Any realistic numbers how many EB3 India pending cases are there with PDs in each of 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 ...
Anyone know any links, USCIS keeps on posting some data all the time.
I can tell you there are roughly 100,000 labor applications filed (50,000 EB3) between Aug 2003 and Dec 2003 for EB India category. The reason was everybody wanted to clear thru regular process before PERM takes over. Those Labors filed after Aug 2003 and before PERM started are moved into backlog and are fully cleary last 4 th quarter. And so 90% of those EB3s may be still there (45,000) hanging. EB2s could have been cleared substantially till Dec 2003. It is all my guess work and not sceintific or factual.

I know we have members from Britain
I hope Franklin is there. Please convey my personal feeling that I consider him (+ all non-indians) to be an integral part of IV.
It would be great if we can showcase a multicultural group
I don't know how many IVer's can comprehend multiculturalism!
PS: As far as msyedy, he left but now my ID has a red flag. It is no fun to be a lightening rod for anti-immigrants, is it?
It was a very crafty/slick move on your part. I was very impressed. Not to mention: I am ecstatic that it is working.
msyedy's legacy continues!

Another reason was IV was relying on skil bill but when point system is used Skil bill does not fit into it. They threw it away. Also skil bill was asking exemptions for MS and STEM apart from increase in numbers(Congress never gave exemption from Cap except spouses of citizens). It might be better with just giving numbers so that only one provision was there. I think now IV is asking only numbers of green card and this campaign has better chance of success(atleast some increase in numbers). But if we focus multiple things(Involving in H1b issues and other smaller issues) at the same time then it may be tough to achieve.
Vijjus, this is coming from a veteran:
There is not such out of touch or education needed to be done. Congressmen are well aware of the plight of legal immigrants way before than immigrationvoice.org dreamed of existence. We fought hard in order to educate congressmen and often their staff played dumb, but again the truth is that they never cared about our plight.
The reality is that this, as usual, is primarily driven by business needs. Major employers such as Bill Gates lobby mainly for H1B numbers increase. Employers are very much aware that H1B staff under pressure can put up and deliver the very long journey of 60-80h/week expected at Microsoft. Yes, Microsoft and many other major employers could easily find qualified US students with two years of experience, skills by the way comparable to what the vast majorities of H1B's offer, but Americans who do not need the H1B would give a finger to any employer who would expect that an American would work 80h/week for 55K/year.
The illegal aliens are being backed by major employers of cheap labor, such as Wall Mart and many others. Illegals also can put extra long hours and therefore they yield more output for less investiment. That's is the reason that US employers seem to fight so consistently to keep them here.
I estimate that immigrationvoice.org efforts do not count for 0.5% of the final result of this bill. As a matter of fact, chances are more we fight and protest, more people will be outrageous and scared and will call *their* congressmen even harder in order to push us out.
For the naive and dreamers out there who are shaking their heads after reading the above and believe that employers cannot find qualified applicants, so just answer this:
How many million dollars per year are the top management of Fortune 500 companies making? The US is not about drastic wages inequalities. This is about paying a fair salary, otherwise we have increasing salary inequality and this should be renamed then to Mexico, India or something like that.

That's where AC21 comes to rescue, and you can become "self-employed" rather than "unemployed." Question is, why can't self-employment in same/similar occupation as your I-140 petition be considered to satisfy I-140 requirement?....
Yes, one can be self-employed for AC-21 job, as long as conditions mentioned in the same memo are fulfilled
"Question 8. Can an alien port to self-employment under INA �204(j)?
Answer: Yes, as long as the requirements are met. First, the key is whether the employment is in a "same or similar" occupational classification as the job for which the original I-140 petition was filed. Second, it may be appropriate to confirm that the new employer and the job offer are legitimate through an RFE to the adjustment applicant for relevant information about these issues. ...... "

You wouldn't have felt that way if you were EB-3 India sittinig for last 8 years, reading Visa Bulletins every months, just to find it still in Oct'2001...And if you ask USCIS what's going on they ask you 5K.
I don't think you can tell if I had felt that way, the same way I cannot tell how you feel, but I understand your pain to some extent - I have been waiting for 2 years and probably have to wait a few more. All I am saying is that the country cap policy is not a form of discrimination.:)

Lets file a lawsuit to get the info in a manner we need:
1) breakdown of processing dates in a manner that co relates to visa bulletin.
i.e.: tell us how many petitions by per country are pending/processed and processing dates by country and category. Atleast USCIS is answerable to visa bulletin.
2) Visa usage by category reporting each month
(How many petitions were approved are pending by visa category and by country) (here I mean just I140 and I485). Adjust the numbers if there are denials.
This will atleast help everyone predict whats going to happen in recent months. One of the heartburns we have is no information comes out of USCIS and we are held hostage to what oppenheim says or Aytes says or Sheela Murthy says. This is public information so lets try and get it public every month.

I have sent emails as per the clear (thanks) instructions. I have a small suggestion (correction). Instead of ending with "Thanks, .... Your Name", I suggest using "Thank You, ..... Your Name". IMHO, "Thanks" is used among friends and family and "Thank You" would be used for being more formal.
I know it is a minor detail, but I felt liking speaking what I felt.

My understanding is after 180 days of 485 filing, even if the employer revokes the approved 140, the 485 application does not get affected if you apply AC21 and let USCIS know that you have changed employment and the job duties are similar. Is it true? or is there is any risk if employer revokes 140?
As per the Yates memo, we are covered once 180 days have passed since filing 485.
If the employer revokes 140, then USCIS will issue a RFE, most probably NOID on your 485. AC-21 papers filed or not, its up to the officer who is handling your case. Even if you sent the AC-21 papers, he/she still can issue a NOID.
Then it will up to you to prove that changing jobs was with in rules. A lot of people do it and get GC's. Its a common practice and is now becoming more visible.
So, just be cautious with the job change and make sure your job responsibilties are as close as mentioned on the labor.
I hope it helps.

What do you mean by "not allow them to work"? Actually AC-21 weaken the case you are mentioning. Since pending/approved I-140 allows extension of H-1 indefinitely, that alone takes your point away.
.
By does not allow to work, I meant, restricted in taking other oppurtunities that the person might be eligible to take. Even with AC-21, one is restricted to the field in which one originally applied for EB visa. Actually, because it is indefinite, it makes the case stronger that these people are here indefinitely and so should not be restricted in employment oppurtunities. Being for a temporary period, obviously one can be restricted any way, like say people on visitor visa not being allowed to work.
When I was on H-1, that time one couldn't extend beyond 6 years, no matter what. Now, case is much different. There are so many working for the employer just on the basis of I-140 alone after 6 years of H1.
Unfair does not always mean illegal.

well you have a cooperative lawyer and a co operative employer...That is not always the case...Sometimes the employers are just using this excuse to keep folks working in the same position just because it suits employer's interests....
I agree no less with you. I went through a very bad employer who made me travel crazily (90%) though travel was not a part of the job and never gave access to vacations, nor bonuses and meagre hikes just because my GC was backlogged and my manager knew everything about it as he did all the paperwork. I did this for 4 years, later switched to a consulting company where employer is very cooperative.
Having a cooperative employer makes a big difference, something that makes you comfortable.
Weighing out various options like Canada, Australia must be of high priority as these countries, though racist, at the end of the day, you are not bonded with the people (you have choice to stay away from exploitation). Though there may not be as many jobs in those countries, it could just be a backup plan and who knows, every country is catching up now.
After 9/11, pro immigration policies are getting difficult and we never know the outcomes of these CIR bills, it is getting delayed now and we don't know how things are going to be.
In short, retrogression will be there and will affect us.
If you can do eb3 to eb2 conversion with an old PD, you are better off - go ahead and do that, if you have a recent eb3 PD, you must look for choices. USCIS clearly know the pattern and the "trickling effect" which was explained in murthy.com clearly explains the way these visas will be handled.
