Now EB2 is also stucked at2003 Jan.
It took 11 months to move 8 days. When Eb3 get into retrogressionevery one started filing in EB2. I think if nothing comes relief like SKIL \ CIR better to stay wit EB3 - Mar 2004.
I think with in one year EB2 and EB3 wil get same priority dates.
It is upto you.
Hi,
Have a EB3 NON-RIR pending at BEC with PD: March 2004.
--Completed MBA in IT in may'06
Should I wait for the eb3 non rir to get approved or can I go ahead and file the EB2 in PERM from the same employer for a different job opportunity while eb3-non-rir is pending ?
thanks in advance,
GA

I recommend to read the book "Who moved my cheese?"
Who moved my cheese?: an amazing way to deal with change in your work and in your life [Book] (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&biw=1276&bih=580&q=who+moved+my+cheese&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=2733430461336083287&sa=X&ei=uaaOTeqgKefp0gGj-pm-Cw&ved=0CD4Q8wIwAg#)
May be you should move your lazy Butt little bit and do little more home work. Do not expect spoon feeding and you are not a kid.
hahaha don't worry i am...i was merely identifying the various small things that can be done to garner more support for IV...for starters being nicer to people asking questions about IV :)
By the way IV is selling something ...Hope! ...Hope that advocacy will clear the backlog
and it does need to convince new people that this has a real chance to work

So this $300/$500 collection target is something to work towards, but once I am in the team, I get to run/walk even if I am unable to raise the full amount, right?
Of Course you can still walk/jog/run with Team IV at a Team IV event.
We encourage you to reach your fundraising goal of $300 or $500, and in the Welcome Package you will get several ideas on how to conduct your fundraising. This is all provided as part of the Targeted Fundraising Plan. $300 and $500 are nominal goals and can be easily reached within one years time. Of course, you will always have my help and Santb1975's help to get you to your fundraising goal.
Lastly, you can also do this in groups to make it easier and more fun. For instance, my non-IV friend who has signed up with Team IV will host a Coffee Hour with me. All guests will buy baked goods from us (coffee is on the house) and the total money raised can be split 2-ways to add to our individual fundraising goals.

As you already know there is no way you can check the status online. I would recommend calling customer service using alien #. I think there was an option to select when you don't have receipt number.

Yes He is correct. You have the full June to file.
No No i mean Does the date of June 1st 2003 mean that the Filer's PD has to be RIGIDLY On or before June 1st 2003 or can it be all of June 2003?

Alright guys, I cannot tell you how excited I am to report that i got a call this morning from my attorney and my online case status also states that Card Production was ordered for my case!!!
After 8 long years.....i finally have been approved for permanent residency. After 7 years, i will finally, with peace of mind, go back to India to visit my family. Thanks to IV, everyone's help on these forums for helping me keep my sanity over the past 2 years....
After 15 years in the US, I will finally have my green card in hand soon.

Congrats , Thanks for your contribution to IV community, Best Wishes

Very true - anyone who goes ahead in the queue is actually easing it up for the latter. This is Never about belittling a fellow sufferer.
If PhDs get a quota relief, will be good for all of us, although i personally will not qualify.
US Bachelors/Masters holders in a STEM field for example, will similarly ease up the system.
Hopefully all others will see it that way.
If there is anything targeted for any small group...I am sure other will not accept whatever may be the reason. Everyone desperately wants to get out of this mess. I don’t think freeing up the queue theory will help. That’s the reality.
For the shake of argumennt let me ask you...If I get my GC, it will free up one GC in line. Will you accept that and support this. This is the question in everyone's mind now.
United we stand...divided we fall.

i guess there may never be time to write the multitude of stories so here's a little one...
i arrived saturday morning and went through a comedy of errors before reaching the comfort inn that many of us were to stay...was hungry and tired and wondering where everyone was...and then nixstor turns up with the very best home cooked food possible....aman arrived too and after a mad scramble to arrange plates we all consumed it like we had never eaten before...memories of that meal are making me hungry again...:D
hey nixstor...thanks (for that and a lot more)...convey that to your wife please...since she did the hard work!

Wendall,
I guess next time you can ask "Will I hear from you in 60 days?", then you might know if you are closer.
Perhaps we all can use that line to kind of* figure out how close we are lol :D , provided that our PD is current that is.

All my colleagues had house.
I was tired of moving from apartment to apartment , nodding to apartment rules, parking problems, twice brake-in's , small kitchens /bedrooms . Crowded common amenities etc.
Buying house has sure maintenance pain, but few pains give fun.
I donot have to worry about rising apartment rents vs steady mortgage payments ( According to my calculation ,owning is cheaper ,lot cheaper in long run )
Well, I am in Dallas,TX...so things are roomy and cheap here.

I will back you up on this:)
Unless one has studied in the US, one will not realize the worth of the US educational system. One clear attribute of US educated professionals is their superior written and verbal communication skills. Not to mention the enhanced ability to culturally fit in a diverse environment.
If this were the case why so many "US educated desis" work for so called "body shoppers" and stay in "Guest houses" provided by these desi consulting companies.

Enough is enough. I am ready to sign this.
I have 3 real names. All were working for Cognizant. One had 3 years of exp. Cooked up with 4 years of B.Tech and totalled it as 7 years. Came on L1 as PM and applied in EB1. He got GC in less than 1 year. Other 2 had real 7 years exp and got GC's in 8 months. All were working at Client's place and NOT intra company transfers.
I am not selfish. But I am sure this guy with 3 years exp may one day become a boss for any of us.
This misuse will hurt the genuine cases. Shall we we go serious and complaint? I am ready to sign and submit all the proof.
Actually I have heard of another cognizant case. But that was through a friend's friend chain so I am not sure how reliable it was. But seems like cognizant has been following this practice a lot.

If someone is offered a job at a non-profit year round church camp, what visa can they get to allow them to work for 2 years. obviously proof of intent to return will be required but is there a special visa available?

This won't fly because the simplistic model for immigration bills is -
D(hispanic) + D(labor) + D(neutral) + R(business) + R(nativist) + R(neutral) < Enough votes to pass Congress
