Agreed, It is very unfortunate for people stuck in backlogs and I feel your pain... But would you rather have seen USCIS waste over 40000 visas by the end of the year without any PD movement (as reported by some on this forum)? We would have had another thread here blasting the inefficiency and unfairness of USCIS.
Bottomline, I would not like to work in USCIS right now.. They are basically damned if they do, damned if they dont. That said, I do hope that BECs get their act together like USCIS is trying to and get everyones labor cleared by the deadline before the next retrogression hits.
Guys,
Let's not assume that visas wasted by USCIS would have been allocated to India or China. This would not have happened as these countries can not get more visa numbers than the numerical cap of 7% of the world-wide EB quota.

Wow. That's a lot of Approvals in a day.
Congratulations to all from my side and enjoy the new found freedom.
To all gurus here, does this mean that we can expect date forward movement in OCT bulletin?
Mine is EB2 India Apr 2008. Any chance for me to file i-485?

Funds are what is needed, not mere members. Although at one point I thought the more the members, the more the funds. Oh!. Excuse me, I really did not want to say "Funds" or "Contribution". :D

There are just too many fond memories to share in one post... but I do want to specially thank leo2606 who drove 70 miles to pick up myself, venkygct, vsraja and punjabi at the Dulles airport and then took us out for breakfast, then to the rally venue, then for lunch, finally to a hotel room we had booked for a quick shower, basically... like a shadow he was with us wherever we wanted to go! And... whenever we thanked him (and gdhiren who co-ordinated pickups/dropoffs for many others like the 4 of us) these guys, instead of saying something like "You are welcome", would profusely thank us for flying in!
Its people... like leo2606 and gdhiren.. and many others are the true strength of IV!

that the current application processing range is 6-10 months after filing. Given the current economic conditions, it would be beneficial to see the application approved rather than worry about delays.

If the petition is filed as a COS H1, then USCIS should approve it with an attached I-94 unless there are any doubts in which case, it still approves it but without an I-94 and sends a cable to your home country visa consulate where you would have to go and get the visa stamped before Oct 1st and come back to start working...
If her current status is Valid and is H4 and If the attorney does the paper work right as Change of Status she should get an I94 attached to the approval notice. In that case she does not need to get it stamped to work. But if she leaves the country for any reason she should get the H1B stamped.

Usually at this stage, RFEs are for Employment verification. Did you use AC21 to change job or roles? Did you change your house address?

As some of you know, I have been working with news media, government leaders, and immigration lawyers over the past year because of the stimulus debacle. As a result, I have developed some strong contacts in government. I will be meeting some congressional immigration staffers in the next few days and I have developed a list of issues to discuss. If you want to post your own issues, feel free to do so in this thread and I will add them to the list. These are the same people who helped get the last stimulus bill changed in our favor, so they do have influence.
PLEASE be brief - bullet points would be good.
Also links to articles to support your concerns are welcome. I will put together a package to hand out at the meeting.
I thought of posting a poll on this thread, but decided it would be better to leave the discussion open ended.
Totoro: I really liked the way you alone initiated and handled the fight against Stimulate Package - ITIN issue. You can be a true leader and helpful in many way to this/any community. People like you can make difference in people's lives.
There are so many issues we are facing as a community. Let's pick top 3 ( OR 5 )for you to discuss with them. If there is any room, you can discuss least imp. issues as well.
Issue NO 1: Retrogression / Backlog for EB3/EB2
How to solve it ?
- Visa Recapture
- Saving visa by not issuing visas to applicant who are not current as per "Processing Times' Currently, CIS is approving many I-485s with PDs having currant but are not currant as per ' Processing Times'. 'Processing Times' needs to be respected. This will save huge number of visa for retrogressed countries.
- Buying Visa for dependants and not counting towards annual cap. ( Easy way to reduce backlog - more than 50% visa would be saved. Will solve problem in 1-2 years. No other action required.)
- Removing per country limit.( Requires changes in law - tough task/long shot.)
- Buy a house and get a GC idea ( its been widely discussed in media ...)
- Any more suggestion ?
-
Issue NO: 2 Allowing people to file I-485 /EAD/AP even their PD is not current. - MUST BE DONE.
Let's help these guys who can't file I-485/EAD as their PDs are not current. These are the people who are likely to suffer most in case of a job loss/visa issue. Even, their LCA/ I-140s are approved, it will become useless if they get fired/companies run some in problems etc. which can happen to any one in current times. Personally, I say - this should be our priority - can be fixed easily. It would also attract them to join us. A dying soldier saves other first.
Issue NO: 3
Issue NO : 4
Issue No - 5 Allowing work-permit for H4/dependants ( Not that important but will change lives for many)
Issue No - 6 AC21 - Helps greatly to individuals in tough times in maintaining their status. Any further modifications for AC21 ?

I think spillover method has not been changed since years. The only puzzle is that whether it is horizontal or vertical or combination of both that USCIS works with we exactly do not know.
Do you guys agree ?
In my opinion equal share of spillover count to oversubscribed EB categories for a particular year would be the final and legitimate solution.

I was under impression that being on H1b u cannot do intra day trading.. you can do only routine trading ( dont know excat term ) in which u buy stock and keep it for some time and sell it .. generally 3-4 days..
I do not know of any rule that separates Daytrading from any other trading style.
It is an investment .
Anyways I am no lawyer but I can ask my Tax agent to clarify if possible

There is new data available regarding the PERM LC data, like how many PERM has been approved so far, I have tried to copy and and paste, but could not make it work. To sum it up, it is very bad for indian born applicants, while China Mainland is not too bad, since they have far few people in line comaring to Indians.
I can find the link for you guys. It is seems with any policies changes, it will be decades for Indian priority date to be surrent.
If you can please post the link..it will be great!!!!!
and also explain why do you feel it bad for India..
