Just kidding but won't hurt to do it though as everybody is so happy..
I think we should, this is a good time, people are happy. We should ask them to sign-up for monthly.

that's ok, you are eb2. so no worries, totally understand. no one is asking you to donate, did u get a personal email or phone call from me asking you to donate? You came to this thread, read my post, felt guilty conscious, and thought someone is asking you to donate, and came up with an absurd reason not to contribute. who asked you to contribute in the first place?
History? your I-485 was applied on 2nd July, 2007. Do u know the history of why u'r AOS was not thrown out the window because CIS reversed the visa bulletin? Who cares, as long as you are in the queue and others are paying for your free lunch.
.
I am not saying that you sent me personal request to donate, go through this website and you will see what I am talking abt.
that sounds like july second fiasco reversal from USCIS was affected by IV... I dont believe so.
I would not try to get the ocean level up by throwing pennies into it.

sagar_nyc, agreed. EB3 is a joke and even worst I have become a joker in front of all my friends who applied in EB2 cheating the system. Funny is, experience wise, I am well ahead of all those making fun of me but...:-(
too bad, eb3 does not even have a place to vent these days as IV forums and its thread only has discussions from EB2 members.
anyway, best of luck to everybody. the world is not fair, I am willing to fight my part to make it fair and just for all.
This has really become a joke.......EB2 India had 3,341 applicants in March-2005 and it has moved to OCT 2005 so that means 6869(from March-2005 to Oct 2005) EB2 nos are available....how is that possible (based on the 7% of 140,000 divided into 3 cateogories which is 3200 each for EB1 , EB2 and EB3) ...whereas EB3-I only moved to Nov 22nd ....come on give me a break.....THIS IS ABOSOULTELY BULLSHIT.....

Because going back to 2007 bulletin is lot of work for them. Looking at PD of each application and seperating it from the lot. If they just made it U, its easy...send everything back.
They have to do those work anyway. Because all the applications are not I-485 and also some ppl filed I-140 along with I-485. So, they do have to repackage those applications. Let us see,how events develops for couple of more days?.

I already mentioned in my previous posts (multiple posts with same matter for people like you and me, see it and understand it well) how we are getting more than 50k visas just for EB2 India. I am giving it here again the visa allotments for 2006 and 2007 years when theres vertical fallouts. Now its changed to horizontal fall outs.
Due to this as many of us think its not the EB3 India which is losing, but its EB3 ROW.
Class --------------------------------------> 2006 | 2007
Total Employment-based Approvals ----------> 159,081 | 162,176
EB1 ---------------------------------------> 36,960 | 26,697
EB2 ---------------------------------------> 21,911 | 44,162
EB3 ---------------------------------------> 89,922 | 85,030
Fourth:-------------------------------------> 9,539 | 5,481
Fifth (investors) ----------------------------> 749 | 806
See the Total Employment Based Visa approvals for 2006 and 2007 159,081 and 162,176. But there are only 140,000 visas in EB category. The rest of the visas came from Family Based visas which are not used for the previous fiscal year. The share for each category: Each EB1, EB2 and EB3 should get 1/3 of 140,000 = 46,666. But due to the less demand in EB1 and EB2 ROW all the visas falling to EB3 ROW due to the Vertical falling.
EB1 ROW --> EB2 ROW --> EB3 ROW.
EB1 INDIA --> EB2 INDIA --> EB3 INDIA.
As theres not much demand for EB1 ROW and EB2 ROW, all the unused visas are going to fall to EB3 ROW. So from this time its going to be like Horizotal fall out like below.
EB1 ROW/EB1 INDIA --> EB2 ROW/ EB2India/ EB2China-->EB3ROW/EB3 INDIA.
So this time to fall any VISAS into EB3 ROW they have to pass through EB2 India/EB2 China. So this makes EB3 ROW dates would retrogress due to the decrease in visa numbers availabilty.
As I said each category would have 46,666. So EB1 and EB2 together will have around 93,332 visas. But in EB1+EB2 in 2006 about 50,000 visas approved and in 2007 about 70,000 visas approved. So for 2008 also asume the demand for EB1 and EB2 is 70,000. But the availability of VISAS are 93,332 as said above + unused family visas which come around 19,000+.
So for this 2008 fiscal year for EB2 India and China the total visa numbers availlable are
(93,332 +19,000) - 70,000 = 42,332.
So around 42 thousand + 9,800 (regular 7% of 140k) = around 52k Visas Just for India , because EB2 China was already Jan 2006 a year back. And I dont think it would take any considerable share in this 50k other than its regular 9,800 visas.
Get me back if you have any doubts.
I think this makes complete sense. If USCIS continues with the same intent/logic from this point on then 50k visas is possible. We can argue over a few thousand here and there but the increase will be substantial as compared to prior years. The big caveat to all this is that USCIS/DOS continue the horizontal spill over from this point on.
Due to this as many of us think its not the EB3 India which is losing, but its EB3 ROW.

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

Agree with you 100%. I have been waiting patiently all along hoping something good would happen for EB3. I am talking to my employer if they can port my case to EB2. I have a master's degree and about 13 years of experience (8 years in the current job). My only concern is if the new EB2 labor or I140 doesn't get approved for some reason, can I fall back to my current EB3 application. I don't want to jeopardize my current application just by deciding to port to EB2. Any suggestions?
If I were you, I would make it clear to the employer that you qualify for tier 1 in UK and educate them on benefits of tier 1 vs waiting for green card then go from there. It worked for me.

This is not just "frostrated" but silly socialist thinking too. What has "joining hands" or "new comers with fake experiences" got to do with porting.
If you can port, then just DO IT and spare yourself the pain.... why wait for "en masse transfer to EB2 by porting" or talk about "ethical reasons" and then lament after the fact ???
:confused:
I hate to say this and I hope I am wrong. All of us EB3 folks need to start speaking up or else our fate is sealed. I do not see any hopes of CIR passing. There is always going to be some political backlash due to the AMNESTY factor.
From what I have seen, most employers are now filing only in EB2 category. They know that filing in EB3 will see their applicants backlogged so severly that there is no hope in seeing their applications approved. So, even those with less than 5 years of experience create resumes that show 5 years to qualify for EB2. Imagine the flood of applicants in EB2 that will pour in when the dates move forward beyond July 2007. There will be a new backlog of EB2 numbers that we have to wait behind. When are we going to get our turn?
With nearly 10 years of experience and a master's degree, I am still languishing behind all these new comers who come here with fake experiences to qualify for EB2.
We EB3 folks need to speak up, and have the spill over given to the oldest filed applications IRRESPECTIVE of category. The spillover rules from what I know were defined at a later stage and not as per the original law. If we cannot get CIR passed nor a piecemeal regulation, at least let us get the spillover changed.
Or, let us en masse transfer to EB2 by porting, thereby making us all eligible for GC ahead of those that are coming in through the back door. I see them as no different from the undocumented immigrants. Breaking the ethical law at the expense of those of us who followed the law. Our positions did not require a Master's degree and I dont see why a programming position today still requires such. I also dont see why our experience today should not count towards qualifying for EB2.
I dont care what or how many reds the EB2 folks give, but the fact of the matter is that we EB3 must join hands.

I am planning to move to a State, where the cost of living is low and hence the salary is lower than what is specified in my LC.
Is that an issue?
Thanks
>> Any location restrictions when using AC21?
No.
AC-21 job should be same/similar and must be full-time position.

What is good about it. How will this decrease our current backlogs. This is an amendment to change the merit based system, not solve the current backlog problem.
We cannot judge at this point in time what the final bill is going to be like.
If the merit based system after passage of the bill seem more lucrative then many will re apply under this system and we come back to square one - i.e backlogs
We have to get out of the current problem which will solve a lot of problems.
I hope this amendment will pass as it was proposed by important senators like, Chairman of Judiciary committee Mr Leahy, Mr Cornyn, Mr Hatch. This alters the equation completely. If it passes, the total EB & Merit based visas are 387,000. The total EB visas as per old system will be 230K.
Merit based system: 247K (147 for newly created point based +90 K to clear backlogs)
Employer Sponsored System (as per amendment) = 140K
Therefore 230K is available as per old EB system. Apart from that, most of the EB1 and EB2 guys and the dependents of EB visa holders will be exempted from numerical limitations. This is the proposal we should support.

I agree , especially if it fits majority of them ( and the 'types' of them ).
One needs real diversity in US population. There are too many here from EU.
It's really meaningless for you to keep talking about "too many here from EU". This country is formed by those people from EU(and American Indians) to start with. If you were here two hundred years ago, you were part of them, no one will ask you for GC. Those people who came to this land two hundred years ago and their descendants are now recognized as Americans. They are no longer English, German, French, Italian...etc. They are Americans and this is their country which is called United State of America.
When this country starts the immigration law, does the law say only people from Asia is limited to 7% and not for people from EU ?
If this country today has no limitation with immigration and welcome anyone to come and stay forever at any time. This country will not be a great country anymore and I am sure many of you will not care to come to this land anymore but seek for another place.

GC Seeker 2002 I know how if feels to be in status quo for 9-10 years. I will complete my 9 years at the end of this month.
I want to share the fact that if we channel our negative energy into something positive it helps relieve stress and at the end of the day you earn and learn something.
It does not have to be studies, for me it is studies and golf. In fact I have gotten to be good at golf too. And one of my dreams is to play on PGA tour. Well why not!!! Some of the greatest inventions have been in serendipity. Microwave, correll ware etc. You may find something too. Take Azim Premji's example. Think of of it as some greater force that is directing you to see something in front of you and is phenomenal.
Also remember that you find the lost objects only when you are not looking for them!!

I understand the need to gain grassroots strength, But at the same time I expect that IV core members to do better than arbitrary curt responses directing everyone to state chapter on this forum.
I am sure IV core do better, like for example, well crafted sticky memo explaining the need for state chapters/grassroots strength and dangers of remaining only an internet based group of anonymous members and why agenda of the IV will not be discussed or revealed in this forum. There was one good post explaining this.
Such a professional explanation is required to gain the respect of the newcomer on this forum and his views and at the same time promoting IV objectives.
IV and rest of us need each other to get this huge problem fixed.

After reading the exchange of zoophilic and acrimonious emails this evening, it seemed like reading accounts of state assembly sessions back home. Well, we never miss a chance, do we? For a change, please read General Pace's testimony to the so called 'hearings' earlier today. Contrary to the visible and glaring episodes that stand out in our day today life being targetted upon as immigrants or wannabies, posmd's words are solemn and should encourage us not to lose hope: "If you notice, despite all the bad press about illegals, despite 9/11, the majority of americans are still pro legal immigrants, we are largely to credit for this, along with the pride they have in their forefathers who made the same journey". General Pace's testimony today is a sample supporting the above. Ghost, it was nice of you apologize for your 'list-rage'; hopefully, whatever be the intentions, ForeverGC will learn to see the spirit
that keeps us going, at least before he or she gets the green card ;-)

Here is a message from Ajoba regarding the San Jose rally....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I must say that this is a great great effort. Both, the flower campaign and the rally. Nothing like this has been done before by wanna-be immigrants. We are hardworking, law abiding, well educated people. But until now, the general opinion was that we are at the mercy of the American immigration system. I was especially so frustrated when some of my friends thought that there was nothing wrong in what the USCIS did. Their response was simply "what can we do? let's just re-apply when the dates become current again". Historically, Indians (at least, from my experience) have been hesitant to protest against the wrongdoings of their rulers. This is seen even today, when we fear to raise our voice when our bosses or managers at work exploit us, or our advisers/professors exploit us, or if the USCIS changes rules in the middle of the game. In India too, the general opinion is "Nothing is going to change, let's not get into trouble". This rally has shown that things are changing. We all should wake up, and fight for our rights! I could not attend the rally as I am based in Michigan, but I thank all of you who protested for me and my family. I will do my best to support this effort in whatever way I can.
I am honestly curious. What changed in two months? You were desperate then, and you are not now?

We are hardworking, law abiding, well educated people. But until now, the general opinion was that we are at the mercy of the American immigration system. I was especially so frustrated when some of my friends thought that there was nothing wrong in what the USCIS did. Their response was simply "what can we do? let's just re-apply when the dates become current again". Historically, Indians (at least, from my experience) have been hesitant to protest against the wrongdoings of their rulers. This is seen even today, when we fear to raise our voice when our bosses or managers at work exploit us, or our advisers/professors exploit us, or if the USCIS changes rules in the middle of the game. In India too, the general opinion is "Nothing is going to change, let's not get into trouble". This rally has shown that things are changing. We all should wake up, and fight for our rights! I could not attend the rally as I am based in Michigan, but I thank all of you who protested for me and my family. I will do my best to support this effort in whatever way I can.
I am honestly curious. What changed in two months? You were desperate then, and you are not now?
