I am starting this new thread to discuss about EB visas spillover usage based on oldest priority date irrespective of category/country. Currently the spillover happens vertically(a top down approach) from EB1 -> EB2 -> EB3...etc. Instead it should be first used on cases with oldest priority date. This will not only give a good move to clear the backlog but will also be a fair rule for those who are patiently waiting in queue for a long time. I wrote my concern about this to my local congressman. I also request each one of you, who is impacted by this, or who is interested to help us out, to kindly contact your local congressman/woman to express your concern. In turn they can contact USCIS to implement this fair rule to help us all out.

Problem was ours (EB2 & EB3) and we fought together until EB2&EB3 dates were retrogressed.Now the problem is only for EB3s so EB3s only have to come forward and work for ourselves. Thank you Sir...
No, you are twisting what I said. My point is, if you are not willing to help yourself, why do you expect people who are going to be current in a year or so to chip in? You can start helping yourself by becoming a regular donor to IV. That's $25 a month. Imagine 11,000 odd EB people becoming regular donors. Maybe, IV can then run a regular ad in major news network, explaining our plight.
What I am saying is we(EB2&3) will fight together and you are saying that It's your problem and you(EB3) have to work for yourself.So do we have to start a new community called eb3immigrationvoice?
I never said EB3 will have to fight it alone. All I said is, 90% of EB3 folks stuck in the rot of backlog want someone else to take the lead and do it.
Again, please do not twist what I said. I rest my case.

I have my reasons to stay here which you will never understand.
Is this fair? You only rebuked questions with Katrina, and your boss, why not rebuke all my questions?
And, I do not have to understand your reasons, as long as we all understand our reasons, that should stop us from coming to IV and whining.

Problem: USCIS is not following FIFO
Why are they not following FIFO: Becoz they don't want to waste visa's. If I am USCIS what am I supposed to do. If I waste visa I get smacked. If I try to use up visa I get smacked ;) So what am I supposed to do with the limited resources:confused:
SOLUTION
Provide a provision for USCIS to automatically recapture unused visa's - this will give USCIS a buffer so that they don't act crazy in the last quarter - This provision already exists in HR 5882, this benefits everyone
Short Term - Gather a group of affected ppl and meet with USCIS and Immigration subcommittee chair's and present the issue and let Congress put pressure on USCIS to follow FIFO.
Note: My understanding is that USCIS is not doing any unlawful thing (guidelines aren't a law) by not following FIFO, but however it is unfair.
Best solution is HR 5882, it benefits everyone
It is a shame to see high-skilled folks stoop to such low-levels (EB2-3 fights) just to get a card. Please have basic etiquette - respect for fellow professionals. EB1/EB2/EB3 is just a classification based on job description, America needs every category, so please respect those category members. Every category is inter depended on each other. For example: don't tell me that an EB1/2 fellow doesn't require EB3 folks for his/her professional growth.
Please stop this EB1/2/3 category fights and focus on a long lasting solution to the retrogression problem.
Let us have a healthy debate to solve the problem rather than fighting over silly comments..

Response from GA Republican Senator Saxby Chambliss:
Dear Mr. xxx:
Thank you for contacting me regarding S. 729, the "Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act." It is good to hear from you.
S. 729 was introduced on March 26, 2009, and referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. After meeting certain criteria, illegal aliens would be allowed to receive in-state tuition from the state in which they reside.
The legislative language establishes these requirements for an individual to qualify for the tuition benefit:
o must be under the age of 35,
o have entered the United States before the age of 16,
o resided in the United States for at least the last five years
o earned a high school diploma or GED in the United States
On September 21, 2010 I joined my Senate colleagues in defeating a procedural vote on the DREAM Act. I remain opposed to the bill as currently drafted and will continue to keep your thoughts in mind should this legislation come before the full Senate again.
If you would like to receive timely email alerts regarding the latest congressional actions and my weekly e-newsletter, please sign up via my web site at: www.chambliss.senate.gov . Please let me know whenever I may be of assistance.

record conversatios with these jack ass employers. It is surprising how much crap and illegal things they tell and do during negotiations. Not sure about the legality, would not harm if you dont use it. We keep seeing news on people getting screwed and then when outed the victim is not usually screwed by the system again.
Also, I wonder if any employment contract not tied to any reasonable time estimate( like 485 - who knows when we will get it) will hold.Its akin to slavery.

the title of thread suggests the meaning of divided interests... i think we all are ignoring one thing, lets say for ex. the administration changes its tune and makes all dates current. Then is that going to solve our problems will every one get GC right away? I dont know for sure what is the rationale for dates movement either becoz of demand of USCIS or any further directives but one thing for sure... Till Numerical limits disappear ( either by allowing recapture or eliminating country limits) no light in sight... May be it Flower campaign by "EBX" when EBX gets retrogressed is good for words...
Recap is best bet , becoz with political support rest of world has its not that easy to make a law that will eliminate country limits.. It is there to help for some select countries and keep developing countries at bay.
You got it just right. Dear friend, this is the truth for immigrant community. Everyone here stands for their own GC, how can we expect others to fight for you. So as and when USCIS hurts different categories, people come here and form a loosely coupled organization.

My husband received CPO mail on 08/04, welcome mail on 08/05, soft LUD on 08/06 and approval notice sent mail on 08/09 but dated 08/08 in USCIS status. Hoping to have the GC in hand next week.
Anyone who has the same chain of events or received GC for CPO mail on 08/04 or later?

So if the kid gets his GC and you do too because he, like many other kids, are removed from the queue, is that a problem or a good thing?
Plus in a lot of fields, having an MS or PhD is absolutely necessary.
mrajatish,
I think you get the point. This will clear a lot of people from the queue...

I am in for $100.
By the way if we have 20,000 members and even if each pledge $5, we can reimburse the core team expenses. How often we have to teach and tell the Math to our so called highly skilled free riders.
Some should be feeling really guilty for using IV and not contributing till now. Come out the stingy attitude and help.
Thats because 19,236 members hide somewhere when there are talks about $.
If some people want to criticize IV same 19,236 members will be first to jump on forums and post messages!
PS: 19,236 is just a made up number!

should we add the following content?
EB quota is only a small share compared to overall immigration quota. Per Country cap on family based immigration can still be remained to ensure diversity. However, we request to remove country cap on EB immigration. US employees are only looking for talents to keep competitiveness, no matter the talents is from India, China, or Luxembourg .
Below is what I sent. Maybe we can tweak this letter and send it to all senators and congressmen.
Subject: Discrimination of Indian Immigrants
Dear President Obama,
I wanted to bring to your attention the plight of hundreds of thousands of highly skilled Indian immigrants waiting endlessly for many years in order to obtain a permanent residency in the US. The process of getting a permanent residency is a long, winding, time consuming, financially and emotionally draining experience, with no end at sight. After 5 to 10 years of waiting in line, paying taxes, obeying law, many high skilled workers from India find that permanent residency is only a dangling carrot that they may never get it.
One of the biggest hurdles for high skilled immigrants from India is a country cap that limits applicants from any one country from having more than 7% of the available employment based green cards (140,000 visa numbers per year). This means applicants from countries like Andorra and Luxembourg get the same number of green cards as applicants from India and China. This causes a person from India and China to wait 5 to 10 years in order to get permanent residency while applicants from all other countries have zero wait time. We are here in USA because we wanted to be a part of USA, and not because we came from a certain country. All applicants should be treated equally and country cap only allows discrimination by national origin in the disguise of fairness to all, as US has a lot more high skilled workers from India or China than from Andorra or Luxembourg.
President Obama, we are here to pursue the American Dream and we find hurdles at every level during the immigration process. I request you to kindly remove the discriminatory country cap and provide us relief. This is a small step that can enormously help hundred of thousands of high skilled immigrants and we will be grateful to you for our lifetime.
Thank you President Obama and you are doing a wonderful job!
Sincerely,
Xxxxx xxxxx
