Thankyou
Hi folks, just as predicted, my email thread to select contacts resulted in one outright racist response. i dont want this group to get distracted or distressed if you too get such responses. take a look at the original note below and my response. remain brave. remain strong. this is a LEGAL immigration process in the US economic interest too.
hopefully people will begin to realize that anti-legal-immigration is just a facade for deep rooted racism.
Best.
A SELF AVOWED RACIST RESPONSE from A PERSONAL CONTACT
I have to let you know that not only will I not support this bill, but I am vehemently against the legal immigration of workers that are originally brought here to usurp positions that would have otherwise been held by skilled Americans. I agree that this is a racist and exclusionary position, but I also know many people who can no longer get work at the level they deserve due to the displacement they have experienced as a result of this foreign worker influx.
Please remove me from any future posts regarding this or related issues.
MY RESPONSE
i know how the native americans must have felt when the pilgrims landed... oh that darned foreign influx.
i will not dignify your self avowed racism with the erudition of economics, capitalism, innovation, globalization, human rights or the rich history of the united states as a melting pot of cultures ... all of which are underpinning factors that are in the long term US economic interests in high skilled LEGAL immigration. of course, these tend to be conveniently ignored on the altar of superficial sentiment, myopic protectionism and deep-rooted xenophobia.
it would be best that we not be on each others' personal contacts or have any future interaction at all.

EB3I dates never really crossed 2001 after the JUL 07 drama which screwed all EB3 in my opinion.
1) USCIS never looked at those cases which got ported out. So if they try to process cases in 2002 they might end up finding lesser cases needing approval than they actually counted, could be bcoz of porting or people who gave up and left the country. USCIS is auto porting the date if you have old labor and i140, I know few friends who got GC like that.
2) At this pace EB2 will be current by mid next year, once it is processing time for 485 is at least 4 months which will fall into 2012, so the same huge number of spill will come to EB3 ROW. If the spill over is too much USCIS may consider spilling it to worst retrogressed countries.
-ve aspect: If USCIS starts doing quarterly spill over this may not happen. So as per my logic USCIS will start doing quarterly spill soon.
3) The as&***s who decided to change the spill to vertical might get bitten by a mad donkey or a dog and might change it back to the old model. I don't see any &&)) why all the spill has to go vertically from 2007, bcoz we irritated USICS or DOS by kissing their weak spots.
4) As per my Karma or belief model whatever IV does, hurts EB3 more. I don't think any admin fix will fix the vertical spill or recapture.
Good luck EB3 i guys and try to keep ur frustration levels to LOW.
Thanks for the advice but your points have too much of optimism. Once Eb2-I reaches July-07, depending on how many months they open it up, we'll see a flood of EB2 applications again. And no one with sane mind is going to file EB3, we'll only see EB2 in most cases. Also everyone whoz waiting to file 485 now have got enough US experience to be eligible for EB2. I doubt, even with spillover, if EB2-I will become current even by 2014.
EB2 are more skilled by definition than EB3, and hence the priority for EB2. When we all applied under EB3 (or erred by attorneys), we knowingly filed under EB3. Simple.
Solution: 1) Wait 2) Port over to EB2 if possible 3) Just don't care, live your life in peace.

I am sure you would get that as well...and pretty soon. it would help though to not focus on the gc too much as who is getting earlier or later and how randomly USCIS look at things. It's better not spend our energies on something that we don;t control ..but focus on things we do or can..my 2 cents.

Their silence also indicates that they may move date substantially (as they dont lose anything by moving forward as all 485 are filed).
its not that simple (otherwise they can make everything C and be done with it). The PD is defined as the last application they could not approve because there is no visa number to assign to that applicant.
THere was a nice description of teh whole process in some earlier thread: they get visa numbers in chunks from DOS. They ask for them as they need them, and there is also some per-month, per-quarter rationing that goes on. Based on that they pick up and approve applications and keep using up visa numbers. They are supposed to pick up applications in order of PD, but do so in a mix of PD/RD. When they get to an applicant who is otherwise approved but they are out of visa numbers for this month, they pick the following 1st, 8th, 15th or 22nd as the cutoff date.
Dates are most likely not moving because:
- they have reassigned everyone to do receipting (as they mentioned in their FAQ)
- some dates in current VB (esp for EB3) have been pushed so far back, that they probably dont have readily approvable applications (preadjudicated)
- they are waiting for a complete tally of July VB filings to get an idea of how to move the dates

I will reach out to the admins and see if they can provide some templates. By the way, we could use one of the other (issues) templates that were floating around a couple months back. Not sure if they are still there.
I think that we all should send the letter individually. Why? Because the if each one of us will send, it will look genuine and will remind the DoL each time/day they get a letter. We have 50 some people, 50 letters will make them look into it.
P.S: good job in finding the plan, its about time that we do something, I dont think any more people are going to come.

Raising $300 or $500 per membership is a very reasonable amount. If you try to join some other Running Teams, you will have to raise in excess of $3,500 in 1 year. And the only distance you can complete is a marathon.
I have run over 12 half marathons, 6 races in excess of 13.1 miles and 1 marathon and I learn't that a marathon is not for everyone - that is why we have included distances like 5K and 10 miles in our event list. This is a great opportunity to pursue a healthy lifestyle and in the process support IV's long term lobbying efforts. Lets not forget what IV has accomplished for us in the past 12 months (resolving the July 2 Fiasco, Multiple Year EAD).
This is an earnest call to all walkers, runners and supporters of IV. Come join Team IV!!:)
We are slowly building up our membership this week, and I am very thankful for those who support this initiative and those of you who have already joined up, we still have quite a ways to go to reach our goal of 150 members. Help us support IV.
Please also invite your friends who are not members of IV, to join us. Please have them e-mail me at TeamIV@yahoo.com so that I can e-mail them the Team IV Membership Form.

Hi,
I have an California EB2 RIR LC app pending with backlog center with PD of March 2005. My 6 years of H1B are over and am an Indian citizen.
Is it a good idea to convert this application to PERM - my company lawyers say that there is a risk in that if the application is rejected, there is no back-up + it can take upto 8 months to process under PERM due to the conversion.
Best Wishes

Hi!
We are in the process of filing a h1 extension for my husband using H1/H4 decoupling rule. He worked here on H1 for 5 years 5 months. According to which he will have 7months of H1 time and that will be 9.5 months including vacation time spent outside the country while on H1. Today we talked toa recruiter while reviewing the documents he mentioned that when we applied for change of status for him from h1 to H4 it took 4 months for the H4 approval to come through, those 4.5 months he is in a pending status. He is not sure if we can use that time for the H1 extension we want to file now. If we cannot use that time then he is left with another 4 months time of H1
Does anyone know if we can use the time spent in pending status for filing
H1?
Any help in this matter is appreciated. I'm also looking to find recruiters who can file GC for future employers as My husband has very less time before his 6yrs are over I want to file for his LC and then get I-140 approved based on which we can extend his H1 beyond 6years.

(1) I found a unique way to cope with the stress of our immigration nightmare.
through Day trading??
(2) It is not easy and it is not for the weak hearted but the rewards are wholesome and tremendous.
(3) Now lets Play !!!!!
Have you just tried to sell Day trading to IVians?? LMAO. I am sorry but I disagree that Day trading is an investment. Day trading is risky business and one needs plush amounts of cash as SIPC/SEC will not release the money on the same day. Don't even get me started on the margin accounts.
I agree with (2) and would also like to point out that the risks are also substantial. One can get addicted to day trading and I dont need to tell what addiction can do to any one. It needs time during work hours. ie 9 30 am and 4 30 pm. A lot of people did day trading during the dot com boom and recently with FRE & FNM. We know the results.
While you might have taken refuge in day trading for the stress immigration has caused, it can be a serious double whammy/nightmare if the calculations go wrong.
All said, if you feel that there is enough money to be made and normal Joe Bloggs can cope up with the pressure, please share your thoughts in detail.

........... Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
There will be a few lucky ones indeed. Those who get I-485 cleared within 3 - 4 months. But retrogression will kick in ( as applications get approved ) and the PD of 2003,2004 etc will become valuable.

Your wife may file for H4 without a lawyer. It costs $250 and I did it once. No issues at all, very simple and straight forward form / procedure.
Although not necessary to file H4 transfer )as this is not linked to employer directly but rather the H1 holder), it may become important when you leave US for visit home.
