Your first post seemed asking only career wise successful folks who have patents/inovations and are affected by retrogression. I did write my story and then reread your first post, then thought to myself: my story is just similar to that Italian lady! The only thing different is she probably would have gotten her green card without much trouble, unlike my process.
Please let me know if you need ordinary story like mine, non-IT, mother and having been waiting for many years. Thanks.
I apologize for any miscommunication on my part.
Let me be very clear about what we are looking for
Your story about how you are affected by retrogression/back log etc. It could be as simple as 'I have a BS in Engineering and am stuck in back log for 2 years and cannot fulfil my dreams professionally' to 'I have a PhD in Nuclear Science and US needs me coz there are only a handful of us!' Anything and everything works.
I have literally recieved stories of stay at home moms (because of H4 they cannot work) to folks who have been interviewed by MIT! The whole spectrum helps.....please please send us your stories...we need all the weapons when we go face the senators on behalf of IV
As another fellow IV member who just sent me his story clearly mentioned, and I quote him
'Hope my story adds another spoke in the wheel. The thought of having to wait 2-3 or even more years just to be able to file the I-485 is damning. It's time to quit whining and do something about it. Want y'all to know that I'm available to help out in any way I can.'

What I am saying is just do not look into the issues that affects only you. Just be open minded. Show some sympathy to them. They were really affected. You do not have to fight all battles. you called that person Jealous which I did not like. if You do not like just ignore the post but do not call the names.
What is invalid and illogical ? Explain
Sir,
Here is why I am interested in this discussion.
1.> I am from india and retrogression affects indians, hence I wish my community can fight against this in a democratic civil way as I have always said.
2.> If ppl like you, who has no profile and who claims to have become US Citizen last week, comes here and fuels the fire to divide us - this is not going un-noticed.
3.> I feel that instead of crying over small # of LC subs, we fight for something where everyone gets benefitted. If we are successful in visa recapture or end of retrogression, everyone of us would get gc if eligible. what effect of lc sub would be there in that case?
4.> however if ppl like you come and make us fight among overselves, we reach no where. May be this is what you want. isn't it?
5.> if a person is slightly over-weight, and if he is detected to have 2 cancers also - what should he do? worry about cancer first or that extra 2 pounds of weight? similary in current situation, the lcsub is slight over weight compared to cancer like 'large unused visa numbers' and 'unfair country qouta'.
I want my community to be united and fight bigger problem first. This is my interest. I fail to understand yours.

My wife has the same problem and problem became apparent when she was in India in March to get H1 Visa stam. 3 years back when she got her first visa stamp, we had used Last name first name format in the application form. However this time the Embassy did not accept it, in the visa issued they stamped FNU (Family name Unknown) in the section marked Given name !!! and mentioned her Firstname, lastname in section marked Surname (Exact opposite to what is in her passport !!!!). When my wife pointed this out to embassy officials, they said it is the SOP in this situation and adviced her to correct the Passport.
As I understand, correcting the name in Passport should'nt take much time. Is'nt it same day service?

Your public profile says that you are at I-485 stage. You might want to correct it.

Ironic, this poll is skewed. So we have 40 people saying yes and obviously the other 1000 viewers want to pray. You might drop a 50$ donation in your place of worship for a guesstimate that GOD is taking care of you. But, you dont want to pay 25$ to get a good estimate of when your turn to get GC might be? It is worth every penny to get a little peak into the future so everyone lets get this done.

Let's get started on this push - it's a win-win solution for all concerned.
Attempts can be made to include the provision to file I-485 if priority date is not current (or make it such that it automatically applies... given this change).
jazz
Good one, Change to workflow should not be an issue, but we should have IV core support and reasonable to pool of money (not peanuts) to make this a success. I would recommend to run a funding drive, specially for this effort once IV core endorses this effort. In day to day life, Everything begins with $, you get what you pay for and nothing is free.

This is the sad reality. A lot of people applied using sub labor during the June and July fiasco. A lot of people made it through the July 15th deadline by atleast filing a 140 through sub labor.
Now USCIS is processing all these 140s and as they have old dates, they are becoming approvable.
As long as there are visas with old dates approvable - USICS will exhaust them. As long as USCIS exhausts old visas, DOS need not move the dates forward.

My 485 was filed at NSC and the ND is 03 Oct 2007. It was subsequently moved to TSC in Nov 2008.
So which date is it going to be: PD, ND, RD or Move date (MD) ????
As I read the thread above on the perennial point of contention PD or RD or ND.
Since I was contacting my local congressman and Senators...I got this feedback that my case is pre-adjudicated but waiting to have a visa number available....but I don't know who to trust...I am just not very hopeful and if 485 ND is the date they go by I have no chance and will miss this opportunity too.

I am in with a contribution.What if USCIS sees us as a Golden Duck and want another 10k after eating initial 5k.You know how government projects work?What will we do next?I am not undermining anyones initiatives,I always wanted to know how many applications are actually pending?May be better than doing nothing.I think some one was saying that citizenship information is not entered in the system.Nobody knows how that CLAIMS system looks like.We can see perm data fields on flcdatacenter.com, may be we should request on line version for CLAIMS system.with SOA capabilities it could be easily mapped in to easily readable frontend with minimal efforts.People can actually file 485 on line? Its not at all complicated.Govt contractors will make it look like a $100Million project.

UN from what I read he was out of status from Mar 2003 to Apr 2004. Pls correct me if I am wrong
Yes; he was out of status from March 2003. However; he had a valid I-94 card until February 2004. He didn't have a valid I-94 from February 2004 until april 2004.
once;he left and re-entered then the out of status time was finished. Since he didn't overstay his I-94 card by more then 180 days then he is not subject to the 3 year bar.
If his I-94 card expired in March 2003 then he would have had unlawful presence from that date forward and since it was more then one year then he would have been subject to 10 year bar.

As many are aware, there was a huge rush to buy and sell pre-approved labors during July-August 2007, when all the priority dates were suddenly made current. Tens of thousands of labors were sold by fraudulent consulting companies to many questionable GC seekers, who hadn�t even started the process till then.
It is those substituted labors which are clogging the pipelines now. Just think, last month EB3-I stood at November 2001. Now it is completely unavailable. It can�t possibly be because so many pending labors with such old priority dates suddenly got cleared this month, and beneficiary of these labors filed 140+485 together. I seriously doubt that a candidate whose labor is pending since such a long time is even keeping that GC process alive. In all likelihood he/she must have moved on in life.
There is only one explanation. These labors were already pre-approved. It is the attached I-140 on these labors that are getting approved rapidly. And the subsequent I-485 petitions on these applications are depleting the visa numbers.
The reason of this post is not to start an argument about the ethics of labor substitution. It is just a FYI post to explain the seemingly inexplicable. The chickens are coming home to roost.
Not completely agreed. Same as people filed in EB2 - no more qualified just better luck that their employers agreed and job description fit with EB2. Unlucky people like me got into EB3. I say EB2 are clogging....
This will take us to nowhere. Lets concentrate on something positive like recapture.
