In EB2 I, is 2003 all clear? I have not seen anybody (except one who had Dec 03 ...sorry forgot the user id). So is it safe to assume that 2004 is the oldest.

How many 2004 EB2-I are pending? Per the FY2008 DHS Statistics 25,777 PRs were approved. But we dont how many of these EB1, EB2, and EB3.

I think it all boils down to this scenerio
you have a seriously injured uninvited person in your front lawn about to die. what are you gonna do ?
Some people would want that 'problem' to go away and some would want to help the person. Our actions make what we are ..
BTW if anyone is interested, child birth generates 9 dols (measure of pain) of pain and at 10 dols a person dies. 9 dols is maximum pain a human being can suffer.
Take your pick.

As I had mentioned earlier, do not be under the misconception that just because you are working in a stable cash-rich comany and happy with your job, it can't get bad. Your company can move, downsize, close a branch or just fire you....given the current scenario, it will take atleast 5/6 years (if you are lucky and maybe more if you are unfortunate) to get a GC and all these years can go waste by any of the above happening
Here's a story sent to us....thanks for sending it in
My GC process was started in 2001, my labor was approved in 2003 but since my company was closing the branch office where I worked, I had to move to the main office which was in a different state. Due to this my approved labor went down the drain. I moved to the state of the head office, meanwhile my company off-shored a major portion of the development office where I was working early 2005. After much persuasion from me the filed again but I had to either move offshore or take up a 90% travel job with the same company. Now, I travel and am away from my family during the weekdays. I have lived in USA for 6 years - legally paying my taxes, following all the laws and contributing to the society to the best of my abilities. I am currently on H1-B visa extension.
My wife is working for a company on H1-B. Her employer promised in mid-2005 that she would start the GC process for her so that we could have a backup. Till now her GC has not been started. My wife is in a dilemma of whether she should quit her job and join somewhere else. But if she does move to a new company, even they will not start her GC process immediately. Even if they do what is the point because of retrogression?
With the retrogression my GC could take years....sometimes I wonder if the stress, living in constant fear not knowing what is going to happen tomorrow, staying far away from loved ones, all these sacrifices is really worth it when legal workers like me who have contributed to the economy of America seem to have no value in this country.

Mine was filed in TSC and it moved to CA and then moved back to TSC. The place originally filed will be considered.
Once again those who have already received RFEs know for sure that their files have been touched and many of these are outside the RD or ND of the I-485 filing.
So USCIS is like a fish market and no logic whatsoever be applied...we can all reason but it is futile...just like the stock market which can go in any direction so is output from USCIS.
Correct me please if I am wrong.

I don't see big deal in this, just bit of information which has no consequences. Visa numbers do/will exhaust at some point in time.
so for real, how does it affect anyone?
Visa Number over for this year - will I get my GC this month/year/any year - UNKNOWN
Visa Number NOT over for this year - will I get my GC this month/year/any year - UNKNOWN
:D
Nice !
Makes me chuckle :)

Dear All,
The idea behind this thread was to consider the option of a Time Bound Path for he beneift of the existing EB2 / EB3 folks who have filed Labour / I - 140 / 485.
I think the purpose of this thread is totally lost.
I am not sure how STEM or F1 or whatever should be a discussion here.
Anything we start here ends up in an acrimonious debate and many a time becomes very unpleasant and personal.
What are we all here for? Is it not our idea to to bring some relief to the EB immigrants?
Once again I request one and all to kindly refrain from unpleasant debates and think of working together for the welfare of the EB2 / EB3 community.
If we have our objectives clear and work towards a common goal, we sure can achieve success!
Kindly try to understand!!!

I agree farming is fun! I did farming when I was young back in INDIA!
Recently I toured entire US except a few states by road. I saw people doing farming in huge lands like other professions. I saw one community from india owning lots of motels/hotels! To my surprise 20/25 motels we stayed were owned by people of indian origin and most were immigrants.
To all who claim to be stuck in GC queue I strongly suggest a US road trip. It will show you parts of USA which you have not seen as well as relax ur mind.
Agree... and this will also increase your awarness. It's a beautifull country and you will enjoy the diversity and resourcefulness. Go mid-west!

Very sorry to know about the nanny situation. I would not recommend taking any legal action on that nanny because you are not supposed to hire her in the first place. So if you do complain about her, it is going to back fire on you, saying how did you hire her in the first place.
It is really horrible how a person can have heart to beat a small baby. Also she is not supposed to work on a tourist visa, if someone complains she can be deported.
I would suggest the following, just terminate her asap and try to use some local nanny who has proper papers to work. (since any way you are paying the same amount).
If you had hired someone who had proper papers, and if they had committed this , i am very sure you can take them up legally and make sure they do not do this again to someone else. But in this case it is a bit complex as you too may get in to trouble for hiring her.

Guys, any reason why we have a whopping 70% of the members not interested in contributing to this idea??
There is nothing illegal or offensive in a humble protest, so why the lack of interest?? Are you worried that you'll be pulled up for a humble protest?
It's not even that expensive to send a bunch of flowers. We have to come together and do something here to implore the USCIS to reform the immigration process. Just lurking around , and not doing anything about this is not going to bring about any reforms to this dysfunctional system.
I would love to know the rationale behind your lack of interest. Appreciate if you can speak up as to why you wouldn't want to join in. Atleast let us know if you have a better idea. Doing nothing and playing the wait-and-see game is probably the worst option.
I am waiting for someone from IV core to endorse the idea.

Honestly, with a 2004 Pd, I will get my GC in an year at the most.. but you, will never wake up. With your attitude .. you are probably in for 5 years.

Deecha,
1).I came to USA on L1-B in 2003 October and the I-94 was till september-2006.
2). Then i changed my Visa to H1-B in 2005.
3). I was asking my employer to file for change of status from L-1 to H-1.
4). Those guys filed for a new H-1 and sent it to a consulate in India.
5). I was not aware of this and i thought i am legal till september the expiration date on my Visa.
6). Labor got cleared in July-2007.
7). Thought i would file for I-140 and I-485 together and found out that my I-94 was expired since September-2006.
What is the best course of action here to remedy my situation??
Any advice or details of a great Immigration lawyer who dealth with such cases before would be of great help.
Thanks in Advance !!

I also joined the group in DC and wow! What a rush! I did not attend the 2007 rally and have regreted it ever since, so when Aman asked me to join this time around I was 100% ready.
Highlights:
1) The training we received on Sunday was outstanding, the IV core group is very experienced in lobbying our Congress folks, but they need manpower! So we were all there to learn and prepare.
2) Meeting so many people in my same situation was enlightening and uplifting, you could feel the energy in the room and a hundred people getting ready to change the world!
3) Monday and Tuesday were incredibly hectic. I figured out how to navigate the House and Senate office buildings sort of by the end of the first day, once you see all the tunnels you start to get the hang of it.
4) We met with staffers from Congressional offices from the west coast mostly and some from the east coast. Some of the were clearly our allies, some others not so clear, although many pedged to support our provision even if they would not support CIR as a whole for example. This was very encouraging.
5) DC was a buzz with tlka of the November elections and how that will affect the agenda for 2011, luckily we were there to start shaping it!
6) Several staffers were aware of our issues (thanks to IV efforts), but they still don't know the subtle details like per-country quotas, AC21 interpretations and other issues that impact us. That's why we need to reach out in DC as well as our districts.
7) Highlights were meeting with White House staffers and an actual Senator, I was very impressed. The Sen. was aware of our issues (although some confusion with H1B) but the staffers were very aware. I feel we really touched a nerve and made her realize the gravity of the situation for many.
8) We met with the Microsoft government affairs people in DC and the outlook was bleak, they were in full damage-control around the Sanders-Grassley ammendment that would essentially throw out visa and GC holders from companies that had done or needed to do layoffs. WE NEED TO ADVOCATE FOR OURSELVES! WE CAN'T RELY ON CORPORATIONS TO DO IT FOR US!
9) The reception on Tuesday evening was a great opportunity to meet other lobbyists that are our allies and discuss next steps and serve a s a capstone for a job well done.
Great work on organizing this IV! We all need to support IV so that these events can keep happening and our cause can gain more visibility!
