Reverting back to the original interpretation for allocating unused visa from other category and to oversubscribed country from the current new interpretation seems to be the only possible quick relief to EB3, though EB2 gets affected it is not going to be that severe.
**** Not sure, what is core IV's stand on this. Have not seen any update from core with regards to this ***
If we can approach the USCIS /DOS for Admin fix in this area, this should be possible, given that IV already has some success in the Admin Fix area. But seeing the lack of response from core IV for this particular thread (Overall they do a good job) regarding spill over, visa allocation, makes me this, core IV is not thinking there is an error with the new interpretation or IV was one of the main source that was instrumental for this change. The new spillover helps only India (EB2) looking at the number of pending cases from China and ROW. China hardly has less than 1000 cases prior to Mar '05 PD for EB2.
I'm not sure what happened to fellow EB3 ROW members... These folks at least will be current soon.. and India / China cutoff date will move the later PD very soon.
Comment plz... I would like to see what ROW member thinks... along with folks from oversubscribed countries
The title of the thread is misleading.
IV is already helping. The aim of IV is to eliminate retrogression so that everyone does not have to wait. We also understand that EB3 I is in a much greater mess than anyone else.
Good to see a response from Pappu. I genuinely understand IV is working for a relief for the entire EB Community and not biased for a specific category or to people from a specific country. But would it not be justified, If IV also address any specific issue that is causing severely pain to a specific groups of people and affects them negatively , along side with the core goals IV is working on.
Does IV think that changes made to the interpretation to the VISA allocation a good change and does IV also share the concern of few folks posting in this thread.
I think the lack of more active participation from EB3 members is due to the fact, is lack of confidence anything is going to change.
I do know, couple colleagues, who were not able to file 485 during July fiasco due to their labor approval after July '07 and missed filing 485 with PD's 03 /04 all in EB3 and I do feel for people like them as well.
Give the political climate / economic climate, anything through congress seems like it will at least couple years, admin fix might provide some benefits to folks really waiting with PD 01 / 03 at least.... Just my 2 cents.
Having said this, I do support IV's effort now and will do in future as well.

Since its a PD portability case, probably no PD is written on the receipt. It might be to be determined.
I'm not sure if you can file your 485 as well - dont see a reason why not. But one thing you can do to have better sleep at night :-), is to upgrade your 140 to Premium processing. If you get it done tomorrow, you will have an answer and portability of PD by end of this month. Then you know for sure where you stand.

I hold a H4 visa and my employer had applied for my H4 to H1 conversion in this cap. i have not yet got any receipt number from the USCIS. My question is that if I get the approval notice itself I will be able to work or I should wait till Oct 2007?
Any help appreciated.

My husband and I are both on H1 now. My H1 will not expire until 2009 but I plan to quit my job and transfer to H4 for family reasons. Suppose I quit from H1 on June 1, 2007, what is the best time for me to file I539 to transfer to H4? Do I need to file right now or just anytime before June 1?
Another question is that if I quit H1 on June 1, but the change of status to H4 will not be approved until later, say, September 1, 2007, what will be my visa status between those time? Will I be considered out-of-status?
Thanks for your help!

Frankly, the chances of getting an EB-2 I-140 approved with your educational background are very bleak to say the least. However, there are always exceptions and I hope you get lucky. Good luck, atleast your employer tried.
I agree the qualifications don't seem strong but shouldn't that have been caught at the labor stage?? or is it at the 140 that they check the educational background??

Does anybody know any link that gives online status of PERM labor ? I heard that there is one for employers but not for employee.
No you cannot do this, just the Employer and Lawyer can do this. My Employer gives me the login password, perhaps you can ask the Employer to make for you a sub-account, or to give you the Login Dates.

That brings up a good qn.....Is there going to be any "official" proclamation of the death of CIR, if and when that happens?
Or is that supposed to be implied when everyone stops talking about it.

Nebraska Democratic Sen. Ben Nelson told the Omaha World Herald newspaper that there has been talk that House and Senate negotiators will not even meet to work out their differences, which would doom passage of immigration legislation before the November mid-term elections.
Bush has stressed both sides must be willing to compromise. As an example, he said Congress should decide whether to reduce the number of "green cards" issued to permanent legal residents if there are too many immigrants.
Bush lost a debate last year to overhaul the Social Security benefits system, despite traveling the country holding campaign-like rallies. His efforts in the immigration debate are beginning to look like a similar national campaign with stops in Texas and New Mexico on Tuesday.
Trying to nudge immigrants into learning English and assimilating into U.S. culture, Bush dropped in on a U.S. history and civics class for immigrants at the Catholic Charities Juan Diego Center.
Getting into the spirit of the class, he asked students which presidents had sons follow them into the White House, then answered in Spanish.
He and his father, Bush said, and John Adams and his son, "Juan Q." Adams.

If USCIS is planning on using up all 40K by July 2, and not accepting applications why would they put out a memo like this?

USCIS to Suspend Premium Processing for All I-140 Petitions Beginning July 2
06/28/2007
In a press release issued today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that it will impose a temporary suspension of premium processing services for all Form I-140 immigrant worker petitions from July 2, 2007 to August 1, 2007. Premium services are being suspended because USCIS expects a surge of I-140 filings beginning on July 2, when immigrant visa priority dates become current for nearly all employment-based categories. The agency anticipates that, due to the high volume of filings, it will be unable to meet the 15-day processing goal of the service.
During the 30-day period, USCIS plans to review its decision to halt premium processing of I-140s, and could extend the suspension beyond August 1 if, due to its workload, the agency remains unable to guarantee 15-day processing. Note that premium processing services are currently suspended for I-140 petitions for which a labor certification substitution is being requested, pursuant to a new Department of Labor (DOL) regulation that prohibits substitution of labor certification beneficiaries beginning July 16, 2007.
