It looks like you are aware of some USCIS internal policy that is not known to all. I used to think that the policy was based on the per country quota for each category. Maybe you can enlighten us all. What is the acceptable gap in PDs between EB2 and EB3 for AOS approvals? In your example it seems to be less than 4 years. Can someone with a PD of 2005 (EB2) get approved before another person with a PD of 2001 (EB3). Since you seem to understand the policy so well, could you please explain it in detail with specifics?
First of all you did not have to bring EB1 in the discussion. I do not understand where did you feel challenged so have to come up with biting tone. FIFO is category base... You are bringing nothing new. Kid waiting in India for his first flight to USA know that. You have to have a eye to see the big picture. If you analyze the whole design and take the perspective country based... You will find that retrogression policy in addition to FIFO's ultimate effect is - for an example-EB2-India: 2006 PD would not be able to get his GC before EB3-2002. But somebody must not be mentally challenged to derive that. It is not long wait. From next bulletin you will start seeing pattern.

I think current mad rush is because of following reasons.
1) Atlease 35K new H1s filed because of H4-H1 conversions. This is because of retrogression and H4s waited longtime to work and so they are desparate to work. We can eliminate this if we have I-485 filing provision without visa number availability provision of STRIVE act. These people deserve it until there no solutuon to Retrogression.
2) 70K visas are filed by Offshoring/Outsouring firms firms. This is where the actual problem is. They won't send all of them whom they file. They will unnecessarily waste all these H1s after getting approvals. I know so many visas are wasted by Satyem, Wipro, TCS, Infosys, Accenture and all other offershoring/outsourcing firms every year.
3) 15K-20K by US educated students. These are deserved to file.
4) 10K - New H1s for real projects needed by clients. These are also deserve to file for H1.
So, here the problem is Offshoring/Outsourcing firms who are abusing the law by filing and not sending all of them. I can definitely say 85% visas filed by these firms every year are wasted and they won't send all these employees whom they file. They are using this H1 as seat reservation in a bus/train. They only send very few and waste so many visas every year. In all these firms, i know so many employees are having H1 stamped and waiting to come here. But those companies selects very few and send them here. If at all we need any reform in H1B, then it is here by not allowing H1s from these Offshoring/Outsourcing firms. Then everybody will be happy. These firms can use only L1 for their company needs so that H1 won't be abused.
Also, first point, we can solve by passing the curent version of STRIVE.
So, we need to oppose this new H1B reform and make to sure that Congress passes STRIVE act provisions.
Any thoughts from my friends?
Let me guess. You have a friend or a relative in the H1 que. And this H1 applicant is either getting education in US or is not going to be an employee of a consulting firm.
Second guess: You have a US degree or you are not working for a conslting firm.
Why do you think the spouses on H4 do no deserve H1? If they want to work, why do you think that they should not compete in the job market?
BTW, the companies you are cursing, TCS, Wipro, Satyam etc., it is possible that soon the H1s applied by these companies will be exempt from numercial limit. Yes, you heard me right. Here is a bill that would make companies providing scholarships to undergrad and grad programs to be exempt from H1 numerical count. This is not a joke, read for yourself: :p

Agreed, Elderly people just want to be with their friends/relatives and want to be in the country they have grown up in and lived all their lives.
This is a thread that has no relevance to IV or the community that is suffering from retrogression, especially if you are a EB candidate from India & China. We need some energy devoted to the following:
Multi year EAD/AP
Recapture wasted visa numbers
Eliminate counting dependents on the Adjustment application from numerical limitations
Do away with country limits
If we can hit the target with even ONE of the demands above we have a won a battle with the larger war looming in on us and that is successfully surviving the GC's tumultuous journey.
Every discussion on the forum should concentrate on solving one of the issues above and the concept of citizenship after 5/10/15 is total nonsense.

Yeah, go ahead and request that.
Banning me is not the solution to your problems amigo.
You guys (EB3-I) need to understand that "sympathy" is NOT a tenable legal position.
Law is law, rules are rules.
You cannot be planning to tramp all over patiently waiting EB2-I folks and expect to get away with it. Of course, I and probably several other people will undertake all legal efforts required to fight this (illegal) request from EB3-I.
To the guy who lectured me on how great his experience was etc: I obtained my Masters in Mechanical Engg from Stanford. Of course, I am not going to tell you where I work and what I earn. You can speculate all you want about my "Skillz".
To the guy who assured me that I am sinning and God will punish me: No, I don't think so. Fighting for the truth, and trying to fight for and protect my legal rights is not a sin. Speaking the truth is not a sin. I did not make EB1/EB2/EB3 categories. The government did. I did not screw people to have them apply in EB3, they should have known better.
To the guys who say EB2-I folks do not care about them: OF COURSE they don't, you guys (EB3-I) are trying EVERY TRICK IN THE BOOK to have an advantage at our cost. This shall not stand.
To anyone from the EB3-I cabal who wishes to engage with me: Try, and I will debate your points, any subject, any time (no IT please, I don't work in that miserable industry), regarding what is legal and good for EB3-I and also what is illegal and bad (mostly for EB2-I).
Behind every visa number, is a person and most probably a family. Children. Parents. Spouses. Siblings. DO NOT preach to me that I don't know about the suffering. We each have our own suffering. I have mine. Unfortunately, I wish my suffering just involved my GC.
Do you really think that whatever frustrations poured down here by whomsoever will force USCIS to change mind or its operational procedures changed? If not then why are you screaming so intensively? If this is the level one can achieve after joining Standford then we should now starting to doubt about the real quality level of Standford. But do not worry we will not judge Standford based on your behaviour here.
People are pouring down their frustrations, ideas and possible solutions. One may be agree or disagree for a particular post/idea but upon disagreement no one should become uncivil.

Guys, A friend of mine said he called the Office of Menendez but they did not quite understand which amendment he was actually referring to, I asked him to repeat exactly what he said, then I understood, many of us pronounce Murray as Mu-Ray when it is actually supposed to be pronounced Ma-ri. I just thought I should post this comment in case anybody was not aware of this.

Raising $300 or $500 per membership is a very reasonable amount. If you try to join some other Running Teams, you will have to raise in excess of $3,500 in 1 year. And the only distance you can complete is a marathon.
I have run over 12 half marathons, 6 races in excess of 13.1 miles and 1 marathon and I learn't that a marathon is not for everyone - that is why we have included distances like 5K and 10 miles in our event list. This is a great opportunity to pursue a healthy lifestyle and in the process support IV's long term lobbying efforts. Lets not forget what IV has accomplished for us in the past 12 months (resolving the July 2 Fiasco, Multiple Year EAD).
This is an earnest call to all walkers, runners and supporters of IV. Come join Team IV!!:)
We are slowly building up our membership this week, and I am very thankful for those who support this initiative and those of you who have already joined up, we still have quite a ways to go to reach our goal of 150 members. Help us support IV.
Please also invite your friends who are not members of IV, to join us. Please have them e-mail me at TeamIV@yahoo.com so that I can e-mail them the Team IV Membership Form.

First of all, congratulations to all receiving approvals. Each of us has endured/is enduring a wait a lot longer than we should have had.
One recurring theme however. It is so ridiculous. Each year, straight out of the gate TSC starts pumping out approvals, while NSC sits on their rear ends doing squat.
Considering this has been the recurring theme for the past 3 yrs, I am certain that NSC has the older PD cases, but just uses those files to be great seat cushions.
Then as will inevitably be the case the numbers will be used up and, the music will stop and everyone at NSC gets frozen out.
This is a trend happening each year and is very unfair to NSC filers.
Do we have any data on this issue. NSC productivity vs TSC productivity compared to 485 cases pending?

We need to maintain calm in these testing times... Not just for evey member but more so for people who are in the Core teams and doing the day to day activities behind the scene,,,,
We all know we cannot have all ~9000 member working on the issue simultaneously....too many cooks will spoil the broth....so lets play our designated roles..Right now every non core member should just contribute - even $20 is good enough...Imagine $20 * 9000 = $180,000....which could almost match our all time collections yet....
I again request folks to play their role in this moment rather than just sitting idle and waiting for something to happen.....

Being a volunteer, I had a chance to meet most of the members of the core team and other selfless volunteers. I also met the staffs of three congressmen and attended the congressional reception as well. I'll cherish this memory forever, since not many will get this chance in their lifetime.
One of the memorable moment on a personal level is, I met two of my high school juniors after more than 15yrs. It was a great feeling.
Chandu I met you also near the U-Haul truck when returning things after capitol hill meeting......
And I happened to be one of those juniors Nandha is talking about.It was a wonderful experience .

The evidence submitted shows that the alien completed a three year Bachelor in Science Degree in India
===========
fyi: I have 3 years of B.Sc and 2 Years of Post Graduate Diploma in MIS from India.
Let me know if anyone here has received thia kind of RFE and what could be the best next step to overcome this RFE.
Thanks,
