I will appreciate your comments
RandyK, Yabadaba, EkAuraaya,
Sorry guys I was busy in other forums all these days. Today somehow I visited this forum and found your comments.
Now coming to the point it is very hard for me to put stats from 1999 to till today as a "proof" here but I will try to summarized in terms of events. And generally I will keep my predictions tagged to INDIA only because I have not studied or analyzed other categories greatly.
1) Till 2000 second quarter Labor approval in old system was really fast.
People used to have approved labor in one and half months in states like
california. If you arrived in USA in year 2005 or your GC is filed in 2005 or
thereafter you would not understand why I am writing this but ask the
importance about this sentence to the people who filed GC between 2001
and 2005.RIR was kind of recent concept and zillions of oppertunists were
taking advantage of that and still system was not broken. Categories were
not mattered much like today as for both catgories avg GC time was 2 to 3
years from start to end.
2) Here comes famous year 2001 - USCIS came up with AC21 and
simultaneously RIR catgory was starting having problems as those zillions
in step 1 already started clogging "RIR" and most of them were under EB2
USCIS (Then INS) started denial or tightened screws on RIR filing. Lawyers
started to force non-rir and preferably EB3 only category. From this point
onward category started to be mattered much and that thing is still going
on today. An dyet I have not talked about the mess and pile AC21
created with tons of bogus filings. EB2 clogging already became visible due
to RIR based filings... Lawyers were forcing EB3 and non-RIR filing and
couple ing with bogus filing EB3 Queue instantly became monsterous
(Within 6 months, or by the end of 2001) . Another factor is H1b Visa limit
made 195000 from 65000
3) RIR clogging mentioned in step 2 could become controllable so new filing
again get diverted towards EB2 with the knowledge of huge piled up filing
in Eb3. By year 2002 mid USCIS start experiencing "Adminsitrative
problems" and "huge work load and insufficient staff" and hence slow
approvals for labor. Simultaneously economy bubble bursted. Many
legitimate files became garbage as people were laid off left and right. For
survival in USA those laid off people join the queues of consulting
companies and multiple filings started to become visible.
4) Year 2003 - EB2 faced little retrogression briefly for 4-5 months and
second trend of RIR denials and second trend of forcing EB3- NON RIR
filing. EB3 faced brief retrogression for 2 months. Year 2003 finished with 2
Huge lines. Eb2 and Eb3. EB2 was predominantly RIR filings.. Screaming
already started and it was about to become like July fiasco at the first
quarter of year 2004. Because logically RIR was supposed to be faster
processing and it was serving its own purpose. Somehow USCIS realized
that and in all categories Eb2 started to be processed faster and Eb3 is
blocked. (Hey USCIS had 140000 visas only per year even at that time).
So end effect at the end of year 2004 the infamous block of EB3 got
implemented successfully and EB2 was running like "milkha singh".
5) By the year 2005 first quarter many people had to still wait although they
observed that they are in EB3 trap as economy was still bad. These group
slowly started to jump the fence either using LC substitution or new direct
filing under EB2. I remember one of my frined in California was asking me
that where he should pay $ 21000 for LC to desi comapny or not.
By the end of this process of jumping the fence to EB2 accelerated and
lasted till Year 2006. PERM was introduced.Backlog Centers were introduced.
For the whole 2 years (2005, 2006 and last quarter of 2004) EB3 was blocked
and EB2 was given preference.By the end of 2006 most stuck in EB2 since 2001
were released and got their GC. Now EB3 could start flowing.
6) You already know 2007 events.
7) Bottomline now EB3 will move upwards till 2005 mid with first priority and EB
2 will also brought till 2005 mid but this will be done by moving Eb3 first as
it is already way behind.
8) Once both EB2 and EB3 reches 2005 mid bench mark Eb2 will again
become faster with comparision to EB3.
Note: I have not talked about LC substitution practice during 2001 to 2004 but that black market was already flourishing
during all those years. And Have decided not to put 9/11 as a factor because nobody has a proof that USCIS
decided slow bleed based on 9/11. Yes we feel that but we cann ot produce the proof.

Thank you all for response and suggestions, my company and attorney is already in Process of filling 2nd PERM for EB2 with different postion, I talked with my attoreny yesterday and told him about possibility of AUDIT, he told me :not to worry about it: we have all of the docs and reason to apply 2nd PERM without withdrawing 1st Approved PERM for EB3. So he said nothing to loose from our side, if audited then matter of time.
Thanks Again

If dates remain current, I-485 will be processed based on receipt date
If dates retrogress (Likely to happen on July 3rd, July 15th, July 31st.....take your pick), then I-485 will be processed based on PD
I just received the following email from my attorney:
"We have just received notification that the State Department plans to issue
a revised Visa Bulletin for July 2007. We expect to receive this on Monday
or Tuesday. The revised bulletin would retrogress some or all of the
employment based categories, very likely to the point of unavailable. We
will keep you posted".
This is bad news and I have not even filed the 485 yet.

Hi Folks,
for those looking for a hotel to stay. There is a decent "Microtel" hotel near BWI in Linthicum Heights, MD . They offer free ride to/from the BWI airport, and the train station. The trains will go to the Union Station, DC. They also offer free breakfast, and wireless internet. If you can share room, it'll work out really inexpensive. Hope this helps.

With parameshwara's anugrah, my status changed yesterday(Sep 1st, 2009) to "Card Production Ordered".
End to my long wait and frustration.
I wish and hope others get their card soon.
Thanks to ImmigrationVoice team for their work without them, USCIS wouldn't be so efficient and wouldn't have cared to process the applications in the order of PD. IV is doing lot of things which will help the immigration community and I completely support their activities.
I have donated to IV before and now I am starting a new monthly contribution for next six months.
Congrats! Thanks for your support.

On what basis does DOL pick a company for audit?
I think there is not really any basis for audit unless there is a big mistake in the filing.
I filed through a MNC which is a automotive company.
The other rumor I heard that DOL hired lots of new people and audit process was part of their training. Do not question me how far it is true..

The biggest weakness of DOL/USCIS is going back to the older cases while newer cases are piling up. They do not have any service level agreements to adhere to. That is why many labors in the older process ended up in BECs.
Please raise this problem with your local senators and representatives and put pressure on DOL. The longer it takes at DOL, the longer it takes for your GC. Do not be under false hopes that your I-485 will be picked up based on the PD. For USCIS, RD is the convenience and they wil only go by that even if the law is written otherwise. So get your application out faster.

I definately finish all the events I participate in. This is the first time I am going to be raising funds for a cause I support and this is the first time I registered as a member of a Team for the entire year. I have supported some friends raise funds for the causes they support but never did one myself.
I have never run before............not even a mile. I still cannot and have just started training for the DC 10 miler. So please do not feel shy about running even if this is your first time. We are willing to answer any questions that you might have...........but please signup; set a target and start ASAP. Worst case you will end up walking instead of running.
