No - I am not suggesting that!!
What I am suggesting is that the right time to take this up is when a recession is not in full swing. Between 2004 (when this law was enacted) and 2007 was a great time to pick this battle. Maybe another year down the line would also be a great time to pick it. Picking up this particular battle right now would probably make YOUR and MY lives much more difficult in the medium term.
Like you and the OP - I am a selfish individual. I will pick up only those fights which are in my interest. I believe that this particular fight is a lose-lose proposition in the current climate. I am disputing your (and OPs) belief that this will be beneficial for you/me/rest of us.
Lets take the example of the same Goldman Sachs manager. Tomorrow ICE comes to him and says you need to get rid of these 50 guys under you. What will he do? He cant increase the budget in the current environment. So he probably will hire a couple of GC holders/Citizens and replaces the whole division (with 50 GC/Citizens besides the 50 'violators') with an offshore team.
Think about it!!
Now is the time when everybody is thinking in terms of cost cutting. If you create costly disruptions now - then either the company becomes GM and lose out to overseas competitors or migrates the eitire division out.
Your reasoning is weak. If the same Goldman manager wants to screw you - he won't see if it is recession or not - he will screw you - period.
What happens with ICE and goldman is an issue they sort it out. If his budget is tight - he will figure out a way.
As far as jobs are concerned - there is no gaurantee that the best and brightest is always in jobs or those who suck up always have jobs - YOU are responsible on how you choose and carve your career

I am not sure what is happening. When I went to USCIS during Infopass, the officer at the time told me that my case will be looked upon when the notice date comes up.
MY priority date is april25 2006 and the notice date was 09/18/2007. I didn't believe him. Even I raised the question in one of the forums and other guys shot me down saying the notice date is not important. But now I got an LUD on 09/19/2007 and that was the reason why I raised this question to you as well as HIINVIN66. I am assuming that the applications are looked upon based on the notice dates. If they under EB2, pre adjudcated and visa numbers availaible, MAY BE MAYBE we get green cards. IF not, We have to keep our fingers crossed. Let see what happens.....

To find immigrant community everywhere.. at your workplace, at grocery stores, cinema halls, places of worship, where else?
Lets find them and inform them and CONVINCE them of the importance of doing this.
Lets offer to make it easy for them by having printed letters ready for signature + name + address.
We have only 4 weekends to get it done. In my past experience, you will need an hour to yield an output of about 10 - 15 letters. Plan and be prepared.
If you get a friend to go with you, it will be great, but if not, then plan yourself and execute. I had done this for our signature campaign prior to the rally and I will do it again!

I think the question though genuine and points to the fundamental flaw in the system but is irrelevant to the point of discussion here.
The whole point is that the incentive for porting has been taken away by making computer information manger a Job Zone 4. In addition, additional scrutny will weed out any fraud.
I need to read up on the new zones implementation.
But if you may, please answer this question: If one wants to change jobs within the same company to a new job that falls in the same zone as his current one, can he do that without a new LCA?
The new job is in the same building/region; just some additional responsibility and would be in a different group than the present one.

If you dont have PR, the rateyou pay is higher. Some deny loans as well.
I am on H1/EAD and own a home. Lenders don't deny you a loan solely based on your visa status. Some think its too risky to own a home before getting a green card. I think this is a personal choice you make based on your comfort level. IMHO, we should keep the home ownership out of this. If we include things that are simply not true, it will only make our letter(s) less credible.

I do see 1)Success with July 07 fiasco 2)2 year EAD
We should have a link(In Home Page) to a achievements page(which we have to keep updating we achieve something) which just briefly mentions IV's achievements.
If it is already there someone please post the link here.

I thought each EB category could get upto 28.6% of 140000 = 40000 visas every fiscal year. So if EB1 uses up 5000 and EB2 takes the remaining 35000 and its annual allotment of 40000, EB3 does not get any spillover.
Thoughts?
knacath, I am hoping that EB2 will be current this year and EB3 begins to get spillover though very little this year.
Some more specifics
Annual Quota ------------------------------------------------------------------------> 140,000
Pending EB1, EB4, EB5----------------------------------------------------------------> 7,653
Estimate of all categories current applied this year and approved this year -----> 10,000
Remaining visas -----------------------------------------------------------------------> 122,347
All pending EB2s (includes retrogressed) -------------------------------------------> 74932
Remaining visas available to EB3(includes retrogressed) --------------------------> 47415
The only flaw in above is ignoring CP and assuming all 140K Quota to AOS. The majority of EB1, EB2 and EB3 are AOS. So I am safely ignoring CP. Even if CP is 15% of annual quota as some one put it, EB3 gets its allocated 40K quota and around 65K pending EB2s get out of queue.

1. In the draft letter to president, the line "Reinstate premium processing of
Immigrant Petitions." is a bit ambigous and dosent specify which petition.
Shouldnt it read "Reinstate premium processing of I-140 Immigrant Petitions."
People to whom this petition is going know that the Immigrant Petition implies I-140 petition. We do not want our letter to read like an alphabet soup.
2. Also shouldnt the goals be in the order of ease of acheivability. Many of the
more difficult (though more powerful) goals are at the top wheras items like
reinstating I-140 premium proessing are at the bottom.
What do you folks think..?
You really cannot determine the achievable factor of a goal on a scale of 1 to 100 so that ordering is moot. In fact, there is some merit in keeping our most ambitious goals upfront - with enough support from the community we might just achieve them.

Of the additional visa numbers available after EB3 ROW uses it, max how many can be allocated to India and China EB2 is the question.......? Can someone answer this based on the max limit per country and per category???
Spill over does not have any country limit. they will allocate it untill it becomes current or numbers running out.

Thanks gcnirvana.
I have a copy of my approved I-140, and the only number I see on it is Receipt Number at the top left side of the notice. It reads like LIN-xx-xxx-xxxxx.
Is this the A# number you are referring to?
That is your receipt number. In my case, the A# is in the box that has the name of the beneficiary.

We are running a small funding drive as a gesture of support IV for answering each other's questions in times of need.
If your question is answered by a fellow member, do make a point to contribute some amount. It will help continue this effort.
We understand everyone is busy with I485 filing and have put everything on hold. But we have not put our efforts on hold in the interest of this communty and this cause. Core is working on this issue despite being busy on their own I485 filing.
We are also working with our lobbyists on CIR and as soon as there is an action item we will post it on the forum for all to participate.
At this time, do take out a couple of minutes off your busy schedule with I485 filing and contribute towards Immigrationvoice.
Thanks

If you had followed the thread most people are suggesting to avoid this place rather than to fight them. Don't you get that point ?
How is charging different amounts for the same kind of visa and refusing to correct the mistake OP's personal responsibility ?
Correct. We need to boycott them when they become unreasonable. A great man once moved an entire nation to do just that for a much greater purpose and it delivered results just over 60 years ago.
In a global world, if they choose to remain racist, ignorant and unreasonable, then my $ goes elsewhere. Vote with your wallets and boycott these Brits.

they are RD's not PD's
IF they were PD's we shouldnot be seeing anything after Jul 2007 [as those were the farthest PD's ever reached].
Seems logical, but on the other hand if that were to be the case, then why isn't there a spike in June-July '07 to reflect the deluge of 485 filings?

Dear Mr. <insert ombudsman's name here>,
SUB: Visa allocation for employment based third preference workers
I am one of the thousands of employment based third category worker waiting for the priority dates to be current since many years. As you must be well aware that the backlog for EB3 category, and in particular for the Indian chargeability category has been lagging behind by almost 7 years, part of which is due to heavy subscription for the category.
All through the years, heavy demand in EB3 category was in part alleviated by the spill-over visas from other categories. This was mainly due to unused visas in employment based first category, and to a lesser extent from employment based second category. For FY2008, the long standing spill-over utilization rules seems to have been changed, resulting in a drastic reduction of visas available to EB3 category.
While I am not aware of an official guidance or a memo that details the impetus behind the change, it is widely accepted in the immigrant community that AC21 legislation played a major role in the change of rules.
The immigrant community is confused by this new reading as the confluence of AC21 along with pre-existing legislations does not make the spill-over of EB1 into EB3 disappear. AC21 legislations clarifies that the visa numbers in one category must have no consumers within the same category before it be released for use by other category. That is any number within EB2 will not be granted to EB3 unless there is no demand with EB2 for that number [Do we need this additional clarification?].
Spill-over from EB1 is dictated by the original text of section <$insert section here>, which seems to state that both Eb2 and EB3 should simultaneously benefit from the additional numbers. This reading is supported by the hypothesis that the EB5 spill-over which is mentioned in EB1 has not further mention in EB2 or EB3, but still the numbers from EB5 spills further down into EB2 and EB3 when Eb1 does not fully utilize the numbers.
Furthermore, in the Visa bulletin for July 2008, it is mentioned that the spill-over numbers are required to be assigned to the longest pending case first. I assume, though not explicitly stated, that this assumes per-country caps to be reached first.
Given the current trend in the priority dates for EB3, it is very clear that the spill-over from EB1 is being denied for EB3 preference, and this is causing tremendous hardships to people who have been waiting for long periods of time. I am sure that you agree that waiting for 7 years for a green card is extremely unfortunate.
I hope you to hear back about your views on the spill-over allocation, and hopefully see some action that will alter the spill-over rules to allocate unused EB1 numbers to alleviate the wait times being seen by employment based third preference workers.
Thanking you,
Sincerely
