He meant that 140k Visa numbers allocated each year, out of which less number Visas are actually processed by CIS, all the unused visa numbers in the past which might be more than 300k should be used now to reduce the backlog.
Totoro,
CIS did not issue all those 140K visas for past sevaral years despite of the fact that there were more than 140K applications pending with them during all those years. Those visa numbers were lost and the applications accumulated over the period of time due to inefficient USCIS process.
This is what ombudsman said about this issue and I quote
"For example, when employment-based visas are not used during the year they are authorized, they are lost and are not available for future use without special legislation. In FY 06, over 10,000 employment-based visas were lost, even though USCIS had an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 pending applications for employment-based green cards.36 Based on USCIS use of visa numbers as of May 2007, at present consumption rates approximately 40,000 visas will be lost in FY 07 without a dramatic increase in USCIS requests of visa numbers.37 As illustrated below, since 1994 there have been over 218,000 un-recaptured employment-based visas lost due to underutilization of the employment-based visas. " end quote.

Wastage of H1 visas is criminal.There should be a quota on H1 visas per company-no more than 500-1000 per company,plus percentage limits of h-1 visas to total employees in a company.Along with this if there is a simple provision as there is in other countries like england,where the spouse can work too it will solve a lot of issues.
The self regulating nature of the market is the fundamental basis of this capitalist economy. There should ideally be no quota's for anything. The market will decide the ideal number of H1Bs. In 2007 when there are a lot of jobs, then a quota of 165K would also get filled up. In 2002/2003 when the quota was 165K, there were unused H1B visas. If you have a limit of 500 and a company already has 500 H1Bs and wants to come out with a new product and cant find non-H1 engineers, what should they do? Outsource? lay off some other H1s to stay within the quota?
If you do want to have a quota, then as someone said, H1Bs should be given out on some sort of points system based on experience+education+salary, instead of the lottery. Let the more 'valuable' candidate into the country.
Agree that spouses of H1Bs should be allowed to work, just like those of L1 etc.

My wife and I went for the medical examination 1.5 years ago, when we thought we'll be eligible to file shortly. We still have those sealed envelopes. However, the time passed and I understand we need to undergo the exam again for our June filing, correct?
The first time around my wife had a positive skin test (immunized in childhood) and negative Xray. Back then she was advised to never do the skin test again, as it'll always be positive. So, she'll need to go for an Xray this time. However, she is pregnant, and they don't Xray pregnant women... Is she an exempt then? There gotta be a provision for something like this, right?
Thanks.

The slowness in the approval rate has me a little worried. In July many people got approved at within the first few days - that does not seem to have happened for the first 3 days of August so far. I'm hoping that this is just a blip and the trend picks up shortly.
Specially NSC - Not many approvals seen from there in the last few days:confused:

In my case (see a few posts up), it took 70 days from e-filing date, and 36 days from FP date, to get to the "card production ordered" stage. So I would think your time line is about the same so far.

I know EB2 is much slower than EB3 from what I have heard. Hence i was wondering how many ppl on EB3 have done their PERM recently?
I believe there are two PERM centers, Chicago and Atlanta. Mine was filed at Chicago in EB3 and took 13 days.

Cam somebody please explain what ETF's are with a simple example; web definitions on it are too technical for me. Thanks
ETFs (simple definition) are a hybrid of mutual funds and stocks - they are similar to mutual funds in that they represent a basket of securities (for example stocks or bonds) but they trade like stocks (i.e. they can be bought and sold throughout the day and their quoted price changes as they are traded throughout the trading day .. mutual funds on the other hand are priced only once at the end of the trading day).
ETFs charge a management fee which tends to be lower than mutual fund fees.
For example, check out VWO (Vanguard Emerging Markets ETF)
Or FXI (China large-cap stocks ETF)

I just contributed $200.00.
I am in new job and mid of negotiating with blood sucker desi employer not to revoke i140. I can not attend the advocacy days.
Anyway like Eb3retro I also lost my interest so changed job. Profile don't meet much with what written in i140, so who cares if GC rejected I will be heading to India.
Good Luck for all your efforts!

This is very well said. And also Pappu's reply was very appropriate and I agree every bit.
I will have to accept my 'silence' over the past few yrs when I was aware of the website but was a mute-spectator. I have only recently enrolled to monthly contributions and also helping spread the word on the usefulness of this site and spreading the appreciation and core-values that the core members who run/maintain this website are trying to instill.
I do understand the frustration of older members/contributors when someone just uses this site for their benefit without appreciating the core principals. But, criticizing and being sarcastic towards people only discourages and turns-off people - thats all I wanted to highlight.
Thanks!

"Charak says (In Sanskrit): Rinam Kritwa Ghritam Piwet ..."
I remember, some one mentioned to me about this same stuff. Centuries old charwak philosophy "Just do it kind of mentality" which led to hippy culture in 1960. Its seems to be making a come back :)
Its borrow or steal but live happily :)
Good points by the way. All this shows that we have to prepare for long years as this economic and social conditions are expected to last atleast until 2011 as per economic experts.

Any reasons for R2i?

With a Jan 03 PD it is sad to see someone giving up after a 7 year wait and coming so close to getting current.

Says who?
How do you know that US masters degree dont need to work for consulting firms?
Do US masters degree holders work for Deloitte? IBM Global Services? Accenture? KPMG? Price Water House Coopers?
What about Oracle consulting services? What about TRW? Bearingpoint?
All these are consulting companies or the divisions of consulting companies. Both US degree holders and the non-US degree holding duffers like myself work in consulting firms(I dont anymore since 2003). In fact, I have had my classmates from India have to look for consulting jobs after they did MS in computer science from USA.
You are under the impression that the bill is outlawing desi consulting firms and firms that exploit.
The bill outlaws OUTPLACEMENT. And the bill applies to all firms, desi firms and the big 5 consulting firms and your IBM, TRW ... everyone.
Please read the bill and read the description in the first post.
And although I am the last one to engage in US-degree versus non-US degree and Masters Versus Non-Masters fueds, I am tempted to say that US masters or US degree isnt worth a bucket of warm spit when the market is bad.
When the market is really bad, like it was in 2001 and 2002, I have seen many Masters degree holders pack up and throw in the towel and I have seen many individuals with degrees from private Tier 3 university from India survive just fine in an environment where there were 80 resumes for each IT job. The US masters degree holders, particularly with computer masters degrees with their courses in useless subjects like "assembly level programming" and their binary math didnt do squat for them while looking for jobs during recession times and could not stand competition from bachelor's degree holders from Tier 3 university from India who had done 6 month course in NIIT.
However if you are proud of your US degree and US masters, suit yourself. But dont say things like "I dont need consulting". Coz you really do and so do thousands of others having US degrees.
This H1B drama has really brought out the "indian" in each one of us (you). God Forbid, some of the anti-immigrant agencies see this, we will no face to fight.
To say something like what logiclife has said only brings out the true face of the some people behind immigrationvoice.org. It all boils down to "who has a US degree and who hasnt"..well, Mr logiclife, You dont know the value of a US degree simply because you dont have one! I want my GC as much as some people here without a US degree, but to classify a US degree as being the same as "warm spit" is just plain "uneducated". Now, I really appreciate all that immigrationvoice.org is doing for our community, but some of the these stupid racist comments from the so-called administartors,with such an attitude,who happen to meet the US lawmakers scares me a lot.

Would've joined Team IV too. But distance is a factor stopping me. I can't participate in any of the marathons listed. My moral support is with you guys.
