There are total 27 EB3-I approvals on since Oct'2008. In 6 months, only 27 approvals is not a good number.
Does anybody know why USCIS is not touching EB3-I aggressively and are we close to using all EB3-I for this year already?
Thanks.
Yes 27 EB3-I approvals seems pretty low. Hopefully DOS would move EB3-I cut off date in May.

I've had some pilot training, so I'll chip in.
All commercial planes have advanced information of a thunderstorm way before it arrives. Most of the airlines/pilots take a detour to avoid it. That increase expense (extra fuel cost/arrival delay, passenger compensation, delay in subsequent flights, etc.). So, the chepo airlines will take a shot at simply going through it. Risk for a big modern plane is very very small but non-zero. An airline making a decision based on costs instead of ethics will pressurize captains to go through such storms.
The lesson is simple: avoid AF. You'll have to be an idiot to fly it or a cheap airlines like that.
A meteorologist who spoke to the Associated Press said tropical thunderstorms in the Atlantic could tower up to 15,240m (50,000ft).
"At the altitude it was flying, it's possible that the Air France plane flew directly into the most charged part of the storm - the top," said Henry Margusity, senior meteorologist for AccuWeather.com.
from http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8078147.stm
why the heck do they fly over or into the storm??
Are the airlines risking people lives just to save cheap dollars??
It is unethical of AF to blame bad weather. You need to differentiate here - turbulence is okay, thunderstorms?? what the heck.. why would a commercial airlines fly into a thunderstorm

Consider sending mail on the following lines to Senators and whoever that matters :
I am very glad to know that you are going to introduce a bill to help retain American Tecohnology Competitiveness termed as SKIL BILL. In regards to that I would request you to kindly consider adding to this bill a provision of awarding Green Card to skilled workers who have been in this country for six years legally and continuosly? There is something similar to this in UK immigration laws and this provision will automatically reduce the plight of the "silent minority" who have to wait for years for their Green Card approval and not able to change jobs etc. For senior professionals with many years of experience this is a very frustrating experience and since the whole process drags on for years many of them are forced to leave this country because they cannot take long term investment decisions when the future is always so uncertain.
Having a provision of automatically awarding Green Cards to H1B visa holders who have been here for more than 6 years and have applied for a Green Card will have the following positive results: - Lower the workload for the Immigration Services and streamline the process. The fact that someone has been here for 6 years legally and paid their taxes should entitle them for a "express checkout".
- Give a boost to economy (housing etc) as the professionals with Green Card can make investment decisions.
- Will not displace American Workers as the Green Card is awarded to professionals who are allready here and working for last 6 years or more.
- Most importantly it will retain American competitiveness by retaining the experienced professionals who will otherwise go back because of the very long wait for their Green Card approval.

Yes that is true. They are lobbying strongly for H1b though they are supporting GC increases. Actually with H1b you can stay unlimited years if you apply gc. So there is no urgency for corporations to resolve the issue. They do not have fear of losing you as you are going to stay in USA until you get green card
You are right, but they do have some or may be a little more interest in the GC process too.
1) Because they are paying a lot of money to these consultant companies which they want to reduce.
2)Come to wall street, you will see so many consultants that are needed here to keep this economy running. A high number of H1-B will definitly reduce the price but still they will not get what they want meaning a permanent employee on a lesser pay. Tech companies cannot hire a person permanently because he is stuck with his employer who has filed his GC.
The companies cant continue to pay a lot to these consultanting companies.
Secondly this country should attract good brains, who might not want to come here. Believe me my friends in india are happy there and do not want to come here. They are living in there own homes with families, enjoying every part of our indian culture and are happy.
If nothing really works out here I will be looking out for an oppurtunity back home.

It's true that Democrats tend to be pro immigrants a bit. However, most of their backers are labor unions, which obviously don't want to see any more labor here, legal or illegal.
How will these forces play out on the floor is anybody's guess. We've seen how a Republican congress works. Let's see how a democratic congress will. I'm just a little bit hopeful... same as 12 monts ago... not more... not less.

I dont mean to discourage folks here...
But here is what I have seen more often with MBA. Techies like programmers, business analysts in IT sector have done their MBAs from good schools and ended up doing the same job EVEN WITH GREENCARDS.
I have seen GC holders doing MBA and then after finishing MBA ending up with same job description with a 5% increase in pay.
So please do your research in HOW MBA is going to help you in your situation. Your job and your INTENDED JOB POST MBA may not really need you to have an MBA. And I have seen this way too often. So think before you pluck down 30,000 dollars on a degree that might do little benefit financially after you complete it.

stucklabor,
I hope you are right and I am wrong. So, "special handling"
cases do not go through labor certification at all. Do professors have to go through "special handling" labor certification?
If you are right then it means that an advanced degree holder in STEM from a US school with 3 years of prior US experience will be able to apply for I-140 and I-485 right away.
Thanks for clarifying.
PD, please read my post above which you quoted more carefully. "Special handling" cases do go through labor cert, only they get faster better treatment. I am not sure of the rule of University Profs, refer to the post chain that I and Appu did earlier on this thread. I think Univ Profs don't do recruitment twice as is the case for the normal junta. They can use the recruitment results from when they first interviewed. But if they are not going the outstanding researcher route, they do have to undergo labor cert.

If you read the postings in this thread itself you would be surprised to see that some consider this as controversial. You are not writing your life off just because you married a H1B visa holder. It also happens that majority of H4 holdes are woman and hence unable to express their views. - a perfect case of lack of visibility.
What makes it intuitively obvious that an H-4 visa holder cannot express their views just because they are a woman?
H-4 visa holders can seek a change of visa. If you want to work, do so instead of relying on the H-1 status of the spouse. If you want your wife/husband/dependent to be able to work, why not seek a change of visa status for them? Or is this just too much of an effort?

I don't have any choice other than going with Fragomen because of employer restrictions... they are very slow... I have found that they only respond to the HR emails -- they will never respond to your emails and you will keep on waiting for replies for weeks together...
My LC was approved in Feb.. they took 4 months to prepare and file my I140 application which is most probably the simplest application.... After the dates became current in June - they took 10 days to send me a list of documents required for I485 despite several emails... That too happened after HR intervention.
I am fortunate that my GC process was started by other law firm... They filed my application in EB2 otherwise I am pretty sure that Fragomen would have gone for EB3. I have been with another law firm that started my GC process,,, and trust me -- it was much much better than Fragomen in spite of being a large law firm.
Fragomen should stop taking clients if they cannot handle the load... Phone calls made to their lawyers/paralegals always go to voicemail --
Don't use them if you have a choice.

Trying to apply AP for spouse, his last entry into US was on F1 but since then he's been through H1 and current status is AOS filed. Should the Class of Admission be F1?
Whatever he used last to enter US, in this case F1(class of admission will be mentioned in the i-94 stamping
Which I-94 copy should be attached, the one that was stamped when he last entered US, or the latest I-94 he received from his last H1 filing?
I would attach both copies to be on safer side and avoid any RFE's,however i have never sent i-94 copies. Please take a look at my blog for list of documents/cover letter for AP. Hope you find it useful
Thanks in advance ..

Dude, don't judge everybody with the same yard stick.
Gotcher has been very helpful for a lot us who are looking for anwers. You may not agree with his analysis for personal reasons, just keep it that way.
Don't try to just come up with stories.
Even if he gets some publicity so what? Atleast he is earning it by helping a lot of people.
i dont think its a controversy. mr. Gotcher does not agree with the interpretation. Maybe its a way to generate some additional revenues for his firm by increased traffic to the blog and potentially a class action lawsuit on behalf of the ROW people.

Agreed CIR benefits illegals more than us, and some of its provisions are flaky. But then it raises the EB cap to 625K and exempts MS + 3 yrs from cap.That in itself is a huge relief measure for us. Agreed illegals benefit a lot more, and the dems are more sympathetic to them but the point is we are not the choosers here. Something is better than nothing is the dictum for us.
Let us now stop re-inventing the wheel and re-focus our efforts to make the new congressmen aware of our situation. Have a nice day !
Actually I do have a convincing answer... whether or not that bill passes, we are in a lose-lose situation. I have read the bill (not in its entirety like I already stated). I know that the amnesty section already specified there will be no immediate granting of citizenship, excepting the wording for those who have been in this country for more than 5/6 years seems to imply they would get citizenship (again, the way a bill is worded can be twisted in future).
What I am worried about is, I get the feeling this is going to end up dipping into our EB3 pool... we previously had a Sched A for physicians and nurses that took numbers out of EB3 exclusively for them.
And I don't listen to Lou Dobbs or NumbersUSA rantings. But if you kept your ears open more than 6 months ago, you would also have heard some Dems says some not-so-friendly things about us.
One prominent Dem senator said H1-Bs are not suffering as much as illegals.
Another prominent Dem said this country needed more farm workers, not more IT / skilled ppl.
Have a nice day, anyway.

I am not sure whether it is my HR to be blamed or my corporate law firm TheChugh who has been handling my case, no one has bothered to convey my PERM status or even my case #. I feel frustrated when my HR doesn't respond about the status.
I understand that they must by flooded with application preparation but setting up a link for me to check the status shouldn't be very difficult.
I really hope that my PERM gets approved before 31st July so that I can file I-140 and I-485 concurrently.
Anyone else has experience to share about TheChugh law firm?
Do you work for HCL?
