if i know this correctly, there are only 3000+ visa's (green cards)available for eb3 india and there are atleast 8000 people waiting in 2002. a person with a pd of mid 2002 also may need to wait atleast 2- 2 1/2 years before he/she gets their green card.
Dont you want to include the EB3 unused visa from worldwide? just the way EB2 got this time!
This is highlited in Aug VB thread too
following is pasted from VB link (http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_5092.html)
E. APPLICABILITY OF INA SECTION 202(a)(5)(A)AS IT RELATES TO THE ALLOCATION OF �OTHERWISE UNUSED� NUMBERS
INA Section 202(a)(5)(A), added by the American Competitiveness in the 21st Century Act (AC21), provides that if total demand will be insufficient to use all available numbers in a particular Employment preference category in a calendar quarter, then the otherwise unused numbers may be made available without regard to the annual per-country limits. This provision helps to assure that all available Employment preference numbers may be used. In recent years, the application of Section 202(a)(5)(A) has occasionally allowed oversubscribed countries such as China-mainland born and India to utilize large quantities of Employment First and Second preference numbers that would have otherwise gone unused.
For example, let us assume that 11,600 Employment Second preference numbers are available in a calendar quarter. There is heavy Employment Second preference demand by China-mainland born and India applicants; however, each country is oversubscribed and would ordinarily be limited to about 800 of the available numbers due to the prorating provisions of INA Section 202(e). Applicants from other countries that have not yet reached their per-country limit have reported a total demand of 6,500 numbers. After taking the worldwide demand into account, it is determined that as a result of the China-mainland born and India per-country limits only 8,100 of the total available Employment Second preference numbers would be used in that quarter. In this instance, the otherwise unused 3,500 numbers could then be made available to China-mainland born and India regardless of their per-country limits. Should that occur, the same cut-off date would be applied to each country, since numbers must be provided strictly in priority date order regardless of chargeability. In this instance, greater number use by one country would indicate a higher rate of demand by applicants from that country with earlier priority dates.

Dear All,
While meeting the law makers is certainly the best option, from personal experience I have found it to be difficult. I have however been able to meet our Congressman�s associate handling immigration matters several times.
Some ideas �
1.From personal experience I have noted that �signed� one page letters with a specific an clear subject line helps (For example, subject could be : Bill No. S1085: Seek your kind help to recapture lost visas for the Employment based Green card applicants). It may be slow, but personally I have a feeling that it works better than emails.
2.As it always happens, letters should never be longer than one page, especially when it is going to a government agency. No one even cares to pick up a 4 page letter and read it!
3. Can we all jointly plan :
a.To write a one page letter on Bill S1085 and send thousands of letters in a specific pre-planned window to the President, respective senators and congressmen/women? (Let us not make drafting an issue. With a common subject line on Bill S 1085 we can write a simple letter in our own words)
b.Follow up the letter with the meeting of the Congressman / associate handling immigration?
4. There is no guarantee that this will work miracles, but we can still try. Our �Flower campaign� helped, after all!
5. The next stage could be to stage a mass satyagraha in the typical Gandhian, peaceful way before the White House or the Congress. This can be done in summer, when the weather is good. We need to start planning right away and start mobilizing our EB friends.
I am really not sure how many of our friends would like the ideas!
Best wishes to everyone�.

USO is a typical criude ETF like AIG Crude - SCO etc .....HSNS is another medical Miracle company ....can pull rabbits outta hats (But hey this is a day traders analysis ....Not an investors)
My investor side says there are other better(safer) longs for your money that this one.
hello Chintu,
If the Obama stimulus package passes, do you think the US steel sector will benefit from it ? If yes, then which companies do you think will gain the most. I think the " Buy American " clause will be there, so I guess it might just benefit the US companies. Which other sectors do you think might benefit from the Stimulus package ?
Thanks for all yur inputs.

10 years and still waiting
My case is also similar to yours, My 1st labor was filed 2001 March, and I had to switch my employer and the 2nd labor was Sept 2002, Again I had to switch the employer, And finally 3rd labor was filed on June 2004, cleared around Dec 06 from the BEC .
Still waiting for GC with the Valid H1 ( Until Feb 2011)
I am waiting for the magic email.
Call them. For some it was approved and didnt trigger the e-mail.

04-09 01:45 PM
I totally second that. Saralayar has raised a very valid issue and its up to IV and core memebers to take it or not. Getting GC should not be the end of the story, we ought to think beyond that. had this GC process been consistant and FIFO, there would not have been any problem with the fact "citizenship after 5 years of GC". Now this GC thing is so screwed up, we might want to include citizen ship issue as well but definitely, at the very lowest priority.
I am happy that many of our high skilled community has understood my idea and supporting this thread. Yes definitely Core IV needs to look into this. You can also include your valid points so that core IV team can consolidate and research on this.

and why do you think those courses are not taught in a foreign country?
yeah, because in that foreign country, people design some stupid GUI for that router, which obviously doesn't need assembly level programming for packet processing, so why waste money on teaching it?
(not to be taken in a literal sense, no offense to GUI developers, they have their own level of complexity and skill set).
So why do you abhor ALP so much?
If you written any firmware, you will know, for some devices, it looks and feels like an assembly level code only.

Hey GCN007, congratulations to you. We are very happy that folks with PD<01/08/05 are getting their long-awaited approvals - India or not, IV members or not. Clearly the wait is frustrating and the relief is boundless and we are happy for those who have found that relief.
But, are extreme metaphors really necessary? I don't think anyone here will be willing to chop off body parts for green cards! :) And I don't think it will give anyone receiving them as much relief/happiness.
Congrats again and thanks for your good wishes. :)
Thank you Ksrk
It was merely an expression. I am sure you guys get the point.
Hangin there. 2004 will be cleared soon. If not this month, next month.

I thnk no. As I-140 is only fo ryou. not fo rhte dependants.
So as long as you are married and your spouse is in US before you file AOS you should be fine.
Do you need to be married at the time of applying I-140 to get GC in the same application ?
My question is when is the latest that one can get married so as to get his/her spouse a GC on the same application.

It is obvious that DOL backlog center is processing cases with utter disregard to FIFO procedures. Some people with priority dates in 2004 or 2005 have obtained their labor certifications, but some people with priority dates in 2001 or 2002 still do not know what is happening to their cases. If we file lawsuit against DOL on their inability to maintain FIFO procedures, what are the chances of success? Their inability to maintain FIFO procedures has brought great misery in lives of the people who stood in line for so many years so patiently.
Just like the Right to Information act that was passed in India recently, the US also has the "Freedom of Information Act". I think you can ask for documentation from the agency to get information such why its taking so long for your application.
You can find the details here:

so does all this needs to be done before we file I485, even though the visa dates are not avaialable. I am assuming all this happens when you have filed for 485 correct?
