You might want to add some important words there. Otherwise you will be at the tail of 12 million people queue and god knows how long would that take them to clear.
There are a big disadvantage for them.
- They will not be able to milk us of those dollars on EAD/AP renewals year after year
Just 2 simple things...
1, Green card to anyone who has been "legally" employed in the US for 5 Consecutive years( can provide W2 for the past 5 years)
2, Citizenship for someone who has been in the US "legally" for 10 years.
1.1, Once this provision kicks in normal approval within a specific time frame. say 6/12 months.
1.2, They can also tie the 5 GC years with some minimum salary/prevailing age with region of employment.
Advantages to us..
- Removes all the stuff to do with country impartiality.
- Makes us independent of employer.
- Makes us competitive.
Advantages for them..
- Simple
- Provides proof that the individual has been productive to the economy/country in the past.
- They may wanna tie Citizenship with the 40 Credits from Social Security or something if that helps.
- Removes loopholes which assists in driving down wages as employee would like to make sure he is employed enough to meet the prevailing wage for the year. (Drive the complain that we bring down rates etc)
There might be more advantages, but I just wrote down a few.

regarding the state chapters
this is what i found on the page following your link
At first i thought there was no state chapter for California. Only after searching the page for the word "california" did i find the ones for Southern California and Northern California
which are not states but just different parts of California.
Was i supposed to magically just guess that it is listed this way...or am i a moron who just does not understand this simple thing?
May be its true what you call yourself. How much time it took to find out these info for you.

The fact is that most of Pre 2004 EB2 lot is already out of the system. Those who are still in are sufferer of namecheck and BECs.
That's simply incorrect. Since EB-2 India was held up at Jan 2003 from Oct 2005 to June 2007, most EB-2 filers from 2003 and 2004 are still very much out there and waiting. You have to remember that most 2003/04 EB-2 filers from California/NY/NJ/WA were rotting in BEC. High demand states have not approved any labors with 2003-2004 PD's before 2005 when BEC started to approve them. But this was too late as dates were already retrogressed, thus for almost 2 years there was build up for 2003/04 EB-2 cases. I know a lot of them personally.
The only exception to this might be: There were very few cases filed in EB-2 during 2003 and 2004, but that is hard to believe.

Anything with the legislative effort aka unused visa recapture will not happen in this political environment.
My only question to the EB3I is,
Do you want to wait until the visa recapture, when ever it happens or will it ever?. More-over this has been taken up by many people in this forum and fizzled. To add more, do you know what will happen when un-used visas are recaptured ? Will it benefit EB3I or will it be given to EB2 just like the spill over. Would you do something right now to atleast get some short term relief to EB3I ?
I am here in this thread to understand what we can do for EB3I immediately. I presented an option when somebody asked in this thread. If you want to take it or leave it, its up to you to decide.

With all respects, ,may I request to keep this thread only
for CIR updates?
Like many of you, I'm also affected by this. My wait is almost
8 years now. I dont blame any body because I'm from a country
where beaurocracy and corruption is more than this country. I dont
blame anyone because it was my choice to come here and it was
my choice to apply for a GC. Nobody forced me. I've always a chance
to leave at my will. My strength is the belief that my gods will never
let me down.
Now I respectfully request everybody to update just the CIR updates
on this thread.
thanks for your
understanding.

For me the agony is endless. My deshi employer did not provide me the EVL in time though I was able to file in JUNE. They gave it to me after JULY 20th when I stopped sending timesheets.
I am personally not a big supporter of elimination of country quota. Don�t get me wrong. I fully share and understand the endless pain is being gone through by EB3 Indians/Chinese community. Increasing # of EB visa will ease some of their pain.
For an example there are 1000 IT processionals from India wants to come to US with H1/L1/B1. There are ample companies (say 50) owned by Indian and those 1000 IT professionals have enough opportunities to come to US.
On the other hand, for an example, from Ukraine, there are 100 IT professionals are trying to migrate to US with H1/L1/B1 but there are few to none companies (say 1 ) owned by Ukrainians and those 100 IT professionals have few to none opportunity to come to US.
My point is, there are more IT Indians in US do not validate removal of country quota.
Others should get a fair chance � NO MONOPOLY is desirable.
Also New Jersey has too may Indians living, may be one day, there can be revolution, and they might ask for a separate country. I am kidding here.
We are really missing the boat..till Oct'08 FY09 starts..:(
waiting continues....it became routine..

Honorable Lofgren had brought about very valid points and it seems too good to be true. (pessimism)
But if this is true We are all in, in next few days. (optimism).
The Twist is if this is true chances are H. Lofgren will cut a deal, remember there are heavyweights on the other side too. Its too embarrasing for all of them. ( realism)
I wish my optimism comes true though, that way I can tell my children when they grow up as to who made the difference and stood up for RIGHT CAUSE and questioned WRONG DOING without fear and that would be Hon. Lofgren.
om namo shivay. (Amen)
BTW our life has been between these three "ism" phases for god knows how long. (anantkaal) - time immemorial

she is chairwoman for subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Border Security and International Law.
How much clout does this congresswoman have? She seems to understand the entire scenario better than any american soul out there! It also seems like she has spent a lot of time on this and understands the system very well.
I guess it remains to be seen what kind of impact her letter will have on USCIS. Obviously, USCIS did something unlawful.

Hey man, whats wrong with the IT industry ?
Heck man he is from Stanford. He is EB2. How dare we lowly Eb3's challenge him. He can say what he wants. He is blessed with good fortune (read EB2) we are not. His suffering is not limited to GC. He is a tower of strength. In fact he reminds me of Atlas. Eb2 is one good thing in his others tough miserable life.
But misunderstand me not. He does not need your sympathy. He is a superior being, he is EB2. He should he admired and worshipped. Pray accept my homages. And if he says IT is a miserable industry just quietly nod your head and acknowledge and say "Master Eb2 what should I do discard this life of professional misery" and he shall deliver his wisdom.
And last but not the least be thankful to him. He has invested his stanford brain to offer us harsh but few paragraphs worth of wisdom on a Friday evening while the rest of us are out to drink or rejoice with family and friends. He choses to have none so he may offer us salvation. The sheer volume of his words astounds me. Thank you sir! I think you should sleep now, so you can wake up early and engage in a wise yet energetic discussion with us lowly Eb3 folks early in the morning who shall wait in earnest for you to vocalize your deep reflections on life and Eb2

you should definately not get a ear/headache . That is not good. We should talk about this. Are you walking at a moderate pace?. Did you start out too fast?. you should always start out slow. you can start at the same pace you walk from your car to your office. That was what I did 7 years ago. See if you can walk for 30 mins at the same pace you normally walk from your car to your office or even try for just 20 mins. Do not worry about speed at this time. We will gradually build you up from walking 20 mins to walking 45 minutes at a Moderate pace. I can work with you personally on this if it is ok with you. I have helped a few people with their health and wellness goals over the past 5 years. That is my favorite hobby actually
guys.. 30 minutes is a LOT.. I think I walked a little more than a mile. Feels good, but I think I'm getting a ear/head ache because of all that blood pounding in there.
I'll "run mouse" for the rest of the day :)

Going by that, I guess, dates may move forward very slowly until these new applications are dust-shed and taken for process. And, this may take atleast 6-9 months or more in my opinion (going by the processing times of various USCIS centers).
They have started FY 2008 with some caution after July fiasco and may ease it up a bit in the next couple of months. I am confident most 2002 cases and some 2003 cases would see approval in the next 3-4 months.
2003 EB3 India? That would be interesting (because dates need to jump forward two years for that to happen)

By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - U.S. Catholic bishops on Wednesday urged the U.S. Congress to resolve differences on immigration reform and seize a "historic moment" to give all of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants a path to citizenship.
Meeting in Los Angeles for their bi-annual conference, the bishops said an enforcement-only approach to immigration had failed and that stronger border fences and a piecemeal approach would do nothing to deter those seeking to find work in the United States.
"Over the past 12 years, our government has spent $25 billion on enforcement of our border. During the same period, the number of undocumented in the nation has nearly doubled," said Bishop Gerald Barnes of San Bernardino, who heads the U.S. Catholic Bishops committee on immigration.
"We urge congressional leaders and the President to seize this historic moment and enact a just and humane immigration measure," Barnes told a news conference.
"Either fix it, or five years from now there will be 20 million illegal immigrants here," said Los Angeles Cardinal Roger Mahony, whose vow to disobey any laws that would criminalize illegal immigrants and those who help them has made him a leading voice in the national debate.
Lawmakers are struggling to reconcile a bill in the House of Representatives that focuses strictly on border enforcement with a Senate bill that would also create a temporary work program denounced by many conservatives as equivalent to an amnesty for illegal immigrants.
The bishops said all undocumented workers currently in the United States should be given a "viable and workable earned path to citizenship," not just those who have been here longest.
They also backed a temporary worker program and reforms that would reduce family immigration backlogs. Continued...

I is only based on a law. In the past CIS used the law to implement one set of policy (horizontal spill over). Since the middle of 2008 CIS is using the same exact set of laws to implement a different set of policy (vertical spill over).
Allocation of immigrant visas is not a policy matter. It is based on law. Any change should come thro law change. Congress (&president) has to amend the law (INA) how to modify the allocation. It is not a simple matter. Both DOS and USCIS knows it unfair to keep EB3-IN in 2001; but they can't do any thing. Thats whu EB3-IN folks should try hard to make the congress to change the law. Contacting DOS or USCIS not going to help, as they have no authoity in changing the allocation methods (they only execute the methods).
