The reporter doesn't know what he/she is talking about. I have seen a lot of inaccurate information coming from Indian media about visa increases but this has to be the worst one. It not only claims that the visa increase amendment has passed in the Senate but also that minimum wage bill is yet to be considered by the house. This bill was passed by the house in the first 100 hour marathon.
I don't know from where this reporter gets his information from .. may be from immigration-law.com. :)
I saw this in economic Times today

I agreed with you.
Use spill over visa to give GC based on PD not on country specific. It will solve the backlog in 2 uears. Right now EB2 I and C getting spill over from EB1 as well from EB2 ROW.
This is not fair for EB3.
I fully agree. I mentioned the same a month back. But got only reds :mad:

---------------My Old Post ---------------------------------------------------------
Well said....I some times wonder, they should allocate the spill over based on priority date instead of just category.
Already because of the categorization (country based limit) we have such a big queue...Why further categorize each country as EB1/2/3..etc.? ....As you aptly mentioned most of EB2 & EB3 guys do the same job...but the employer decides whether it is EB2 or EB3, even though many have masters degree and more than 5 years experience.

Finally, I received much awaited approval /CPO emails. No matter what it certainly is a relief moment both financially ( savings in EAD/AP renewals) and emotionally.

yes, they do think for the betterment of THEIR country. you and i don't fit in THEIR model of GOOD for their country.
well maybe, but our goals should be to convince a small group of just law makers, who are generally well educated, intelligent.

My labor certification (Traditional EB-3) is stuck in BEC since last 5 years. It is completely beyond my understanding why it took so long for BEC to process my case. Now everyone is rejoicing USCIS's decision to accept all green card applications, but I am paralyzed with the fear of facing another huge backlog on I-485 applications. One government agency sits on our applications for years and another government agency throws us further back in the line to cover up its blunders and guess what who pays the price: WE RULE-ABIDING, LINE-WAITING FOLKS.
Even if I get my labor approval before September, I will be among the last persons to get labor certification in spite of being the one with the earliest priority date. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than suing DOL BEC at this time. We may not sue DOL on their inability to clear the backlogs, but we can definitely sue them in their utter disregard to FIFO procedures (mind that some people with priority dates in 2004, 2005 have already got their labor certifications, but some with priority dates in 2001, 2002 are still stuck). When I read on their web site that they have tried to maintain FIFO, it makes me feel like puking.
I am also disappointed with IV's attitude towards the backlog victims. I do not remember anything concrete done by IV to address the grievances of backlog victims. Now that they have won the battle with USCIS, will they have time to look at us?
:mad: :mad:
did your company receive the 45 day letter that they sent for all BEC cases.
did they give the letter to you , it might have been possible that either they did'nt receive the letter completely or they might be with-holding information from you
what does your case status say
you must have seen that i am waiting since the last 10 years, since their processing is so random that there's nothing that you can do . The worst thing that you can do is feel bitter about others who are getting benefited.
you have to fell happy for others that they are able to get out of the un-desirable situation that all of us are in.

Can someone help me with this...
As per the new rules for indian passport nenewal, you are supposed to fill an online form which would prepare a PDF file with your entries , and then you have to take a printout and submit it at the cosulate.
But the problem is, there are many more questions in the PDF from which are not even mentioned in the online form.
My dilemma is,
What do I do with the entries in the PDF form (passport) that are NOT filled by the online form ? Am I supposed to fill them by pen or just leave them alone ?

I couldn't find any of your blogs in IV blogs!
Anyway as someone suggested can you post all of your transactions in the last one week, atleast. Did you gain or lose?
What is the percentage profit you made since you started day trading, last year, last three months, last month, last week, etc.
I am blogging right here on IV blogs . Check IV blogs and you will see my posts there.
I will try and post watches here on the blogs too.

Is it still going to follow the country quota(9700/year ?) even now they set you current and accept your I-485 ?
If the answer is yes and if it is like wc_user said the approval will still be based on PD, then that will still be quite a long time to wait for your GC for many people here.

Now this is what is going to happen.
Because DOS and USCIS screwed up big time playing loosely with laws and expecting no reprisals for their actions, they will now beg/borrow for the lost visa numbers and make them available for July filers.
I see no escape route for the mess up. Rice, who did not pay any attention to this fisco gave her on the lip casual response to MSNBC reporter.
It looks like this issue is bigger than Iraq from security stand point of view and also with latest information of Al-Qaeda making statements to get into US for attacks.

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 !!

USCIS website allows only attorney or employer to track PERM cases online. There is a way if your attorney or employer make sub-account and give you access to track your PERM application. Trust your employer and ask them to track your case for you. They did same thing for me because they created employer account for themself to track several peoples PERM Cases.
Go to this site for more information http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/
Hope this help.
