Its high time since we spent in doing the guesswork. But sadly that's the only way to get out of the mental agony any one in EB3 stands as of now.
Even obama has indicated that immig reform is in the attic and also visa bulletin site shows wordings like that 10000 numbers for EB3 has been cut to 5000 (it must be saying from long time back itself) which is another pain in the already open wound of EB3.
Good at least EB2 moved but sad story continues for EB3. My guesswork is that for EB3 some daylight will be possible only around feb 2010. If no moves happen even in next year then its s%^t for all of us in EB3.

there is such a huge backlog for Indians that even the news above won't help much... overflow from family category has slowed down and previous recaptured visas are over ..the news that CIR has been delayed could be good as there is higher chance that there maybe some sort of relief ..other than that the situation is HOPELESS !!!

Thanks a lot to the IV core. In my opinion, such impact by a minority grassroots organization is only possible in an country like the United States.
In the United States, if you can dream it you can make it happen. Thanks again to the IV team for their firm resolve through the process.

I know a lot of people have advised you not to go to the cops but I feel ( I have a young son ) that you should not let anyone who beat your 8 month old kid go unpunished.
I am not a lawyer but from what I have seen about this country justice is not denied . Local cops and Immigration are two separate branches of government . ( ICE enforces immigration issues )
If anyone had beaten my son then my H1b or GC or citizenship would be the last thing on my mind. My opinion - take advise from the lawyer right away.
You have made some mistakes by not checking for the nanny's references and other things but would you let her go scot free just so that she can do it to someone else's kid and maybe cause permanent harm the next time ??

Go for another M.S. to maintain F1. It doesn't have to be a phD.
In that case I would say go for PhD. Directly file GC under EB1 - no hassle no retrogression :)

Yes,, they did...
Our forefathers travelled to the promised land in ships that were full of rats, without food or water. Several of them died while trying to reach here.
Once here on the promised land, we had to fight our way to create a free society that you are dying to be part of. America is land of entrepreneurs.
And any one that don't have an entrepreneurial spirit is not welcomed here.
What do you have to bring to the table?
If you know so much about US then you must know this -
"immigrants were one of the key founders in more than a quarter of all the engineering and technology companies set up in the U.S. between 1995 and 2005. Further, it counted $52 billion in annual sales by these immigrant-founded companies, which employed 450,000 workers in 2005. "
http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/india/article.cfm?articleid=4205
Read what industry leaders from Microsoft, Google, Intel and Sun are talking about. Why they look to India and China. You dont want to understand this. Thats fine too. You did not have proper education to know this. Ask your parents why they neglected you while finding their soulmates (or ****buddies).
You "dumb and dumber" people just used this country and thought no one will ever challenge you. Now that you know very well your good old days are over you're talking all garbage. Go and hide where you can. You're not lucky enough to enjoy this country like your grandfathers did!! Bad luck buddy.
Keep talking rubbish if you wish as you've nothing better to do.

I incorporated the points you made and the revisions are in fuchsia:
The Ombudsman
USCIS
September 10. 2008
Sir/Madam,
On behalf of the employment-based legal immigrant community in the United States of America, I am writing to highlight the ongoing egregious inefficiencies in the immigration �services� provided by the USCIS and the DOS. There have been numerous occasions when there have been erratic movements in the DOS published visa bulletin dates. This, as we understand it, is owing to USCIS under- or over-estimating the number of applicants available for adjustment of status. And in the rare instances when the date finally moves forward by a substantial window, USCIS tends to approve the more recent applications as opposed to the ones that were filed earlier. Let me explain with an example: in the July 2008 visa bulletin, the cut-off date for the India EB2 category was 01 April 2004. A month later, the cut-off date for Indian EB2 applicants abruptly moved forward two years and was set at 01 June 2006. Instead of approving applicants who applied in 2004 and 2005, USCIS approved applicants from 2006. Where is the justice in that??? Why bother publishing the cut-off date if approvals are to be randomly allocated???
We understand we have to stand in line and wait our turn. Each applicant is assigned a priority date which chronologically determines his/her turn for approval. To further complicate matters, once the I-485 is filed, a crop of other dates are issued by the USCIS � a receipt date, a notice date and a processing date. USCIS then takes the liberty to throw random rules at us � �Case adjudication is based on receipt date� �No, we process applications based on notice date�, �Actually, it�s the processing date that determines which applications are adjusted.� !!!
Please take a moment to consider how these conflicting statements and arbitrary decisions wreak havoc on our morale and psyches? No one, NOT even the USCIS, has a clue as to what exactly is happening in their processing centers. The USCIS has never been able to clearly state the exact number of applications languishing, excuse us, we meant pending, in their �service� centers! We, employment-based immigrants, are tax-paying, law-abiding, educated individuals contributing to America�s knowledge economy - yet we have been subjected to the worst aspects of the US employment-based immigration system. These include:
1) Extended wait times at each step of the immigration process.
2) Lack of transparency on the part of USCIS (re: priority date, receipt date, notice date).
3) Lack of USCIS customer service � once applications are submitted to USCIS they disappear into a black hole. Barring a website where one can nominally check one�s case status (but which in reality remains static for months, even years!) there is no concept of updating an applicant on where his case stands. And this is despite the applicant paying immigration fees that often run into thousands of dollars over the years. We are simply expected to wait in a complete void of information, for however long it may take, until approval.
4) Lost opportunities owing to the lack of job portability during the process (a time period spanning an average of five years, whereas an applicant from any country besides India gets his/her PR card in under two years).
Another inconsistency, surfacing in August 2008, begs redressal � while I-485 applicants (albeit those from 2006 instead instead of earlier years) at the TSC were being approved in a steady stream, the NSC was almost completely inactive resulting in only a very few cases being approved prior to August 20th. After this date, the NSC appeared to completely hold off on all I-485 approvals while approvals continued at the TSC. Could somebody please account for this preferential treatment for I-485 applicants at the TSC versus those at the NSC? Furthermore, when complaint faxes were sent in to the NSC in protest, instead of issuing a formal statement to explain their approach, the NSC retaliated by issuing a bunch of RFEs. Is the USCIS trying to intimidate us so that we remain quiescent??
While we are grateful for the opportunity to partake in the American dream, it is ironic that we arrive in America and find that our freedom is shackled � we are bound to our sponsoring employer from the start to the end of an extremely lengthy process. Although legal immigration reform is our ongoing aim, for now, we sincerely request you to investigate the process whereby the monthly visa bulletin is set and to ensure FIFO (first in, first out) adjustment so that those of us who have been waiting longer receive attention prior to those who have applied later. We want USCIS to be accountable to us, its paying customers.
We request you to lend us your ear and address these issues so that we are not subjected to them in the future. Kindly note that there remain roughly 15 days until the October 2008 visa bulletin goes into affect. Once October arrives, the dates for Indian EB2 candidates retrogress to 2003. We believe you have the power to help a few more of us who have been waiting, seemingly endlessly, to get out of this immigration limbo.
Thanking you,
I really appreciate your initiative in drafting this letter.Please let us know, how each one of us could contribute . Whom should the faxes/emails/pamplets be sent.

I think that the IV core is aware of this campaign. They are not against it, as far as I understand, though obviously, there is no direct endorsement from them either.
I think this is a great idea to get media attention - something different and unique, and media always loves these things. The only thing that can doom it to failure is lack of enough numbers.
If we go and tell a journalist about this campaign, the first question we will be asked is, "how many flowers are you talking about?" and if our answer would 50 or 100, then the story dies right there. 250,000 affected skilled immigrants and only 100 of them are enthu enough to send flowers - well that's no story :rolleyes:.
So the only thing I can say is that at worst, this action will do you no harm and you will be out of 30-40 dollars. But at best, this can give us a media spotlight - and I think it is worth it.
Well no one wants to spend $20 to contribute to IV but ready $30 for flowers and post it to Gonzalez :)
The idea that core wants to float is to have an effective campaign under the IV umbrella. Please come up with more innovative ideas and discuss with core.

I would suggest you ask your father to file a writ petition in High Court or Lower Court , my husband did the same for a minor change in his father's middle name.I presume you are indian and Indian authorities have not changed they require a beat down in court then only they work that's my firm belief. In our case it was a simple case my father in laws middle name was misspelt, we had all the evidence they required
school leaving,college leaving,birth certificate,PAN card.
Passport of my father in law where my husband travelled as minor.
Plus we got a letter from District Magistrate/Collector
But still Washington embassy would not budge or entertain our application saying this mistake was not by them and i approach passport authorities in india who had done this .
Finally my husband had enough and my father in law filed a petition in Lower court ,it took a couple of months to get the facts straight ,but it was quicker than we expected. Got a court order attched to application got the correction done.
the problem is we dont approach the law thinking it is headache but the fact is that the issues was not corrected at the right time so we will have get the facts verified by someone credible and who better than law to verify.
And the plus is that no one can refuse your appication and give u the run around ( that you are facing now get this doc get that doc)
as if the consulate does not follow the order it is contempt of court or they can file an appeal against the order . My suggestion would be to go thru courts because the procedures for changes are not crystal clear
but my case is different as i dont have any spe;lings or wrong name.
i need my name to be split in to first name and last name.

Your posts are getting very irritating with this blind belief in this "Unitednations" fellow. Why do you believe in him so much? What has he done?
People in this forum are about 1.5 years behind in the understanding of retrogression (all of these issues have been dissected, diseminated, corroborated, etc.); how the law works; what visa bulletin said in November 2005. dissecting numbers, etc.
There is much deeper understanding of this on immigration.com since it has been going on for a while. Chandu is a member there and has been following it and participating on it.
I would think something as important as this; one would research it to death and get all possible statistics on it. All these things have already been laid out in great detail very long ago.
Don't know why you are irritated??? Maybe you should research it with the law and the various statistics by uscis, dol, dos and see what conclusions you can come up with.

According to a specialist on immigration forums "Mr UnitedNations" the unused visas are directly being used for EB3 ROW , I am not how he knows that but maybe thats what is happening.
Maybe EB3 ROW being a diverse group is being given more precendence than highly subscribed countries.
This information was there on a visa bulletin. This is not a guess but a confirmed fact.

What US will do is also non-deterministic. To gauge it, you can only try to understand the sentiments currently running in politics. Anyway, if you look at the issue I am bringing up, it has the potential to grant everyone their freedom. But maybe I am talking to the wrong person, because you already have your EAD .. well your brains are also welcome in solving the puzzle
US will do what US has to do for the benefit of US. Sentiments do not have any scope here and politics is well politics.
I disagree that there is any potential for freedom for everyone. You are short sighted and looking at a short term scenario. Things never go according to a plan trust an and you are asking me this plan when you yourselves cannot confirm if it will work for everyone.
Yes i have EAD but EB2 will get GC and i will still be stuck on EAD. So the bottom line is GC and in that EB2 has everything sewed up. Now why would EB2 need additional 50 K visas. They should be allocated from bottom to top approach

Visa number is only "assigned" after all kinds of review and background checks are done. This is by far the last step in the wayward journey.
In other words your LPR status is registered only when the visa number is received from DoS. So pre-assigning of visa numbers while review continuing in the background is simply not possible !
Bottom line is getting VISA number assigned to file when current, and let them complete review at later time, once File has VISA number then its ready to for approval.
