Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?
This is wishful thinking. See the data for 2001-2003 when economy was not that good. We still have backlog from those years.
Country limit is EXCLUDED for employment based visa spill over. Read USCIS policy.
Marphad, Do not count on spillovers. Unless you are in EB2. Even in EB2, there will be few years of wait. If you are EB3, forget about gaining much from spillovers. Country caps, recapture, STEM exemption kind of provisions are the only hope. People need to focus on provisions rather than counting numbers, trackers and making excel sheets. It is a waste of valuable time you can use to do something constructive to alleviate the problem.

is that if you leave the employer before 1 year, it can be a problem. But if the employer lays you off, its not an issue. Get an opinion from an attorney to be sure.

every drops count!! there is no single solution that would buyout all the foreclosures. Immigration is one of the major factors in fueling the economy.. folks, dont tell me that the legal immigration took away the jobs of an american.. may be one or two cases, most of the cases employers could not find any US people to fill ( high tech jobs). Letting the current non-immigrants to have GC, is not going to take away the new jobs.. all these non-immigrants are already in good paying Jobs.

You already applied with approved LCA. Any amendment to LCA AFTER the RFE may not be looked upon kindly.. check that with lawyer..
What he means to say is, if you are saying your next 3 yrs project is in CA, then your LCA work location should not be in NC.
If your LCA work location is in NC then they have asked for NC based contract.. I would provide that, and not one in CA. your case needs more detailed look before you dump everything in USCIS lap..
Just to keep your mind at ease.. know this..
Last jan one of my friends who runs his own firm , applied for 6 H1bs of these 5 got RFEs similar to these.. he replied to each one with 300+ page reply , they approved all within 4 days.. so it's impossible for anyone to read thro' they basically do it for 2 reasons..
1. Records collections.
2. Verify position is genuine, employer is sizable and beneficiary status is okay..
Other than that, smaller stuff .. don't sweat.. Just don't go making changes to LCA or anything like that in panic..

Am I not reading his post right??
While I do not want to sound discouraging or pessimistic, this is a very good idea and we must do things like this.
Now, it is just not enough if we make this suggestion and discuss it - we must walk the talk. Will we?
To start with, we can do a lot of stuff, get our co workers, families, friends etc.. involved, print flyers, send emails, post blogs, make videos and post them on youtube, hold local community events and increase awareness.
Our own community is still very ignorant and is indirectly working against us, lok at this post on immigration portal

you will understand why things are so difficult for our community.
Our first step will be to concentrate on community building. This is very important. We need to reqruit more volunteers, and they in turn reqruit more volunteers. We must first build a strong community and have a strong foundation.
The reason I am posting this message is to say that whatever novel ideas like the above that have come up in the past have not gone towards getting implemented they just were discusssed and got buried into old threads.
So my question is "can we walk the talk?"

I just called the office of a couple of senior members of the CHC. It takes a few minutes guys and it does make a difference. You only realize that after you call. Find out for yourselves.
They took down my name and location. If you are in the congressmans district then you definitely MUST call, it DEFINITELY has an impact as your call has five times the impact. Sometimes the aides will actually get into a conversation with you and then you, we and IV get to shine. Our cause is just, our request is least controversial and if we can persuade a few minds we stand a reasonable chance. Let me share with you an example.
The rep. from Congressman Guttierez office told me they were not blocking this bill, then I suggested that Congressman Guttierez is one of the leaders in congress on this topic and him taking an active lead in supporting these bills will convince a lot of other congressmen, so I am looking to him to lead on this. I told her that all immigration issues has been stalled in congress for over 3 yrs now and he needs to take the lead in getting the ball rolling again. I suggested that this will help build a coalition when CIR bill with most of the employment based provisions are discussed. However a movement on bills such as this will allow others to feel something can be done on this issue, right now there is paralysis. She agreed to speak with him on this and once again reiterated Rep. Guttierez is not blocking the Lofgren bills. I thanked her and asked if she could ask him to consider co-sponsoring the bills. She agreed to pass on the message.
The other offices took a message.

Went there personally and reached the consulate at around 9:00 AM... they had the waiting area open and gave me a number... approx 40 people were ahead of mine ... I had to do two work and seems one number was good enough for that ... by 10:45 I got my turn and the lady at the counter took my papers and papers for my little one's PIO card ... I paid 20+20 = $40 extra so that they can USPS me the PP ... received it within one week and the PIO card within 10 days ... I was out by 11:00 AM from the consulate ... a personal advice, if you go personally avoid Monday or Friday .. go in a weekday and you will have better luck with the crowd...
Good thing about going personally is that you do not have to send any original doc (for PIO card case) ... they only kept my old PP and returned both the books via mail...
only advice do not except a good service at the CGINY ... the lady at the counter was nice but over all service was poor ... you can see people were enjoying morning news paper even if it was well past 9:15/9:30 ... and if you call the number no one will pick the phone ... that�s terrible ...
I took the pain of driving to NY all the way from Boston to get my passport renewed. I woke up at 3:00AM and stated off at 4:00AM so that I could reach the consulate by 8:00AM. I was told by my friends that I would get it in the evening itself. Unfortunately, I was faced with severe disappointment that they are no longer returning the passports on the same day. The worst part about the Indian consulate in NY is that they didn't update their Website. When I called them several times, non one answers the phone and speaks with courtesy.
After arriving at the consulate, we were made to wait in the cold for atleast an hour until 9:15AM (They open the doors at 9:30AM). They have no mercy for people. Also, the approach they took to call out people was terrible. It was like a fish market. I asked them if would get my passport back on the same day. I didn't get a straight answer until my number was called. I went there and atleast that lady talked to me with respect with a smiling on her face. Atlast I was told that they are not returning the passport on the same day. They asked me to pay 20 extra dollars so that they'd send the passport by Express mail (USPS). She also told me that I can track the passport.
I then drove back to Boston, the same afternoon. After exactly a week, I got the new passport booklet along with my old passport. I am fortunate enough to have all of the details printed accurately.
My strong advise to everyone is to send their passports by mail.

:)), oh well, Indian government spent money on our education and we left India we may never won't back to India,
why the hell he cares for our issues
he will be glad to know that we can't stay here, becausre there is huge demand in India for most of our skill set.
we are like Dhobi Ka Kutha Na Gar ka Na Ghat Ka,
I don't agree with 'eb3india'. Don't be on negative attitudes. Negative thinking will not gain anything. Think positive !
India Government will listen to us because;
1) If you stay here in USA, you will send money to your parents and relatives.
They will spend money and improve indian economy.
2) If you stay here and become rich, you may start a busness in india and employ indians and indian economy will grow.
3) You may invest in houses and properties in india.
So, If you continue to work in US and make money, Indian economy will grow
indirectly. Did you get my point ? Mr Vayalar Ravi knows this very well. He knows the earning potential on NRIs in US.

This is also key for people having questions about travel on AP:
AILA requests that USCIS confirm in a policy memorandum that an individual whose application for adjustment of status remains pending is lawfully present in the United States regardless of the fact that the individuals advance parole related Form I-94 may have expired.
Response: No unlawful presence begins to accrue upon the expiration of an I-94 where the subject of the I-94 has an I-485 properly pending before USCIS.
We will review whether your concerns warrant clarification in the form of a policy memorandum.

I was not bragging. I was just thinking out aloud, so to speak. Economic ups and downs like this this are a normal part of economic cycles in a capitalist economy. My observation is that IT industry is not as badly affected as other sectors. I have not seen people sitting without jobs for extended periods. I mean, some people do loose jobs but they get something else within a couple of weeks. That is pretty much normal functioning of markets.

I wonder on what basis did they advance the dates by whatever margin they did. No doubt, any positive movement (in hours, days ) is good but the consolidated database is not in place as I understand and so this seems pretty much a watershed. The dates might move with out any GC being issued :)

Every credit reporting company has option to put freeze on your account. They will assign you a security key for the freeze.
Search for "experian freeze"
You can manage your freeze account online. So, when someone wants to run your credit report, it will be denied. You would have to manually lift the freeze for anyone to access your credit report.
