I know it is not correct way. But those who are waiting for long time worth to try. Anyhow most of the persons are eligible to file 485. Few thousand substitutions will not make much difference.
Your suggestion surprises me.

We really need help and support from IV'ans like you to make this initiative successful. We really need to raise our targeted funds and meet the goals of Team IV for this year.
Thanks santb1975 & NolaIndian for creating this. I am going to ask a friend who ran half marathon last year. I am still contemplating whether I will be able to keep the commitment, since the only exercise I do is walk to and from my car :D

I agree. Based on my 10+ years experience in the IT industry I saw only Indian IT folks strive to deliver the task as agreed. Be it by working later hours, weekends, holidays. They dont get paid for all their hardwork. It it not done for job security purpose just as commitment. I see my own team members sacrificing lot of personal obligations for the work and show their dedication. Not all Indians enjoy.
where do you make your observations man????????? your observation are totally incorrect. I have seen so many indians who are putting so many extra hours without any extra pay.. we dont follow clock buddy.....go and look some other places where indian works...

Sanhari, I am with you on this.
Please let me know the best way to contact our local congressmen and I am willing to support this effort.
I think it's fair that people waiting from 2002 get their GC's first. I mean they have been waiting for an unreasonable amount of time. At the same time all EB's should wake up and do this.
What should we do to spread this message ?
I am writing to the local congressmen, to request USCIS to apply the spillover visas to EB cases with older priority date first (irrespective of it's category or country). I hope this will help, if lot of these local congressmen/women contact USCIS to handle this spillover in a fair manner, allocating to older priority date cases first irrespective of category or country. All EB3 folks please take some time and do the same writing to your congressmen about this issue.

I agree, this is the way politics works most of the time. lobby for votes, etc.
But isn't it also their job to do what is in the best interest of the Nation. Everything isn't decided by lobbies.
Maybe we're approaching this the wrong way, in trying to build competing lobby. it needs a new approach. Congress should be convinced in a different way.
Lobby is for optional, nice to have things, which will not be generally missed if they fail.
Legal immigration is none of these and is almost mandatory. Imagine losing for eg. 200K EB3s. another 50K doctors.
Doctors are EB2 and EB1.
They are not EB3
Even Physical therapists are EB2.
EB3 are low level/entry level programmers or skilled workers with with undergraduate degree or diploma degree holders that use education evaluation service to prove that their diploma is equivalent to an undergraduate degree.
Now some of you will say you have masters degree and still are EB3. It does not matter if you have a undergraduate degree from IIT or Harvard and have MBA from Harvard. If your job needs only undergraduate degree your master degrees are useless. You are working in a wrong job and overqualified for your job. You should look for another job that needs your american masters degree. Some will say that their lawyer filed in EB3 even though they qualify for EB2. Now that is also a wrong excuse. If your lawyer and HR screwed you, it is your fault that you could not stand up to them. It is not USCIS fault.

No. It was changed in the middle of 2008. The DOS consulted with the Congress on this and came to the conclusion that there should be horizontal spillover before vertical. I don't want to go into whether this was right or wrong, fair or not. This is the current policy.
You can see ample evidence in the annual visa allocation once you compare 2005/2006/2007/2008 allocations. EB3-ROW and EB3-ICMP benefited till 2007 because of vertical spillover and EB2-I & EB2-C have been the beneficiaries of the horizontal spillover policy since 2008.
It is not the policy of DOS or USCIS to follow horizontal or vertical spill over. It is law. Both federal agencies (DOS and USCIS) has to obey the law by strictly following what INA section 201, 202 and 203 says, irrespective of how the law is unfair to any catagory. The law is very clear about spillover; it is horizontal. One has to read word by word in the law book to understand how the allocation of EB visas are made.
If DOS properly followed the INA as amended by AC21 act in 2000, EB2-I never retrogressed since year 2005. EB2 I might have been always “current”. EB3 including ROW might have been much worst situation than now. EB3-IN would have beeen (always) be in disaster state since 2001. Though it is unfair to (EB3) many, this is what the law. Here is the historical events what happened in EB catagories.
In later part of 1990s EB categories were retrogressed for IN, CH by about 2 years. When AC21 law passed in 2000, it did two very important things. One recapture of about 216,000 EB visas and it removed country quota in each EB category if excess visas available, in that category. That means it enforced horizontal spill over. In simple example, consider Mexico which is most subscribing country. Lets assume in a fiscal year, 40,000 Mexican are eligible for EB2 visa(and no other citizens in EB2), and millions of Mexican eligible for EB3 and in family based categories, still DOS should issue 40,000 (100% not 7%) EB2 visa to Mexicans irrespective of how much demand in other categories. Because of tons of backlogs in 485 (between 2000 and 2004), particularly in EB3, DOS issued about 185000 (out of 216000) to EB3. That’s why EB3 was current between 2000 and 2004. They simply ignored the EB2 demand by India and retrogressed in 2005, though total demand for EB2 less than the available pool of recaptured visas. Since the year 2007, they realized the mistake and now (since 2007) they are following correctly (though may not fair to EB3) the law. If they follow correctly the law, EB2-IN, Ch will become current soon. Till all EB2 become current, EB3 never see any spill over. Till EB3 –ROW become current, EB3 IN will not see any spill over. Till that point EB3-In will get only 2800 (7% od 40,000) EB3 visas per year.
EB3 folks should thank to DOS for misallocation of EB visas between 2000 and 2006, particularly between 2004 and 2006. Now they are exactly following the law book. As title of this thred eays IV help or heavy lobbying is need to change the law to bring back vertical spillover, to ease the EB3-IN clog. They need to work hard.

Still I am kind of tense about my degree is considered as US equivalent degree. It accepted in H1-B, and EB-3 GC process. I am cross my figures until I get the decision from IO. I will give more updates later.

1) Fast-track GC process for Masters degree holders from US universities. This will be the least controversial, boost admissions (and money) flowing into universities, and clear up backlog in regular GC queue. Its a win-win and most senators, congressmen have voiced support for it already. We can get very good support from University lobbyists also (if they exist!!).
If this process removes those with US Masters from the existing queue and puts them in a queue with no visa number limit, this is an excellent proposal. This might even eliminate the entire backlog.

To pursue this issue as a separate issue is not inline with IV's policy.
If aids receive lots of lobbying all on separate issues there will be no progress on any issues.
There is a recent thread on I-140 delays, clearly the author thinks that's one of the most important issues.
There is a thread (this one) on age out.
There are probably threads on all sorts of separate issues, I'll suggest a few:
People still with labor pending, applications that BEC completed may still be pending advertisements etc.
People with I485 returned in error.
Consultants worried about H1B renewals.
My point was that age out can be raised in meetings that address the big picture. Once we get a seat at the table there is more chance to get all the issues addressed.
An alternative strategy is to try to find law makers in favor of niche issues, like FBI name check (already being addressed), age out, I140 delays. The trouble then is that we might get some niche issues addressed but not the big picture.
If you attend law maker meetings as an IV member talking about the big picture you then have the opportunity to raise a personal example (this can be powerful). It would help you and help IV. A huge number of us have powerful cases, some economic, some family orientated.
Basically I'm saying that the sum of the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
It appears that you wish to lobby separately, or at least not following IV's strategy. CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. I only gained some limited knowledge of which law makers and their aids may be more sympathetic to family type issues (e.g. age out), by being part of IV. Thus I do not feel free to give out this information for lobbying use that is not part of the IV work.
Logistical note:
If you need something it is best to email me. Currently I'm working maybe 6 to 12 hours a week on IV stuff and that leaves me little time to read forums.
