So, if there are 400k pending applications and recapture can get us 215K, has anyone done some analysis on how the 215k will be divided among countries and categories?
Will this make EB2I current and EB3 I beyond say 2005?

Agree with Gary. And update us on the results.
Folks I wish your suggestions would be helpful, but I have taken 3 infopass appointments, and to my badluck, everytime I visit I meet the same old-fat-lady who now happens to remember me, and says, "Didnt I tell you last time that blah blah blah ", believe me, she was not willing to even accept request to send interim ead , she gave some reason that NSC outsourced callcenter work to contractors who dont know what they are saying and send us to local office to request interim EAD. She says my FP for ead was done only in Nov(my 2nd infopass resulted in 2nd FP) so it will take 4-6 weeks after that to get EAD. Anyways I will take your advice for a 4th infopass next week.

We have been watching VBs ever since Jan 2005 when priority dates were added.
. 1/1/2005 10/1/2008
------------------------------------
All - C 1/1/2005
CH - 1/1/2002 10/1/2001
IN - 1/1/2002 7/1/2001
ME - C 7/1/2002
PH - 1/1/2002 1/1/2005
ROW has shown some progress, but CH, IN, ME is behind what was in 2005. Thats almost 4 years after re-introduction of priority dates.
We need a solution now.
India Was in 1998 for some time. Not sure if this is right "IN - 1/1/2002 7/1/2001" .

I ran another poll in Sept 2008 (after last years EB2 India approvals).
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum2-retrogression-priority-dates-and-visa-bulletins/poll-381-a.html
There were 7% (8) 2003(+pre) cases, down to 1% good sign.
There were 20% (77) 2004 cases, now 25%(100) cases (we may have more 2004 members of in IV now or this is due to EB3->EB2 porting).
2006 and 2007 numbers are consistent, same percentage since last poll.
good idea. A google search beings up:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum2-retrogression-priority-dates-and-visa-bulletins/6128-trying-to-find-where-eb2-india-might-land.html
almost the same sized sample (~450)... this was right before the july 2007 fiasco, but includes 485 not-yet-filed, so is in essence the same thing as this poll.
2003 got somewhat cleaned up (used to be 15% is now 1%)
2004 is more or less same, of slightly higher (98 votes (24%) now. was 84 votes(20%) then)
so looks like big improvement in 2003, but 2004 barely changed overall?

There are favorable indications from the industry that they will get increased H1Bs. There is hence a strong belief among many lawyers that the H1B lobby will provide some relief. But we need to meet lawmakers so that they don't forget about the Green cards.
If you live in NY state, please contact bottlemani or myself. We need to organize ourselves before meeting the lawmakers. We will also have to take the trouble to drive to their offices. If we don't do this, all these pessimistic predictions will come true. Believe me, meeting the folks in the offices of the lawmakers makes a huge difference.
I agree with you qplearn and botlemani. Thank you for making this effort. It is sad to see that only few people have signed up for state chapters. there are very few on your NY thread even though we have several members from NYC and NY state. We all need to change our attitude and help each other in this common cause. If we all think that someone/others will do it for us, then nobody will do anything and we will all continue to wait for our greencards for the next several years. IV is providing everyone an opportuity and tools to help and work. IV core is working overtime to get it done. We cannot succeed if we do not get support from each and every member.

When there is a overflow, I strongly feel that it should flow to all the categories and that is called equality. Some inefficient people in Decision making authority at USCIS framed a rule on visa overflow and they are following it. If the rule is not much logical/ethical to most of the people, then anyone can voice their rights against it.
Just for example, a team consists of one project manager(EB1), two tech leads(EB2) and 6 Developers(EB3). The demand is based on no. of vacancies exists on the market, that means a lot of EB3, less EB2 and few EB1.
As per this rule, USCIS is not actually feeding the hungry.
Regarding the country quota, US is not favoring/helping the foreign countries by giving GC to those people from them. So, it makes no sense at all when it comes to immigrants but I can understand the bureaucracy behind it.
If they are implementing the country limit then it should be like 0.00001% of that country's population, I feel.
What are you talking about? There are a limited number of green cards each year. The US wants the best of the best to get these green cards. Therefore, more preference is given to those with a higher degree or more experience. What's unjust or unfair about that? The trick is to look at things from the American perspective and not from the immigrant perspective.
And for the record, I am an EB3.

I think your plan may work out just fine. I would make a couple of suggestions:
1. If you are taking LOA from original employer, for practical purposes (for USCIS), you are not employed with that employer any more (they go by pay stubs). But if doing so helps to avoid revocation of 140, go ahead and do it that way.
2. Because you will actually get your pay check from new employer, you are employed by them (and you will work on EAD with them, make sure that this is mentioned on your I-9 form). No matter how much ignorant your employer is, they will have to have I-9 on file and it must have your EAD (not H1).
3. After doing this, you will be on I 485 pending status (no longer on H status), and so make sure you have current EAD and AP all the time.
4. If something goes wrong with your I 485 (very unlikely); you will have to leave the country and enter back on H visa and work for H visa sponsoring employer (probably your old employer).
5. It is perfectly fine to not file AC21. AC21 is needed only if you do not plan to join original sponsoring employer after GC approval. However, if you do want to file AC21, you do not need much documentation from your new employer. It just needs the simple letter stating your job position as a "physician" and brief job duties (briefer the better!) and salary (should be proportional or higher). If you do not file AC21, you may just keep that documentation on file with your attorney (which I would do to be on safe side). The implication of having this is as follows:
--If you have this documentation (even if not filed with USCIS), at the time of approval of your GC you will have the option of just staying with new employer or going back to original employer.
--If you do not have this, you will have to go back to original employer after GC approval with a "good faith intention of permanent job".
PM me if you have questions about what I said above, and I will be happy to talk to you.
Good Luck.
FYI -- what is I-9 and what does the employer need to do for that?

Meeting at hindu center in flushing on Sun evenings would not work so well due to the prayers being held during Sun evenings at the temple. I think we should poll people on when it's most conveninent for them to meet and go from there...
and yes prayers do help too but as they say "god helps those who help themselves...so both prayers and actions are needed :)

You can't get more than 10K people to sign up to IV.
And you can't get more than 300 people to sign up for $20 per month.
What makes you think you can convince 20-30K people to move with you?

this whole thing sucks. USCIS cannot adjudicate even I-131 on time. We have booked our travel tickets after 100 days of Received date of AP renewal application and looks like we have to cancel our tickets and waste $1800. This really blows and its attrocity to the core that USCIS cannot process AP renewals inside 90 days time period and its a shame that they are not answerable to anyone.
wow! I am worried about my case now. I booked tickets for Nov. Its 45 days and I haven't heard anything. I will have to expedite in about 15 days from now. I can't imagine canceling my tickets after 4 years.
I agree. It sucks! Its like begging for something that they are supposed to provide anyway.:mad:

GO to Trenton DMV (theoritically every DMV), they will give you a DL till 6/20/2008. Due to these delays in H1b Extensions, NJ DMV's extending the DL another 90 days expecting that will suffice
My drivers License is expiring 01/01/2008 , My H1 expires on 03/20/2008.
So will I just get drivers license extended till that

I just dont get it. A.R Rehman has been doing amazing work for ages now and it needed a British movie to take him to the world stage. Really, his work in Dil Se...was way better than what he did in Slumdog.
Bollywood sucks and how!!! They need to figure out how they can take their cinema to the world audience. They've been failing miserably in promoting their movies in the west. Americans welcome change and encourage talent always and our bollywood producers/directors need to tap that.
Well, if Hollywood had any needs of his kind of music, they wont stop. they will go and hire people from anywhere in the world if the film required it.
plus, please do not forget that the US makes music that is appreciated the world over. so, there is no shortage of talent here or in europe which is easily accessible to producers here.
and why does AR rahman need to be appreciated by the hollywood guys for us to feel better. We feel better cos he was recognized, time does not matter.
This film had an indian backdrop and the director felt comfortable to go with the local talent, one of the best in the world and still local. win-win
also, the class of music that south asia produces is completely different from the taste of music that the europeans had.
Globalization is changing that. and yesterday night was a proof of that.
