Human nature is to believe good news and ignore bad news (worst yet hoping for that to change). Why do you think most of the bollywood movies have a happy ending?

In my opinion by 'Using the unused EB2 visa for EB3 ROW instead of EB2 India', USCIS is following the law as congress pased it...The law may be not fair but that is a different issue...If you want to change the law you have to get that done from the congress...suing USCIS would get you nowhere....
People seem to think uscis/dos is doing it wrong and it should be going horizontal rather then vertical. However, since people just keep getting mad at it because they think dos is doing it wrong but are not willing to do something about it.
The main thing ac21 did differently then before enactment of ac21 was that it allowed unused visas from ROW to be used by other countries on a quarterly basis and not in the final quarter.
One of the frustrations is that dos/uscis was very lazy in approving cases and allowing 485 filings and weren't watching because they allowed too manyh people to file (as soon as there are more applicatoins then visa numbers they are supposed to establish cut off dates). They had more applications then what they can approve long before they actually established cut off dates (January 2005). However, people got spoiled. Now they are going back and being very careful about it. This situation should have presented itself much before it actually did.

USCIS is much better then the earlier INS.
International Student Advisors (ISA) attend their conferences/updates for student visas. My ISA used to say that these persons are very very rude. The purpose of these updates was to tell what they had decided to make a rule. No one was supposed to ask a question about the rule. If you ask a question they just tell you that this is how it is.
Even the immigration lawyers are very scared of them. The lawyers don't question them.

After hearing this, do you think our folks will sit quiet. We will do whatever it takes to makes sure that American jobs stays American.
By god grace , we will make sure that Strive act does not pass. Especially, the portion that talks about employment based category.
What an intellectually bankrupt person you are. If in 25 yrs time, someone who would bring skills that improve America's economic competitiveness and strengthens this country's overall quality of life is being brought here by a Lear jet, why would I crib over that, saying I only came in first class? I would roll out the red carpet, it would not be about me, it is about what that person is bringing and the need for it here that determines this. What don't you get in that?
You are just demonstrating your ignorance over and over again.

I had the first-hand opportunity to meet and see IV core members working for our cause. Really, it gives you the chill that thinking its the same GC everyone on this forum wants but the dedication with which they are approaching is amazing. There is no point talking about what we "could have done" after the congress session is over and god forbid, our bill doesn't pass through. 2008 is all about elections and the citizens, not too much of immigration will come to forefront, so please think.....
Contributors> thanks for the contribution...
Sideline onlookers> Till yesterday we had about 40.08% contribution and as of noon today we are only at 43.97%, contribution of 3.89% which amounts to around $2400 :) I bet we can do so much better after all we are so called "high skilled" immigrants....
please step up and let's not make it a beg fest..here..thanks !
T I am not a core member, but I trust these guys, they have been working hard putting in their own hard-earned money for travelling, and carrying out IV work. At this point, IV really needs two things, more members and more FUNDS . IV needs you to contribute, even if it is $20

Folks ,
Thousand if not millions of us are affected by DOS's reversal of the visa bulletin, and it would be quite a protest even if 20% of us joined together and raised our voice against this ill-fated system.
Obviously, a lot of us have been adversely affected emotionally and monetarily by this unprecedented knee-jerk reaction by DOS. A lot of our plans have gone completely astray and we again seem to be staring aimlessly at an uncertain future with very little hope in sight.
What's even worse is none of the elected representatives have bothered to question DOS's action except Congresswoman Lofgren . Immigration seems to have become a joke to our lawmakers(Wonder why Jay Leno hasn't picked on it yet) . We most certainly deserve to be treated much more gracefully than as use-and-throw commodities.
There was never a time when people had to wait for years togther without seeing any progress on their GC applications. Call it unfortunate , but our times have seen one set back after another for something which used to be a routine part for every legal (and highly skilled at that) immigrant's career in the United States. In fact, besides a good university system, it was this country's receptive immigration laws which brought us here in the first place and now immigration in US has become one of the most difficult hurdles to overcome.
Modern day immigrants have done so much to empower American economy and enrich the society as well in many subtle ways. A lot of us hold important and responsible positions in our respctive firms and having permanent residency would immensely help us do our jobs more efficiently. We have left a lot behind in search of a better life,we have put in every effort to adapt to the culture and lifestyle of this country and have even turned a blind eye to ocassional racist remarks or prejudices . Inspite of going through all this, little did we imagine that one day we would even have to question if going back to where came from is actually a better option merely owing to a rigid immigration system. Eventhough times have changed and many other countries seem to have a more successful immigrationn system than the US, our administration still hasn't woken up from it's slumber.
Sure, we all were very well aware of the KKK days or "Dot Buster" days of the 80s before coming here but then we surmised that these were threats from asinine sections of the society who were completely ignorant of how we were directly or indirectly beneficial to their own well being, but we always felt hopeful that the administration was in favor of immigration and would help us become a part of the American society. Only after coming here did we realize that the administrators were as uninformed about immigration as the perpetrators of KKK or "Dot Buster" to the extent that they sometimes did not know the difference between legal and illegal immigrants. The issue of immigration was so badly ignored that a reform was actually long due even before the additional delays of 9/11 came into effect. Well, now with the unprecedented reversal of the July bulletin by DOS , the system seems to have completely fallen apart.
As mentioned before, we certainly deserve to be treated more gracefully but for that we have to raise our voice against this disfunctional system and alert the seemingly ignorant administrators towards our plight. Politely but firmly! We have waited patiently, but how much longer should we endure this while we are treated as simpletons in a stick-and-a-carrot game??
I have added my 2 cents by opting to send flowers to the USCIS to be delivered on July 10th. I am not claiming this to be the best approach , but it certainly seems to be a novel approach. Atleast it doesn't offend anyone, cause extra hassles to the local administration in maintaining order during a protest and doesn't need you to take time off from your work. And no! I'm not endorsing this idea on behalf of the florists association of america(if at all there is something like that) . I'm in no way affiliated to the florists and stand to gain nothing if you ordered from them!
We would love to know if you have a better idea, but I think it's imperative that we all rasie our voice in unison against this system.

Thanks
Bala

But how can that be unless we r mistaken about the category EB1 may be.
How can there be RD/NDs of 2008 as far as I remember only 15 or 30 days of July were open for filing I-485 after that dates had retrogressed......
If what u're saying is true...the whole process is as random as possible....
SoP
These are PDs in 2003 or before Apr 2004 cases. VB in Oct 2008 as well as in Oct NOv 2007 was at Apr 2004 thus these guys got approved even though the RDs were in late 2008. I am not sure what the processing times were in Oct NOv 2008 but these were certainly not in 2008 i.e. the processing time must have been in 2007.

Didn't this already addressed by law? Substitute labor is a "stopped" deal. Whatever left is the "que" is old mess, which will be cleared out eventually. Is there a better suggestion you have to clean the old mess?
