I got my US Masters degree in Engineering in 2002 and I was obviously concerned that I would be left out if this is limited to people getting degrees in last 5 years. I read the text and here is the crucial part for people like me:
"(ii)(I) obtained such degree within the United States during the 5-year period preceding the date on which the petition filed under section 204(a)(1)(F) for classification under this subparagraph is filed; or
(II) has resided continuously in the United States in a lawful nonimmigrant status since obtaining such degree; and"

"Now why would i meet a lawmaker as a representative of IV if i believe what IV articulates impacts EB3 adversly"
shows your lack of understanding of advocacy. Grass-roots advocacy works from the ground up rather than top-down.
I am glad that after learning a few facts, your grievance has changed from "no one is doing anything for EB3" to "more should be done for EB3". thats a good start.
This "discussion" has been entertaining but its time to end it. Good Luck to you. And do try to participate in grass-roots advocacy - the way it is meant to be and not the way you understand it (i.e. others should do all the work while I complain).
Well what can i say it took less that 24 hours to get shot down again.
No one in EB3 is questioning IV's sincearity. What is being question is the approach which is impacting EB3
No one is yelling out a lie. What is being articulated (Not Yelled) is the impact of IV's direction
I have read IV's provisions and i have already stated in another thread that removal of per-country limits is a pipe dream and will never happen how many number of times it gets introduced in congress because it is there since immigration started and is the corner stone of US immigration policy
I will let the rest of your statement without comment because we are going back to the start of this discussion and is of no use name calling

Guys,
Let's not assume that visas wasted by USCIS would have been allocated to India or China. This would not have happened as these countries can not get more visa numbers than the numerical cap of 7% of the world-wide EB quota.
I'm sorry, anyone who thinks that the Priority Dates were shifted so visas would not be wasted are deluded.
Come on - the visas were going to go to waste because there was not enough manpower at UCSIS to process the applications. In what way WHATSOEVER, has this changed because there are more applications?!

You have a nice attorney
Here is what my attorney has sent regarding the AILA release, i dont know whether to believe him or other attorneys, i think i have no choice but to go with what my attorney says.He has been really good in these kinds ofnotices for the past 3 plus years, hope he is correct even with this.
1)There is no way that USCIS would get away with shutting down filing of EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 Adjustment filings without a massive class action lawsuit against the agency;
2)The power to determine the availability or non-availability of permanent residence visa numbers rests solely with the Department of State. USCIS rejected the �Other Worker� Adjustments based upon a notice from the Department of State that there were no longer any visa numbers for the category. I recently attended our annual AILA immigration conference and there were members in attendance who had interviewed the Department of State official who sets the priority dates. The understanding was unequivocal that the Department of State office felt the numbers would remain available throughout July, and perhaps, as late as September;
3)At this time, there are 40,000 immigrant visa numbers available for the rest of the fiscal year. This means that in order for the Department of State to issue any kind of notice to USCIS, 40,000 permanent residence petitions would have to be APPROVED prior to the end of July. I am highlighting the word approved, because I need for all of my clients to understand that between June and July, there will a lot more than 40,000 Adjustments filed. However, what determines an immigrant visa number usage is the approval of a permanent residence.
Now let�s go back to simple math: there are 140,000 immigrant visas available per fiscal year. 40,000 visa numbers are available at this time. The fiscal year runs from October 1st through September 30th. That means that in the first 9 months of the fiscal year, the Department of State and USCIS have managed to approve 100,000, which turns out to be 11,111 petitions per month. There is no possible way that USCIS and the Department of State are going to approve almost 4 times the number of permanent residencies in the month of July. The agencies do not have the time, nor do they have the manpower to approve 40,000 petitions within the next 30 days or so. That is the very reason why the Department of State official solely responsible for the priority dates felt pretty good about the availability of visa numbers throughout the month of July when he spoke to my colleagues from AILA.
To be honest with all of you, I was really disappointed in the message from AILA. In the rush to �inform,� they forgot to pause, analyze and really discuss the true possibility that USCIS would be directed by the Department of State to halt receipt of Adjustment of Status petitions. I want my clients to know this: at this point, I am not worried that the visa numbers will not be available throughout July. If I were worried, I would let you know. My responsibility is to guide you through this process and if there is any genuine worry on my part, I will let you know IMMEDIATELY.

Thanks akerd, for posting the link about Accenture-India head count surpassing Accenture-US head count.
Now allow me to ask questions from some members of this form who tend to use the phrase "Indian companies" with negative connotation in their every post.
Do you think Accenture to be an "Indian Company"?
http://inhome.rediff.com/money/2007/apr/06it.htm
Check the above link too...
"The numbers speak for themselves. Accenture expects to reach 35,000 by the end of this financial year, a 52 per cent increase over last year. IBM already has 53,000 people in India, a 23 per cent increase over the previous year. By the end of the current financial year, Tata Consultancy Services plans to add 30,000 employees, taking its total headcount to 113,500. US-based Capgemini plans to employ 40,000 professionals by 2010."

Pappu, thanks for the initiative. I will contribute.
I also have another suggestion. Why don't we also do a targeted campaign at partnering with corporate HRs to push for EB relief. Many corporate HRs are aware of the EB2 and EB3 retro pains. These corps rely on EB2 and EB3 folks for innovation and technology. Corporations have a lot of power in pushing legislation. I am just suggesting to try other channels as well. Corporates being just one.
Here is a list of some major corporations in the Midwest to start with. Others can add to the list from midwest and other geographies.

Hello,
I have a pending Labor application in Backlog center with PD 03/01/2003. In 2006 the corporate attorney applied for a new Labor certification with PERM that got approved.
The jobs descriptions were slightly different, so he recommended NOT TO re-file with PERM and leave the application in the Backlog center as it is.
Unfortunatelly, I checked the application status in the Backlog center and it shows as withdrawn. It seems that DOL withdraws the applications from the backlog center queue if you have a PERM application approved without giving us any option. My attorney contacted the backlog center but they woudn't want to re-instate the case, because they say I have a PERM approved... However, there is no law that prevent somebody having 2 petitions for 2 diff positions... Am I right here?
I'd want to know if you heard about this type of issue and I'm open to any suggestions.
What should I do?. Is it acceptable to contact AILA?
Best regards,
Valy
