Thanks, Andy. So, 80K LCs a year, 10%-15% of them will probably never get to AOS stage, 20% of those were duplicates (for people with petitions stuck in the backlog centers), so we are talking about 50-55K new labor certificates each year that will result in I-485. This is very consistent with 85K new capped H1Bs plus whatever number of exempt (non-profit research) H1Bs every year. So, we are talking about 100-110K total AOS applications (with dependents). Now lets take 140,000 EBs, substract Schedule A and EB1 (no need for LC), and there is probably 10K extra EB visas should be left over each year (quota less new potential EB petitions). Those are probably going to land in EB3 ROW. That means the retrogression will become less severe. What we are experiencing right now, is the rabbit that moves through the snake - the EB petitions resulting from a higher H1 cap several years ago.
Let us not also forget that current estimates are that there are 1.1 million applications pending at all stages of the green card process. Notwithstanding the new additions each year.
Not looking quite so quick still, I remain unconvinced that things will speed up.

Look at tax rate in this PDF
http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040nre.pdf
I believe that you will contribute about 5K to 401 K and if your employer also makes a contribution then that should take care of taxes. I guess the tax rate is roughly 10-15% as a non resident for low amount of money. I agree that patriot act may not allow you to keep accounts but 401 K is not a current account with easy access to funds.

I am assuming that EB2 India will have a cut-off date of atleast June 2006 for Aug as well as Sep. The time window of approvals is Aug 1 2008 to Sep 30 2008. In this time frame, they will have to pull the files from shelves and make them ready for adjudication.
I also remember from I-485 field SOP, that first step is to contact US Consulate abroad where you filled your DS-156 if you traveled within last 12 months for any discrepancy. This step itself can take a long time.
Then there are a lot of people who had PD current but they haven't done finger-printing yet. Imagine time required to schedule fingerprints, appear for one, and then get the results.
Just my thoughts.
This is any body's guess.
However , on the normal course you would think USCIS should start doing the Prep work like getting the files from ware house to production line as soon as they have the Visa bulletin is published.

"Democratic strategist from the centrist wing of the party, said in an interview before the news conference that prospects for the kind of broad immigration reform the president wants -- tough enforcement coupled with some kind of pathway to citizenship for long-time illegal immigrants -- may have improved with more Democrats elected to Congress."

I am sure the awareness and the seriousness was missing among the locals!!
Educate them , that more imp.. this has to be worked on!
One thought I have is.. if we register people with a minimum amount and reimburse them at the day of the rally, many will turn up..!
I know of cases where people agreed to show up but when the d-day came by.. not one ticked!!

Yes, I used to say like this five years back when I had time and age in my hand. I assume you are in early or mid 20's. I will put it differently for you.
Assume there is a big pond which starts from 1 feet and gradually increases up to 100 feet. People with one year work experience steps 0.5 feet. There are life jackets(GC) floating around the pool and whoever is lucky is picking it up. There are guys like me who are already in 5th-6th feet deep without finding the lifejacket, but we are sure if we go further, may be 3-4 feet more we WILL find it. There are guys who are lucky to find a life jacket at 1,2,3 feet also and happily float to the shore passing us. The fifth feet guy is practically seeing how the 6th and 7th feet guys are struggling. May be they are seeing some one in 8 feet to 10 feet. Now a big Tsunami (retrogression) comes and drags all the jackets 20 feet down further. These guys are dejected and some of these guys even pull their spouse/kids in one hand when they float/swim.
Dont forget, it takes one year to step 0.5 feet. Every year the pond management drops a fixed number of jackets. These guys keeps their hope alive based on the above fact. But these guys are seeing some kids passing in motorboat(LC Substitution) paying that guy 10K and getting a life jacket. Hmm pain, but even if I had a chance I would have also done it.
Now comes your saying. When the deepest s...t guys talks about their fate down the line and how to take their family safe ashore, a guy at 0.5/1 feet shouts saying "Dont give up, it is like deciding to take a sanyas because you are tired of dealing with social issues".
If you are in 5+ feet, I take your statment. Otherwise, you will not understand what I am trying to say until you reach 5+ feet without finding a life jacket and also pulling your family in one hand and seeing your seniors struggling more in 8+ feet. :)
NOTE: BTW, no offense. I thought to express what I am saying in different way. I understand what you meant. Cheers.
I am in my late 20's and am going to finish my 7th year next month...you decide how many feet of water I am in..:rolleyes: Meanwhile I totally understand your argument that the situation is the most frustrating for people who have been here the longest. I'd say sharpen you swimming skills and then it wouldn't matter how deep the water is or how tall you are....I's say stick with it and endure hardship if you value the end result (GC ofcourse). Even if you decide to go back...whatever your age/experience be...never forget its never too late..Gandhi was 46 years old when he returned to India from SA after spending 22 years there..Still wasn't too late for him to start a revolution now... or was it ?:)
May be you might also want to change your handle...GCby3000 doesn't sound that optimistic

I did not find this invalid. But the NSC update from last year also doenst say as how long it was valid. We really need to talk to an attorney.
As for me, I am going to file my I 485 by July 31st if I dont receive the reciept notice from USCIS. We can just show other proofs that it was more than 15 days that we filed our I 140.

I called the USCIS just now, and they told me that they can tell the receipt number to ONLY my attorney or my employer, provided its already in the system. I filed on July 5 ( NSC), and hasn't got the receipt number yet. There is only one person in my company to handle hundreds of GCs, and the person is very busy processing all these I-485s, and will not pick the phone for any enquiries, no reply for emails etc. so i am stuck! so i dont know whether they encashed the check or not!

you are half right, the country quota laws were put much earlier than the off shoring companies, but remember that the retrogression only started in the last 10 years when those companies came in the picture and skewed the lines .. that's ur cause and effect!
I am in software and would be satisfied with resticting this rule to the software field, but feasibility wise, rules won't get micro-tailored this way.
I always tell myself i shouldn't go on with the discussion, but here i go again..
any 12 step process to quit?
You're confusing the cause-and-effect. The country quota laws were put in MUCH earlier than any offshoring companies started doing H1s. It might in fact be the opposite, meaning that these companies are hiring qualified people who weren't getting GCs.
And besides these companies are all software cos that came up in the last 10 yrs, why should that stupid rule affect any person in a non-software field?
Yes we know that the current rules make the journey longer. The point is that it is unfair and that's why we should start trying to change it!
Basically it is very difficult to understand another person's pain. Especially when you're set up to gain from it.

some of you asked about repercussions of this sudden forward movement. i am not a lawyer or anything but I think the processing time for employment based 485 in Nebraska Center will move back from Aug 13, 2006 (
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC
).
I dunno... may be by a year I guess (again total speculation - I am not a lawyer or an USCIS expert).
also according to (http://www..com/usa-immigration-trackers/i485-graph) current processing times by recent approval dates seem to be between 250 to 350 days range (disclaimer: there are other ways to analyze this).

How can they issue EAD and AP approvals a day before for same 485 - What a crazy system ?

desi9333 thanks for the link. Nice one - even though it covers only Hiring practices, and not opportunities for promotions and progression.
The "Opportunity" usage has been explained much beyond Hiring in the other laws and related documents. Hence, an employee who subsequently faces discrimination because he/she cannot progress or misses on job advancements due to Visa limit restrictions is certainly being discriminated against.
Its my view and others can differ. I respect all opinions and am thankful to all because it helps improve my reasoning, mutual respect and tolerance abilities.
Back to the subject,
My earlier post on first page this thread has some action items - can anyone here take the lead and convince an attorney to take up the cause?
My cheque shall be sent as soon as the ball gets rolling.
The aim is not to convince an attorney. You can file a lawsuit for any reason and fight it. But the question is - Is the case strong enough?
In this case the case is not strong. IV has access to best attorneys and we have had discussions on this as well. The best way to change country limits discrimination is by changing the law.
