SmSm,
Good to know you are pursuing a part time MBA. For people stuck inthe GC dilemma, further education is really a good oiption.
For folks around Philadelphia, if you are looking for a good part time programs, Wharton Business school is offering evening programs (Certificate) for Working Professionals. For me it was really a good experience doing the program.

Thank you all very much. Truly appreciate for providing all the necessary web links. Definitely I'd take the extra effort to complain to the Gov. of India and also start knocking on the doors.
Thanks to you all once again.
By the way, I was referring to Embassy of India, Washington DC.
When did you send your application.
I am in the same boat waiting for their call. :D

Sanju,
I did not expect such a cheap statement from a senior member like you. Infact posts like yours creates separate groups.
Please try to contribute towards achieving the goal. If you do not like our posts please ignore this thread.
Please do not call any one as IDIOT..
Thanks!
Look at the two group of idiots here, each one trying to agrue for a specific provision to benefit him ONLY, and finding foolish reasons to support their arguments. Insane idiots or educated illitrates? You deicde. Either way, they are both the same.

The option to file 485 after labor approval before priority dates become current is not present. It is not present in specter's bill either. It was present in S.1932 but current bills do not have that provision. I hope someone brings in an amendment to include this feature. This would help greatly for most of us.

Thats good news. Hope it works. My feeling is that EB category will have more support in the Senate if they dont overdo the helpful provisions (read cap exempt etc..).
Fragomen Website talks about the bill and the amendment to the bill to reinstate most of the SKIL bill provisions. Perhaps, this amendment will be considered in the senate.

There is something with the french language it self. All the people who speak french as their native language, tend to be a$$holes, of varying degrees. This true of the french people and the francophone Quebec people inCanada and the French speaking Swiss. I say, stop flying AF, screw them. It is they who need us, not the other way round

It would soon be 9 years for me to be here in US, my 2001 app is in DBEC. I have been with the same company for almost 7 years, have survived through rounds of layoffs, and so many other personal issues, I can not even count.
Despite this I am willing to stay here and give it some more time.
For the first time in last many years, while my app was rotting at SWA, I have seen an concentrated effort by an organization to raise immigration issues.
I am willing to see what IV does and how far reaches in it's goals, at least various lawmakers are aware of our problems now.
Keep the faith, hang in there, this is a really long tunnel but after so many reversals, it about time we see something positive done for us.
As for the those who say, "US doesn't care, i will go back, US will get hurt", I don't buy that argument, US will not get hurt, despite so many problems US still remains a magnet that attracts talent from all over the world.
If you leave, or if I leave will have very little impact. And even if u go back and start working for TCS or Wipro, they will send you back to US on a project.
Unless you want to start your own business, I don't see much benefit in going back and working for the big consulting companies. And if you want to start business, why not start here, who is stopping you? ok, i know there are limitations on H1 etc, but there are many loophopes work around those.
And what if things change in India? if things are not in your favor there, where will run from there? where will you go?
My point being that we have a pretty decent chance to getting some immigration relief here, IV is working towards it, instead of saying "forget it" I am leaving, let's all learn to fight.
Let's all learn to work to solve this problem. Work with IV, work yourself to get one of these bills passed.
If nothing else, lets's all make it a point that every 2 weeks, we will write a letter to our lawmakers explaining the problem and asking for relif. every other week write to a media channel.
Even if you are not great at writing letters, just write what you can and send, it doesn't need to be perfect.
Eventually, someone will notice, eventually someone will do something about it.
So, for all those who are thinking of running away, I am saying, how about stay here and fight here. Let's stop taking the easy path out everytime, if you want your benfit, stay and do something positive.
your's truly,
Sangam.

I support this, and am ready to contribute $, time and sweat. We need visibility. Our main goal is to EDUCATE people, (and even the government!) that we are the totally opposite of illegals! The Congressman who spoke at our rally had a lot of good intentions, but then he started talking about how "illegal immigrants are also people who look like me"(meaning Caucasian/White) and he mentioned the thousands of illegal Irish immigrants living in Boston, who have a group called "Legalize the Irish Now".... those comments had no place in our rally of highly-skilled LEGAL immigrants! And that was a Congressman talking. EDUCATION IS THE WORD, and we need to invest in it NOW!! Let's go guys! Ideas!???
I fully empathize with everyone in this forum languishing in the visa backlog - i am in the same boat myself. But I don't understand the impulse to talk down the illegals who are in a much much worse position than we are in! it would help a lot to refrain from taking unnecessary digs at people who do the thankless menial jobs no one else does. the anti-immigrant machine is very very sophisticated with millions of dollars and foot soldiers at their disposal - fudging the difference between legals/illegals when it suits them and scuttling any reforms to ease the ugly & racist eb backlogs in the background. IV has done a commendable job so far in taking it on in a dignified way with Mahatma Gandhi style protests and rallies - please don't taint it with unnecessary digs at the illegals - they are as deserving of a fair shot at the american dream as we are. that said, i fully support kicking everyone in the butt and getting something done to eliminate the backlog - even well publicized volunteering may help apart from another rally

Yes, I used to say like this five years back when I had time and age in my hand. I assume you are in early or mid 20's. I will put it differently for you.
Assume there is a big pond which starts from 1 feet and gradually increases up to 100 feet. People with one year work experience steps 0.5 feet. There are life jackets(GC) floating around the pool and whoever is lucky is picking it up. There are guys like me who are already in 5th-6th feet deep without finding the lifejacket, but we are sure if we go further, may be 3-4 feet more we WILL find it. There are guys who are lucky to find a life jacket at 1,2,3 feet also and happily float to the shore passing us. The fifth feet guy is practically seeing how the 6th and 7th feet guys are struggling. May be they are seeing some one in 8 feet to 10 feet. Now a big Tsunami (retrogression) comes and drags all the jackets 20 feet down further. These guys are dejected and some of these guys even pull their spouse/kids in one hand when they float/swim.
Dont forget, it takes one year to step 0.5 feet. Every year the pond management drops a fixed number of jackets. These guys keeps their hope alive based on the above fact. But these guys are seeing some kids passing in motorboat(LC Substitution) paying that guy 10K and getting a life jacket. Hmm pain, but even if I had a chance I would have also done it.
Now comes your saying. When the deepest s...t guys talks about their fate down the line and how to take their family safe ashore, a guy at 0.5/1 feet shouts saying "Dont give up, it is like deciding to take a sanyas because you are tired of dealing with social issues".
If you are in 5+ feet, I take your statment. Otherwise, you will not understand what I am trying to say until you reach 5+ feet without finding a life jacket and also pulling your family in one hand and seeing your seniors struggling more in 8+ feet. :)
NOTE: BTW, no offense. I thought to express what I am saying in different way. I understand what you meant. Cheers.
I am in my late 20's and am going to finish my 7th year next month...you decide how many feet of water I am in..:rolleyes: Meanwhile I totally understand your argument that the situation is the most frustrating for people who have been here the longest. I'd say sharpen you swimming skills and then it wouldn't matter how deep the water is or how tall you are....I's say stick with it and endure hardship if you value the end result (GC ofcourse). Even if you decide to go back...whatever your age/experience be...never forget its never too late..Gandhi was 46 years old when he returned to India from SA after spending 22 years there..Still wasn't too late for him to start a revolution now... or was it ?:)
May be you might also want to change your handle...GCby3000 doesn't sound that optimistic

Franklin, yes, Ombudsman report includes ALL I-485 numbers, plus ALL naturalizations. Among all of them EBs are a small number.
What I was trying to understnd by running the numbers, where does the "leacky bucket" go over time. Imagine EB category as a leacky bucket - new workers on H1Bs are getitng their documents done, that goes to adds, and approvals are being given out, that goes to substracts. If the expected new petititons being ready are more than 140K, the total bucket will grow. If it is less, it will shrink. What I am basically saying, it is between 10K and 20K less adds than deletes, so the backlog should shrink over time (not tomorrow, of course). And it will start shrinking from EB3 ROW, because that is where the unused numbers end up. By watching EB3 ROW number we should be able to tell how fast the pool is shrinking.
Also, in the concept of the leaky bucket, it becomes essential not to lose any numbers, this is why 10K lost numbers a year is unacceptable. Personally, I think advocating number recapture is a waste of time (better off advocating quota increases), but we should be vigilant about CIS not losing numbers going forward.
Efficiency of precessing, in my opinion, is not an issue at all, at least on the USCIS side. FBI is a different story, but even for them, it is rare that cases are stuck for more than two years. Retrogression is the real culpit - being stuck in retro for 5 years is not unusual, and this is a whole lot worse than namecheck. By the way, because naturalizations are also subject to namechecks, there is enough outrage out there that I think namecheck issue will be solved in the next year or so.
