Hey J(erk) Thomas,
For all the geniuses out here, how many companies like Google or Microsoft or yahoo came out of India in the last 20 years? Yeah, that is what I thought too.. BIG ZERO. But if you read J(erk) Thomas' response, one would have thought that India is full of competitors for Microsoft and Google today :D :D :D
dude, how many immigrants/H1/L1/GC/Gc->US citizens work for google/Msoft/Yahoo. And if you are naming these corporations as the benchmark of success/technical excellence why do you not listen to what they say about visa programs?

Dear Vamsi, SVK, NK, Shahuja, Abuddyz, and all eligible visa aspirants:
I just got an email from the Chennai consulate, 29th day from the interview, stating the visa was stamped today:
"Thank you for your e-mail.
Our records show that your visa was issued today, January 31. You
should be receiving your passport/visa soon.
Visa Information Unit
American Consulate General
Chennai 600006, India
Telephone: 91 44 2857 4242
Fax: 91 44 2811 2027

This means there is light at the end of the tunnel. Please have faith in your abilities, and in your God. You will hear back soon.
Moral of the story: "Never use a Consulate in India for visa re-validation again."
Please learn from this story, and never again trust Consulates in India for extension purposes.
God bless you all.:)

If I am not wrong VDLRAO is predicting Eb2 will be current with in a year if USCIS continue horizontal spillover. What is wrong with you..
I dont know what VDLRAO is predciting, I was responding to someone, oh wait a minute, it was your post a couple pages back that said "...as from VDLRAO's post Eb2 does not need much visa to become current ..".
So nothing is wrong with me, but you better ask that question to yourself.

I am planning to go to the USCIS office tomorrow for media coverage. Any one in the DC area willing to join? This would be between 10 am and 1 pm. send me a pm with your name, number for more info. I really want to hear from the people who were ready for the protest in DC. This is a good opportunity to explain what has happened and the root cause of the issue.

...how is USCIS involved in this other than adjudicating cases and providing statistics to DoS as far the EB3 allocation issue is concerned?
Why are you guys taking about USCIS's interpretation of the law ??? What have they to do with it ? :eek:
**** The interpration is done by the Visa Office of DoS. **** Should get in touch with them.

Thanks for the FAQ.
Quick question:
I have a EB2 approved I-140 with PD 2006. Another EB2 I-140 from BEC with PD 2005 is still pending and might take another 6 months to get approval.
Will it be a better a strategy to file based on approved 140 (pd 2006) and later on capture pd 2005, once the BEC based 140 gets approved? Not sure whether interfiling applies for same category.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions

I spoke all the the reps that someone posted not on this list.
To add to the list of sponsors/co-sponsors, Congress Debbie Schultz is a co-sponsor for the bill (so don't call asking for support, but you can call to appreciate their efforts).
I think it would be better to keep it brief. They don't have time, and we can't spend lot of time, or else we won't be able to call all of them. It took me 30 minutes to call all of them.
I read somewhere that Steve King is not supportive, infact he's opposed to this bill. So it would be wise not to call his office. I don't he'll change his stance 'coz he's part of numbersusa/other nut cases.
Also note the phone number of Robert Scott is wrong, it shows the phone number of Adam Schiff. I realized only after I called twice. but luckily I realised before I could go through the whole talking points.
Pls everyone call before its too late. we need to get this passed as this is our only hope. PLS CALLLLLLL!!!

There are laws and there are exceptions. Basically there are no Laws when it comes to Immigration. USCIS/DOS can do whatever they like.
Look at Jul'2007, people with EB3 PD of 2004 got approved and people with 2001 are still waiting.
Look at EB2 approvals these days. People with 2006 PD are getting approved and people with 2004 PD are still waiting.
Can somebody explain how PD in each VB goes backward? Is it possible to get new applications with older PD in between? Don't they have computers with all the data where they can see how many applications are pending?
Howcome they were giving unused numbers to EB3 till last year and how come they changed the interpretation this year. The rule didn't change, they simply changed their interpretation of it.
If EB3 would have known about this new interpretation then they would have never applied in EB3 category.
Bottomline is there are no rules. USCIS/DOS is doing whatever they like and playing with our life. Nobody knows how many applications are pending. Nobody can predict the VB movement, it goes forward and backward. We cann't plan our lives and live in limbo all the time.

You must be kidding me if you cannot make out the difference between an approval and an RFE. It clearly states "Your Case Status: Decision"... What more do you want?
I was wondering why the status went backwards (from CPO to Decision) and if that that is a normal process.
Thanks,

Bharatpremi,
Thanks for the excellent analysis. One question, your analysis assumes category excess visas goto next category on a per country basis, is this correct ?
Ans: Yes. In reality nobody is sure how USCIS is spilling over, vertical way, the way which I have assumed here OR horizontal way as per your belief OR combination of both.
Example, EB-1 china number goto EB-2 China ? I thought all EB-1 China numbers are added to the excess pool and then given to most retrogressed EB2 category ?
Thanks for anyone who clarifies this.
No matter how the data is sliced and diced, being EB3-I certainly means a loo...ong wait time ... :) yes , agreed. No matter how you slice or dice, EB3-I is and will always be "Sautan Ke Chhore" (Step Sons/daughters):)

I was thinking exactly like you until she educated me on this yesterday.
The problem with the EAD is you are invoking AC21. There are several possible problems here including
1. Complying with AC21 requirements of job code, 180 days after 485 RD, etc.
2. Invoking AC21 without 140 approval. This is not against the law, but is risky in case of a 140 RFE.
There are more reasons, but these ought to provide enough clarity on the problem. It is in the employer's interest to ensure that the candidate does not have any such issues; issues which will lead to termination of employment. The Recruiter cannot check DOL job codes and USCIS documents. That is the job of Legal which means $$$.
So if the hiring manager does not have a budget for these extra costs or if he has an equally good candidate who is a GC holder or a citizen, it is easier to go with him or her.
Agreed. But EAD doesn’t apply to EB based immigrants alone. There are hundreds of thousands of family based immigrants who use EAD until their status gets adjusted and I-140/AC21/180 days etc. are not applicable to them. Same applies to the spouses of EB applicants. In such cases it’s a waste of time/money for the company to consult with the legal department.
I believe it’s the responsibility of the EAD holder to communicate what he expects from the new employer (like AC21) after which the company could decide whether to go with the legal department or not. Just assuming that all EAD cases fall under I-140/AC21/180 days etc. is plain ignorance.
