This has become a ranting thread of EB3 folks. One simple question:
How many of you EB3 India folks who are complaining actually went to Washingtno DC last month for IV Advocacy event?
I hear it was not even 250 people. If you take out all EB2 people, so few EB3 people. This means EB3 people do not really want to do anything but after every visa bulletin come to the site and rant.
We in EB2 do not have much to worry. Our dates will move fast. But you EB3 had a chance last month and you blew it by not doing anything. So stop complaining.
What makes you think that there were no EB3s at the advocacy event and many of EB3s who did not attend contributed to the cause monetarily.....which apparently seem to be helping BE2. May be you should cut the crap and thank EB3s instead of bitching about it.

Hmmm... humorous stories...
Well there was gsc999 and jazz trying to pull a "room service" gag on Drona and myself, but they went to the wrong room...
... I've heard some pretty hilarious tales about a comedic cab journey with a driver that wouldn't obey, and got some impromptu driving instruction by Logiclife...
... but a lot of the others must stay in DC :)

RFE on EAD for Photographs :05/10
Photos submitted.
EAD Approved on: 05/24
Additionally i received FP, prolly for I-485 its been few years most likely they are expired. not sure what they do with finger prints when they do immigration at the airport. they shud prolly use that..which will save some time and cost for USCIS and pain for us.
njoy the ride..

What USCIS did to the other worker category in June was clearly a violation of Federal regulation (8 CFR Section 245.1(g)) - however since the numbers were insignificant, the violation went unnoticed.
It goes without saying that AILA will file a federal law suit seeking immediate interim relief, if the USCIS does this again...
The repercussions of such a law suit will be worse for the USCIS and very good for the filers. If the judge grants interim relief, that will mean USCIS cannot close the doors until the law suit is settled...USCIS is probably already aware of this possible repercussion and will most certainly avoid this lawsuit situation...
There are an estimated 250,000 (primary) filers expected to take advantage of the July visa bulletin...a number that is hard to go unnoticed...

So much for increase in fee and supposed increase in efficiency!
May be double the fee justifies 'card production ordered' alert twice....
I e-filed renewal EAD on 5/27, had FP on 6/23 and still waiting any followup action.
With every passing day it looks like USCIS is terribly confused on how to go about per recent 2-yr validity :
1. To approve: 2-yr EAD for those who are not current
2. To approve: 1-yr EAD for those who are current and might get GC in a yr
3. to issue GC instead of EAD for those who are current/ripe/ low-hanging-fruits (I-140 approved/cases processed/no problems)
But, this looks like too much ask for USCIS. They are used to do simple things like: approve or deny and approving everyone for a sinlge time duration.
Let us hope for the best and see what happens in the coming week.

Wage verification generally take 3 weeks. After that Advertisements. If your employer is fast enough, he can complete everything in one month. After all advertisements are completed, Job posting need to be done in DOL website and wait for 30 days.
Then you can file in PERM.
I heard labor thru PERM is taking long time now a days.
Can anyone of you please post your feedback/responses about labor delays in PERM.

This has been a posted by a fellow member 5 pages ago.. ARE THEY DIVERTING EB3 NUMBERS to some other categories?
Pappu or someone knowledgeable about backlog..please answer.
EB3 ROW is at Jun 2004. But as per latest USCIS inventory, EB3 ROW pending 485's are around 48,000. Visa numbers available every year for EB3 is approximately 42k. If you deduct the backlogged EB3 countries (4x3000) visa numbers, the total comes down to 30k for EB3 ROW. So EB3 ROW should become current or atleast Jul 07 in another 1.5 years. If this is not going to happen, it means they are diverting the EB3 numbers to some other categories.
my 2 cents
Note : If EB3 ROW has 30k visas per year and pending EB3 ROW 485's are only 50k.. why it is still hanging in 2004. God only knows !!

Thanks Mark for your posting
Please do not get me wrong, I fully support the work IV does and the need for more visa numbers, backlogs, errors etc., and would like to help iv in any way I can, as I sure others who's children have aged out do too but we are desperate and crying out for help with no one to turn to. If you need me to attend any meetings in Florida on behalf of IV, please let me know
So if you can suggest any pointers where we could raise the work of iv and awareness to the need for compassionate age out cases to be approved that would be great
I do appreciate iv cannot diversify or ask for too much otherwise nobody will gain anything. Just a mom airing her anger, upset and frustration of having to sue the USCIS to be reunited with my one son who has aged out

Going by the discussions over there (http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/6/18/22435/0365), my gut feeling is all PERM cases will be reviewed, in one form or other.

Dude...If you worry about everything that you see on youtube...I feel sorry for you.
It should come as no surprise that there is an anti-H1/EB visa lobby, primarily led by programmers guild. These are basically nit wits who think just because they know where the F1 key is they can be programmers. They also believe that its their god given right to have a 100K job. When they see their world view decapitate in the new economy, they get restless and climb on top of buildings and start shouting. It has happened in the 80's against the Japanese, and it’s happening again against Indians & Chinese.
If history is any guide, US is better off now than it was in 80's and I strongly believe US will be better/richer in the next 20 years as well.

That was informative.
The wild cards are still the LC substitutions and EB2 to EB3 conversions. Even if a lot of people had to go back to India, is there any estimate on how many of these LC approvals were later sold by the bodyshoppers? Depending on the extent of LC substitution frauds (from what I hear it was rampant) all the calculations and estimates could get completely thrown off. I agree that we should wait for another 2-3 months for the dust to settle. Even the USCIS/DOS should have a good idea of how many cases there are and that will help them control the flow better and that should reflect in the visa bulletins.
Oh Ya, in 2003-4, tons of "Virual Shops" were doing good business and that was covering coast to coast. And that's the problem, you can't tag the numbers to the effect of misdeeds, events bad or good. There was lot of talk aboout Indians going back but you would not find a single legitimate statistical article. but that does not mean we should not count the effect of that event. This mess is so severe, we just can not reasonabley predict based on available statistical data because so many events happened for which nobody has proper statistical data and so you can't tag its counter effects. I give you just recent example of this forum. Here one member Yadabada was just debating based on very logical set and he took the pain to go through all past damn bulletins showing me 2003 bulletins. I draw his attention that "India" was completing missing from the bulletins as "OverSubscribed" categories for most of the year 2003. Why? Now when you start analyzing this in 2007 and if you miss this important observation you start making your prediction base in diverted direction. Even in year 2003 nobody gave it a importance (AILA or whatever). USCIS has as apolicy put India,China,Mexico and Phillipines as "Oversubscribed" categories. Now if you think logically either particular country should have "Current" or some retrogressed date. But how do you interpret a bulletin if USCIS (Allaudin's Chirag) just make one country completely disappeared from the bulletin. Lateral interpretation could be "That country is no more "Oversubscribed" so why the hell it should not be "Current" if not "oversubscribed". USCIS plays this trick time to time. If you see bulletins from 1995, some time you will find China disappeared soem time India disappeared.
The reality is that people started taking bulletins seriously from 2005 only. till 2004 most of us were not giving a damn to those and that is why 2001-2004 lot is paying the price as well.If the cry what we have seen during July 2007, might have been seen during 2003, I guess, probably things may have been little better.

I am reading this article for a while and wondering what heck is going on. There is not a question of buying vs renting . This has nothing to do with the quality of life .
We all know every one would love to own a house. But everyone can not dare to become owner in this country.
1) Home prices are still unreachable
2) H1B/EAD/485 - No surity of Duration in USA
3) Not enough money to buy ,alternative is to rent (we have to get shelter somewhere)
4) Job location is not fixed
Buying is not easy for everyone. When we buy some item which we can afford to lose then buying is very easy . Like we buy Iphone etc after too much reasearch but the price is so little , we always forget about this purchase after week time. Even we broke or loose iphone we do not care after few months.
If we have enough money we can buy ---Buying/shopping is a fun if we have money .
If I will have extra few money , I will go have a dinner with Aishwarya ,that is also a Fun ,
but going for dining at cheap restaurant as well ,knowing that you do not have money to repay is not a fun.
But buying/shopping with debt is not a fun we have to plan very carefully.
As said it is fun ,It is individual choice to buy or rent . All depends upon circumstances.
If your circumstances are favourable owning a home is a fun and I am sure every one wants to have some kind of fixed address to go.
GC or no GC - Irrelevant question.
Buying is habbit. It is good and very funny if you have lot of money . It is very Bad if you do not have enough. At somepoint you have to stop buying (in other words no one lend you).
So guys enjoy life .If you can afford buy house even buy million bug dog no question asked . Plan carefully when you have to buy by means of Loan. If yoy think you are in better position to repay go for buying necessary part of life like house. If you 100% sure that million bug doggy is not going to put any whole in you pocket ,go for it guys....
