My document uses similar method as used in 2007 USCIS Ombudsman report.
Here is the link to my document - link (http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=p_liYSUcqZRXA9OjuWUNRag&hl=en)
Similar table can be found in Ombudsman report - link (http://www.aila.org/content/fileviewer.aspx?docid=22650&linkid=162315) Look at Page 34 ( 52 / 145 )
The numbers in my report would be off by < +/- 50 visa's because I am using published data and Ombudsman uses internal DOS data.
The bottom line is EB limit has enjoyed spillover from unused FB visas and this year it is not going to happen. In the past we have been used to EB limits of 154K (2007), 163K (2008), this year we have to get used to the original limit 140K The movement of PD of various categories would take their own coarse based on USCIS interpretation of spillover between categories.
It would be great if members can update their profiles so that IV can do a better job of estimating the forward movement using the tracker.

To highlight other point of view and keep the debate balanced... It ain't rosy on the other side(India) either.
There is a severe shortage of highly skilled personnel in India too.
For those talents , salaries have gone through the roof. Add to that rupee has appreciated a whopping 11% this year...significantly compromising cost advantage.
attrition is a problem to get anything significant done . There are many stories of companies moving out of india due to attrition.
and for those outsourcing companies like wipro , infy etc where name of the game is pure staff augumentation/outsourcing ..... immigration issues will hit their business too.
Add to that all the peripheral issues with doing business in India ....poor infrastructure, cultural issues and overhead/risk of managing distributed teams etc ...
Pure outsourcing/staff augumentation business model employed by Indian bell weather IT companies is finally being challenged.
Simply put: There ain,t free lunch, anywhere.
IMO: Purely from career standpoint , getting a greencard and staying put in US, is still the best option by a distance.

This is called OBSSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER
Thanks doc for the prognosis. I have said this before and I will say it again that all this is USCIS fault. They are the ones who are taking 90 days to issue recipt notices. They are the ones who are not following FIFO in issuing recipt notices. They are the ones who said that they have processed all applications received before July 1 but have not cashed checks for my application which was mailed on June 11th.
On a lighter note what you are doing with those you tube videos is also OBSSESSIVE COMPULSIVE (DIS)ORDER except that it's for something good.

My friend, it is easy to say: "don't worry, be happy".
You seem indeed to be in a very enviable situation. Maybe many are like you.
Good for you guys. Now, think a little bit about the others.
I am sure that we are also many stuck in a job/company that we hate and the only practical way out is the GC. Sad and frustrating as it is, it is also the truth for many of us.

I never said you are working on %age basis. I know many H1Bs work on %age basis like independent contractors. This leads to benching and USCIS is trying to crack down on
that.
That is right. %age basis is not allowed on H1. In fact it is not the %age basis that causes the issue. Not paying on bench is the real issue.

I did search this with given phrase.. All the search results I see are directed to university websites.. primarily referring to I-20 validity. May be since universities are a little particular about status issues, informing the rules in advance.
In my wifes case, the company policy is not include on the payroll until the first project starts and after that they pay even on the bench. And so far no one (primary) was denied GC from her company. We didn't realize the problems earlier.. she was willing to work earlier.. but since all the clients were asking for SS#, they asked her to wait till she gets one. She soon got accepted by a F500 client, but since the director was on vacation, the the project didn't start till early june 06.. I was a little worried, so though my lawyer didn't ask, she asked her employer for an employment letter. We may be able to request additional letters if USCIS issues reasonable RFE from company. Well.. there is no point in discussing my case further except for stress relief..:(.. what ever happens happens.
LoL. You are such an idi***!

What will be the basis for emergency appointment ? I was strictly warned not to mention AOS as the basis for the request as it can seriously harm.
I just checked the Mumbai consulate website (I am assuming your wife is in India) and the earliest available appoitment for H4 is July 27th. Why cant she take that? All you have to do is reschedule.
There are also appointments for H4 for Aug 3,6,8,10. She shoudl reschedule her appointment.
Send me a PM if you need help with the appoitment website.

I understand that is not a reliable source of tracking approval pattern, however, this is the only tracker we have available and this gives us fairly good idea about USCIS processing.
Based on , there are about 1200 Approvals for EB-2 (Including ROW, India and China) since Oct01 2007.
However, there are only 450 approvals for EB-3 (Including ROW, India and China) sine Oct01'2007.
So howcome they ran out of EB3 numbers when there are very few approvals for this year. I was hoping they will run out of EB2 numbers instead.
Any insight on this?
Thanks.
The samples used are not a true representative of the actual EB2 or EB3 population.

I think he would want to see a locksmith to get the damaged "lever" rectified before he sees a doctor lest someone should compromise the lock and break in while he is away to see the doctor.
sorry i couldn't resist... all in the name of humor!:D
While a pray for your "lever"....i will suggest u see a doctor asap!!!
And I will also prescribe you channel all the pain into some positive energy by helping IV via contributions, volunteer work...and participatingin action items...all that is very rewarding!!! and will help you from going nuts, bananas and what have you!!

I spoke to a staff at Michael R. McNulty's office.
He comes to Albany on weekends only.
Rest of the time (5 days a week) he is in Washington.
We can meet staff members any time betwenn 9 to 5 (no appointment required).
Spoke to staff member at Schumer's office.
He is not available for a meeting.
Have set up a meeting (with staff) for 12th April 11am (nothing available for next 2 weeks).
I was actually just trying to find out if we could schedule an appointment with Schumer. Did not expect them to set up an appointment on the phone so fast.
We can change if this is not convenient.
I am not sure if this is gonna help, as it is 2 weeks away.
Please provide feedback.
I will go home and review what can be done, tonight. Great, lets coordinate on this.
Great we already have 4 members.

To be very specific, we need clarification on what the consequences are of leaving the sponsoring employer right after getting the GC esp people who never used AC21 and have been with the sponsoring company for several years before getting the GC.

Myself and Abhijit booked the flight in United from OAKLAND airport. As we are going to be in DC on Tuesday morning, this is the pretty decent flight with no-stop...We booked this thru www.kayak.com...
Mon, Sep 17, 2007 11:10 PM - OAK to IAD
Tue, Sep 18, 2007 6:52 PM - IAD to OAK
The price came ~$280
Guys what airline could one fly from San Jose? Which one have best connecting times so one can reach and leave at decent time? which airport is close?
Is there a Motel nearby at the relly start point, what time does the rally end, and what flight have people from CA booked for getting back?
:confused:
