The total number of applications excluding EB2, EB3 are 7,653.
The total visa's per annum -> 140,000
Considering that there would be more applications during the year from non-retrogressed countries/categories ..it is evident now that there won't be more than 5K such applications. On pessimistic side even if we consider 10K such applications, The visas available for retrogressed EB2 and EB3 should be around 120K this year.
Total pending EB2 is 74,932. So EB2 should be Current for all countries this year.
EB3 should get around 40K visas this year.
Any one disagrees?
I thought each EB category could get upto 28.6% of 140000 = 40000 visas every fiscal year. So if EB1 uses up 5000 and EB2 takes the remaining 35000 and its annual allotment of 40000, EB3 does not get any spillover.

I saw posts of several members extremely skeptical of the whole idea, even went on calling it stupid, crazy and useless. Some made mockery suggesting sending dead fish etc. I don't see any more posts from them.
Keeping mum now are we, eh?:rolleyes:
Yes I was the one who suggested the dead fish. I belive in RESULTS, if sending these flowers actually ACHIEVES something, I will make a nice big biscuit of my words and eat them :).
Until we see ACTUAL "POSITIVE" RESULTS I am still going to be skeptical. Sure we have made a lot of noise and it has been heard by a lot of miscallaneous people. So were the rallies held by the illegals. What happened? NOTHING! So until I see some results YES I will STILL be skeptical.
Other than that, I really really really hope for everyone's sake, that this works and if it does I will eat my words and become a believer:)
So much for being mum eh ;)

Please dont use google it is a waste of time - FBI uses its own databases and looks for 'hits' in terms of derogatory information.
Instead lobby for the following:-
1) USCIS should have the authority to ask FBI as to why the namecheck is taking so long and provision to expediate name check if it is has been pending for more than 'x' number of years (probably 2 or 3 i guess).
2) FBI should provide a reason for the delay. Most of the time (80%) the delay is simply because they dont have the time to open your file.
3) Procedure to Pay $500-$1000 to expediate NC (1 week) with a yes or No result. this will all allow FBI to obtain resources to process NCs faster
NC is the next bottle neck that we have to lobby for.
Asking USCIS to expedite the NAME CHECK only after 2 years is UNACCEPTABLE!! NameChecks should have resolution within 3 months. Its a security issue.
It is the USCIS which initiates the NAMECHECK process and it also has expanded the scope of NAMECHECK increasing the backlog. So, we need to go after USCIS and should NOT PAY more in this INEFFICIENT process!

Hope that dream becomes true for many of us.....Keep this thread alive, maybe we can motivate the Congress to pass this rule.

Ofcourse, they have to put up resources, van, driver to drive these flowers and deliver.
I don't think they will go thru with it fully. They may just send the first batch of flowers to the veterans and then, send the rest to the trash...:eek:

Yes true but passing of Vise arecapture bill is like waiting for 'Kumbhkaran' to wake up, they've been sleeping for 4-5 years what is the gurantee that they'll not sleep for another 5 years on the immigration bills ? Also, how is the spillover going to be distributed among EB3? First EB3 ROW and then EB3 C/I as in the old system?
Personally, I think the visa recapture bill would help things quite a bit.

Congrats!!!! Can you please tell the SR process? Do we have to tell the reason why we want SR on the case? If yes, what was your reason to open SR? Thanks!
Bhai logon... mera bhi number aagaya... I got the the approval email and status changed to Decision (for me and my wife).
Best of luck for those waiting...
FYI: I opened SR on Aug 4th... Yesterday I got response that my GC is approved (but the status online was still Initial review) and now today morning my status changed and I got approval email and an SMS too.
Given the above, I seriously think SR works. They must have checked my SR and then approved my GC.

Buying house is not much different than buying stocks - both of them are investments at the most fundamental level and are hence susceptible to ups and downs. If you don't have stomach for it just don't do it.
Almost similar except:
1. You can't sell with a single click on E-Trade
2. Unlike stocks You pay taxes on your house every year.
3. You are leveraged 1:5 in your investment.
4. Your real estate investment is based on debt while stock (with an exception of margin calls) is purely on cash.
5. In stock you can never loose more than you invested. (again margin calls are exception)
6. You don't pay to play or you don't constantly have to pay to keep what you have invested.
7. Govt don't give you tax breaks to buy stock.
8. Equity holders are never bailed out by govt.
That makes real estate much leveraged and bigger liability than stock could stock ever be. And somehow govt. wants to promote home owner society but discourage stock ownership or saving minded frugal individual investors like us.

Since no one is against eliminating fraud on H1/L1 - atleast on this forum - is there any chance we can request messrs Durbib/Grassley to tack on issues/amendments to prefile 485 or polish AC21 to its true intent of freeing up workers? maybe they wont accede but atleast it will end up calling them out ontheir bluff of supporting worker rights and expose their fierce hatred of immigrants..

Fill it with both primary and derivative details. Write in small font with a pen. This will avoid different forms for each applicant.
If you take 1st line you want to write two names in it, that would create a confusion.
If I fill up another applicaiton for derivative, I have to fill up the same way as I filled for myself right? then I will go for this option.

Can anyone answer this question please?
In I-485, when we enter I-94 information, I am not sure which date to use in the valid field.
The date on my white EAD card expired already. I have a new I-797 which is valid until 2010. My guess is I should enter this date. Can any one please confirm?
Thanks a lot!

Agreed. But EAD doesn�t apply to EB based immigrants alone. There are hundreds of thousands of family based immigrants who use EAD until their status gets adjusted and I-140/AC21/180 days etc. are not applicable to them. Same applies to the spouses of EB applicants. In such cases it�s a waste of time/money for the company to consult with the legal department.
I believe it�s the responsibility of the EAD holder to communicate what he expects from the new employer (like AC21) after which the company could decide whether to go with the legal department or not. Just assuming that all EAD cases fall under I-140/AC21/180 days etc. is plain ignorance.
Even if the EAD falls under I-140/AC21, you don't necessarily have to invoke portability. It is none of their business under what category the EAD is. I can have an EAD from I-140/I-485 filing, and then use it to work for five years at one employer, and then switch to a third employer to port the I-485. If the GC process is going to take 10 years, why should I want to invoke AC21 every time I switch a job? I would do this only at the last job I take, when my PD becomes current.

I asked this question several times on all the threads that are discussing the new USCIS data, but no one seems to be answering this, but I think it is important to make sure this wrinkle is sorted out...
When they say inventory of 485 apps.. by any chance does it mean only the 485 that has been pre-adjudicated? I wish that was not the case.. but these numbers are too small to believe otherwise.. I hope one of the doctors in USCIS VB Theory (and I know there are a whole lot of them here on this forum) can sort this doubt quickly by throwing some nice logic.. But I would like to hear that so I am convinced with the quality of thi spread sheet.

Hi there,
Another question, i got my I140 approved from Texas center although filed at NSC (premium processing). Will my I485 apps also be handled by Texas or they are independent?
Thanks
I got this from :http://www.usvisahelp.com/filingtips2.html
"Note that an employment-based I-485 application that is filed concurrently with an I-140 immigrant petition must also be filed at the Nebraska Service Center, since all I-140 petitions are now filed at Nebraska. However, an I-485 application filed to accompany a currently pending I-140 petition would be filed either at Nebraska or Texas, depending upon which service center issued the receipt notice for the I-140."
According to this, I guess your I-485 should be handled by Taxas service center. But don't take this as the final answer. Check with your lawyer to make sure.

My $0.02. This could be a pre-emptive measure on the part of AILA. There must have been some talk at the state department of mid-month regression. This might be a strategy to scotch that. Raise a ruckus and send a message that we are prepared to file a law suit. Who knows? We are mere pawns in this grand game. Whatever happens, I hope people keep some perspective and not lose sleep over this.
- Sri
yeah right. scare the state-department with a lawsuit.
guys, this is the government we are talking about. A lawsuit is not going to deter them. AILA will settle, the government will investigate and some poor sod somewhere will be fired. Life will then go-on with us hanging on in limbo.
Whatever happens, I hope people keep some perspective and not lose sleep over this.
good advice. Since we cant control whats happening, might as well take our mind off it, and wait and see what happens.

Why would they think like that?, USCIS made a mistake. They tried to cover (by making visas unavailable) their ass to save their jobs. Thats why we have congress to help us out.
For USCIS its a bad publicity.
I am telling you guys, the USCIS is gonna SERIOUSLY think "Lets keep screwing these guys and getting free stuff AND free publicity"

Guys do not feed the freeloaders by telling anything you are reading in the donor forum. Let these people help themselves by signing up for recurring contributions if they want helpful nformation about their EB2 PD movemement. We are still not meeting of our advocacy day amount. It is all because most people want free lunches. This needs to stop. The 200 people going to DC tomorrow are going to speak for you and me for yours and mine greencard. They are taking time off and spending own money for you and me. Nothing is free in this world. IV is also doing this for you and me and we are taking it for granted.

Let me guess something .. you are from CTS ... :-)
Your rocket science of 'report' to employer manager can be easily busted just by producing couple of emails from client managers assigning work to these L1 babies... true these companies would have a so called psuedo manager in their client locations just to fool USCIS BUT unfortunately ICE investigators are trained and informed about such fraudulant arrangements. Once we produce couple of emails (hope atleast few of us would be copied in those work assignment / weekly status emails) proving the direct work assignment from client these phony arrangements doesn't hold good. Second if we could prove that these so called managers doesn't even belong to our team (look for org charts/team list/email lists where these phony managers name would never be mentioned) just produce those evidence along with the above mentioned work assignments.. ICE investigators would take care of our 'rocket scientists'.
My dear 'new born' ...what ever you do ... every crime leaves its own trail ... how long you guys would continue this shady mode of operation.. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU VIOLAITNG THE RULES.... GREED JUST CORPORATE GREED, individual resources are just pawns in this fraud.
When did you realize the L1 Fraud? The day you were hired or the day you were fired?
There was story of a man who used to beat his wife after coming back from work. Apparently he was frustrated with his boss and his wife was the victim of his frustration. He soon realized a remedy to his situation. He built an effigy of his boss and hid it in a safe & lonely place. Everyday after work he used to go there and beat and curse the shit out of that effigy. He could then return to his normal family life and continue to love his wife.
You remind me of that guy. This forum is your safe place and all the dumb IV members responding to you are your effigies. I am a part of this dumb group so go ahead and throw some of that leftover shit on me.
