Completely baseless and irresponsible statement from Mr. Gotcher!!!
He contradicts his own statements:
"If these statements are true, then the end of the current mess is in sight.
If the CIS really has wiped out its processing backlog, then when the "pre-adjudicated" cases are given visa numbers in the next fiscal year, cutoff dates should advance rapidly. At a minimum, we should see them return to February 2007 levels, if not closer."
CONTRADICTS:
" EB2 China and India: Outlook is "grim" and there may be further retrogressions until later in the fiscal year."
On what basis he thinks that EB3 India will have PD in 2001 but EB2 India will further retrogress (currently it is stuck in 1999):
"EB2 China and India: Outlook is "grim" and there may be further retrogressions until later in the fiscal year.
EB3 India: November 1, 2001"
AND THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS REMARK IS FOR CIR: Look at this:
"Of course, all of this becomes academic if CIR is passed. In that case, all priority dates will become "current" overnight and remain that way for years."
Yeah...right...this is same Mr. Gotcher who predicted that "if you do "consular processing" you will get your GC very soon as USCIS does not process cases"....Look what happened...
First of all he mentioned that 500k app in 2007 and then USCIS used 280k in 07 and 08. so 220k remaining. Dont forget that they opened gate till 2006 where so many people who got their labor cleared from backlog centers in 2007 ( Sep , after july 2007 thing ) applied.
So I would say out of 500k it didnot reduce 2 years but only 1 year ... so total left are 360k - 140k ( 2009 ) = 220k remaining. Now that they have pre adjucted 110k so 110k left. If they stop accepting new app for next 2 years then they can clear all mess in 2 years but law prevent them to do so...... so end of mess for ROW contries is near ( with improved USCIS process )... but for India out look is grim as law prevent india to get more than 3k if there is more demand from ROW and Eb4 and Eb5.
also If CIR passes and they add recapture then it will make dates current becasue those visa go on oldest app first. ( God knows who is oldest here ) but given that india has lot more app pending in back those recapture can clean lots of indian backlog while new supply keep going to ROW countries.
To me the bottom line is " VISA RECAPTURE " either law suit way or congress through.............. other than pack ur bag and head to wards home.... ( specially people like us who didnot file AOS and very tough to be on h1b after 6th year is over ) ..

using a flash is ok, just be careful if you wear glasses (you might need some retakes before you get it right). and turn on red eye removal. 3.2 mp for the size (2x2) of picture is good enough.. Even 1 mp is good enough if you are zooming in to take pictures. but if you are cropping a 1 mp picture to take out surroundings, its better to use 2mp plus camera.
When using a flash you get harsher shadows, to counter that have light source both from left right and top and do the picture in daytime with atleast some natural light. Remember stand atleast 2 feet away from the white background.
Flash results specially in home environment without proper lighting won't be good at nighttime unless you use multiple synchronised flash guns.
I guess the other persons remark regarding flash may be related to lighting / over exposures/ shadows. (make sure you wipe your face if you have oily skin - no kidding )
In the end if you really want to make your pictures look good and per specifications go to a portrait studio.
Thanks Oldmonk for the detailed reply! I appreciate it.

Defence deals , trade , outsourcing and immigration have always been very closely related all these years . The main reason that Obama was in India was to sell American wares and the No 1 list of his agenda was the $10.1 Billion MMRCA deal apart from future contracts on India's Nuclear Power generation program.
India on the other hand too has always lobbied the US on H1Bs and overall outsourcing issue and the deliberate maligning of Indian outsourcing companies was responded to with a warning by India that the US will be seriously disadvantaged in its other trade with India should US politicians continue to target Indian IT companies and IT engineers particularly.
This was clear in the Doha talks starting in 2007 and later years in where India chose to bring specifically the H1-B visa issue always , although the Doha talks might not have been the right forum to bring such issues. ( see link below )
India Links Visa Flap with Doha Talks (http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/content/may2007/gb20070518_492934.htm)
"The country's Commerce & Industry Minister says stories of work visa abuse by outsourcing companies could hurt chances for a global trade deal "
So the carrot of "Global trade" with India was being used very effectively so far by India to lobby for getting other concessions in the outsourcing industry and I am not sure how much this is going to be possible now .
In reality the level of Indo US relations has reached has never been so low in recent times and the below articles aptly details out the causes and the sentiment.
http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-04-29/india/29487082_1_nuclear-deal-nuclear-liability-law-indian-nuclear-power-sector

The adv of 485 route compare to CP is EAD/AP/AC21. In CP, the applicant is getting immigrant visa in a foreign post/consulate. How can USCIS give EAD/AP for a person who is staying outside of US to grant EAD/AP?. There is no technical ground for this request. If you/IV want to lobby, lobby for EAD/AP for the guys whose 140 was approved and staying in US legally on a non-immigrant visa. This may be possible thro, USCIS regulation w/o law change.
Though, law does not force any one to chose only 485 route, while you anyone already in US. Very very few guys will opt for CP while in US due to lot of hurdles in CP. Forget about retrogression, EAD, AP. Opting CP, cost you to fly to home country to get immigrant visa. There is no gurentee that US consulate will give you a immigrant visa based on approved 140 in CP process. That is always risk of denial at interview. It is something similar like, H1B approval by USCIS does not guartee the H1B visa at consulate.

techysingh,
This is what I wrote. I just faxed last Tuesday and havent heard from either Congressman or Senator. To this letter I also attached a copy of my I 140 approval (shows PD), a copy of I 485 receipt notice and 2 service requests that were started for me.
Congressman XYZ,
Subject: Request for assistance with delayed Immigration Petition
Dear Sir,
I would like to request your assistance with a pending petition with USCIS that has seen an undue delay in processing. This I 485 petition (Application to Adjust to Permanent Resident Status) and has been pending at the Texas Service Center since it was received. The receipt date is June 15, 2007 which is prior to what is currently listed as the processing date on the USCIS website (current processing date listed as of September 30, 2008 is June 27, 2007. USCIS has not updated the processing dates after September 30, 2008 on their website).
My Priority date of August 9th, 2001 is current for my case category EB3 India. I have requested a status update from the USCIS service center and 2 service requests were started on my behalf but I have not heard anything or seen any progress on my case.
I would appreciate any assistance in speeding the processing of this petition. I am enclosing relevant receipts and letters. Please let me know if you need any further information.
Sincerely,
nozerd

EB3-I is a lost hope, i dont think there will be any movement for next 2-3 years. Year 2001, 2002 and 2003 had 185K H1Bs and even if we assume 100K being used by India and all of them applied for GC -(half of them in EB3 to be optimistic). The number would be 50K/year just primary applicants. So, to advance from 2002 with 50K applicants would take---you can guess. There are only ~4000 visas/year for EB3 India.
Yeah I can understand... Well certain things defy logic.... Hope is all life is about :)
I am not trying to sound preachy.... com'on man we do go to casinos even knowing that the probability of winning is acute...

"CNN will definitely change its course and path it is taking if we start exposing Loo Dog. Once truth comes out, CNN may be worried about hurting its image and will definitely change courses."
Lou Dobbs is being attacked all the time by all kinds of people, including big organizations (La Raza, etc.). He brings in ratings, so I'm sure they have a thick skin about him over at CNN. If you're seriously considering a campaign, I would try talking to a reporter friend about 1. whether you should do it (I think it would be counterproductive); and 2. if you decide to do it anyway, how to go about it.
Having signs at the San Jose rally about Dobbs will hurt, not help. Keeping clear the distinction between legal and illegal immigration is key to any political effort, imho. Almost everyone is for legal immigration, but a majority of Americans are very concerned about illegal immigration. You start making this about illegal immigration, even implicitly, and sympathy will dry up quickly. And when you mention the word "Dobbs," the first thing that comes into the mind of the average American is "illegal immigration."

Surprisingly today I got second LUD on AP. Content is changed as under.
Receipt Number: LIN****
Application Type: I131, APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
On November 7, 2007 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service
I received my AP on Nov 3 and looking at the AP doc it had an approval date of Oct 10 whereas I had "Document mailed to applicant" message on Oct 31.
I am not sure what happened between Oct 10 and Oct 31st.

Changing jobs after 180 days of I-1485 pending/ I-140 approved.
Simple question:
1. Should I file AC-21 Memo with USCIS or not?
2. What are the risks of filing AC-21?
Note: I am working on EAD in Texas and my Labor was at IL but similar job.
3. Does Ac-21 always trigger a RFE and/or Interview?
4. What are the advantages of filing AC-21?
Please advise.

My wife is here in USA and just convert her status from F1 to H4 .And her F1 visa expiring this August. So we r planning to go Canada for Visa stamping.....

I know before you start blaming me for this thread, as it is of no use, I would like to point out that most of you must be experiencing the same thing. I didn't care much for Visa bulletin until it became current for EB2 two weeks back. As the time progress, I am doing all sorts of things, like checking USCIS case status, and checking everything that can possibly give me some information. I know that it is waste of time, I know it is not good for health, I know that I will get GC when time comes, but still, my mind is tricking me to think about it. I checked all these forums until 2A.M last night. I am not having enough sleep. I am waiting for a opportunity to get rid of my desi employer. I am really getting frustrated (I am not saying that I have been waiting for GC approval desperately). I just want to share my frustration and what I have been going through. I know I am in a better position than most of other people whose priority date is not even current. I wish they never dangled a carrot in front of me. I am not sure if they disappoint me next month, but I am still keeping my hopes. Hopefully, I would get over this and have enough sleep from today.
I met a guy yesterday who applied for GC in 1998. EB3-I. Has not got his GC yet. You would expect him to feel worse than what you feel. But he was completely relaxed. Reason, he does not expect his GC anymore.
Be happy that your PD is going to be current. But remove any expectation. If you get the GC, enjoy and party. If you do not, you will get it soon sometime later. Once the expectation of something is out, you will suffer less.
