No one can realistically claim a moral high ground here - neither EB2 nor EB3. and that includes me too! Each one of us here are looking for self interest, period. No amount of calls to empathy/sympathy/solidarity will change that.
For example, I'll get behind the whole "restore the old overflow logic for EB3" campaign in a heartbeat if we can have a consensus that EB3 will share the resulting overflow with EB3 other workers category too. EB3 other workers category is typically in worse shape than EB3-I so all the arguments presented here for EB3 (length of wait and frustration, unfairness of it all etc.) apply equally or more to the EB3 other workers. Any takers for this proposal?
So please see all this for what it is and stop the endless debate. You can not realistically expect EB2s to support any campaign that directly harm their interests. EB3s of course have every right to run whatever campaign they wish but also accept that it *will* split active IV membership (rare as it is) along those lines vertically. That's why the calls to stick to "common minimum program" of visa re-capture. Only those campaigns that don't have conflict of interests will be able to draw whole IV membership behind them. It's human nature - plain and simple.
Agreed. The resource(Visa numbers) is fixed and scarce. so it is natural that everyone will fight with whatever they can to access them , unless the resource is expanded (Recapture)
EB3-I will be foolish to expect EB2-I's to help them out .
IMO, IV has sensed this and maintained a dignified silence . They really cannot take a position on this and still function as objective forum .
I think none of us should force them either ...IV has larger objective of increasing the pie and we should all support it.
Where i disagree is why should EB3-I lobbying should split IV . I see no reason in that.

you will not get anything before it's time comes and if it is beyond your destiny/luck
I was never a fatalist but the GC process made me one... to a certain extent... Came to US in 96 as a student... First PD 1999... layoff in 2001... 2nd PD 2002... company shut down... 3rd PD 2003... PD cleared 7 days after 2005 retro! That was the worst period and I was so frustrated at the time!June 1st 07 filer... Was waiting for FP, EAD forever. Finally on sept 13th I had my FP and sept 17th my GC... just like that... no LUD, EAD, AP nothing... directly GC in the mail... I guess it was just my time! Looking back I think I am glad I concentrated on the positives that were going on in my life... thats pretty much the only thing one can do to aviod frustration... IV is a great organization and hopefully their efforts will bring fruits! Meanwhile good luck to u!

If Microsoft with all the money and power can't get visa increase, it's naive to assume that we can do that in one shot. Let's just fry the small fish first.
Well said actually!
From the past couple of years and efforts it is VERY clear that any kind of Quota Increase is a BIG no no with the Anti-immigrants. This now divides the IV users into 3 groups
1) This group has already applied for the I-485 a Long time ago but has not seen their GC in the mail yet.
2) This group has not been able to file for I-485 coz of retrogression.
3) This group is stuck in Labour Certification stage and cant do anything about it.
How about for starters if we try and alleviate the pain of people in groups 2 and 3, i.e. ask for people to be able to apply for stage 3 (and ead etc) without the PD mess. For the labour people we ask for a similar benefit. As for group one, well i know that you guys do not benefit under this, but consider this, you are already in a much better situation than the rest of 2 groups. I know you have to go for fingerprinting etc and renew the EAD every year, but consider this: People stuck in LC and stage 2 have to spend much more on renewing H1/H4s coz of lawyer fees. Maybe, if we reduced our demands to asking for 3 things
a) Filing for stage 3 regardless of PD
b) Relief for people in the LC mess
c) Fingerprinting one person just Once (i mean fingerprints dont change do they?)
This might go under the radar as no quota increase is being asked for. I know this point has been discussed ad-infinitum before and we concluded that no more band-aids for the immigration process, let us get a permanent solution. Well permanent solutions take their time, especially with a Much more powerful lobby opposing those changes. For all we know this permanent solution may NEVER go through. Lets face the facts here:
1) The big corps are pushing ONLY for H1B increase.
2) Anti-immigrants are opposed to ANY kind of increase in numbers.
3) Currently the political climate is such that it is either, deal with legals AND illegals or nothing at all.
4) Currently FAR bigger problems stand in front of the lawmakers such as the war, stem cell, abortion etc etc etc.
5) Currently the average American is OPPOSED to even legal immigrants for fear of losing their jobs to them.
In light of all this, does it make sense to go for a Comprehensive Permanent solution or does it make sense to ask for smaller tid-bits and treat the other costs we incur as "costs of doing business"? I mean atleast if the husband and wife Both have H1bs and jobs, you will still be making a ton of money. U use things like approved I-140s to switch jobs with 3 year extensions or u use the EADs. Let us seriously think about this solution.

Section 245.1 (g)
(g) Availability of immigrant visas under section 245 and priority dates—(1) Availability of immigrant visas under section
245. An alien is ineligible for the benefits of section 245 of the Act unless an immigrant visa is immediately available to him or her at the time the application is filed. If the applicant is a preference alien, the current Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs Visa Bulletin will be consulted to determine whether an immigrant visa is immediately available. An immigrant visa is considered available for accepting and processing the application Form I–485 if the preference category applicant has a priority date on the waiting list which is earlier than the date shown in the Bulletin (or the Bulletin shows that numbers for visa applicants in his or her category are current), and (if the applicant is seeking status pursuant to section 203(b) of the Act) the applicant presents evidence that the appropriate petition filed on his or her behalf has been approved. An immigrant visa is also considered immediately available if the applicant establishes eligibility for the benefits of Public Law 101–238. Information concerning the immediate availability of an immigrant visa may be obtained at any Service office.
[Emphasis added for clarity]

We should tip the local and national TV channel to cover these by standing in front of the that building and see the kabloom FTD trucks pulling up there all day long constantly as if there is supplying of flowers to a cemetary.
Would be great.. but it will work only if enough people send those flowers! I suggest emailing your friends.. anyone who would listen! Persuade them to send those flowers!

got PM with the following quote.
Looking forward to have access to donar-thread on monday to find out the exact INA language that counts ebdependent in ebquota, that the PM refers to.
Have a good weekend.
The lawyer of simple1 is not correct. INA specifically has the language for counting all immigrants (including spouses and children) towards numerical limits, and, we have been working to include provisions to eliminate counting depents towards numerical limits. Doing such extra effort as mentioned in the first post of the thread is not going to be helpful. When there is a bill we should be pushing towards not counting dependents and it is more straightforward. That will take care of the backlog issues to some extent. Admin fixes do not change laws, so admin fix for this is not possible as some suggested

You are in this society for 35 years, so I'm not sure what's your objective of being on this forum...Anyway about your observation on Visa spill over, what you are saying is 180 different tha what other lawyers are saying, they are saying until 2007 DOS was reading the law differently so India was getting the spillover Visas, now they have started reading it differently hence India is not getting more than 7% Visas now, it is very obvious, from EB-3 India being in Oct-2001 for last 2 years, and EB-2 haven't seen any substantial movement either....Also you seems to be straying from the original intent of the thread...Very well written. I can tell you through my observations of living in this society for 35 years:
