    Yes the bulletin is pretty detailed. Explaining logic behind per country limit and movement of cutoff dates. Certainly a first in a Visa Bulletin.

    Needless to say, CIR with provisions to address this backlog is the only hope for both i REITERATE - BOTH EB2 as well as EB3... divisiveness will certainly lead to failure or atleast a never ending wait for some of us....

    While we work in different directions for the same goal, please write to Zoe and others that we can help reduce the housing crisis, create jobs.
    Please find addresses at the bottom who to send.



    Sub: Legal immigrants Quota Problem: Employment based EB2, EB3

    Dear XXXX,

    This is to once again thank you for your continuous efforts in making things move in the legal immigration front.
    We would request you to bring HR 5882 to the table and hence help people waiting for so long get immediate relief. We think this is the best time to do it as there are so many waiting in long queues for so long and are unable to buy houses though they are at rock bottom prices now, or change companies as some of us would also like to, and start new companies and jobs. There are very much needed in this time of economic crisis. Applicants in EB3 and EB2 Employment based greencard category are severly backlogged.

    The problem is mainly due to country based quotas and wastage of many greencards due to administrative delays over the years, as you know. This can easily be fixed with a simple administrative action and need not need to be done as part of the bigger comprehensive immigration bill. We too need a change.

    Below are some statistics and details of the problem, just in case you missed a point.


    1. High technology H1-B visas allowed into US = 85,000 H1B per year.
    2. H1B quota limit per country = None, quota limits.
    3. Greencard eligible candidates = All H1B holders
    4. Total Employment Greencards = 145,000 per year.
    5. Quota limits for greencards = 7% per country and each family member is counted as 1 visa.
    6. H1 holders from India = 30,000 to 40,000 per year.
    7. Greencards available for India by quota limits = 2000 � 3000 per year.
    8. People waiting in Queues = 37,000 � 38,000 per year.
    9. Estimated wait = 10- 15 years per life.
    10. Estimated loss of productivity = unlimited.
    11. Loss of health and health related issues due to these worries = incalculable.

    Consequences:
    1. EB3 Employment based category from India is severely backlogged,
    2. Number of applicants in Queues waiting to buy house = 300,000
    3. Number of applicants in Queues buying a house now = 0.
    4. Money spent by applicants on rent per year = $6 billion
    5. Number of applicants having Citizen children born in US = 80%
    6. Number of applicants unable to start own companies(as they are tied to employer all the time due to greencard sponsorship)
    = 30-40%
    7. Applicants disappointed and leaving US = 10-15%
    8. Applicants planning to come back after retirement who take with them US Citizens who will sponsor them = everybody who is leaving US right now with Citizen kids
    9. Burden on social security and healthcare by applicants in point 7 = billions of dollars.
    10. Severe pain for everyone wasting time on worries and uncertainity.
    11. Many people thinking of returning back, very disappointed.

    Solution
    Please provide immediate relief. We are still holding our bags in hands even after 5-10 years of playing it by law after applying for greencards. Please respect liberty and freedom and let that happen to legal applicants.
    1. Please remove country quotas for greencards immediately to make waiting less for legal employer based EB2/EB3 applicants from India in long queues ALREADY in US for years.
    2. This needs No new jobs or Visas. It�s just a simple fix to help bring joy to some legal immigrants and give them freedom to contribute more.
    3. Please provide greencards for any legal employment based applicant who lived in US for atleast 5 years and is waiting for more than 5 years and paid taxes and live like a good American Citizen.
    4. Please provide Citizenship for anyone who lived in US for 10 years and played by the rules all the time and paid taxes.
    5. This will help people buy houses that are so cheap now which will pump in $40 billion even if 50% people buy houses.
    6. Construction jobs increase as people start buying houses.
    7. Manufacturing and auto industry improves as people start buying cars again due to renewed confidence. Else they continue to adjust with their old cars for now.
    8. A fee of $1000-$3000 can be applied for premium processing which can generate $1.5 billion instantly.
    9. Stop the distribution of 50000 diversity greencards lottery per year immediately. This is bad in the current times, when people are waiting in legal queues for ever.
    10. Issue greencards immediately to anyone who did PhD in US and to Masters Students.. They will be more productive if you help here.
    11. Please don�t wait for CIR to have these. This is a small admin fix, no new visas or jobs.
    Please let us feel respected for playing by the rules. It will come back to the American people in full gratitude in the form of jobs and renewed vigor.
    WE TOO NEED A CHANGE NOW.
    A positive action in this regard will be very highly appreciated.
    God Bless America!
    Thank you very much for your kind attention,

    You are exactly getting down to the problem, we need to ask the government we are paying high fees but where's the service ???

    That's exactly the point..USCIS is HEADED by fools...the problem lies within...the heads dont really care if their staff is underpaid and over-worked..but the fact of it is that they just don't have the money nor manpower to get the work done. When USCIS adjudicated all those cases in 2002, it was not of their own volition but because Congress mandated it..6 years later they dont care for the immigrants..u think they'd (policy makers) care 2 hoots for the the USCIS officers...just take a look at the Infopass centers...from my experience I havent seen more than 2 officers helping customers at a time..no money..no manpower

    Still per my attorney it shows "In-Process". Mine was filed on Feb 5th...


    Visa Bulletin suggests that severe cut-off date retrogressions are likely to occur early in FY 2008, which starts on October 1, 2007.

    So we still have some time on our side.

    lonedesi,
    Any word this ?

    As i posted earlier i've scheduled a teleconference today morning with my HR Head and wanted complete explanation why they aren't releasing 7001. The general HR staff didn't release 7001 for last 8 days.

    The HR Head is more diplomatic guy - he said i'll sign and give you 7001 immediately but if any problem happens because of challenging USCIS via Ombudsman , he doesn't know. Basically he is resorting to "Scare Tactics" or the "Fear Mongering" that we saw in the Billary's 3 AM ad of political campaign.

    How what do i do Lonedesi - Shall i go ahead and ask him for 7001 and tell him that i don't care because this is a absolutely legal and right step to question USCIS if they are not following FIFO ??

    I think I have been very lucky so far. I don't think USCIS processes based on anything concrete, I think it's a little random. Or maybe I am just lucky.

    I applied for PERM in Sep 2006 - EB3 - India.
    I got approved for PERM in Mar 2007.

    I applied for I-140 and I-485 concurrently in Jun 2007.
    I-140 got approved July 20, 2007 and on July 23, 2007 I received all 4 receipts for I-140, I-485, EAD and AP. So my approval came before my receipt. I live in California so everything went to Nebraksa.

    Lawyers emailed saying they also received the EAD card yesterday July 23, 2007.

    Now I have to wait for only AP and Adjustment. And I still have 5 years left on my H1-B (2 years on this visa and then another extension).

    So I say, anything is possible. I wake up every morning and pray to USCIS because they made my life better :) :) :)

    I think, we should try to make a law that says to give the citizenship after 5 years from the day when I-1485 was filed (and not when it was approved). This will benefit majority of us who have waited forever after filing I-1485 and does not deserve to spend another 5 years if they wish to take Citizenship.

    I was also under the impression that Bank need not ask for Immigration Docs as long as I have good credit history and PayStub to prove I can re-pay the loan, but they (GMAC) is asking for 3yr continuous VISA from the date of closing.

    The Loan Processing officer dont have any clue on VISA / Immigration procedure.

    please share ur experiences or advice on how to handle this situation


    Getting a bank loan is only dependent on showing that you will be able to pay it back. NO IMMIGRATION STATUS documents are required as long as you have SSN card. If SSN card says "Only with INS Authroization", then bank may ask further questions but if you are clear, the loan will be cleared. There are no legal restrictions.

    I dunno about which bank is the best but I guarantee this ICICI does sucks! they act like as if they are ruling NRI. and of course like anyone else we had a very bad experience talking with their home loan dept too. Honestly - If I may say something about this....I can say this with 100% confidence that sooner or later we all will witness their demise. count on it.

    The point is that they cannot JUST do this to us(NRI) or I can say it is we who made their success if they are really. but by the sheer power of community like this - we can definitely teach them a good lesson by just quit banking with ICICI. guess what you will be proud of what you did in the very near future. Well, SBI still IS doing reasonably and you still can get better rates though.

    Aman Kapoor is the co-founder of Immigration Voice and is our liaison with other groups and agencies. Mr. Kapoor has been working in US for the last eight years.

He leads the Minnesota chapter of IV and is currently helping build the IV-Physicians chapter.

    Xiheng is a software engineer helping develop trading platforms in the financial industry. He didn't want to be stuck in a position where he didn't see much career growth, especially hindered by a BEC'ed labor certification, and therefore, he joined a new company that sponsored his PERM application in the EB3 category. After witnessing the great efforts of Immigration Voice in May/June 2006, he decided on two things: 1) petition his employer to refile his PERM in EB2/China category, and 2) help Immigration Voicce out as he can. He hopes to help this organization with the paid membership drive initiative. His handle is xu1.

    Assuming that the date is retrogressed from 'C' to 2000 Jan, they start accepting the AOS apps with that PD and then do we assume that they are also working on them or say they donot work on it until the receipt date becomes current.

    If the answer to the question above is 'NO' (that is the receipt date has to become current to adjudicate an AOS app, ofcourse PD has to be current too) then why is that USCIS accepting apps with a specified PD cut off date. In this case I am not looking at the people who are already in the room but am wondering why they are letting more people into the room, particularly when there is no room.

    If the answer to the question above it 'YES', that means PD does play a significant role in the AOS adjudication process when there is retrogression, in my opinion.
