Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
My case was stuck in BEC for a couple of years and was cleared some time back. (Disclaimer).
But I totally sympathise with you. A few of my friends are still stuck in BEC and I feel very bad that I am moving forward even though my PD is newer than theirs.
I believe this issue can be very easily resolved with some kind of grassroot level push from all of us, lawyers and law makers. If USCIS can process 50,000+ applications in a matter of days, what is preventing another govt. agency from processing a similar number of applicants in a couple of weeks? Only thing is that they all need to be made aware of this injustice. I believe this is the next agenda that IV should take up.
I am going to send a PM to IV core regarding this issue. Any one else with me on this?
Cheers,

I respect bitzbytz's view. IMHO, Pappu's post shows too much arrogance in IV.
Btw, I have donated $100 towards advocacy.
Yeah Right. Now you are going to tell me, my higher education is due to IV, me coming to US is due to IV, me getting bachelors, masters, phd is due to IV, me getting H1 B visa approval and stamping, My getting EB 2 filed approved is caz of IV. , labor approval, 2 yr eads, medical appointments are all due to IV. Get real.
When I was in trouble, I threw some money at Ms Sheela (not Sheela from sheela ki jawani) and voila , I had solution for my problems. IF we are legal here, we need to be afraid of anything, else glad to go back home.
Dude, understand that I am a friend not an enemy to IV advocacy. I just said, for me to contribute, I should feel that IV made an impact or will make an impact for my cause. Which I dont feel right now.
Make me believe and I am in. Until then keep trying.
If you still want to bark , well you can pick some tree as I just ignored this debate.

Are you racist and believe that people of south asian descent are not skilled enough and hence do not deserve to even be on this forum, let alone engage dreams of an American citizenship?
you probably think you are the best and most skilled since you are from Dominican republic, and perhaps will not have to wait for a GC or even citizenship all that long. Look around, open your eyes, there are people from India/China who have been on this rollercoaster since 2001, and deserve a citizenship.
Stop this hatred of Asians or is it Indians??

The biggest weakness of DOL/USCIS is going back to the older cases while newer cases are piling up. They do not have any service level agreements to adhere to. That is why many labors in the older process ended up in BECs.
Please raise this problem with your local senators and representatives and put pressure on DOL. The longer it takes at DOL, the longer it takes for your GC. Do not be under false hopes that your I-485 will be picked up based on the PD. For USCIS, RD is the convenience and they wil only go by that even if the law is written otherwise. So get your application out faster.

Dear All,
First of all I am pleased to inform you that I will certainly attend the advocacy campaign. This will be my first participation. I am eager and hope to make it. I have also started making travel / stay arrangements.
Here is what I wanted to request / share with you:
1. The advocacy related information is is "red" font. I think red font is normally used for the "donor forum".
2. As such I was looking desperately for information aout advocacy, without trying to "click" on the available thread links, just because it is provided in red font! I then spoke to a friend of mine who told me that though this is in red font, I would be able to enter! I am sure, there could be many like me. Can you please make it obvious that "advocacy links" are not donor exclusive? This will spread the news and create better awareness. I am also planning to write mails to all my friends who are in the endless GC line
3. I think we are expected to show up in Saturday, April 2, 2011. What time should we be present and where? This is required for flight / hotel reservation. Do we have a common meeting point? What is the exact address? Any telephone / email / contact no(s). ?
4. Is there any dress code please?
5. Are the participants who turn up expected to fund some amount? If so kindly let me
know ( as I wish to write to my friends about this)
6. When will be able to leave on April 5, 2011? This is also required for the purposes of
hotel reservation and ticket booking
7. Are we all going to talk in one voice about Visa recapture? Or do we have other issues
in the agenda?
8. I work for a highly reputed international orgnaization. I have already taken the issue of the EB wait for GC with senior management and also with HR. The truth is, being born Americans, they were taken by surprise! On senior lady remarked , "Wow! Are you kidding me? 10 years minimum of a Green Card? Why don't you guys open your mouth!"
May be all this information I have asked is already available. If so, kindly give me the link. I will go through everything.
PLEASE GIVE MAXIMUM PUBLICITY TO THIS EVENT HIGHLIGHTING THAT THIS RELATES TO LEGAL IMMIGRANTS, LEGAL IMMIGRANTS, LEGAL IMMIGRANTS !!!
Sorry for the inconvenience, if any! Thanks to one and all!
Best wishes for the success of the meet! GOD Bless!

Yes Lasantha. I am at NSC.
It seems from that USCIS is approving 2003 and 2004 and in April touched couple 2005 PDs with no particular order and without paying attention to RD. high priority is oldest PDs (2003 & 2004) that were stuck in Name Check and now in April since 2005 PD is current, it seems that they touched few of them too.
good luck to both TSC and NSC

Conservatives block immigration conference (June 8, 2006)-
By Jonathan Allen
Senate conservatives have emerged as the chief obstacle to an immigration conference committee, but the bill�s backers insist they will be able to get around the hard-liners.
GOP leaders need the assent of the conservatives to circumvent a parliamentary hurdle arising from the bill�s inclusion of tax provisions, which, according to the Constitution, must originate in the House. Conservatives have yet to sign off.
�I�m not anxious to move it to conference,� Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), chairman of the conservative Republican Steering Committee, said yesterday. �The more we study the final product, the more convinced I am that it is seriously flawed.�
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) said that he would think about being helpful to the leadership but that he�d �consider trying to block it, too.�
The Senate passed its version of immigration legislation last month. The bill would bolster border security, create a �path to citizenship� for illegal aliens currently in the country and establish a guest-worker program.
Many on the right would prefer a version more like the House bill, which focuses solely on strengthening border security.
A thicket of procedural snags has prevented the appointment of conference negotiators to this point.
If the Senate bill is sent to the House, it would be subject to a �blue slip� � a vote of the House to reject it because it violates the Constitution�s �origination� clause on tax matters. The easiest way around a blue slip is for the Senate to take up a House-passed tax bill, strip out the existing provisions, insert the immigration bill into its shell and pass it.
But Republican leaders have been unable to win unanimous consent to execute the maneuver, and such a complex series of moves would give opponents several filibuster opportunities. While cautiously covering their flanks, Republican and Democratic leaders are working to get the bill to conference.
The bill�s supporters say that if they can make significant progress on a deal they will be able to overcome their opposition.
�I think we�re making progress,� Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) said yesterday. �We�re not there yet.�
Sen. John Ensign (R-Nev.), a harsh critic of the Senate bill, said yesterday that he will not block efforts to move to conference.
�I want a bill,� Ensign said.
�You�ve got to have a conference,� said Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.). �If it comes out close to this [Senate bill], we�ll do everything to kill it.�
