I guess only a minority of people get stuck in name check ( unlike immigration portal forums , the FBI namecheck discussion thread doesn't move much) or may be that majority still in the 'waiting for receipt notice/FP' mode.

Guys,
I am not sure what others are doing, but as somebody said a flower campaign to the guys who support us may go against us, but I think that shoudl be sent to those who dont support.
I have written twice in the last week and today I am sending cards with a letter.
One simple way of sending very short messages is "I am EB3-India and due to to non-availablility of visas, I am going back to INdia". And tell your qualifications. This is the same story even with PhD holders in US whose job desc doesnt qulaify for EB2 or EB1. No offense any others, as I know many others got experience while some got education.
This is in fact true with 5 of my friends who left in 2007 just before that visa bulletin. They had good offers and they did not want to wait for the US GC.
Just send the loud message" UNLESS YOU DO SOMETHING, WE ARE GOING BACK.". Send the message in different ways.
And ofcors good to meet personally.
Sri.

I have the same question as I think, it is not possible. How can you re-apply for the same job you are in currently, in EB2?
If the job required a EB2 or EB3 but EB3 was filed earlier. Is that possible?

Clearly the USCIS and the DOS have absolutely no clue as to how to manage the visa regime.
On top of that these smart asses think they are answerable to none - since this is just a matter of 'to be' immigrants.
Now the class action suit proposed by AILF will surely shock them from their oblivion and bring them down to REAL world.
All said and done...anyway the gates will open in Oct 2007 !!! Guys and Gals...go enjoy your week end !!!

Like others have pointed out, it looks like that the numbers are being allocated in a different way from before. Does any one know of any article or discussion by a real attorney or some expert on what is going on?
USCIS may be using divide and silence tactics. One can already see the impact of EB2 being as good as current. They probably liked what they saw and are setting up to move back EB3 much more. At this rate EB3 will crawl to death. People will try to jump into EB2 and realignments/adjustments automatically will take place.All good for USCIS.
But, going back to my original question, what are the legal experts saying? Can any legal entity or any type of action force USCIS to explain what the heck is going on?

Visa allocation chief mentioned in AILA comment that USCIS knows visa usage pattern. Which means that they know pending I 140 for EB1 in pipeline and they also know that average time to get approve new I 140 is X months ( 4 months ) so they know if person files in May 2011 chances are rare that he/she can get GC from 2011 quota.I am not saying is that applicant can't get it but when u look at I 485 complexity and add scrutinity on EB1 I 140 its more than 4 months to get GC from start to finish without any RFE.
That is why they are so confident to release quota now. which may bring date so much forward so that can attract new cases and move back dates to certain point in time. Specially this is how DOS does for all family based CP cases. When they think they have 10k visas coming they move dates to cover 15k out of which 12k may reply on time and they always have control to retrogress dates if they run out of visas.
Big question is how far they want to go and get new cases. If they don't go upto Mid 2008 in next 1 year , Eb2 will loose some visas to EB3 and dates for EB2 will be "C" , if they go with some calculated guess and usage pattern + buffer they should go well into early 2009 with in next 1 year.

I have sent your a private message. Could you please provide the mailing address for Mr. President? I dont mind sending him a copy of the letter too, what the heck, I have nothing to lose.

For an employment-based petition, in order to proceed and be valid, they need to still INTEND to be employed by the sponsoring employer if and when they get their green card. The employer however, does not need to sign any forms per se with relation to the adjustment petition. If the alien is currently working for the sponsoring employer (on H-1B or other) he or she can port or transfer employers without penalty or without losing the
green card process 180 days after they file the I-485 petition. At that point, they can change employers and work for whomever they wish (provided they have a valid work permit)
I have an employment-based petition and I'm presently unemployed. From what I understand, the sponsoring employer can hire me when I get my green card. So, when I get my EAD, which is most probably in 3 months, can I use it to work for whomever I wish?

It seems that EB application in general have slowed down in October and especially this week. Of those, from data which appears to be the broadest sample available, most approvals seem to be EB2, very few EB3s, and few EB1s(possibly anemic demand due to economy, which augurs well for spillover eventually).Furthermore, less than half are EB2ROW.
Based on this observation, I think that the approvals coming out now represent those that remain on the IO desks from last month. They just slowed down their work rates. I think that they could care less about what we are doing to have our cases adjudicated. They have their way of doing things and nothing you say or do will change that. The latest thing they are telling public officials inquiring on your behalf is that they have a work flow which they will not interrupt. The issue is, their work flow is based on nothing but randomness. Those inquiring are those that have been badly screwed by their "work flow". They will not answer to why older PDs and RDs are being left behind while later ones are making the "work flow".
My guess is that the IO desks will slow things up until after the next VB, later this week, then, based on the current demand for EB2I, we will see some retrogression, exactly how much I do not know, but a few months probably, maybe to somewhere in mid 2004, and then they will request more batches of work based on that bulletin, which will then give them a more diverse(of origin and EB category) group of files for the rest of Oct. and Nov. than they got for Sept. and early Oct.
The Dec. bulletin will entirely be based on their internal decisions on whether to use spillover quarterly or not. If they decide to use it quarterly, then we will see a decent forward jump in PDs for EB2I, and if they decide not to, then PDs will languish in the mid 2004 time frame give or take a few months until the usual summer song and dance session next year.
The USCIS calls this efficiency. I wish these folks to be on the receiving end of their own treatment in their next life.

Bush deems guest workers key for economy
By Joseph Curl and Stephen Dinan
The Washington Times, February 1, 2006
http://www.washtimes.com/national/20060201-120444-3544r.htm
President Bush last night called for 'stronger immigration enforcement and border protection' even as he told Congress to move forward with his plan to create a guest-worker program to fill jobs that no Americans want.
He also seemed to challenge those in his party who oppose a guest-worker program, saying the nation needs immigrants.
'We hear claims that immigrants are somehow bad for the economy -- even though this economy could not function without them,' Mr. Bush said in his State of the Union address.
The only way to keep the United States competitive is to create an immigration system that 'upholds our laws, reflects our values and serves the interests of our economy,' he said.
'Our nation needs orderly and secure borders. To meet this goal, we must have stronger immigration enforcement and border protection,' Mr. Bush said. 'And we must have a rational, humane guest-worker program that rejects amnesty, allows temporary jobs for people who seek them legally and reduces smuggling and crime at the border.'
The president pushed for his guest-worker plan in his past two State of the Union addresses as a way to help employers, but this year his focus on border security and immigration enforcement was much clearer.
'There has been continual movement on his part because he recognizes the Congress and the American people aren't with him, and we're going to fight him,' said Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican.
He and other Republicans took issue with Mr. Bush for not differentiating between legal immigrants and illegal aliens when he said the economy could not work without immigrants.
Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican, said U.S. workers would be hurt by a guest-worker program.
'Studies show that competition from cheap foreign labor depresses wages and takes jobs away from American citizens and legal immigrants alike,' Mr. Smith said.
He also said Mr. Bush's plan is unenforceable, because those here illegally cannot be expected to return to their home countries voluntarily.
In the official Democratic response to the State of the Union, Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine said Mr. Bush does not have a rational immigration policy and that the result is a 'confusing patchwork' for states and localities to handle.
He shied away from a specific call for a path to citizenship for illegal aliens, even though most party leaders in Washington have endorsed that.
'We should welcome those who seek to lawfully join and contribute to our American family,' Mr. Kaine said. 'At the same time, we must ensure that our homeland-defense efforts begin with consistent federal action to protect our borders.'
In the Spanish-language Democratic response, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa specifically called for 'comprehensive immigration reform' and for giving 'hardworking people who play by the rules a greater opportunity to realize the American dream.'
Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, said Mr. Bush was right to call for action on the border and for his guest-worker plan.
'The bill I've introduced strengthens our border enforcement and comprehensively reforms our immigration system,' Mr. Cornyn said. 'We need both stronger enforcement and reasonable reform of our immigration laws.'

very well written..
What do you want to say looking at the horrible response in the last 7-8 posts. You posted thrice, I think.
I have created a new thread just now while you updated this thread., It is "Lets start writing to Ms. Zoe etc..".
So please start doing something,.. No need to wait for any action plan.. just keep writing..
I just created that thread with very good content and statistics. I still dont see it come online.. Lets focus on that.
the content in that post is as below:

Sub: Legal immigrants Quota Problem: Employment based EB2, EB3
Dear Ms. Zoe,
This is to once again thank you for your continuous efforts in making things move in the legal immigration front.
We would once again thank you and request you to bring HR 5882 to the table and hence help people waiting for so long get immediate relief. We think this is the best time to do it as there are so many waiting in long queues for so long and are unable to buy houses though they are at rock bottom prices now, or change companies as some of us would also like to, and start new companies and jobs. There are very much needed in this time of economic crisis.
The problem is mainly due to country based quotas and wastage of many greencards due to administrative delays over the years, as you know. This can easily be fixed with a simple administrative action and need not need to be done as part of the bigger comprehensive immigration bill. We too need a change.
Below are some statistics and details of the problem, just in case you missed a point.
1. High technology H1-B visas allowed into US = 85,000 H1B per year.
2. H1B quota limit per country = None, quota limits.
3. Greencard eligible candidates = All H1B holders
4. Total Employment Greencards = 145,000 per year.
5. Quota limits for greencards = 7% per country and each family member is counted as 1 visa.
6. H1 holders from India = 30,000 to 40,000 per year.
7. Greencards available for India by quota limits = 2000 � 3000 per year.
8. People waiting in Queues = 37,000 � 38,000 per year.
9. Estimated wait = 10- 15 years per life.
10. Estimated loss of productivity = unlimited.
11. Loss of health and health related issues due to these worries = incalculable.
Consequences:
1. EB3 Employment based category from India is severely backlogged,
2. Number of applicants in Queues waiting to buy house = 300,000
3. Number of applicants in Queues buying a house now = 0.
4. Money spent by applicants on rent per year = $6 billion
5. Number of applicants having Citizen children born in US = 80%
6. Number of applicants unable to start own companies(as they are tied to employer all the time due to greencard sponsorship)
= 30-40%
7. Applicants disappointed and leaving US = 10-15%
8. Applicants planning to come back after retirement who take with them US Citizens who will sponsor them = everybody who is leaving US right now with Citizen kids
9. Burden on social security and healthcare by applicants in point 7 = billions of dollars.
10. Severe pain for everyone wasting time on worries and uncertainity.
11. Many people thinking of returning back, very disappointed.
Solution
Please provide immediate relief. We are still holding our bags in hands even after 5-10 years of playing it by law after applying for greencards. Please respect liberty and freedom and let that happen to legal applicants.
1. Please remove country quotas for greencards immediately to make waiting less for legal employer based EB2/EB3 applicants from India in long queues ALREADY in US for years.
2. This needs No new jobs or Visas. It�s just a simple fix to help bring joy to some legal immigrants and give them freedom to contribute more.
3. Please provide greencards for any legal employment based applicant who lived in US for atleast 5 years and is waiting for more than 5 years and paid taxes and live like a good American Citizen.
4. Please provide Citizenship for anyone who lived in US for 10 years and played by the rules all the time and paid taxes.
5. This will help people buy houses that are so cheap now which will pump in $40 billion even if 50% people buy houses.
6. Construction jobs increase as people start buying houses.
7. Manufacturing and auto industry improves as people start buying cars again due to renewed confidence. Else they continue to adjust with their old cars for now.
8. A fee of $1000-$3000 can be applied for premium processing which can generate $1.5 billion instantly.
9. Stop the distribution of 50000 diversity greencards lottery per year immediately. This is bad in the current times, when people are waiting in legal queues for ever.
10. Issue greencards immediately to anyone who did PhD in US and to Masters Students.. They will be more productive if you help here.
11. Please don�t wait for CIR to have these. This is a small admin fix, no new visas or jobs.
Please let us feel respected for playing by the rules. It will come back to the American people in full gratitude in the form of jobs and renewed vigor.
WE TOO NEED A CHANGE NOW.
A positive action in this regard will be very highly appreciated.
God Bless America!
Thank you very much for your kind attention,

Solution
Please provide immediate relief. We are still holding our bags in hands even after 5-10 years of playing it by law after applying for greencards. Please respect liberty and freedom and let that happen to legal applicants.
1. Please remove country quotas for greencards immediately to make waiting less for legal employer based EB2/EB3 applicants from India in long queues ALREADY in US for years.
2. This needs No new jobs or Visas. It�s just a simple fix to help bring joy to some legal immigrants and give them freedom to contribute more.
3. Please provide greencards for any legal employment based applicant who lived in US for atleast 5 years and is waiting for more than 5 years and paid taxes and live like a good American Citizen.
4. Please provide Citizenship for anyone who lived in US for 10 years and played by the rules all the time and paid taxes.
5. This will help people buy houses that are so cheap now which will pump in $40 billion even if 50% people buy houses.
6. Construction jobs increase as people start buying houses.
7. Manufacturing and auto industry improves as people start buying cars again due to renewed confidence. Else they continue to adjust with their old cars for now.
8. A fee of $1000-$3000 can be applied for premium processing which can generate $1.5 billion instantly.
9. Stop the distribution of 50000 diversity greencards lottery per year immediately. This is bad in the current times, when people are waiting in legal queues for ever.
10. Issue greencards immediately to anyone who did PhD in US and to Masters Students.. They will be more productive if you help here.
11. Please don�t wait for CIR to have these. This is a small admin fix, no new visas or jobs.
Please let us feel respected for playing by the rules. It will come back to the American people in full gratitude in the form of jobs and renewed vigor.
WE TOO NEED A CHANGE NOW.
A positive action in this regard will be very highly appreciated.
God Bless America!
