My new theory is the DOS was influenced by politicians who are attorneys (I beleive that there 50% of lawmakers) and it released a huge Visa Numbers. The politicians have strong connections to law firms. The USCIS doesn't want to do it, because it doesn't have 'resources', 'money', 'manpower. So, they are on a near strike mode, not attending routine works like sending receipts., etc in a timely fashion.

Many issues are being swept under the carpet. I had written a few times earlier. The backlog and GC issues are not truly a numbers game. It is the neo-con regime and the republican culture that had engulfed Washington, its consequences, that had made things miserable for us; we, the legal immigrants.
4/5ths of the illegal immigrants have been here by the time of Clinton's second term. It was a non-issue then. You should understand why is it an issue now? Why can't it the legal and illegal immigration be addressed and solved. In a democracy, things like this can be solved administratively, legislatively and judicially. Adminstratively, we we hit below the belt, in backlogs, in delays, in sudden rule changes (no concurrent filings of PD is not current). Legislatively, they are stalling and falling apart. What is left for the immigrants?
I had written many times earlier.
Why should you know? Why should you understand? It is in your own interests that you understand things wisely. Failure to know what is happening on the ground, what is happening around us is a sure shot for personal failure.
In this connection, see a counter-point on the immigration bill.

12000 visas would certainly translate to more than a week's advance IMHO:D
DOS has not said by how much will be the forward movement.
The Department of State announced that the Indian EB2 category is expected to advance one week in the May Visa Bulletin. The demand for EB1visa numbers has decreased by 50 percent this fiscal year. Last year from October 2009 to February 2010, 22,000 EB1 numbers were used. During the same period this year, only 10,000 to 11,000 have been used. EB1 will be current worldwide all fiscal year. This will free up an estimated 12,000 visa numbers to fall down from EB1 to EB2 this year
EB2 India Expected to Advance in May 2011
Posted 29.Mar.2011
The cutoff date for EB2, India, is expected to advance in May 2011. This advancement will occur in the U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin for May 2011. The Visa Bulletin for May 2011 will be published in early to mid April 2011.
On March 29, 2011, the DOS advised that demand for visa numbers in the EB1 category has declined significantly. Thus, approximately 12,000 unused EB1 numbers will be available to shift downward to the EB2 category, starting in May 2011. There was no estimate of the expected amount of forward movement in the cutoff date for EB2 India due to the availability of these additional visa numbers.

Get over with it bunch of whiny losers. Someone can can and is willing to do the job cheaper than you.
Think from your client's perspective:
1. Why should he pay you more if he can get someone for cheaper price?
2. Are you willing to do the same job for the salary that is offered by TCS, WIPRO?
3. If you screw up , who is responsible? What can you do to mitigate damage? TCS/WIPRO can replace the whole team at free of cost to make project successful.
4. YOU guys want to leave companies at will but the companies should not replace you at will?
If you were bringing in value to the client that they cant get from TCS/WIPRO then you will have the job. Get some more skills, be best in the business and be smart. Know what it takes for long term success. You have to be on your toes all the time.
STOP whining, you are just wasting time. All the best!
1. Why should he pay you more if he can get someone for cheaper price? - No Issues as long as its by following all the rules and regulations set by the authorities.
2. Are you willing to do the same job for the salary that is offered by TCS, WIPRO? - Nope, my salary is my personal choice. Tomorrow these companies may bring resources Illegally across border and offer 5$ per hour, would you accept that salary???
3. If you screw up , who is responsible? What can you do to mitigate damage? TCS/WIPRO can replace the whole team at free of cost to make project successful. - BS
4. YOU guys want to leave companies at will but the companies should not replace you at will? - Not at all, they can replace us anytime they want.. I don't know why this point ???
Here we are discussing about a violation by companies using L-1B visa resources and we think reporting this to the agencies (ICE/USCIS) and making awareness amoung clients doesn't harm anyone who does their business within the legal frame work.

Normally valid for 1 year but according to my CS these days USCIS is very strict about tb test so they they recommond it to be in within 6 month time frame.

He is right, but the problem is, USCIS and DOS has always done spill over only at the end of fiscal year and not quarterly.
Now who will go and tell them to read their own statute again and reinterprete?? (like the spill over that was done vertical for several years until they realize, "it needs to be horizontal by our statute!!")
Valid point. So its important for us to find out how was DOS reminded of the correct vertical spill over rule and we (IV) should follow the same.
I don't know why IV is silent on such an important issue. I think I am missing something. Please IV core, any answers on this specific issue ?

I am expecting the Dates for EB2 Inidia and China will move to Dec 2006 in May with 12k Spill over.
So if we get about 30k more for this whole fiscal year, assuming:
From EB1: 10K more
From EB4 and EB5: About 10K
From EB2 ROW: About 10K
Then EB2 I/C will move about 12 months ahead. That means the cutoff date would be around Jan2008 by Aug/Sep 2011. This is the best case scenario.
If we get only 20k more for this whole fiscal year,
Then EB2 I/C will move about 8 to 9 months ahead. That means the cutoff date would be around Jul 2007 by Aug/Sep 2011. This is the worst case scenario.
This is just my estimation/guestimation.

NewsFlash! DOS Expected to Revise July Visa Bulletin
Posted Jun 29, 2007
�MurthyDotCom
We have received news from the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) that they have reliable information that the July Visa Bulletin will be revised on Monday, July 2nd, or Tuesday, July 3rd. This Visa Bulletin is expected to retrogress many of the categories that were announced as being "Current" for July. It is expected that at least some of the categories will become completely "unavailable." The reason for this is that the USCIS apparently engaged in extraordinary efforts to approve cases in June, once there was some forward movement of the Visa Bulletin. They did this to try to avoid the tide of cases expected in July. Each green card approval uses one visa number. If the numbers are all used for the year, then the DOS will issue a revised Visa Bulletin reflecting "unavailable" in the particular category or categories.
�MurthyDotCom
DOS Input
�MurthyDotCom
While there is no 100 percent assurance about this matter, we at the Murthy Law Firm were given a 95-98 percent confirmation of the expectation regarding the Visa Bulletin by a very reliable source. The most vulnerable categories, of course, are those that are typically the victims of retrogression: EB2 and EB3 for India, China, and (potentially) Mexico. If this unprecedented action should occur, it will mean is that the USCIS will reject I-485 cases based upon the anticipated Visa Bulletin revision, if it should, in fact indicate that visa numbers are not available in a particular category.
�MurthyDotCom
Legal Fight Brewing
�MurthyDotCom
There is substantial legal wrangling ongoing because of the anticipation of this unprecedented occurrence. The American Immigration Law Foundation (AILF) has announced plans to file suit against the USCIS for any cases rejected due to a revised Visa Bulletin.
�MurthyDotCom
Conclusion
�MurthyDotCom
It is difficult to formulate words in reaction to this matter. So, for the time being, we will let our clients and readers know that our full sympathies are with them, as they face yet another potential disappointment. We also let them know that we have been long-time supporters and contributors to AILF and we will fully do our part to fight what comes.

These assumptions marked in red are incorrect. ROW has been consolidated into 1 category to simplify the visa bulletin. ICMP countries exceed the quota, that's why they have separate entries. If another country exceeds the quota U.K. for example, then it'll have it own column in the visa bulletin. The quota for EB-ROW is 40K - per country limit for ICMP for that category X 4. That's why EB3 India has been getting screwed ever since they re-interpreted the spillover rules (in the middle of 2008). Otherwise, you would see EB3 ICMP get at least 8K GCs in 2009.
1) Each (EB1/2/3) - 28.6% WW quota = 40040
2) 5 subscription cataegories under each EB category: I,P,C,M,ROW
) Assumption - USCIS distributes equal share amon3g these 5 different subscription categories = 40040/5 =8008 in each EB category for a particular subscription category.
Example:
EB3 All = 40040 ( 0.286 x 140000)
EB3 ALL = EB3 I + EB3 C + EB3 M + EB3 P + EB3 ROW
Assuming equal share of all of these 5 subscription categories - 40040/5 = 8008 applications to be worked for "Assigning the visa number" not " for granting the visa (IN other words physical greencard order)"
7% + 2% = 9% country specific limit is meant for "Granting the visa - Ordering Physical Green card" out of "Applications which have been assigned a visa number" NOT FOR "Assigning the visa number"

The following information is asked in the first field of ETA form 9089.
"1. Are you seeking to utilize the filing date for a previously submitted application for Alien Employemnt Certification (ETA 750)?"
"1-A. If Yes, enter the previous filing date"
"2-A. "Indicate the previous SWA or local offiice case number OR, if not available, specify the state where case was originally filed:"
The reason for that question in the form 9089 was to give an opportunity to convert the old labor applications rotting in the Backlog Elimination Centers to PERM, when PERM was first introduced in Mar '05. AFAIK, this has got nothing to do with porting the PD. PD porting can be requested while filing the second I-140 after the new EB-2 perm labor has been approved. You don't have to disclose anything while in PERM phase.

cir failed because the senate did not have a filibuster proof majority (60) to pass cir. This time the democrats are expected to gain 4 to 5 seats in the senate, that will take there majority to 54 or 55 from the current 50 (49 +liberman). With a majority of 54 or 55 the filibuster will not happen again in senate and cir will pass in the senate.
The difference between Bush and obama in calling for cir is that Bush was an unpopular lame duck president, his party was a minority in both the house and senate. Obama if elected president would have the democrats in control of both the house and senate, therefore when obama says he wants to pass cir, it will happen, so take it seriously and dont live in a fantasy that CIR will fail again.
to all those people who cliam that cir won't be bad, please, please name some provisions that were good for Eb immigrants. Please dont use words like "hope", might" etc,durbin wants to knock the living daylights out of EB immigrants. I want to know if there was anything good in cir, not good things you hope to be in cir
These are a list of bad things that were in cir and will be in durbin cir
-DId cir have stem exemption? answer no
-Did cir have visa recapture? answer no
-Did cir increase the eb quota to reduce the backlog? answer no
-Did cir exempt the existing EB applicants from the new "points based
system", answer this seems to be a gray area, no clear answer (there is a
debate about this)
-Did cir have draconian restrictions on H1, answer yes
if there are any more nagatives please add to the list.
guys, the reason behind this post is not to pick a fight with anyone or to win an argument, but to look at the facts and realize the deep shit we will be in and address the issues. Just like a sick patient will expire if he lives in denial and does not take his medicine, we the eb immigrants will expire with cir if we dont realize we will be sick with cir and start looking for medicine.

We had our interview on January 17th in chennai Consulate. Interview was smooth - which company.. how long you were working for the company and what do you do there.. these were the questions. We were told at the end that we will receive passports within a week.
So far We ( H1B extension -- 3rd time and my wife - H4( 2nd Time), have not received the passports. I already postponed our date of travel to Feb 5th. Looks like I have to postpone again.
Frustated..
Calling VFS daily to hear the same news.. Passports not been handed over VFS. The VISA is still under process.
Called Consulate Twice ... they say they are doing security checks..
for how long???
Vamsi
Hi, Vamsi, All,
I just called the Consulate for the umpteenth time in 4 weeks. The lady was very rude, and did not even listen to my questions. Here is how it went:
Her: Consular Section
Me: Good Afternoon madam.
Her: Hmm.
Me: I want to know the procedure to withdraw a visa application.
Her: You can send an email to us, stating that you need to withdraw the application, stating I-797 details.
Me: Ok. Do I need to submit anything else with the email?
Her: You need to submit a copy of the I-797 and a letter signed in original by you.
Me: But how can I sign the email?
Her: You cannot just email. We need original signed letter in courier. (note she said email before).
Me: And how much time does it take for the passports to return once you receive that letter?
Her: 3-4 business days. Ok. (she is about to hang up).
Me: (In a hurry) Madam I had one more question for you. Would you be able to track my passport also? It has been over a month since the visa interview, and we are still waiting for the passports.
Her: It is (couldnt hear) PIMS (couldnt hear).
Me: So has it been processed already, or is it in PIMS processing still?
Her: It is in PIMS. (wow, what a short answer).
Me: Can you tell me where is it stuck? May be I can get help from the company lawyer?
Her: Sir, you have to wait for the administrative processing to finish. I cant give you any specific details as to what is going on. You just have to wait. If you dont want to wait, you can withdraw the application. (she hangs up. Thats right, she hung up like this!)
My company lawyer suggests that I withdraw the application, and use the AP to get back. Now I am not sure if they will return the passports faster than they will stamp them. What a mess!!!!
Help dear God!
So far We ( H1B extension -- 3rd time and my wife - H4( 2nd Time), have not received the passports. I already postponed our date of travel to Feb 5th. Looks like I have to postpone again.
Frustated..
Calling VFS daily to hear the same news.. Passports not been handed over VFS. The VISA is still under process.
Called Consulate Twice ... they say they are doing security checks..
for how long???

Hi, Vamsi, All,
I just called the Consulate for the umpteenth time in 4 weeks. The lady was very rude, and did not even listen to my questions. Here is how it went:
Her: Consular Section
Me: Good Afternoon madam.
Her: Hmm.
Me: I want to know the procedure to withdraw a visa application.
Her: You can send an email to us, stating that you need to withdraw the application, stating I-797 details.
Me: Ok. Do I need to submit anything else with the email?
Her: You need to submit a copy of the I-797 and a letter signed in original by you.
Me: But how can I sign the email?
Her: You cannot just email. We need original signed letter in courier. (note she said email before).
Me: And how much time does it take for the passports to return once you receive that letter?
Her: 3-4 business days. Ok. (she is about to hang up).
Me: (In a hurry) Madam I had one more question for you. Would you be able to track my passport also? It has been over a month since the visa interview, and we are still waiting for the passports.
Her: It is (couldnt hear) PIMS (couldnt hear).
Me: So has it been processed already, or is it in PIMS processing still?
Her: It is in PIMS. (wow, what a short answer).
Me: Can you tell me where is it stuck? May be I can get help from the company lawyer?
Her: Sir, you have to wait for the administrative processing to finish. I cant give you any specific details as to what is going on. You just have to wait. If you dont want to wait, you can withdraw the application. (she hangs up. Thats right, she hung up like this!)

Two things about VONAGE:
1. Tax kills the deal. For me its coming more than $31 per month.
2. I searched on google about calls review. Many people are complaining that the call quality is not that good. On peak times, they do face issues.
Still calling unlimited india is a very tempting idea.;)
Taxes are inevitable!
I personally haven't seen any issues with Call quality. Infact Call quality is excellent.

Super news for every body. Assuming 0 approvals in September :p
only 4000 EB1 pending; even if all of them are approved, and with 1000 more in 2010, we have 30,000 EB1 rolling over to EB2. ROW EB2 quota ~ 25,000. pending eb2 row = 7150. even if we have 15,000 more approved in 2010, eb2 row consumes 22,000 and the remaining supply = 33,000 which can go to china, india, mexico and philippines.
mexico and philippines, eb2 is minimal .. maybe 700. so all of 32,000 needs to go to India and china. I dont know how the split will be here. if it is equal and china gets 16,000 they move to mid 2007 easily and India moves to Apr 2006.
However, we know the calculations wont be this precise and cut-off will move to 2007 in Aug 2010 which is when all the lucky bums will get approvals left and right.
QED :D

Since the forecast is EB2-I will be current in a few years. Does that mean that someone with a PD of 2009 (EB2) would get the GC faster than someone with a PD of 2004 (EB3)?
