I would like to request all the senior members at IV to help us with these questions:
1. The official expected delay in visa issuance in case of extra processing is 3 weeks and the DOS has conveniently left the additional administrative processing delay open ended which in turn has left us all law abiding professional non-immigrant/immigrant workers out of our jobs, away from our families and friends and homes for an exceptionaly long time. Is this worthy of a lawsuit/class action lawsuit given the number of people who are suffering?
2. DOS officials refuse to inform the applicants why and where their applications are stuck and how much longer it is expected to delay. Is this worthy of a lawsuit/class action lawsuit given the number of people who are suffering? Why can't the DOS come out with a bi-weekly report on how many people applied for visas, who were denied and who are referred to AAP (and how long each AAP applicant has been delayed)?
3. DOS VISA/ US immigration law does not seem to have any mechanism to protect the rights (do we have any rights or not is also a question) of those who get delayed unjustly (unjustly because they do not have any known criminal background and yet are treated like criminals). Is this worthy of a lawsuit/class action lawsuit given the number of people who are suffering?
4. So many of us in the security check are getting delayed just because our names are similar to known criminals in the databases. I wonder how many people by the name of "Timothy" (of the Timothy McVeigh of oklahoma bombing fame) or other US citizens whose names are similar to people taking part in various conflicts around the world are delayed/denied entry into the country for so long because of this illogical association. Does this "similar name so you are a criminal too" policy of DOS lend itself to judicial review?
5. In many cases remember that justice delayed is justice denied (as many of us will not be able to return due to reasons such as job loss or delay beyond I-797 approved time.
Sorry for this long post but many of us have these questions in mind. If you could tell us what are the problems we can face (finances, resources, etc.) if lawsuit/class action lawsuit route is adopted it would be of great help. Are there any organizations in US who can take up our cause (such as ACLU). Even if you say that this will be a futile exercise, it will at least help us all accept our fate a little better.
Thanks in advance.

It is easy to visualize a scenario where an activist Latino american citizen, probably acting under guidance by La Raza, purposefully fails to establish his identity and gets arrested. Imagine the media circus once the news outlets find out that an American citizen was detained due to this law.
I think it wont stand for long.

I see the problem with the 1+3 since that would be combining. The 2+3 usually gets accepted. However you just never know how things will go with USCIS.
I really am not able to understand your education pattern
10 = Std 10th
+2 = Std 12th I assume
+1 = Is this the commerce 1st year?
+3 sounds to be your diploma right? now what was eligiblity for the diploma 10th or 12th? I am assuming it was 10? since it was 3 years course.
My friend I hate to be sounding pessimistic but your education might add upto 16 years but it is not progressive 16 years as required for a bachelors program, most of it is redundant. your +2 (12th grade) and diploma are overlapping. Your +1 is completely tangential to your course work. It is same as some one doing 1st year courses for 3 different strems example 1st year Science , 1st year arts and 1st year commerce and then claiming he has equivalent of 3 years bachelors course work completed and so he be awarded a bachelors degree.
Please dont feel bad. I do not want to give you any false hopes. Please consult some proffessional evaluators to check if there is a way they can make your education sound progressive but looking at USCIS response you pasted they have evaluated your diploma and cannot accept it as equivalent to degree program
I dont know who will pay for the MTR + refiling in case your employer is going to shoulder these expenses then there is really no harm in trying but if it is you who has to pay for appeals then my friend it will be better if you consult education evaluators and some other lawyers like Murthy, Khanna to get a second opinion before you embark on this long and costly journey.

To begin with let me say that I have earned my masters from the US but still I'm not in favor of this idea simply because getting a masters from the US does in no way prove that US needs us more than others (in light of EB law), or we are any smarter or more capable than people who did masters or even under grad from their home country..
Besides this will further divide the community which as is divided.
Just my 2 cents.
Is this still an active topic? or its dead? Are there people with US Master - STEM who are willing to come forward?
I am just trying to gauge this? To me, looks perfect candidate for piece meal while waiting for CIR, justification could be same as 20K quota for H1b, keep US educated in the country and keep contributing to US economy & society. It has two benefits, a) direct to people who have US Master, b) there will xx less number of people in front of who don't qualify for this so their turn will come sooner.
any leads?

It is evident to anyone following this thread who hijacked it. I was only responding to the OP when you came here with your crappy comments about how people should not enforce personal morals on drug traffickers.
Why don't you explain to everyone how is telling the OP that we do not condone taking or selling drugs something of a personal opinion?
If your next post does not address the issue, then we all know who the real immature person is. Unless you have an answer, I will consider this case closed.
I am not answerable to an anonymous "internet toughie" who picks up fights on forums. it's evident that your understanding of the tonality in a professional response vis a vis a personal one is impaired albeit imponderable.
I shall not waste my time "coaching" the same.
[B]"then we all know who the real immature person is"
After your fiasco with Kumar, doesn't this whole forum apart from a few thousand scandalized visitors know who really enthrones "immaturity" here?
With this i end my diatribe with you mr internet toughie aka sledgehammer. lol

I dont think DOS will do any spillover, if by a miracle they do a quarterly spillover it can happen only in december, The whole idea of spillover is if there are any leftover visas they have to use it by the end of the year (i.e spetember 30) or if they do quarterly spillover as the law says then they have to do it by the end of the quarter i.e Dec 31, march 31, June 30.
If the eb2 does not move to atleast march 2005 then it means DOS is not doing quarterly spillover.
Hydboy, you make a good point. Does anyone know if this is how USCIS would do a Qtrly Spillover if they do it ? And do they have to make the EB2-I and EB2-C dates the same before they do a spill over like they do it for the yearly?

Well if the system were fair, it wouldn't say x pending ROW, it would be like x pending eb3 and y pending eb2. Yes, there are a lot of applications from India, it is a large country! But why should it be relevant in EB based processing?
Did you choose the country you would be born in, or is somehow one's skillset dependent on national origin?
Like it or not, USA want diversity;), they not want to be a second Indian, Asian, Mexican, African, European etc country.
And one way to try to manage this is by country limits.

Actually, the numbersusa website makes mention of SA 2143 (John Cornyn) of HR 1585,(currently being debated) which according to them allows for recapture of unused EB visas from 1996 and 1997.
Dont know if it is true or not, they are encouraging their folks to lobby against it.

Ok, I've seen a lot of threads about go to the rally, actions items, I've reading a lot of guys saying dont ask for your receipt status, dont waste your time etc, etc.
Yes we did the rally we were great with all those signs, and appearing in the Indy TV but...
Question remains open:
1. When are they going to increase the GC quota?
2. When congress id going to do something?
I've the feeling that that's it we made our point but we are still with no GC, waiting receipts..............

I saw this many times, he call some indian guy for interview on h1b's and out sourcing then he ask questions and then he olny answer to those questions and he never give that person a chance to explain, and he says thank you for being here we got something more imp need to cover that is Paris Hilton got out of jail partying again............b****d
I think we should go after him. Every time he calls us cheap labor. He opposes employment based green cards as well as H1b. In a sense , he hates Indians.
He fuels the rumors against our cause. See his video below :-

Everyone who opposes High Skilled Immigration is his friend. So I don't see any reason to refrain from going after this retarded soul. Expose him, blog against him. Take off his cover and let the world know , what a big communist liar he is.

Looking at the movement of dates for EB3, esp India and China, it's hard to be optimistic of any changes. It's a very wretched position to be in for Indian and Chinese nationality, if they're in EB3. All those who are eligible to port will definitely try to port to EB2 as long as it's available and cut their waiting time. It might be risky and unpredictable, but it's a risk worth taking considering the endless torture in the form of a long wait and zero or little forward movement of dates.
There've been times when I've felt like attempting porting, but am not sure of the reaction of my employer - a big "reputed" company. If they revoke the I-140 in retaliation for using AC-21, then no chance of porting and back to square one. So it's the seemingly endless wait for me just like all others suffering from 2001 onwards. If only I'd not hesitated to take a bold step back in 2003. Too late to lament about that though.
It was very hard to see at least 3-4 of my friends working in very reputed, established companies, not some tinpot startups (I'm almost tempted to name the companies) using labor Sub. And all of them have got their green cards comfortably. Every single one of them.
Their managers pushed for labors subs for them and nobody even objected because it was legal!
And to my best knowledge, my current company didn't do any subs (perhaps because they didn't have layoffs during dot com bust) so I see senior employees in my company badly stuck with EB3. In fact, there are EB3 managers hopelessly stuck whose EB2 employees are in a better position than them. I'm NOT making this up.
Unless you take risks, you won't progress. Calculate your risks and take it. My friend, 2003 is an old PD and you have been stuck for long. You deserve a better deal and a more senior job profile. I agree completely with folks though, that allowing people to retain the old PD is unfair to others waiting and USCIS should grant some intermediate PD. But take it from me, all kinds of unfair practices have been happening. A classic example is July 07.
