Is there a USCIS URL/publication that explains the following? Thanks.
These should be USCIS rules like IRS rules. Everyone should be entitled to see them like IRS rules.
If you have 140K visas, how many go to
EB1
EB2 ROW, EB2 India, EB2 China, EB2 phillipines
EB3 ROW, EB3 Indian, EB3 China, EB3 Phillipines?
What happens with EB1 has unused visas? How do they flow?
What happens with EB2 has unused visas? Where do they go?

But how can that be unless we r mistaken about the category EB1 may be.
How can there be RD/NDs of 2008 as far as I remember only 15 or 30 days of July were open for filing I-485 after that dates had retrogressed......
If what u're saying is true...the whole process is as random as possible....

It is a simple logic, when the cake gets cut it rolls down to all the people in line. If there is no cake, whats the point of arguing who is ahead in line?
Well said. We see the community fighting with no cake in hand.
Chanduv23 First - let me say I respect your outstanding and active contribution on this forum very much. Having said that, I'd say, you both conveniently missed the point in my post.
I am not arguing about who is ahead in the line to get the non-existent cake - please read my post once again and point it out to me where I said anything in such regard..
Frustration comes from the point that all the discussions take tone that all IV efforts are to help EB2 category alone. It is becoming frustrating for EB3s to keep reading posts and participating in actions when everyone keeps portraying IV effort as EB2 only effort.
I'd request you both to please read my post again.
All I have said is that message need to be made stronger that IV effort is for all EB community.
By responding with who's ahead in line type of comment you both are just ignoring the situation that already exists as of today on this forum wrt EB categories. I'd venture to say that if at all you're making that feel of eb3 left out even worse than it already it.
Apologize if I have offended anyone and will gladly take that red dot for speaking out my mind.
As far as the lawsuit is concerned, just like all the other IV efforts, I'd gladly participate in it.
Another possibility should also be investigated and that is re. selective enforcement of zeigler memo by some DOLs.

Can we propose a bill which would give us - the honest, sincere, law abiding aliens - a time bound path to Green Card and Citizenship?
Political parties only talk and seem to be interested in giving illegals a time bound path to citizenship? They even introduced a "Dream Act" in favour their children. Why should we / our children be sidelined?
Can we request for a bill which would:
1.Grant GC to all EB 2 / 3 class pimary applicants who have completed 8 years of continuous stay in the USA without any criminal record.
2. Provide Citizeship to all EB primary applicants who have completed 12 years of continuous stay without any criminal record
Note:
When the primary applicant is issued a GC / Citizenship, the dependents (spouse and kids) should get the same benefit.
The current system is designed to favour ONLY the employers and the law firms, not the humble, hard working EB class slave who toils.
I think we shud first understand the difference between legislation and amending constitution. What you are suggesting requires amending or re-writing part of fourteenth Amendment of constitution to grant citizenship based on the x number of years of legal stay without going through the process of first getting the permanent resident status. And any attempt to amend the constitution is highly unlikely. Similarly the process of getting GC also falls under this category instead in contrast you can fix the issues more justly through legislation/congressional action which is more realistic to fix the broken immigration system like the visa recapture or removing per country quota or allowing someone to file 485 without thier dates being current etc etc., and that is what IV is working on and is more doable. Pappu or someone from IV, pls correct me if I am wrong.
when getting this through mere legislation itself is such a big task with so much of time, resources, money involved for lobbying imagine asking them to amend the constitution is highly unrealistic.
bottom line work with IV and or come up with ideas that can be resolved via legislation instead of repealing 14th amendment of the constitution. Unless someone here thinks that this can be just implemented via legislation then pls enlighten me....

1. they have country limit for diversification. >> us(culprit) immigration is broken.
2. substitution labor >> desi employers(culprit) sold it.
3. my employer did not file for GC because layoffs couple of years back. >> general public are culprit. they caused our employer to get loss.
4.other employers filed GC for other people. >> other employers are culprit. they filed GC to retain their employers.
5.EB2 category : if they do not exist, I would have got spillover visas.
6.EB1 employers : employers are filing in EB1 category for the same skill set as mine
7.EB2 employers: employers are filing in EB2 for the same skill set as mine.
8.Dollar : Seriously. Dollar is a culprit. Last year Dollar value is less. So many foreigners are able to afford dollar and they filed for investor visa. Without that I would have got spillover visas
9.140 portability : many people are porting 140, PD from previous employer to new employer. They are able to retain old priority dates than me.
Any others??
How can I get GC with all these things.
Folks, this is for your information. not for the argument.
just kidding. :)
How about stopping the disscussions which divides the community.
I can understand the frustration of long wait for GC. The fight is for immigrant and non immigrant visas. Everyone(individuals like you and me), desi employers, desi MNCs, american companies wants to play by rules. The system is not fair. thats the reality.

Please DO NOT post the video on Youtube. I fail to understand what good is the video going to do - its another matter to post the nanny's pics and probably on Sulekha or other sites - I'm still not able to convince myself if that will be required now that law authorities are involved - but the idea to post the actual video - what the hell is this - dont know what folks were thinking when they asked you to do so.
Will pray for you and your family - May everything work out better for you folks going forward.

BijalRs - Contributed $50 just now.
Com'on guys. I make less than $1000 per paycheck (< 30K per year) and yet I am willing to part with $50 to support IV. I am sure many of you make at least twice my salary.
Please contribute to IV and help yourselves in obtaining your GCs faster than the projected 10-12 year current wait time due to retrogression.
BrijalRs,
Beleive me , we have lot of people in the same boat like you and let me tell them that if we as a forum can get to our goals, we will make more than double a year than what we make today.... I am sure you will make more than 90K if you get GC ... I have seen lot of my friends who had offers go past under the nose just becuase they didn't had a GC....
I sincerely thank you for the donation. God bless you

Thunderbold, Sorry for your situation. Here is my observation/suggestion.
Being an immigrant you have broken the law by hiring someone to work illegally. Didn't you and your wife break the law?
You have already witnessed a child abuse and now pondering whether to report this to a law enforcement or not. Again you are breaking the law by not reporting a child abuse. Remember, abetting a crime is also a crime.
This country has given us so much including good wealth and health(except GC) and we enjoy every thing, but in return what we do is to do these kind of illegal activities.
This country let us and our spouse to work, make hell lot of money. I am not saying we are making easy money, but after having two incomes, we run around with coupons and look for cheap things or do things that are cheap. WHY?
What are we going to do with that money man? This is nothing but a greediness.
Anyway, your child has gone thru a nightmare and as a parent/father you MUST report this to a law enforcement office. You can not let this child abuser go scot-free.
Note: When you can hire a nanny that is legal/citizen for $350/week, then why did you hire someone illegal?
Thats absolutely correct.
And we are sending letters to USCIS saying they don't follow AC-21 rules (not law) properly !!!

logically speaking lottery will be applied only on the applications that have crossed the limit. for 20000 MS H1 quota assume on April 4 the numbr of applications recieved is 18000 and on April 5 the number of applications recieved is 4000, then lottery will be held for the 4000 applications to determine the 2000 cases. All applications recieved on and after april 6 will be returned.
This is just my logical reasoning.
If less than 20,000 MS H1B applications were received on April 2, what will be the rules of the lottery? Will all those whose applications were received on April 2 be guaranteed a H1? In this case,will lottery apply for April 3 and April 4?

Well, hebbar, I hope for your own sake you don't run a business! :)
In your "business model", the costs are shared by a few, but the benefits are free for everyone. (Ever think about that? D'oh!! What do you think is going to happen if any fixes are implemented? USCIS is going to say "only those who donate to IV can get 2 year AP, recaptured visa numbers etc??)
The donors know this, but still shell out the money. Perhaps you should appreciate that before coming up with such brilliant business ideas. :D
what do you mean by supporting IV?
If you are talking about financial donations below model works best for me.
lets say IV core comes up with COST of doing X,Y, Z fixes within XX weeks.
COST is shared among wishing to donate. This becomes like a product purchase.
Current model is not time bound nor result oriented.
Again I am not anti-IV or anything. I am just expressing my idea!

I'd be happy if I got a second opinion (my lawyer's is the first) on this issue:
I am ready to file for my AOS(I-485) for the second time based on my employers I-140 petition and would like someone (unitednations ?) to see if there are any possible gotchas.
Chronology
========
#1 May 2001 - Come to US on H1B (California) I-94 valid till Nov 2003
#2 Oct 2001 - Change employers and get a H1 transfer (California) New I-94 valid till Feb 2004
#3 Nov 2002 - Fall in love with an American girl
#4 Dec 2002 - Quit job and move to Michigan to be with girlfriend (Out of status)
#5 March 2003 - Find job in MI, employers lawyer botches my H1 transfer / extension (Out of status)
#6 October 2003 - Fall out with employer and quit.
#7 November 2003 - Marry girlfriend (Out of status)
#8 April 2004 - Wife files I-130/I-485/I-765 (AOS Pending status)
#9 April 2004 - Find a new employer "X" and start working for him
#10 June 2004 - Wife and I have irreconcilable differences and I separate, later file for divorce
#11 June 2004 - "X" petitions for new H1B for me for FY-2005 starting in Oct.
#12 July 2004 - leave US and go back to homeland, get new H1 visa stamped with expiration date of June 2007
#13 Sept. 2004 - Come back to the US with new H1 visa stamp and get new I-94 (exp. June 2007) -----> Fresh start, eh ?
#14 Nov 2004 - Divorce final
#15 Dec 2004 - "X" files Labor RIR EB3. PD is Dec 2004
#16 Dec 2005 - "X" files labor PERM EB2. PD is Dec 2005
#17 Feb 2006 - PERM labor EB2 approved
#18 March 2006 - Voluntarily went to local CIS office and withdrew old I-485. Proof of withdrawal obtained.
#19 June 2006 - EB2 I-140 filed with copy of labor (Still pending) Obtained receipt
#20 Oct 2006 - EB3 labor approved from backlog center
#21 May 2007 - File for 7th year H1B extension
#22 Jun 2007 - EB3 I-140 filed (Still pending). Obtained receipt
#23 Jul 2007 - H1B Extension approved (new I-94 with expiration of Jun 2008)
#24 Jul 2007 - Ready to file I-485 concurrent with EB3 I-140
Since 2004 I have maintained valid non-immigrant status (I think). Will I have any issues with accrual of out of status / unlawful stay based on my actions above ?
As you can see, mine is not a straightforward case.
The million dollar question : Based on my actions in steps #4 thru #10, is there a chance that my new I-485 will be adversely affected ? If so, is there anything that anyone can tell me to remedy/rectify the situation to avoid it ?
Thanks !
My case has some similarities, except marrying an American and divorce, but I was out of status for a long time and I thought there was no hope at all. One of my former clients offered me a job and sponsored my h1 of course. I went home and have my new h1 stamped and came back. I was out of status probably for more than two years. Now, I just got my receipt for July 2 485 application. My PD is April 2006. I'm read people are talking here that when you re-enter on a new h1, your previous out of status "status" will be irrelevant.
