I agree. EB3-I would go U for rest of the year.
I wish EB3-I and EB2-I go to U in this bulletin. It may be possible then, that people will start acting. Else we keep doing this every month. Look what we did this time last year or 2007. Same dreaming about the bulletin and then wait for next month.
God "make this bulletin U for all folks and , then they will start making some noise atleast"..
Who stopped us to write to senators and President who has even a Website open to take our feedback..

I agree with mpadapa,albertpinto and other folks.
US is going to gain something.
- We are staying in the apartment more than 8-9 years, we want to live in the own house but we cannot buy a house.
- We have some idea and we want to implement it but we cannot do it.
- We want to send our kids in the private school but we are sending in the public school and charted school.
- We want to go for MBA/Higher education on own expense but we cannot do it.
- We want to buy 57-60 inch LCD TV and other luxorious items but We cannot buy it.
- We want to go on the Vacation/Home country but we cannot go.(Visa restriction for people whose H1 is expired or working on the EAD)
Money is required for all above items. Each item will give at least micro level boost up to the US economy. But without GC we cannot spend/invest our hard earned money. Because we don't know what is going to happen of our status tomorrow.
Another most important things, when we came to this country most of us were mid twenties and now most of us are mid thirties. We earned money but we gave best of time of our life to this country.
I would like to share some real life experiences from my friends so that we can debate the questionable topic of what America is losing by prolonging immigration benefits.
1) Friend A – (Current status - H1B) Came to US in 1999 for his higher education and later joined a Fortune 500 company on H1b. In early 2006, he quit and started a consulting company with his GC friend and transferred his H1 to the same company. He applied for his I-140+I-485 during the July fiasco and got his I-140 approved in May 2008. Currently there are 15 employees working for his company and the annual revenues stand at around $1 million. He is also planning to start offshore operations in the near future.
2) Friend B – (Currently in India) – Came to US during the Y2K era and later joined a Fortune 500 company as a consultant on H1B and immediately purchased a 3 bedroom home. He stayed in one of the rooms and leased the other 2 rooms to his friends and used the rental income towards mortgage payment. Four years later he sold his home for a hefty profit, left for India and started an offshore consulting company.
3) Friend C – (Current Status - TN) – Came to US during the Y2K era on L1 through a top MNC from India. Since his employer wasn’t sponsoring his GC, he applied for Canadian PR and got the same by 2003. He relocated to Canada, got his citizenship and joined a Fortune 500 company in US on TN visa. He’s not bothered about US GC at all as his Canadian passport provides unrestricted visa free access to 125 countries around the world.
4) Friend D – (Current Status – H1B) – Currently works for a Fortune 500 company as a consultant on H1B. He lives in a posh apartment and drives a Mercedes C class sport sedan though his GC process is not even initiated.
5) Friend E - (Current Status - US GC holder) - Came to US during the Y2K era and got his GC in 2003. Currently lives in a single bedroom apartment with his wife/kids and is known for frugal life style in spite of living in US for almost 10 years. So much is his frugality that he postponed purchasing a $500 worth laptop for many months so that he could save money towards his India trip. He still drives a late 90’s run down Honda Civic.
6) Friend F - (Current Status - US Citizen) - Came to US during the Y2K era and got his GC in 2002 and US citizenship in 2007. Currently earns close to $100K, but still lives in a single bedroom apartment with a frugal life style. As far as I know he had never washed his car (late 90’s Honda) and avoids eating out.
7) Friend G - (Current Status - US Citizen) - Came to US during the Y2K era and got his GC in 2002 and US citizenship in 2007. He purchased a 3 bedroom home even when his I-485 was pending and currently lives a normal life style just like many of us and plans to retire in India.
Hence the underlying fact is that, there’s no relationship between a person’s immigration status and his/her contribution to America and it’s crazy to believe that people will go on a spending spree or start companies as soon as they receive GC’s.
BTW I’ve got a Home Theater at my apartment and my current status is H1B with pending I-140 + I-485 :)

Good Morning people.
A new beginning today. We missed our target of 2000 yesterday. Today we have a new target.
$3000.00 by mindnight EST.
Will we make it or will we miss again?
Common IV'rs, this a chance at redemption. Let us show the anti-immigrants that we are UNITED.

Oh Law Firm Update :
09/28/2007: Depressing News for the Year-End Backend 485 Delays and Potential Waste of Visa Numbers for FY 2007
Unconfirmed sources indicate that two days before the end of FY 2007, there may be a substantial number of 485 applications for which visa numbers are available but have yet to be adjudicated, indicating that some visa numbers could be wasted this year. We know that the Service Centers have been working day and night and did not have enough resources to deal with the crisis which was brought about by the recent Visa Bulletin fiasco. We just hope for the better new fiscal year that will start from October 1, 2007.

Morally it is right to send money to parents, but legally it is not. As you can strive but, you wont be fair to either set of parents. Hence I believe "money" should not be sent to parents. Your parents should have planned their own future, including humanitarian needs. Only if your other half agrees, then only you should send money. Otherwise, it is your and your spouse's money.
Yes, you are right! The Indian parent should have given their retirement a very high priority than their kids education. There are millions of middle class parents who didn't care about their retirement but worried and planned for their kids future by spending not only money but also precious time.
How many Indian origin parents in US invest in their children to make them a 'well rounded' personality so that these children can go to IVY leagues? I believe, it is time for them to focus on their retirement than to spend money on Kumon, Music/Dance classes, soccer/swimming lessons, softball/little league, chess lessons, spelling bee etc...
And why should they move to a sprawling four bedroom home in a suburb and save on heating cost by making their home as an igloo? The reason is their kids can get more space to play around, get a sense of community and build friends.
Just a 3BR aptmt should suffice. And why would a returning NRI want to enroll his kids in an International school?
Your post is a great eye-opener to NRI parents here! It is time for them to do what is
'just enough' for their kids and load up their IRA, 401K and after tax mutual fund or probably put it in a CD or stash it under a mattress! You know why, the ungrateful kid doesn't care about the parents even during humanitarian crisis!
Here is my figment of imagination if society stoops to that level...
Our hero would visit his parents apartment with his wife in tow, alight from his beamer and tell "Alright dad, It's OK if you don't have money to treat your cancer. We would surely help you thru our contacts. Our temple group has a special program. Also it's a great advantage that my wife has lots of contacts in her part-time business. She's also a part of a church group that takes up urgent humanitarian needs..Don't worry, we'll make it"

The cutoff date in Oct/Nov bulletin will be somewhere in 2002 so that people with older PD can be cleared. Remember it is only during last few months of the Fiscal Year that USCIS starts widening the Window (Example: In June Bulletin they moved windows by 2 yrs suddently from 2001 to 2003. So i believe they are aware there are lot of people in 2001/2002 yet without approval). During initial months of FY they keep the cutoff date tight which should help older PD's get through.

Great! Someone should give you an award for motivation
For your information, i have contributed to IV monetarily. It just does not show up on the handle for some reason i do not know.
So you are looking for motivation? Your post do not indicate that you are looking for motivation. There are those who are undecided or who cannot find enough energy/motivation to do something, and those people need motivation. You don't fall in that category. You are pretty much convinced that you don't belong here. Now you are just spoiling the environment to make sure that others all leave looking at you and mad-dog bickering. And one need not be a rocket scientist to figure that out. Its obvious. There goes your flag for "award for motivation". What's next, you need a shoulder to cry?

One thing for sure USCIS do likes April fools day a lot as this the date they usually pick when the retrogress. This proves that a fool named DOS in love with April fools day.:)
I don't know if anybody has noticed it but the dates for EB-2 for VB October 2007 was April 1, 2004 and for VB October 2008 is April 1, 2003. That is a retrogression of 1 year - not good. :mad:

EB2 benefited from EB1 spillover once this bucket is full - I'm sure EB3 will move a great deal.
Another reason could also be EB2ROW spillover.
It is unfortunate for EB3 folks that their dates are not moving.
Let us wait for the official DOS bulletin and see what reasons they give to advance the dates significantly. Else IV can contact DOS to know how these projections were made.

My PD is Dec. 04, and my I-485 was filed during the july fiasco in 2007. My PD was current since March 08 until it will become "unavailable" in June 08.
My attorney got update from Nebraska SC in May stating "Your case is in queue for green card." Now what will happen to my case since EB-3 ROW will be unavailable in June? Does that mean an IO once opened my file after March and will close it without processing any further because of the change in the June Visa Bulletin?
I am confused. Please share your insights and experiences.
Thank you.

Hi folks,
I'm a desperate house spouse(H4) and now not only I can't work but I can't drive either because the current visa expires on May 10 and the new extension is not here yet. The folks at DMV didn't wanna give an extension for the DL unless I bring a new I 94. Now the poor H1 has to do 2 jobs
1. work his but off at work to get GC
2. drive the kids up and down, do the shopping, etc etc because the desperate h4 can't move a finger.
Anyone in the same barrel?
Please give some toughts.:rolleyes:
