I think, people used the reservation system to get their degrees in India should be pushed back in the GC line. What do you all say?

Just kidding :-)

:D
Good Luck trying to explain reservation system to the USCIS to implement your plan! How many years would we have to wait - for the USCIS to learn the system and execute it :D
Kidding too!

Have you been hit on the head by a hammer? I see a future Ron Hira in you.

GC was, is and will be a game of Inky-Pinky-Ponky with or without retrogression. There's no way it can be made 100% FIFO without installing cameras to monitor every IO adjudicating the case.

You must be one of those who is retrogressed and is hoping that somehow the Government will remove retrogression and you will be one of the lucky few who will magically slime through while there are others who were way ahead of you in the queue still waiting. Therefore I understand your anger whenever someone talks about honouring queues. It is human psychology. When we are at the beginning of a queue, we prefer that queues are honored and we are at the end of the queue, we wish we could somehow get to the beginning. There is no rocket science involved here. You are human too.

You could be right.

However trying first, through normal clarification channel (if available) doesn�t hurt.

But my friend, CIS has a very very thick skin... So the only language they understand is suit.

I think, this argument is wrong! Legally, any descrimination based on national origin is not valid.

Even if congress passes a law, it can be challenged in court - and court can declare the law as unconstitutional based on the basic rights allowed in the constitution. If we can prove that a law is against the constitution, court can declare it as invalid.

See the Justice Departments Site validating this argument (link below):

http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/legalinfo/natorigin.php

IN US, CONSTITUTION is above, CONGRESS, JUDICIARY and EXECUTIVE branch. ALL LAWS IN the US must obey the principles laid out in the CONSTITUTION.

At present, in the United states there are 1000s of (state and federal) law provisions which acts against the constitution. Until someone challenges those, it will stay the same.

Department of Justice's CIVIL rights division will take up cases related to any discrimination based on National Origin.

In this case, one arm of the Federal goverment is discriminating us and we need to have some help from the other arm of the government (Department of Justice) and the Judicial System, to prove this discrimination.

If we can prove in a court that this is discrimination , that day onwards, country quota will become invalid. Congress has to alter the law then.







I dont believe in flower/food/sos campaigns to resolve this problem...just because it worked once before doesnt mean it is going to work again..have we pursued a class action lawsuit against Department of State/Labor/USCIS for unlawful discrimination based on the country of birth in Employment Based Visas. Any idea if IV core ever took up this path? Can we attempt to do this? What are the costs involved and can we get some good lawyer representation to this goal?



You can only go in court if some agency is not following law disigned by congress. You cannot challenge congress in Court to change law.

Please contribute / Join State chapter / join evey campaign by IV . We have plan to fight for counrty cap along with recapture and some other stuff.

So Please join and ask your friends to join.

Let's organize...

I contributed $100 to IV just yesterday, I did not see this post before.

I think its wrong to let someone bear the burden alone for something thats a shared objective.

Count me in for the pledge
Thanks a lot...We will let you know how to send the contribution.

I'm in very similar situation. My dates were available for June as well. My HR/Attorneys did this long and painful bureaucratic process. We have an internal website which says that my case was �filed� on Jun-29th. Don�t know what the fuck that means. Whether it was sent on 29th or received on 29th? Couldn�t get HR to answer.Don�t have direct communication lines with Attorneys... If it�s sent on 29th, does USCIS take packages on Saturday or Sunday? If they take only on Monday, will they throw it out because it reached in July? Oh well, just have to wait and see...

exactly the same situation as mine. Attorney was an A#%$%OLE.. gave all documentation on first day of june, and the sucker filed it on June29th reaching USCIS on july 2nd.

Priority Date - Nov 2004
EAD Renewal Mailed - July 1, 2008
Received by USCIS - July 3,2008
LAST LUD - July 8, 2008

:D

Only 50 people mailed their package for July 2nd delivery. You got to be kidding. Please post details of your friends as well if they shipped on July 2nd. I remember seeing a post on another thread with speculation of 100K packages. Thanks -:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

My application reached on July 2nd, 10.25 AM. Signed by J.BARRRET.

I am sitting here in front of my laptop for 10 minutes, still I don't know what to say.
I am really sorry to hear your condition. I am not sure of any clause for a situation like this or may be there is.
I am neither a God to show you a way nor your friend to be next to you and help you hold your spirit high. All I got is a heart to show and give you an unconditional love and support.

Gurus,

I have a unique position. couple of weeks back I was told that have fatal cancer and won't live pass 4-6 months. After recovering from initial shock I am wondering if my wife will be able to continue her american dream or she will have to head home after me.

I have filed 485 with approved 140 back in june, 2007 with PD of March, 2003

Please help.

Hey Friends -

We need to keep a track of the number of flowers being sent. So if you are sending flowers, then make sure that you respond appropriately to the poll in this thread. It is very difficult to go through all the posts individually to figure out the total count.

Let us please keep just this single thread active:

Congratulations to you.
Your 5 year wait is finally over.

Thanks,
Sri..

How do you know that people with more recent priority dates are getting approved and you have been left out? You know this because these members of IV share this info with you and you are talking about using this info against them.

I won't be surprised if this will discourage people to just silently leave the forum after getting approvals.

well if they want to do that.. they can do that... wont discourage us from fighting this injustice against everyone in the legal immigration community... i for one consider the plight of EB-3 at this time to be more than that of EB-2... but why are just fighting among ourselves... instead of doing something as a group ??

I emailed all Senators using aila's web site

I am not sure if I am correct,
Although no. of visas are awarded "EB category + country" wise, but spillover is not awarded in same fashion.
.e.g. 3000 visa comes to EB2 I & 3000 visa comes to EB3 I.

But spillover comes from EB1 to EB2 irrespective of country. And reason why EB2 I is far ahead is because of spillover gain before it reaches to EB3.

Even if some EB2 I guys are not happy with EB3 person porting to EB2, shouldn't they calm down as whoever is porting taking benefit from spillover for EB2 world and not from spillover EB2 I.

My assumption is spillover comes to "EB2" and not "EB2 + country" wise, if that is not correct then my point is nullified.

The number of visas are awared "(EB + FB) Country" wise. The 7% limit is on the total green cards issued to a country regardless of category. There are two types of spillovers

1) The spillover from EB1 -> EB2
2) The spillover from FB -> EB

In the first scenario the spill over happens from EB1 to EB2 regardless of category, the spillover visas do not have any country cap or other limitations and hence are awarded to the oldest priority date applicants in the EB2 category. (This is why China doesnt support country cap removal as USCIS gives the oldest application the highest priority and most of the older applications are from India). IFF all the EB2 categories are current and there are no more pending EB2 applications the visa numbers spill over to the next category i.e. EB3. Therefore until all of EB2 is current EB3 will not receive any spillover visas.

In the second scenario the spill over happens between the FB and EB categories. If a certain country has not used up its entire FB quota additional number of EB visa's will be made available to the applicants of that country. e.g. If Korea has a total limit of 100 visas, which are evenly split between the EB and FB categories so they each have a limit of 50 visas. Only 20 people applied in the FB categories but 80 people applied in the EB categories. USCIS will approve all those applications even though the EB applicants far exceeded the EB limit.

India doesnt benefit from the FB<=>EB spillover as there are sufficient number of FB applicants as well.

And this is how the cookie crumbles.

Admins this a great concept to protest, how about making this thread sticky. This protest can continue for weeks.

EAD for spouse and self, RD and ND June 18th, LUD on June 20th showing case pending,
LUD on July 29th and July 30th showing approved and card ordered.

My PD will be current in August.

Guys even H1B increases are not that bad. A lot of our spouses could get jobs on h1b if it was open just now. Ultimately isint that what we want? Both husband and wife working?

I know that it could have a possible effect on the EB but I think a LOT of our spouses could work if the H1B quota was available. I know atleast 2-3 such friends whose wives can easily get jobs if the H1B was open.
