I got 2 positive responses from orkut members in DC.
One said Oh ok, I will.. so this person didn't even know about it until after seeing the scrap.
Yes I posted scraps on individual members' scrapbooks, not just community posts.
I suggest if you are on orkut, scrap any and every one in DC communities, if a lot of people ask them to come, they will know how important it is!!
Great idea! Why don't you start a thread on using ORKUT? It would be helpful!

It's slow poison.. Great deception. You can't get it and You can't let it go. After waiting so long (7+ years in GC road) I got nirvana. One early morning I think over back and relies what the hell I did with my life and career for this stupid card. So I put my energy in study. Hoping to complete MBA by summer and move forward. Waited so long so i don't have any more patience or emotion left. I have to move on with life.. :p
Have a cup of coffe, it is sprint break time, I am taking my daughter out....also I am going to meet some friends over this weekend.
This EB-2, EB-3, ROW, India, China..... only hurts me when I think about it! As long as I am busy with my day to day life.....life is beautiful.
Going to make a cup of coffee and watch my fav song on YouTube! Cheers...

Yes but that is when the provisions of the bill come in to effect.
There is another clause which says "Any pending visa applications filed before the INTRODUCTION of this bill will be counted under the old system". In other words all the I-140s filed after May 15th ( Or June 19th) will have to be re-filed under the merit system if they are not approved and GC received when the Bill is in effect. That Effective date is the one you are refering to. Introduction date is when the bill was added to the senate calander.
Yes. On page 291 bottom, that phrase is there (line number 40, section b). It talks about keeping those petitions intact. I believe the effective date is still October 1st 2007.
There is a reference about labor certification applicants keeping their priority dates. The expectation could be that BECs will clear all petitions by September 30th 2007 and there would be a rush filing for I-140s before October 1st 2007.

Everybody knows exercising is good. However, it is not easy to see the results of exercising. To see the results, you may have to stop exercising and then only you will realise oh, this is what exercising helps me not become.
If you want to sit and say, let the exercise show me the results and then I will do, well it's up to you. If you are happy the way you are , fine. But, don't knock the exercise.
Personally, I am not desperate about GC, so I never contributed except for 2 instances. One was a 100$ thank you gift for the SSN that came with EAD that got me additional 600$ tax refund. I felt IV has atleast has something to do with the visa bulletin reversal. Some may say, it could have happened even without IV, and may be correct.
The other time is 25$ for FOIA, where I was curious to get a clear picture of how many people are in the line before me.
Now, eventhough I don't believe in all other activities IV is doing , I don't go around knocking them down. I am sure they are trying to do the best they can and the best that they can think of. They always have an open invitation for people to join them and get involved. No, we don't want to get involved, get our hands dirty,but we want periodic updates and continuous progress.
Well, goodluck with that.
For those asking for money, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE UPDATE ON ANY PROGRESS SPECIFICALLY ACHIEVED BY IV IN THE LAST YEAR AND HALF !!!
How can you justify this? Actually, you dont have to....There are many like me who will answer questions of panicked people about how to navigate the complex immigration system but until IV can provide some concrete proof of what specifically it is doing, how exactly it is spending the money and what roadmap of progress it hopes to achieve and whether it is on its way to achieving it....the money wells will continue to be dry.

When there is a necessity and I am forced to learn. Other native speakers neither going to care why I learned the language nor force me to speak that particular language as already I am speaking. So where the attitude comes in the picture.
Again I don�t have anything against Hindi or any other particular language. But I don�t like taken for granted.
Well I kinda see what you're saying when you say 'you have issues learning languages' after seeing this post. However, the problem is more general I'd presume (English included)?

"How long has your case been pending? My case is pending for only one month, not sure if my lawyer and employer will send email for me."
Which case is pending? LC? PERM? ONE MONTHS? Is this a BEC victim?
Frist, sorry for the confusion. I do have a 05/2007 PD at Atlanta PERM center. I came to the country in 1999 for grad school, started working with OPT in 2001, converted to H1 in 2002, laid off in 2002, started working again in 2002 with a new employer, filed labor in 2004 and got stuck in BEC ever since. The employer refused to file PERM, so I had change to a new company in 2006, and had PERM filed in 2007 and got stuck there again. Your are right, I am technically not in BEC, but psychologically I always feel I am in there.
I did not know what was 'disruptive' and 'inappropriate' about what I said. This is a board for BEC victims, so BEC victims are not allowed to express our frustration? I just expressed my depress and my concerns over how much this will retrogress the PD without targeting anyone. When tons of people run in front of our queue and shut us out in cold, we are supposed to 'enjoy the moment' with them? If so, when USCIS said no one can file 485 on July 2nd, why none of the people enjoy the happiness with those who already filed, because that will make their processing time much faster. People said we should feel happy for those who can file, because they now can get EAD/AP for their spouses, as if our spouse do not need EAD/AP. And as a result of this total mess, I don't think we'll have hope in another several years to see the date current.
IV core keeps telling us, BEC is always on their agenda. Really? If they did not even understand our pain and consider our frustration a disruption to people's happiness, how can we expect them to help? I still think IV is a great org, as it's the first such organization to speak out for legal immigrants. But when it comes to BEC victims, I did not see IV changed anything, or intend to change anything.

oh ya, so you have a problem with donor status? Why don't you start with your cable company and ask them why do they charge you any money? Why don't you ask the gas station, that why do they charge you for the gas? Why don't you argue with the cashier at Walmart about the bill you have to pay if you want something? Its easy to be dismissive of others. Its even easier to fault others and argue that just because no one shared the information, so I have license to throw stones at others. But being an Eb2 highly skilled humanity savior personality that you are, why do you need a 3rd class Eb3 programmer to show you that it cost money to get things done. Why can't you see that in last 8 months this nation was going under a presidential election and nothing got done on any issue, other than bailouts and budget? Why can't you see that nothing has happened in the Congress on immigration for any other group? Why can't an highly skilled highly educated chanakya of this planet not see that it is ok for everyone to praise some immigration lawyers who are known to deliberately delay green card application, but its not ok to ridicule someone sincerely working to fix my issue? Why is it ok for me to track my application all day and not complain even once when some tracker website is asking for money to have my question from a lawyer, but will not leave any stone unturned to put the "burden of proof" of innocence on someone sincerely working to stand-up for me because I am too coward to stand-up for myself?
Let me help you understand it because it will be too much for your eb2 species brain to understand. Simple answer - You cannot see past the things that you cannot understand. Just go and ask Walmart cashier as to why he/she is charging you money for the things you want? Maybe that will help.
.
reading above posts it reminds me what I read :
Lot of junk sold in US...
People have gotten used to buying things that have no value. Wherever donation boxes are putup or beggers stand , people put money. Come on one does not need to pay because a other guy is asking.
So its upto the individuals to donate. Personally I dont feel one can do much to accelerate the GC process. If you read the history you can comeup with a list of things that changed the way things got done in US!!
Have a good one guys.

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)
Most countries do not have 9,800 EB applicants every year - in fact, most countries use well under 1,000.
The total number of applicants from other countries can be derived from roughly estimating number if H1 holders, adjusting for Indians and Chinese, and then dividing by 2 (50% of H1Bs never end up getting a green card), and then multiplying by 2 to adjust for derivatives. The bottom line - there are visas available in EB2 ROW and EB1 categories (which are current, meaning, undersubscribed), that are getting redistributed to EB3 ROW. This is why EB3 in total is using more than its share of 140,000 EBs. In fact, I believe the dates will be moving pretty fast on EB3 ROW, it will probably get all current in a couple of years.

Keep your vigil. Research and google it. Use these terms. "nurse" and "retrogression" and "unused" and "visa"
Yes nk2006, you are right. Anyone interested, go to the other side and see. A simple departmental notification is accomodating the nurses.
Good News: Non-immigrant visa, H-1C, is back and now available for Filipino nurses (http://www.filipinonurses2us.com/)
In our December articles, Non-immigrant work visa for Filipino Nurses and The US needs a special visa for Filipino Nurses, we discussed the H-1C visa classification, which was created in 1999 to relieve the nursing shortage in the US but which had expired in 2005. However, due to the increased shortage in nursing and the retrogression of immigrant visas, which the regular temporary work visa or H-1B can not accommodate, the United States has finally made a move to address the problem in the nursing shortage.
Today, February 12th, the Department of Labor announces the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Reauthorization Act 2005. The reauthorization took effect on December 20, 2006. This Act reauthorized the H-1C non-immigrant nurses program, a program originally created by the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999. The program allows employers to file attestations with the Department of Labor, Office of the Labor Certification (OFLC).
Hi,
Many posts on this thread suggest that there is no H1B type visa for nurses and so they have to come on only greencard; and that is why Health lobby is trying hard to GRAB 90K unused visas

I got an email from my law firm, that my packet was refused to be accepted by USCIS.
I received the email from my law firm (Monday night - July 2) that:
Please note however your case was sent to Nebraska last night and did arrive - we tried!
Which means mine was sent or reached NSC sunday night or must have been hand delievered early Mon morning. Don't know exactly what happened. I just trust them!!!!
I didn't bother to ask my law firm further details. I will ping them first thing monday morning and try to give any update I get. I hope they have some proof of the refusal!!!!!!!............

Coming back to the discussion about EB3->EB2:
1. For all those who have already initiated the process and are aware of the delays in PERM (about 8 mos) and 140 nowadays (about 10 mos), the cost involved (close to $9k) and without a guarantee of a successful interfiling (a lot of people on this forum earlier had narrated instances of failures), what was your motivation to continue??
2. Has anyone started this process with their EB3 140 still pending?

Subject: Injustice :mad: for people with priority dates in '02, '03, '04 etc. who are still waiting for their labor certs to be processed using the traditional process - we want to file a case against DOL's lethargy - Let us join together and file a case against DOL and bring justice to this unjustified system.
The manner in which the backlog reduction center have been processing the
labor certs seems to be very unfair for people like me and others who have been affected. I know of cases with priority dates as late as 2005 that have gone through the traditional process and have been approved already. And there are cases like mine and others with much earlier priority dates that haven't been done. This is very unfair and unjustified. It is like we have been standing in the queue for several hours and a person who came much later than me just sneaked into the queue and got his service done while I am still waiting for my turn. Also the fact that now the UCIS has made the filing of I-485 current adds more insult to the injury that I and others in my position have endured.
The fact that the I-485 was made current and then withdrawn was made a big deal and people wanted to file cases, whereas the plight of people like me who are still waiting for the labor cert to be cleared has been totally
ignored, inspite of the fact that people who applied for labor much later
have been approved through the traditional process.
We want to file a case ASAP with the DOL or other relevant
authority regarding this issue and the unfair way of the process that we
have been subjected to. So can all those folks who have been affected by this join and voice your support? We shoud put up this fight because this is in no way justified. Why would it be?
The next steps should be:
- Get all of the support we need from all affected folks ASAP
- Get in touch with a lawyer who can help us to prepare the case
- File the case in a court against DOL
- Make sure we get justice
Please join and show your support. Please help!!!
While the reasons seem valid, please think over this action clearly. For one any case such as this one can take a long time to go to trial and there is no guarantee of a favourable verdict. Also filing of such cases end up being very expensive for the plaintiff.

have been subjected to. So can all those folks who have been affected by this join and voice your support? We shoud put up this fight because this is in no way justified. Why would it be?
The next steps should be:
- Get all of the support we need from all affected folks ASAP
- Get in touch with a lawyer who can help us to prepare the case
- File the case in a court against DOL
- Make sure we get justice
Please join and show your support. Please help!!!
While the reasons seem valid, please think over this action clearly. For one any case such as this one can take a long time to go to trial and there is no guarantee of a favourable verdict. Also filing of such cases end up being very expensive for the plaintiff.

My experience has been similar,although I took the e-filing route for my wife.
Incidentally, e-filing is very convenient and takes less than ten minutes.....if you keep all the info ready. Apart from charging the right amount, the receipt also mentions where the application needs to be sent. There was some confusion when I was reading the paper-based form instructions, until I saw the receipt printout.
After e-filing, took a print out of the receipt and added
Copy of I485 receipt (I797)
Copy of earlier AP
Copy of marriage cert (I cant recollect why I began using it. This is the 3rd AP...renewed twice after the July 2007 filing)
Copies of the passport pages
Copy of I94
Two photographs
We mailed it on 16 Dec, and today it has been approved and mailed back.
It was quite exciting to see the 'post-decision' bubble being filled up.
