    I strongly doubt your argument. For the past six months , Demand data before Jan1st,2006 stayed zero for EB2 I/C. If USCIS thinks one of those pre 2006 cases are approvable then we would see this reflect in DOS demand data.

    At the end of the day, whatever data that is listed in Demand data is all that matters. Since it is the only determining factor for setting VB dates and nothing else


    "EB2 I demand from the inventory btwn May - Dec 06 = 12K
    But Demand data says EB2-I demand is 13,200

    Diff : 13,200 - 12K = 1200 ( This number has to be porting)"

    Krish,
    Same applies to your porting calculations! DOS will go by the inventory data provided by USCIS and have no clue on who is getting approved, regular or ported.

    If you would like we can interpret it differently....
    The demand data published by DOS for October 2010 show 13,125 prior to 2007 and for April 2011 it is 13,200 which means increase of 75 only + approved cases( since PD did not move)

    Assuming all cases approved from Oct-2010 till March 2011 are porting, means 233*6=1,398.

    In this case total porting is only 1,398+75 = 1,473

    In reality we don't really know how many of the approved cases(1,398) are ported.

    Just for year 2005 October 2010 inventory show 756 cases pending and January 2011 inventory show only 573! which means 183 cases are either approved or denied in addition to ported cases for the same period.

    If you look at EB3 Inventory for FY 2005 went up from 8,262 to 8,529 during the same period:confused:

    You are right about members working on understanding the law in this forum and thrashing out arguments to make them fool proof. Instead I find people getting incensed at each other and creating a destructive environment instead of a constructive one.

    As far as immigration lawyers go - they have no incentive to file a lawsuit to get a correct interpretation as they donot stand to gain whatever way the law is interpreted. Also while there definitely are a few smart immigration lawyers- the run of the mill ones are no better than paralegals. I'm not sure I should be saying the above but my experience points to that.

    Yes. No one has bothered to go after DOS for misinterpretting the AC21 rule in allocating immigrant visa. Many people (EB2-India) raised their concern between 2003 and 2006, as DOS is not correctly following the rule and allowed the spillover to go EB3, when EB2 was in high demand particulrly from India. Even IV core did not go after DOS. As you mentioned, lawyers has no incentives. EB3 has enjoed between 2000 to 2006 (from the mercy of DOS). For example in 2006, EB2 got about 25,000 visas abot 20,000 visas (from EB2)has gone to EB3-ROW.

    Guys this is a revision to the July Visa Bulletin. Meaning, even if the revision happens on July 29th to the July Visa Bulletin, it holds good for entire july.
    This is not August bulletin.

    Looks like people have misconception, that if their file goes to USCIS on July 2nd and visa bulletin is revised on July 3rd or later date, then they are safe. It is not so.
    If at all if there is a change to the August bulletin it holds good for August and not to July bulletin.

    Pls let me know if my understanding is wrong

    I think revision can't be retroactive. How can u say on July 15 that on July 3rd your number was not current when infact it was current at that time....

    murthy news flash

    NewsFlash! DOS Expected to Revise July Visa Bulletin
    Posted Jun 29, 2007
    �MurthyDotCom
    We have received news from the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) that they have reliable information that the July Visa Bulletin will be revised on Monday, July 2nd, or Tuesday, July 3rd. This Visa Bulletin is expected to retrogress many of the categories that were announced as being "Current" for July. It is expected that at least some of the categories will become completely "unavailable." The reason for this is that the USCIS apparently engaged in extraordinary efforts to approve cases in June, once there was some forward movement of the Visa Bulletin. They did this to try to avoid the tide of cases expected in July. Each green card approval uses one visa number. If the numbers are all used for the year, then the DOS will issue a revised Visa Bulletin reflecting "unavailable" in the particular category or categories.
    �MurthyDotCom
    DOS Input
    �MurthyDotCom
    While there is no 100 percent assurance about this matter, we at the Murthy Law Firm were given a 95-98 percent confirmation of the expectation regarding the Visa Bulletin by a very reliable source. The most vulnerable categories, of course, are those that are typically the victims of retrogression: EB2 and EB3 for India, China, and (potentially) Mexico. If this unprecedented action should occur, it will mean is that the USCIS will reject I-485 cases based upon the anticipated Visa Bulletin revision, if it should, in fact indicate that visa numbers are not available in a particular category.
    �MurthyDotCom
    Legal Fight Brewing
    �MurthyDotCom
    There is substantial legal wrangling ongoing because of the anticipation of this unprecedented occurrence. The American Immigration Law Foundation (AILF) has announced plans to file suit against the USCIS for any cases rejected due to a revised Visa Bulletin.
    �MurthyDotCom
    Conclusion
    �MurthyDotCom
    It is difficult to formulate words in reaction to this matter. So, for the time being, we will let our clients and readers know that our full sympathies are with them, as they face yet another potential disappointment. We also let them know that we have been long-time supporters and contributors to AILF and we will fully do our part to fight what comes.

    Your router may have the problem.
    You need to buy a good router. Your phone is good with long range.

    WiFi is 2.4 GHZ.

    5.8 GHZ phone will have many disadvantages.

    The BEST choice for cordless phone for range, and lack of interfearance is a DECT phone.. the 1.9Ghz range is a licenced radio frequency for the exclusive use of cordless phones, unlike any other cordless phone frequency (900Mhz, 2.4Ghz, 5.8Ghz.) and as it is lower in frequency (aside from 900 Mhz) it operates with the furthest distance than any cordless phone.

    I am using DECT phone. It is mentioned as DECT 6.0

    is it same as 1.9GHz or different 6.0 GHz?

    i am waiting too, for the full month of june my attorney was sitting on my case not filing it as they were busy preparing the doc's for the july filers, finally they filed on july 2.

    Exactly right. My attorney sat on my completed applications for more than 20 days and decided to file it on 2nd July. And now they refuse to even follow up with USCIS about the fate of my application.. Wish I could take legal actions agst them..

    AMY GOODMAN: Let me ask you about national sovereignty�

    LOU DOBBS: Sure.

    AMY GOODMAN: �in a moment. But first, I want to turn to an excerpt of your show from August 22nd.

    LOU DOBBS: This year?

    AMY GOODMAN: This year.

    LOU DOBBS: All right!

    LOU DOBBS: Just one day after President Bush signed legislation here in Washington to build a border fence, the government of Mexico is threatening the sovereignty and national security of the United States. President Vicente Fox and President-Elect Felipe Calderon are both asserting that the United States has no right to build such a fence along our southern border. At the same time, the White House and its allies in corporate America appear determined to create a new North American Union, incorporating Canada, Mexico and the United States. Such a union would, in effect, create a giant nation.

    AMY GOODMAN: Lou Dobbs, August 22, 2007.

    LOU DOBBS: Sure.

    AMY GOODMAN: Juan?

    JUAN GONZALEZ: Well, this concept of a giant nation, could you expand on it?

    LOU DOBBS: The North American Union?

    JUAN GONZALEZ: Yes.

    LOU DOBBS: Well, coming from the 2005 meeting with Stephen Harper, the prime minister of Canada, Vicente Fox, then the president of Mexico, and George W. Bush�I�m sure you�re still delighted to know he�s president of the United States�met and laid out the foundation through the Security and Prosperity Partnership. What has ensued since then, there have been a number of high-level meetings�military, business, and governmental leaders�all of which had been closed to the press and all toward harmonizing, if you will, relations between the two and diminishing the border and the encumbrances to commerce moving straight ahead.

    AMY GOODMAN: Just to be clear, it could have been 2006, that report, so I want to be factually accurate. It was either this year or last year.

    LOU DOBBS: Well, I forgive you, no matter what it was.

    USCIS will be liable to pay the expenditure incurred by each applicant (laywers fee, medical exam fee, cancelled air tickets etc) and not to mention the mental stress caused by this whole episode of renegging on their visa bulletin.

    They should have done in the last week of June instead of waiting for july 2nd monday.
    Technically all those applications that will be in the mail before the fresh visa bulletin on monday or tuesday has to be honoured by USCIS come what may.

    If not, they will have to face lots of legal cases not to mention the embarassment of incompetency of these USCIS employees.

    Let us pool together money for a legal case.

    Well One thing is for sure ...

    Every time When US Senator Chuck Grassley introduces a bill ... He and His Anti-I
    Are getting succeded in two ways
    1. Bill is getting passed
    2. Dividing the immigrent family into narrow tiny pieces...

    If you wants to protest against L1 they will do the same with US...

    Guess what they can lobby more than us.. they invest more than us... you are talking about the gaints companies.

    Stop fussing about L1 and start disscussing about the billl


    This is what I did I sent the bill text to my friends (L1 and H1) and explaning them that this Bill is equally bad for us both and let their employer knows and act against to it...

    I sent E-mail to my sanator to vote against to the bill

    I exactly know where your statements about 2005-2006-2007 coming from. Your basic assumptions is that 2005-2006-2007 guys are those who just came to US 2-3 yrs back and now want their GC asap whereas you are waiting in line for 6-7 years...right?
    Ma'm with all due respect, that is not correct for most of the cases. There are several people who has to re-file their labor for several reasons (employer greedy, company overtaken, laid-off, company gone bankrupt etc etc.). That does not mean that 2005-2006-2007 guys are asking that they should get GC before 2001-2004 people. What most of the people need is an ability to file for AOS so that they can indepenedent of the clutches of their employers.
    I'm sure if you widen your horizon, you will be able to understand the plight of all your brothers and sisters stuck in this retrogression.

    For your information

    I140 approved-Sept 2006

    I have MS in EE from US and working since 2001,filed my GC in 2005 May(PERM).

    However can you please tell me anyone who got GC in Eb2/Eb3(India) in 1-2 yr in the last 15 yrs?
    Exactly that is now 2006-2007 PD guys are expecting to happen a miracle, right? I mean, apply 485,EAD ASAP.

    If you guys really care about 2002-2003-2004 guys, then please please wait for OCT 07 bulletin and after that you can do anything you want. If they will retrogress the dates, then please fight but not before that.

    This is just a suggestion. If you like follow it, otherwise ignore.

    USCIS and DOS should respond to their irresponsible and negligent behavior. They are going to do that to Federal Courts for sure because of the Law Suit. I would want them to answer to Congress because they wasted law abiding tax payers money.

    Remember this site name is called 'IMMIGRATION VOICE'. Please do not stop the people who are sending flowers. This will get media attention. This will not force USCIS to accept applications but it will give a chance to Congress to become a more vigilant watchdog of USCIS. As long as immigration is in Congress agenda, atleast all the numbers will be used rather than get wasted from now on. I am pretty sure and confident that Oct 2007 bulletin will move forward and high demand countries will be given more than 7% rather than wasting the numbers.

    Before I tell this My PD Feb 2003. What is wrong if a person who has a PD 2007 would DREAM of applying for 485??. I do not support retrogression, even though I am the victim of it. I do not want everyone to be in line like me. Please be progressive in your thinking so that future immigrants who play by book does not get in to waiting line like us.


    Hello all
    I am a silent visitor of this website.
    Just my 2 cents... Don't think USA is like India where you can do something forcefully. Why don't you guys understand the real problem of USCIS.
    Do you think that by sending flower to USCIS will force them to make EB2/EB3 current for 2005/2006/2007 guys??

    Please try to understand their problem.
    Also India is the great. Why don't you guys just think that India is your home country where you are born and brought up. Why you people can't just wait and watch?? If nothing happens to the so called GC, then why don't you think to pack up and go back to India???????

    My sincere request, please don't do rally, you might be arrested......you never know what they can do..... Don't you think that, it is better to go back to India rather than being embarrassed here in US???

    Isn't it a shame on us to go for Rally to get GC?????:D

    Just think that you will get it when time comes, otherwise pack up.

    Please don't take much tension as life is very short. I am assuring you all, nothing will happen with law suit and flower campaign.Don't irritate USCIS by doing all this please.

    Hello Pappu,

    I feel we should have some banners up in different Indian stores, specially targeting some selfish EAD holders, who already feel they got their green cards irrespective of the current visa bulletin

    1. Setting up banners will not only attract new members, but will make these EAD holders think from a rational perspective.

    2.Also IV administration should send out a personal email to all it members, informing them about the importance of coming together, this way the EAD members who have stopped coming to IV will get the message.

    3. We should contact the Indian newspaper editors, to print about our rally on March1st 2009, I believe more awareness we spread a better result we get.


    Thank you
    Some ideas are good. In order to implement them, we need support from members. Pls volunteer and take up the ideas to lead them. For example I have mentioned about poster and banner campaign. If each one of us, prints them and post them in various places, we can get good publicity.

    We have to make do with such low cost volunteer work. Someone pointed out that we should contact newspapers and get articles published. Wish it was so easy. We have written tons of mails but that alone does not work. You need to issue press releases and publish them online. Publishing them each online costs a couple hundred dollars by publishing services who distribute, and there is no guarantee it will be picked up. Thus you need a focussed campaign for it. There are services where you can contact reporters and media on a specific topic and send them email, press release directly. If they are already writing article you can know the deadline. If you have an idea, you can pitch a story idea to the reporter directly. A good service I know costs 5K for non profits for one year. If you need access to International reporters database add 2k to it. All this is possible only if we have these kinds of resources. When we can hardly get contributions of 5k in 4 months after collecting $5 each, it is tough to plan a big media campaign. The reason why other big organizations and big anti immigrant orgs can get so much publicity is that they probably can spend their huge resources on such services. They can also afford a full time staff. We do not have all that and run IV along with our full time day time jobs. So the first thing we need to do before we run any campaign is to get more members and more contributions and monthly signups. Without that ideas may only remain on the forums.
