I agree with you EB2ROW might have not got 20K visa in the past. That may be because economy was good, lot of EB1 apps, spillover not done properly etc.

But Why not this year? economy is still not good, less EB1 apps and probably USCIS might do the right spillover. It is only hope.

I don't think in any year EB2ROW has got 40K GC in the past, even when the economy was in good shape.

Does anyone has links for the annual GC issuance per country/per category for 2008. I missed the link.

The worst case scenario would be 20,000 max. That means EB2(I) will move to Mid or3 rd quarter of 2006 by end of 2010.

After reading through the forums, I understand the EB3-World needs to become current for any others to move forward.

But now I notice that EB3-World itself has stopped moving after jumping for some months. Any reasons? (The 245i is already cleared and now it is in Aug 02)

Is there any other 245is preventing it????

Wow!!! what a way to say someones ID can be found on Linked In.


There can be N number of people with that last name....Just type "Kumar" and you will find so many of them...I personally know Vadicherla and I'm sure it is not the same person who you see in Linkedin profile.....

This is bullshit and even if I'm banned from IV I don't care...This is utter misuse of IV resources just to prove ones point of view.

I am not sure about completeness and authenticity of the data, But i've found this perm data. Its Access database, where Country of chargeability is included too.

FLCDataCenter.com (http://flcdatacenter.com/CasePerm.aspx)

If everybody can search for their repective years of Labor and confirm the completeness of the data, then this will be very helpful for data crunchers. :)

I could not find my labor details on the file. BTW what does the "CERTIFIED-EXPIRED" case-status mean?

the USCIS may retrogress the dates mid month due to heavy load of applications in july.
However my lawyer just confirmed that
It is not possible for visa numbers to retrogress mid-month.

Gandhi Family has changed their strategy since many years and they have a great success in doing so, turning their family from 'king' to 'King maker'. We wouldn't see any claim by Rahul to be PM in near future. Its a smart strategy. In early '90s, majority of people across the country hated them more than they hated the party, allowing BJP/local regional parties to emerge and fill vacuum created by Congress. Now see how the strategy is working for them, they would be in power again. Personally I like both Sonia and Rahul, can't doubt their intension of making India better

I don't know if there will be an another wave for BJP like the year of 2000 ( half of the seat they got from UP) . Adding new geographical areas for them is getting tougher now as local regional parties are much stronger than they used to be. Congress has a high chances of emerging as single largest party and getting support from SP/Lalu/NCP/ AIDMK / Lefties / RDP to reach magic no of 272.

You wouldn't belive if you hear how negotiations take palce for key portfolios of Govt., after election.

I don't know whom to blame for it but would like to ask some questions -

Do you know how much money Indians Politician have in Swiss bank ?
Do you wonder why didn't have any choice for cars before late 90s ?
Do you know why your cousin/father/ neighbor had to pay a 'premium' for getting a Bajaj Scooter in 70s and 80s ? BTW the premium used to be much more higher than scooter price.
Do you know why we still talk about Polio vaccination in India and half of India's population doesn't have clean drinking water or 24 X7 electricity ? Have you seen a family pulling a cart of half ton at noon on 42 c summer day and getting paid 50/100 rupees ?

Business Mafias ran our country. Every Central Govt. strategy was controlled/decided by them, still does.

As recently Narendra Modi said in Nasik that real credit for getting Oscars for Slum Dog Millionaire should go to Congress.

Can't blame everything to Congress but they have played big role in it.

At last, Do you wonder why we have IV.org ?

Three facts, followed by one interpretation.

First: several members (incl self) have checked with their own lawyers and these lawyers tend to agree with the common interpretation of validity for entire month. And at least some of these are lawyers with many years of practice.

Second: Fragomen, the largest immigration law firm, on its website mentions the mid-month possibility; so while there is no government source, the whole topic cannot be dismissed as an unfounded rumor.

Third: Macaca keeps cutting and pasting from the ombudsman's report in many different colors.

My interpretation:
The mid-month concept seems to be a matter of opinion. Multicolor posts notwithstanding, there's nothing official on this matter so far. (I emailed the state department seeking an answer; not surprisingly, I haven't heard back. If anyone else can get something from the horse's mouth, then post it here. If you can get stuff only from the other end of the horse, then maybe there's isn't much pointing in driving a general panic.)

awesome reply! I still have the color question open to macaca. now instead of red blue/bold/non bold he has started using green also. either he is color blind or i am going to end up color blind when i read the news article thread

I dont understand the whole point of discussion here ... What does the IV Senior Members think about this , The idea of a lawsuit to capture the loss immigrant visas, is not against USCIS, its against the system. Infact the USCIS should be on our side, as per the USCIS Ombudsman, Mr .

Atleast we should try , discussing and cribbing on the forum wont help.

Have you checked the latest news about USCIS Ombudsman's Mr. ? Here I am not talking on the behalf of senior members, if some leaders come forward, make efforts to sue USCIS, I don't doubt about the moral support from entire IV community including senior members.

Once it is law suit, USCIS is the system since it is what created this wastage of visa numbers.

sorry, I love preaching.

by the way I was referring to "the guy who thinks americans think he is a slumdog...." not you or everyone. But then again you think that I think that you lead a life lower than average. If you think you agreed with me, instead of calling it obvious being defensive and, just agree with me. OK? And get that chip off your shoulder as well.

I think you think too much...by the way this is how you communicate in your office. American would think twice even come near to you...Good defence...:D

Please forward by email using the link on the right of the button. Let's try to get this in the most emailed list at NYT. Surely give us exposure.

I hope that this memo is not mis-used to affect the good apples, that's it.


If employer can not directly control/supervise his employee's work and then H1B new petition/extension may not be approved.

Why is an "apple" bad if employer does not direcly supervise him/her but good if employer directly supervises him/her?

BTW, "apple" is not an Indian symbol. Moira Herbst considers curry as an Indian symol. But we can use "mango" if curry riles Indians.

Tomorrow if we or our generations are getting killed in the US, would you say the same thing. Now do you understand why the country needs to care about its people no matter where they are.

"Tomorrow if we or our generations are getting killed in the US, would you say the same thing" ....

Of course yes! If our generations are US citizens, US govt should take care of them and if they are part of any terrorist organisation, they should be treated the way terrorists are treated.

"Country needs to care about its people" ... Its is in your quote ... Issue is about Srilankan's and their goverment should take care of it, NOT India. I don't think any one has a doubt about how LTTE should be handled.

Why should it be a surprise?
How do PoE officers know if he is a film star in some foreign language movies?
Even if they knew, why is SRK so special that he should not be checked?

There was an instance when a pop singer from India(Daler Mehdi) was accused of smugling illegal immigrants disguised as musicians. Point is, if somebody is a celebrity, that does not make him/her un touchable?

So shall we strip search Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton on their next visit to India? They can also be accused of bringing something illegal, isnt it?

If there's ethnic cleansing or genocide happening in sri lanka how come tamils lead prosperous lives in other parts of the country?

I do not understand what do you mean by this? Can you explain it?

First it was fighting between Indian/Chinese and ROW, now there is fighting within ROW. Come on Guys, today is valentine's day. Let there be Love and Peace. Let's unite...

ahh, let us take this one step further, and start a "send candy hearts to USCIS" campaign :)

I think, it is too light a sentence for the crook

hehehe, i dont think the sentence is too light - the US Prison system has so many jokes about the kinds of characters inside them...Hope this mandalapa guy gets a 'great' roomie - Once he comes out he would think twice about 'screwing' genuine GC applicants then - know what i mean??!!!!

well i think we have solved all our immigration issues, i waish if we all concetrate our efforts on solving our issue, if we all try we have chances of succeeding ...if am surprised that we all are stuck in backlog and only 2-3 % take participate in real issues...not sure what is rest of us waiting for?

I am sure both the ids are same person...:D

Agree with few points in your argument though overall it went little overboard. Whisky Line??? Are you implying there are no lines in US? Ever heard about GC Line???????:)))))) :D Tell me about it I havent waited for 5 to 7 yrs in India for anything and not got it. Maximum I waited would be Tirupati temple for 12-14 hrs:)

BLIB

why you stopped at 2001 ......go all the way to 0 for christ sake

Christ is god's son! He does not need a Green Card or any other color card :D So what is the point of making it 0?:p

If this thread (forum) was a court room. It would have been declared by Judge that YSR is indeed the most corrupt politician AP had and pending further investigation all the occupied & grabbed lands, wealth be ordered to pay to the victims. In addition, the Judge would put a life time ban his Son from active politics.

I hope all posters, readers will condemn corruption and blood politics and see US system (for we being in US) as an example for India. No one can better understand American system than us and how it can be modulated to fit into India.

If this was about you being having admin previledges,you wud have been taken to trial for misusing this board.....AH...
