light to the fact that INS is really screwing up 485 apps for no fault of ours. I think if AILA got a reason to rag them, they will do so. We just need to give them a reason that is good enough, and a strength that is united enough.

Whoever they need to sue or whatever, damn, just do it before it's too late.
 
Silly Man has a great idea......with this "freeze" on 485 processing and no communication coming from INS, you need to send an email to aila (address in silly mans post).

here is my email to them.....hopefully if each one of send an email this organization will get some answers for us.

my email.....

I'm sure you are aware of the information going around both formally from elected officials, INS officials and and informally about the "freeze" on 485 processing. In spite of contradictary communications coming from INS, this appears to be the situation.

I am one such person that has now been waiting for 1 year for my approval. While I understand the heightened security concerns this nation has, I find it unacceptable the lack of communication from the government department responsible for these approvals, namely the INS.

As your organization is a structured, recogonized body with influence and direct contact with decision makers of the INS, and while I'm sure you are already doing this, I am asking you to make a formal request for a statement from INS. Specifically this request should 1) have INS acknowledge there is a freeze, 2) for the exact reasons of the freeze, 3) any changes or new procedures to be implemented and what exactly are they and what influence they will have on approval timeframes, 4) the date when approvals will be resumed and 5) what INS will do to clear the backlog of some 2-3 months of inactivity.

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated by the thousands of your clients who do not have a unified voice/lobby with this organization that is impervious to the constituency they purportedly serve.

Regards,

I have sent an email ...

I sent an email using the general text of the letter from gettingclosernow with the addition of the slow Fingerprinting issues.

To all, Venkat did a good job by starting a Petition that Rajiv sent to the INS. Let's also send e-mails, faxes etc. whatever wew can do to get noticed. The more we bug 'em, the better the chances of something being done about it.

Keep at it guys....

;)
 
Good guys..atleast we are tring something. I have emailed the letter to AILA too. Lets hope for the best.:confused: wew

"Updated 12/10/2002: 485 Freeze: When Will It Be Lifted?

The INS HQ is reluctant to admit it officially, but currently adjudication of I-485 is on hold across the board. No one knows what has caused the decision of freeze and more importantly when it will be lifted. It reminds people of the long and painful freeze of 485 applications a few years back pending CIA clearance, which contributed to a mountain of 485 backlogs to the level of over 2 years of 485 processing times. No one knows the exact cause this time around, but one wonders whether it has something to the on-going special registration programs. Please stay tuned to this web site for development of this news."

Damn it. :mad:
 
Anyone knows more details of that CIA clearance crap?

2 year waiting for 485? Damn I've been waiting for 400+ days already. Whats 2 years. HAAHH.
