`Sec. 245B. (a) In General- The Secretary of Homeland Security may adjust the status of an alien to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence if the alien--
`(1) was physically present in the United States for a continuous period of not less than 5 years immediately preceding the date on which this provision was enacted and has maintained continuous physical presence since then.
This if i am reading and understanding right may not be too bad. Let me kow if i am missing anything......
I think its only 1 time amnesty to all aliens who were present 5 years from date of enactment of this law, if it becomes a law.

My understanding was that once the 485 is filed, you go by RD. It doesn't matter what your PD is...
Does anyone know what the legislation is?
I don't think so. Your PD is still relevent. Only those people whose PD is current will get their GCs no matter what the RD is.

The request by a fellow boarder to lower the contribution to $10 month is just so unfortuante. This tells us how badly we want our GC's. You are right Janak, even I am not sure whether to laugh or cry when something like this comes across.
But CanadianIndian I give you credit for bringing this thing out as I am sure there are many more who would be thinking of that magical number or may be even less (God, still bless IV)

As per my understanding there is nothing much USCIS can do in terms of creating laws since that is what only Congress can do. Only thing that CIS can do is efficiently use the 140K visa numbers allocated. So the only issue for backlogged folks is how CIS uses the spill over numbers. Till 2007 these visa numbers went to EB3 but we still see that Eb3 is struck in 2001 levels. Where as just one year of giving it to EB2 moved them to 2006 and then brought back to 2004 levels. I feel the only help of EB3 is recapture of visa # or removal of country limits anything else will fall short of any help needed.

I am glad that some EB2 guys can empathise with us....EB3(I) is completely hopeless....but I doubt if IV will take this up...even a small admin fix like applying the spillover to EB3 this year...that will take away some stress on the EB3(I) pipeline....
No matter whether you are in EB2 or EB3, if you lose job then you are going back to stone age. So we are all in the same boat. The only hope is to fix the leak.

Why do you think Diwali is only for Indians ? It has been recognized by US as a national festival just last week. It okay to deviate from norm sometimes. We will make sure there are wishes given for each festival. Festivals are meant to showcase culture and bring people together.
Happy Eid, Happy christmas ,Happy Hanukah in Advance.
We know we are working together for a cause. Stop the negative energy and increase postiive energy with the Festival of lights.
Happy diwali to all (Not just Indians )
msgs like this help establish the notion that this is an indian website dedicated to indian immigration issues. I didnt see any post wishing happy Eid/ Eid Mubarak nor did I notice last year that anyone wished a Merry Christmas/ Happy Holidays, nor do we wish our Chinese friends a Happy Chinese New Year.

A# is assigned during I-140 approval process. Unless you get an approved I-140 from your employer it is difficult to get the A#. BTW, I didnt knew my A# so I just left that field blank and sent I-140 Tracking number instead.

what kind of attitude is this. If he/she is eligible to apply they should apply.
Sorry!If it was rude!!No offence meant...Me thinks it is more of a pain than gain!!Like what if your 485 gets approved b4 u file for your spouse's...There are still solutions as much as problems!!It would only benefit guys who are desperate for EAD but then again if you have your I-140 cleard and with serious retrogressions expected you could still get 3 year H1B extensions!!!

You mean to say sell US real estate for GC/citizenship? I don't see this going very far. I can see anti immigrants waiting for this one. Best is to lobby using aides of big corporations, developing relationship with lobbyists who already have connections, hiring lawyers, developing strong case, donations in election campaigns etc. All of this needs loads and loads of money. Are we ready to donate to IV and build strong lobbying group for our cause? That is the only way to change our current situation.
Sending flowers, sending pizzas, sending all these proposals will only fall on deaf ears. Congress understands language of money to pass laws, Rest of the country/orgranizations understand language of laws/court.
For those who think assisting US economy by buy houses (for pending GC applicants) is like selling a GC are just plain dumb! No wonder why we dont have a resolution to the 10 yr waiting that's been killing EB immigrants, is because ppl like you, who love to take pain want others to live through this for the lifetime.
People have been waiting for 10+ years here waiting to get GC, waiting patiently, waiting so patiently that we are getting mentally sick waiting and waiting. How do u think the quota system is ..its not fair in the first place for EB immigrants when we are already here on H/L visas... . So dude pls stop ur bull shit and dont discourage by coming up with ridiculous statements "You mean to say sell US real estate for GC/citizenship?"
We the prospective, EB immigrants want to settle here. Its more than a home here already if you are living and paying taxes for 10+ years.. We just want to buy a house and a permanent visa status is only going to help. Its a win-win situation for both sides....
We are not looking them to sell GC for houses to ppl who are residing outside. This is a relief mechanism for ppl who are waiting and waiting and just plain waiting here in the EB queue!
Ok.. now go and think..do u enjoy pain or want to do anything about it!
I would strongly urge IV to take this and would be willing help and have a dialogue with any state/congress representative they want me to.... How do u think it wont' fly. US govt is spending and bailing out trillions of dollars to help cure this cause. If we buy houses, it is only going to help the cause. Most of us have good credit score and can afford to buy houses, this will only help the very thing that the govt. is trying to stabilize.
I'm surprised, how come IV is not aggressively pursuing this. What better way to help everyone here. If they want to address the fundamental issues they certainly can, but this the immediate focus and like quota recapture, will provide immediate relief to decades long wait for applicants!
So pls stop disparaging the effort. Its a good cause for both sides.
We want to be a permanent resident and contribute to US economy. So help us god!

Lately i see a lot of new members coming up in the forum, with lots of questions about their problems that they are facing. And lots of good hearted IV members also give their diligent answers for them. One hand I am glad IV is getting new members, on the other hand i am wondering where were these members all these days.
Please don't get me wrong, As much as I like new members joining in the forum to get answers for their questions, I also would expect them to take part in any the activities or initiatives that IV is undertaking. Therefore I urge, every new member to volunteer in the IV activities and be an active member of IV and be a participating member, so that IV helps you and you help IV. Having said that, new members, WELCOME TO IV, post your questions and I am sure you will get good answers from many good hearts in IV.

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.
We have been watching VBs ever since Jan 2005 when priority dates were added.

My PD and category is correct. I'll correct everything else.
Thanks xyzgc, maybe we can team up to request others to add correct data. It will help us all. What say?

This Tracker facility we have in IV is good. Kudos to the Admin team who implemented this thing.
These are my observations. I could be grossly mistaken. Pardon me if I am wrong.
There are approximately 26,000 people who have put in their priority dates and other such data in the tracker. When I compared similar cases, I got some 265 who were EB3 India with a priority date in 2002. That is approximately 1 %, give or take.
Here I have ignored EB3 India 2001 guys. But that number would be very less I believe.
1% of 400k is 4000 which is what USCIS issues GC for EB3 India in a year.
Does that mean I could get my GC this year.
Hope these numbers are right.

maybe some day in the not too distant future, when the days of bonded H-1b labor end, a person who has lost time and passed up opportunites can actually go to a court and sue DOL and USCIS for damages and opportunity costs.
Not only the opportunity costs, there are real costs also. My salary is frozen because I reached highest possible in my current role. Till I get the Greencard, I will be loosing real money.
