It�s really a sad state for us, first the lawyer�s then the BEC delayed the cases, then the july fiasco.
With a PD of 11/01 I am not sure porting to EB2 will be worth it specially with premium I-140 gone and the costs associated, ????? :(

I am wondering the same for 2002 applicants. I wonder if many people were approved in 2007 fiasco and if yes, then why PD is stuck at Nov 2001?
I am also thinking the same that many might have been approved in 2007, because most of these applicants had a chance to apply before the gates were closed in 2005, and would have been approved in 2007. But 0 responses is still odd.
The reasons for Nov 2001 PD could be due to backlog processing centers that held sway over these applicants (non-RIR cases), but by same yardstick, there still should be some cases in early 2002. Odd indeed (though a good kind of "odd", as we will get a welcome jump in dates once they ball starts rolling).

maybe we should have a 'sounding board' section where such threads can be started where you can cirb all you want about desi companies/consultants and other issues you want to get out of your system. You do realize that many people read these threads. Spritied discussions are great but upto a certain point and if they help the cause.
We are a small community here and all of us are stuck in a problem we DID NOT create. we are a part of a system that is broken. Instead of crying about problems, lets try and figure out ways to solve one for a change.
if people cannot contribute financially, conrtibute your time and talk to people about IV. Try to meet sucessful/influential immigrants and see if they can help us out, see if they can help us with their contacts. Try to seek people who are stuck in this mess and educate them about it. Get leads on people who can help us out.
Start a thread that mentions what you have done to help IV maybe people will learn from that
thanks,

PAPPU,
I got a response from the dowjones guy .Mark.Boslet@dowjones.com
I will write to him.
On a side note, It appears that false propaganda is being spread about our taxes and SS contributions we make to raise more anti feelings about us.
To the contrary we contribute to the SS coffers without making use of it. We need to counter this.
Thanks pls follow up with him. more people writing to reporters will help convert a suggestion into a printable Article

Credibility is lost if dissenting views are deleted. Let's agree to disagree AMICABLY.
Let's agree to disagree- I am very uncomfortable with the attacks on those who share dissenting views or who attack IV core team etc. Let's not forget that we're a democracy and thus entitled to share dissenting views - it is actually healthy.
On the other hand, at the end of a slugfest, we should make some progress. I have not seen any progress in all slugfests. My previous post has an example.
In my own very narrow/assinine/conceted/... way, progress is contributing to IV. Hence, I am focussed on progress in following.
Core is negotiating with a lobbying firm. I understand that QGA was paid 60K.
1. Where is the money for the lobbying firm?
2. Whose problem is it to arrange money for the lobbying firm?
3. How does discussing any issue in the forums help us in arranging money for the lobbying firm?

In the US for 11 years now. - 7th year H1B
Thanks for starting this topic!!! This could be an emotional thread for a lot of us who are still waiting for this rediculously long process of GC!!!!
More frustrating when:
Waited for 3++ yrs for the labor cert (PD Sept 2002)
Just submitted I140 (6/2006) but have to endure the fear that my EB2 will be kicked to EB3, which means RETROGRESSION!
With H4, wife cannot work. Going to school is too expensive..i can't afford it with my small salary
Stucked with current company...being under appreciated and under utilized by the current employer...not a place for me to build my CAREER!!!
Have potential contract jobs/independent consultant positions available (recruiters contacted me) which pay 50% than what i am making now...but can't accept those offers bcos of GC!!!!
So so tempted to return home for good (sick and tired of the WAIT), but Everyone was saying "u had waited for years now, so why not wait for another year or so to get it..don't waste the golden opportunity" But...but...is it really going to be just another YEAR? :rolleyes:
Sigh...sorry for venting...but i am really upset!
Going back to Career options...
**yeah, i would like to get a PMP cert, but it is pretty EXPENSIVE. But maybe some of us who done that can advice me.
**About buying houses....really clueless about it...really scare i will get ripped off by people..any advice?
** Yes..i want to know more about E-Visa and making $$ via online business!
Thanks all....

Since Visa numbers trickle down, the more visa numbers there are available, the more will trickle down to countries with high demand... recapturing visa numbers might be easier than taking a poke at per country limit.. IMHO...
Recapturing lost numbers is not a permanent solution. Per country limit 7% is ridiculous. We need to make sure we are not discriminated against by the per country limit. Its not my fault that someone from Europe doesnt want to come here and not so many from Africa or south america qualify for the EB visas.

My Second $100 on the way. It should reach IV on 28th.
Great job and keep it up.
I talked about this IV to lots of my immigrant friends who are in different stages of GC processing. I feel those folks are thinking of getting a free ride with others contributions and hard work. I can only pity them for not being a part of the team. This kind of character would get them GC but would not get them to top in any profession. Still I did not lose my heart. I will keep on talking about IV with them and I beleive, one day they will feel to contribute.

that number is too less to be true.
what abt the third processing center.. why did they leave that out..?
:confused:
One of the IV members has requested me to post this info.
He contacted his senator to get the total number of pending EB apps for India.
Please see the response from the senator in the following link. It has pending applications by category.

Six key Congressmen and Senators
Washington and NYC, Tuesday, May 01, 2007
HLG will be traveling to Washington DC for a meeting Wednesday with a Senator�s lead staffer on immigration. The Senator is one of the six people who we have regularly mentioned as key on this issue.
The meeting was set-up by one of our best clients. The purpose of the meeting is to impress upon the Senator's staffer the importance of a �bridge� bill to end immediately Schedule retrogression. This is the fifth different HLG staffing company/facility client who has successfully set-up such a meeting in the last six weeks.
We are guardedly optimistic that a bridge bill can be passed in the near term, in spite of Congressional leaders� apprehension. As we have previously mentioned there is an inverse relationship between the likelihood of a bridge bill and CIR. To some degree this is understandable � Congresses overall goal is to pass a major immigration bill that solves many needs, not just healthcare�s desires.
After the Washington DC trip, we head to New York City for our Annual Symposium. We currently have full registration for this event. We look forward to seeing everyone. We�ll try and post over the next few days, although that may be impossible in light of the travel plans. In the meantime, if anyone has any connection with the �Big Six,� please try and set up an appointment. HLG will surely attend and advocate.
Here are the six key Congressmen and Senators:
Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)
Sen. Edward Kennedy (D- MA)
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL)
Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)
Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA)

WaldenPond,
Thanks for all the efforts you have made for us. Just contributed 200$ , please ask others to contribute too. Together we all need to give that one last giant push......
Friends ,
I appeal to all of you, this is the best time to start enegizign ourself and contribute for the cause.... I have done my second contrbution ...let's do it..
Hello anurakt,
Thank for contributing again to IV. You and other members like yourself would be the reason for IVs success in changing the flawed green card system.
Thank you for encouraging other IV members for contributing. As you know, this is very important and more amongst us should encourage our fellow IV members to contribute. Often times it is evident that few IV members are struggling to keep a positive tone on the forums. As you may have experienced, it is easy to post few messages here and there. The message of some of these posts is to throw out ideas for others to implement. But in the end, the success of our community will depend on the contribution from kind members like you. Thank You.
Regards,
WaldenPond

Let me tell you about my experience. I had accident two times one on the street in front of stop sign. My mistake. The other guy hired an attroney to get claims from me. My insurance attroney went on asking for more and more time and finally they made a settlement around $2K. This is a normal american negotiation
My second accident, it was on the freeway and a BMW car hit me at the speed of 70 miles. Called 911 and medical came and asked me whether i was okay and i had no problem the other car bumper was dislogged. They went to nearest medical hospital and was reported a scratch on their body. They made a big claim. My insuarance lawyers were not able to solve the case so the insurance lawyers hired a expert lawyer for me. I met the expert lawyer and he asked me about the accident. He told me that this is a normal way of opening a big window and the insurance lawyer has to close them. Once i got the court paper work he replied with a letter for 90 days time then delayed more. The other party was paying for his hired laywer to sue me and was draining money in the end he signed a full release paperwork with little payment.
Another case, of my nearest friend, Her daughter was tralleving with her friend who was driving the car and dashed on a pole and the passenger girl died on the spot. The girls parrents put a lawsuit and the other person had millions in his bank account (the car was insured with min requirement 15K/30K..) the case went till 4 years and in the end the lawyers made money and settled the case. They blamed the state for roads.
This is how the lawyers make money. Don't worry about anything. Take it easy Whatever happens. If you want remove money for your personal expense like parents needs in india and send them. It will take 18 months to solve and the judges are also bored becasue they hear them everyday.
My insurance lawyer told me this is the way we all make money so don't worry don't talk to the other party. If you get any letters send to the insurance company.
there was a another accident one indian driver made a left turn when the lights were green and three cars hit him. He had minimum insurance and he emotionally suffered for few months. All the other cars who hit had to fix their cars.
(all the above incident happened in CA, and i had been in US(CA) for 7 years).
Don't worry. I drive 100 miles on a busy freeway everyday. Nothing happens if you don't have money.

They moved from 8/1/2002 to 9/22/2002.
According to the I485 inventory they published, there is what.. 400 cases between these two date, why only move 400 cases per month = 4800 per year when the annual quota for EB3 ROW is what.. around 30,000?
Never mind the spillover, can ROW just get its normal quota at least?
Yeah, exactly, that's what I don't get either. We know it's not a huge amount of cases they've got in that time frame, so what is the slowdown. This is maddening.
