Called most of the offices;
Senator Menendez mailbox is full.. .great going IV
It would be great if all those messages were from IV. But how do we know that our opponents are not doing the same thing ? Let's be optimistic though. Good job, IV members. Let's keep those phone calls going.

Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
Why do you want a spoilsport bro. Everybody is rejoicing this moment. Let us not spoil everybody's moment here. I agree with ur reasoning, but the fact that everybody can apply for 485 brings justice to everybody. My PD is Mar 2004 and i am equally happy for all who can apply 485.

For EB3 Folks with PD's in early - 2003- there are close to 8742 applicants in front of you That is a wait of 5 more years.
For EB3 Folks with PD's in mid 2003 and later - There are 14583 applicants in line before you- That is a wait of 10-12 more years.
Now the only way forward will be to lobby with IV for a legislative fix. Apart from that there is just no option, the sooner people realise that and help IV with advocacy, the better results we will get.
I am quite confused. My date is June 2002 first week .
Not sure if it makes sense to Port to Eb2 , but big uknown is how long it would take PD to move up to June 2002.

Hello Friends,
Got a chance to speak to a customer service advocate at NSC. A very nice lady looked up my case and told me the case is with an officer. She also added I will be hearing something very soon. So keeping my fingers crossed. I always wondered if the cases made to an IO only when a visa number was assigned to the case or whether the case went to the IO first and then they looked to assign a numbers. Don't know - but will hopefully hear some good news soon. Good luck to all of you.

It might have been answered before elsewhere, but I'm wondering about the logic on how the spillover visas are allocated. Would have been nice if the spillover visas are allocated to oversubscribed countries instead of categories, this way 10k spillover visas that EB2-I is getting now will be distributed equally between EB2 and EB3 ... I believe that's one thing IV is going to or has taken up.
Looks like parents did a good job of taking both the sick kids to hospital, but the doctor treated only one kid saying that the second untreated kid is not good as the one getting the treatment :D ... if the 2nd kid survives thru the period of time the 1st kid recovers without any treatment, then the 2nd kid will get the treatment.
LOL, why am I extending the topic ...
I for one would like to know exactly what IV is planning to take up for the cause of EB3 before contributing.
Good and very valid logic....
I am also EB3 (waiting for 6 years now) but I totally disagree that IV is baised against EB3 or favoured EB2 in anyway, we are not heard as fault is ours. We we want something for us to be done then our actions shold speak for all of us just not me or you). Either we put up a fight for our cause (there are chances we will loose) or just submit to our doomed fate. The choice is ours gentleman. I don't think we have tried enough to finally call it quits.

Hi Edd,
Thanks fo rthe reply, in my case, it was not a mistake by the registrar, my grand parents just happened to give ' a name' and when my parents enrolled me at school, they gave my current name. I am not sure, if I hav a official govt doc saying my current name is the changed name from my old name, will this help as a valid document.

There are tens of thousands from retrogressed countries who have been stuck for more than 8 years (PD 01 and 02). Most of us were either stuck in namecheck or BEC blackhole through no fault or ours. Still there are others who were screwed by employers and had to reapply labor and restart the GC process. When i talk to my congressman, all they say is that the PD is not current and they cannot help.
Great point! When I reach out to the Congressman's office, none of them are aware of the inefficiencies of the last few years that has resulted in the current backlog of AOS for folks from India, China etc. For example, my case was stuck in the BEC blackhole (transferred over just when it was about to be processed by State office) for well over 3 years when there were a significant number of Green cards available. However being in EB-3 India category, the dates today are not current even for my PD of Dec 02. Unfortunately, the Congressman's aides are only aware of current status and claim helplessness to do anything until the dates progress. Given this, we really need to talk to senior officials/ Congressional Sub-Committe members who are a little more aware of the details and understand the significant waste in the past that has led to current status.
Totoro, any suggestions to overcome this issue would be welcome. Great job btw - keep it up!

We need a new bill which supports legal
Instead of starting afresh with a new bill, it would be wise if our lobbying efforts for legal immigration adjust to the changing political winds in Washington.
How Would a Republican Congress Handle Immigration? � The Washington Independent (http://washingtonindependent.com/101609/how-would-a-republican-congress-handle-immigration)
1. Based on the report above, the new heads of judiciary committee and Immigration Sub Committee are individuals who view "border security" as the first step towards Immigration Reform. Since a majority of members on this forum are LEGAL immigrants, we need not worry about any steps taken towards border security and ICE Enforcement.
2. We could take our efforts, straight to Congressmen Smith and King and explain the challenges we face in getting LPR status.
3. Congressman Smit represents 21st Congressional District (San Antonio- Austin) area, which has a sizeable Indian population. We can approach him after the elections and discuss our issues with him. I am not aware of Rep. Kings constituency in Iowa, but he can be approached as well.
4. Having a powerful "ear" to listen to our issues and given the limited controversy (Since a majority of US, are on the oft targeted H1B) associated with our immigration needs, we might ask the Congressman himself, what the right steps should be. (New Bill or take up the visa recapture bill (introduced by Rep. Zoe Lofgren).
5. Immigration Voice works with Patton Boggs to voice our concerns with the lawmakers. Former Senator/Congressman Trent Lott works with Patton Boggs. He was the house majority leader, Republican whip and is someone who has (or had) a lot of clout within the Republican party. He was a colleague of Rep. Lamar Smith. He might help us push for the legal immigration piece.[/B]

i am working directly to the client, it's very big company and my immigration people told me it's randomly pickup one no need to worry.
i asked them is there any time frame and they mentioned no set of time frame for audit cases
Hi! is this true? they are approving cases randomly? what happen to FIFO?
I guess one has to pray for luck ! Is there no reason to worry? What if your case has been denied after 13 months of waiting , that's really bad luck.
Thanks for the info. by the way.

I will elaborate. EB2 was current untill September 30th 2005. So where does the 2003 "screeching blah blah" come into effect?
Besides ike I have posted countless times...there were only 2000+ approvals for Labor certifications for India between march2005 and october 2005
and only 7000 labor certifications for India between march 2005 and december 2005.
These include a number of labor certifications for other worker categories. I myself saw at least 500 pipefitters and welders and joiners whose labor certification had been approved from Louisiana (maybe cos of katrina)
so if the priority dates have to move for EB2 they will move to jan 2006 (like the chinese have) or remain at 2004
there are also a TON of filers who filed in first quarter of 2005, mainly to stay in the old system, as people were scated of the new one (PERM). maybe 300-400 of those are from where I work (they also incidentally started processing GCs again from Q4 2004 after layoffs in 2001-2003. So expect a bump before we get into PERM, but as you say after March 2005 things should be smooth till 2006 Jan

Hi, Did somebody take advantage of the new rule of H1-H4 decoupling where one can use the time spent in H4 in H1? or can somebody confirm that this rule is in place and a law ? Please let me know.
my wife worked for 31/2 years on H1/L1 before changing status to H4. After 4 years on H4, she recently got a job and he H1 was approved in 2 days under premium processing. So the decoupling rule is effective.

I do not believe that all consulting companies are alike. They may have a similar operating model and thus similar issues like turnover. But their attitude towards their employees differs substantially. Most of us consultants do not have a source of information on how good a consulting company is and most of do not share information. I checked out these sites (http://jobvendorreview.com and http://skipnext.com ) before switching and noticed that we are a reluctant community to share information.

Make this thread as a poll and let us how many are suffering. I will close my other thread for the same purpose.
I agree, there should be one thread as I am pasting the link to this Thread on other website so people can come and support.
What would you like me to add? Do we really need to add a poll? I like the response so far (as is), the way people are adding their dates should be sufficient.
