I agree with you. Next week we will see the bulletin and then some people will be elated if their predictions come right and some will be disapointed. Again in 20 days we will start a new thread for Oct bulletin and FY 2010. I guess it is just that we are keeping alive our hopes.
Very true!

in the long run, it is going to be extremely BAD/HARD for skilled immigrants..
I couldn't confirm it but from what I understand, the dual intent will no longer be valid on H1 ie A H1-B holder cannot have an immigrant intent. Does that mean, they cannot file for a GC, while on H1? Also, as consulting would be severely restricted, how many of the H1s will be able to find Full-Time Jobs?
As we read more into the Bill, the 'hidden' intent is becoming clear..
Restrictions & more Restrictions..
My dear friend this statement that you made is BS. Pls read the bill draft carefully, actually they have added dual intent to even F1 in some catagories. They have not taken dual intent off H1b visas. Our major killer is however the restrictions imposed for extension beyond 6 years. We need the employer's recomendation + >365 days pending 140. I dont know whether one of these would suffice or whether both would be needed??? Otherwise it looks not VERY bad, but bad.

There has been time check used to be payable to:
U.S. Department of Homeland Security - USCIS
Now at some places it is shortened to:
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
And at other places it is shortened to:
USCIS
I think, they are interchangeable.
On USCIS site: Fees should be made payable to Department of Homeland Security or U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. refer to first dotted instruction of http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.eb1d4c2a3e5b9ac89243c6a7543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD
It does not talk about putting US in front of Department of Homeland Security. Going exactly by USCIS instructions, lawyer did mistake - but it is OK.
Look at the PDF file for I-765 and I-131 Instructions from USCIS website (Checkout page 8)
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-131instr.pdf
Here is the relevant info from the USCIS instructions:
Use the following guidelines when you prepare your check or
money order for the Form I-765 fee:
1. The check or money order must be drawn on a bank or
other financial institution located in the United States
and must be payable in U.S. currency; and
2. Make the check or money order payable to U.S.
Department of Homeland Security, unless:
A. If you live in Guam and are filing your petition
there, make it payable to Treasurer, Guam.
B. If you live in the U.S. Virgin Islands and are filing
your petition there, make it payable to
Commissioner of Finance of the Virgin Islands.

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?
It DOES matter what your PD is. USCIS apparently does process FIFO according to your Receipt date - BUT ONLY IF YOUR PRIORITY DATE IS CURRENT will you get a visa number assigned (i.e. approval of said greencard).
I say guestimate, because in reality - its all speculation, because not even USCIS knows how many current applications they have. I'd have to say it is more like 1 million pending applications.
Don't assume that your PD being "old" helping at all. Let's play a quick hypothetical game...
Picking some numbers (and I think I'm being REALLY conservative here). Say there are 40k EB applicants from India a year.
Let's even say that 10K of them are EB3 (inc dependents). EB3 India PD as of April this year was May 2001.
So... a PD of 05 means that there are 40k EB3 India applicants in front of you. That alone, and not including EB1 and EB2 that come before EB3 category, is about 4 years quota of greencards.
I'm ROW, EB3, PD 2004 and AOS was filed June 2007 (I got stuck at BEC for sometime) - my situation is comparatively ROSY compared to other nationalities with a similar PD - but I anticipate that I'LL be lucky to wait 3 more years. You can bet if ROW with early 04 will take about that time, India will take YEARS longer.
And that is why I'm here, telling everyone to stand up and go to DC.
Without significant change, it will be a LONG LONG wait still, despite the security of AOS being filed. Can you wait 3 years longer for a decent promotion, or change of career? How about 5, 7 or 10 years? I can't - so I'm flying 3000 miles to be in DC :)

First we need to consider why you need life insurance
--- to pay for your death
or
---- to take care of your dependants in the event of your untimely death.
Considering all this all financial advisors (the ones not working on comission) recomend getting at least 10 times your salary for the working spouse and 0 for non-working spouse and none for children. You may want to buy some insurance for non-working spouse if they are the primary home care provider for kids and you will incur child care expenses in case of untimely death.
The other part of their recommendation is that buy level term for the period you anticipate taht you will be working. This ensures that you pay the same premium throughout the period of policy, you dont get anything back ever, though the beneficiaries will get the benefit if you die before the term expires.
The cost of these plans for a healthy person between ages 25-35 is around $20-40 a month.
A lot of people push whole life insurance but you dont really need a whole life insurance anyways, and the investment component comes with huge cost, same with universal life insurance.
I know a lot of people will diagree with the views presented here but these are based on several advisors that dont make money off of their recommendations. I just happen to agree and if you choose to disagree that is just your point of view and I respect your decision, so please dont start arguing with me.

I agree with both the ideas.
In fact the idea of the banner with 'Waiting for X years' is fantastic ..
That would be an amazing sight where everyone holds placards that say since when they have been waiting.
If it's even 400 people .. we have 400 people saying look we've been waiting since 5,7 or 9 years.
It's also important to get in heavyweights like either local folks like Google HR head or any public face. Google has always supported the Immigration issues .. since they have problems because they couldn't hire folks when the h1 lottery happenned.

vivache,
Thanks for the good ideas.
Can you PM me your ph# so we can chat. It would be great if you can take on this action item of organizing rally at the company campus you work for, it is pretty respectable company and I know this because I cover the semiconductor space. I think your example will inspire others to conduct a similar event at their campuses.
Please let me know what help you need from me.

According to the report, there are 100K to 150K applications pending to be processed (guessing PD is current and hence includes dependents) and 500k to 750k applications expected if PD becomes current. If we assume 2.1 dependents on an average, this comes to 1M - 1.5M applications if PD is current. So is the total 1.1M - 1.65M? Does that sound right?

I think what ever step we take has to be organized and inclusive of all groups. It is not like last year EB2 pulled out a smart trick to receive the spill over. I mean they were all suprised & shocked to see dates go forward as were other folks on this forum. So trying to unite Eb3 by kind of blaming Eb2 or Chinese or ROW or for that matter anybody will not be very productive. Remember we are facing immigration opponents who are well organized, united and well funded. They have years of experience in lobbying and using media to their advantage. We are a tiny minority and if we further fracture it besed on nationality or category of filing all we will do is weaken our case further. We should focus our efforts for EB reforms across all categories and I think the best way is to follow the direction of the IV leadership on this isssue.

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.....................
.......!
Change the language and target too. I am thinking to draft a letter to send Home Builder Assoc and Car companies that I am not able to buy Home and Car because I am not getting loan. I need a car and home as I am paying rent every month around 1500. I am willing to pay 25% down and have credit score more than 700. No any kind of violation. Paied off first car loan. I am experienced enough to find another job in such bad economy. The only thing that I dont have is GC for which I am waiting for last 8 years. If I get GC probably I will get good loan faster and cheaper. If you lobby for us for GC probably not only me many other immigrant will get loans.
Never ever mention that it will improve economy.
Waiting for comments.

After you wait for 7-8 years in your category for your visa your thougths will change. I have MS from an american university + work experience. Our lawyer decided to file EB3 in 2001, they convinced the company that EB3 is easier to get approved. i am still waiting for my GC, in the mean time i have gained a lot of experience, i am still an EB3 for USCIS. There are many in a similar position.
People talk about unethical practices etc. i feel that they ones who jumped the queue and used agressive lawyer already have their green cards. Most of my friends are already thinking about citizenship (and ROI after USC..that is a different forum :)).
Its people working in multinational companies who follow the law by the book are the ones who get screwed, its just my observation and opinion ..good or bad, i dont know...
When there is a overflow, I strongly feel that it should flow to all the categories and that is called equality. Some inefficient people in Decision making authority at USCIS framed a rule on visa overflow and they are following it. If the rule is not much logical/ethical to most of the people, then anyone can voice their rights against it.
Just for example, a team consists of one project manager(EB1), two tech leads(EB2) and 6 Developers(EB3). The demand is based on no. of vacancies exists on the market, that means a lot of EB3, less EB2 and few EB1.
As per this rule, USCIS is not actually feeding the hungry.
Regarding the country quota, US is not favoring/helping the foreign countries by giving GC to those people from them. So, it makes no sense at all when it comes to immigrants but I can understand the bureaucracy behind it.
If they are implementing the country limit then it should be like 0.00001% of that country's population, I feel.
