Well I filed under Rest of World" and EB2 back in August of 2006 when it was current for me (it’s always been current for me since then). I filed both my I-140 and I-485 together. I have done the fingerprinting etc and even replied to a RFE for my I-140 (well my company did). On June 1st I got my company to submit an "out of processing time" request which gives USCIS 45 days to come back with a decision or reason for not approving it. Now after all this fiasco my lawyer is telling me that my I-140 will continue as per usual (since it's not affected by all this) but my I-485 will not be approved until after October 1st. I don't agree with him, I believe part of the 60,000 visa numbers have been allocated to those that are pending and current (so they haven't been approved but have already been allocated). Does anyone agree or disagree?

Thanks for posting 2007 cloture vote. So 53 senators voted in favor of 2007 CIR cloture. If even half of the following 15 Democratic Senators (who voted against the cloture vote) would have voted in favor of 2007 CIR, the bill would have passed the cloture vote, right?
Baucus (D-MT)
Bayh (D-IN)
Bingaman (D-NM)
Brown (D-OH)
Byrd (D-WV)
Dorgan (D-ND)
Harkin (D-IA)
Landrieu (D-LA)
McCaskill (D-MO)
Nelson (D-NE)
Pryor (D-AR)
Rockefeller (D-WV)
Stabenow (D-MI)
Tester (D-MT)
Webb (D-VA)
Look, I am merely saying that it is kind of an urban legend that Democrats support immigrants. But the fact of the matter is, that is entire false belief. And beware when Democrats take over the White House and the Congress in 2008. Legal skilled community is in for a very tough times ahead.
Although, I must add, 2007 CIR was a death-trap for skilled legal community. It would have made life of skilled immigrants very difficult. But non of these 15 Democratic Senators voted against the bill because of this reason. Most of them were pandering to their base to make sure that they are re-elected. So it was good that the 2007 bill did not go through. These 15 men were in-effect our saviors from 2007 CIR :D

That is true!
As for fee increases big companies do not really get hurt, if they need someone and it costs 5K, in their grand scheme of things its not a big number.
Also I am not sure why people assume Big tech Companies want only H1Bs, thats not true, I have had interactions with various levels where they hate having to go through all these attorneys every H1B renewal and ambiguity about their employees traveling. Ideally they would like to get their employees a GC right after they go through PERM. My group had to withdraw 2 offers for Master's students because they won't be able to get H1b till Oct'2008, and we were not looking for just H1B/F-1 employees, but any fresh Grads.
As for GC numbers, H1B cap of 65K was somewhat of a sweet spot for 140K available. Considering not 100% of H1B's apply, but there are other non H1B EB GC applications. So if we club all these and still keep the number to approx 65K and add dependent factor, this 65K*2.X translates close to 140K. Now increase these to 115K and keep the numbers at 140K and no spill overs from ROW for the Point System. Viola!! We have log jam worse than LA freeways, only now some of the cars will never get to their destination.
With lot of consulting people applying for EAD's and getting GCs, they will not be willing to part their hard earned $s. Not implementing H1 restrictions will give a chance to get fresh meat for these blood sucking so called consulting companies, only this time it could be bonded slaves with GCs not in sight.
Ideally we would like to have all these consultant needing companies start hiring permanent employees and put most of the ill intentioned body shoppers out of business. But with this bill these BS(Body shop) Co will find some loop hole(and trust me, Find it they will) and get lifetime slaves through H1B and suck half their earnings rest of the poor souls life. We are scared of the wrong thing, H1B restrictions, instead of worrying about how trapped and helpless thousands of people will be in clutches of these companies. I would rather these people enjoy the freedom and prosperity of India and China, than living uncertain life here and feeding the Leaches of the system.
And everyone is wondering why they are not fighting these H1 restrictions. They wont, this bill is great for them. Its not their 5K for H1, and it comes with hand-cuffs and shackles.
There, I poured my passions out about this issue. Phew :rolleyes:
You will be surprised that even with the restrictions H1b cap will be reached but not in one day or one month but within an year as demand will be there. These restrictions will impact only Indian bodyshoppers who are running just by H1b. Though H1b will be costly if CIR in the same form is passed but Most of good companies will overcome. So if you want to relative number of gc then you need to increase Gc by atleast 50 to 100% from current level.

I applied for my spouse's PIO card (to the Houston consulate) in January, we recd it in about a month.
Here is a list of what I sent:
1. Two copies (with photographs) of the completed PIO application
2. Three additional 35 mm x 35 mm photographs (not sure if this is reqd or not, some of the other consulate websites mentioned xtra photos, so we just sent them)
3. Money order for US $385 in favor of �Consulate General of India, Houston� (includes $20 towards express mail charge for return of PIO card)
4. Notarized copy of relevant pages of spouse's foreign passport
5. Notarized copy of spouse's birth certificate
6. Notarized copy of relevant pages of spouse's father�s Indian passport (proof of father�s Indian citizenship and permanent residence in India)
7. Copy of relevant pages of spouse's mother�s Indian passport as proof of mother�s Indian citizenship and permanent residence in India
8. Copy of relevant pages of spouse's family�s ration card showing residential address.
9. Copy of my electric bill showing current US address
10. Letter of employment showing proof of long term residence/ job in US.
11. Copy of H1 approval notice and visa copy.
We probably sent more than the minimum required, so you will have to draw your own conclusions on what to send and what to omit.
Good luck!

First off i take offence to my spouse being called a "Skill-Less Free Rider". That is by far the most offensive and ridiculous thing anyone has said about H4s. Most spouses on H4 are neither skill-less nor are they here solely for their Green Cards. Infact there are cases where the H4 is More qualified than the primary H1 applicant in their own field, just that it is not an H1b type field or there is no H1B quota etc.
It would be great if the moderators can please remove such offensive stuff when they get a chance. It is one thing to have freedom of speech and it is another to abuse that freedom.
If L2's can work then why not H4s is my simple point. I wonder if we can ask for these kind of smaller reliefs from the law-makers.

Kartik, as long as we, the EB3 do not come forward and collect huge amount for lobbying, we will continue to lurk here for many more years.
Unfortunately the sad part is, whatever lobbying is done actually helped only EB2 I, may be due to a wrong notion by USCIS that all Hi-tech immigrants are EB2. This could be a fact as there are thousands of 245 cases that fell into EB3.
Another bad thing was that USCIS release this VB yesterday which means one extra day to CRY.
I do not blame any one, but ourselves. We do not want to spend money and hence dying in this process. No solution, but cry at every VB day.
caliber, agreed with your comments. I also see here now we lost a buch of support from EB2 community because of one visa bulletin. People fail to realize come october 2010, dates will retrogress because spillover is applied at the end of a fiscal year and not the beginning.
If EB2 community thinks they are going to get green card just because they got current, that shows how blind-sided they are about the process. Because getting current is only the first step. there are lot of members who have been current and have waited years to get green card.
anyway, I guess for the next 3-4 months it will be EB3 community trying to lobby for changes and EB2 members looking at visa bulletin.
It is sad USCIS has managed to bring this split into the community by playing with visa bulletin. Anyway, we will get everyone back in Oct 2010 when dates retrogress.
No...I am not crying and I never did. I am secure with whatever life has thrown at me.

Don't waste time by calling National Call service center. They all are dumb !! They don't know anything. They just read the on line status of our case, which 8 year kid can do.
According to the first guy I talked to, one has already been assigned upon the start of processing of the case.
I just called again and the lady was completely clueless about the whole July 2 fiasco. I will try again in another hour and hopefully I won't get the village idiot again.
For anyone interested in calling themselves here is the info: 1-800-375-5283 options 1, 2, 3 (and possibly 6 after that-I can't remember).

Is there anyway we can work on reporting fraud desi consulting companies to the USCIS so the fraud EB applications can be cleaned up from the system? That may help in clearing up the backlog. These desi firms have sponsored people in EB-2 successfully. I have worked with these IT 'professionals' who can't speak a word of English and hardly have any idea what's going around them. I am serious, this should be considered and evaluated. No offence meant to anyone but those who have had a wonderful educational background and don't work for desi 'firms' ought not to worry since this doesn't target them at all. Thanks.
I understand that we have to clean up. But this is not the time for that. Need of the hour is to fix the GC backlog. Lets not feed the anti immigrants by targeting the consulting companies. Once the GC issue is fixed that would solve most of the problem.
By the way...did you donate. otherwise please

Agreed CIR benefits illegals more than us, and some of its provisions are flaky. But then it raises the EB cap to 625K and exempts MS + 3 yrs from cap.That in itself is a huge relief measure for us. Agreed illegals benefit a lot more, and the dems are more sympathetic to them but the point is we are not the choosers here. Something is better than nothing is the dictum for us.
Let us now stop re-inventing the wheel and re-focus our efforts to make the new congressmen aware of our situation. Have a nice day !
Actually I do have a convincing answer... whether or not that bill passes, we are in a lose-lose situation. I have read the bill (not in its entirety like I already stated). I know that the amnesty section already specified there will be no immediate granting of citizenship, excepting the wording for those who have been in this country for more than 5/6 years seems to imply they would get citizenship (again, the way a bill is worded can be twisted in future).
What I am worried about is, I get the feeling this is going to end up dipping into our EB3 pool... we previously had a Sched A for physicians and nurses that took numbers out of EB3 exclusively for them.
And I don't listen to Lou Dobbs or NumbersUSA rantings. But if you kept your ears open more than 6 months ago, you would also have heard some Dems says some not-so-friendly things about us.
One prominent Dem senator said H1-Bs are not suffering as much as illegals.
Another prominent Dem said this country needed more farm workers, not more IT / skilled ppl.
Have a nice day, anyway.

When you say these are the " ONLY REASONS", you should think twice. If your wife delivered baby on that day or if you had back surgery a week ago probably you would not be been in DC for the rally. So please dont generalize anything.I am not sure if the most efficient way to motivate people is to write bunch of threads with the words like the four you used many times.
Good Luck
you are right. many people had very genuine reasons. personally i was glad to represent them in DC. even some very committed volunteers could not make it. i do not think chandu means to generalize. he is venting his own frustrations at the very substantial number of members who simply choose not to participate...in anything...let alone a rally...
