I would suggest IV to setup a seperate Chinese (or Hispanic) contribution page to diverse the culture background of IV members.
Hmm.. thats a good idea.. At least have a one opening page in Chinese / Spanish to bring in more people.. I hope IV does that later.. Of course they would need volunteers for the translation..

Will donate for sure, also looking into possibility of attending.
eb3retro,I am happy that you could take the decision, but still still have mixed feelings. BTW, how old are your kids?
Chaya, We are going back to India on personal choice. My manager here knows very clearly that I cannot take up promotions and the HR does not want to do eb3-->eb2 conversion. So, I took up this crap for a while, and decided to put an end to this misery once and for all. And fortunately the same company is offering me a job in India at a good designation with good compensation. Also, we were missing out (esp my kids) were missing out lot of things happening in India, which they want to be a part of. Original idea was to stay in US for 10 years and go, only difference is now, we did spend that 10 years but still dont have our GC. Another important thing that we considered was , it becomes more difficult to take this decision when we have GC in hand because, as much as it helps to stay in US, it avoids us from leaving US too, and to wait for citizenship is another 5 years from that point, which could all take easily 6 years to the minimum from today. Thats why we wanted to make it easy on us, and do this now.
Looking back, would I re-do this GC process one more time - no, but am I happy to be a part of IV - you bet I am. Thats the bottom line.

There is no point in educating a mass of angry, frustrated EB3-I folks.
By preference (a LEGAL statute), EB1>EB2>EB3
For spillover (a LEGAL statute), EB1>EB2>EB3
EB1-I get their GCs in about a year.
EB2-I get their GCs in about 6 years.
EB3-I get their GCs in about 8 years.
SO WHAT IS THE BLOODY PROBLEM??? Wait your turn patiently like everyone else, or upgrade your skills and education to apply for EB2 jobs. Stop bitchin' and moanin' and trying to find shortcuts in life. There are none.
Please IGNORE I_Got_Skillz and lets continue healthy debate. We should not let person like this create distraction.

Congratulations dude.
What does the status say? "Approved", "Decision", "cards production ordered".. I heard the statuses change from Initial review to Decision, Cards ordered then Approved.
Just curios and keeping my fingers crossed for our case.

Thanks Lasantha for your reply. I am not sure if employer can call on my behalf and get an update on my application??. I did explain to my employer that to get an update I can call USCIS but they want an update from USCIS in writting to keep it on my employee file in the HR dept. I am not sure if USCIS will reply to the inquiry in writing or not. (I think by law, they have to, right??) what is the mailing address at NSC???
I filed for my I-485 myself without the help of a lawyer.
My employer (a small business) has never gone through the GC sponsorship before me and they are not familiar with the process.
I am not sure if a letter is going to help. I was going to suggest an SR but in your earlier post you said that your SR didn't work either. But if you are going to send a letter then I would suggest sending it to NSC. Your lawyer would have the address.
I also know that sometimes people write to their congressman asking him to look in to the case but I am not sure if that's a good idea.

I agree, titles like "H4 to H1", "Changing Employers", "Urgent question" etc. etc. will obviously be visited more.
May be a gentle reminder about contributions in other topics would help.
How sad it is that we don't get support from our own.
Yes, and the majority of the 8000 members can keep discussing other things. we only need 882 members like us. Lutherpraveen, I have hope that there are 872 people out there that are ready to contribute.

Wastage of H1 visas is criminal.There should be a quota on H1 visas per company-no more than 500-1000 per company,plus percentage limits of h-1 visas to total employees in a company.Along with this if there is a simple provision as there is in other countries like england,where the spouse can work too it will solve a lot of issues.
The self regulating nature of the market is the fundamental basis of this capitalist economy. There should ideally be no quota's for anything. The market will decide the ideal number of H1Bs. In 2007 when there are a lot of jobs, then a quota of 165K would also get filled up. In 2002/2003 when the quota was 165K, there were unused H1B visas. If you have a limit of 500 and a company already has 500 H1Bs and wants to come out with a new product and cant find non-H1 engineers, what should they do? Outsource? lay off some other H1s to stay within the quota?
If you do want to have a quota, then as someone said, H1Bs should be given out on some sort of points system based on experience+education+salary, instead of the lottery. Let the more 'valuable' candidate into the country.
Agree that spouses of H1Bs should be allowed to work, just like those of L1 etc.

I think your calculation is wrong. If there are 8742 applications then it should take less than 3 years not 5 years. In the 2nd case for 14583 applications the wait would be around 5 years instead of 10-12 years. This is due to the fact that every year around 3000 visas go to EB3 category. Though this is a long wait too so either way we need legislative fix for all the cases.
Have dependants been counted as part of the 8742 applicants - or are they just primary applicants?

You don't have a choice, as far as I know. If you're in NY, it has to go to Atlanta. I'm from NJ, went to Atlanta. Atlanta is very very slow. I've been waiting for three months now.
