Getting HR 5882 / S 3414 (recapture bills) through congress is the only hope for EB3's.
Changing the spillover will not help EBI because in both the spillover interpretations EB3I is the last in the chain. The only reason EB3I benefited from earlier spillover interpretations was because there weren't any ripe EB2-I cases available and it spilled over to EB3I. Reverting to the old spillover interpretation will not benefit EBI but sure it will benefit EB3-ROW.
Let us focus on getting the recapture bills through. Call u'r congressman/senator and start pushing for the recapture bill. EB3I has been benefited until now because of the AC21 recapture. Now it is time for another recapture.

Particularly elimination of LC substitution and elimination of concurrent 140 & 485 are good things to come in the forseeable future.
Also, another Damn thing that INS should do, check the PayStubs and W2 forms for all the people and should check with IRS on that to eliminate the another class of people who are just faking about everything, everything and becoming liable on this GC and creating a freaking mess and becoming example or providing direction to lot many others following their model.
If this stops, yes, our waiting times decrease. I can say one, Our own Indian mentality is causing Quueues in this process
We need to change.

I dont understand how organizations like DOS , USCIS can do such
Ping-pong childish things in their official website.
Save us God !
It is sure something internally happening in DOS and USCIS on this mess. They are Scared of consequences and so trying to cover all loopholes.

I agree with mpadapa,albertpinto and other folks.
US is going to gain something.
- We are staying in the apartment more than 8-9 years, we want to live in the own house but we cannot buy a house.
- We have some idea and we want to implement it but we cannot do it.
- We want to send our kids in the private school but we are sending in the public school and charted school.
- We want to go for MBA/Higher education on own expense but we cannot do it.
- We want to buy 57-60 inch LCD TV and other luxorious items but We cannot buy it.
- We want to go on the Vacation/Home country but we cannot go.(Visa restriction for people whose H1 is expired or working on the EAD)
Money is required for all above items. Each item will give at least micro level boost up to the US economy. But without GC we cannot spend/invest our hard earned money. Because we don't know what is going to happen of our status tomorrow.
Another most important things, when we came to this country most of us were mid twenties and now most of us are mid thirties. We earned money but we gave best of time of our life to this country.
I would like to share some real life experiences from my friends so that we can debate the questionable topic of what America is losing by prolonging immigration benefits.
1) Friend A – (Current status - H1B) Came to US in 1999 for his higher education and later joined a Fortune 500 company on H1b. In early 2006, he quit and started a consulting company with his GC friend and transferred his H1 to the same company. He applied for his I-140+I-485 during the July fiasco and got his I-140 approved in May 2008. Currently there are 15 employees working for his company and the annual revenues stand at around $1 million. He is also planning to start offshore operations in the near future.
2) Friend B – (Currently in India) – Came to US during the Y2K era and later joined a Fortune 500 company as a consultant on H1B and immediately purchased a 3 bedroom home. He stayed in one of the rooms and leased the other 2 rooms to his friends and used the rental income towards mortgage payment. Four years later he sold his home for a hefty profit, left for India and started an offshore consulting company.
3) Friend C – (Current Status - TN) – Came to US during the Y2K era on L1 through a top MNC from India. Since his employer wasn’t sponsoring his GC, he applied for Canadian PR and got the same by 2003. He relocated to Canada, got his citizenship and joined a Fortune 500 company in US on TN visa. He’s not bothered about US GC at all as his Canadian passport provides unrestricted visa free access to 125 countries around the world.
4) Friend D – (Current Status – H1B) – Currently works for a Fortune 500 company as a consultant on H1B. He lives in a posh apartment and drives a Mercedes C class sport sedan though his GC process is not even initiated.
5) Friend E - (Current Status - US GC holder) - Came to US during the Y2K era and got his GC in 2003. Currently lives in a single bedroom apartment with his wife/kids and is known for frugal life style in spite of living in US for almost 10 years. So much is his frugality that he postponed purchasing a $500 worth laptop for many months so that he could save money towards his India trip. He still drives a late 90’s run down Honda Civic.
6) Friend F - (Current Status - US Citizen) - Came to US during the Y2K era and got his GC in 2002 and US citizenship in 2007. Currently earns close to $100K, but still lives in a single bedroom apartment with a frugal life style. As far as I know he had never washed his car (late 90’s Honda) and avoids eating out.
7) Friend G - (Current Status - US Citizen) - Came to US during the Y2K era and got his GC in 2002 and US citizenship in 2007. He purchased a 3 bedroom home even when his I-485 was pending and currently lives a normal life style just like many of us and plans to retire in India.
Hence the underlying fact is that, there’s no relationship between a person’s immigration status and his/her contribution to America and it’s crazy to believe that people will go on a spending spree or start companies as soon as they receive GC’s.
BTW I’ve got a Home Theater at my apartment and my current status is H1B with pending I-140 + I-485 :)

That is not true, my lawyer who is very influential and he has some good contacts he told me that this year spill-over would be different form last year. I was stupid so didn�t believe him about July 2007, and paying it for now for not having EAD.
I know this is hard to believe especially if something comes from lawyer.
Looks like MDix is making fun of EB3-I bcoz current law doesn't allow any spillover for EB3-I category. Damn you MDix.
Thank's

there were 144,000 PERM's done between oct 2006- march 2007
india, china have retro for both EB2 and EB3
mexico, philippines and bunch of other countries have retro for EB3
PERM is only for the Primary applicant. For I-485 every dependent of Primary applicant needs one separate application
Considering all these 750,000 I-485 filings in next 1 month sounds a reasonable estimate.
Many who had labor pending under the old system, applied in PERM also. So it is 144k minus duplicates. But, I have no idea know many are duplicates

Hello All,
Some food for thought.
As I understand we (i.e IV) has 21000 members and 14000 active members. If even each active member contrubute $ 20 per month, that would be $ 420,000 per month or about $ 5 Mn per year.
Imagine the miracles that we can do with that kind of fund!! And I am damn sure that we can afford $ 20 per month. Cost of few gallons of gas per month.
Non contributing, active members! Please wake up atleast now and do some soul searching!!!

Gandhigiri approach is going to be the best approach for this if we do it in the right way.
Our cause, which is going to benefit us and our families only, are not going to invoke sympathy from any average americans.No matter how good a scientist,physician,software engineer you are, the educated americans understand that but not average american. So no wonder, that some politicians and business interest groups appreciate our presence but others simply do not care because it does'nt affect them.
So we have to prove ourselves in various fields and make ourselves visible and indispensible to the local communities, state and the country.
How are we going to do it? I do not know! Here I do need brainstorming ideas. May be doctors can provide free health care to people without health insurance and donate some free time. We have to think of various other strategies. Like creating local food banks etc.
I do not think we can coordinate such efforts in such a large scale so it's not going to happen.

It is tricky. The intent can be proved only by how long the employee has worked for sponsor. If he/she worked considerable period (lets say for 2-3 years in non-immigrant visa (H.L,E) before filing 485 and worked for about 1 year after filing 485) then, it is very easy for the employee to prove his/her intent to have a permanent employment relationship with sponser, if employer try to revoke 140 based on the fact that employee does not have intent. The longivity of the employment relationship with sponser is a great proof. Some people are abusing (by misguidence of few lawyers, as they claim GC is for future job) AC21, without even working for single day with sponser, trying to get GC. USCIS may be controlling that kind of abuse.
One historical background reason for AC21 is that, in 2000, even though all catagories are "current", INS was very slow in approving 485. The delay for approval of 485 in year 2000 is caused by USCIS poor customer service. It took atleast 2 years for 485 approval, though the visa numbers were continously available for the entire 2 years. Therefore, the AC21 is an incentive for USCIS delay.
Now, if the visa numbers are continously available (for example EB1, EB2-ROW) USCIS is approving 485 within 6 months, except july 07 fiasco surge. So now AC21 users are only those who suffers in retrogression, not by USCIS administartive delay. That may be the another reason why USCIS becoming hard on AC21.
I understand what you say but interpretation differs from IO to IO. It still goes to chances....
