Please find out the visa numbers allotment for EB1, EB2 and EB3 till now. Till now there is about 100k visa numbers allotment for EB3 every year due to the vertical fallout. From now on there would be around 100K allotment in EB2 due to the change to Horizontal Fall out of visa numbers. Out of these 100k EB2 visa numbers, India will get greatest share of around 50k + visas. Please see the below.

good post but The regular quota for EB2 and EB3 is only about 9,800(7% of 140k visas) each
I dont think it is 9,800 each. I think it is 9,800 combined - 7% of 140K. To that extent the 21500 number in my earlier post stands revised down to 17,700.

I would expect a minimal level of service from an expensive lawyer whether my company or my wife's company or I myself pay for it. We are their client. That is what they do not understand.
Can you believe they took 10 days to inform us what docs we need to provide for the 485 filing even after the fact that we had called them the day in June when the priority dates became current. Even in the list of documents, they had "Certified Birth Certificate" and when we asked how do we get Certified, they were like oh just give a photocopy. We had already spent 3 days researching about this CERTIFIED BIRTH CERT. The certified concept is something which is not common in India but it is in USA and a company like Fragomen should know this - it is their job.
Even after HR's multiple emails approving to start the filing 15 days later they ask us if HR has approved this - RIDICULOUS.
We asked them for the copies of the filed petition, they took 1 month to provide them as they were TOO busy filing other applicants - fine but making copies and sending over should not take more than 20 mins.
Now, I have been asking for a receipt for the money I paid out of my pocket so that I can get it reimbursed from my employer, they are giving me a hard time.
All I expect is when we are paying so much money - they should provide services to us.
All I know is if I was providing this level of service to my client, I would have been fired, but given that in this process you get stuck with a lawyer and cannot do much about it....they are using it to their advantage which they should not be...

Good morning,
If you pay a closer attention, I don't start threads. I just reply to messages following that topics you started. The real issue is that many members in this forum are so biased that you cannot take a different view.
For example, yesterday many in this noble forum became so uneasy and angry as soon as I mentioned that shift from democrats to republicans was triggered solely by the disatisfaction with the Iraq war. It turned out that Bil O'Reilly last night said the same thing. That is based on facts, because exit survey according to O'Reilly, did not indicate that people voted against Republicans due to other issues such as immigration. Then I went on and even showed articles from liberal newspapers such as The Nation to confirm my sources. CNN published e-mails from several voters on why they voted against republicans and immigration was not even mentioned in that sample. If you do not want to believe that and prefer to follow other views, that is fine. My point is, I won't get mad with you. I won't request that administrators shut you down. You have the option to do so. However, saying that my analysis is off base and I bring here unrelated topcis is not true. There are reputable people out there who agree with me. Grow up and learn how to deal with the reality.
What amazes me is that those are not fundamental issues for you to discuss and get so mad about. Who cares now on why people voted republicans out? For you and me it matters that we take you greencard and move on. I feel that it is my way to contribute when I admonish you about distorted views. Bringing that level of critical thinking may strength your maturity and knowledge and that can certainly increase your skills in the fight for immigration relief for the employment based immigrants.
Best regards,
The Ombudsman

Jaime, your thought of having one more rally in Silicon Valley is a good one but again you are going to have the same crowd..!!
People in neighbouring states of DC did not make it , you tthink they will make it all the way to west coast! very doubtful!!
We should aim at bringing in more people to this family as possible..
Looks like a simultaneous rally on a weekend will be very effective!
And this time for the rally we will carry one one slogan banners
'SHORTEN THE WAIT FOR LEGAL IMMIGRANTS' or something similar!
just a thought!
You are right rajsand..we can make more people to rally by oranizing the Rally duing the week ends and also that we need to make sure to have some Volunters to get in touch with the IV members through e-mail or by calling them which ever is convinet to make sure weather they are attending the rally or not..if yes collect their names and contact info.. in that way we can estimate that how many people will be attending the rally and we can plan accordingly to infrom some news channels to cover the rally in that way we can able to get more media publicity...it's just my thought..what do you guys say?

Piyushpan, I see this provision as:
1. If you have an advanced degree from the US after the bill is passed
2. If you are smart enough for EB1 self-sponsorship OR can find an employer to sponsor you as Eb1 or Eb2
3. Either way, you need to go through I140.
4. Then you can file for Adjustment of Status, either concurrently, or after the 140.
I am not sure if you will still be subject to the numerical quota, or if you have to go through labor cert..
I think the intent of the provision is that this category of people not be subject to labor certification, but there is no language in the bill that says that.
Hi,
Based on the summary if you re-look at the student visa section of Bill Frist's bill
`(2) STUDENT VISAS- Notwithstanding the requirement under paragraph (1)(C), an alien may file an application for adjustment of status under this section if--
`(A) the alien has been issued a visa or otherwise provided nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv), or would have qualified for such nonimmigrant status if section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv) had been enacted before such alien's graduation;
`(B) the alien has earned an advanced degree in the sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics;
`(C) the alien is the beneficiary of a petition filed under subparagraph (E) or (F) of section 204(a)(1); and
`(D) a fee of $1,000 is remitted to the Secretary on behalf of the alien.
`(3) LIMITATION- An application for adjustment of status filed under this section may not be approved until an immigrant visa number becomes available.'.
What this really means is a masters student can adjust to immigrant visa status although his visa application will get approved only when the visa is available. If i have understood this correctly this means that this is similar to the S-1932 provision wherein you can adjust your status although approval will happen only when immigrant visa is available.(provided one is masters)
Or have i got this wrong?
Comments? If i am interpreting this correctly it is another big boost for people who have either not worked 3 yrs as yet on H1B or have a masters degree unrelated to the profession they are working in.

Thats a good point Harsh. If they are reluctant to increase the H1 cap they can simply look for the talent in their own house (USA). After all we all are paying taxes and can contribute to the economy. and also we should seriously think about lobbying for issuance of EAD to H-4's once I-140 is approved.

USCIS accepts AP renewal applications 120 days in advance of expiring AP. The normal processing time for AP is approx 1-2 months (usually it is about a month). Keep in mind that the new AP which is issued will have an immediate effective date from the date of issue and the start date will not be from the expiry date of old AP. So in most cases you will end up losing some days or even months. If you do not forsee any immediate need to travel you should wait till 30-40 days prior to old AP expiry and then apply. If your travel plans are unknown and you may have to travel if an urgent situation arises, then you should apply 120-90 days in advance to make sure you have AP validity at all times. You will obviously lose some days or months... but then who says everything that USCIS does is fair :)
Dear Friend,
thanks a lot for your clear and precise reply--in both your emails. I also assume (and if you could please clarify that), that an individual also has to pat another $305 dollars during renewal application for the AP. Thanks again.

Jchan, I completely agree with you. We should look into how we can get attention of this to the concerned people and not side tracked.
Hi kate123, either it is a legislative fix or not, it's not up to us to decide. I saw the danger of our time and effort being sidetracked by trying to argue whether it's a legislative or administrative fix. The new secretary has made it clear that she is willing to push for BOTH Administrative AND Legislative fix if it's deemed necessary. Our goal should be bringing enough attention to her on the pre-application issue and convince her it's a meaningful change that will help both the DHS and the applicants, so she will push for changes. Please let me know if you agree.

There are uglier things than sausages being made. For example, when Bernie Sanders gave a 30 minute speech to increase H1B fees and make H1B program useless, he brought a big chart and the whole enchilada to try to prove that H1B depresses wages.
However, in the starting part of his speech, he said he supports the bill.
The bill brings in 200,000 guest-workers each year (it was 400,000 before Bingaman amendment). However, according to him, that is just fine. When guest-workers come to US in numbers like 200,000 then they dont depress wages of the lowest income group in America. However, when hi-tech workers come here they depress wages.
This is the kind of logic from people like Bernie Sanders and Co. that is uglier than watching sausages being made. Watching sausages being made might hurt your eyes, but this kind of logic hurts your head and can damage your brain's neurons.
