Oh your status said mentioned it as "RESPECTED". May be you are a special case for USCIS. Good for you.
I hope you realize that the only thing you gained is the disrespect of your peers. Enjoy it.
It doesn't matter if I am special to USCIS or not. I got GC by not jumping the line and by being rightly qualified in the EB2 category when most people have resorted to other means such as fraudulent L1A's, unethical porting and substitution.
You may feel disrespected if you are one of those line jumpers!

I was just getting more information on EB3 India on the net.And found an interesting blog(It makes sense to me and that why i am posting this thread)
Skilled Immigration to USA: Hidden Aspects: Retrogression Math for Dummies - EB3 India Edition (http://skilledimmigrants.blogspot.com/2006/12/retrogression-math-for-dummies-eb3.html)
Its a 2006 blog , but it makes sense even today for EB3 India
Finally that's when you switch on your calculator and start working with the numbers. There are 140,000 visa numbers available under all the employment based categories, with 7% per country limit and 28.6% allocated for EB3 and dependents counted into the numbers, there are only about 115 EB3 primary applicants allowed from India per month. Throw in a few thousand illegals(amnesty) into the mix and now you have the royal screw-up as is happening now. The law allows visa numbers from unused countries to be transferred to the oversubscribed countries but with nearly every category retrogressed this law won't apply for a while.
The future looks toooo dark even to mention.
Jago EB3 Indians Jago
The biggest problem with lot of EB3-Is with older PDs is that they won't switch jobs and port to EB2. they will cite number of reasons for maintaining the status quo i.e their EAD status post July 07.
A handful will march to washington DC and get the senators to know them by their "first names". Others will simply chip in a few hundred bucks and make themselves feel they are the Buffets and the Gates of this world. Still others will simply fume and fret. Some will preach how porting EB3->2 means "gaming" the system.
All very experienced EB workers who think they can get the best of everything at the price of nothing. Who want everything "risk free".
Green cards in the mail and smooth upward progressions in their careers.:D

right. in the AILA call also they cautioned that retrogression will become worse (dates moving back!) once USCIS starts processing all those July/August filers...
Once USCIS completes data entry of all 800K 485s (may be with in next month) they will have clear picture. They may give a report to DOS, how many waiting in each catagory (EB1,2,3) with PD with countrywise break out. Then DOS will easily setup the cutoff dates. This may happen in Jan or Feb.
I feel that EB3 India may stay like this (in 2001). EB2 India may go back to 2003 or 2002 , based on how many guys in EB3 with PD 2002, 2003 converts to EB2. All other countries may see slight forward movement.

Can you please let us know the procedure? I'm very much interested in filing a formal complaint with the CIS and Ombudsman. I'm not against genuine candidates getting their GC through MNC executive category, but would like to stop this malpractice.
You can email to Ombudsman at CISOmbudsman.Publicaffairs@dhs.gov providing all the detaisl. As a routine they ask to fill a form with your case particulars, explaining why something investigation should be done. Those forms are then sent to USCIS, who routinely give some absurd explanation.
In other words, it could help if there are lot of emails, or letters to Ombudsman (address and fax # can be found on their website - google for it). Emphasis should be on USCIS inefficiency, not following the sequence, PD's etc., if several example cases (via filling forms as they need those for privacy reasons). Give simple examples, such as in May 07, EB2-India cutoff was April 04, now in May 09, it is Feb 04, whereas in the meantime many with PD's in 2005 and 2006 have been granted visas. Why?
Note that PD's, a very important critieria for retrogressed country cases, are not anywhere other than the paper applications. Therefore, USCIS/DOS have no way to know who should or should not be processed next. They claim that they process cases in order they receive (paper filings). By processing, they mean they check all docs (birth certificates, medicals, photos) AND Priority Date currency. If at the moment your file is being looked at, your PD is not current, it is put aside. This completes their processing of your case, and they move to the next one. What happens to cases put aside in this way, is not defined or clear. In last quarter, they ask permission to work on larger number of cases (which they get via widened PD cutoffs). unfairness is evident with this process.

My attorney sent an email inquiry to DOL regarding my case. Within less than 12 hours a response was received -
It sounds like a pre-written text that goes to every inquiry they get.
Thanks for sharing your experience, I dont buy into their FIFO process. May be its applicable in the Non-Audit cases but cases that get audited are just being piled up at someone's desk and that person is most likely dead (does not exist) :mad:

What USCIS did to the other worker category in June was clearly a violation of Federal regulation (8 CFR Section 245.1(g)) - however since the numbers were insignificant, the violation went unnoticed.
It goes without saying that AILA will file a federal law suit seeking immediate interim relief, if the USCIS does this again...
The repercussions of such a law suit will be worse for the USCIS and very good for the filers. If the judge grants interim relief, that will mean USCIS cannot close the doors until the law suit is settled...USCIS is probably already aware of this possible repercussion and will most certainly avoid this lawsuit situation...
There are an estimated 250,000 (primary) filers expected to take advantage of the July visa bulletin...a number that is hard to go unnoticed...
AILA has already sent a legal memo to the USCIS, not to violate Federal regulation (8 CFR Section 245.1(g)), he is pretty confident, USCIS will continue to accept I-485s at least until the end of July...

We need a LOT more chinese who actively participate in the forums also. You are our best messenger to other Chinese. Please publicize IV's efforts to the Chinese community.
Our Bill is expected to come up in Feb. Please act ASAP.

Hi All,
Regarding my I-485 appln. status - I do remember seeing "Request for Evidence" status before. Currently I see "Request for Evidence Response Review". I see this status change although there are no LUDs.
Throw in your input Gurus !
Thanks
When USCIS sent you the RFE notice, you would have seen "Request for Evidence". After USCIS receives your response, you would have seen the hard LUD, while the header is still for RFE. Then after some days (with in 60 days), the header changes to "Request for Evidence Response Review", while the old header "Request for Evidence" vanishes. I was in the same boat like you. I spoke to my attorney's team and they offered me the insight glimpse of working of USCIS.

I have a 11 pages PERM, where can I see in which category was certified. I don`t find any information. Please advice.
I think it is on Page 2 (Section H: Job opportunity information) --> Item # 4 = Education: minimum level required. If it is checked as "Masters" or "PHD" it is EB2, if not it is EB3.
This is my interpretation. It took my 3 months to get my job profile changed from Masters preffered to Masters Required. Hope this is what it is. I have been assured by my lawer it is EB2

I am currently on H1B visa. My understanding is that as long as my H1B is thru my employer it is perfectly legal to start/buy/partner in a company .... as long as I do not withdraw a pay check from that company. Furthermore, as long as I am maintaining my legal status thru my American employer, it would be legitimate to sponsor an H1 for my wife, hire her in the company I own. If some one could clarify ..... is my understanding flawed ? Please provide examples/experiences. Any relevant input would be great.
Another related question was if I change my status after starting my company to F1 .... would that be fine ? Or after I change my status to F-1, would it be fine to start my own firm/company/partnership/practice (PA/LLC/PLLC) and then transfer my wife's H-1 B in this newly created entity. FYI .... This new entity would be perfectly legitimate PA/LLC/PLLC with solid revenues/earnings/5-10 american employees .... and my wife would be fully qualified to work in this entity as a highly compensated employee providing US govt with a lot of taxes .... all done by my savings AND/OR bank loans.
On another note, if I change my status to H4(dependent on my wife's H1) instead of F1, would the same hold good. My wife's full time H1 B would be thru an american employer. My PA/LLC/PLLC just sponser her part time H1 (2nd H1) .... you guessed it .... to start her permanent residency process. FYI .... Both of us are waiting for priority dates to get current to file I-485 .... both of us have I-140 approved from our respective employers as of now. This is an attempt to get out of their yoke and gain freedom as much as possible in these trying circumstances.
Gurus, your expert opinion would be invaluable. Please comment.
As per my understanding you cannot own a company while on H1.

If this kind of restriction is not done what will be best way to resolve H1b issue? If H1b increase is done and similar increase is not done on GC then also problem to all IV members(retrogession will continue). If there is cap then certainly it will be reached every year within April.
If they restrict consulting then Most of the H1b persons will get permanent job. Because of less number of H1 most of them will get gc within 2 or 3 years. GC holders and US citizens will do consulting. System will adjust iteself within a few months
What a poor logic. How would all H1s get permanent job if consulting is forbidden. Some probably would , but not all. (Not that it impacts me... just for argument sake).
As some one mentioned what would you call what IBM Global services , Oracle and Deloitte doing ? Consulting !!!!

You are talking about bringing a bill:
How many congressman and Senators have you met till now ?
You want to bring a bill without lobbying. So tell your plans. Let us all see.
You created your new ID, started a thread and you think that is a good start. I need to see something real in an idea than believing in your idea.
Well I had called a NY congresswoman when I was stuck in a H1 name check. I found them open and willing to help. She even contacted the FBI.
Well I am just an ordinary person, and the same as everyone here, and not saying I will do everything myself. There are persons who are better skilled at this and know the immigration law better.
Also don't rule out lobbying, I just said we also need something else that should justify our case without a lobby. I'm asking for suggestions or ideas.
I may be new here, If you see my post on the other forum, I'm asking for the creation of an organization with skilled people who will create a new campaign among legal immigrants. Kind of like Grass roots movement.
