But then again - there are lot of rules that doesn't make sense. I feel that it is better to spend energy to get them amended..
if you could make a difference then take your pick from ....
a) ban EB3-Eb2 porting
b) or EB1 abuse
c) or eliminate country quota
d) or recapture the visa
e) or don't count dependents in EB category.
f) or abuse by body shop consutling firms
g) or Automatic GC or citizen after x years........
h) ..... list goes on..
.. if all could be done @ same time - it would be perfect..
i)And Make spilloover distributed equally among all the categories below it. Please add this also.
j) Move all EB3 waiters automatically into EB2 if they are waiting for more than 6 years with priority date retained.

Does this atleast help in filing for 485 even if numbers are not available ?
I think you will have some benefit out of this bill, albeit, indirectly. This Bill will exempt a lot of folks with advanced degrees from US and non-US universities. All advanced degree holders from US univs. (STEM and non-STEM) will be exempt. So, a person with an MBA flus a 4 year bachelors from a US univ. will be exempt. Also, folks with non-US STEM advanced degrees who have been working in the US in a related field for 3 or more years will be exempt as well. The family members of such folks are exempt as well. Consequently a lot of folks currently waiting in the pipeline may no longer be counted against the quota, thus reducing the clog in the pipeline. ANother benefit out of this bill is that it increases the quota from 140K to 290K. There fore, you will definitely see some positive movement in priority dates for people in your and other similar situations (this is the indirect benefit I was referring to). It is very hard to say at this point how much the positive movement would me. It will all depend on how many people will be exempt from the quota.

All the talk on the forums were about visa data movements only in the last quarter. So the one month movement for Eb2-I and Eb3-I is kinda expected and is not really a disappointing news.
The dates would move forward. Based on the discussions here, there are around 80,000 visas still available for this FY. (50,000 pending from regular EB quota + some 27,000 due to AC21 backlog + 2007 share from Family other quota). For the USCIS to not waste any more EB visas, the DOS will have to move the dates forward. I am expecting that Eb2-I will be set some where in 2005 and Eb3-I will be set at the middle or end of 2003 in the coming 3-4 months.
This month also didnt improve EB3 (I) condition!!
Does this mean more and more will convert to EB3 whose PD is 2001-2004?

I guess it's not about service. It's about job professionalism. There is no problem with Air Hostess or employees, but it is management. Let me give snap shot of my exp.
My flight was from Bangalore --> Bombay --> USA
Flight took off at Bangalore 60 mins late. Staff reassured that flight in Bombay will be waiting
Once we reached Bombay they took boarding passes and tore them off. They said your flight already left, you have to go next day. Some passengers noticed that few passengers are still boarded into US flight with flight nbr given in our boarding passes. When everyone made an issue about this they said, it's overbooked so we can not accommodate.
So their statement that flight took off was literal lie which is unprofessional. Also they deliberately delayed Bangalore flight which also they did not manage nicely
Then they said go to Delhi there is a flight. We reached delhi there is no flight. There AI staff said not sure why they sent you here. Only option is next flight starts tomorrow. Next day they listed the flight but again they say it's cancelled due to technical difficulties and part has to come from other country and you can fly only tomorrow.
By that time there were passengers of 2 days waiting. when every one made a big noise, they arranged a flight after 4 hours.
They should have made alternate arrangements before all this mess and 2 days of waiting. Consider people with infants.
I understand unfortunate things happen but deliberate lies due to mismanagement and moving you around just to buy time is completely unprofessional. I did not find this kind of unprofessionalism in other airlines, even though there are other bad experiences with them also.
similar incident happened to my room-mate, may be little worse.
The airline was aerofloat (russian) in this case.
they boarded aircraft from bombay to ewr. aircraft started running on runway and after some unsuccessful attempts they came back to terminal. with everyone's surprise, the pilot announced that there is a techincal difficulty and unable to takeoff.
Next flight was after 48 hours and that too from delhi. No need to say my friend spend 24 hours also at moscow airport and finally reached newark after 4 days finally. All these with no ground staff at bombay by aerofloat. Being young students, my friend and his groups helped like a coolie to shuttle all other elderly passengers bags to hotel and so forth. He is a very fair person and still doesn't blame aerofloat. He bought the return ticket for 760 with tax, where other airlines used to charge like 1200 or so.
morale of the story: don't blame airindia for all the faults. I am sure there is lot to improve but it is not the only airline where things go bad. This is possible anywhere.
and lastly, the OP who blamed airindia for not allowing duty free stuff bought at NJ at frankfurt - don't blame AI. It is the airport staff of FRA and not AI.
For all those who think that only airindia is bad, go to google and search for reviews of any airline. Chances are very high that you will get such horror stories described by someone.
The OP somewhere has an attitude that he is too important and shouldn't have any issues. Unfortunately the world is not perfect.

H1B visa is meant to be for people with skills that are in shortage in the US. If any H4 feels that he/she should be able to work, he/she should get a H1B. I agree that it may be difficult for some H4s to find a sponsorer for H1B, because their skills are not in shortage in the US.
Some spouses may join their H1B counterparts in the US, with an expectation that they will eventually get the GC and will be able to work, no matter what their skill set is. This is a reasonable expectation. So, blame the retrogression.
I do not believe that H4s should ever be allowed to work. They just take away jobs of more skilled workers who are unable to get H1Bs and who are still in their home countries trying for one. Skill-less free riders!
Now, please don't bash me with counter arguments!! ;)
After making such a harsh statement as above,"I do not believe that H4s should ever be allowed to work", I wonder whether you have your spouse with you in the US. If yes, you are not compassionate about their situation.
The L2 visa people were able to get EAD, not only because their spouses had good influence, but also because they showed respect to their spouses , who compromised their career, to travel with them to the United States, while they were chasing the dream.
If you do not know the meaning of compromise, and mutual respect, there is no point in running a campaign like this for the welfare of immigrants.
How can you totally ignore the plights, of H4 people, and run a campaign like this for green card. I believe that it is pure selfishness if you do the same. I mean maybe you are not married, or may be you and your lucky spouse, may be the one who didnt have to fight for any H1B lottery while in H4 and to make the tough choice of being with your spouse or losing the career. If being lucky in your life is the reason of making such harsh comment, without even understanding others problem, then I just want to advice that luck is a very tricky thing, and may be you will also face issues in this foreign land for which you might not get any support.
Also, dnt just assume that just because you got your H1, you and your friends outside the US are smarter than the H4 people. Some of us also had an enviable career back home and which is respected through out the world, but made the compromise as we cared about the career of our spouses in the US.
Also I heard people saying in this thread, if H4 people are smart, get H1 and that is the rule and we cannot change it. What about the H1 Lottery? I thought this entire group is for bringing in postive reforms to the current law. If not why dnt we wait for GC for 10 years. That is the house rule and we need to follow it!
With people like you in this group, I feel dissappointed support this cause.

Simple and yet we have not acted purposefully. I have a strong feeling that this visa grab is still going on. HLG has sent out another immigration alert to all registered emails, similar to one posted on Feb 9, 2007. . And I quote a bit
Stopping this 'unused visa grab' for only one section of retrogressed and demanding it for all retrogressed is a sure WIN for us, if it happens; if it is stopped, it will make a tectonic shift the focus to the whole gamut of issues of retrogression, backlogs etc and will put more pressure on Congress to act.
I have seen and read all the posts in this thread started by me. I appreciate all points and posts, particularly by core team.
The least we can do is write and fax to Congress and demand. The IV team should set up a fax, so that each of us here can protest these moves by Congress without considering other severely backlogged applications. For this I propose a simple message.
Next one/two days are crucial. Let's make a difference.
Note:
1) In the above, I am trying to be focused, addressing one issue at a time. Backlogs, Slowness, Finger Prints are also other genuine issues. Let us stop the greedy stealing by HLG and their ilk.
2) If for whatever reason IV will not come up with a web fax, a few of us must act individually and let the congressmen and senators know of our protest. I had faxed to a few Congressmen and Senators, from the fax machine at my workplace. Believe me, these types of protests have worked in the past.
nurses are needed in hospitals. ever been to one in the US? there is a big shortage of nurses. opposing numbers for nurses is unethical, because lives are saved in hospitals, and will show us in poor light.

Well, If you sign up for IV credit card, the contributor is not paying from his pocket. It's the bank, who is paying for him, and contributor will keep earning miles/reward point as with any other credit card so it should make ZERO difference for card holder.
Its like finding a advertising sponsor for any of the IV event,except this is one time effort.
the earning could be huge. lets do simple math.
Average CC monthly bill = $1000 , 2% of $1000= $20.
20 * 20k = 40K monthly contribution.
Now think how hard is it to raise 40K monthly using our regular fund raising ?
Basic problem with fund raising is, once person gets his EAD/GC , he stops visiting IV website, I am sure he/she still supports the cause by heart but it just happens that he does not visit this site and does not notice our fund raising drive ( and as a result, we call them selfish :p) .
But if he is carrying IV credit card , its very easy for him to pick up that CC and swipe every time he makes purchase and support the cause.
Hope you get an idea :).
-Naushit.
The subject line sums it up!
Once folks get past this hurdle, they will realize the need to get together and lobby for a change, and that we need to do it ASAP!
The IV credit card should be on top of your own contribution... there are no two ways about this... if you got an EAD after the July 2007 fiasco, you owe it to IV.
Now pay a portion of your newly gained benefits to IV to make sure you can gain more benefits, e.g. how about saving on your EAD renewal fees for 5 out of the next 10 years!

It's not possible to achieve this without changing the INA.
It's a legal requirement that an immigrant visa is immediately available to an applicant at the time AOS application is filed.
