Folks,
If this bill text passes, there will be a backlog center for all our I-140/I-485 petitons. We are limited by 90,000. Has anybody found any new relief for BEC candidates?
They are allocating supplemental greencard numbers for Z visa holders with a flexible limit and this supplemental allocation will go away once all Z visa holders adjust (end of page 287 and beginning of page 288).

I think for Indian EB-3s, if your priority date is after March 2002, it is definitely worthwhile to do the conversion. Chinese EB-3s with priority dates after Sept. 2003 should definitely convert too.
Even considering the time to find a job, file a new labor and I-140, it still looks like that you will get your GC faster than waiting in a not-moving line. The recent history has shown that the visa bulletin can get stuck for a specfic cutoff date for half a year. Besides, EB3s have been and will always be of a lower priority just as someone said in other posts.

Dude you asked ALL the wrong questions. Did you not read the part where I specified that they are all CONFUSED out of their SKIN. Its like asking a second grade child if he agrees with the Theory of relativity.
:) I should have asked .. Why the hell USCIS took so long (2 weeks) to screw
our as..s?
And I am sure, If I might have asked that she would have put me on the hold to get an answer from her superior.

Not many goodies this time..thats what all the analysts/experts seem to be predicting.
True, Unless congress enacts a law allowing the usage of unused visa and or increase in available number for LRP, else EB2 with later PD must explore EB1 to get ahead of the EB3's porting to EB2 with old PD :( .. Well, the point is, NO other options except increase in visa / re-use unused visa from past years can help every one here. Everything else, discussed / debated will be a waste of time ...

Eb3 v/s Eb2 is a nonsensical nonproductive meaningless argument. If you actively participate in speaking with the lawmakers, you would know the bogus nature of this squabble. Each one of us has a choice. We can continue with this pissing contest or we could do something to fix the backlogs. We all understand the frustration and anxiety due to the long delays. It is easy to be drawn in meaningless eb2 v/s eb3 quarrel in the virtual world when one is not privy to how things work in the real world.
If you feel compelled to engage in infra and trivia, please utilize your energy for your benefit by understanding the larger debate so that each one of us can employ our energy to fix our issues. Please use your energy in a positive manner. There is no point of this discussion. It is easy to write/post arguments just to support your own application/position in line. Anybody can do that. But such narrow minded approach will not help even a single soul on this planet, including yours. For those of you who want to continue with this bickering, you can do so at the expense of your own time. And when you engage in such arguments, please remember that whatever you all write or post about this nonsensical back-and-forth is not helping you or your family. But if you are sincere and care for this issue, if you truly care for your issue, then please consider participating actively to meet with the lawmakers to make our voices heard.
Members who actively engage in the advocacy effort know when we are saying. For example � talk to nearly 125 IV members who lead the lobby day in DC during the past week. They will tell you the bogus nature of this Eb2 v/s Eb2. Stop wasting your energy arguing thing which have no meaning. Please utilize your energy in finding fix for the backlogs because there will never ever be a bill/set of provisions only for Eb3 or only for Eb2.
Understood every point of yours & I stand by what you said except for the language as it could have been a bit better. Regarding EB3 or EB2, maybe IV should work attaching a provision as part of its CIR work, which makes USCIS determine whether a candidate is in EB3 or EB2 based on the PERM & 140 instead of letting companies & attorneys mention it. If this happens the process will be much better as USCIS controls the categories & applicants do not need to beg a company to throw them into an EB2 basket or EB3 basket. Also, applicants can have certain amount of freedom from the companies.
When a process is flawed, there is always room for abuse. Of course, the abuse might be minimal, but when we see people with masters & 15 years of experience toiling in EB3 category it pains my heart. It is a fact there could be lesser qualified inidividuals who are in EB2 category, but the companies have managed to use these to hold the employees as hostage.
Hopefully USCIS someday understands this and takes control of assigning applicants into categories than asking company & attorney to mention.
Just sharing my two cents. Also, frustrations from EB3 should be tolerated by IV members, instead of beating them with "red dots". Because if we request members to put their time and effort then it would be mostly EB3 members as they are the "worst" affected. I am sure every year between july-sept most of EB2 members will do bulletin-watching & there is nothing wrong in it.

can you please post the article?
Thanks
Based on last week's BusinessWeek article, I have a feeling that we will see an effort to restrict initial H1B applications in some way. That would be a good opportunity to push for allowing naturalization applications for people who have been on work visas for a long time (say 8-10 yrs?). Fighting for citizenship would have a stronger emotional dimension and may connect better with the American public. A direct filing for citizenship will work around retrogression by providing an avenue for people to move out of the GC queue.

USCIS has absolutely no info about labor till the employer files a I-140 with a certified copy of LC. I would seriously doubt if that's the case, unless your old employer filed the I-140 using the 2004 labor and the I-140 was approved.
For your own good, you should get things corrected....the short term excitement may lead to more trouble later...just my 2 cents.
No its I-485 I just cut and pasted the two emails I received, first at 10am then the second at 3 pm check online and the system had same messages. If its true I am having a party wow man thanks I did come to US in 1997. I do have a labor which was approved under RIR PD date 2004 but the employer refused to file I-140. Then again filed PERM in 2007 under EB2 and filed I-140/I-485 based on this PERM

Paskal,
Thanks for an encouraging eyeopener. Now that people are using their freedom of speech and figments of imagintion vividly, let me use mine too, with a bit of humor.
Unfortunately only EB(I) will be able to associate with this, so apologies in advance to others.
It's 2018. Two indians, namely Ajay and Vijay meet in a grocery store aisle. Ajay inadvertently drops a carton of tea and Vijay try's to help pick it up. They exchange nicieties, shake hand and WHOA... Ajay noticed that Vijay's got a big EB2 tatto on his forearm...Without a moments delay, Ajay folds his sleeve and shows his own EB2 forearm tatto to Vijay. Ajay and Vijay become friends forever....
On the same evening.....Seeta and Geeta are shopping for tamarind in a nearby aisle....for some reason (I cant be more vivid than this) they notice eachothers tatto's; one has EB3 and one has EB2..........CATFIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Morale of the story : Lets stop the drama and get busy helping ourselves..if you want the above scenes not to translate to reality....
Can't we all just enjoy lessons taught to us by Bollywood......If you have hard time coming to terms with the above scenes , please close your eyes and go back 30 yrs into
indian cinema....
you must know something i don't.
aman kapoor is the president and founder of iv- of course you can argue he now has his GC but that fact is he is still the heart and soul of iv and runs the organization on a day to day basis. he is EB3.

and few people asked me ' are you crazy? why you are doing all this for GC?'
Who said that, GC is minimum in this country to live a normal life, with out it so many constraits as mentioned in our forum many times.
Few people are always with negitive attitude and lazy, do not even listen to them.
Many families will get benifit from this effort.

Is this true for Consular Processing applications as well ? I thought CPs are filed at the local US consulate (Mumbai in our case). Additionally, I have a question about I-485 - CP filing and retrogression. Once we file the 485, does the CP get stuck in case there is retrogression in a few months time or is it that once we have applied the process keeps going ? Thanks in advance for the information.

Just an analogy please dont think i am against undocumented fellows.. They are definitely facing a bigger problem than us!
Compare the following
Nondocumented vs. Documented Legals
1] Not well educated / Highly Skilled
2] Not much computer savvy / Mostly everyone should be
3] Not have enough resources to advertise their struggle!
/ Trying all ways to advertise & campaign
4] Do not have enough monetary collection to run a rally / advt /
set up a website
/ Have some collection to do the basics
5] Come here illegally and yet have the courage to demand a legal status openly...
/ Feel shy or sorry for demanding a legal status soon! (for those who dont think
this is worthwhile)
Inspite of all these negatives , they have grouped up so well ! highly commendable. I dont know what we can learn from them, only that they are all in the same boat , but we are in different ones .. as some have got gc, some have got receipts, some are ready to wait as they have just applied, some are just not interested!!

In addition to monetary contributions, it would be helpful to call the office of your representative asking them to support the bills being proposed. The representative can be looked up by zip code (5+4 digits format) at this site http://www.house.gov/. If you reside in a representative's congressional district (based on zip code) you are his/her constituent.
Constituent's issues/calls/letters are given priority by the representatives over non-constituents. I became aware of this when participating in the recent lobbying activity. The more number of constituents that call, the more likely is the congressman to give importance to the common issues. The anti-immig groups have been doing this all the time. Now it is our turn to beat them with the strength of numbers.
Please contact the representative when the bills are being taken up. This is very important in order to get support for our issues.
More power to IV. Let's get this done.

Hi,
I came in Jan 07 on F1. I got my H1-B in Apr 07, but is effective Oct 1, 07. My school, NJIT, starts on Sept 1, 07. If I have to maintain a full-time student status from Sept 1 to Sept 30 then I have to pay $5,000. If I have to maintain a full-time student status from Sept 1 to Sept 17 then I have to pay $1,200.
Please let me know
1> Will it be problem if I don't take any course in Sept i.e. I am not a full time student during Sept.?
2> If it is problem then will it be problem if I drop courses on Sept. 17? What will be my status for 13 days from Sept 18 to Sept 30?
3> Is there any college in NJ/NY area which starts in Oct so that I can transfer to that college and maintain my full time status till Sept 30?
4> Any other suggestions about what I can do?
My employer has suggested not to go to India and go through H1-B stamping.
Thanks.

Couldn't stop writing this one liner to appreciate you sense of humor :D :D :D - hope we stop wasting IV server space and contribute towards positive discussion than a travel review site ...
The discussion is getting more and more interesting. somebody posted his/her experience with a particular airlines in the begining and lot of us joined in to crucify him/her for having said that. Then saxena came with his private jet and flight atendents and now saxena is getting rounded up. Interestingly UP/Bihar came up (knowingly / unknowingly) almost as a derogatory remark. Then somebody proved that its not UP/Bihar but south indians who are really hipocrites. In between all this somehow the airlines industry people escaped and are laughing. The final take seems to be something like this; We have chosen to be frustrated and if the earth doesn't give us reasons we will look for it in the sun. Either way we will reach our goals. Now let us make a tally of how many reds / greens each person got and find the winner.
Whenever and if at all I ever get to meet the creator divine I will certainly ask him how drunk he/she really was when he created the human brain.
Anyway sorry for interupting the "serious" discussion. Please continue...

Calling USCIS is not going to help any single beneficiary. I guess this has been already answered by Oh. As long as we do not get away from concentrating too much on "Whats happening with my application?" we are going to sulk.
I agree..calling USCIS customer service doesn't make any sense.They are all front desk people who have no clue of what's happening inside.
