Susie, I can say quite strongly that IV's agenda is quite officially
"H1B quota is not an issue that we wish to take any sides on".
We are trying to reduce the backlogs as a primary goal.
The main aim is to reduce the backlogs which will also reduce the age out problem, but not fix for those already aged out. Believe me, even if this was the only issue on the agenda, it is hard enough to get this done.
If we don't fix the backlogs then age out will be irrelevant. Let's imagine that H1B quota is increased, and EB3 ROW never becomes current because of more H1B ROW newbies. Then EB3 India will never get any spill over. In this case new India EB3 applications could easily have a 25 year wait, by which time the primary petitioner will have retired invalidating the whole application. Thus you can see that increasing H1B quota works against us (although the official position is no position).
I am considering computer modeling this, because I think that the a 25 year wait is very possible with the current scheme (making age out easier to push maybe).
If there is an opportunity to provide ago out protection without risking the main aim then I think that it will be taken. First we need a seat at the negotiating table.
Until we get a seat at the table we have the trade off between raising age out complicates things, and raising age out keeps it personal. There has been some debate over the, I think that the professionals recommend "keep it simple".
My position on this is to raise the age out and other family issues like US citizen children being forced to leave because their parents are. But only raise it with those law makers it will clearly be received well with, and not be a distraction.
There are other issues worthy of targeting, but they too complicate things, and risk us not getting a seat at the table. For example banning consulting. This could force many to leave, including their children, through not fault of their own. I think that consulting should at very least be grandfathered, and have some other exceptions. But again pushing that would be a distraction.
As I said, if we get a seat at the table, this issue has a chance.
We are currently working on getting that seat.
Thanks for your post, support and understanding as you know many H1B children still age out as do many other children who entered the us legally.
I am so passionate about this issue if iv decide to do something I would help in any way I could

I do want every one to have easy access to GC. Here what you are asking does not serve any one. It only increase the backlog. If we could make them utilize unutilized visas, remove country cap, set a fixed time frame, for most part I-485 would be current allowing any one with approved I-140 to file for I-485. You might say that atleast they could get EAD and AP. But look at those who already have I-485 filed. We are all crying the our applications are there for long time. So, do you still think to have AOS even PD is not current??
Since you have filed I-485, its not going to serve any other guys...what a selfless thought. By the way can you explain me how its going to create back log.

People are going to run after me for my comments but this is what i have to say.
Most of the visitors to IV take it for granted, they will come and see/search info and move on. No one is forcing them to pay a single penny for using a resource like IV. Its an attitude that someone will go to DC for ME, someone will pay the money for ME and if something happend I will also take benefit. Unfortunately thats what i see around.
Ideally we need to contribute - either by going to DC or by financial means. I did my part by contributing a few dollars(equals to 2 lunch outings for my family), cant force others but would expect people to do it one way or the other. Finally its our choice to do something for our own good or just keep sitting in a corner waiting for someone to do something for us.
Agree with indogokiwi and others. Whoever has consumed IV resources for anything like prediction thread or getting info from lawyers etc should chip in(dont get flamed, its just a request).
Since knowing of IV, I have contributed for these campaigns and will do in future too.

If you read closely, it appears like the 290,000 immigrant visas would be true for years from now on and for years 2001-2005 (the diffrence between current limit and this section). If that's the case and if that becomes a law, there is possibility there will be no backlog after that for some time...short time probably. Please correct me if I am wrongly reading this section. But for me, it appears it applies retroactively and will add the diffrence (150k a year) between years 2001-2005. If my calculation and understanding is correct, once this act becomes a law, the first year there would be 290k + 600k from years 2001-2005 ......I am not sure if my understanding is correct. I prey it is..
I don' think there is a point which says the visas from 2001-2005 will we
290K. From this fiscal year it will be 290K.
1) The total number of visa available that were not used last year
2) the total number of visa available that we not used from 2001-2005
From 2001-2006 the total was 140K
140 / 4 categories = 35000K for each(India-china-mexico-other). Now we do not know how many were unused from 2001-2006.
From what I understand, I do understand the country limits, and my guess is
There is no country limits, but only EB type limits.
If I am correct the dates of Each should move at least 2-2.5 years from now.
I believe people who need I-485 filling option without priority date should hope to get this too. STEM section has more support to be passed because it was never an issue in any of the houses.
This is my understanding-- I may be wrong

Is there anyone here in this forum who has file I-485 without a birth certificate. meaning instead of birth certificate what document did you use? could you please share it with us. Thanks.
Here is what my attorney recommended-
1. Get a "Non-Available Certificate" from the municipality
2. Get 2 people to provide affidavit (close relatives) in support of your birth date.
Hope this is helpful. Check with your attorney too.

I filed my I-140 in July 07, I-485 in August with PD of June 07(EB3 India). Perhaps there may be many more like me with very recent PDs. Given that it is going to be a very long wait for getting GC, what should be a good approach for me? Use EAD after I-140 is approved (AC21 would be in place by that time) to make the most of the waiting time or play it extremely safe and stay with the current employer till GC is received? :confused:

by congressional staff. Because the CR (Congressional Record) of SA 187 and SA 180 refer to the same CR .
Or
it is possible that SA 180 is merged with 187, as I read ( I can post) the Senate discussion verbatim and Senator Kennedy introduced SA187. And the CR record has these confusing.
S.AMDT.187 to H.R.2 , by Kerry Refers to CR S1121--Passed (does not contain backlog or immigration provisions)
S.AMDT.180 to H.R.2 , by Kennedy Refers to CR S1088-1104 --Not Passed/not voted--(S1088-1104---consists of Backlog reduction provisions).
We missed it guys......very narrowly.

We took both of them to the doctor and the doctors treatment some how is working for only one... even if u change the doctor same thing..
Be it EB2 India or EB3 India or EB2 China or any other category. All of us are suffering. Some of us more than others.
But... as much as you like it their will not be a EB3-I only bill or admin fix.
Only thing which will fix the issue is EB reforms (more visa, elimination of country limits, STEM expemtions etc) which IV is fighting for.
IV is not your partent. All of us combined make IV. If you are affected more then show by acting accordingly.
Lobby now, meet your representatives now so that come March next year when CIR may be discussed our provisions are not only included but also have a solid backing.
If we do not do our share or work now, we will be disappointed when CIR or any other immi bill come up.
Show your commitment by contributing to IV. Meet law makers.

I am seeing several people contacting Congressman and opening service requests. These guys seem to have become current just this month and they do not have any patience. It is crazy in my opinion. As pointed out earlier there is lot of herd mentality on the forums and if one person posts, everyone else does the same. Some people I have seen on the forum call customer service every day to get case status. I urge people to read and try to understand the process than blindly following what others are doing. Secondly as posted earlier, tracking is also useless and a waste of time. It will not help you get your green card any faster. Have some patience and follow the process. Starting a service request as soon as your date gets current, cannot help you.
And to add if this continues, Congressman will not take these requests seriously going forward as every other day they will be getting such requests. So please have patience and wait for few days before you approach your local Congressman.

- Grant option to have citizenship or green card to those who have been working for US for 10years or more without getting out of status.
- Issue one time executive order to grant green cards to those who have Priority Dates older than 7 years.
- Visa re capture if above two are not issued.
- Count primary applicant as a visa number and not dependents.
- If none of above are done at least deny/approve I-485 application as soon as possible and issue green cards later so that applicants know what they should do with their lives.
- If none of the above are possible, please shut the immigration.

The situation is the same. In my case and of course in most of others too, what he/she said is correct. Waiting for Eb3 to cross 2001 has become a difficult thing. If I started an EB2 app rather than hoping positively, I would have finished my wait for GC.
Ever since retrogression started the dates have not crossed 2001. 245i or not, the backlog is a fact. Sad part, when there is action items from IV, trying to talk to my state members, I have realized and been told that IV does not cater to EB3 anymore. It is disheartening how much ever I try to explain, occasional members look at IV threads like EB2-EB3 predictions and say there is no hope for EB3 and also IV has no answer to it.
I tried my part...too bad I was not able to participate in the IV advocacy day due to family emergency. anyway, let us hope IV's persistence yields us the results. My heart goes for a lot of EB3s who may automatically qualify for EB2 just due to their experience.
Best of luck to all.

One more idea
For Those who had spent more than five years in the US paying Federal Taxes, are highly skilled (MS) in STEM fields and has been delayed due to name check or Backlog etc. 5 (or 3 yrs) period should be counted from the date of receipt of I-485. (They definately need to get GC before they can apply for citizenship, counting this period)
Well I really think this is reasonable suggestion to factor Priority Date to determine eligibility for citizenship. It could be 5 or 10 years past your priority and only after approval of green card. Currently many people wait for 8 to 10 years for green card and another 5 years to be eligible for citizenship and some lucky ones get green card in 2 to 3 years and citizenship in another 5 years. System should somehow be balanced to have close to uniform wait times towards citizenship for all.

thanks andy. I am planning to use old PD , since I have a previously approved labour from EB3 ( i am trying for eb2 this time) do I need the original copy of the I-140 approval from my old employer? thanks.
This is taken from one of the Bulletins issued by the CIS.
Determining the priority date: Under INA � 203(f), immigrant visas are available in the order in which the underlying visa petition was filed. The �priority date� determines an alien�s �place in line.� For EB-1immigrants, the priority date is the date the employer files the Form I-140 with USCIS. For EB-2 and EB-3 immigrants, the priority date is the date the employer applies for the labor certification, if an individual labor certification is required. If an individual labor certification is not required, the priority date is the date the employer files the Form I-140 with USCIS. If the alien is the beneficiary of more than one Form I-140, the priority date for EACH Form I-140 is the priority date for the earliest Form I-140.
I think that all you need is a copy of the I-140 approval.
