Somebody left me a message to answer this so I am jumping in. Let me know if my answer seems reasonable.
1) EB2 ROW is not 48K .... it is about 69K (ROW = all countries except IC).
2) EB2 ROW will add average 30K to this inventory.... so lets say in this economy they add 15-20K. So what EB2ROW has consumed is about 20-25K until today out of the 42K avlbl for the entire category and 36K for ROW EB3.
3) Tll jun 04 there are about 9K cases more left. So that will just about bring EB3ROW to 30-35K annual consumption - same as its quota.
Will the dates for EB3ROW move beyond Jun 04? May be Dec 04 max. The chances of movng it beyond that are less.
In other words .... the visas are NOT being utilized anywhere else. Its just the consumption is high.
This has been a posted by a fellow member 5 pages ago.. ARE THEY DIVERTING EB3 NUMBERS to some other categories?
Pappu or someone knowledgeable about backlog..please answer.
EB3 ROW is at Jun 2004. But as per latest USCIS inventory, EB3 ROW pending 485's are around 48,000. Visa numbers available every year for EB3 is approximately 42k. If you deduct the backlogged EB3 countries (4x3000) visa numbers, the total comes down to 30k for EB3 ROW. So EB3 ROW should become current or atleast Jul 07 in another 1.5 years. If this is not going to happen, it means they are diverting the EB3 numbers to some other categories.
my 2 cents
Note : If EB3 ROW has 30k visas per year and pending EB3 ROW 485's are only 50k.. why it is still hanging in 2004. God only knows !!

Just out of curiousity what skills do you have ? and I believed Life is full of shortcuts :)
There is no point in educating a mass of angry, frustrated EB3-I folks.
By preference (a LEGAL statute), EB1>EB2>EB3
For spillover (a LEGAL statute), EB1>EB2>EB3
EB1-I get their GCs in about a year.
EB2-I get their GCs in about 6 years.
EB3-I get their GCs in about 8 years.
SO WHAT IS THE BLOODY PROBLEM??? Wait your turn patiently like everyone else, or upgrade your skills and education to apply for EB2 jobs. Stop bitchin' and moanin' and trying to find shortcuts in life. There are none.

If you want to pick an event close to you and get a few MI IV'ans participate that would be great. We will be happy to make you guys part of Team IV and send you T-Shirts to wear at these events.
IV Professional Network is a great idea. Count me in.
Would've joined Team IV too. But distance is a factor stopping me. I can't participate in any of the marathons listed. My moral support is with you guys.

You are definitely better off taking the tatkal scheme. I agree its $90 more but its so much better than waiting to get your passport back. I have been waiting for over 6 weeks and still haven't received it yet from CGI Houston. I have had similar experiences as the other posts claim....no one answers the calls and the voice mailbox is full. So its more like wait wait wait and hope that your passport shows up on your doorstep some day :P

Folks,
Please call the below selected members from CHC. There are reasons why we should NOT be calling every one in the CHC. The members we have to target from CHC and their corresponding numbers are listed below.
I removed congressman Henry Cuellar from the list as he is now the co sponsor of all three bills
I removed congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard from the list as she is now the co sponsor of all three bills
Tell them that you would like to talk to some one who handles immigration/legal matters, If forwarded to voice mail, leave a VM. If the VM is full, you can get back to the main line by pressing 0 and then leave a message with them.
The message you have to deliver when calling these offices is
I would like Representative "Representative Name" to co sponsor bills HR 5882, HR 5921 & HR 6039 sponsored by Zoe Lofgren. All three bills have wide bipartisan support in the house and will help reduce the back logs associated with USCIS. These bills are a great first step towards immigration reform.
DO NOT GET INTO THE LEGAL/ILLEGAL DISCUSSION WITH STAFF MEMBERS
Only if the staff member bring up the issue of CIR, in that case say that -
In the past we have been supporting Comprehensive approach and still continue to support comprehensive approach and we look for our our main issues to be addressed whenever comprehensive bill is passed. However, this is is just an interim fix to begin or start the immigration reform process.

I agree,
Sadly, there is no commonsense or compassion shown by the current immigration laws
The Dream act is seen by many as nothing more than an amnesty. If only they would only focus on the illegal children and include all other legal children and never reward their parents with a green card I feel there could be a workable solution so this act could go through
I have left a message with Durbin's legislator to contact me to try and get appointment to discuss and willing to fly anywhere at my own cost

Well I really think this is reasonable suggestion to factor Priority Date to determine eligibility for citizenship. It could be 5 or 10 years past your priority and only after approval of green card. Currently many people wait for 8 to 10 years for green card and another 5 years to be eligible for citizenship and some lucky ones get green card in 2 to 3 years and citizenship in another 5 years. System should somehow be balanced to have close to uniform wait times towards citizenship for all.
sorry to sound like a beaten record - but it seems that everyone here pretty much sees citizenship as fait accompli!
how has our respective motherlands harmed us that despite being pushed around by US for years on end -we are desperately seeking US citizenship?? after all - in many cases - its the basic and advanced education received at our respective countries that has made us qualify as "highly skilled" immigrants here.....
go ahead - put all the red dots - but do some soul searching before that!
here is the first line of US citizenship oath - "I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen" - while i can absolutely live in US as a law-abiding, tax-paying resident - how can i renounce my country of birth?
You are right. But many people came here at the middle of their carrier and they are struck here with their children education etc., They are bound to be here and there is no way. Further, in my country, there are still reservation policies in everything, which may prevent the kids in going in for the education line they like. I donot want to explain this more as I may be degrading my own mother country. In a nutshell, everyone who wish to be a citizen of this country will have lot of valid reasons for getting a citizenship in this country.

So what, people in other lands can learn these laws and still do some work of
lawyers/paralegals:
http://money.cnn.com/2004/10/14/news/economy/lawyer_outsourcing/
a lot of companies are already getting their patent filing work done by attorneys and paralegals abroad. Wont be too long before your I-485 filing is also prepared from outside the US :)
My question is what will the attorneys and para legals do in the US, if they don't find sufficient cases to sustain their operation? What they studied here is not portable for other countries like software.
Thanks

Sorry, i'm just trying to understand the situation here, please no flames.
If this is an admin area fix and USCIS is the main one whom we may need to convince, do we still need to contact/involve politicians in this.
Coming elections, and two different parties, this may give a different color to the whole problem, than solving the problem.

Well that would be an option make H1b portable.
But then most consulting companies will not hire H1B's because it won't be cost effective.
Anyway just by checking most of this consulting firms businesses they will be able to uncover all the fraud.
It's very unethical to make you lie on your resume and then try to market you to an employer with fake experience, also nobody has responded to my comment. Real Companies like PWC, IBM pay you while you're on bench, while this indian consulting companies break the law by not doing that.
And whats wrong with having 90% non-immigrants in ur workforce?
These companies(even desi consulting) do play an important business role in consulting and economy at large. Only thing we have to worry about is that they dont exploit or abuse the workers which can easily solved by making h1b portable. By restricting to 10% or 20%, these 20% are going to be more exploited because there will be hundreds of desis and non-immigrants waiting to take that 20 jobs that now available and companies will exploit them.
If you want to see the effects of protectionist bill like these, one only needs to look at manufacturing sector. US gov. and unions protected its local manufacturing workers, wages went up and eventually the whole sector went to China and other countries. Its happening with automobile sector now. Let's hope software industry is not next.

People who filed in April/May are still waiting and GOD only knows when the wait is goign to be over.

I hope things work out for everyone.
