I Still think we have a good chance atleast all those with priority date before today.
The economy is not improving and I doubt if it will in next 4-5 years. Even though there is slight improvent the jobless claims went up
U.S. Initial Jobless Claims Rose by 15,000 to 576,000 (Update1) - Bloomberg.com (http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aMhGnVzXaSfM)
No way nurses and EB1 would count more than 5-6k per year....
Even out of the 30-40k like I said before about 50% would be from india and china (mostley Eb3) with later priority dates which puts them behind us
Eb2 Filings have drasticaally gone down because of the USCIS rule
Even after giving away all spill over visas to EB2 india and china they will have a lot of visas pending and If USCIS has made the decision that no Visa will go wasted period then we definitely have a great chance
Again my assumption is based on the FACT that USCIS has a policy that all employment Visa numebrs must be used
Lets keep it simple. In the next 4 years there will be 140k * 4 = 560K visas and I would say out of that the only ones with priority before Eb3 india and China are
Eb1 ROW +india & china
EB2 ROW
EB2 India + china (very limited new cases)
and I don't think the above categories would count more than 150k which should leave a lot of pending visas for Eb3
Which would leave a lot of Visa numbers for Eb3 India/china and ROW
EB1 historically filled and this year CIS said, they may have to retro the India dates, but didn't finally. EB2 in best case got 15K visas. There are lot of EB3 to EB2 porting that will happen if the dates don't move. So EB2 it self will take 4 years to corss 2007 (I only added 25% of the porting). EB3 I God only knows..
Remember there are only 40K visas for EB2. EB3 will use their own 40K visas. 10K from this is reserved to otherworkers. So these dates won't move unless Recapture happens and per country limits are removed atleast till the backlog is cleared.

If push comes to shove, it does not really matter how strong you are. I survived the 2K to 2K3, but have seen many smart people suffer.

Hi Macaca:
USCIS cannot reject PERM as USCIS has nothing to do with PERM. PERM is done by the dept of labor, and this agency is not part of USCIS.
In terms of PERM, PERM is not considered an "immigrant petition" and thus would not be deemed as violation of status. PERM is berely the assurance there is no workers who want to take the job in the position beeing sought. Note, that when you go for a visa, one of the questions asked is, Have you ever filed an immigrant visa petions, or has an immigrant visa petiion was ever filed on your behalf?"
The law finds an immigrant petion only when one applies via I130 (family based immigrant petition" or I140 (employment based immigrant petition). Only filing of IMMIGRANT PETITION would constituate a violation of one's non-immigrant intent and status.
I went for consular approval last year. At that time I had applied for LC. The form had the question Have you ever filed an immigrant visa petion, or has an immigrant visa petiion was ever filed on your behalf? My attorney told me to say No.
USCIS has F1 file. Why did they not reject I-140?

3. I am neither a US citizen nor a GC holder living in India?

Any helpful links are appreciated. I have tried to calculate benefits using Social Security benefits calculator, but if you key in residence outside USA and non-citizen, it does not work...
Dont bother calculating this because by the time you become 65 SS will not be the same as it is today, it can be bankrupt or the retirement age would increase to 75..80 god knows. I dont think anyone can give you a solid answer to this particular question. the calculator does not include your specific situation

Don't you think it's a good idea to post:
Total Contributions Received:
Total Expenses:

Efforts Undertaken:
On a weekly or monthly basis by the IV Core?
I think that would motivate fellow members to contribute more (or less in some cases).

This will expose on what IV core is working on.

First of all let me congratulate and thank IV for working tirelessly to bring about this huge benefit for most folks stuck in the green card mess. I have always believed in IV and its power to move mountains. However, in the midst of all this rejoicing, let's not forget a certain class of IV members who will not be able to take advantage of this recent benefit for all practical purposes. I am talking about the folks who are currently single and will not be able to file for their (future) spouse before Aug 17. It seems to me that the best thing that IV can do to bring relief to these folks is to lobby for and effect legislation to exclude dependents from the visa cap, i.e let dependents (or at least spouse) to file for I-485 even when priority dates are not current. I believe this single piece of legislation (if we can make that happen) will have a big effect on the entire community, because that will free up that many visa numbers that would otherwise have been used up, and let folks get their GCs faster (even if they are happy with their EADs and APs). Can IV focus on this front please ?
Congratulations btw to everyone who will be taking advantage of this window of opportunity.

USCIS is trying to make EB2 all countries Current sometime during FY 2009. Of course "a few" 2004, 2005 cases will still be pending past Oct08 but hopefully not too many.
If EB1 and EB2 are shown as current soon, then the DOS can transfer the so-called "spillover" into EB3 ROW, then into EB3 IN & CH.
Based on available numbers, EB3 India / China will see rapid movement in dates April 09 Visa Bulletin onwards.
What will happen during 2009 in all likelihood is the following,
Almost all EB1 spillover will go to EB3. (~ 25k)
Some of EB1 and all of EB2 spillover will go to EB2 IN/CH (~ 10k to 15k)
In 2009, there will be no more Name Check delays - therefore expect rapid EB3 approvals after April 09.

The United States, previously in first place, continues to enjoy an excellent business environment, efficient markets and is a global centre for technology development. However, its overall competitiveness is threatened by large macroeconomic imbalances, particularly rising levels of public indebtedness associated with repeated fiscal deficits. Its relative ranking remains vulnerable to a possible disorderly adjustment of such imbalances, including historically high trade deficits

As per AC21 rule, it is from Receipt. However, let's put some practicality into the matter. Some IO's interpret the rule wrongly and used Notice Date instead. So what will happen? Your GC denied for wrong reasons and you file for MTR because it was USCIS mistake. If you're willing to take the chance, then go. If not, better use Notice Date for practicality purposes and to avoid all the hassle of MTR, etc.

IV has been doing a great job, we should all be proud of being a part of it.
I came across this post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10316).
I think we should keep fighting till our goal is met. Can IV core team shed some light whether recapturing the unused visa numbers is ever possible ? Even if there is slightest change, we should NOT GIVE UP and work towards it. I've read that USCIS have so far wasted upto 600,000 EB visa numbers.
Now we are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel for multi year EAD or EAD validity during the period of AOS(I-485). Should we roll up our sleeves and work for the recapture of unused visa numbers ? How to make this happen, Please share your thoughts and ideas.
LETS NOT STOP UNTIL WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE!
Agree. Recapturing unused visas (estimated to be around 218,000) is the single most important thing we should focus on. We should also keep pressure on USCIS through lobbying efforts to use up the available numbers for the current year. According to one estimate (posted somewhere on IV forums), USCIS will only use 80K visas this year.
So, what can we do?
Can we organize another rally?
Fast for a day in protest?

just for comparison sakes...do remember that the distance from churchgate to virar (in bombay) is 35 km. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mumbai_Suburban_Railway.
That is equivalent of approx 22 miles. I doubt there is anybody is bombay that drives 35 km one way on a daily basis. But in the US living 10-20 miles from work is not bad. People in my office drive about 40 miles one way without blinking an eyelid. Some drive even more. Plus the cars that they have in india have smaller engines, smaller capacity thereby better gas mileage.
So for people who say gas is a non issue, think again.
Yes, thinking again, my opinion still remains the same. Gas prices in the US moved up from 25c a gallon in the late 60s to what it is now. No one stopped driving on account of that. Ditto with India.
I say, we will not see signifcant changes in the US lifestyle due to increasing gas prices. People will adapt and continue to do what they are doing. But this is theory and cannot be substantiated with evidence. Hence, I accept I could be wrong too.

We submitted our EAD application in June first week and we got our card this week, effective from last week of July for the next one year.
Our priority date is October 2006- EB2 and we are not current. So shouldnt we have been issued a 2 year EAD?
Also we gave our finger prints last year (July 2007 filer) but this time too both the EAD cards shows no FP available .
The EAD card of my spouse (he is the primary applicant says signature waived) I still have signature on my EAD card. Anyone else with the card that says signature waived. Previous card had his signature in there.

We see a lot of these articles every day praising illegal immigration. How about creating a google group with volunteers that will pick up such similar articels and post a rebuttal, either online or through another website?
The one we discussed yesterday was about how illegals contribute to the economy by paying $1.5 Billion in income tax for an estimated 15-20 million illegals.
This was estimated from the 2010 Census data.
We could initially post these rebuttals online on probably a section of the IV website and also send it to other news sites.
People who are good at parsing excel/MDB, csv sheets will be useful.
Most people are not aware of our issues and contributions to society.
Good idea.
What we need is:
1- A document about the economic impact legal immigrants are making (H1, L1, EAD etc). It should include estimates of Federal, state, SS tax and sales taxes. You can also include estimates how we can impact economy by buying houses. Use the research document used by another organization someone posted yesterday to understand how such documents are written. Get some number crunchers and people with good writing skills in your team. There was a google group created by GC_peshwa yesterday. I think this group could do such proactive work. Set your timelines and work on it. You can post updates of your group on the forum so that others know about it and can join if interested. Once you finish the document, it can be sent as a release and also sent to reporters and lawmakers.
2. This group can also work on your idea from the post by posting on other news sites.
I think these are the kind of action items our community must be doing proactively. What we see on forums and websites are people wasting time on trackers, useless discussions on anti H4, EB2EB3, Andhra, spillover fights, pulling each other down etc. Such shameful posts either shows that these people do not really care about greencard issue or are just plain ignorant. Very rarely do we see someone thinking beyond their own case and PD. This is the main reason in my opinion why everyone is suffering from backlogs. It is not the fault of USCIS or government or any one else. The reason is each one of us that thinks narrowly and has chosen to accept the problem rather than doing something about it. As IV members it is our responsibility to help make people aware and urge them to work together on something meaningful that would help the community.
Thanks for taking this initiative. Good luck. Let us know whenever you need help. Others that are interested should express interest on the thread and join the group.

Which country in the world would lobby another country to take in its citizens? Why would India lobby America to give permanent residence to its highly skilled Indian citizens? So that America can benefit? This would be tantamount to treason.
You are not talking about H1B here. This is concerning Permanent Residence for eventual American citizenship. Think reasonably guys!

While I do not want to sound discouraging or pessimistic, this is a very good idea and we must do things like this.
Now, it is just not enough if we make this suggestion and discuss it - we must walk the talk. Will we?
To start with, we can do a lot of stuff, get our co workers, families, friends etc.. involved, print flyers, send emails, post blogs, make videos and post them on youtube, hold local community events and increase awareness.
Our own community is still very ignorant and is indirectly working against us, lok at this post on immigration portal

you will understand why things are so difficult for our community.
Our first step will be to concentrate on community building. This is very important. We need to reqruit more volunteers, and they in turn reqruit more volunteers. We must first build a strong community and have a strong foundation.
The reason I am posting this message is to say that whatever novel ideas like the above that have come up in the past have not gone towards getting implemented they just were discusssed and got buried into old threads.

After listening to both the shows, this week as well as last week, I am wondering if it was worth the effort for IV to participate in Debo Kotun's show. Here is my personal comments about the participants and the shows.
Debo Kutan: He did a pathetic job in moderating the shows. He not only spent about 25 minutes talking about his future shows(prior to beginning of today's show), but also repeating the same information from last week and pretty much asking the same questions. He was more interested in talking about his immigration decades ago and how he got his GC in one day, blah blah blah...Also, he mentioned that he was going to get Sen Kennedy & Sen Brownback to participate in today's show..but that was probably some publicity talk to draw more listener's to his show.He repeatedly questioned us to go back to our countries and solve our own problems and as well as theirs rather than trying to understand the root cause of the current situation. He turned out to be very ignorant of the immigration woes and did not seem like he had done any research prior to conducting his shows.
Swadha: She did a good job of explaining her situation and the difficulties she was facing due to the retrogression despite her excellent credentials and qualifications. Thanks to Swadha for her efforts in explaining her current situation due to retrogression.
Carl Shusterman: As popular,qualified and expert he is in the field of immigration, he just turned out to be very ignorant of the ground reality. I was as surprised as Swadha, when he mentioned that people with advanced degrees can get their GC's in a year. Despite having 2 advanced degree's I am still waiting for more than 3 years to be able to apply for I-485. The people most affected by this retrogression are citizens of India and China, not someone from Monaco or Namibia. He was more interested in promoting his Immigration firm and his website. Wish he had been more vocal in explaining the broken immigration system, rather than gaining some publicity for his firm.
Stuart Anderson: He did an excellent job explaining his research studies and how the current immigration laws are affecting the economy and its long term impact, if the immigration system is not rectified soon. Thanks to Stuart for his expert comments and explaining our situation in a wonderful manner.
Rajeev Khanna: He did a good job in the last weeks show, explaining our situation and the broken immigration system. Unfortunately, due to Mr. Kutan's terrible job of moderating, he did not provide much opportunity for Rajeev to speak this week. Thanks to Rajeev for fighting for our cause.
Aman Kapoor: He did a commendable job last week, explaining about IV and its efforts. But due to lack of Mr. Kutans moderating skills, he did not get much time to talk today. Thanks to Aman for organizing and providing an opportunity for IV to discuss about the legal angle of immigration reforms and the difficulties faced by people like us.
Jay Pradhan: Due to technical difficulties, Mr. Kutan could not include him in last week's program, but he did provide him an opportunity this week and explain his case. Jay did an excellent work explaining his situation, current backlogs and also answering some of Mr. Kutan's questions in a very logical manner, like the way only he can do. I wish Mr. Kutan had given more opportunity for Jay to talk and explain the broken immigration system. Excellent job Jay. Hope you get more opportunities like these to discuss about our situation and shed more light to the general public.
Overall, it was some decent publicity for the problems faced by legal immigrant community, though I wonder if it was worth the efforts due to the pathetic job of Mr. Debo Kutan. Hope we can get to participate on more knowledgable/popular talk shows and showcase our problems.
Carl Shusterman was misleading when he said that Indian with Masters could get a green card in 1 year and then he corrected that to 2 years.He should see the plight of so many people here.
Debo Kutan: He did a pathetic job in moderating the shows. He not only spent about 25 minutes talking about his future shows(prior to beginning of today's show), but also repeating the same information from last week and pretty much asking the same questions. He was more interested in talking about his immigration decades ago and how he got his GC in one day, blah blah blah...Also, he mentioned that he was going to get Sen Kennedy & Sen Brownback to participate in today's show..but that was probably some publicity talk to draw more listener's to his show.He repeatedly questioned us to go back to our countries and solve our own problems and as well as theirs rather than trying to understand the root cause of the current situation. He turned out to be very ignorant of the immigration woes and did not seem like he had done any research prior to conducting his shows.
Swadha: She did a good job of explaining her situation and the difficulties she was facing due to the retrogression despite her excellent credentials and qualifications. Thanks to Swadha for her efforts in explaining her current situation due to retrogression.
Carl Shusterman: As popular,qualified and expert he is in the field of immigration, he just turned out to be very ignorant of the ground reality. I was as surprised as Swadha, when he mentioned that people with advanced degrees can get their GC's in a year. Despite having 2 advanced degree's I am still waiting for more than 3 years to be able to apply for I-485. The people most affected by this retrogression are citizens of India and China, not someone from Monaco or Namibia. He was more interested in promoting his Immigration firm and his website. Wish he had been more vocal in explaining the broken immigration system, rather than gaining some publicity for his firm.

Very good point. It's not worth the hassle to take a chance unless it's absolutely necessary.
come on..once the rule is written it is written..so don't worry much neither press too much panic button. the receipt date is marked on I-485 and it is easy to prove it..so don't worry much..
