Though I will benifit if the OP's idea succeeds. I agree with eb3_nepa. We need to do something that will help everyone. Its not fair to seek relief to only some section of the community.
I am sorry SunnySurya but this issue DOES concern me. If everyone starts asking the IV core for their time just for their own issues, what about the rest of the community?

If you expect the IV core to dedicate it's time JUST for a particular secction of people, then you need to justify that demand.

In your opinion, EB3 is a LOWLY category as compared to EB2. So it is not enough that Nurses feed from it and just about EVERYONE else feeds from it. To top it off, overflow from eb1 goes FIRST to eb2 and then (and almost NEVER) to eb3. SO Eb2 gets a fair chunk of the greed cards, and over and above that you now want the IV core to further drop everything else and help JUST eb2 out? And who should make this demand? None other than someone who is trying to BREAK the community up into Eb2 vs Eb3.

I hope and pray for you, and your family.
Wish I could do something more then praying and writing this post.

This community is of strong people, incuding you, I hope our prayers should work.

good luck....

and which state did you apply from ? Looks like there is some relation to where it is processed (If your I-140 was not already approved before the USCIS bispec III...see my message before )

My lawyer sent the applications on June 1st and we have the receipts already. They cashed the checks by June 6th.

Well numbersusa are against any immigration and they will always use illegal immigration as the vehicle to couch and attack any form of immigration. Their ranks consist of both democrats and GOP. Generally those who are threatened by any sort of immigration. Union workers in MI would be group in sync with numbersusa. So also would be buidling workers where there is strong competition from Hispanic workers walking accross the border.

I personally think businesses have been promised action on issues after the election. If not by now businesses would have entered the fray. H1B and skill bill and also the agjobs will be definitely passed due to pressure from big businesses. Economy is strong and they are not able to fill positions.

Yes .. you can start a company on h1 ..
but as per h1 laws .. you can only work for your employer
So essentially you cannot do any work for your company .. no soliciting business, HR .. nothing.
So what you do is partner with someone who is on GC .. so you can get work done .. or hire employees for everything.

Starting company is easy LLC, C, S corp .. no issues

Eb3_Nepa,

You are quite mistaken if you think I am going to delete your post just because I disagree with you. One of the things that I love most about this country is the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment that protects free speech. I like the idea the everyone can voice their opinions as long as there are no physical threats or intimidation.

That being said, we run the risk of having a thread venting frustrations against illegals degenerate into an anti-Mexican thread. We have had a lot of publicity, and many reporters etc read our forum to get an idea of what we are about. They can very easily read one frustrated post from an otherwise reasonable member out of context and decide that we are a xenophobic group. I edited one comment from Santosh's post; and deleted a post of Bkam's. Bkam's post, frankly, was offensive.

As a side note, I have quite the same frustrations against the "perceived" better treatment that illegals get. If you look at our "Parity" memo where we found that undocumented workers can self-petition for green cards and we can't, I co-wrote it. But let us focus on the positives that we bring and move on.

Has anyone done Landing and did next day H1 stamping at Canada?

Thanks in advance

Yes we have done that in Vancouver ... Landing ... next day H1 interview ... the next day to collect passport, the next day return to US

"Sorry, we are closed now." ???

Heck, no !!! I want fries with that !!!

For that you will have to come from the drive-through.... then say 'pardon me' 3 times pretending that you were not able to hear the person on the other side, drive to the window with your wallet still in your back pocket, and ask for fries to be handed to you before handing over the money.

BTW, don't forget to ask for ketchup otherwise you will not get it.

We too got the magic emails saying our 485 has been approved. It was indeed a long journey that started back in 2000. Happy that it all ended well. My priority date is Dec 2005. I did create a service request early August which helped a lot. All the best to the rest of the guys who are waiting for the approval emails.

As much as all of us on this board would like to get our GCs, remember that GC is just a means to an end, it is not the end itself. Dont make the GC so important that not getting it starts "depressing" you.

Focus on the positives - the years that you have spent in the US have given you great experiences, some savings (hopefully:)), better perspective on life etc. Wherever you live, you can put these things to good use.

So chill out ! Getting depressed is not going to get you your GC faster.;)

P.S. I voluntarily dumped my 2003 PD to take up a new job & now I have a Dec 2006 PD. I have bought a house (and also sold one). I do not plan to allow GC to dictate my life.....

Applied EAD renewal on 5/29 @TSC- paper baseed, still waiting.....

I-131 applied in 1st week of June, got approved first week of July (wired!!!)


Getting worried now!!!
GCCovet

Well that was my guess. Thanks for insight.

rpulipati,
It might not be the case. My i-140 is pending at NSC, but still the I-485 case was sent to TSC.

as july VB states all EB categories for india is current, is there a chance ( or even worst case scenario ) where the dates can retrogess in the middle of month anytime ?

in other words can we take it for granted that the dates will NOT move back till the last working day of july 07

any ideas / inputs ?

BHai log : when some of my friends called USCIS they said they are NOT going to return the Files FOR NOW , i dont know why and what for . SO if somebody receives the files (which i dont think is going to happen so quickly though) please let us know asap.

Pledging $100.

My case file on 06/01/07 but i did not get any conformation
I have lot of friends in the same boat.

Congrats...remember folks are waiting for over 10 years...and still not CARD PROD ORDERED e mail...so be happy and enjoy!!!!

"self-imposed" as in 'chosen people' - as to subscribe to a higher standard to fulfill some expectation. It is not an accusation, it is called underlying presumptions in your posts.
" i did not convey my intentions clearly" - then your comm skills are not much as you have presumptively touted them to be when you shot down the other guy. I am just pointing out, before pontificating, try self-analysis.

peace.....!!!

Im really not sure if this helps EB3 cases. for example in my case i have a bachelors degree + 10 years expereince and stuck in EB3. I dont think this will help me because I dont have an US degree.

Correct me if im wrong.

Hi all,

I have sent the emails to the 10 + 2 ( State ) Senators and followed up with calls. Hope for the best.

Regards,

Not sure if its a BREAK or no Visa numbers...

On a serious note, there have been 4 cases approved today(from other site - 2 cases from India and 2 from ROW). So looks like there are some ROW applications also in queue during this time of the year getting approved. I saw someone from EB2-ROW getting 485 approved (filed 140/485 concurrently) in a record time of just 30 calendar days(Filed on July 26th and approved Aug 25th). Never heard USCIS was so efficient.
Looking at the positive side, since they are still approving ROW cases, it may mean that spillover is still happening and there are visas available.
