Got the emails of "card production ordered" for both me and my wife today. A wait of 11 years came to an end.
Congrats. Did you do anything special - SR, Senator office, Infopass?

I am not really sure how this will help people in the queue ?!? The people waiting forever and in need of most help are ones from 2002, 03 etc. This provision gives away GC's to recent grads (some who may not have even applied for GC yet !) while so many from a decade ago desperately have to wait for infinity.
This Bill will help ALL people, not only the people who have an advanced degree from US!. With the addtion 55k, the people who have an advanced degree will get the green card immediately. Then, they will be out of the queue. Then all the existing anual visa quato will be allocated to the guys who don't have the advanced degree. This is a great bill for all EB forks. If this bill can be passed, the EB2 will be current . and EB3 will be current in two years. some people just didn't get it.

I have applied for the OCI card for my kids in May 2010 and we still have not heard anything - how long does it take to approve the OCI cards? Thanks

Offcourse, you have only 8 posts in this forum and very much junior to this community.
Having 8 post or 800 should not count for seniority. we should be able to ask ourselves how much productive contribution we have towards this forum instead of how much contribution we have to this forum. QUALITY is what that matters more than QUANTITY.
Just my thoughts.

to put numbers to your guess, I am guessing roughly even at an optimistic approach, 1000 applications from EB3-I from 2002 may have ported to eb2 or left the country and nothing more than. Why not we do these guys. just a IV sampling poll. Lets create a poll for IV members alone, for eb3-I alone. Lets give all the 12 months as option, and people can update. We can atleast know how many cases are waiting in eb3-I from IV alone for the year 2002. What say you guys? any one wants to take up the initiative? We can also Add an option additionally for 2003 cases and so forth as one option. Our goal is to find how many of us here in IV are waiting with 2002 PD for eb3-I.
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.
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.

Now this is what is going to happen.
Because DOS and USCIS screwed up big time playing loosely with laws and expecting no reprisals for their actions, they will now beg/borrow for the lost visa numbers and make them available for July filers.
I see no escape route for the mess up. Rice, who did not pay any attention to this fisco gave her on the lip casual response to MSNBC reporter.
It looks like this issue is bigger than Iraq from security stand point of view and also with latest information of Al-Qaeda making statements to get into US for attacks.
I would be very surprised if they start working on cases submitted in July even if current and they get extra visa numbers. There are people like me who had submitted thier I-485s (with I-140) under EB2 back in August 2006 and were current back then. I'm still waiting.

screw you oscarzumaran. The very fact that you are so knowledgeable about fake degrees and fake experience tells me that you have good experience doing such things. And whether I port or not is none of your f**** business. I am sure your posts are being watched by IV admins and its only a matter of time you will be thrown where you always belong - DIRTY GUTTER..
eb3retro, no need to get nasty here. We all know that you probably have fake degrees and fake experience that you used to get to the US. Being in EB3 for so long without porting to EB2 proves it. You are worried you will get caught in case you port...aren't you? We get it. I have seen the pathetic English you write. And do you work for an uncle who is keeping your status alive? Surprised how I found out?
So, whose truth came out now? ;)

BREAKING NEWS: LOFGREN GIVES USCIS THREE DAYS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), chair of the House Immigration Subcommittee, sent Secretary Chertoff a list of questions and a request for documents from USCIS to get to the bottom of the whole Visa Bulletin fiasco. The letter is very interesting not just because it puts a heck of a lot of pressure on DHS right now, but also because Lofgren's folks imply from the questions that USCIS was short circuiting established security clearance procedures to "pre-request" visa numbers from DOS. If it turns out full security clearances were not carried out, USCIS will either need to say that they had the legal justification (which would be a public relations disaster for the agency) or that they intended to complete the checks after the fact (which would be a direct violation of their own regulations). The only way to avoid answering the questions and to make this go away would be to eat crow and start working the case July cases.
This letter is posted on her today's press release July 11, 2007 (http://lofgren.house.gov/PRArticle.aspx?NewsID=1810)

You may think that your contribution does not matter as long as others contribute. You may think that your contribution cannot change anything. ... If you think so, then you are wrong.
Your contribution is critical to this organization! You contribution is important to yourself--the legal immigrant!
Let me tell you what will happen if you don't contribute now:
With the number of people who have contributed stabilizing at a low level, IV's lobbying will be very very limited.
Then people who have contributed would feel disappointed.
Sooner or later, those people would withdraw their contribution.
Eventually IV will be closed.
From then on, you, who don't contribute now, will have no organization to speak up for you.
From then on, you will complain your situation in your company, seeing your peers get promoted while you get stuck in the same position because of your GC application.
...
Maybe, at that time, you will say to yourself, "if I have contributed to IV in that special year, if all people like me have contributed, we would have get our GCs. Then, maybe, my life would have been totally different..."
Let me also tell you what you can lose if you contribute.
Your immigration status will NOT become worse, if it cannot get better.
The only thing you will lose is about $200 or less if you contribute $20/month. It will happen this year or never! If it does not happen this year, you can always withdraw your subscription.
I believe many people would pay $20,000 to buy a GC if possible. If IV brings 1% chance to help pass the bill, $200 is a very fair price! Besides, I believe the opportunity cost for people who has no GCs is probably more than $20,000 a year, considering a potential promotion or a job change. For those people, don't you think $200 is a very reasonable price to buy yourself a 1% chance?
Besides, the chance that IV brings to us is much much higher than 1%!
You are all high skilled workers. You can do this math very well!
So come one! Make contribution now or you may have no chance to make this great deal!
very well said, waitinggc.

INS needs money, best strategy stop all 485 for couple of months, let them back log, we will raise the fees exhorbitantly across board to 485/EAD/AP etc, then make everything current, ecpecially INDIA/CHINA that's where the money flow is from, but lets not make it obvious and dubious, we will move forward the dates for couple of years for June and make it current for July (remember July1 is the date new fees kick in), and then make sure everbody files and after 2 months, we will retrogress back to 3 or 4 years back to where we started so that conservative politicians are happy, that way we will have everbody in the INS Casino, no going out, keep renewing by paying more and more fees, INS haapy, I-485 applicants are in make belive happiness as spouces and children get EAD"

To all:
For those of us, who have green cards, we would also like to participate, if we can add an action item to improve citizenship rules. Most of us have waited 10 yrs for green card, and waiting another 5 yrs on top of it is too much.
Also, h1bs + green card holders would be both interested in joining the cause.
say what?
