When USCIS has so many I-485 applications, they will have to sort them in the order of PD. Your PD is older and you will have your GC first. However, its unpredictable when you will be able to file I-485.
They will be opening up dates slowly in the Visa bulletin going forward. However, they would open up 2003 PD before they reach PD 2007. You will be able to I-485 then and will have GC before someone whose PD is in 2007.

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.

Bring the border control, and add in tough enforcement on business that hire illegals - and then you still will have to address the people who are still here illegally. It may not be 12 million, but millions will still remain. That issue has to be addressed. The current president has said that they are to be a given a "path to legality" - pay the fine (yes, it may be trivial in our standards, but not theirs) and get in line. It is not blanket amnesty either.
Yes tough border control and employer monitoring should be there. Progress on the second is improving , a bit slowly.
Yes I am ok for a path to legality, but from my previous post, only if all of them are accounted for and have background check, get all their finger prints, retina scan, and at least 1/2 would get deported with criminal backgrounds.
We cannot have 4 million legalized and 3 million criminals hiding in the background. Also as CIR says only after the border is 100% secure, else you will have 10s of 1000s jumping the border everyday when this bill is passed.
Well the illegals kids also already got citizenship/amnesty in the millions.
What reform was needed first? immigration reform before health reform? lets fix the problems of the foreigners first, and then lets take care of the dying?
I actually meant reform to improve un-employment was needed first. What good is medical insurance if there's only $100 in the bank. Well anyway they seem to have exhausted all their resources, bailouts.
absolutely! wouldn't you? they play the game of leverage and we would do the same.
They have leverage only until they are deported! Yeah I agree, but its more a hallmark of underworld, that many are entwined with, rather than a civilized society.
The sad thing that separates our community from theirs is that they stand up for their own people irrespective of wealth. Take our community - of the hundreds who got the green card/citizenship - how many stay to help us? Why are the older generation of Indian immigrants fighting the new comers?
Agreed. Also there are 13.5 Asian Americans in the US, enough of a vote bank. All EB3s are at 2005. Mexico is at priority date 2001, which is worse than India, China. There are about 30 million Mexican immigrants, in the US, probably 15 million legally present. Most immigrant in EB3 from Europe and around the world are also affected.
There are probably about 30-40 million people or more Citizens/ GCs/immigrants , from retrogressed countries in the US..
I haven't seen citizens, GCs in large numbers supporting our cause. Would they rather see the country brimming with laborers?

Tell me them that even though you are not from the same constituent, the Congressmen will be voting on these bills once tabled in the Congress and you are requesting to support the bill
I called congressman Hinjosa's office.
The staffer asked me where I am calling from. Then said you are not a constituent of the congressman and was not willing to transfer to the person who handles immigration issues. I insisted on leaving a message and he took the message, but was surprised, did anybody else encounter this? How do we handle this if it happens with other congressmen?

The speed in which h1 FOR MS in USA shows that there is not that much demand to H1s. Only around 7500 was filled. The H1 Cap 65000 was reached for because Indian companies were rushing to make it before H1 cap is reached. One has to analyse how much is going to be used really. They will use need basis and won't cancel if not used. So increasing to 110k will be enough to meet the real demand but then also Cap will be reached in another 2 months because consulting companies process h1 first and find the job for them later. But Real demand can be analysed in other way. Because of Rushing thro H1s lot of companies which are having Real job demand(Companies like Intel Microsoft) could not hire. H1s for US MS degree holders solved the issue Partialy. May be if the increase that quota to 40k then demand will be enough.

I never saw anything like this it is far worse than the government municipality office. There is only one lady at the counter nearly 200 people waiting. She is doing things at her own pace. They were fighting over missing $10s, nepotism etc,is prevailing, they have an official line and an unofficial line. It looks like a shack than a consulate. Burger shack is better than India Consulate. After more than a month I am still waiting for my PP.
I went to the DC embassy to submit my passport on December 9th. The line was long and the lady was efficient. the only problem is if you don't have any of the docs, you are out...need to come back again..and the DC website is the worst of all...does not give all the documents required. I had all of mine and was done in an hours time. I was asked to come back on Jan 29th thats a month and a half later.
I come back and the place is like a movie ticket counter for the first day first show..no queue..not organized...people just walk in the front of the counter and gather even though they see a line..also the lady at the counter was RUDE...throws the passport right at you...there was favoritism to the department of state guys who came seeking visas!

Honestly I don't even see a point for these discussions, polls or predictions for EB3-I. The sooner we accept we are doomed the better. The only way out is to help ourselves but I don't think many EB3's are willing to do that.
I spoke to several in my office with earlier EB3 PD's (who might not even get GC's in the next 5-10 years !) and of course with EAD's and they have literally substituted EAD for a GC. They were once a part of IV (and some similar org's ?!) but now have completely lost hope and don't care. I tried to motivate them to join IV and support but they feel that IV does not cater to EB3's anymore. Sadly they are not even trying to port to EB2. They are just content with a job and EAD.
So, I am not really sure how many of us are actually willing to fight ?!
In fact it's even worse for people like me who are still waiting to file their I-485. Is it going to take us 5,10 or 20 years just to get an EAD ?!
I agree, EB3 is doomed and I agree its better to accept the fact but dont agree that IV has forgotten EB3 (I can understand your pain).
also as far as comprehensive Immigration reform is consodered...I would say whether anyone likes it or not. Its just for votes (fight is so as to who gets thec credit DEMs Or REPUBLICANS). I am againsit as it promotes giving amnesty to illegals.

Do you have any count of how many LC's have been approved with PD between March 28, 2005 to Dec 31, 2005 in the category of EB-3 ROW?
Below is the Count:
PD Approved Approved in Total
in FY 2006 FY 2007
(10/01/05 (10/01/06-
- 9/30/06) 9/30/07)
3/28/05-4/30/05 12 12
5/1/05 - 5/31/05 89 85
6/1/05 - 6/30/05 110 239
7/1/05 -7/31/05 175 334 509
8/1/05 - 8/30/05 421 402 823
9/1/05 - 9/30/05 694 79 773
10/1/05- 10/31/05 944 944
11/1/05 - 11/30/05 906 906
12/1/05 - 12/31/05 1022 1022
1/1/06 - 1/31/06 1007 1007
2/1/06 -- 2/28/06 952 952
3/1/06- 3/31/06 1140 1140
4/1/06- 4/30/06 896 896
5/1/06 - 5/31/06 980 980
6/1/06 - 6/30/06 916 916
7/1/06 - 7/31/06 775 775
Above is the total number of LC approved with priority date between March 28, 2005 to July 31, 2006 ( My PD is July 28, 2006) on monthly basis based on the data published by PERM process.
The first column showed the priority date. The second column showed the approved LC with the PD range but approved in FY 2006 and the third coulmn showed the number of LC with the same PD range but their Labor approved in FY 2007(as different application can approved in different times).
If we assume that all the applicants with PD before July 1, 2005 have been approved then remaining numbers are total of 11979 with PD before July 31, 2006 and after Jun 30, 2005. If we assume that all the applications with PD before March 1, 2006 will be approved within this FY i.e before 9/30/2008 then only 4707 numbers of applications with PD between March 1, 2006 to July 31, 2006 will be left.
Based on above data how could you assume that Cut-off Date will be back to 2004 and it will take 2/3 years to even cross the year 2005.
I guess it is not going to move any further.
There are more than enough applications waiting to be approved than the visa number available for ROW this year. It will move backwards to 2004 date in October when visa number for 2009 will be available.
Remember, PERM started in March of 2005, and there are floods of LCs with PD > March' 2005. It will take 2/3 years before it can move beyond 2005.
Below is the Count:
PD Approved Approved in Total
in FY 2006 FY 2007
(10/01/05 (10/01/06-

Pl. add this:
Adding / filing for Spouse's 485 should not be dependent on one's priority being current. This in turn forces the primay applicant to remain on H1b status to maintain spouse's H4.
(Above applies to those folks who got married after their primary 485 was filed but expected to remain pending due to retrogression.)
I would think that the above ties into the fact that dependents are currently being counted for visa numbers.

if i know this correctly, there are only 3000+ visa's (green cards)available for eb3 india and there are atleast 8000 people waiting in 2002. a person with a pd of mid 2002 also may need to wait atleast 2- 2 1/2 years before he/she gets their green card.
For you and me isnt it < 1year?

going by using unused visa from worldwide allocation within the category ie eb3 for 2011 year, 42.6k visas will help clearing off 9356 peinding cases till Jan 2003?
Am I missing anything?
Why eb2 were processed with 7K cases worldwide and only 700 for eb3 worldwide?
If 42600 / 4 = 10650 cases can be processed per quarter in eb3 , why only 700 were processed?
