I am hoping atleast it will move forward and not backwards....
Dec 2001 is my guess. Hopefully, it will continue to move as the year progresses...
what DEC 2001 ? Is this for India China or rest of the world?

If we can understand why most of us want a GC we can understand the poll better.
In my opinion most of us here want the GC because we want to change jobs for better pay, better professional growth, to live in a better place, better work environment, etc, the list can be endless. ( I guess if you don't have all these then you don't have freedom)
If we can get our GC's no matter with which employer we work as long as we do our job ( as mentioned in our LC) we will not be bothered too much about our GC process ( We are dependent on our employer sponsoriing our GC so we are not independent)
I can say atleast half of us who are waiting for the GC don't have any ambitions as of now to take active role in building this society, if we really had such we can do that at our home countries too.
Like someone said in this thread " Reverse Brain Drain " is an empty slogan if we use ourselves call ourselves the brain which America needs to keep it going.

EB3 I is going to have a long wait. I had applied for Canadian green card and had received it. At present i have EAD and AP. Is it worthwhile to go into consular processing and work in canada or apply for a blue card or think about Australia. If this sounds okay how should i proceed.

What is your PD? Your profile says you are July Filer and your labor approval date is in 2008. Maybe a typo? I think if your PD is before 2003 for EB-3 I, there is hope of getting GC by end of 2010. Otherwise, it could be a really long wait without any legislative changes.

This is what my attorney told me:
4 Year Bachelors in India + 5 years of Exp (excluding sponsoring emp)
3 Year Bachelors in India + 2 Yrs(Msc) /3 Years(MCA) + 5 years of Exp (excluding sponsoring emp)
4 Year Bachelors in India + US Masters + 2 years of Exp (excluding sponsoring emp)
All these qualify for EB2. Just make sure you Job Description requires eb2.
Also, consult with a leading attorney and show you employer, that this is doable.

Here are the few main reasons for retrogression to India and China etc are
1) When H1B quota is 65, 000 the GC visa number is 140, 000 . But when they increased H1B from 65,000 to 195,000 the did not incresed GC visa numbers.
2) There is no country quota in H1B ( other than Chile and one more country for 7,000) visas. So most of the H1b's are issued to few countries like India,China and Philippines. But when we come to GC visa there is country quota.
3) We all know about that ilegal immigrants used some GC numbers which are meant for EB people.
We need to educate the USCIS why and how we are suffering in getting GC.
there is no need and use of blaming Desi companies. I do not support any illegal activities like sale of Labour certifications .
We all know about supply and demand theory which causes black marketing.
Selling of approved labour ( which has old PD ) is also same thing.

I talked to my lawyer about this. They have filed about 300 applications on July2'nd(reached USCIS on July 2). They haven't gotten a single application back. I think we can relax. July 2 applications are in the beginning of the queue and should get receptis after the june applications are done.

The only difference this time is, it has come in the form of a memo. It is in fact a blessing in disguise. AILA has some reference document against which they can fight in court and get it overturned permanently.
I disagree with you. Last many H1-B petitions have denied on these grounds. Memo just made the current interpretation as public knowledge. Read the denial cases by and you will see what I am taking about.
It seems that AILA is making noise since this memo is going to hurt the business of their members.
....The law does not require any such letters by end-user clients for the issuance of the H1B visas to the visa applicants.
Technically the lawyer is correct. However, it is very difficult to show actual duties and job period for the beneficiary (H-1B worker) without the end-user client letter.
Example: [from the pdf file]
... The director declined to find that the proffered position was a specialty occupation because, as an employment contractor, the petitioner was in the business of contracting its employees to client sites and the record did not contain any evidence regarding the type of duties that the beneficiary would perform for these various clients. The director concluded that, without evidence regarding what duties the beneficiary would actually perform for the clients, the proffered position could not be classified as a specialty occupation.
............ for the purpose of determining whether a proffered position is a specialty occupation, the petitioner acting as an employment contractor is merely a "token employer," while the entity for which the services are to be performed is the "more relevant employer."

PS: The term token employer has been used.

I assume you've likely never studied in India though. An bachelor's degree in engineering is not very expensive, if you have good grades.
10 years back it would cost about $100-200 a year, if you qualified through a state ranking system.
i graduated more than 10 years ago...with an Engineering degree...i know about the $100-200 merit seats...which were extremely difficult to get. I could have gotten the merit seat in a lower ranked college but chose a better college. It applies to only the top 5% or less of the total applicants. You don't get to the top 5% without spending a small fortune in private coaching ...why... because your regular teachers hardly make an attempt to teach you well...and they are the same ones who make lot more money in private coaching.
Anyways even with the very little $100-200 "almost impossible to get" merit seats there are plenty of other expenses for engineering. This is out of the question if your family is not in lower middle class economically atleast.

Nik,
Did it say anything on your online account about RFE when you received the email, or you just got the email i.e. when you click on the receipt number it shows status of the case which usually shows a generic message that the case was received and is pending, so did that message change?
If not, then did anybody else who got the RFE had that message changed?
Thanks

Exactly my thoughts. However, that does not mean that I am not proud of heritage and culture of my country-of-origin.
The vast majority of people are here on these forums for getting their GC and USC.
I appreciate everyone who has congratulated me. Thank you so much. Please note that I sill belong to legal immigrant community and nothing can change that.
Good Luck to everyone (and that includes people who have given me red dots with comments) and I hope you get your GC soon.
____________________________
Proud to be an Indian-American and legal immigrant.
Anyway, I am still confused. If I am proud of my country of origin and its heritage then it must be absolutely impossible for me to entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity with my country of origin. That is the expectation every human society or country generally have and must have to advance its own culture. Well I can not see myself fitting in that "Ethics watch" if I am changiing citizenship. If I am changing citizenship I absolutely do not have strong ethical connection with my heritage and country. And in that case it is fine to change citizenship for me and if I do that I would not speak about pride to my heritage and country. And if I am really and sincerely proud of my country of origin I would not become citizen of other country in spite of any attractive lure. It is that simple.

With total contributions < 20% (may be lower) then Payton Boggs fees (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=50347&postcount=4) and repeated requests to focus on financial contributions, $0 contributing members continue (with utter dis-regard to financial contributions) to post in IV forums.
There is a member with $0 contributions but 241 posts (often non-english) containing utter nonsense. My dog can post 100 posts and become a senior member. However, my dog will be less shameless so as to avoid misusing someone's scarse resources.
We have 97% (of 9,000) members who can not pay $20. This is when Aman has spent 30-40K and core members have spent in K's.
The Skilled tag of IV members is only for Labor Certification. Shame on all financially non-contributing members and non-members who continue to hang here.
How dare you find IV only when you have a question?
How dare you get depressed and frustated on IV forums?
How dare you continue discussing unrelated issues when we don't have finances for Patton Boggs?

We need to cut all the negativity here on this forum and focus on things where we can actually make a difference in intellectual argumentative way.
It is absolutely useless at this point to predict the visa bulletins when we have a fair idea that there is about 3 or so years worth of backlog for EB2 and possibly much more for EB3.
This article shows a lot of research and thought process has gone into its making.
Great Job!

True, its unbelievable and very depressing that folks with PD earlier than 2002 are still waiting. I sincerely pray that all those guys should get their GC soon

I did paid consultation to find answer to this question with murthy office. As per them, one can do transfer and extension of H1B even after using AP as long as the current I-797 is still valid.
You mean a future employer can transfer and extend my H1 even after I entered on AP, right ?
That would be great news. But on this very forum I did read some posts which mentioned this wasn't possible.

Ok, if advertising is too far-fetched, then hold some cultural events and make money on those. Brainstorm with members to find other ways to make money.
Organizing cultural events does sound like a good idea, but again the problem is "organizing". I volunteered in a few cultural event organizations and know that its hardwork and need many volunteers even in a small city (especially if its a fund-raising type). My understanding is state chapters are crying for members, if state chapters have enough volunteers it would be a good idea.
I think there were many brainstorming discussions on fund raising earlier on these forums. The problem with these anonymous forums are that anyone can give a suggestion and then do nothing about it (I am guilty of the same sometimes). Thats why I liked the idea of state chapters where members know each other and may be able to motivate each other to volunteer some time/money/etc.
