I may beat you on total wait time. it's 15 yrs since i entered this country (1995).
first labor filed 1999 (11 yrs back), current one started in 2004
Arae mere pyaara bhaai,
I am completing 10 years in GC process in September 22, 2010.:cool:
How about that?
Before the first application gets to process, I left the company and joined another company. The GC which I am waiting for since then was filed by the second company. They filed it on EB3 eventhough I was eligible for EB2 for "easier processing". At that time both EB2 and EB3 were current. And it remained the same way till I got my labor approved the very same month it went into retrogression. Since then I am waiting.
By the way, my first company sold the labor they filed for me for $15K dollars to another guy. He got his GC in 2005 and just 2 months back he became an US Citizen.
That is a long story told short....

Will this be a problem?
I need answers to following questions.
1) Can i apply for mY wife's H4-B renewal while her H1-B application is pending?
2) What will happen, if here H1-B is approved after H4-B renewal is applied and before her Renewal of H4-B is approved?
3) What will happen, if my wife's H1-B is approved before H4-B renewal is applied. On what status will she stay untill Oct 2007. Does she have to go back to India and come back with a visa stamp?
Appreciate a response.
Thanks.

Why this special treatment to EB2...

I agree with you but give them(EB3 people) hope that next year we will re capture unused visas either through CIR or piecemeal amendment.
With re-capture EB2 will be current and all the spillover/accross/up/down will go to EB3
and next year sept Eb3 will move 3-4 years.
I do not know much but IV core might be in a good position to answer about how we can
get our provisions piecemeal.
I read that there are 2800 EB3-I visas a year, or about 233 visas per month. Assuming there are about 700 numbers available for the rest of the year 2010, using the data in the latest May-2010 I485 inventory, the calculation is pretty straight n easy with no spillover calculations involved ... here is a possible progress of the PD:
Sep-2010 : 10-Dec-2001
Sep-2011 : 31-May-2002
Sep-2012 : 15-Sep-2002
Sep-2013 : 01-Jan-2003
Sep-2014 : 01-Apr-2003
From there on the numbers are huge per month - about thousand pending 485 per month ... it'll continue at less than snail pace :D

So what, people in other lands can learn these laws and still do some work of
lawyers/paralegals:
http://money.cnn.com/2004/10/14/news/economy/lawyer_outsourcing/
a lot of companies are already getting their patent filing work done by attorneys and paralegals abroad. Wont be too long before your I-485 filing is also prepared from outside the US :)
True. They are already preparing tax returns from India. I've heard of some tax preparers (competition to H&R Block) who have a VoIP phone and prepare tax returns by interviewing the tax filer. And they are lot more effective in getting a return. A small correction to AmericanDesi's observation that EB1 is for Ph.d . You don't need a formal Ph.d for EB-1. If you have demonstrable extraordinary ability which will benefit the US government and people, you come under that category. This usually requires 40+ peer reviewed publications in International Journals in your area. It isn't that easy buddy getting in under EB1 if you think that all you have to do is to be in school for 5 years and submit a thesis at the end of it. And it is getting tougher and tougher to get in under EB1 as they are scrutinized more.

We should NOT be surprised that there is no movement in EB2/EB3 Categories given the number of applications filed recently. We may not see any reasonable forward movement for a long time unless congress passes the visa recapture bill.
I don't think the July/August filings will have impact on the retrogression right away. The cut-off dates would retrogress based on number of applications ready for approval/approved pending VISA number. The applications (485) filed in July/August are not processed yet and hence will not impact retrogression today.

Here are few sentences from Senator kennedy's concession speach at 1980 Democratic convention in New York
[B]For all those whose cares have been our concern, the work goes on, the cause endures, the hope still lives, and the dream shall never die.[B]
You can hear the speech at http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/tedkennedy.htm
So guys dont get depressed, As long as people like senator kennedy / Mccain are in senate I have hope.
God bless America.
McCain or Kennedy hasn't yet proven themselves to be champions of skilled-labor legal immigration. In fact Kennedy has been a critic of H1B visas from its inception. Read up on H1B history to get an idea. So I would not put too much hope on senators until they champion or sponsor our cause.

You were looking at a older instruction? the link you have posted is the same as what
gcformeornot posted. please clarify, the instruction states its validity so we have to use that accordingly.
It is not advised to double file, perhaps you'll get this back sooner than expected and then send it to the lockbox, dunno why they are complicating things as it is there are enough complications :-(
I was looking at a different file: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf
any idea how i can resolve this?! :(

Who will help us? How to proceed? When to Start?
No answers.
No one will help EB3.
God only will help.
Help IV...by doing like in Action Items of IV, donating some if I/you/we can.
I know many of my EB3 friends thinking of apply in EB2. For that they are seriously considering other job offers. Probably they may get porting or not but they will be in good shape soon.
Soon, I guess, there will be many EB2 filings (in 2010) if EB2 I progress like this. If 25% of EB3 people switch, there will be some good for rest...
There will be some help from Congress.......not pretty soon, but after this recession if we constantly in touch with them.
Never loose hope....as you said, God looks all of us.
Thanks

Hello All,
There are plenty of people facing this problem, so all we need to convey them about this compaign, so that they will add their case here, this way we could increase the head count and make this compaign successfully.
Guys let's pass this to as many people as possible. I am trying my level best.
hopefully we will see more people this weeek.
Thanks!

I called them this morning (I had other commitments earlier).
It was good to hear that they are now very aware of these bills.
Nearly all used the ploy "Where are you from?", to screen out those who are not from their district, but politely noted the call in their logs.
It was also good to be able to say that I had already spoken with my Congressman on the subject (because that's where they expect you to go first).
I've spoken with a lot of law maker's aids, and this ("where are you from?") is a ploy that is typically used when they have a high volume of calls. I would take that as a good sign.
congrats on receiving your GC Mark and many thanks for calling!!

They call themselves rich because of bank balances but in my
It doesn't matter what your views are, if they have money in the bank they are actually "rich". If they can maintain the same life style in good times and bad times, they are rich. They can provide food, shelter and health insurance for their family during tough times, they are rich. Unfortunately your views will NOT pay bills, so you can distribute them freely on this forum all you want it won't make a difference.
In my opinion ,this is what is most important. What good it is to live like kings for few years.

We haven't been able to fix this so far. Its time to think of new ideas and helping others.
Not a time to sit on the sidelines and ridicule or joke about other immigrants.
