Well my friend, don't bring your pretentious "I'm-so-great-I'm-non-judgemental-oo-la-la" BS here. If we don't make it clear in our replies that we do not condone any actions that break the law, we are just making it easier for anti-immigration people to easily point fingers at us and claim we are all drug peddlers or criminal.
I would urge more members here to reply to the OP that we at IV do not have any sympathy for people breaking the law.
As for you, think before you type!
With your history of getting rammed here i would avoid saying that if i was you,
I agree with making it clear that we ( the forum members) condone actions breaking the law but there is a difference between telling the same to a person in a professional manner as against shoving our personal moralistic BS in their face.

There is an unpublished appeals office decision supporting the 3+2 equivalency to a US masters. It appears that some adjudicator do not necessarily follow the AAO decision however an attorney told me that if the case goes back to the AAO office then the AAO follows their own decisions. As far as I know the cases I am familiar with all were approved at some point (or are pending) when the AAO case was sited.
As far as the 3 year bachelor degree equivalence to a US bachelor degree there are notes from an AILA liaison meeting where USCIS stating: "Credential evaluations that provide a details comparison of credit hours completed by the beneficiary for the 3 year bachelor's degree program with credit hour required by comparable U.S. bachelor's degree program." Exactly what is meant by this is not clear. However, one might say that this indicates that they are at least open to accepting the 3 year equivalency to a bachelors degree.
Our experience is mixed. We have had many approvals when showing the 3 year degree equivalent to a US bachelor degree and we have had denials. In examining the differences it appears that when the attorney makes a strong case in addition to the evaluation the rate of approvals is higher. We don't have exact statistics since many clients do not report back.
There are some cases where 10+2+3+2 got approved in EB2. But lately CIS has been interpreting the BS requirement to read single source degree. Combination of degrees to equate to the bachelors is not allowed for EB2 purpose.
I agree, they had given approvals under EB2 with a 3 year degree. I have few friends who dont even have Indian masters (like MCA) after 3 year Indian degree (BSc , BCom) i.e 10+2+3+1 year diploma from computer institute, but got approved under EB2 and now citizens.

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.

Wish I could say something to help those who missed feel better. I was fortunate. My PERM (atlanta center which is another slow goer but nowhere like BECs) got approved on Aug 14. I filed aug 17 but don't think I submitted all needed docs due to unavailabilty of some. I saw some people at Atlanta center wait for much longer than PERM should take and they gave up. My heart goes out to everyone. We do need to become involved with IV...be it those who are ahead in the game, be those stuck in Atlanta PERM, be those stuck in BEC and/or coming out of it now. Each and every person must join so as to fix this broken immigration system. People are stuck in differnet stages and it's not fair, so do get involved and help IV in helping you.

if any GC applicants are contracted to write new code for their system, please remember to insert some logic to 'take care' of the visa number distribution algorithms :D ...( just a joke)
The article doesnt use the word 'faster' :>
"The increases, which have been under consideration for months, would raise nearly $1 billion for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The troubled $2 billion-a-year agency has antiquated paper systems that have fed years-long delays for applicants and fears that terrorists might slip through the cracks."
USCIS filing fees are a fraction of my attorney's fees. If this means faster processing, I am all for it.

[QUOTE=gc_in_30_yrs]I have several friends who were waiting for GC desparately and they thought it was the final destination. They had many reasons why to get GC and once they get, they will be free and can do / will do everything possible. But, once they got it, they settled in a permanent job. Without GC, they were working for the same client with even more pay and life was good if not better.
very feel good message depending on who you talk, but it matters from person to person and situation to situation. When your wife cannot work, and she used to be working in India, when dont know where you are going to be tomorrow, from contract to contract, when your decision is influenced by your employers and when you wait in long lines to get an appointment in the counsulate and everytime you travel abroad, you take tonnes of paper with you, not knowing if enough documentation is proof enough to let you back in and paying 2 to 3k from your pocket in getting extensions and visa stampings and you have been waiting for the past 4 years and still dont have your labor cleared, and DOL shows its IN PROCESS or a standard email you get from them saying an analyst is reviewing, thats when you wish you had a green card. Why, spending 7 years if its going to be to get a GC can create a Generation gap, can create dents in relationships, your loved ones sacrificing for you giving up their careers, in this mordern day and age, just to fulfill your american dream sounds very selfish. To live with it every day makes it harder. The only thing to not send me back is, what if someday I have to start over all this again if it makes me regret someday, I should just waited a little more to get though this process:)
Feel good, but dont give up! Keep talking to people, send emails, letters to senators and congressman, support IV on their initiatives in how muchever you can, if you can is the tone we should set in this forum!

Initially these facilities not provided to CP filers because it used be fast in comparison of 485 filers but now due to this retrogression CP filers are also waiting in queue with 485 filers and not even getting any reliefe I would say they are in very bad situation compare to 485 filers.

A lot many can empathize with you. But if you are looking for relief - you ought to take responsibility for how you feel. You already understand the forces of nature - you will get your GC when it's your time. If anything your needless frustration and forceful attempts are only interfering with the energies that have made your PD current.
Just relax - get some exercise, eat well and participate in things that lift your soul.
Good luck!
I know before you start blaming me for this thread, as it is of no use, I would like to point out that most of you must be experiencing the same thing. I didn't care much for Visa bulletin until it became current for EB2 two weeks back. As the time progress, I am doing all sorts of things, like checking USCIS case status, and checking everything that can possibly give me some information. I know that it is waste of time, I know it is not good for health, I know that I will get GC when time comes, but still, my mind is tricking me to think about it. I checked all these forums until 2A.M last night. I am not having enough sleep. I am waiting for a opportunity to get rid of my desi employer. I am really getting frustrated (I am not saying that I have been waiting for GC approval desperately). I just want to share my frustration and what I have been going through. I know I am in a better position than most of other people whose priority date is not even current. I wish they never dangled a carrot in front of me. I am not sure if they disappoint me next month, but I am still keeping my hopes. Hopefully, I would get over this and have enough sleep from today.

Can anyone please give any advise/ideas on how to deal with this?
Thanks.
did you give an education evaluation certification along with your original GC app and I-140 app? IT is very important documentation if u do not have a 4 year degree. Usually they accept 3 year degree with work exp to be considered in lieu of 4 year degree. for your case, where u do not have a 3 year bachelors also, ur education evaluation documentation needs to be extra strong and attractive. Hope this helps...

What I am finding is, there are not enough people to do the really complicated stuff. Because of demand and supply the salaries are going up for folks that do specialized tech work( say OS Kernel development).
Then again, nothing in this world is too difficult, so lot of this stuff is getting pushed out to development teams outside of the US, where it's cheaper to get it done. The only downside is the ramp up time.
There is a critical point when it becomes too expensive to hire anyone in the US and the folks elsewhere are sufficiently ramped up, at that point we can thank all those who are against employment based immigration and find an alternate career :)
It is also obvious that the current graduates are more reluctant to take up jobs in US or stay here for a long time due to the following:
1. Messy GC process as more students are becoming aware of the situation
2. Ability to work freely in a competitive environment
3. Boom in their home country (India and China) [A survey shows that majority of foreign students are from these countries]
4. Ability to start at higher levels over there compared to start up jobs over here
5. Can stay with family
In our team, we are trying to hire 3 full time employees in west cost with specific skill set and could not succeed for the past 6 months :( One of my friend who is leading a team, recently want to expand his team had a similar issue. He finally setup an office in India and recruited people over there.
These trends clearly indicate that US is loosing clear competitive advantage and more jobs are moving off-shore.
If for some reason I move back to India, I am sure that I will be taking away as many as 10 jobs along with me as well :)

This states that, unlike earlier, petitions filed without initial evidence are more likely to be rejected than to be RFE-ed. (See towards end of first page).

Could you please post the correct link? This one is not working. I wanted to check about the initial evidence

Is there any update on three bills in house. I have checked the hearing schedule for all committees and there seems to be no hearing scheduled for any of the bills. House in session till September 7 and after that District work period and convention shows, which leaves us with just 4 weeks from now and after that It reconvens from September 9 with target adjournment date of 26th september and i m pretty sure no congressional rep will like to cast vote on any bills before going into election....
Prospects seems bleak now... Is there anything we can do...any last attempt that is required? If so...Let us all know...
I doubt if you would get any reply to this!
