E. UNAVAILABILITY OF THE EMPLOYMENT THIRD PREFERENCE AND EMPLOYMENT THIRD PREFERENCE �OTHER WORKER� CATEGORIES
The cut-off dates for the Employment Third and Third preference �Other Worker� categories were held and then retrogressed in an effort to bring demand within the average monthly usage targets and the overall annual numerical limits. Despite these efforts, the amount of demand received from Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices for adjustment of status cases with priority dates that were significantly earlier than the established cut-off dates remained extremely high. As a result, these annual limits have been reached and both categories have become �Unavailable.�
Visa availability in these categories will resume in October, the first month of the new fiscal year.

I still see his old report there, including "The USCIS hands may be tied, should the EB visa numbers for FY 2007 is exhausted before the end of July."
What exactly has he removed?
My bad, it was WAYY down below and he had removed the links to it. I apologise for the mis-information.

This is what I call "tailoring message to our own needs". Lets take your example and I will do the same for you.
USCIS certainly has a report by RD and lets say they are providing that report to the congress or the Senate. What would you see in the report ? There will be applications backlogged for years especially EB3 I. Just in my case, the 485 has been pending for more than 6 years. Anyone who wants to look in to the performance of an organization would want to know how well they are doing and USCIS has to show that they have applications backlogged for more than 6 years and cannot process them because of the unavailability of the visa numbers. Would that look good on them ?
All big companies use both EB2 and EB3. We cannot justify one over the other with-out understanding the data. Again as far my understanding goes, I believe Bill Gates is a big proponent of H1Bs than getting his employees permanent residency.
This is my take on spill over interpretation and please dont feel bad if you do not like it. Lets take it this way assume we have 40K extra visa # from EB1 and ROW categories that need to be spilled over to ICPM countries. Now you have two options
1) Spill it by PD. Which helps EB3 (I)
2) Spill it by category which helps EB2 (I) & EB2(C)
If you look at numbers EB3 I # are huge so inspite of pumping 40K into it the numbers barely inch forward. We have seen this all the way till 2007. Where as in just 2 years of spillover EB2 I has moved into 2005 with prediction of becoming current in 2-3 years.
Now if I was USCIS director and going to Senate hearing. What would I like to tell them that I have used all visa # and EB2 & EB3 are severly backlogged. Or should I say I used up all visa # and now EB1 & Eb2 are current and we have backlogs in only Eb3 category.
Just that I feel USCIS can claim more bang for buck when they spill in EB2. (just my theory not justyfying it). Also I feel Eb2 is used by large US corporations for its H1 employees especially STEM graduates working. Example Intel, Texas Instruments, Microsoft etc also large financial companies especially for employees on business side (not IT employees). There is pressure from these companies since they do not want to lose some one with business knowledge because of immigrations rules. Just look at how many times Bill Gates has shown up on Senate floor to pitch for EB immigration reform. If you make EB2 current you can shut him up since most Micro Soft employees are under Eb2 category. That way you are effectively muting the critisism againt you on senate floor.
This way USCIS can also keep these people happy since they can claim that EB2 which translates as Exceptional Ability and Advanced Degrees are now close to current. The only catch is consulting companies and outsourcing companies have sneaked large number of people into Eb2 and they have become lucky.

What is really suprising and shocking is that in EB community itself EB2 does not care to listen and provide and open discussion about EB3 issues. Now according to me that is shocking
Eb1 doesnot care about Eb2 & Eb3.
Eb2 doesnot care about Eb1 & Eb3.
Eb3 doesnot care about Eb1 & Eb2.
Embarrassingly this is the truth!!!

Great Job, Kudos to you for making such an effort.
Similar to this, we need as many efforts as we can have.
To further continue this effort, I would suggest writing letters to your local congress rep & Senator, particularly those who have been waiting for over 5 years.
More effective approach will be to contact local media.
Since we have a unique situation, I would recommend start a request to separate legal employment based migrants from other categories.
BOTTOM LINE: We can not wait for CIR, this is NOT about comprehensive immigration reform, this is a requirement from current employment based immigration system.
Instead of writing a letter, why not start with a phone call. Find out a bit about the staff ahead of time (Google, Linkedin, etc.) and then call the person that is most likely to be helpful. Then ask for a meeting.

To all:
For those of us, who have green cards, we would also like to participate, if we can add an action item to improve citizenship rules. Most of us have waited 10 yrs for green card, and waiting another 5 yrs on top of it is too much.
Also, h1bs + green card holders would be both interested in joining the cause.
say what?

Can't pick stocks in this Volatile market, but one thing is certain the markets will be volaile for some time now. So I suggest be long Vega. Pick a stock where the implied vol is higher than historical vol (you will find plenty. Eg C) and put on an option straddle. Sure to make money.
This is not a day trading strategy but a derivatives trade.
I can post a few breakout runners in the AM but would like IV core's consent to do so. I can post runners in the chat so its faster and easier
Once I get a go ahead I will post some
I strongly suggest to WATCH WATCH WATCH the trades and not jump without knowledge of the trades.
Again make a portfolio on google /yahoo or any other portal and watch the plays . Keep an eye on the volume / News of the trades.
Just a side note :
SAY - Satyam went into the dumps from 12 to .01 IN 2 WEEKS . NYSE dint trade it for 3 days . Today it opened again at 1.10 ---hit bottom of 0.78 and high of 1.77 .
So a PDT watches for these breakout . If any one entered this stock at AROUND 1.00 earned anywhere from 50-75% on it.
Why did it rise ?? Market plays on humna sentiments ...early morning news broke out that there "MAYBE" a govt bailout. sending SAY skyrocketing.
Traditional investors may differ from my opinion....but then This is not for traditional investors sorry!!!!
If you ask me ....I suggest just use your disposable income ONLY STRICTLY to play to learn . Start with as low as maybe even 500 bucks .
Initially just play on the portfolio without money to see how you fare. As you learn you will be more confident

I am jumping ahead of the situation here, but I just wanted to see what other members think/know. Assuming that the 90K visa recapture happens, It doesnt take too long for them to be used up in the current situation where there are a lot of people with labors and approved 140's (w/PERM). Not every one will have an oppurtunity to file for a new labor and file for 485. If DOS makes the PD's current / post Mar 2005, wouldn't it be unfair to people who labors are pending for 3 yrs. How does this work out in the previous recapture? HLG doesnt say about numbers being forwarded to the next year though.

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.
I agree 100%
The 1 Ukranian IT guy must have waited longer back home till he found a chance to come, so it is fair that he gets a chance to catch up when he arrives here.
I sympathize though with non-IT retrogressed people, there isn't such a monopoly outside IT, so them getting delayed because of the presense of large number of IT people from their country may not be fair.. Then again what's fair about indian born in india being retrogressed while indian born in kuwait is not.. We all acceped to start applications within certain rules, saying "not fair" and adjusting the rules at others' expense should only apply to future applications.

I will go with Option 2.
Options:
I dont think I want to have a separate poll for this, but we do have a couple options here:
1 Send One big letter
2 I create a template so you guys can just put your Name, Address and Case Number (optional) print and send it your self, it will cost you guys less than 5 minutes and less than $1.
What do you say?

I have submitted all the documents to my laywer on 6/25 itself (including medical) but they are just heavily back logged and won't be filing my case till Jul 10. I am just frustated now. I even offered to pay extra to speed it up but no use. I am only worried if dates retrogress half way through?
To my real question.. Can we just file on our own with out the lawyer? I would hate to loose this window just coz my laywer couldn't do it. Not sure how I would break that kinda news to my wife, "I know the dates were current for 10 days in July but our lawyer didn't have time so now you will have to stay at home for 1 more year".
Hi! You are not the only one, many people like us are in the same situation as yours. However, there is nothing you can do if the dates retrogress.
Lot of people are filing 485 on their own and you can do that too, I guess. There is a seperate thread for this, please refer to that thread.

Thankyou
Hi folks, just as predicted, my email thread to select contacts resulted in one outright racist response. i dont want this group to get distracted or distressed if you too get such responses. take a look at the original note below and my response. remain brave. remain strong. this is a LEGAL immigration process in the US economic interest too.
hopefully people will begin to realize that anti-legal-immigration is just a facade for deep rooted racism.
Best.
A SELF AVOWED RACIST RESPONSE from A PERSONAL CONTACT
I have to let you know that not only will I not support this bill, but I am vehemently against the legal immigration of workers that are originally brought here to usurp positions that would have otherwise been held by skilled Americans. I agree that this is a racist and exclusionary position, but I also know many people who can no longer get work at the level they deserve due to the displacement they have experienced as a result of this foreign worker influx.
Please remove me from any future posts regarding this or related issues.
MY RESPONSE
i know how the native americans must have felt when the pilgrims landed... oh that darned foreign influx.
i will not dignify your self avowed racism with the erudition of economics, capitalism, innovation, globalization, human rights or the rich history of the united states as a melting pot of cultures ... all of which are underpinning factors that are in the long term US economic interests in high skilled LEGAL immigration. of course, these tend to be conveniently ignored on the altar of superficial sentiment, myopic protectionism and deep-rooted xenophobia.
it would be best that we not be on each others' personal contacts or have any future interaction at all.
