It looks like they have heard from IV members about the spillover rules and their clarification about the QUARTERLY spillover is useful. Also them categorically stating that any spillover visas would be used in strict order of PD is reassuring. Whether they actually practice or not, it is good that they have gone on record as saying that is the way it should be.
In the past spillover was not applied in the way they are saying and EB2I suffered greatly for it.
This spillover rules if enforced will accelerate EE2I movement initially and then EB3. I suspect that by this summer EB2I folks from 2007 should be seeing some action.
I agree. It was interesting to see them use our style of predicting with and without spillover. It seems they have paid attention to the recent report we had published. We should continue to ask questions and provide suggestions to the administration officials.

If they are rolling a dice.. it sure reads 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and then 900 dots on the last face.
This bulletin rulz for giving a lot of people here (including me) false hopes.
I do not get it either. They seem to have this very complex formula to determine where to move the cutoff dates or they simply roll a dice. Is there no transperancy. Sometimes I figure I should just not be bothered. It is black box!!. But I can really not do that!. Atleast we are participating actively in the call campaigns. But is that all we can do?

Dear Sakthisagar
As you said that you applied for H1 extn in 2009 and got extended only for 1 yr instead of 3 yrs [as your I-140 was approved], this means that this yr if suppose you have to apply for H1 extn again that means again the employer has to pay around 4000$ for extn and your have to pay again around 500$ for H4 extn correct ?

I agree with tnite
But the downside to this is that most EB2 July filers have (or will be) been renewing their EAD's in August/Sepetember and this bulleting will not let USCIS give out 2 yr EAD's and instead hand out 1 yr ones.
Just because your PD is current dosnt mean that USCIS will process your apps right away. There are folks whose PD was current under July bulletin and their apps haven't been touched based on some anecdotal evidence here..
But the Eb3 news is not good.
just my 2 cents

Hi All,
Ads and other process took around 8 months(approximately). Just I was talking about the day labor filed with DOL to approval email to HR department. Just I am sharing this information thinking that it might help for someone in thinking in that direction. Eb3 & Eb2 both labors are from the same company. I have US masters degree ( if any wants to know about that).
Your questions are welcome and as much as I know I will share.
Thank you and best of luck to all.

How would I-140 approvals impact the availability of visa numbers and isnt spill over already happening,ie, removal of country caps, as we have seen last year,last quarter as well in July VB?

It is good to see, more and more people (EB3 with older PD's ) switch to EB2 or higher, though the total percentage is small, it is still a significant help for EB3 (C & I). On average each EB Applicant consumes 2-3 Visas. One primary applicant switch means, at least 2 -3 visas freed in EB3 for this category. If qualified for EB2, this is a good move looking at the way EB3 dates are moving.

I guess gctest is right. He too can try and interfile...provided he is as zealous on his cause to get a GC. In the time a EB3 applicant works fulltime and gets a master's degree by doing part-time. GCTest (Who is either highly qualified by means of a MS degree or was generate experience letters of 5+ years), in EB2 category can work on PhD and get a NIW..and thus be a ble to interfile....Thats current. Or Maybe GCTest's logic is that he does not want to excell in his professional training(qualification) and life bcos by doing that he will be jumping from EB2 to EB1 and he does not want to do the unethical :-)

Every few days another person comes along with a lot of enthu saying they found another issue with the USCIS process that they want to correct.Which is extremely legtimate in the narrow specifics of their particular case. A while ago sunny_surya started a thread with same topic and now not to be seen anywhere. These activities with narrow scope won't have any room for success and will not have any visibility either if the folks at the other end of the stick (EB3 in this case) , the thread will just die withing few days. The only initiatives that have any chance for success are the ones that address the concerns of the community as a whole.
Just focus your energies on recapture instead of trying to educate these highly skilled people with lowly functional brains.

I am an EB3 with May 2006 PD, without any intention to port. It is too much of a headache in my opinion given the delays at 140.

Can Patton Boggs do better? Haven't we had more legislative success, I mean traction, when we partnered with Quinn Gillespie? Are we receiving sound advice on which of our grievances require legislative action and which ones can be redressed by a mere change in policy on the part of the executive? It looks like most of our current problems were not ushered in by any new law, but rather by a stroke of a pen in a memo by the incompetent and indifferent INS, USCIS, DOL and the State Department. No change in law was needed to make then deny us concurrent filing in Oct 2005 and allow it in July 2007. No change in law was required to deny us visa revalidation. One could argue that no change in law is required to belatedly use unused visas from the previous years. The list goes on. It should be easier to lobby a handful of buffoons in the executive branch with real power than 500+ buffoons on Capitol Hill. Has Patton Boggs served us well?
