Reading from this thread and few other, it is confirmed that in most cases, even if PD is current for a 485 filer, USCIS may not adjudicate those cases unless the processing time is reached. (There are few lucky applicants with PD 2005 and filed 485 after July 2nd and have already received their GC - but that is very few).
And most centers, they are processing Dec 2006 485 applications - a backlog of 10 months.
So, assuming that it may take same 10 months to process 485 filed in July - that is May 2008!!
With this, what are the chances of DOS making PD current for all EB categories again next June? They will do this to use all the VISA numbers for FY2008.
Or, if they don't want to repeat the confusions that happened in July 2007, to what dates will the PDs move (in June/July 2008)? Atleast to 2006?

You can request them for a separate fastrack queue for legal high skilled, currently employed, workers who can buy a house with a substantial down payment. This has been making rounds in various news papers except for IV. In this economic climate, it's worthwhile atleast to make a such a proposal.

02/01/2007 21/30 p.m.: Senate Passed Immigration Reform Bill Today
The Senate passed today Fair Minimum Wage Act, H.R. 2 today. The House passed this bill, H.R. 2 and the Senate debated the bill for the past several days. In the process, hundreds of amendments had been introduced on the Senate floor. The Senate floor then agreed to a lot of these amendments. One of these amendments which the Senate had agreed to and passed as Division B of the H.R. 2 is the Immigration Reform bill.
The immigration reform bill was introduced by Senator John Kerry and agreed to by the floor unanimously. The immigration reform bill that the Senate passed today covers a lot of the provisions which were part of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 which the Senate passed last year and failed in the House.
We will analyze the bill and report it step by step for the next several days. Please stay tuned to this website.

Hi All,
After a long wait i have my priority date became current. But my employer is saying to wait for some more time before he can file for I485.What can i do in this scenario? He is saying the dates are going to remian the same for next couple of months.Please suggest.
Thanks!
Name the company. It is very important. You have worked patiently for so many years for your GC and now this! It is criminal behavior on your company's part to delay the process any longer. Such unscrupulous people must be exposed immediately.

I had called them last week and was told the ususal spiel about my processing time not being current. But the lady also slipped with some piece of info that I did not have before: The processing dates are updated every 2 weeks....we do not see that online. While I am not sure that is true, I still figured hey let's call again and see. So yesterday the guy on the phone told me that I am outside their processing times and that he will put in a service request to make sure they will take care of my application....and my RD is July 2nd.....so their might be some truth about them internally updating processing times.....maybe

I had similar situation recently. I tried calling CGI houston several times with the nos. listed on the website and no human would answer. If you are homesick, these nos are perfect to give a call. It would just play you a long Indian Classical music over and over again. My ears were still ringing with the music after the call, you can imagine how many times I had called!
Once I was lucky to get through, but not for much help. If anyone picks ups by chance, they would be rushing you like anything and refer you to consult the website.
It is amazing!
I mailed my passport about 3 weeks back to SFO. Have not yet got it. Anybody done it recently?

Well I am one of those guys who visits immigrationvoice almost on a daily basis and benefit a lot, but never bothered to even think about making a contribution.
The reason behind this is not so much a matter of not wanting to contribute, but just a preconceived notion of "What difference can my contribution make".
Your post is certainly an eye opener.
We complain so much about the lack of a quick turnaround for our issues, yet expect someone else to work to resolve the problem, while shamelessly hoping to benefit from the resolution with zero participation in the efforts.
Sorry IV, for my past indifference. I have started my monthly $20 contribution and hope to increase it in the near future.
Thankyou lutherpraveen not just for contributing, but being bold and sharing your thoughts. You made a difference already.

Retrogression in Various Steps of the GC process
While January 2005 was the first time since July 2001 there was retrogression for the EB-3 category (01/01/02 for both China and India), the US continues to maintain protectionism through their immigration system.
Retrogression in Labor Certification: Between 2002 and 2005, there was severe retrogression as far as labor certifications were concerned. Then came the PERM in March 2005 and for a couple of years, they boasted labor certification with 3 to 6 months time. Of late I think it is taking more than 6 months for LC approvals even through PERM.
Retrogression in I-140 Approvals: I do not remember when the USCIS suspended the premium processing for I-140 but even before they did that, they managed protectionism by delaying the approval of I-140. As per some one's posting, it is now taking 14 months for an I-140 approval.
Retrogression of I-485 Approvals: Post July 2007 VB, even a 1st year engineering student from India, studying the American immigration system, can tell you it could take years (not the current 6-9 months processing time) for approval of I-485s. The delay in approving an I-485 petition is not subject to the the July 2007 Visa Bulletin alone, it cannot also escape 'protectionism-tainted' FBI name check delay.
I may sound like quite a pessimist, but add to all this the possible denials for PLC (permanent labor certification), I-140, EAD, AP & I-485s.
My $0.02 - IE
Very Good Presentation.

I truly believe, though IV's efforts can impact a little bit, they have to join other organizations to strengthen the efforts and results.
As I said before, IV should step up for EB3-I/C/ROW cause since policies seem to be working in favor of other EBs (which is good) but EB3 is stuck..
Here are some paths to consider.
1. IV has established relationships with some key politicians through the advocacy days, may be that channel can work
or
2. Allow interfiling with spouse
or
3. Allow folks to file I-485 for an approved I-140 even if the dates are not current
or
4. Have an endless EAD and AP (by endless I mean 5 years)
or
5. Recapture (Tie it to a bill...eg Zoe Lofgren or Feigngold will not sign Finance reform bill unless lost EB visas are recaptured). It will help EB2 folks as well. Give Feingold a call, he is voting no on Finance reform. May be he can kick in something for legal EB folks (similar to cornhusker) and may vote Yes and be the 60th vote.
What I suggest you guys to do is build upon these ideas above rather than destroy it or be sarcastic about it.

You really cannot do anything in a short time except hoping for the best. Two things have to happen for getting a GC (i) Your file should be or should already have been reviewed, and if all good to go, preadjudicated. That depends on your receive date by the Center processing your case (not RD on your receipt). This date is close to ND, and is often seen online as " your case was received on...". If this date is prior to published dates, your file definitely has been reviewed. Farther it is from the published date, lesser the chance, but approvals are indicating that if it is Aug, Sep, Oct 07 there is very good chance, though September has higher chance than October (ii) Your PD should be high enough. As per USCIS SOP preadjudicated files are piled in sequence of PD's.
Note that both conditions should be met before leftover visas exhuast. Third condition, which always plays significant role is, luck. This means, you hope that IO working on your case did not fall sick when he/she was about to look at your case, some document did not slip out of your file, person working on your case head proper eye glasses so as not to misread your PD as 2007, stack of preadjudicated cases did not fall down losing file sorting sequence, etc. etc.
Best wishes to you and all others.
Yes you are absolutely true..... We must have the luck factor also...
As in my case, my PD, RD, ND and BD (BD aka Birth Day also :) ) all are well with in the current processing time frame and still waiting for the mercy of Lord USCIS.
I am praying for those unlucky folks like me, who are still waiting in the queue, to get approvals before the available visas get exhaust.

Me and my wife are both on H1 approvals (F1-OPT-H1) and planning to go to New Delhi for our very 1st H1b stamping and I was wondering if I can do the same and Book just 1 appointment for me and my wife and appear before the VO together at the same time?
Thanks in advance.

I will add my $100 & send the checks. One more co-worker will put in $50 through the credit card.
Let us all try like this from our co workers. I think guys do not mind paying but are too lazy to write the check. So we need to chase them...
One more technique, I have used.... give your friend $10 or $20 in cash & ask him to go online and contribute an amount by adding some money to your cash contribution...

The situation is the same. In my case and of course in most of others too, what he/she said is correct. Waiting for Eb3 to cross 2001 has become a difficult thing. If I started an EB2 app rather than hoping positively, I would have finished my wait for GC.
Ever since retrogression started the dates have not crossed 2001. 245i or not, the backlog is a fact. Sad part, when there is action items from IV, trying to talk to my state members, I have realized and been told that IV does not cater to EB3 anymore. It is disheartening how much ever I try to explain, occasional members look at IV threads like EB2-EB3 predictions and say there is no hope for EB3 and also IV has no answer to it.
I tried my part...too bad I was not able to participate in the IV advocacy day due to family emergency. anyway, let us hope IV's persistence yields us the results. My heart goes for a lot of EB3s who may automatically qualify for EB2 just due to their experience.
Best of luck to all.
You are hearing utter nonsense from your friends. They have no inclination to find out the truth or wish to take part in the action item. Such armchair strategy folks are the reason we are all suffering in EB3 I. If these folks joined this effort and worked hard to fix it, we would have made lot more progress. Despite being highly educated, some people fall prey to divisive posts and opinions on the forums without checking the facts.
People who had come to the DC advocacy day this month know what we do and that our focus is solving EB retrogression completely. We do not talk about EB2 , EB3 categories. We talk about the overall retrogression in EB visas.
The biggest damage and threat to this effort is not from anti-immigrants or other interest groups but from people of our own community who spread lies, pursue personal agenda and grudges, talk against this effort and cause damage to this community effort. They forget that this damages their own cause. Have you seen divisive posts, or anti-organization posts on the forums of anti-immigrants? Just think about it.
After leading this effort for more than 4 years I have come to a realization that we as a community are the reason of our own failure and the reason for our own successes. There is nobody else to be blamed. If we have to blame someone for this broken system, it is ourselves for not being able to get together and fix it.
