We, the "aliens".
"Part of my frustration is to hear illegal immigrants called immigrants when I'm called an alien. I'm doing things right, but I'm still called an alien," ... "If I lose my job tomorrow, my reward is a ticket back home." Very true...
Most of my colleagues on L1/H1 visas went back upon completion of their 5/6 year terms, they never applied for GC. Couple of them are right now packing back.
The management of the company (not IT related) bravely decided to replace the "aliens" by american engineers. This proud decision had a disaterous consequence - our international based customers pulled back and found other contractors. Despite of all the money pumped to promote the "american" presence in the company, down-sizing is on its way and closure is on the horizon...
I was stupid enough to decide in 2003 to apply for a GC and to bear all this BS. Now working hard on plan B and waiting for the right moment.
Seriously considering plan B - Packing up.

Here are my thoughts about May visa Bulletin:
The severe retrogression of EB3 has nothing to do with EB1C (if at all this will affect something, that would be spill over to EB2). This severe retrogression is the result of "FBI name check backlog" being cleared up. We never had actual info as to how many of "super old" cases were pending due to this: Now that they have cleared it up over the past year, it seems to me that it used up most of the visa numbers for EB3 during this fiscal year. This is actually a good news for the people who were waiting for almost a decade, but not so good news for the recent filers.
The main uncertainty is: How many more visa numbers would be needed to actually finish this "name check backlog"...we simply don't know; hopefully not too many.
Impact of this on EB2 would be of similar magnitude and therefore, we can consider that this fiscal year got "almost completely chewed up" in clearing those name check cases. For EB2, actual impact wouldbe apparent (hopefully) in the last quarter when EB2 India an china will move toghether (if the dates are similar like last fiscal year; i.e. 2006, then we can say that it took "year worth of visa numbers" to fix the name check mess. At the same time, some of the effect would be due to EB1C, but I personally have serious doubt that it would have changed much compared to previous years (we will only come to know about EB1C impact once the year end stats will be out and if we see significant change in EB1 usage)..
In any case, "EB2 being current in one year" dream of VDLRAO will not come true (I personally supported this thought last year), mainly because of clearing of FBI name check backlog (which is actually a good thing). However, actual impact on EB2 will be clarified only once spill over starts to EB2 and dates of India and china move together.
Any additional thoughts would be welcome.
(PS: I do not know much about EB1C, and as I mentioned above, actual impact of it would be difficult to determine until the EB1 usage numbers come out, but I sincerely dont think it had anything to do with EB3 being unavailable so early).

as for logiclife...he has had "enough of flowery protests"...i'll leave the rest to your imagination ;)
I am actually very dissappointed with myself. In the post rally MC fluster, I had made a mental note to introduce Logiclife and then give him a flower. But I hear he strongly opposes measures such as this :)
I had also promised to get Macaca on the stage and write with colorful Sharpies on his forehead.
Its probably best I forgot both...

I truly believe, though IV's efforts can impact a little bit, they have to join other organizations to strengthen the efforts and results.
As I said before, IV should step up for EB3-I/C/ROW cause since policies seem to be working in favor of other EBs (which is good) but EB3 is stuck..
Here are some paths to consider.
1. IV has established relationships with some key politicians through the advocacy days, may be that channel can work
or
2. Allow interfiling with spouse
or
3. Allow folks to file I-485 for an approved I-140 even if the dates are not current
or
4. Have an endless EAD and AP (by endless I mean 5 years)
or
5. Recapture (Tie it to a bill...eg Zoe Lofgren or Feigngold will not sign Finance reform bill unless lost EB visas are recaptured). It will help EB2 folks as well. Give Feingold a call, he is voting no on Finance reform. May be he can kick in something for legal EB folks (similar to cornhusker) and may vote Yes and be the 60th vote.
What I suggest you guys to do is build upon these ideas above rather than destroy it or be sarcastic about it.

Today I have contacted Ron Gotcher and here is his response.
1. Begin by contacting the office of the Inspector General of the Department of Labor. That office is supposed to ferret out mismanagement and misconduct within the agency. With cases pending as long as they have been pending, something is clearly wrong.
2. If you get no response from the IG's office, next prepare a formal letter to the Secretary of Labor, asking for assistance.
3. If that doesn't work (though it should), next contact the chairs of the House and Senate immigration sub-committees and file formal complaints, requesting their help. If you include a large number of victims, this should impress them enough to contact the agency to find out what's going on and get it resolved.
And also Ron Gotcher ready to help us.
So please guys post your inputs and what can be done futher. Its a collective effort and have to help outselves. Here is the action plan.
1. Rather than every one sending separate letter, let us send only one letter and every one signed that.
2. Let us create one yahoo group, send all your infomation, Name and adress.
3. Draft a letter to OIG, attach all our information.
4. Based on the response let us decide our next move.
Your comments and inputs are more than welcome..

I wasn't born in a Hospital so they won't have a record.
I just spoke to someone at http://www.yourmaninindia.com/ and they informed me that Delhi doesn't issue Non-availability of birth record certificate.
Any other options?

Waiting is all we have been doing for so many years. I have been living separately from my wife for last 3 years. When I reached out to Pappu on IV, he refused to do anything for me. I am ready to come forward and talk to media but nobody is here to listen.
I am seriously considering some media awakening event these days, it might be suicide or whatever it takes but this DOS stupidity has to stop. Its affecting so many people's life. I agree GC is not a right that we can demand from US government but they can't treat us like this after investing so many productive years for this Economy.
I am also thinking of organizing an event around where I live which would me media spotlight. Legal immigrants like us esepcially EB folks need to be in news by doing something special(organizing a food drive for homeless, offering thrash cleaning in some place around .. etc,summary is volunteer in groups)
BTW no one thinks we are investing time here. We are paid for what we do, the matter ends there.

NOT TRUE.
It depends on how many applications were filed that had priority dates before the Retrogressed Date (22 APR 01, 01 AUG 02, Etc).
If there were no big volume of applications before this date, then the USCIS is out of work as it relates to the I-485 applications processing. Thats when they move the date forward to allow more applications with later priority dates come to the processing desk.
My two cents.
I agree with Prolegalimmi. And, thats exactly what I was telling all along. The dates have to move.

And in the spirit of this thread, let me tell you, chanduv23 can talk about things besides IV too! During our drive to DC, ps57002 and I were successful in distracting his verbal barrage from immigration, USCIS, IV and have him tell us ghost stories--thus was our introduction to Rajnikanth's "Chandramukhi" :)
