U know what, actually we all eb2 guys are very sad about the eb3 plight. And if we do get a visa number, we will request uscis to dsitribute it to eb3 category. does this make u guys happy now ???
why dont u think abt those guys, who filed in eb3 earlier, knew that the trouble is brewing, and switched jobs to be able to file under eb2. why you guys dint do that so far. dont blame uscis. they were, the are and they will remain a mystery for ever. its not our birthright. if DOS thinks they need more research grads, they will keep eb1 current, if they need more exp guys, they will improve the b2 category. And if they need more frsh grads, they will come to eb3. And if some exp person is stuck in eb3, he himself is to be blamed. dont blame anyone else for your ignorance of GC rules then.
So fact is we all are under DOS/USCIS mercy. 2 years back it was eb3 turn, now it is eb2 turn. Unfortunately no is blaming why ebI is always current. if that reason you can digest, then you should have the gall to digest this one too.
Ok, this thread is degenerating. I had told nothing against EB2 other than saying that we cant be happy for anyone given our situation. We are not asking for any pity, or asking for you to be sad for us. You being (or anyone) sad for us will not make us happy. You "asking USCIS to give us your numbers" will not make us happy either.
So please stop saying things which is obviously trying to make light of our situation. I see that even though most EB3ers are talking about why the law changed and if it is reasonable for the law to have been reinterpreted, *most* EB2s are responding at a personal level.
BTW: DoS does not make the determination if they want more or less of Eb1, Eb2, and Eb3s. The law does that. Also note that it wants all 3 categories in equal quantities -- when there is sufficient demand.

Just being paranoid, but is 797 the number for the "receipt notice" as well as notice of action? I know that when H1 or 140 is decided, the notice of action form is called 797. I know that the USCIS seems pretty clear in the FAQ, but just wanted to confirm that a receipt is also called 797

This is a basic supply and demand issue.
When H1-B yearly cap is getting used up within days, what is the reason for allowing H-4 to work.
The only way you would see a change in the rule is when there are not many H1-B takers, and they need to attract more families.
Don't get me wrong, i am not trying to say H-4s should not be given the oppertunity. Just think in terms of the need for this country. Not our personal needs.

Well it seems the idea to get a Stimulus for 2008 for people having spouses with ITIN is nearing dead end (no action). Now the government is planning another stimulus. I think we should work on taking the necessary steps to prevent the same happening this year (being dropped out). I think we should raise awareness and write to all people including President Obama.
Ideas / comments?
The problem is, that for all my efforts, people just don't seem to care. The only reason I had any success was the embarrassment I caused the government because of all the soldiers who were excluded. Immigrants in the US are viewed by most people as an unwanted scourge.
My employer has also been no help at all. I have been looking for work outside of the US, but unfortunately, the economic situation makes that a bit more challenging. Sorry if I sound pessimistic. That is just my personal experience.

let's discuss effective ways forward rather than the pessimistic tone I see here.
Bestin: the core is involved. Some of the core are just very busy on IV stuff. I spoke with Aman last week he called me from the airport -- a trip to DC. Some people are cagey about handing out personal details and while it is frustrating let's have some respect. I'm one of the few who puts their full name in signature, and my user id is my name, and I say I'm from NY, so it only takes a telephone directory search to find my phone number and address. But you won't hear me calling people names for not giving contact details. Some people are more reserved than others, for example, my wife used to live in a communist police state where the state was out to get you, so she is more reserved. Frustrating I know. Enough said, let's look for positive things to do.
SO ON THE POSITIVE SIDE:
I got another 33 letters this week, and expect about same next week, and have 2 US citizens who will likely get me another 20. So I might make 100+.
My total in hand so far: 43
I'd be happy to continue for several weeks or months, but will go with what the core decides for drawing the line.
TIP:
Where you know someone who works at a different place to you ask them to collect some letters from their work place and give them to you or mail them to you. I'm expecting to get at least 20 that way next week alone, maybe more later.

I have been dealing with them from two years and so no issues in fact they did the best for me .I would rate them five star with excellence. I know other law firms ...worst than Fragomen.
I am dealing with there Chicago office. Excellent attorney and paralegal assigned for my case.

Hi - I have had a very bad experience with Fragomen, everything was filed correctly but the way they treat their client is pathetic. I have heard a lot of people are victims of this big corporation, lets get together to fix this.I had used their service once when i was in L2.They were the attorneys for my wife's corporation and my wifes corp files their visa extension only just before it expires.I was on L2EAD and the safer bet would have been to file atleast with the same petion extension for my ead extension.They charged about 1000 dollars,but i dont know how,i got my new EAD card and receipt notice together.But the L1 extension notices were received after about a week of receipt of ead.EAD was still far ahead of the processing time at vermont service center.
I still doubt filing thru attorneys makes things work out quicker.
My first EAD (used an attorney) in L2 was approved in about 65 days.Extension got approved in less than 20 days.Currently i am on L1 and my wife on l2.I applied online for her EAD and it is almost 80 days .No updates yet.

Most countries do not have 9,800 EB applicants every year - in fact, most countries use well under 1,000.
The total number of applicants from other countries can be derived from roughly estimating number if H1 holders, adjusting for Indians and Chinese, and then dividing by 2 (50% of H1Bs never end up getting a green card), and then multiplying by 2 to adjust for derivatives. The bottom line - there are visas available in EB2 ROW and EB1 categories (which are current, meaning, undersubscribed), that are getting redistributed to EB3 ROW. This is why EB3 in total is using more than its share of 140,000 EBs. In fact, I believe the dates will be moving pretty fast on EB3 ROW, it will probably get all current in a couple of years.
Yes. The overflow will go to EB3 ROW first and then to the over subscribed countries and will get evoporate :) The avaiable visa's then goes back to square one. This is why at times EB3 ROW is also getting back logged and many in ROW oppose this trend as well.
I am of the opinion that there should not be any country specific quota in EB at all. When it is already proved that no American is available for the skill set required and being substituted with a Foreign worker, then from where the nationality came in to the picture? Does the companies bother about the skill set required or the nationality? If not, then why USCIS should bother about it and create a mess in the work force? I hope they will realize this soon and make amendments accordingly.
Thanks

Given that the dates have moved to Oct 05, for someone with a PD in Mar 2005 how long will it take from now to get the actual card.
-Chiru
well chiru....
a applicant get the approval on the first day his pd is current or he might not even get approved ... it all depends on what uscis has done with his application in the past

This question is not to undermine the effort, which was tremendous but just from a realistic point of view...
I'm just curious to know how long it will take for the impact of this rally to be felt and what are the changes that can be expected from USCIS as a result and how long will it take?
Say, after waiting for a few months, status quo continues, what further actions are planned to persist with IV's cause (i.e. more rallies or by other means) ?
If the same question has been already raised, please ignore.
Thanks.
If you are from India or from a country which fought for its freedom, you would not ask this question.
When M.K.Gandhi held his first rally against the British rulers(nothing personal here Franklin and Mark :) ), it did not result in immediate freedom, but was it worthless ?

Ok. Visa bulletin for December gets published. We are all shocked or surprised by the cut off dates. So, we decide to bash USCIS, run all possible permutations on visa numbers (how many different ways are we going to continue analyzing 140,000 visas), some have even proposed fasting and there are some who are threatening to move to Canada or India (I am not sure who is stopping them).
Let us analyze all the proposed solutions and see if they will really get us anywhere:
1. Bash USCIS: I am not sure if anyone at USCIS or the administration would care. You can stand at the top of Washington Monument and scream and not a single soul will care.
2. Analysis/Paralysis of available visa numbers and the possible movements: USCIS, the department that has access to all the required data is struggling to forecast visa availability, but, I see my friends here with very limited access to data trying to forecast Visa movement. I can bet, even with all the smart PHD�s here that we will not be able to forecast visa availability even, if we built the most complex model and continue to have limited access to data. So, this is just an exercise in futility.
3. Fasting in front of Governor�s office: Great idea! We can work off all the excess weight that we may have put on that we have gained due to over eating (one of the symptoms of stress or depression). I think we are choosing the wrong time of the year to do this. It is cold outside and I am not sure if anyone would even stop by the poor souls to pour us a hot cup of coffee. However, we may gain some publicity. Better than idea 1 and 2.
4. Moving to Canada or India: Please do and USCIS will be glad that they have one less case file to deal with and Numbers USA or Lou Dobbs will pay for the ticket.
Unless we stop these frivolous discussions over pathetic suggestions to fix the problem we will continue ignoring real solutions.
We need to think and execute with a sound long term strategy (12-18 months). Let us not try to eat the elephant in one bite. Let us fix this problem with small, manageable and doable steps.
I hope I do not offend anyone. I think it is time to be serious about the road we take from here.
