We all know this EB3-EB2 game is total non-sense and unjust.
So many extra-ordinary people who could/should have been in EB2 are in EB3 simply because : corporate lawyer filed in wrong category, they did not want to work for a desi employer who would file in EB2 in exchange for a lot of things, they did not want to buy an approved labor and create fake experience certs/affidavits, or for various other family/job realated reasons which have nothing to do with his/her education/skills/experience.
At the same time, a lot of street smart people got their EB2 labor/I140 approved while they worked at gas stations.
In my opinion all IT professionals, MBA's, Lawyers, Doctors and all other BE/Btech/ME/MTech engg. should be in SAME category (EB2 or EB3). The only people who should be in a preferred category are the scientists who are actually working as research scientists for a govt or non-profit organization (not just anyone who bought a PhD from Dhanabad University for Rs 15000).
If there must be EB2 vs. EB3 then it should be based on a well-defined, measurable and well followed criteria, for example a aptitude/IQ test, interview/GD, there are many other ways to cover all types of talents.
There is already a preferred category for research scientists worth their salt: EB1 with NIW. What's there to say that an IQ test / aptitude test cannot be gamed?
EB2 vs EB3 already has a well defined criteria: job requirements. You could be a Ph.d from a hot-shot university, but may not be able to perform or may not be as valuable to a company as somebody with BS/MS with x yrs of work related experience.
Also if you are truly extraordinary, then it should be a cinch to scale up the corporate ladder and apply for a green card when you've reached a position that can qualify as EB2. No: you want to have your cake and eat it too: i.e. get an early PD and also apply in a faster (is it really now?) category. Can't sympathize with that.

IV is the only group that is trying something for EB gc's!!! If you don't agree with IV mission statement - least you can do is SHUT UP! If you have other selfish agenda's take them some place else... don't use IV as a platform to segregate a group.
(In my personal opinion... IV should BAN anyone who suggests anything that breaks this group down! Enough is ENOUGH!)
____________________________
Mission Statement
The mission of Immigration Voice is to organize grassroots efforts and resources to solve several problems in the employment based green card process including (a) delays due to Retrogression (visa number unavailability for certain employment-based categories) (b) delays due to USCIS processing backlogs and (c) delays due to Labor Certification backlogs. We will work to remove these and other flaws by supporting changes to immigration law for high-skilled legal employment-based immigrants. High-skilled legal immigrants strengthen the United States' economy and help maintain American technological superiority.

P.S sorry for the rant - but some of the threads are really disappointing... EB2 vs EB3, Masters vs Non-masters....

Instead of asking for more bread, we are fighting ferociously for the scraps like dogs!
It was estimated by Compete America that if the last CIR had passed there would have been more than 500,000 visa numbers recaptured ( don't ask me for the math, I didn't come up with this number). Assuming that the Nurses took away a chunk of it, we still would have a big chunk to statify Eb3, Eb3, ROW, India, China etc. etc. And the nurses are going to walk away with a big chunk folks - whether we like it or not - because we are fighting each other like dogs for the scraps of the spillover, while they will come up well organized and walk away with the cake.
Our disunity, lack of long-term vision, lack of action is our biggest weakness. We will not win unless we fight this together.
Agreed but this should be from both the side.

I am on the same boat. My 485 was approved on 8/6 but no card yet. I have opened an SR. My approval notice says that I should receive my card within 3 weeks but the automated message at USCIS as well as the customer rep there says that I should wait for 60 days. I insisted on opening the SR since the approval notice clearly says I need to contact USCIS if I did not have my card within 3 weeks. I was told that I would get a response within 30 days for my SR.

Google for something called "Follow to Join", if you were single then why did you apply for 485? Atleast you could have withdrawn teh application if you had applied by mistake....
But for follow to join i think there is a clause that the person should be married before 485 gets approved, meaning the primary applicant did not add spouse to 485 and his 485 gets approved or the wife does not have 485 approval then they can use follow to join.
But do speak to an attorney if follow to join can be applicable in your case (i remember reading some 60 day limit or so) but please confirm and act accordingly.
Otherwise only other option you have is to get married and bring your spouse on any other visa like h1b or so.
Dontworry my friend speak to a good attorney they may advice what to do.
Yes, Follow to Join applies only if married before I-485 approval. I am in the same boat, and stuck in EB3-I category.

I know this topic has been discussed in other threads as well and those threads got buried over the Period of time but this is getting beyond limit now - let me know if anyone has any good idea or if we can do anything together......
My PD is EB3 Mar 2005 and my 140 is applied in EB3 May 2007. at NSC (Nebraska) Its been 13 months and no signs of movement and no one is helping . Here what I did on a personal level and here is what i heard.
a) Contacted USCIS - they said contact employer/lawyer because they are the beneficiary.
b) Contacted Lawyer - they said 'Pls wait for some more time' & then ask employer.
c) Contacted Employer - they said that we can't push lawyers unless your case is passed 2 months from Processing Date update.
d) Contacted Local Congressman - Told them that the Processing Date update is a farce and USCIS (NSC) moves them back n forth just to save their Face. This is really unfair for a certain category of peoples. They took my case no. and inquired and then said that since you have a parallel H1B and a job - we would wait. If your existence in US comes on the Line then we will Jump in and help you. We are sorry but we can't really expedite unless a emergency comes.
Now tell me folks what other options we all have - NSC is just messing with EB3 140. Whatever is the workload this can not happen. Do we still have some options to work on (apart from sitting idle and pray) ?

Webfax to push Brownback Amendment.
Friends,
The bill will be passing the Senate soon, and most likely be finalized and voted on Thursday.
Please bear in mind, that immigration voice DOES HAVE alternate ways to get the amendments into the final text of the bill if both Cornyn and Brownback's amendment are not floored and voted in this final lap of the debate. So please be patient and please have faith.
In order to give one more push to this amendment, we urge you to send a webfax support Brownback Amendment. Its is under the webfax menu as webfax Number 15.
Please enter your real name,(full name) and your address, phone etc on the webfax before sending it. With a few clicks, your webfax will go to all 100 senators therby generating support for this amendment.
Thanks.
Jay.
I do appreciate the full intentions of our admin in asking us to send faxes,
While these discussions are going on, if we send faxes - would it draw attention to a few hundred of them ? . Certainly worth the try, without loosing anything.
(2) - I also feel that Sending it to Cornyn, Spectre, in addition may help via faxes to remind them of our problems.
(3) - I do understand that the admins have a plan to get some relief via backdoor as the admin posted in case legal immigratns donot get a significant relief in the present form as posted just now, do you really think this is feasible ? would not we bypass the senate ?

Finally I gave a thought to all this GC business and I am planning to start my Canadian PR too, here are my questions :
1. Does anybody know of any good immigration cunsulting company for Canadian PR processing ?
2. How much would be the total cost to get it done throught the consulting services ?
3. Are there any hidden costs which these companies tell you at the end and try to rip you ?
Thanks

An IV core member is going to be helping you to fix this with USCIS. Let us know if you need help. He already tried contacting you yesterday.
As IV grows maybe this is a help IV can extend to all its donor members and help them if they get in such extreme distress situations. This is one of the ideas we are thinking for our members in the donor group.
Pappu and core...
This shows how committed IV to help a fellow member. Keep this alive. you are real leader to me now.
I did donate in the past and I did NOT become Donor when IV created donor forum, BUT...... Your open support to "Drifter" made me to become donor. I subscribed to IV now and this is my way of saying thank you to IV.

Exactly.
Chances are Obama never even saw your letter, his office has an aide who has a saved format of this letter which is printed out with your name and adressed.
But keep writing and keep calling. They might listen.
Its called a form-letter.
The staff writes those.
They use the same letter and change the name and address of the constituent and copy-paste the generic position on immigration.
That is the reason you are seeing a letter that casts a wide net on immigration issues, like border security, illegals, etc. etc. The staff would send out the same letter to all constituents who are writing for or against immigration or any issue related to immigration.
All lawmakers have staff who repond to communication from constituents and 99% of the time, you get a form-letter response...the one-size-fits-all letter. The audacity of form-letters. ;)
