can you please tell me the source of these stats? Per the DOL stats, from March 2005 to March 2007 only 130K total cases were approved:
http://www.shusterman.com/pdf/permstats407.pdf
Your stats are almost twice that number!
Those are not Labor approvals, those are Green Card approvals.

If DOS continues with this interpretation of spillover then there is a very small (tiny) window coming up in third quarter of FY 2010 (Apr'2010) where we might see some spillover to EB3. Here is how:
Currently there are total 4050 (EB1) + 74932 (EB2) = 78982. These are mostly pre-adjudicated and waiting for VISA numbers.
Total allocation for new FY is 140K out of which 40K (28.6%) will go to EB3. So EB1 and EB2 will have 100K left but their total demand is only 78982. So these 21K numbers will be left which will be used for new applications recieved under EB2 category.
When PD for EB2-I/C moves forward, there will be more applications coming in because many EB2-I/C people have their labor approved and they are waiting to file their I-485. However, when these new applications comes in, they are NOT processed yet and their background check is not clear yet. So even if visa numbers are available for them, they are not ready to be approved.
So at this time we poor EB3 people can hope some mercy from DOS and we hope that DOS might spill those remaining 21K numbers to EB3 so we don't waste any numbers while USCIS is adjudicating those newly recd applications under EB2.
If this 21K spillover happens then we EB3-I have to hope for another mercy from DOS that they give these 21K spillover numbers strictly based on Priority dates in EB3 and not based on EB3-ROW first and then EB3-C and then EB3-M/P and then EB3-I. We expect DOS to give these spillover based on PD and not based on country of chargeability. If that happens then all these numbers will go to EB3-I and we might see it moving to 2003.
And this is a fair expectation from DOS that they give spillover numbers based on PD because that is what they are doing in EB2-. When EB2-ROW numbers goes to EB2-I and EB2-C they go based on PD and hence EB2-I gets most of the numbers.
My two cents. Please post your comments on my theory.
If we all EB3 agrees to above theory then we should seek help from IV to make sure that spillover to EB3 happens based on PD whenever it happens.
Thanks.

With this attitude and arrogance, I rarely think there would be motivation for anyone to do anything for IV.
I started discussion by asking , how can IV convince me that my donation is going to help, I got shot down by ARROGANT ******** and got all reds as if I care. I was planning on a charity/donation drive of my own to get some money for IV.
Know lot of consultants, who really dont know what to do with their miles with every one a executive airline status.
Already have 10+ people pledging Poker tournament from my poker group with their miles for Airlines and hotels. We are talking of a Million AA miles.
Indian restaurants(s) having a Immigration week where a dollar of each bill be given to IV.
I was even thinking of standing at Indian stores in Dallas to ask people to consider for IV cause, as long as I believed and hence was asking.
I was just getting started with so many ideas for my free time.
Good luck in what ever you do guys. Note that GC is not everything and note that I am still on extended H1, family on H1 and EAD never helped me. so assumption that EAD helped my life is baseless. All these hypocrites are long gone from IV once they get GC. All we get is response that Mr X or Y , even after getting GC, is working fro cause. How can I believe.
Any organization can be successful if there are questions answered and not shot down. Just working at DC doesnt make some one a strong contributor for IV.Work at grass root level is so imp. What I have noticed is any one who went to DC has become headstrong, egoist and arrogant as if they own IV.
Please read my initial post before commenting. I always said, I am for IV cause. just convince me so that I can convince some one

stop this stupidity please
far as i know we did not write the letter.
all we did was send flowers to let people know we were screwed over.
if you don't even want to do that...
hey it's ok to roll over and play dead. but you can do that without bothering to come here, can't you?
iv has not raised any security related issues as a policy. we have not denigrated uscis for working efficiently either. all we asked was to honor the july bulletin.
so what stupidity should be stop dear kramer?

Please confirm availability those who can
Ok Chintu, it works for me as I am also in EST time zone, is it 9.30 AM / PM ? I will be online most of the time, you can ping me any time.. ( I will leave IV Browser open.. ) thanks and regards - Ramki.

I want to add 'Family and Relatives pressure' in addition to 'Peer Pressure'. When I visited India lasttime, I was asked by almost all the relatives if We had bought a house. It has become an indication if we are doing well (earning well). After a while, i felt little bit uneasy to say that we did not buy house while many of our cousins already did. thats family pressure.
Other than for monetary reasons, there is a small group of people, who do not buy house even if they can afford to and live in apartments
- still not decided where to settle down,
- want to move to warm place, but just not yet due to job,
- think it is lonely to live in a big house with unfamiliar neighbors.
- have small kids, takes lot of time to meet their needs after work, daycare. cannot take the burden of maintaining a big house.

Peer pressure
Lets take fictitious families R & S living in the same rented community with similar back ground. Mr and Mrs R decide to buy a home and they buy one. Mr S does not think it is right for them to do so. How ever, Mrs S pressures Mr S into doing so. Believe me this happens all the time.

Bill Text - 112th Congress (2011-2012) - THOMAS (Library of Congress) (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c112:H.R.43:)
That link has the complete text. Relatively simple text. Includes those who have completed degree in last 5 years or those who have resided in the US since obtaining a degree.
Only one constrain. Requires that "will substantially benefit prospectively the national economy of the United States". The second part is something which is fuzzy and not sure how USCIS will interpret it. They might apply the logic of EB2-NIW. However, in either case, it is adding numbers of EB categories and hopefully rest of the bill is allowing for these numbers to fall across and down.
If the applicant has completed masters degree in U.S. after filing Labor /485, does he get benefited with this bill ?
Thanks,

Yes, You are right.
who ever file in EB2 category, they are auditing and asking too many details like, business necessity, previous employee exp if it is re filling the position, recruitment report (paper advertisement, dates, intranet advirtisement details what not)...
so as of now we can't say that they are targeting only IT people.

Lalitha,
If your employer comes under the cap exempt category (non-profit, educational institutions) then your H1 will be approved with immediate effect and you can start working as soon as you receive the approval notice. Otherwise, your H1 will be approved with a start date of Oct 1st. In this case, you cant work until that date.

One of IVs priorities has been to have a uniform skills based system like other developed countries Eg. Canada.
members are welcome to join in that initiative as weel and suggest ideas.
I'm actually preparing a doc for a way to fairly convert people from EB to a points based skills system. This would also eliminate country based quotas as a side effect.
The CIR in 2007 had a similar proposal, but they did not compensate those already in EB queues.
There is a post from logiclife arguing against the points system back in 2007 (I will find that and post it here). Since when did IV change the strategy to go with the "points system"? The simple argument against the points system is that Government (and NOT the employer) decides who is qualifed in a points based system as against the current system which only allows qualified people with a job and being inside the U.S, to apply and get GC (as against the points system which can be from anywhere in the world).
The current system can be and should be fixed instead of moving to the points based system. For instance, remove the per country quota, allow a non-immigrant visa to be converted into an immigrant visa by an employee without going thru the labor and I-140 after a certain amount of time (3-5 years) which takes away the hold of the employer on your GC process, increase the EB numbers etc.

No one is going to waste time in convincing you. If you are not convinced but you think green card is an important issue, then start your own organization, spend your money, provide customer service and convince others, like the way you want others to convince you. Maybe you will do a better job.
The $1/bill in Indian restaurant is the most foolish of all the ideas. Indian restaurants don't let waiters/servers take $1 tip, you think you can let them raise $1 for you? A great soul said - Be the change you want to see in the world. Why don't you start your organization and do the things you are telling others to do for you? That way you will not have to read this forum or reply to posts you don't seem to like.

Well that would be an option make H1b portable.
But then most consulting companies will not hire H1B's because it won't be cost effective.
Anyway just by checking most of this consulting firms businesses they will be able to uncover all the fraud.
It's very unethical to make you lie on your resume and then try to market you to an employer with fake experience, also nobody has responded to my comment. Real Companies like PWC, IBM pay you while you're on bench, while this indian consulting companies break the law by not doing that.
Hmm, being an Ex-IBM Employee and for the record, let me tell you something. As long as one can charge his or her time to a billable project, no one cares. Otherwise, all you get is a grace period of 2 paychecks to prove the worth of employment. I'm telling you this truth with a verifiable employment history of more than 8 years in USA.
My friend, all that matters is how much revenue one can generate. Just doesn't matter whether you are working for Big5 or small and tiny consulting companies.
Challenge me if i'm wrong
