A large number of cases for Apr 2001 is from specific countries. So, unless you belong to one of those, you should be ok as far as some movement goes. And Eb2 movement will slowdown beyond 2003, so no point in jumping on a ship that is sinking too.
My take on this issue:
You are trying to find a way out of a problem that needs legislative change, and all you are doing is creating more issues/questions for the USCIS and problems/more expense from your end.
mrajatish,
I completely agree with you 100%. Thanks for bringing some sense into this illusion.
Thanks.

EB3-ROW has demand of ~ 37K prior to 1 Jan 2007 and they have quota of ~ 30K for FY2011. So if USCIS does not mess up, then EB3-ROW should get to mid 2006 by Sep 2011.
My priority date is :september. 2005 , Eb3,ROW....can anyone tell me how many applications are pending before my priority date; and when i might be current?
Thank you in advance!

It is highly unlikely that EB3 I will move to the end of 2005, unless the DOS does another fiasco again. But again, it might not happen this time. Most if not all of the filers with PD in 2001, 2002 and 2003 had already submitted their 485s and USCIS can easily calculate the demand. The only way EB3 I can move fast is if they get some visas from other categories when they become current. I used to track down all 485 cases for the date I filed in VSC. In 2003, when I filed I had about 120 applications, now I have barely 20 of them that are pending. The rest of all are been approved, withdrawn or rejected. Also, the PD had moved towards mid 2002 a couple of times and it could have picked up many cases. So my theory is EB3 I will continously move slowly towards the later part of 2002 and then it will just crawl through 2003.

Legalize them and have them pay high taxes for 10 years after legalization, at which point they can apply for GC.
Let us see some math:
Assuming there are about 12-15 million of them
After legalization, let us say some leave and some don't and about 8 million work
Lets say on an average they make about $25,000
Lets say we make them pay 25 to 50% taxes = $12,500 (25 to 50% is really high for this income level)
Now, at 50% rate, 12,500 x 8,000,000 = 100,000,000,000 (100 Billion)
So in the next 10 years this will yield $1 Trillion (or a present value of $810 Billion with a discount rate of 5%)
And that solves the problem.
Okay I imagine myself as a illegal for a minute.
How much would these illegals ( mean unskilled) get paid per hour? $ 8?
Per day $8 * 8= 64
Per month 64* 21 days(excluding weekends)= $1344 (Gross)
per year $1344 * 12 months= $ 16128
If I pay $ 8000 as taxes what I'm I left with to feed my family? What is the cost of health insurance per month? About $1000(family) per month?
I can not think illegals paying 50% taxes, forget about illegals even if I'm asked to pay 50% taxes I will leave this country with in 4 months.
Any how politicians would not consider this. They will ask the illegals to pay a mere fine of 1000 or 2000 that's it.

Very good points Kshitij !
Np, still go ahead and file EB2 labor. You can later mark that I140 for consular. You can even keep it for 485 as most consulates in India will accept attorney certified I140.

I am thinking only applications before May 8th are included in this..
Please read
Only applicants who have a priority date earlier than the cut-off date may be allotted a number. Immediately that it becomes necessary during the monthly allocation process to retrogress a cut-off date, supplemental requests for numbers will be honored only if the priority date falls within the new cut-off date which has been announced in this bulletin.
from (THE OPERATION OF THE IMMIGRANT
NUMERICAL CONTROL SYSTEM PDF )
or read this para from visa bulletin September 2010

Best of luck.
I don't think you missed by a day..You should be current, Read the document "Operation of the Numerical Control Process" in the DOS website where visa bulletin is posted.
It clearly says, when DOS write cutoff date as 8th, all applications with priority date 8th-14th are included.
My priority date is May 9, 2006, so I think I am current as well.

GC has nothing to do with buying a new house. If you don't get the GC, you can simply sell the house and walk away from USA. Having a GC increases your financial capacity is just a myth:)
You are so wrong !! GC increases your financial capacity immensely. I am positive that once I have GC I can get a decent raise in my salary which I haven't gotten in a few years. As a matter of fact I had to refuse a sweet offer from a hot pre-IPO company just because I didn't have GC.

Hi Guys,
I came across this .Pls go thru it , a good attorney may help you
I-140 Revocation Impermissible if Beneficiary is in U.S.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On August 2, 2004, the Second Circuit Court of U.S. Appeals, in the case of Firstland International, Inc. v. Ashcroft, found that the Immigration and Nationality Act does not permit the USCIS to revoke an approved I-140 petition if the beneficiary has entered the United States. This means that, if an I-140 petition is approved and the beneficiary is in the U.S. or comes to the U.S. before the USCIS gives notice that it intends to revoke the I-140 petition, the revocation will not be effective. This addresses only USCIS-initiated actions to revoke I-140s, such as when an I-140 petition is approved and, at some later stage, the USCIS reviews it and comes to the conclusion that the prior approval was in error. In that event, USCIS would issue a Notice of Intent to Revoke, with a very short response time.
This should not be confused with situations in which the employer chooses to revoke the offer of employment and the I-140 petition. The Second Circuit decision in no way limits the power of the employer to revoke the I-140 upon termination of employment.
Note that the Second Circuit has jurisdiction only over Connecticut, New York, and Vermont, which means that other circuits do not have to follow this decision. When a federal circuit court of appeals issues such a decision, it nevertheless can positively impact decisions of other federal courts on a same or similar issue.

considering the following three facts
1.There has been lot of approvals in the month of june (60K)
2.There were not a lot of labor being filed in 2005 bcoz of perm compared to previous years
3.Out of the applications that uscis recieves almost 40% takes 2 years to finish FBI name check, so uscis needs to take much more applications than available visa numbers so that visas are not wasted
The EB2 india has very good chance to land somewhere in the end of 2005..

So what does this mean?
"My case is Pre-Adjudicated and awaiting security clearance and visa number "
I am EB2 India - PD Mar 2006
TSC
NC Not cleared (atleast wasn't till August 5 2008). Initiated Sept 2 2007.
Security clearance awaiting could be NC pending.
But why is it Pre-adjudicated then?
If they still waiting for NC to get cleared then doesn't like should be pre-adjudicated right?
(God knows why waiting for NC as its more than 180 days)
What exactly does pre-adjudicated mean? Any links to uscis website for this? Anyone?
Thanks.

Is this saying that 90% of the numbers would be used by end of May??
Many of the Employment cut-off dates have continued to advance more rapidly than might ordinarily be expected. This is a result of consultations with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) regarding their pending demand, which is currently using approximately 90% of all Employment numbers. USCIS has indicated that they would prefer to review a substantial number of cases at this time to ensure that number use in the various categories can be maximized. Should USCIS projections of the resulting number use prove to be incorrect it may be necessary to adjust the cut-off dates during the final quarter of FY-2008.
