Ironic, this poll is skewed. So we have 40 people saying yes and obviously the other 1000 viewers want to pray. You might drop a 50$ donation in your place of worship for a guesstimate that GOD is taking care of you. But, you dont want to pay 25$ to get a good estimate of when your turn to get GC might be? It is worth every penny to get a little peak into the future so everyone lets get this done.

Please vote. I will take voting results to pursue as it will be impossible to go through posts.

This is great going. We're 20% there now..

I think the data provided by this effort will throw light on why we have backlogs in the first place, how many visa numbers were wasted, did they follow the rules in visa bulletins, exact impact of country quotas, exact distribution of visa to different categories and countries, future date movements etc...

Some of our members, like vdlrao, make good predictions about the date movements with almost no concrete data. If we have more accurate data then it will be very helpful in knowing the future prospects of different EB categories.

So please contribute for this effort ....

Working for next. Can someone help in efforts of sending PM to frequent users?

[lc1978]

I'll contribute $ 50. Thanks and appreciate the effort.

[amaruns]

Voted yes.

[ashatara78]

Voted yes.

A suggestion - when you figure out how we should send money to you, please send an email to all members as I do not check IV message boards very often.

Thanks.
