Caliber, we are seeing a totally hopeless situation. Especially people with later PDs in EB3-I category.
The CIS official had clearly said that EB3-I pending will be in decades unless some changes are made to the immigration laws. Seeing the way the health care bill is going, none of the EB3 folks are seeing any hope for CIR.
You are 100% right. IV Core also got wrong data from CIS. Core is following up with the CIS. But as you said, EB3-I will not get any spill overs. There are 45K EB3-I's and we see hardly 100-200 in this forum. We need many people and I feel still people do not realize the grave situation.

Having to wait 10 years for mere permanent resident status in a country in itself is ridiculous, compared to processing times in countries such as Canada, and Australia.
If anything, the period should be much shorter - about 3-5 years from entry as H1B (or any other work visa).
It's critical that the time start from date of entry with a work visa - not filing of labor certification/I-140/I-485. Many folks may have had to change jobs multiple times (for example, during and after the .COM bust) and the process would've restarted each time.

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?

You mentioned Stimulus package and ITIN issue, as I remember people with spouses having ITIN didn't get any rebate...
That is for the 2008 stimulus. They were going to do the same in 2009, but it was reversed at the last minute. I am sorry I could not get the 2008 stimulus overturned. The best we were able to do was the HEART Act, which only helps those who are active military. However, the 2009 stimulus is available for everyone. This time it is not a one time payment, but you will see a small increase in your monthly paycheck.

Bill Text - 112th Congress (2011-2012) - THOMAS (Library of Congress) (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.43:)
That link has the complete text. Relatively simple text. Includes those who have completed degree in last 5 years or those who have resided in the US since obtaining a degree.
Only one constrain. Requires that "will substantially benefit prospectively the national economy of the United States". The second part is something which is fuzzy and not sure how USCIS will interpret it. They might apply the logic of EB2-NIW. However, in either case, it is adding numbers of EB categories and hopefully rest of the bill is allowing for these numbers to fall across and down.

I think BPC and new case PERM is same, if it is same position then employer has to withdraw the first case as of DOL new FAQ, if it different position then shouldn't have to withdraw the case, possibly audited by the DOL as of above explained rule..... If the case is audited how long it usually take DOL to decide,
For 2nd Case should we file by mail, providing certain reason with the application?

Canadians don't have as many problems as Indians, but a broken system doesn't work for anyone. I know of Canadians who are also very frustrated with the system, myself included.
Very quick response.. good. You are trying to do a good job.
You missed two points:
Can you please update your profile.
And you said "As some of you know...." . Were you trying in these lines before too. Can you direct me to any one of your forums more than 2 months old where we can see what you did before.
Trust me, in the past we knew of some guys who tried to distract the forum attention with proposals of doing somethings in the lines as you have said. Their goal is to distract and divert attention.
Not that we do not trust you, but we expect you have atleast your profile updated.
What do you do, when you come across someone who says I can get you a big job done for you, as I have contacts.. Not blindly trust, right.. We also check he his credentials. I am to some extent doing that, to be frank, not that everyone has profiles here with real information.
I told about you to my friends, and they asked me "Why do we trust him, dont you think he may be a Canadian who is trying to distract these innocent Indians and hence make sure they remain in backlogs"...

Every EB applicant knows these basic information.
I was just getting more information on EB3 India on the net.And found an interesting blog(It makes sense to me and that why i am posting this thread)
http://skilledimmigrants.blogspot.com/2006/12/retrogression-math-for-dummies-eb3.html
Its a 2006 blog , but it makes sense even today for EB3 India
Finally that's when you switch on your calculator and start working with the numbers. There are 140,000 visa numbers available under all the employment based categories, with 7% per country limit and 28.6% allocated for EB3 and dependents counted into the numbers, there are only about 115 EB3 primary applicants allowed from India per month. Throw in a few thousand illegals(amnesty) into the mix and now you have the royal screw-up as is happening now. The law allows visa numbers from unused countries to be transferred to the oversubscribed countries but with nearly every category retrogressed this law won't apply for a while.
The future looks toooo dark even to mention.

What's so immoral about sending them to their home country without splitting families? We are not putting them in prison/guantanamo. The first amnesty was a big mistake and not justifiable. C'mon 8 billion is a expensive? Illegals cost California 10.5 billion a year in welfare, stamps, education...
There have been a number of publications that have shown that the vast majority of the "illegal" immigrants actually pay SS and Medicare taxes. They also contribute to federal and state tax regardless of the benefit that they receive from it. (Some of these publications have been presented in Congress over the years). What some of the right wing folks (like Lou Dobbs) say is that they are sucking the system dry. That is very debatable. The fact that they can only avail of emergency medical care is the fault of the system here in the US.
"That would reduce the incentive to illegally migrate here."
tough punishments and deportation would discourage every one
Not sure if you are aware that a majority of the farmers especially in the South are willing to hire American workers but have had no success. The only thing that the US DOL have managed to confirm is that there is a shortage of workers. Can some of those be filled by American workers? Sure some but not all. Its just that lots of them don't want to fill those positions for various reasons. An American I met a few days ago was telling me about how he was unemployed for almost 3 years. He is a well educated person and didn't think it made sense for him to find low-skilled labor!
"I am more optimistic for something positive to happen with Republicans at the helm than the Democrats coz to take a positive step, you have to be clear on your position. With an unprecedented majority, the Dems could not accomplish anything with regards to Immigration. All they came up with phony legislations, just to keep the carrot dangling."
Agreed. I still fail to understand how a change in medical insurance can boost the economy or improve unemployment.
The reason there has been this huge push for health care reform is that it becoming a huge drain on the system. About 60% of bankruptcies in the US were due to medical bills. You and I might be lucky that we are healthy and employer paid insurance. Millions don't have that benefit. Also consider that some people couldn't buy insurance because they had hit a "lifetime limit"! So if someone has cancer (which I might tell you is frightfully expensive to treat), and then had a relapse, you could very well hit that lifetime limit. So once you retire, you would have no recourse. Also remember that health care was declared a human right by the United Nations. (see the UNDHR Article 25)
Interestingly this is the number one search result on Google for "Bill for Legal immigration"
Might well make the most of it!
I agree that the immigration system here is a violation of civil rights because we, too, like the "illegals" contribute to a system that we cannot benefit from anytime soon. (Like social security and Medicare). We do need to push legislators to come up with a good immigration policy. Bashing another immigrant because they came here to do something different from you is not going to get us very far. Be compassionate towards those people too. They too contribute positively in a very different way to society here in the US.
