If these #s are released, lets say 12K, or whatever:
How will these affect the processing times.
I guess these cases that qualify are all propbably pre-adjucated. In that case will it increase the processing time for PERM, I-140 and 485 stages.
How will EAD and AP extensions get affected.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will keep your advise in mind.
I did mean later not earlier! It would yield you your GC! Most GC approved this month so far has gone to people with PD 2006. One of those is possibly yours!
So go ahead and file a lawsuit.

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.

I had the misfortune of travelling thru London in December on my way to Mumbai. After I purchased my tickets, I learnt that I need a transit visa (TV) for UK. (Who is going to tell them (UK) that they are no longer the center of attraction esp. if you have lived and worked in US). Anyway, as per the rules, you need a transit visa if you don�t have a valid US visa. (Note: If you have AP, and don�t have a valid visa, you still need a TV).
I went to their site and did all the research to get a TV. Good god Heavens! Has anyone filled out their painful form for a TV? Besides asking the usual details, they get extremely nosy. They want to know each and everything about you. Where you work, what money do you make, name of your wife, kids and their citizenship status, name of your father and mother and where they were born, their birth date, how much money you have and where the money is (stocks, bonds, CDS) etc. etc. While filling up the form I realized that, even my future father in law did not pose so many probing questions to me. (Please note: I don�t mind answering these silly questions for a regular visa, but for the damn TV, it is certainly overkill).
Anyway to cut the long story short. The regular cost of TV is/was $92. However, when I filled up the application form they were asking for $184. (The satisfaction of getting a good deal on the tickets was quickly evaporating). I assumed I must have made a mistake in thinking the cost to be $92 and reluctantly paid $184. Next it was time to fill the application for my wife and answer the idiotic questions again. You should have seen the �I will kill you right now� look on my wife�s face after I woke her up in the middle of night and asked details about her parents. After I filled up the form, to my surprise, now they were asking $274 for visa fees. It was already 2:00 am and I have no choice but to painfully enter my credit card details, hoping that they would realize the mistake in their recon process and would reimburse the difference. (Of course, I was only dreaming).
It is now almost the end of January and I have still now received any money from them. I have tried sending several email to the emb(ass)y, but none of their emails work. I get bounced email for all the emails that I have used. I have tried calling them and left messages and no one has called back. I have send emails to my credit card company and the people who processed the payment and none of them have been able to help me. There is a way to talk to someone in the emb(ass)y, but you need to dial a 900 number, which BTW costs $2.49 per minute. Throwing good money after bad is not an option.
I just wanted to share this experience with you and remind you of the pain ahead, if you are travelling thru UK and don�t have a valid US visa. Personally, even if they had charged me the regular $92, I will still use other options to travel next time. The amount of time wasted in filling the crappy application form, going to NY, (starting Dec doing your finger prints) is simply too much to handle. Visiting your motherland/fatherland is a very special occasion and all these intermediate steps certainly water down the �good feeling� that you experience during the days leading to your trip.
I haven�t given up my quest for a refund, but now, not only I want my money back I would like to bring back home the Koh-i-noor too.

I was asking for Ideas.. it is not just Kumar or some more people giving an idea that one should leave the house if the value of the house has gone down and now you have to move because of ur job and it is hard selling ur house where u may have to bear a loss ..
I already had conversation with american people ( not any desi's) in my office and they also had the same opinion as to leave a house if u have to leave because of job..
U tell me how wise it is to give a loan to a person without a down payment..The reason i said that other people are stupid is because.. i took an ARM loan of 5 years,, where i knew that i am not going to live in the house for more than 3 years and will later sell it..and there are people who knew that they are going to stay in the same house for more than their ARM period.. but didnt realize that they wont be able to make payment once the rate is re-adjusted.. i am calling those people's decision as stupid..
about me making a bad decision about buying a house.. well not 2 years ago..
i can sell the house for a loss of may be 20,000.. but why should i pay that money from my pocket.. i can keep that in my savings account and use it in my bad time..
Well you seem to have same attitude problem as others in this situation. When people were making profit they were thankful, and now banks/system is there to blame.
Let's see how you are not different from those "stupid" people. Keyword here is "greed". You got greedy and bought house bcoz it will appreciate. People who knew they will be living for more than 5 yrs got ARM bcoz they have to pay less/month(max. leverage), house will appreciate and/or they can refinance when time comes. Do you see any similarity ??? So please stop using derogatory words like "stupid". Banks were lending bcoz they were greedy. All the parties have one thing in common greed.
Ok, coming back to your case. I do not have any experience with foreclosure. From your post it seems like you are losing $20k. Well this does not seem a very big amount. Consider the impact of foreclosure, bad credit will mean you will not get any loan. It will be tough to get auto or any other credit. You carry risk with background checks. I think the lending standards will get tough going forward which means you don't know for how long you will not qualify for home. In my opinion, if you have 20k and it is matter of losing some savings, not going to foreclosure looks better option.
I hope you will learn to own up to your own mistakes, it will only make you better person in life. Good luck.

rsharma, l1fraud,
There is nothing wrong in reporting fraud.
However your argument that you are reporting it since you cannot tolerate fraud isn't that convincing.
If you were always against injustice/lawlessness, you will see a lot of it in your daily life. Do you report or take action against each of those ? I don't think so.
After living in India for long and seeing people put up with all injustice and sometimes doing it themselves, it is hard to believe your argument that you are doing it just for the sake of law.
I am not saying that we are reporting fraud just for the sake of not tolerating it. This is effecting our GC. Earlier the effect was related to the job being taken away now it is effecting our GC too.
Initially L1s were sponsored only by large offshore companies like TCS, WIPRO etc.. The effect was that the jobs were taken away. But it did not have much effect on the GC side as most of these large offshore companies do not process GC for their employees.
But nowadays lots of small Offshore companies started doing L1As. These companies do not have lots of clients like TCS or WIPRo but they have a handfull of clients. So to make sure they have their clients they started bringing people in L1As and processing GC under EB1 for them. Although many of these people are developers and should be in EB3 and should be behind in the line. But as they are in L1A and are appling in Eb1 they are getting GC in no time and also taking the visa#s away. There are hunderes of these small offshore companies started getting people in L1As. Thus these EB1 Visa #s are not overflowing to EB2. This is effecting our GC.
Now we have :
1. Large offshore companies sponsored L1s taking the jobs
2. The small offshore companies sponsored L1s taking the GC visa #s.
If the L1As are indeed senior Manager then no problem, but the Developers/Business Analyst/ Project Manager without hire-fire authority are getting GC under EB1.
Thus these frauds should be reported so that at least the # of EB1 visas are not taken by fraud.
So you too can see how this fraud is effecting us all.

Flower campaign, I said this one week back and did not do anything on that but was requesting others to join. I did send letters twice to 6 address and sending cards again today.
How do we organize this flower camaign or anything . Shouldnt a core member start the initiative by listing the action on the headlines.
I am sure people are waiting to see Oct bulletin. But based on information we have, please be assured nothing good can be seen, unless a miracle. Wait for the next bulletin may not be as pleasant in case you are looking for a job (No I am not). Lets all shoot emails to CORE IV now, to request them to start a campaign. I think from our end that shoudl be the 1st step. Unless they get the group together, we will be headless chicken as someone said, writing in doifferent threads,
EB3-India needs to move atleast 3-4 years.

Collected from some other forum . Just google search your name combinations ( within quotes ).
For eg. if you have FirstName MiddleName LastName .
The search should be ( put within quotes )
"FirstName MiddleName"
"FirstName LastName"
"MiddleName LastName"
and all the reverse combinations.
If you get hits in 100s or 1000s , yeah you can wait 2 -3 years.
This is observed from the names of Indians.
well this is great news there were no hits for my husbands name and only 1 hit for my name! Hopefully we will be ok and not get stuck in name checks then! Thank you for your response!

Hello,
I have heard of the TERM 'Interfiling' to port your priority date from EB3
to EB2. This i hear happens when your 485 is pending with USCIS and
you have an EB2 labour with current PD date. So you transfer the PD using Interfiling.
Any one any thoughts or have you done this ?
Thank You !
Not sure why you need it? But I guess you gotta start a new process (Pre-Labor Work incl. ads+Labor EB2+I140,etc.) from the beginning.

Air India flying direct to India starting from feb 08, at least that's what I was told when I went through that horryifing experience in UK (see my post above)
Air India has been flying direct non stop to india from NYC area for quite some time now.......
and i was recently in seattle - driving by boeing facility (its actually right by the main freeway)- saw quite a few brand new planes with Air India and Jet signage.......so help is on the way :-)
also - am shocked that people still use travel agents - when all major airlines scream at the top of their voices that their lowest fares are online.....
i have flown non stop from NYC area at all times of the year and also have bought tickets for my parents from delhi-newark and return - all on continental.com and have never paid more than $1100 per person ...(sometimes even around 850) plus if you use the right kind of credit card online - you can recover almost 10% of the cost via rewards points.
as an aside - an interesting story

I believe that we will get 14-15K from EB2 ROW, EB1 = 12K (currently) + 6K (Minimum), regular cap I/C 6K. Eb2 row usage is down to 60%.
Total Numbers = 14 + 18 + 6 = 38K.
Now total demand is not just 34K demand data we also have porting and new filings especially from May - Jul 2007. My assumption of porting has been 6K out of which 2K have been approved.
So really its almost an exact match till Jul - Aug 2007. We should wait for the May bulletin thing to come true firts I believe VDLRAO gave a great calculation for that.
Don't forget EB5

For those in South ( Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana) best way to go to India is new Emirates direct flight between Houston and Dubai and then onward to India.
I have had 3-4 friends fly this route since they started flying in November 2007 and they have nothing but praise for everything. These guys have excellent food and entertainment and no transit visa hassels plus duty free sopping in Dubai is good.
Pluse - they put you up in a hotel if your Dubai layover is more than 8 hrs (for economy class passengers) and you get a free transit visa to visit Dubai. During my last trip to Bangalore, I went via Dubai (NYC - Dubai direct flight) and on my way back we had 11 hrs layover. My wife and I got a chance to see the city. Next time we are going to India we are planning on staying for a few days and go for their desert camp trip.

This is purely cruel and torturous. I only hope this remains a rumor at best and that this is the brainchild of someone in the State Department with a twisted sense of humor.

Lou Dobbs, Leprosy, and Immigrants
In "Truth, Fiction and Lou Dobbs" by DAVID LEONHARDT writes about the latest controversy about Lou Dobb's "reporting" on immigration that came to light on a �60 Minutes� segment profiling Dobbs a few weeks ago. According to Leonhardt,
a �60 Minutes� producer came across a 2005 news report from Mr. Dobbs�s CNN program on contagious diseases. In the report, one of Mr. Dobbs�s correspondents said there had been 7,000 cases of leprosy in this country over the previous three years, far more than in the past. When Lesley Stahl of �60 Minutes� sat down to interview Mr. Dobbs on camera, she mentioned the report and told him that there didn�t seem to be much evidence for it. �Well, I can tell you this,� he replied. �If we reported it, it�s a fact.�
The truth is that the evidence behind the statement is jist not there. The Southern Poverty Law Center later took out advertisements in The New York Times and USA Today demanding that CNN run a correction.
For more of the story, click here. How can a reputable international media outlet like CNN put up with such shoddy reporting on one of the most pressing social issues of our generation?

I agree with focusing on the Logfren bills, but the flower campaign might not work. Last year it was a combination of pressure on the lawmakers, USCIS and DOS by IV, AILA and a other groups. the flower campaign highlighted the issue to the public and gave us wide exposure...last years fiasco did not require a law change. In our case the clear cut issue is to make recapture happen. The only why for it to happen is by pressuring the lawmakers to take a yes or no decision.
I think we should all request our employers to call the lawmakers, individual calls will help but we need to take it to the next level as the window is very short.
Ok it too late for the letters..we need to focus on the HR bills by Resp Sen Lofgren..we have a narrow window here.. and bi partisan support..we can send her flowers and request the Senator to take this up seriously..also we can send the flowers to the co-sponsors..at thier local offices instead of DC ..since DC office is closed now..
What does EB-3 thinks..we can send flowers to these guys and also to Charles Oppenhiemer...
Flowers anybody??;)
we can start the campign from monday!
