Has this started yet? Where can I watch it?

Finally, its easy to say this, but really hard to follow - don't discuss this to your fiance(e) before wedding about the complexity of the situation, unless she is very understanding and can take it without a panic. Most of all, take it easy, relax and enjoy your wedding.

Good luck!

If I were you, I would discuss this before the wedding. Its too important an issue not to disclose, in my opinion.

That is wishful thinking.I know people with more recent priority dates got cleared in june but it will go back to PD system from now on again,how else can they do it.The reason why (to eveyone's surprise) they made everything current was to clear some of these cases which were filed long ago(I-485) but were stuck due to the retrogression.This is obviously not going to happen again for sometime since they now have hundreds of thousands of more cases.

I think this will happen again but only in the last quarter when USCIS has to utilise all the visa numbers .With the fiasco that happened in July ,there will be a substantial movement in PDs for June 2008 VB or in the last quarter as they will want to approve cases which have been cleared but cant be approved due to PD not being current. So we will see this kind of scenario almost every last quarter. Also there is a high probablity because
1. they would not like to waste visa numbers .
2. USCIS in under the pressure for media to work in a more efficient manner and justify the fee hikes
3. this also happens to make some people from the immigrant community happy ( atleast something is happening rather than nothing is happening)

Good idea. Most of the Bay Area folks are in South Bay and I am sure would find it pretty easy to get to ICC.

All,

I'm posting this here since the old volunteer forums are no longer available. Where all have you posted flyers, info in CA?

For those in the Bay Area: Have you contacted the new Indian Community Center in http://indiacc.org/Default.aspx (they have locations in Milpitas and Sunnyvale)? I don't live in the South Bay, but it seems like this is a pretty active space. Wonder if they would let us give a talk, and/or post flyers etc. If no one has been in touch with them, I could try.

Thanks,
Berkeleybee

Ignore it. Even I had the same problem. Goahead and certify.

vdl rao is an irrational person. without any sound reasoning he started that stupid thread "eb2 India will be current", when I tried to point out something about the amount of eb3 to eb2 portings going on and how this will set the eb2 dates back significantly I was given red dots (what else can they do). The people in that thread were halucinating about eb2 being current. Reality should now set in, there in no way eb2 is even going to 2006 anytime soon. This is the sad reality.

Last year there were only about 3 to 4k spillover from eb1 to eb2, eb2 row pretty much consumed all the eb2 row numbers and there was no spillover from eb2 row to eb2 india and eb2 china.

If the same trend continues we might get 3k spillover to eb2 india\china which will advance PD by a month. Some people are hoping that because of the bad economy there might not be many eb1 applications and that will lead to spillover to eb2, that is wrong assumption, the people getting approval in eb1 in 2009 are people who applied in 2008 and earlier when the economy was doing good, lay offs started only in nov-dec of 2008. Even if eb1 applications drop because of bad economy the results would be reflected in 2010 and not in 2009.

USCIS is not going to waste any visa numbers anymore. That means the last rollover from FB to eb has already happened in 2008 and might not happen ever again.

Hi Gravitation,

How do you know this? Can you please elaborate.

Regards.
I read about EB2 flow on one of the forums at immigrationportal.com. I'll try to find the thread and post the url if I can.

About EB2 people filing is only from my personal experience. Every single friend I knew who was in EB3 with PD somewhere mine filed for perm EB2.

What reason did you give for declining this promotion? what kind of company is this ? how big ? would your salary increase ?

Maybe if you answer this, I could think of something..but as of now..if its a good company and you like it..explain to them the nitty gritties about how change in occupation, classification, salary etc would jeopardize your GC process...i can give more suggestions if you want to send me a PM..

Congrats on the promotion tho..:)

Answers to the questions above:
1. The company is a Manufacturing company.
2. They have 17,000 employees.
3. Yes. Salary has changed but not significantly.

bsnf,
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, it is very reassuring to hear from fellow travelers about their experiences. Like you, I am an EB3 - India with a priority date of Oct 2004. It's bad enough doing AP and EAD renewals yearly, not to mention the 3 times I had to get H1-B stampings. I refuse to apply for a visa just to go through an airport. Next time I will take a direct flight to avoid these ad-hoc EU rule changes. Again thanks for your patience and promptness in helping others.

.....However, he cautions that some checks still will be delayed by investigations, but that that number should represent a small proportion of the numbers previously delayed....

Some WOM attorneys were worried that they will be jobless. But there is still "scope" for WOM.

Requested all my friends to fax..

We can get a employment verification letter. But now a days you need employment verification letter for many things. Just recently, jan 2009, I carried EVL for visa stamping. Now, my DL is expiring, should I ask them again for EVL. It has become more like HR nightmare for having a non-immigrants in the copany. These taylor made rules are not appropriate. When driving is a basic necassity, I could not comprahend why they need all additional documents. Any ways if this is true I have to ask my HR again to provide me one. Hope they do not get mad at me.

I think an original offer letter along with latest paystubs is a good way of doing things.

Wow..
Thanks in advance..

don't you think they will face problems in 140 if their education doesn't match that in labour... its not as easy as you told..
jumping the line part i understood. but the first part of your quote is not true...

You are right, they will face problems in 140 and they do.But you know what, thats why we have lawyers & education eval agencies , if you pay them they can make any degree or exp look like , anything else.
I know a guy who had BSC & got a sub labour , he had got many RFEs in his 140 , I don't know what happend in the end , but what I feel is, some of them can still trick the system.

Hi Group,

Am on H4 since Sep 06. I want to apply for a H1 this year. Can any one of u tell me the procedure? How long will it take for me to get a H1 and start working?

Thanks in advance.

I am sure you will find more like you .. just look around and try to recruit more people.

Driving from CT with my wife on Monday evening, stay overnight in NJ and along with a friend to DC on Tuesday morning!:)

We are a selfmotivated lot with no blinders!:cool:

Just wrote to white house and to my senator.
Thanks n appreciate for initiating.

Where did you get this number 80,000 FB numbers given to EB immigrants? Please show me the source !

Also, you are forgetting about 7% country quota and the demand from ROW (which itself is retrogressed!).

So no matter what you may think, without IV it's going to be a long wait


The other bottleneck is USCIS' inefficiency, not a lack of visa numbers.

If you go thru the statistics of last few years, the annual quota for EB is 140,000 + 80,000 from family other category.IV might want to convince us otherwise, but looking at the numbers, I do not see a shortage of visa numbers.
