Last year there were not unused visas.
Worldwide Employment-Based preference limit: 147,148
Actual number of EB visas issued: 154,458
Check Immigrant visas FY 2007 (http://www.travel.state.gov/pdf/FY07AnnualReportTableV.pdf)
That is true. but it only happened because of the aggressive Visa Date setting of DOS and hence the Visa Fiasco..
I dont think you can expect something similar this year

Anything less than 800,000 is good... even a few hundred thousand less :) There's still a lot of work and patience required but a good news is a good news nevertheless.
any news in Good News. Now with 480,000 less applications it even a better NEWS. But I aggree our efforts needs to continue towards reform. I believe even if they only change law regarding Counting Family members in Visa numbers. That will work very well for us.

I would say Canada because British Columbia has a much higher standard of living than Boston. Canada is generally a much better place for raising kids and the stress levels are lower because of freebies like health care etc. BC also has a much better weather compared to Boston.
The other reason is that you could always come to the USA from Canada later but if you lose the Canadian PR now and don't manage to get a green card in the US, you lose everything.
Hi All,
I would really appreciate everyone's honest opinions on this matter.
We filed 140 and 485 concurrently in July 2007, EB3. As of now there is no word on either application. Previously we had also obtained Canadian PR, the 3 year grace period of which will expire this August.
Not only am I faced with a decision of staying in the US or going to Canada, but my future career is on the line too. This year I will be 23. After taking my undergrad degree in electrical engineering, I have been accepted into Boston University Law School in the US as well as the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law in Canada. Canadian lawyers make around half as much as American ones after all factors are considered.
In your opinion, should I stay in the US, going to law school, in hopes that the green card will come through, or should I pursue a new life in Canada, but take the lower future salary / international renown?
This issue is currently causing much discord in my family. I hope to hear your frank opinion so that I won't take my decision lightly.
Many Thanks! :)

First of all what you want honorable Minister to do. Ask him to talk to US Congress to pass the law so that we get GC faster. Let say he speaks on our behalf. All I see happening is things getting worse rather than getting better. Those who are on the other side of the table will get a point to oppose to those who are supporting us. This is what going to happen. Every provision that is supporting our cause will be opposed by the fact that it has been done under the influence of foreign Government in this case it will be Indian. Organizations like numberusa is vehemently looking for a way to prove that how all pro-immigration provisions are anti-american. So we hand over them the Jackpot.
Whole idea of involving Indian Minister looks to me like small kids involved in a fight seeking help of their parents to get the issues fixed. Here we are not dealing with neighbors kid. Lets grow up..
If the minister talks to the US President regarding VISA retrogression problem,How the outside world will come to know ? The discussions will be kept confidential ! I don't think everything will be disclosed to the press. VISA revalidation is another thing he can talk to US Secretary of State.

Mine took 8 days after the online status changed to approved-so don't worry. It's funny, on their website, they said documents mailed on sept 10, but i rcvd them on sept 17th. When i rcvd the AP, i realized the documents were mailed on sept 13-sept -- so don't blindly trust what is online.
There was a black line---uscis printer completely screwed up-and the first line of the address on mailing envelope and the address was completely un-readable. I am not sure how we even got it in mail.
I second to CC123. I had G-28 on everything. I got the EAD and AP directly. However, I did not get any original receipt notices from USCIS. My lawyer got the all original receipt notices.

First thing is why members have found that title is scary? I dont think it is scary......it might attract your attention. Probably most of people who got scared might be using EAD or are considering using it
I think using AC21 does not imply that 485 will be denied. In a hypothetical situation lets assume it is denied we need to find why it is being denied? One can always switch to h1b (with previous employer - should be valid when AOS is denied) by going to home country and getting h1b stamp on passport but even before you have to do it you can appeal in court and you will be able to stay here.
I was discussing the same issue today with Ron Gotcher ( you can find it on his website as I have the same userid) and he said unless you are inadmissible or commit a fraud or have broken immigration law in past AOS is not denied. Just in case if you have done any of the above three things then your AOS can be denied and you can not even get any type of non immigrant visa.......... For using AC21 just make sure that:
140 is approved Your GC sponsor will not revoke 140Your GC job description and new EAD job description are same or similar (title does not matter) . ONet code for both the jobs match. If you ensure the above things then there is no issue using EAD for a job after 180 day of filing 485. Hope this helps and people who got scared does not gives me red dots for speaking aloud.
Support IV and make the difference for yourself and everyone else in the immigrant community.

[QUOTE=pd052009;2116961]GC quota should be based on skillset(1,2,3), not solely based on salary.(remeber, we are talking about future salary here).
we do have it : EB1/EB2/EB3. See EB1 is exploited by 'lot of' people (due to legal loophole) -these people have 4-5 yrs. total work-exp. & get half the salaries & are only 50% useful to US economy than tons of people stuck in eb2 & eb3.
(i know - it is all useless discussion ; won't result in anything).

one GC for each family (3 or 4) members, instead of treating as multiple GC's.
say for a family of 4 uscis is treating it as 4 GC instead they can treat this as a single GC. which will make many people eligible for GC
From your Keyboard to the Lord's ears!
Sadly I don't think so :)

And Grrrrr why only for the benefit of "others"? And I thot we were "friends"..

I recently came across an old friend of mine. I was shocked to hear his case. He is an original applicant EB3 India with PD of September 1998. Please note he is the original applicant and this is not labor substitution.
Here are the details
Sep 1998 : Applied with Texas Workforce Commision as regular Non RIR.
Oct 2001: TWC asked to do recruitment. No action was taken on submitting results.
October 2006 : Labor finally approved from Dallas BEC. Concurrently file I 140 and I 485.
Jan 2007 : I 140 approved.
Nov 2007: Took Infopass appointment. Was told case pending name check.
This case is absolutely amazing. My friend doesnt care anymore since he recently married US citizen (genuine case ABCD). He has worked at the same company since 1998 and stuck to stupid job (non IT). My PD is August 2001 and seeing his case I am getting mentally prepared for much much longer wait.
Thanks

Just got back (I am from NC, went by Bus from RTP).
Attending the Rally felt really good. We are legal and we should have spoken up long ago!
IV effots and organization was great!
It was seriously expecting more people though. That was really sad ! So many banners & signboard... but not that many people. :mad:
I doubt if the count was greater than 1500...

This is not a flaming forum. There is no need to take an advise given to a person personally and then call other people names and take a high pedestal. If you are in a position to take an advise take it or leave it.
Now to your observations and my responses.
1. I am a full time employee too with a fortune 500 company working for the past 6 years with the same company since I got laid off first after working for another American company for 3 years. So there goes your argument for working with a desi company.
2. Never been on bench due to the above reason
3. you probably were in your high school or early college when I started my programming career back in 93 and now work as an Enterprise architect. So just chill out and don't try to categorize people based on your limited understanding. Don't even attempt to talk about my skills and what I know and don't.
4. You just equated one simple post of helping a fellow person by advising him to be here for some more time to get a job to 'faking my entire career and labeled me as a fake'. Shows how mature you are
5. Its good that not a single line in your resume if fake.. then you should not be offended at all by my statement.
6. Oh BTW.. I do happen to have 2 Master Degrees from US of A and more than amply qualified to apply in EB2 category but due to the HR policies of the company could only apply in EB3.
Now cool down and take your frustration elsewhere..your time will come..
cheers

What makes you think that everybody fakes theirs resumes? You are talking like its just a matter of fact that faking resume is the only way people get jobs (and what is this project business????). I now know that YOU got your job by faking your skills. And shame on you for doing that!
You conveniently missed out the 4th reason in your list
The employers filed for H-1Bs kowing very well they did not have a job to give to the candidate. The immigrants would come to the US, get "trained" to lie their way into a job, pratice more lying, fake reumes (like you have), then get into a project, get fired in 1 month or 2, go on bench, unpaind, find another project by practising more lying, and so on.
My friend, I take my statement back when I included you in the genuine candidate group. You are no better than the OP. You fakers deserve to end up in prison!
To answer your original question: not a single line on my resume is fake. And I'm not working on "projects". I have a full-time job and I'm with the same employer for the past 4 years!!!!!!!!!
Get out of your desi consultancy world for a change and see how the world outside of your little fakers club works. Not everybody is lying their way into "projects".
