As dates will remain current for a while, and when dates retrogress - my take is they may not retrogress to a degree where backlogged applications are dated. So as approvals keep coming out of BECs the PDs of those backlogged till now may be eligible for filing 485.
This is my take. I write this because I understand your frustrations. The game is not over - I have a feeling that a lot of people will be on EAD status for a while
All those who are still waiting in BEC black hole, I feel for you. I was stuck in BEC for four years. Only managed to get out a couple of months ago after they allowed TR cases to be converted to RIR.
I tend to think the same way as chanduv23. Our final goal is a Green card, and it may still turn out that the people who are currently still waiting in BEC may end up getting their GC in hand before many of the ones that can apply for 485 in July.
The reason is that USCIS has clearly stated that it will retrogress big time in September. So, people with recent PDs may get to file their 485 but may have to wait for a long time for their PD to become current again to get the approval notice (folks, I am not wishing ill against any group here! I wish we all got our GCs ASAP. But since that is not going to happen, just trying to analyze facts). On the other hand, if BEC comes through with their sep 07 prediction, then these people with much older PDs may be able to apply for their 140/485 at that time and may end up getting their GC 6-12 months later because their PDs will still be current at the time of approval (Of course, this is assuming that they will not get caught in the Name Check Black hole)
So, all those who are still stuck in BEC, please hang in there, your day of freedom will arrive (maybe sooner than you are currently thinking).

I have received messages from people who have been here around 10 years without a GC. I wonder how common this is. What do you think about proposing a "fast track" for people who have been here legally for more than a certain amount of time?
totoro ..Very good initiative.
My situation is like this.
I am here in usa for the past 10 years.my I140 got denied last year and the MTR wait time is 20months. The RFE before denial was "ability to pay" . Even after producing all the documents requested by USCIS the I-140 got denied.
I started my GC process again by joining other company but Since My I140 is denied I am in the queue again from the first step the labor process, losing , sept2002 -EB2 priority date.
The get the status of MTR we need to wait for 20 months. 13 months more for me.
1.If you are able to get fast track for MTR s for I140, that is great.Justice delayed is justice denied.
2.Is there any way getting the priority date irrespective of I140 status.
3.what about automatic conversion of EB3 into EB2 if the application is at AOS is pending for 3 years.

Let us set a target of 15,000 by the end of May. I think it is doable since we now have more members to take part in it. Could some members help run this campaign and thread?
Also post your innovative ideas you have used to get members.

There are total 78 approvals for EB3-India for this financial Year and now EB3-I is unavailable for rest of the year.
At this pace, it will take hundreds of years for EB3-I backlog to clear. This per country cap and new spill over process is killing EB3-I and there are no hopes.
We must do something. I wrote several letters to Local Senators, Ms Lofgren, Mr. President, Mr. Vice President but nobody offered any help for me.
Now I am ready for hunger strike. Anybody ?

i assume this is for everyone, including citizens. you may want to make the legal part bold in the phrase "legal immigration". immigration automatically raises everyone's eyebrow but you need to emphasize that the fight here is for "legal" immigration. that is a key differentiator especially when nobody knows what the heck EB, priority date etc is.
Use the following as a template to send all your contacts via email!!!!
*not a chain mail. a genuine request to be part of a democratic US bill-making movement* call YOUR Senator and at least one from the list below *
i am writing to you with a rather 'unusual request'. thousands of high skilled legal immigrants (especially from India and China) are stuck for between 5 to 10 years in the 'Green Card' queue with no 'end in sight' due to a broken system. previous attempts by groups like Compete America (www.competeamerica.org (http://www.competeamerica.org)) and Immigration Voice (www.immigrationvoice.org (http://www.immigrationvoice.org)) have been rebuffed by powerful lobbies and special interests.
if you are able to help, know that thousands will thank you. if you are uncomfortable, i will fully understand and seek your forgiveness for this intrusion.
if you know someone that will benefit from legal immigration reform (e.g. graduate students, etc.), do pass this message along. again, this is NOT a fake chain mail. check out www.immigrationvoice.org (http://www.immigrationvoice.org) to see how those forgotten in the immigration queue are trying their best to make their voices heard.
at a minimum, take a few minutes to see these colorful posters that highlight the issues at stake!

if you can do more, please call your Senator and at least one from the list below with the scripted message:
currently, Rep. Zoe Lofgren from California, has introduced a couple of bills that can provide temporary relief to thousands of tax paying high skilled workers.
HR 5921 Introduced to eliminate per country limits
H.R. 5882 introduced to restore approximately 218,000 unused EB visa numbers.
HR 6039 introduced to exempt STEM degree applicants from numerical limits
In addition, the Murray amendment was accepted in Senate Appropriations Committee by voice vote today.
"OK, enough of that mumbo jumbo" I hear you say :), "what can I do?"
Tell them that you would like to talk to some one who handles immigration/legal matters, If forwarded to voice mail, leave a VM. If the VM is full, you can get back to the main line by pressing 0 and then leave a message with them.
The message you have to deliver when calling these offices is
I would like Representative "Representative Name" to co sponsor bills HR 5882, HR 5921 & HR 6039 sponsored by Zoe Lofgren. All three bills have wide bipartisan support in the house and will help reduce the back logs associated with USCIS. These bills are a great first step towards immigration reform.
DO NOT GET INTO THE LEGAL/ILLEGAL DISCUSSION WITH STAFF MEMBERS
Only if the staff member bring up the issue of CIR, in that case say that -
In the past we have been supporting Comprehensive approach and still continue to support comprehensive approach and we look for our our main issues to be addressed whenever comprehensive bill is passed. However, this is is just an interim fix to begin or start the immigration reform process.

She has a valid dependant visa till May 2008
Based on new rule, she applied to reclaim 3 years of H4 for H1-B.
H1-B is approved, she is going to Chennai, India for stamping.
If for some reason H1 is denied, can she come back as dependant?

There are too many assumptions here. How I see this situation is;
EB3 I will not move significantly unless and until oversubscribed EB2s become current. Even then, it cannot be taken as granted because the demand of EB2s can take all the spill over and be current without spilling to EB3. USCIS will eventually make the change once they see that EB3 has significant retrogression and there is a lot of noise made about it.
The solution I see is; we can make a valid presentation showing the effects of this spillover change in the long run and how EB3s will be affected seriously.
This is my take on spill over interpretation and please dont feel bad if you do not like it. Lets take it this way assume we have 40K extra visa # from EB1 and ROW categories that need to be spilled over to ICPM countries. Now you have two options
1) Spill it by PD. Which helps EB3 (I)
2) Spill it by category which helps EB2 (I) & EB2(C)
If you look at numbers EB3 I # are huge so inspite of pumping 40K into it the numbers barely inch forward. We have seen this all the way till 2007. Where as in just 2 years of spillover EB2 I has moved into 2005 with prediction of becoming current in 2-3 years.
Now if I was USCIS director and going to Senate hearing. What would I like to tell them that I have used all visa # and EB2 & EB3 are severly backlogged. Or should I say I used up all visa # and now EB1 & Eb2 are current and we have backlogs in only Eb3 category.
Just that I feel USCIS can claim more bang for buck when they spill in EB2. (just my theory not justyfying it). Also I feel Eb2 is used by large US corporations for its H1 employees especially STEM graduates working. Example Intel, Texas Instruments, Microsoft etc also large financial companies especially for employees on business side (not IT employees). There is pressure from these companies since they do not want to lose some one with business knowledge because of immigrations rules. Just look at how many times Bill Gates has shown up on Senate floor to pitch for EB immigration reform. If you make EB2 current you can shut him up since most Micro Soft employees are under Eb2 category. That way you are effectively muting the critisism againt you on senate floor.
This way USCIS can also keep these people happy since they can claim that EB2 which translates as Exceptional Ability and Advanced Degrees are now close to current. The only catch is consulting companies and outsourcing companies have sneaked large number of people into Eb2 and they have become lucky.

US IMMIGRATION CLIENT ALERT

Employment-Based Immigrant Visa Numbers
May Become Unavailable Sooner Than Expected
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
It has been reported that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has indicated that employment-based numbers may be exhausted sooner than expected and could become unavailable or subject to new retrogression during the month of July. USCIS reportedly has sufficient numbers of immigrant cases in its adjudications pipeline to meet the reported 40,000 employment-based visa numbers that remain for Fiscal Year (FY) 2007. If employment-based numbers become unavailable in mid-month, USCIS could cease accepting applications for adjustment of status before the end of the July, though it is not yet possible to predict when this could occur.
It has been reported and unofficially confirmed by FRAGOMEN that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has indicated that employment-based immigrant visa numbers may be exhausted sooner than expected and could become unavailable or subject to new retrogression during the course of the month of July. This would be contrary to information in the July Visa Bulletin issued by the Department of State, which stated projected availability through the month of July.
Agency representatives have reportedly stated that USCIS has sufficient numbers of employment-based immigrant cases that are ready to be approved and counted against the estimated 40,000 employment-based numbers that remain for Fiscal Year (FY) 2007. USCIS has not officially confirmed these reports. Our understanding is that discussions on the issue of visa availability have been escalated to a high level in the government and we will continue to seek definitive information.
There has been speculation that a change in anticipated demand may be the result of inaccurate projections by the government about the number of employment-based cases that are both ready for approval and have completed security checks.
If employment-based numbers become unavailable, it is likely that USCIS would stop accepting applications for adjustment of status, regardless of the information contained in the July Visa Bulletin. It is also possible that the State Department could release a Supplemental Visa Bulletin that updates its forecasts of visa availability. Though it is possible that USCIS would continue to accept adjustment applications through July despite visa unavailability, this appears to be unlikely.
As previously mentioned, it is our understanding that discussions are underway both within USCIS and between USCIS and the Department of State, and FRAGOMEN continue to seek more definitive information. We will issue additional Client Alerts as new information becomes available. If you have any questions about this Client Alert, please contact your designated FRAGOMEN professional.
