I assume you all checked ur GC wait time - which probably gave u like 10yrs or 18 years from today. Are you expecting vertical spillover to put you on fast track lane?? say getting a GC in 2010? 2011?? 2012???
vertical spillover will only help EB3's that are very close to Visa Bulletin dates.
There are app 200k people waiting, changing how they allocate leftovers is not going to help 200k hungry people. What we need is more food (more Visa's).
I am awe'd by the shortsightedness of the solution being discussed in this thread. Do you really think vertical spillover is going to help an EB3 > jan 2006???
when we are ready to spend "X" $ on getting a law change for "vertical" spillover, why not spend "x+y" $ and put same effort and get a permanent solution - "Visa recapture" ???
Moreover the latter is certainly going to get you a bigger participation from EB community. Visa recapture will benefit the entire EB group and future applicants too.
I strongly urge you folks to think about these.
===========
Hi,
Whatever you or I (or similar people) say is only going to get us red dots. Even if EB2 people talk sense, no one in EB3 is going to listen. It is simple human behaviour - we are all here to safeguard our own interests. Not still sure if the forum is going to side with EB3 or remain neutral. Surely they can support EB3 - they have the liberty to do so and it is perfectly right. In that case, EB2 should create their own platform to defend their interests... May be EB2 guys should think about it...In my opinion, everyone has the right in a democracy to work legally towards their goal / ambition . This is absolutely jutsified. It is not a sin. All that I am trying to say is that EB2 folks should be proactive and act before it is too late.
If EB3 were to race ahead of EB2 tomorrow, will they support EB2 or work for equitable distribution? How many amongst EB3 have used the Labor substitution to their advantage? Will they back out now? Let them touch their heart and answer this, instead of giving red dots :)

Thanks. I missed you. I think I should have seen you but can't remember. Since morning at least 10 people who i have talked to from Tri-State area asked me if I know where is chanduv23? they just wanted to see the great motivator like you. Please point me to the picture where I can find you. Your posts on the IV forum have been an inspiration for lot of folks. It takes people like you to form a group of wonderful hardworking folks.
Oh Dude, I am in a lot of pics - I will point u to one hang on :) - actually if u look at Sheela Murthy's website, I am behind her when she was giving her speech and I was also behind Aman Kapoor holding the flag when he was giving his pre rally speech - So it is easy to figure out :)

There are 300k Applicants(conservative number) stuck at various stages for immigration relief. All of us want a reasonably fair and a little faster adjudication but none of us want to contribute, raise our voice or be heard.
We are legal-tax paying, high earning, skilled immigrants (would be- permanent residents and future citizens.) who contribute trememdously to this economy, and we are employed by employers who did not find suitable citizens in their cities/counties. NOW!. If we do not organise and get heard! we are the ones to suffer. "squeaqy wheel gets the grease".
Shame on us, If we cannot talk to other people just like us who are stuck, how can we make ourselves heard to the majority at large. IF we are not bold enough to invite our friends to join IV, then maybe we ought to get stuck in this mess.
It is time to act, organise ourselves. Time to invite our friends to join IV and make them aware and encourage them to participate in the activities like writing to editors, raising awareness, joining state chapters and fund raising.
Lets add atleast one more friend.

No offense, but, I would continue or increase my contribution, not because someone else is doing so or not doing so, or not if I would I get a tax break or not, but just because of my sheer appreciation of the IV core group's amazing efforts.
I have not (in the recent past) seen such a group of dedicated, decent and diginified people working together in a selfless manner to achieve something not only for their own good but for the good of hundreds and thousands of their fellow "sometimes not so polite, not so patient" sufferers.
I see my contribution to IV something similar to a contribution to a church or a temple. You give, not so that you'll benefit out of it, but because at the end of the day it is money well spent for a good cause.
If you benefit out of the efforts possible by your contribution, that's a nice bonus.
I don't look at my contribution as "I pay $20 I should get $100 in return".
For me, it is not an investment, but a good expenditure for worthy cause.
I just don't understand why people who suffer so much from the whole waiting would not contribute. If one day, IV core members decide to close this organization and go on with their lives, I would like to know how those people who have not contributed feel.
The economic theory, "inferior purge the good" works here. Without sufficient "good" individual, we will eventually be out of this game! So to those who have not contributed yet, do you want to see the disorganization of IV? Do you want to become a group for which no one would speak up for you? Do you want to wait desperately and endlessly for your GCs? Do you want to continue to work like a slave and feel worried about travelling outside US?... If not, please contribute!!!

My wife and I went for the medical examination 1.5 years ago, when we thought we'll be eligible to file shortly. We still have those sealed envelopes. However, the time passed and I understand we need to undergo the exam again for our June filing, correct?
The first time around my wife had a positive skin test (immunized in childhood) and negative Xray. Back then she was advised to never do the skin test again, as it'll always be positive. So, she'll need to go for an Xray this time. However, she is pregnant, and they don't Xray pregnant women... Is she an exempt then? There gotta be a provision for something like this, right?
Thanks.
Vlad
My wife and me went for the medical test today. We had a baby boy a few months back. They didnt do the immunization and skin test for my wife but did the HIV test. They said they would mention the same in 693 document that the test were not done because she is nursing a baby. But this doesnt mean that she is exempted from immunizations and TB test. She would need to come back and do the immunization after 3 months and the doctor would keep a record of it and INS would varify it later with doctor about the test results.

Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
Dude life is not fair accept it! :)

Finally I was greened after 4 years and 3 months from my I-140 approval date.
I opened a SR yesterday and today my CPO e-mail came to my mailbox. However my wife's status says
"On August 2, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later."
Do you know what does it mean?:confused:
I am not sure whether opening a SR helped or not. Good luck to everyone. Remember GC is something but not everything in life. Being healthy and spending quality time with your family are more important than GC.

Hi,
Today I have got the template from Ron and he has written this for atlanta. I also posted question to him for adding the case number. I am bit concerned what kind of impact would be there if we give case number. Apart from that everything looks good. Feel free to add any comment or suggesstion.
I am not sure about chicago as the number is very small, feel free to add any suggession or you can directly talk to Ron Gotcher. if you are like around 10-20 guys, you may hire him and ask him to represent. I dont feel comfortable to ask him more help as he is not accepting any fee or just let me know if you how to approach/your thoughts.

RE: Complaint of Malfeasance in the Atlanta Foreign Labor Certification Office
Dear Sir:
We, the undersigned, are victims of persistent malfeasance existing in the Atlanta, Georgia office of the Department of Labor’s Foreign Labor Certification Program. All of the undersigned are the beneficiaries of foreign labor certification applications filed with that office. We have seen similar applications filed by others, substantially after our applications were filed, processed to completion. We have made inquiries into the reasons for the delays in our cases but we have not received any answers, much less explanations.
It is our understanding that the Atlanta office is no processing cases on a first in, first out basis. Rather, they are selecting cases almost at random for processing. This is unfair and unreasonable. Later filed applications are being given preferential processing over earlier filed cases.
We ask that your office open an investigation into the reasons for this policy. If you find improper conduct, we ask that you recommend appropriate disciple for those responsible. If you do not find improper conduct, we ask that you require the Atlanta office to provide a detailed explanation for their behavior and, on a go forward basis, provide for transparency in their selection process. Whatever the reason for their existing procedures, there is a clear air of impropriety in what they are doing.
We look forward to your reply.
With regards,

Bill Text - 112th Congress (2011-2012) - THOMAS (Library of Congress) (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.43:)
That link has the complete text. Relatively simple text. Includes those who have completed degree in last 5 years or those who have resided in the US since obtaining a degree.
Only one constrain. Requires that "will substantially benefit prospectively the national economy of the United States". The second part is something which is fuzzy and not sure how USCIS will interpret it. They might apply the logic of EB2-NIW. However, in either case, it is adding numbers of EB categories and hopefully rest of the bill is allowing for these numbers to fall across and down.
If the applicant has completed masters degree in U.S. after filing Labor /485, does he get benefited with this bill ?
Thanks,

Called most of the listed numbers, most of them were aware of the phone campaign going on. Few of them insisted that they do not entertain calls from other states but the rest informed that they will convey the message to the representative.
People who are still thinking about calling, please call these congressmen now. This campaign is very important for us and we need to act NOW.
