If USCIS is planning on using up all 40K by July 2, and not accepting applications why would they put out a memo like this?
questions are never ending, the only thing in our control is to push our lawyer to file asap.

USCIS to Suspend Premium Processing for All I-140 Petitions Beginning July 2
06/28/2007
In a press release issued today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that it will impose a temporary suspension of premium processing services for all Form I-140 immigrant worker petitions from July 2, 2007 to August 1, 2007. Premium services are being suspended because USCIS expects a surge of I-140 filings beginning on July 2, when immigrant visa priority dates become current for nearly all employment-based categories. The agency anticipates that, due to the high volume of filings, it will be unable to meet the 15-day processing goal of the service.
During the 30-day period, USCIS plans to review its decision to halt premium processing of I-140s, and could extend the suspension beyond August 1 if, due to its workload, the agency remains unable to guarantee 15-day processing. Note that premium processing services are currently suspended for I-140 petitions for which a labor certification substitution is being requested, pursuant to a new Department of Labor (DOL) regulation that prohibits substitution of labor certification beneficiaries beginning July 16, 2007.

I know the feeling of the people who got stuck in BEC.
My Current LC PD is Jun 04 - EB2, before that I had two LC's PD of Jun 2001 and Sep 02 of EB2, Since I switched my employer I was unable to use those LC's even though I was promised by both Ex - Employers ( But it turns out to $$$$$ Demand from the Ex).
Since I made the decisions to switch employers, I don't have any regrets. And am I hoping for 3rd time luck now.
Rather than complaining about the systems, I think we have to focus on how
1) To get back the Unused Visa # from year 2000 (Almost 180K #'s)
2) To increase in yearly Visa # from 140 K to 280K or even more
3) To make USCIS to not to count the dependents towards the VISA #'s
The current USCIS policy counts all the dependents towards the available VISA #'s (I believe the formula is 2.5 per primary Applicant)
That means the country quota of 7 % (9800/2.5 = 3920) available to any one country (All the categories). If this is true, I really don't know when we can the see the light.
Of course IV is focused on this issues, I am basically reiterating it again. This effort needs humongous resources.
So please contribute $$$, your efforts and time.
Positive thinking will help to achieve the Goal

I called all the numbers and talked to congressional staffers. I was lucky that i got to talk to a person and not VM.
Many of them assured me that congressman is supportive of the immigration issues and will probably support the bills. Two of the staffers took my home address.
It is my first time calling congressmen offices and i was surprised to find it fairly easy :)

Remember Lame duck session. Now imagine having twice as many members, double the number of phone calls and faxes and emails. Double the activity and contributions.
We do have to make sure that next time (read: Jan 2007) We go with a bigger organisation. What is the use of talking strategy or doing things with the same number of people.
Leave the strategy to the core team, Please help out with adding members.
Does the IV core team plan on sharing their strategy for the New Year with the new members?

In our state chapter meeting one of the idea "is to post ad in the local theatres where Indian movies are being shown" - I bet there are good potential members coming to the movies..
To post in local theatres, the state chapter members have agreed to pitch in and cover the cost rather than requesting from IV core.

The online application system gave me a date of Nov 27th. I go to consulate on the scheduled time to find that the office is closed. That's really bad. Luckily here in NYC, I went on the same day on Nov 27th and it was opened. The passport was sent to me by mail and received it in 10 days. I was surprised by the way the crowd was handled. I think it depends on the top person who is in-charge of the consulate.

people this is such less amount, ready to pay so much money for renewing visas etc, but you can't sign up for 20 or 50 every month. This is really becoming like begging..I do understand everyone has family commitment and other financial need but $20/month is not too much !!
Step up and show we're united and can resolve this, if not time contribute financially,
Your words won't help mjdup. These guys have a skin of rhino. They don't have any self esteem or dignity. Please don't beg them....one day when IV will close and nothing will happen, these same people will beg GOD to send an IV for them and by the time it would be so late that they will curse themselves... :mad:

The good thing is eliminating the country quota is always lumped with doubling the total quota and/or recapturing previous years waste, so hopefully the affect evens itself out.. Eliminating the coutry qouta by itself is a disaster.
the elimination of country quotas alone only redistributes pain...where our goal is to end everyone's pain. we asked for all the measures on our agenda and we support the whole package together. we want a better immigration system for everyone.

Instead of writing a letter, why not start with a phone call. Find out a bit about the staff ahead of time (Google, Linkedin, etc.) and then call the person that is most likely to be helpful. Then ask for a meeting.
Let's start a phone call.

I don't know if there was a memo. I think AILA communicated this to the lawyers and I read it on Ron Gotcher's forum.
Apparently, the re-interpretation of laws were based on the changes in AC21, something they were ignoring till 2008.
Removal of country quota in EB catagories (if excess visa's available in any catagory, becuse of 7% impossition) was due to AC21 law. This was a result of hard effort by similar group like IV in 1998/99. DOS paid attention to this law only in 2007 (after 7 years). I think some lawyers/AILA brought this to DOS.
