WAIT_FOR_EVER_GC
09-01 03:24 PM
Glad to see there are people like me on this thread. I came to the US in FEB 1995 as an undergrad. I have an MS today and dropped out of the PHD program (2000) to find a job because of recessions. Survived 3 top-notch companies, recessions, despicable back-stabbing coworkers, unethical and unworkable environment, lay-offs, legal dept messing up my H1b application making me go on unpaid leave (~3wks) without health insurance, filing me under EB3 while applying EB2 for another coworker from a diff country with the same job title, etc etc....my rear end is pretty soar these days and I am beginning to question all this....
i usually dont post much...but I couldnt resist this thread
It will take another 9-10 years to get your GC if the system remains the same.
Please upgrade to EB2

Visa Allotment or Assigning of Visas by USCIS - I cannot digest the assumption that USCIS/DOS/DOL are fools and there is no coordination among them to know who from which country has applied for GC under which category. These Govt. agencies are so efficient that they can even go through these forums and connect IDs here to applications. It is a piece of cake for them to find out the entire background of an applicant as soon as even the LC is filed. They very well know who is stuck with which employer in which state and what stage and to whom they are approving the GCs. If the employers are Americans, they can even call the DOL and ask them to hold the LC approval because they know that once their employees get their GCs they will quit them.
I am not trying to be negative and pessimistic, but please think about the chances of immigrants sueing these Govt. agencies during any of the stages in GC process and winning the lawsuit. And ofcourse, the immigration lawyers are too happy with the retrogressions and the way the immigration system works in this country.
Hi,
This issue was discussed in detail in Ombudsman report in 2006. Please look from page 29 which gives detail description of the inability to give accurate numbers and communicate effectively between USCIS and DOS.
It clearly states that DOS was unable to determin exact numbers and could not co-ordinate with DOL / USCIS regarding cut-off date, by country numbers and also the total number of cards issued resulting in not all allocated numbers are approved as well.
Thanks

Learning01,
There is too much curbing of free speech, you admins are taking a heavy handed approach to discussions. Deleting posts at will, diverting topics at whims and fancies...
Let there be discussins, there is nothing wrong in floating ideas.. allow members to express. Not every idea needs to be implemented.
This sort of arrogance is not going help anybody's cause.
Just my two cents...
All these are good for chit chat any way. If we had the clout to implement laws that were based on figments of our imaginations, we probably would not be in line for a green card. Nothing wrong with ideas, except the potential for implementation of the amendment needs to go through IV core team and then sent across to any senators or the USCIS. We don�t want to look foolish be ridiculed for visionary ideas that will not see the light of the day.

On a serious note: Our situation is not comparable with Independence War, we will not die if we don’t have GC, we all are doing Well/Good/Okay but our lives could be lot better if we have GC by NOW, not X years from now, we need it NOW. But seems to be we have made compromise with the situation and one way or other we are floating with our lives. Initiatives like Hunger Strike may not work well but some sort of Flower Campaign/similar initiatives may work well. Monthly donation seems to be upsetting because they can’t tie it straight with outcomes, its hard to keep people on the hook for long, everybody is expecting it to happen sooner and Lobbying works slowly, it’s the reality.

When do you think would EB2-I hit Feb 2005? Before this year end?
Perhaps not. With many I140 getting approved, there are always chances of dates going back instead of moving forward.
I can think of average movement of one or two months moving forward per quarter. The two bills in pipeline can ease this situation:
1. Removing country quota
2. Recapturing of unallocated GC Visas

I was hoping to get a 2 year EAD, but I am wrong now. Make the VB current, issue 1 year EAD and then retrogress. What a brain!!!

Kennedy, Clinton voted against this... I dont know what they are thinking..
What is the proportion of potential illegal vote base to the legal vote base? They are pandering to the Hispanic vote bank.
Like all, H1B increase was also involved in the killer. :(
Wrote a strong email protest to USINPAC for their failure in trying to lobby for passage of the bill. :mad:

[I posted this comment at another thread a few minutes ago. For a wider read I am also posting here]
Newt said Nothing is going to happen on this Specter or any other immigration bills in Senate. The conference with House will not agree to anything.
I also sincerely believe that Nothing is going to happen I say, these senators are doing CYAs; they will bitch it to media, their constituents, hey look, we did attempt these immigration reforms.
I am talking from my long experience and wisdom and take it from me. The only force that can improve the pitiable conditions of Indian and Chinese due to retrogression and lack of visa numbers is the big corporate employers . Each one whose LC is approved, whose I-140 is approved, who is waiting to file for adjustment of status AND who are indispensable to the employer / work at this stage should write to the HR/ Immigration/ Attorney.
I am in such a position. I am a technical lead in my IT department. PD Nov 2001. I write about these issues and the difficulties once in a month my team manager, or project manager or Immigration department.

Well, so far so good for me. As per Zillow estimate, my home value is now 10k more than my purchase price. It depends on where you're buying.
I guess that when the economy starts climbing up and people starts buying houses, interest rate will also climb up to 6%. At 6%, I need to pay $400 more per month.
If you check interest rate trends for the last 50 years, You will notice that during every economic downturn which is every 5-7 years the interest rates do come down. Although this time the down is a bit more due to severe recession, If you notice even in the last downturn around 2002 was in the 5% range. So only buying a house on the basis of low interest rate may not be prudent.
http://mortgage-x.com/trends.htm
One month is a small time span to check the value. If lets say one year from now your house loses value by 6%, The money you would save by taking a 6% loan on a lower principal will be higher than the lower interest rate on a 6% higher principal you pay now. You can always refinance again during the next downturn when the rates may again go down. But you cannot change the original principal at what you bought the home.
So My point is the original principal you pay to buy the home should be a more important factor in buying a home than the low interest rate.
I think you must have considered everything and made a smart choice, and this is not pointing at you. This is just a data point for others who haven't bought yet to consider.

Well, I had a Infopass last week to check on a Soft LUD on my I-140, I heard slightly different story, they did not say adjudicating the EB application, but Process the EB application, which I guess what they were saying is pre-adjudicating the cases, in the last few weeks with lot of cases being transferred (both EB2/EB3) to different offices, pre-adjudicating the cases makes sense....but hey, we are talking about USCIS here, we never know, whatever you heard could be true too......
One piece of information that made me happy reading your comment was "a directive from the DHS/USCIS that they want to separate the legal stuff from the illegal stuff", this is good news.....but wondering what does legal/illegal mean to USCIS anyway......and how does it help us from retrogression point of view??
What is LUD
