Well, I believe everyone should have freedom to express their views whether pro or anti immigration. However, I also feel, nothing much is going to change by reporting TCS or WIPRO etc. You might get your fingers burnt though. Do not forget the movie Jaane Bhi Do Yaaro

This is what he did. He attached the new I 94 that I got at the POE and which shows my status as Parole till 01/22/2007. He has however sent the old h1 approval notice as well showing my h1 valid till 06/01/2007. He ia rushing my h1 ext application so that it reaches the USCIS office on 01/22/2007 the day my parole expires. This system is really confusing dude!!!

Lot of analysis. Here is my part. If DOS properly followed the INA as amended by AC21 act in 2000, EB2-I never retrogressed since year 2005. EB2 I might have been always �current�. EB3 including ROW might have been much worst situation than now. EB3-IN will always be in disaster state. Though it is unfair to (EB3) many, this is what the law. In later part of 1990s EB categories were retrogressed for IN, CH by about 2 years. When AC21 law passed in 2000, it did two very important things. One recapture of about 216,000 EB visas and it removed country quota in each EB category if excess visas available, in that category. That means it enforced horizontal spill over. In simple example, consider Mexico which is most subscribing country. Lets assume in a fiscal year, 40,000 Mexican are eligible for EB2 visa(and no other citizens in EB2), and millions of Mexican eligible for EB3 and in family based categories, still DOS should issue 40,000 EB2 visa to Mexicans irrespective of how much demand in other categories. Because of tons of backlogs in 485 (between 2000 and 2004), particularly in EB3, DOS issued about 185000 (out of 216000) to EB3. That�s why EB3 was current between 2000 and 2004. They simply ignored the EB2 demand by India and retrogressed in 2005, though total demand for EB2 less than the available pool of recaptured visas. Since the year 2007, they realized the mistake and now (since 2007) they are following correctly (though may not fair) the law. If they follow correctly the law, EB2-IN, Ch will become current soon. Till all EB2 become current, EB3 never see any spill over. Till EB3 �ROW become current, EB3 IN will not see any spill over. Till that point EB3-In will get only 2800 EB3 visas.

good point.
We need to track the H1b approval date and the service center that approved it.
For those who don't know, the first three letters of the receipt number in you I-797 H-1b approval notice indicates the service center.
Like SRC is Texas, EAC is Vermont, LIN is nebraska and CSC for california.
Please include this info too.
what about WAC? (I have WAC.)

It is not true. The orignal text in IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT says "Visas shall be made available, in a number not to exceed 28.6 percent of such worldwide level, plus any visas not required for the classes specified in paragraph (1), to qualified immigrants who are members of the professions holding advanced degrees or their equivalent or who because of their exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business, will substantially benefit prospectively the national economy, cultural or educational interests, or welfare of the United States, an d whose services in the sciences, arts, professions, or business are sought by an employer in the United States.
"
The item mentioned above is for EB2, meaning any spill over to EB2 is from unused EB1.
for EB3 the ACT mentions the following
Visas shall be made available, in a number not to exceed 28.6 percent of such worldwide level, plus any visas not required for the classes specified in paragraphs (1) and (2), to the following classes of aliens who are not described in paragraph (2):
The meaning is EB3 gets all unused from EB1 and EB2... This is the catch, does this mean spillover from EB1 after EB2 catches up (or) spillover from EB1 even if EB2 is not current..
If they have done spillover from EB1 to EB3, even when EB2 is not current...we can give this a try.
Sorry for the confusion...Just got excited and went over the allocation of visas from the ACT

Sorry to hear about your predicament Shwetha. I hope you get the thing cleared soon. This is scaring me a little bit too !
I have called the consulate multiple times and DOS once. They said it is under PIMS verification. They haven't mentioned any 221(g) or anything like that ! But I guess lacking any accountibility to the applicants or employers they can practically do anything !
Hi stuck_here, how do you know you are stuck for PIMS and not anything else ??

Please do not feel violated by what Smitha mentioned. If we claim that we follow Gandhi's path, than we must act on it. Smitha has her own way of thinking and even though we disagree, kindly respect her point of view. She has suffered as much as any of us has suffered in past days/months/years.
Smitha, I would like to remind you about an incident from India's freedom struggle. When M. K. Gandhi requested the nation to start burning the cloths that were made in Great Britain, most of the people felt that it was inappropriate. What can you achieve by burning your own cloths? But later on an entire nation saw the power behind civil disobedience. Even the people who were worst affected by Swadesi Movement (the cloth mill workers of Britain: who lost their jobs-bread-butter because of less demand) realized that this was done to support a just cause.
I would like to quote a poem by C. Rajagopalachari:
Victory is certain, O Mind!!
Away with false fear.
Devotion bears its fruit.
Shoulders we have, Broad and strong, And intelligence.
We can gather what we work for.
Unalterable law protects Our efforts unflagging.
Away then with fear and despondency!
So I urge you to be away then with false fear and despondency. Sending flowers is humane and certainly not illegal.

I could not resist from writing this post-
A fisherman is selling two baskets full of crabs. One basket has a lid on it, the other doesn�t. An inquisitive buyer asks him why this is so. He smiles, pointing to the covered basket and says, �Well I have to cover this one because if I don�t, the crabs will all climb out�. �Why not the other basket then?� persists the buyer.
�You, see, they�re Indian Crabs - if one tries to climb out, the others will pull it back in, hence there�s no need for a lid�
Concentrate on action items and work harder than ever, which can bring a great relief to entire EB community. It does not matter how many times we failed or succeeded, every attempt we are an inch closer to our ultimate (IV) goal.

Can someone explain why it seems harder to find backers in the house than in the senate for immigration reform (even the employment based legal immigration)? If we understand this, maybe it will help us focus our lobbying efforts better. Just a thought.

Guys do not feed the freeloaders by telling anything you are reading in the donor forum. Let these people help themselves by signing up for recurring contributions if they want helpful nformation about their EB2 PD movemement. We are still not meeting of our advocacy day amount. It is all because most people want free lunches. This needs to stop. The 200 people going to DC tomorrow are going to speak for you and me for yours and mine greencard. They are taking time off and spending own money for you and me. Nothing is free in this world. IV is also doing this for you and me and we are taking it for granted. Let people do some good deed today if they want to know good information
Please do not generalize every one... I was a donor member in the past and I also made several one time contributions towards specific events...

I also sent the letters. Just now received a standard form reply which asks me to go to uscis.gov or call the customer service center if I have any questions about my case. It seems that they did not realize that the letter I sent was not about "my" case but about an issue that is affecting everybody. It seems like they did not even read our letters!!
I am sorry if I am wrong, but do you think if IV CORE try to hold a meeting with top CIS officials on this issue, wouldn't that be more effective? Many members reported not getting proper response to letters. Who knows whether anyone @CIS has time & willingness to read and act on our letters? Why not take an active approach rather than passive one?
I agree, We still should send the letters though. I will send mine by monday Nov. 10. Meanwhile, if we can do the webfax or email, we may can have more members participate. just my 2 cents!

Regarding law suit, somebody in the previous messages made a very good point: when there is a lawsuit, that's because the lawyers can get something from it. Think last july, why are lawyers so quick to (threat to launch) lawsuit: because they have already put in half month of hard work and overtime pay (yeah, a lot of money to staff) for processing those cases, and uscis flip-flop invalidates their efforts and wasted their money, no wonder they were furious and quick to action, and that forced uscis to change decision. Now, what can they get from fighting the law suit? They havn't lost anything. And , in fact, faster processing of 485 is NOT good for lawyers: they miss money from filing ead/ap, and they miss money from multiple 140/485 filings (who would file multiple 140/485 if your case can be approved in less than one year?). Therefore, I seriously doubt if any lawyer will have the motivation to file law-suit, and especailly the basis for the suit is not solid.
I saw that Ron told one "so depressed" in his Forum..that we can launch a law suit..against this new interpretation..however..I dont know its worth the time and effort..although uscis learns only by law suits..
Lets see next months Visa allocation for the new year and see where it starts from..I am hoping from Mid of 03..lets see..besides..only quick solution so far is the Visa capture ..dont know where it stands...
we got 20 more days to influence people about EB-3 numbers..what is the most effective thing to do collectively before he new Visa bull comes out..
Any idea Pappu..??.

Whats the fee of INR 155 for? Nothing of that sort was mentioned to me by the consular officer. He just asked to submit the passport. But if you do have to submit, should I get it in form of a receipt from HDFC as I did for the visa appointment or just cash?
Yes, you can only deposit your passport at the western VFS locations only if you are interviewing at Mumbai. In my case I gave my passport to a responsible friend of mine in Mumbai who in turn was able to deposit the PP with INR 155 as the fee to VFS.
You can not give the passport directly to the consulate, they will not even accept it as that makes them liable for the passports.

Plaintiff suggests that the fact that her application
has been pending for nearly three years is patently
unreasonable. She argues that Congress intended
applications to be adjudicated within 180 days. See 8
U.S.C. � 1571(b) ("It is the sense of Congress that the
processing of an immigration benefit application should
be completed not later than 180 days after the initial
filing of the application . . .."). That [*10] 180-day
timetable may provide some guidance here, although the
"sense of Congress" expressed in INA Section 1571(b)
does not necessarily carry the force of law. See Yang v.
California Dep't of Social Servs., 183 F.3d 953, 958-59
(9th Cir. 1999).
Defendants argue that there is no statutory deadline
by which applications must be adjudicated and that, in
any event, the "first-in, first-out" protocol must be given
deference. True, Congress has not established a
mandatory timeframe for the USCIS to adjudicate
applications. Moreover, "'[t]he passage of time alone is
rarely enough to justify a court's intervention in the
administrative process, especially since administrative
efficiency is not a subject particularly suited to judicial
evaluation.'" Yu, 36 F. Supp.2d at 934 (quoting Singh v.
Ilchert, 784 F. Supp. 759, 764-65 (N.D. Cal. 1992)).
However, the court also recognizes that there is no
precise formula for determining whether there has been
an unreasonable delay. Instead, "[w]hat constitutes an
unreasonable delay in the context of immigration
applications depends to a great extent on the facts of the
particular case." Id.
