The term "Priority Date" appeared 10 times in last Visa Bulletin.
I wonder how USCIS is able to follow Visa Bulletin, without understanding this term.
I will contribute $25, if we decide to go this route. However I agree with all who say that we should ask them to make this info available periodically & REGULARLY (so that it does not end up like updates on processing dates)

How can you say there is no stress for the person working at home, raising the family?
The poor H1 soul is constantly over-stressed as he is supporting a spouse and a child or even two children.
Imagine how the H4 spouse feels...he/she cannot do a thing to alleviate frustrations of his loved ones as her hands are tied..
I deeply care for my husband and I had lived through some agonizing days in the past when he was out of work, without salary etc..knowing how much he is in pain himself as everyone and everything depends on him, literaly....
We will be moving away soon 'cause we care too much for each other's happines to continue to live in the circumstances where we only suffer ...
I second you on that.But we must keep in mind,we know the law before coming here .Every immigration lawyer wants H4 law to be changed but, you know "USCIS".. they have handsfulll.

One thing I wish to add is that we must develop a good way of sending out many letters at will/as per the strategy of IV core to the lawmakers at critical times. We are 23K strong. Surely we can get atleast as many letters sent in to lawmakers at critical times. If you can't send a written petition to a lawmaker then I doubt it makes any sense to even think you or anyone can alter your fate, in that case time spent on sites like this is for what reason?
Professional organizations do letter campaigns all the time and get a good response. If everyone moves on these issues it does create a splash and can bring visibility and attention.
All ideas should be collected here in this thread.

Alterego:
Thanks for your feedback, we are mindful of this issue.
Studies regarding what is the most effective way to communicate with lawmakers have shown that writing mail is not one of the best way. Face to face meeting is always the best option. If not in DC, we can always do that in our local districts.

I absolutely agree with this. All replies sound similar to me and concerned more about the illegal immigrant population. I think you will hardly find the words 'legal', 'high qualified' etc. As soon as they see/hear an immigrant, do they immediately start thinking illegal ?! I think we need to create more awareness that we exist. We need help from the media.
Done for VA.
But all the replies from Lawmakers that I am reading have nothing to say about Legal Immigration.....they have a standard reply......secure border,illegal immigrants,american jobs.....nothing about our issue.

Thanks for sticking with IV!!!. Its a bit ironic that you decided to contribute to IV only after 485 measure failed, which you were opposing. I agree with your message of unity, but that should hold good at all times, irrespective of whether you agree and do not agree with IV. People holding off contributions, heckling IV, questioning IV rationale when they don�t agree with IV is outright selfish and should be avoided at all times.
Couple of days back, I do differed with IV objective to persue only filing of I-485 by Feb 15. Also, one gentleman from this forum asked me to quit IV...
I am of the opinion that "Difference of opinion" to achieve goal is OK but not to loose UNITY...
I did not quit IV but today contributed IV because I beleive IV is fighting for Immigration issues/cause..
Amen...!!

Based on the wording of the visa distribution law, it does not look like the pattern change is a permanent one. The pattern might change again as per USCIS whims and fancy.
Read the part "Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to limit the authority of the Secretary of State to determine the procedures for the processing of immigrant visa applications or the locations where such applications will be processed."
That's was my earlier post to vldrao meant. This might be a make-shift approach to use up the visas for this year only. The predictions we are doing for next year(s) might not be true..we should just wait to see how things start rolling next month and if something is published for rule change from USCIS/DOS.
If someone has a link to this vertical to horizontal change..please post.

To what one member said; we don't like it both ways. A question to the original poster. Had this been an emergency and USCIS delayed your EAD by three weeks, I bet you would be screaming and yelling at their inefficiency. Yes, the system is broken. Look at the bright side. At least an attempt is being made to fix it. If this were India you would be paying a hefty sum to God knows how many people to get something as simple as a birth certificate. And let me ask you one other question. When was the last time you picked up a phone and called your local MLA hoping that he or she will resolve the water problem in your area? Again, you would be paying decent money and runaround the MLA's private secretary to get ten minutes on the MLA's calendar.
So dude, put-up or shut-up. Things are changing and if you want it any faster then you should give up your day job and dedicate yourself to the cause.
Enough said..

I have an EB3 app from Oct 02. One more PERM filed 2 months back. My wife has an approved EB3 140 waiting to file 485.
We have canadian PR cards. We have decided to move to Canada in Oct. We may come back here once numbers are available to file for 485 or im thinking of becoming a canadian citizen. who knows t'row some bright guy in Congress may create a rule saying Canadian citizens are exempt from visa numbers :)

Hello PAL
I also came to Toronto in 2007. I was a F1->H1B tired of the H1B dance through stamping,
body shopper etc. I came in 2007, did MBA at U of T....doing well now. Yes Canada is tough job market but eventually it is working out....but hey US under H1B is tougher and worse. I never regret the decision. If I have to take the decision again, I will take the same decision.
One thing for sure...I am definitely better than US H1B mess, changing place to place like nomads for projects and yes better than the 1.5 typical travel to work on jammed roads in India or hour long travel in Mumbai locals.
I think of working in US in future but never under the mess of H1B body shopper. I will try TN1 visa (now 3 years). I am not against working on H1B but not under the desperate terms that one has to typically do if one has Indian passport. The way i see is that skilled immigration to US is over under Eb2-I/Eb3-I. A lot of people have yet to accept the reality.
Go_guy when did you come to US, When did you go to Canada (Toronto).Which job are you doing now in Toronto?

My wife never been to US and I am married for 2 years now. I have been filing my return as Single.
Last week I talked to IRS and they said I can apply for her ITIN without her being present in US. The condition of visiting US applied to other dependents and not for the spouse. She has to sign my tax return though that I have to mail it to her and she will mail it back to me with her signature.
Not sure how true is that and I don't know if I should give it a try or not.
Thanks.
Yes, that is correct. In fact spouse, child or anyone else, who you are claiming as dependent needs an ITIN, it does not matter where they live, or if they ever visited US, or have any visa to visit US.

I think I-485 filing clause is needed. Please note that the USCIS is not staffed enough. So there is a high possibility that the priority date retrogression will continue even if all the current provisions included in the Frist bill is passed. They will retain the retrogression in order to control the number of applications. In such a scenario, it is important for us to try and introduce the I-485 clause, so that people could get their EAD while they wait for USCIS to clear the mess. My 2 cents.
if this presesnt clauses r there..i think its enuf for us to et the dates current...recapturing unused visas and increasing visa numbers

What we get
1. We get number of EB2,EB3 Primary and EB2,EB3 Dependent applications.
2. From the wordings, I won't be suprized if they give a summarized number from 2001.
But if someone else requested this info broken into PD buckets by month and Year, then I think we need to use that. The letter I sent had that wording, but I never received any response yet.
Here is what we don't get
1. Break up by country - Helps folks in EB3 as ROW is not current
2. Some might have not applied for AOS for various reason like their I140 is still pending, Some companies mandate that. - This could be a small percentage
3. Break-up by PD month& year
More insight is welcome.. Pre-adjudicated cases are not approved cases. So they can't eliminate them..
I have received a response on my request last year to USCIS for information on number of AOS applications pending. Here it is:
