You expressed frustration at your situation, and rightfully so, anyone one of us would have felt the same way in your situation. This is so unfair. As far as I'm concerned, you have nothing to apologize for. I hope you get approved soon so you can join the rest of us I485'ers. Good luck to you.

Excellent response. I have been a silent admirer of IV for some time. IV has represented the aspirations of all the EB applicants. people should understand that the US allotment of visas to foreign Nationals is only based on what is fair for the country (US). It does not matter to them to what country the applicant belongs but what matters is the qualifications and their benefit to the advancement of the US. I am appauled to see some of the members racheting up this irrational discussion about the spillovers when DOS clearly stated recently what the intent of the law was. the sooner they get over this issue, the better for them and for every one on the forum as the existing rules will NOT change regarding the spillover. we have to concentrate our efforts on how we can improve conditions for every body affected by this retroression. efforts aimed at one category and that too one country will almost certainy fail. I am also shocked to see a few EB3 I expressing anger over dates moving for EB2. personally if I see a person from my country getting his visa approved, then I would feel very happy for him even if I am waiting for some time. I know it will be difficult, but atleast spare some joy for your country men and women who are getting some well deserved relief after such a long wait. one of my old friends told me once "if you have a friend from India, don't rely on him to help you, because you will not get much help moreover some people will only try to pull you down, but if you take people from other countries, it is exactly the opposite as they try to help each other in every possible way". I agree that it is very distressing for every one that the dates are retrogressed, but now that EB2 has moved, all of a sudden some people woke up from a deep sleep and started making these arguments that have no legal basis. None of these people expressed their anger when EB3 ROW was being preferred over more qualified EB2 I and C and making EB2 unavailable. I know a lot of people from EB2 protested at this wrong interpretation of the law, but I don't remember anyone ever criticizing IV for not taking up their cause even though we knew all along that spillover from EB1 to EB2 retrogressed countries was the right interpretation of the law. now some people are asking IV to take up an issue that is straight forward illegal as was clearly explained by DOS in a recent bulletin. instead of wasting time and efforts on such futile suggestions, people should concentrate on making some constructive effort along with IV helping every one involved in retrogression.
you must know something i don't.
aman kapoor is the president and founder of iv- of course you can argue he now has his GC but that fact is he is still the heart and soul of iv and runs the organization on a day to day basis. he is EB3.
the "core group" does not much exist in practical terms right now. there is instead a large "leaders group" that helps coordinate actions and strategy.
this group has a lot of active members- and i find it "comfortable" to say that the majority are EB3. which may actually count for something- since i actually do know somethings you don't :-)
no one stops anyone from doing anything. but whatever you do (and yes you actually have to DO, not just keep talking), has to have a sound basis. Many of the suggestions put forward have flaws, and actually papu and others have been pretty helpful in politely helping to point those out and suggesting changes. of course reddog took objection even to that! incidentally, just for the record, you may want to look at pappu's profile . HE IS EB3!
so what do you want anyway? should we go tell USCIS that leftover Gc from EB2 ROW should go to EB3 ROW instead of EB2 I/C? what about the 28.6% that should belong to EB2? and since you are EB3 I- how does this help you in any way? or should we tell them to stop the preference catogories in INA and make EB1=EB2=Eb3? somehow i do not think that is going to fly.
where were you when USCIS implemented vertical spillover in 2006 and left EB2 I in a U state while giving EB2 Gc numbers to EB3 ROW?
did you object then? did you start a campaign? did EB2 I folks here start saying that iv did not care about them?
in 2007 ordinarily, (like 06) EB2 I and EB3 I would have got only 2,800 GC each. because of iv's efforts in reversing the july bulletin, EB3 I got a huge number of Gc instead. many more than any other category. i don't remember anyone else standing up and saying that this was unfair and that iv is all about EB3I. and that's what a lot of anti iv folks say. that iv is all about EB3 India. so this is very ironical.
and i see here a comment that every campaign has been bad for EB3 india.
i guess july reversal was bad. i guess the campaign for recapture is bad. and the 2 year EAD is bad too. not to mention the gathering support to end country quotas.
you opened my eyes :-)

That is great and is exactly what the doctor prescribed. Lets try and get the Congressman to make a positive decision. Every call counts!
I just called and spoke to a staff member at Lamar Smith's office. Apparently a lot of calls are being made :D. She knew why I was calling before I could tell her. I was told that the Rep. has not made a public stand on these bills yet. I told her that I would like the Representative to support these bills if and when they come to the floor.
Keep calling, guys!.

sorry for your disgruntlement ...
It is USCIS that decides the categories and it is they who say that EB1 is more skilled and valuable than other categories
Again ... like I said in my post .... It is NOT NOT individual's qualifications or Country that matters, it is the JOB descr they do that decides the EB category. IF USCIS places more value on EB1 than EB2/EB3 category jobs that is not my problem .... but thats the way it is (doesnt mean that it is in anyway right)... and that was my point ..
The innuendos are being spread by people like yourself .... and reflects your own insecurities and frustrations.
I do not see anywhere in the legislation where it says that EB1 is "more skilled and valuable" that EB2 and so on. What it does say is that the various categories require a certain amount of education and hence my point! I am not insecure but I AM frustrated at your arrogance. Look before you leap and read the Immigration Act!!!!

Shows you the general herd mentality on this forum. As long as everyone is thinking the same way, everything is great. If you differ, everyone will call for a ban on you. They are all lemmings. Unfortunately, I had to come to this forum for news. I have never seen such a bunch of dimwitted people in one place...
None has called a ban for anyone being differ but it's just the way you express your opinions by using the words like "herd mentality", "dimwitted" etc. Not that you have accepted that you are here for news only, I don't think we need people like you.
IV is not a news site. It's a group of people who are fighting for a common cause. One needs to understand the common cause is not just helping July filers or people affected with retrogress but a bigger aim of helping all the legal employment-based immigrants. But one also needs to understand that not all the objective can be accomplished at a time and we need to strike the iron when it's hot and make every opportunity count, be it a BEC, retrogression, July filer or Visa recapturing.
Having said that, I do agree that BEC is one of the issue which should definitely be focussing on next. I'm sure IV members (even if they are not a BEC victim) will support whole heartedly any cause which can bring some relief to BEC victms. What we need is a united front and some unique ideas like flower campaign. Do not forget the flower campaign idea was pursued by one of the IV member who was not part of core.

I doubt if the house is going to toe the senate line on the CIR. The new bill that has been introduced in the House is seen as a rebuke to Bush, directly contradicting the Senate version. I think this CIR will be killed in the house if it somehow passes the Senate.

Friends Please dont jump on me as i make these comments. I am doing my best to convince ppl as i see across to Join IV and contribute to our efforts. But i also think that every state chapter should allocate some members who only concentrate on grass root efforts but nothing else to track how many memberships and etc and those should co-ordinate with every state to see how much they can target and how much did they reach. I know this might have been thought by some others but just what i am thinking ?
I will do 50+ from my side over the weekend , sorry shadowing till now will post exact as i mail all these. I will try to pump up as much as i can .

To core IV team members,
Do we are sending any "thank you faxes "to the congress man who orginates the skill bill?
-----
To me it looks like a ploy by Republicans:
1) To fracture the support for CIR and isolate the undocumented workers
2) Republicans already enjoy support of the anti-immigration lobbies, what better than to add legal immigrant lobbies to their support base. Contradictory, yes, but a suave political move to confuse voters further.
Strategically, when one doesn't enjoy clear majority support, this is a perfect political move.
3) If this were a betting game, I would put my money on,"Nothing is going to happen on SKIL till after the Nov. elections" horse.
4) If Democrats win the House in Nov. the SKIL will have trouble, because it is sponsored by Republicans. If Republicans retain the house, well, SKIL bill would have served its purpose.
5) Even if House passes the SKIL bill Senate won't pass it because they already passed a comprehensive bill. They won't want to appear to be partial to legals and overlook the undocumented workers.
These are my thoughts on SKIL bill as it stands today, I may be wrong.

Just being paranoid, but is 797 the number for the "receipt notice" as well as notice of action? I know that when H1 or 140 is decided, the notice of action form is called 797. I know that the USCIS seems pretty clear in the FAQ, but just wanted to confirm that a receipt is also called 797

Frankly speaking, i am not a sufferer from BEC, but i want to know more about this mess.
Does the FIFO means, they process the applications in FIFO order, Does it mean that they approve also in the FIFO order? I think both processing and approving are different. Whoever got the case with less complications, will first get the approval and whose case got more complications, takes more time. Is it correct? I may be wrong. I think thats the reason why 2004 PDs may come out BEC fast sometimes as they put the case strongly and clearly.
Don't shout at me, i may be wrong.
My case was filed in 2002 under traditional labor certification. DOL never questioned anything or asked for any clarifications (so I assume there were no complications). The job was advertised in last April (it was a little newspaper advertisement with few lines and very generic job requirements). There were no resumes received. But still I have not received my labor approval. So what baffles me most is why has the DOL been not able to taken any decision on my case even after 5 years. One of my friends who applied in traditional labor two years after me has already received his LC. Let us say, for argument sake, the case was complicated. How complicated can it be to be delayed by several years, not months? We probably would get answers to these questions only if we drag the DOL to court and make them explain.

Reading through this, this only says that the status cannot be changed (to a PR). It does not say that the prefiling of of AOS application cannot be done.
I think we should definitely try to work towards this. There was also an article on Immigration daily (http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0225-endelman.shtm) which suggests pre filing as a administrative fix that will solve a lot of problems. It argues that "there is nothing in the INA that compels a particular definition or understanding of what "immediate availability" means."
I am definitely in for such a initiative.
Incorrect! Please read again.
Section 1255. Adjustment of status of nonimmigrant to that of
person admitted for permanent residence
(a) Status as person admitted for permanent residence on application and
eligibility for immigrant visa
The status of an alien who was inspected and admitted or paroled
into the United States or the status of any other alien having an
approved petition for classification under subparagraph (A)(iii),
(A)(iv), (B)(ii), or (B)(iii) of section 1154(a)(1) of this title or \1\
may be adjusted by the Attorney General, in his discretion and under
such regulations as he may prescribe, to that of an alien lawfully
admitted for permanent residence if (1) the alien makes an application
for such adjustment, (2) the alien is eligible to receive an immigrant
visa and is admissible to the United States for permanent residence, and
(3) an immigrant visa is immediately available to him at the time his
application is filed.
This means that visa number must be available at the time of filing I-485.
Well, Read again. I hope it answers your question.
Here is the test from newsletter
What regulatory or legislative changes (including a possible pre-application filing procedure for adjustment cases) are recommended to facilitate caseload planning and make optimum use of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudication capacity?

This is a basic supply and demand issue.
When H1-B yearly cap is getting used up within days, what is the reason for allowing H-4 to work.
The only way you would see a change in the rule is when there are not many H1-B takers, and they need to attract more families.
Don't get me wrong, i am not trying to say H-4s should not be given the oppertunity. Just think in terms of the need for this country. Not our personal needs.
