Sure, though I am not back from a party... IT IS INDEED PARTY TIME FOR MANY :D
My question was more specific, with dates being current, can you apply for 485 on any day of next month July.
I suppose the next bulletin for Aug (that may probably be released 10 or 11 July) will be only effective since Aug 1st.
Please confirm.
Yes. If your visa is current in July. Then you have whole July to apply. Even if you deliver on Sundays. but i have no idea whether they accept application on Sunday's..

EB3 porting is a loophole like labor substitution.
when I came here 6 yrs ago, I had the option of applying in EB3 with a top 4 consulting US firm and I did not want to go that route. I waited until 2010 to apply in EB2.
Looks like People should come to the US as freshers or with 1-2 yrs experience > Apply in EB3 > Gain 5-6 yrs in experience > Port and BOOM, you have your GC.
How can people claim PD porting at a later date when they were not eligible on that specific date in the first place at that time? I know it's legal just like Labor Substitution.
Thats what i am saying. Agreed.

Senator Hilary Clinton introduced an amendment to exempt apllicant's dependents from visa quotos, which will reduce the retrogression signifcantly, why Core choose the Coryn's not supporting Hilary Clinton's? She is very likly to be our future president.
Her amendment is only for family-based petitions....not for employment based petitions, it will do nothing to alleviate retrogression.

Just imagine this, you spend 6 months training an international grad, spend $5000 - $7000 per H1B and after 1 - 2 yrs, you will have to start all over again. After a couple of months, the "new hire" will just be angry at you (just look at all the people on this forum who curse bodyshoppers - and just to clarify - I am not implying that the company you start will be a bodyshopping firm) and he will quit your company and join someone else. And you will have to start the process all over again. The guy who you hired on H1B will be now join someone else and depending on your business, you will be left high and dry.
I know this because the very first job I joined, the philosophy at the company was to hire fresh grads (the "get them cheap" works for American Grads too). My boss used to tell me "we can get two for the price of one". The year I got hired, the company recruited 15 new grads (a new "Product Development" dept. was being started) - and I was the only H1B. After 14 months, when the business started picking up, the company did not even bother to raise our pay or even recogonize us. Guess what happened? Over a period of 2 months, 12 of us quit for better jobs. Guess who now had to look for 12 people and at the sametime deliver the product to the clients on time?
If I understand your argument then you can conclude that: faster EB GC processing will decrease wage supression.
However, Kim Berry (in One Easy Fix For Immigration (http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jun2007/db20070620_915353.htm)) is saying that faster EB GC procesing will increase wage supression.
Please rephrase the above and blog it at One Easy Fix For Immigration (http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jun2007/db20070620_915353.htm). Thanks!

Now I see why you got banned. What you did not realize is others were not rejoicing anything "AT YOUR EXPENSE". They were just enjoying what was available to them. You are the one who wants to make it a zero sum game i.e. gain for others is loss for you and vice versa.
While others were celebrating what was good for them, you want to rejoice others pain. That is just *sic*. I retract my earlier support for you.
.
Please don't misunderstand me, I did not rejoice their pain, I rejoice what was good for me.

It is terrible that AF treated its customer like a piece of Shi$. I have never flown nor shall ever fly in that crap airline.
I would like to suggest one thing here. We (Indians), mostly, and I dont mean to generalize here, don't bother to "WRITE" letters to the company to express our dissatisfaction or frustration. Partly to blame for this attitude is because of the system we grew up in India where even if you complain we don't get any response, mostly. The customer service is lacking. So, in that mind set we most often feel its the same with other countries.
But I strongly feel, sending a letter to express our outrage would definitely bring a positive change. The Govt. of India, should intervene but, lets not keep up the high hope, its not going to happen....they are all busy making money to buy land, home, comercial complex, marry their daughters and sons extravagantly and endless greed. So, realistically, the Indian Govt. is not going to intervene. Shame on them!!!
Moving forward, I strongly urge all the folks in this thread who had a bad experience to write to AF and vent out your frustration and pledge not to fly with them ever again, and those of us who heard this story, just send an a mail to express the shock and question if we could also face the same situation should we decide to fly in AF.
The poster who send a mail to AF with the "B" word, I applaud him. He even got a response!!! Wow!! that's the magic and strength of writing. Trust me it works. Just write to the airline, expressing or venting out your frustration. Just one line is enough, if you think its not worth the time.
I felt like writing this comment because I don't want to be discriminated or treated differently(badly) because of my ethnicity or color.
So, my friends, please go to this link (AF Suggestions page) and let them know your feelings.

I cannot help laughing. That is the coolest analogy that anybody can think of, for the GC retrogression:)
I think this post should be sent in the humor section in one of the forthcoming IV newsletter, hoping that newsletter reaches congressmen/senators. Atleast they would sympathize with our plight.
Good one, indeed!!!
:D :D :D
Yes, I used to say like this five years back when I had time and age in my hand. I assume you are in early or mid 20's. I will put it differently for you.
Assume there is a big pond which starts from 1 feet and gradually increases up to 100 feet. People with one year work experience steps 0.5 feet. There are life jackets(GC) floating around the pool and whoever is lucky is picking it up. There are guys like me who are already in 5th-6th feet deep without finding the lifejacket, but we are sure if we go further, may be 3-4 feet more we WILL find it. There are guys who are lucky to find a life jacket at 1,2,3 feet also and happily float to the shore passing us. The fifth feet guy is practically seeing how the 6th and 7th feet guys are struggling. May be they are seeing some one in 8 feet to 10 feet. Now a big Tsunami (retrogression) comes and drags all the jackets 20 feet down further. These guys are dejected and some of these guys even pull their spouse/kids in one hand when they float/swim.
Dont forget, it takes one year to step 0.5 feet. Every year the pond management drops a fixed number of jackets. These guys keeps their hope alive based on the above fact. But these guys are seeing some kids passing in motorboat(LC Substitution) paying that guy 10K and getting a life jacket. Hmm pain, but even if I had a chance I would have also done it.
Now comes your saying. When the deepest s...t guys talks about their fate down the line and how to take their family safe ashore, a guy at 0.5/1 feet shouts saying "Dont give up, it is like deciding to take a sanyas because you are tired of dealing with social issues".
If you are in 5+ feet, I take your statment. Otherwise, you will not understand what I am trying to say until you reach 5+ feet without finding a life jacket and also pulling your family in one hand and seeing your seniors struggling more in 8+ feet. :)
NOTE: BTW, no offense. I thought to express what I am saying in different way. I understand what you meant. Cheers.

Irrespective of whether or not cheapass desi sw consulting companies have spoilt it for the rest of us, the point here is that making us wait for an unreasonably long time is something we ought to question..which is what I believe IV is doing
I dont mind if the congress passes a bill and says it's going to take 6 yrs for a person to get his GC..its the uncertainty around retrogression thats bugging me. If I know it's going to take 6 or 8 or 10 yrs, i'd gladly look elsewhere..perhaps even go back to my home country.

The main issue with Dems winning is that they will use the newly gained power to furthur their cause for 2008 presidency, but bringing down teh republicans. If taht takes priority which I fear it, immigration reform may go down the drain, as they try to retract all legislations passed by Bush, like tax cuts for oil Comapnies etc. and only work on potraying Republicans in a bad light.

I really can understand how you and the thousands like you feel. Let me however point out something. All those who got to file the 485 now have just put their name in the que. When you join the que by filing 485 you will move much ahead of most. Having said this, I still feel that this is not a proper way that USCiS should be handling cases and we should send a strong message that when there are cases to be dealt with they shouldn't be ignored and over run. I am not affected by this situation and am neither a beneficiary of this July bulletin, but very very strongly support your point. Please consult with IV leaders and get their opinion on this issue. They have been fighting for all our issues and I am sure they will have a plan of action to deal with this too. Wishing you all the best and hoping all our members support you. ONLY A CRYING BABY GETS MILK. thats how this world works.

Dear All,
All the infigting and ranting we do, only creates a lot of negative energy and negative vibrations. People will continue to do what is right for them and normally try to be in the right side of the law. There is no point discussing about this.
Let us all be clear that within the next year, despite the spillover, both EB2 and EB3 will get absolutley clogged - I expect EB2 and EB3 nos to become more or less equal and clogged. This situation is not going to benefit anyone.
The only possible thing is to try sincerely for some legislative relief, unitedly. Everyone knows that it is like moving a mountain. I spoke to many friends about IV efforts and tried my best sincerely to raise money for advocacy. It was a futile exercise. I felt so sad to realize that everyone I spoke to, was cynical and said that nothing would work out in our favour. Under such circumstances, it is essential that the very few who are committed to work stay united and sincerely try! For most of us with grown up children, this is the only way! Like it or not!
Why cannot all of us atleast make a small contribution for the advocacy? What is the problem?
Again, as a person who is seriously stuck in this mess with children on the verge of completing high school, I have very little options left. Most of the good colleges are NOT willing to consider "aliens" like us eligible for instate (local) tuition. Did anyone think of this? All of us will have to pay international fees! Who can pay $ 50000 per annum? Under the circumstances, please note that many of us will have to return to India or atleast move our families! I wrote a letter to my Senator about this and I got a response saying that he cannot do anything about it. Please think about all the consequences before wasting time on endless EB2 - EB3 fights!
I also want to repeat what I had said a few months back. No immigration system that is not time bound is fair or transparent. With all the sincerity at my command (I have nothing to gain in the process) I would request youngsters in their early and mid 30s to seriously consider options in other "First World" countries which have time bound immigration programmes for highly qualified immigrants. It is an endless wait here.Do you want to spend the next 10+ staring at the visa bulletin very month? . I do not want my junior countrymen to commit the mistake of sinking in this quagmire. With due respect to all the hard work of gurus like Teddy and others, I still feel that it would take about 12 - 15 years for anyone of us waiting beyond Jan 2007 (though I do not wish for it). What would be the state of the economy then? Any thoughts?

May the SUPREME POWER bless the Indian EB community!
All the infigting and ranting we do, only creates a lot of negative energy and negative vibrations. People will continue to do what is right for them and normally try to be in the right side of the law. There is no point discussing about this.
Let us all be clear that within the next year, despite the spillover, both EB2 and EB3 will get absolutley clogged - I expect EB2 and EB3 nos to become more or less equal and clogged. This situation is not going to benefit anyone.
The only possible thing is to try sincerely for some legislative relief, unitedly. Everyone knows that it is like moving a mountain. I spoke to many friends about IV efforts and tried my best sincerely to raise money for advocacy. It was a futile exercise. I felt so sad to realize that everyone I spoke to, was cynical and said that nothing would work out in our favour. Under such circumstances, it is essential that the very few who are committed to work stay united and sincerely try! For most of us with grown up children, this is the only way! Like it or not!
Why cannot all of us atleast make a small contribution for the advocacy? What is the problem?
Again, as a person who is seriously stuck in this mess with children on the verge of completing high school, I have very little options left. Most of the good colleges are NOT willing to consider "aliens" like us eligible for instate (local) tuition. Did anyone think of this? All of us will have to pay international fees! Who can pay $ 50000 per annum? Under the circumstances, please note that many of us will have to return to India or atleast move our families! I wrote a letter to my Senator about this and I got a response saying that he cannot do anything about it. Please think about all the consequences before wasting time on endless EB2 - EB3 fights!
I also want to repeat what I had said a few months back. No immigration system that is not time bound is fair or transparent. With all the sincerity at my command (I have nothing to gain in the process) I would request youngsters in their early and mid 30s to seriously consider options in other "First World" countries which have time bound immigration programmes for highly qualified immigrants. It is an endless wait here.Do you want to spend the next 10+ staring at the visa bulletin very month? . I do not want my junior countrymen to commit the mistake of sinking in this quagmire. With due respect to all the hard work of gurus like Teddy and others, I still feel that it would take about 12 - 15 years for anyone of us waiting beyond Jan 2007 (though I do not wish for it). What would be the state of the economy then? Any thoughts?

oh.... i see....thats how it works...
got it
thanks.
I just wonder how long it will be untill EB3 ROW is current. ???
When will EB3 ROW become current, or current for YOU? The answer would be different depending on your exact question.
Without administrative and legislative changes, the answer to number one is "a very long time" and I think I'd be safe to say that is a conservative estimate. For the record, I'm also EB3 ROW, with a PD of early 2004. I would say that would be current in 3 or 4 years
There are roughly 200 countries in the world. It is very simple maths to figure out that 200 * 9800 (the 7% limit per country) = about 1,960,000. Its pretty obvious that this is much more than the limit of 140,000 total per annum.. and you begin to see why there is a problem. Sure - each country has a 7% theroetical limit, but not EVERY country will use that in a year. Of ROW countries, UK is pretty close to its 7% per year. Others, like Lichenstein are not (or they would all be in the US and the country would not be just one big vacation home)
