Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?

Important Note - I think the fine print of this bill was discussed a few days/weeks ago and the visas will actually be going to recent grads (within the past 5 years). It will in now way help the EB2's and EB3's who are waiting in line forever.
I think this is the right time to work on modifying the text of this bill. If not these GC's will be given away to people who haven't even applied yet !
No my friend, check my previous post, that was directly taken from the bill summary, the numbers will roll down for present EB community.

Your responsiblity with time sheet ends once it has been approved by your manager. The payment rules between Client -> Primary Vendor -> Your Consulting firm is not your busiess. Tell him straight that Once you fax an approved time sheet you should get that money irrespective of whether they got the money or not.
Also define the reasonable period . I think 2 weeks is fine any thing more is not acceptable.

No offense taken. I would be bemused too, if I didn't understand the process.
I don't think many people understand that visa allocations for documentarily-qualified applications are actually made at the time a bulletin is released.
And even otherwise, if they worked on July 1st, my PD WAS CURRENT on July 1st, and a visa may have been allotted on July 1st.
Again, I have interpreted a congressional briefing by Charles Oppenheim, Chief, Immigrant Control and Reporting Division, Visa services office of the DOS here:

eb3_nepa,
One thing we should forcefully implement is give everybody an oppurtunity to speak up, if a right candidate steps up.
thanks

Nobody from IV has prevented people from other countries from speaking up. On the contrary, multinationalism is only encouraged to give a global face to this issue. But, I don't see anyone from outside India/China bolstering IV's efforts. Why don't they step up and join the core team?

My I485 is pending, recently I have changed my address online. I also recieved confirmation letters for this address change.
After 2 weeks of address change, USCIS issued an RFE. I have not yet received it, but I just want to prepare for this.
What could be the reason for this RFE? Is it common?

To the IV Core Team,
I want to express my solidarity & support with you guys. You have been great in bringing so much focus on our issues in just the last 3 months. Kudos to you guys !!!
The core team has spent so much of their personal time, money & energy into this, I fully support the suggestion someone else had put in this thread. If any money is left at the end of our ordeal, let the core team be rewarded by the remaining amount being split between them. I too know that this suggestion may be turned down by the Core Team members themselves, but here's my vote for it.
Just remember that for every 1 person complaining here, there are at least 10 people supporting you. Thanks for all that you are doing to help our cause !!!
To the members here who are always complaining,
Please stop behaving like a bunch of spoiled kids. You seem to demonstrate this attitude by behaving like a kid going up to someone, handing over a 5 dollar bill & asking for the "Tower of Paris". If you want your Tower of Paris, come & help us build it.
Go IV Core Team members !!!!! :)

Gurus,
Here is my situation:
I-140 approved - PD: May '06
I-485 filed - July 30 '07 (India)
EAD cards - Received
APs - Received
Due to a slowdown in their business, my employer is laying me off in Dec '07. I'm still short of 1 month to complete my 180 days of I-485 filling. However, they said they will not withdraw my I-140 and, to help me, will in fact keep me on their payroll until Jan '08, with my Jan '08 salary as my severance and my official status as on "paid leave". So far, so good.
I also have a job offer, and my new employer wants me to join them in Dec '07, on EAD. My question is: Can I be officially on the payroll of two companies simultaneously on H-1B and/or EAD? If yes, do I need to inform the USCIS of my status (new employer; AC21)? My other option is to say No to the new (attractive) job offer (or to try to convince them to wait until Feb '08, which they'll likely not agree to), and and take up another job in Feb '08, on EAD / H-1B transfer, using AC21. Please advise whether I'm fine with using the first option!!
Exultant, be a little careful with what you are doing here, since the basis for the 485 relies on the fact that there is INTENT on both sides (employee and employer) to take the job available at the time of filing. A company expresses this intent by keeping the I-140 active and not withdrawing, but there could be a question as to your intent with what you are stating to do.
I know you can counter argue this by saying that you are still on the original company's payroll in Jan 08, but when you file for AC21 in Feb 08 and show you new employer as the one in December, there is a question of intent.
I am not trying to scare you or sway your decision, all I am saying is there COULD be a question on your petition in which case be ready with the facts incase there is an interview.

Who can get regulation change done? Companies like Microsoft, Oracle etc...they have the bandwith and financial muscle to lobby and make regulation change happen....
IV can grab and influence media...let's just leave it at that....AND BOY WHAT A JOB IS IT DOING!!....HATS OFF TO IT....THE FLOWER CAMPAIGN WAS A GENIUS IDEA.....AS LONG AS ONE CAN INFLUENCE NY TIMES/WASHINGTON POST/NPR TO REPORT ON IT....THEY HAVE SCORED 100 out of 100 in their media blitz!

I-140 PP is only available if you are within 60 days of your H-1 capout. So for most people who are porting PD from EB3 to EB2 , there is additional wait of six months to an year just for I-140.
Porting PD from EB3 to EB2 can easily take 1 year including new PERM application, I-140 and I-485 interfile.
What is interfile ? Is it changing the underlying I140 for the 485 application ?
Can we do that ?
Can the new I140 be from the same employer or does it need to be from a different employer ?

Whoever opened this post about retrogression, close this stupid post.
Previous months everyone was discussing on how the dates should move, how to avoid retrogress.
Now when the dates have moved, now some idiots are speculating on when and how the dates should retrogress.
Guys get a life, focus on the core element here, the element is to relieve ourselves and others from backlog. Read all these posts, what are we you all focusing on when dates will Retrogress
What you get in life is what you attract and think. Think positive and positivity will come to you, if you keep questioning it, then you can join the long line of suckers and whiners.
Close this damn post and all the people who have to give their 2 smart cents on retrogress, call among each other or open something of your own.
All these messages which you are posting will just break our spirit. Administrator, please close these posts.
Relax. Take it easy. What makes you so angry. People are just expressing their views.

Why do you guys have such a hard time believing....
Law says what it says
Visa bulletin has the notce
Berkleybee isn't saying anything in that conversation with DOS which isn't already covered by the law or the note in 2005 visa bulletin.
Still; everyone is thinking it is a mistake and it is going to get current in 3 to 4months?
The cynic in me believes that everyone thinks it is just a matter of time before it becomes current or there is significant movements in dates. This is dead wrong. All one needs to do is look at data coming out from backlog processing centers; amount of 245i labors; statistics on how many people have come on h-1b; l-1's, b visas, f visas, amont of perm labor approvals; amount of greencards approved over the last five years.
It is going to be a very, very long time before there is significant movement in dates.
The cynic in me thinks Berkleybee posted it in immigration.com so that people may now get the message the dates aren't going to move. They aren't going to move significantly next year either. There is TOO many people going for greencards.
As long as people think that the dates are going to move, then they sit on the fence and don't do much to get rid of retrogression.
I am sure if people could get convinced that in current environment; visa dates will never get current then people may have some urgency in participating to get rid of retrogression.
UN,
I have strong belief on your postings. Don�t know about Berkleybee�
I am from India EB3. I strongly believe that we can change this system, after all it is human made, outdated and obviously not suitable for current scenario.
So realistically what we can do about this, if so what would be the approach.

which category do u belong to EB1/2/3, which country, what ur PD.
based on that i can tell u whether u should keep ur username as optimystic or change it to "pessimystic"
As another member already indicated , I already mentioned my PD, country and EB category in my post.
Anyway, I had already waited 7 years in the GC process before recently coming across this forum and choosing this handle name when joining. Guess you could say that I was prepared to dig in and stay for the long haul if required which is why I chose that handle name. A few ups and downs/ forwards & backwards (even if in years !) in the priority dates won't deter me much now :).
Although, I could just be drunk with euphoria of my PD becoming current in March and blabbering away pompously. So don't you steal that login (pessimystic) away from me ! I reserve the right to choose it if and when I feel so :)

You are correct but I think I am not sure if one can change employer (H1B Transfer) during that 3 Year extended H1B period after 485 denial.
That seems to make sense, because there is no such a thing like a H1-B transfer as every application is a new one, so you can't really file a new H1-B with no grounds when 485 is denied and you have already used up 6 years. But my friends, but but but, you can always file a Labor with employer B and when its pending more than 1 year, apply for H-1B extension/transfer. Woo hoo...

OK so I was the original poster that spoke about my friend. Now I will give you some insight into my own case. I have been now in the US since 1991(though my PD is August 2001). Here are some details
Jan 1991 : Arrived in US as 19 yr old after completing Diploma in Engineering from India (10 plus 3).
1991- 1996: Took 5 yrs to complete 4 yrs degree as I was paying my own way. Working full time and studying full time on F1 visa.
1996 -1998 : Completed MBA. This time situation was better because I had financial aid and in state tuition.
1998-1999: Completed internship at an Investment Bank. Had to find another job because I Bank didnt want to do H1. Have been at current job since 1999.
2001: CVompany policy was to wait 2 yrs before applying for GC. So finally filed labor in 2001.
2005 : Labor finally approved from BEC. I 140 filed and approved.
June 2007 : 485 filed (as a 36 yr old)
You are here since a very long time.
If rules can be proposed in CIR for undocumented allowing them to get a greencard if they can prove they are here for minimum X number of years, similar rules can be created for legal documented immigrants (like yourself) too. Its just that the legal immigrant community is not united and does not have enough power yet to raise the voice.
