Randy,
Murthy's post sounds somewhat convincing because they heard it from Openheimer. On the other hand Gotcher whom I really respect was very confident in his forum that this category will keep on moving till July. So I have hope that we will see it move few months at least !!! I am keeping my fingers crossed.
BTW Randy, are you SeanD from the Gotcher forum? :cool:
My PD is Aug 2005
Just a month behind :(

Please stay in touch regularly and let us know if something needs to be done.
We really don't have that much time. The issues should start coming up next month. We have to work on contributions now.
Thanks.

BREAKING NEWS: LOFGREN GIVES USCIS THREE DAYS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), chair of the House Immigration Subcommittee, sent Secretary Chertoff a list of questions and a request for documents from USCIS to get to the bottom of the whole Visa Bulletin fiasco. The letter is very interesting not just because it puts a heck of a lot of pressure on DHS right now, but also because Lofgren's folks imply from the questions that USCIS was short circuiting established security clearance procedures to "pre-request" visa numbers from DOS. If it turns out full security clearances were not carried out, USCIS will either need to say that they had the legal justification (which would be a public relations disaster for the agency) or that they intended to complete the checks after the fact (which would be a direct violation of their own regulations). The only way to avoid answering the questions and to make this go away would be to eat crow and start working the case July cases.
This is great. Go IV!!!!

With parameshwara's anugrah, my status changed yesterday(Sep 1st, 2009) to "Card Production Ordered".
End to my long wait and frustration.
I wish and hope others get their card soon.
Thanks to ImmigrationVoice team for their work without them, USCIS wouldn't be so efficient and wouldn't have cared to process the applications in the order of PD. IV is doing lot of things which will help the immigration community and I completely support their activities.
I have donated to IV before and now I am starting a new monthly contribution for next six months.

Show your commitment by contributing to IV. Meet law makers.
This is what I said in an earlier post. Whatever you do, the help is being swept towards EB2. The more you put efforts, the more EB2I gets help. To help others, I also need some oxygen.
I sent you a PM the day before yesterday.

I don t give you red, but I am tired of your attitude. Guess what I have a masters degree, however in my field the jobs do not require one. Look again EB3 is not based on what peoaple have but what the job requires.
Granted even in my field they prefer to hire Masters and yes after 10 years I am a manager and a leader in my field, none of that helps me converting to Eb2 if the general impression is that Bach suffices for this as well.
Or maybe my lawyers are not as creative as yours. Either way stop trying to sound like you are so much better than EB3 people cus you are not. On the contrary I have yet to see you post something positive. Go back to bed and get some sleep maybe tomorrow you wont get up on the wrong side of bed, and finally have some more friendly attitude.
Employment based immigration was created to invite bright minds from the world and also fill the needs of companies who could not find good skills in USA citizens. It was not created to give green cards immediately to everyone who applied for one. The system works based on priority given to the top minds first who are in EB1. Then they give to EB2. There are other categories like asylum or family based created for their specific purpose.
If we are claiming to be best and the brightest having high skills and inventing then it is EB1 and EB2 mostly. By law EB3 is mostly for people who have Bachelor degree and hardly any experience in their field to claim as EB2. It does not matter you are masters from Harvard but by law, if your job requires just a bachelor degree then you are doing basic work at lower management. Legally EB3 have no case if they claim to be best and the brightest inventors. All doctors get EB2 or EB1. All managers with advanced degrees get EB2. All Scientists and PhD holders get EB1 and EB2. So EB3 is mostly people who are low skilled programmers, people in professions doing lower line work or people who despite having higher degrees are doing jobs that do not need advanced skills to be the brightest folks immigrating in USA. There are some exceptions of people who are screwed by their lawyers and employers by forcing them in EB3. These people should fight with their lawyers and employers or change their jobs to EB2. EB3 do not have a strong legal case to fight for EB3 if they claim to be best and the brightest. It is very humiliating but you like it or not EB3 is grouped with EB3 Other Workers that are waiters, janitors, construction workers, Farm workers etc.
You can give more reds. It does not matter. But if we need to fight the system, we need to understand the system and look at our strategy to fight it.

Instead of starting afresh with a new bill, it would be wise if our lobbying efforts for legal immigration adjust to the changing political winds in Washington.
How Would a Republican Congress Handle Immigration? � The Washington Independent (http://washingtonindependent.com/101609/how-would-a-republican-congress-handle-immigration)
1. Based on the report above, the new heads of judiciary committee and Immigration Sub Committee are individuals who view "border security" as the first step towards Immigration Reform. Since a majority of members on this forum are LEGAL immigrants, we need not worry about any steps taken towards border security and ICE Enforcement.
...
...
5. Immigration Voice works with Patton Boggs to voice our concerns with the lawmakers. Former Senator/Congressman Trent Lott works with Patton Boggs. He was the house majority leader, Republican whip and is someone who has (or had) a lot of clout within the Republican party. He was a colleague of Rep. Lamar Smith. He might help us push for the legal immigration piece.[/B][/B]
Just my $0.02
I agree with you, I kind of like the way republicans have been handling immigration issues in general so far. I am in New York and we plan on meeting Senator Schumer too anyway.
We should support their border, ICE policies, but the current president has also set a record for deportations. I also kind of see where americans feel that a secure border and deportation is a priority and its good for every body. We are implicitly supporting, as some are paying 2000 extra for a visa to fund border security!!
The difference between advocacy and lobbying directly is just citizenship.
many of us forget that we are in one of the best functioning/largest democracies, no matter its defects.
Of course the end result is we need a change in law for this, no matter what, and the only way to do this is with a Bill.
I changed the subject of this thread from 'New Bill', but the title is still the old one. We can do this in other ways too, instead of a new one.

I don't know if there was a memo. I think AILA communicated this to the lawyers and I read it on Ron Gotcher's forum.
Apparently, the re-interpretation of laws were based on the changes in AC21, something they were ignoring till 2008.
Removal of country quota in EB catagories (if excess visa's available in any catagory, becuse of 7% impossition) was due to AC21 law. This was a result of hard effort by similar group like IV in 1998/99. DOS paid attention to this law only in 2007 (after 7 years). I think some lawyers/AILA brought this to DOS.

Your wife should be good to stay with your change of employer upto the date mentioned in her current I-94.
I have been in your stage. I changed my employer last year. I asked same question to my attorney from my wife. Attorney said that there is no need to apply for another H4 because of mine change of the employer.
We went this year to india there was no issue to get the new visa stamped on our passport.
Note: I am not an attorney and sharing my experience with you. Please take a legal advice from attorney.

there was a rencent drive undertaken by IV which involved getting a list from USCIS (or some other authority) about where the visa #s are being used, right ?
Perhaps something to do with collecting money from the requstor..
Basically, USCIS sent letters to a few folks asking them to pay 5000$ or so to get the list as it involved some programming ?
Where is that ? does anyone know ?
the visa bulletin is just ...what do you say....

EB3 ROW is at Jun 2004. But as per latest USCIS inventory, EB3 ROW pending 485's are around 48,000. Visa numbers available every year for EB3 is approximately 42k. If you deduct the backlogged EB3 countries (4x3000) visa numbers, the total comes down to 30k for EB3 ROW. So EB3 ROW should become current or atleast Jul 07 in another 1.5 years. If this is not going to happen, it means they are diverting the EB3 numbers to some other categories.
my 2 cents
Note : If EB3 ROW has 30k visas per year and pending EB3 ROW 485's are only 50k.. why it is still hanging in 2004. God only knows !!
I was curious too about EB3 ROW not progressing. The only explanation could be that there were lot of consular cases with older PDs. (Or USCIS chose to ignore EB3 altogether. Remember the couple of hundred EB3-I visas wasted by USCIS recently.)
