bestia,
My point is enjoy your dinner, yes you can't worry about every hungry man but don't tell the hungry to enjoy the hunger! If we can't help them let's not rub it in their face. That's all I am saying. Anyway, my comment wasn't meant for you. You have shown understanding. I did see a few ppl earlier who literally asked ppl to "shut up and enjoy the ride". That really pi*** me off.
Come on, man. We are paying too much attention here. Look, there is always somebody stuck somewhere. People are stuck in BEC, in other contries. People are stuck in Afganistan, Bangalore, there are hungry people stuck in Africa. So? If there are hungry people, then I can't enjoy my dinner then? Someone always has to come and say "you enjoy and there are people stuck somewhere"? What's your reaction would be if someone come on your wedding and start complaining that he is impotent? - these are a little extreme examples, just to make a point.
Bigtime008,
Its really your judgement call if you believe whether IV is an organization that is helping BEC victims. I think the focus of this organization is retrogression relief. Nothing wrong or right about it.
IV core keeps telling us, BEC is always on their agenda. Really? If they did not even understand our pain and consider our frustration a disruption to people's happiness, how can we expect them to help? I still think IV is a great org, as it's the first such organization to speak out for legal immigrants. But when it comes to BEC victims, I did not see IV changed anything, or intend to change anything.

When will EB3 ROW become current, or current for YOU? The answer would be different depending on your exact question.
Without administrative and legislative changes, the answer to number one is "a very long time" and I think I'd be safe to say that is a conservative estimate. For the record, I'm also EB3 ROW, with a PD of early 2004. I would say that would be current in 3 or 4 years
There are roughly 200 countries in the world. It is very simple maths to figure out that 200 * 9800 (the 7% limit per country) = about 1,960,000. Its pretty obvious that this is much more than the limit of 140,000 total per annum.. and you begin to see why there is a problem. Sure - each country has a 7% theroetical limit, but not EVERY country will use that in a year. Of ROW countries, UK is pretty close to its 7% per year. Others, like Lichenstein are not (or they would all be in the US and the country would not be just one big vacation home)
Just curious Franklin...somebody on the forum mentioned that you already got your greencard...if you have a PD of 2004, how did that happen...did I miss something?

However its better to conduct a rally in a week-end. Sometimes congress works in a week-end, if we conduct the rally in a week-end then many from NOVA will be able attend. That gives the nos. we are looking for. The other thing is the drive each and every one of the member need to do create awareness among like us. Some are not aware though on the same boat others are afraid due to lack of awareness.
Even my manager who is a white American told me he will join us for the rally if one conducted to show his solidarity.
Thanks

Credit cards are issued mostly to GC holders only unless they have a checking account as well with the institution-unless one lies in the application. You are also presuming a 100% credit worthiness and sign up rate - extremely optimistic. This would work when IV is about a million strong and if people like you and me become 'resident' aliens - and dont turn our backs on those behind us.

I think desi3933 is right -- that one cannot file AOS without PD being current. However, this does not mean we should give up pursuing our goal. The secretary of DHS specially made it clear that she is willing to push for changes both regulatory AND legislative. But before putting in any effort, she will need to know what changes to push for. She even specifically mentioned the issue with pre-application of AOS, which seems to me a real good chance to get the message delivered.
Just for starters, here are the benefits I can think of about pre-filing of AOS:
- By having all applications on file, let USCIS better predict case load and allow DOS Visa Office to make informed decision on Cutoff Date movements
- Create more revenue for USICS (DHS) via AP and EAD applications
- Reduce the work load of Overseas Consulates when applicants with AP does not have to apply re-entry H1B visa.
- Many H1B visa holders have to go through the administrative procedure when applying re-entry visa. This process is more or less a duplicate with the background check required for green card application. When the applicant is allowed to travel with AP, the effort of background check is consolidated and allow resources to be better utilized.
- EAD allows applicants more freedom to change job, this will results in better resource distribution to accommodate the rapid changes of the economy, and it makes the market the most important factor to determine wages.
Please add whatever you feel missing to the points and maybe we'll come up with a formal letter to communicate to the secretary.
Last, to address the concern that USCIS may be flooded by AOS applications from freshly off-the-boat H1B's, restrictions need to be put on the qualification of AOS. What I could think of is:
- Must have approved I-140 (immigration visa. I think this restriction makes the most sense)
- Must have priority date older than a certain number of years
- Must have been in the US legally for five years
- etc.
Read again
(3) an immigrant visa is immediately available to him at the time his application is filed.
Explanation - At the time when the application (i.e. I-485) is filed by applicant, an immigrant visa is immediately available (i.e. PD is current).
If you still have doubt, talk to your attorney and post here what he/she told you.
Have a good day!

This is an interesting development. It will create a clear division among supporters of CIR. It is so enticing to say,"who cares about CIR if we have SKIL" from our perspective. Hopefully this is a sincere effort not just some political posturing.

Skilled Bill
In a move that high-tech groups predict could break the impasse over immigration legislation, Arizona’s John Shadegg, a member of the House leadership, says he’ll introduce legislation to increase visas and citizenship opportunities for skilled workers.
The bill mirrors a Senate Republican-sponsored bill and would more than double the number of temporary visas and permanent green cards available to skilled workers each year. The bill also would make it easier for U.S.-educated foreign nationals to stay here after graduation and work in their field of study.
The measure is the first time Republican conservatives in the House have endorsed any immigration bill that didn’t deal solely with border enforcement. A Shadegg spokesman said some House members also favor passing a measure that makes more visas available to agriculture workers. He predicted that action could begin on both measures after Congress comes back from its summer recess — and after a long string of House immigration hearings has run its course.
That still leaves out a guest-worker program and some plan for dealing with illegal immigrants already here, but would inch the House closer to a Senate immigration-overhaul bill.
Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R., Wis.) has insisted he won’t permit any immigration bill to pass until border enforcement is tightened. If a measure that eases visa backlogs for highly skilled workers has to go through his committee, “that could be a problem,” says a Shadegg spokesman.
But high-tech groups say the bill shines attention on their need for skilled workers, and on what they call the dangers to U.S. competitiveness if more visas aren’t made available. “It lets us talk about our issue,” says the National Association of Manufacturers’s Sandra Boyd. –June Kronholz

Everybody knows exercising is good. However, it is not easy to see the results of exercising. To see the results, you may have to stop exercising and then only you will realise oh, this is what exercising helps me not become.
If you want to sit and say, let the exercise show me the results and then I will do, well it's up to you. If you are happy the way you are , fine. But, don't knock the exercise.
Personally, I am not desperate about GC, so I never contributed except for 2 instances. One was a 100$ thank you gift for the SSN that came with EAD that got me additional 600$ tax refund. I felt IV has atleast has something to do with the visa bulletin reversal. Some may say, it could have happened even without IV, and may be correct.
The other time is 25$ for FOIA, where I was curious to get a clear picture of how many people are in the line before me.
Now, eventhough I don't believe in all other activities IV is doing , I don't go around knocking them down. I am sure they are trying to do the best they can and the best that they can think of. They always have an open invitation for people to join them and get involved. No, we don't want to get involved, get our hands dirty,but we want periodic updates and continuous progress.
Well, goodluck with that.
For those asking for money, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE UPDATE ON ANY PROGRESS SPECIFICALLY ACHIEVED BY IV IN THE LAST YEAR AND HALF !!!
How can you justify this? Actually, you dont have to....There are many like me who will answer questions of panicked people about how to navigate the complex immigration system but until IV can provide some concrete proof of what specifically it is doing, how exactly it is spending the money and what roadmap of progress it hopes to achieve and whether it is on its way to achieving it....the money wells will continue to be dry.

This is in response to vldrao's and delax's calculations...
Are you people 'creating' new quota rules?? what is this 7% with regards to any category? 7% is the per country limit including all categories. EB1, EB2, and EB3 gets 28.6% each, out of the total available 140,000. This means each country will get 2802 visas for each of these three categories. However spillover can be redistributed to lower categories and to oversubscribed countries.

I think DOS knows a damn when they move the dates (I think everybody agrees with that) They still move their dates based on demand of approvals from last qtr / month and they calculate the expected demand. I think they are probably making the assumption that everything is normally distributed (atleast this is my assumption). I dont believe in numbers, but lets say for example :
If you see that for March they have about 43 EB3I applications current and through April they have made 55 EB3I current and they added only 8 apps through 2 months. (Also Chennai consulate appointment numbers decreased from 10 to 5 from March to April) But on the other hand, by making EB2 Dec 2003 they have added 150 applications to the pool. This does'nt make any sense.
I agree that there could be indians who applied EB3 and dont work for IT and not have access to or perhaps dont want to track them, but again it should not be too much when compared to EB2.
So in my opinion, if DOS calculates the same way they do the EB3I dates should move to some where in Jan 02 in three months and the last quarter is going to move to the end of 2002.
