I know, there might not be sufficient time to get this bill passed in remaining days. But we should try , there is a slight chance, it may pass. Let us Hope for that.
Chances of this bill passing through all the steps are very slim in this year.

You are right only 1 entry is allowed, but I thought I would just show the rest as examples for those who haven't yet sat down and whipped one out.
:P I think the worst one should be submitted so we have a chance against your badass design skillz. :ko:

Thanks for all the replies! I already contribute to IV, so all the mails about contributing to IV can stop :) You dont need to sell me IV.
I am considering an opportunity, but if I leave I might lose my PD as my current employer does withdraw the I140.
Without any reform, my guess is it is going to be 5+ years for my date to be current. Just wanted to hear a few other opinions.
Also, if there is any impending relief (like 485 filing by 2/15 thats being discussed), I would be interested in hearing about it. It would be terrible for me if I move and then a relief is passed immediately in the congress.

Q.1) I understand you can't file 485 for your spouse if PD is not current but does the PD need to be current to add your spouse as a dependent on your 485 application w/o filing 485 for her?
Q.2) Q.1 raises Q.2. When the dates are no more current, is adding your spouse as a dependent on your 485 safe enuf for her to be considered for filing 485 and getting GC when the dates will be current in future.
Earlier In this thread- page # 3, I had setup a 485 kunwaras mailing list. I spoke to 3 different attorneys including murthy's and came to this conclusion- hope this removes lot of redundant questions.
First of all, I work for LitIGATION technology company so please - don't doubt any accuracies - All our clients are top attorneys and I have used all my resources and this is the most creative idea i came-up with
***********************************************
How to delay 485 approvals - - - -
Wait for 15th July- If PD is current in August - don't apply in July , if not, go for last week of July
Since there are ton of cases, one will not get FP in traditional 30 day but they will get it around 60-90 days (assumption based on ,immigration and immigrationvoice forums and comparing influx with 1999-2000 dates becoming current situation. Yes, i have taken into assumtion that there were 195K h1's that time )
Ok so it's september already and you got your FP! But you want to have a total period of 1 year without losing your pd or your file in queue.
If dates are current in August then rescheduling september FP will go to December/November at the best!
Then you complete the fp process and the average time is 8 months - considering the flood of applications and dates will definately hit retrogressing in Nov-dec, They will assign cut-off dates. lets assume they go back to where the dates were in May/June 07 , then ,you will need to see where you are in the queue. There are some creative ways of generating an RFE (without getting 485 rehected due to initial evidence)- but it's not recommended ;-).
Keep-up the good work and please contribute if you want to thank me.

68K is unbelievable. Can you elaborate how.
The pain during the long wait is understandable.
Since you asked here goes........Yepp 68K. Let me say at the outset, that was both my share and my employers share(mostly mine however probably 2/3). Nonetheless all of these were USCIS/Lawyer/Related process fees.
3 separate J1 visa fees. Filing fees etc. About 1K.
Lawyer J1 waiver representation fees 7k. USCIS fees for that filing process plus getting the State sponsorship for the program etc. another 1K.
Lawyer gave bad advise(told me filing labor won't help me as NIW takes the same time, never knew about something called PD in those days nor did she tell me). That screwed my case so when I found this is not correct and she continued to give bad advise, I changed lawyer in late 2003. Ended up filing both ways.
Then the 6 H1b filings. (My wife changed jobs on H1b and also had two renewals, I had one renewal). Lawyers fees 1800-2000 each time, plus USCIS filing fees. We did premium processing for H1b on three of those occasions, so 3K more.
Next the retainer fees for Each of the four 140s. One of mine based on Labor, and one NIW based were 6 and 6.5K respectively. My Wife's were 5K and 6K(both Labor/PERM based with but with different employers). The Adverts etc were separate. The four USCIS filing fees for this. We also did PP for two of the 140s, so another 2K there. Then the 485 filing fees. Also, we were finger printed multiple times.
Then our near annual ritual of EAD/AP application for the past 4 yrs(though it felt more like semi-annual). Lawyer fees 1K each rounds, USCIS filing fees plus minor charges about $1300 each rounds(cumulative two EADS and two APs). Only to have it valid for 9 months because you applied on time and they approved it too quickly and they approve it just for a year from the approval date eating up 3 months of your old one. Only on my last application in March did I get a 2 yr approval. Apply later you say, well once I applied just 95 days ahead and was delayed as they took 126 days, they sent an RFE(after I inquired after 90 days mind you). It got so bad that due to that RFE and the delay for my EAD, mine and my wife's cases were even out of sync, heck even my EAD and AP were out of sync(my AP was approved but they had a RFE for my EAD as I said before)............hence more courier fees and more confusion!
Total of 8 passport stampings over the years..... another 1K.
I had to do medicals twice, Get CXrays twice, PPDs once, Labs twice, because the civil surgeon screwed up the form the first time and the USCIS advised me about this 3 yrs later, rendering everything done previously obsolete and so..........second rounds. The civil surgeon even charged me twice! SOB........ but I digress.
My wifes medicals were just once, fortunately went through fine. Total 2k for all the above back and forth for mine and hers.
Then other miscellaneous fees, Lawyer document fees, Courier charges, RFE responses etc.
Now I will spend the last 150 on a bottle of Dom Perignon and hopefully that will be the end of this saga!
You can tally it up for yourself. That is the ball park. Each person can quibble a few thousand this way or the other based on what you consider attributable to this endeavor or not. However, that was the tally I made. Either way it is shameful and extortionate IMHO.

I would think IT experience is the same anywhere so taking it to canada should be ok? If not there are plenty of other management jobs there. It might be a new start but in a one year timespan you will be well established.
Is it just my wishful thinking?
As for masters, are you persuing MBA? How about PMP?
1. Apply for Canandian PR and then if you are lucky you may get a good job in Canada in IT or else you will end up working in Wal*Mart or some grocery store cursing why you came here. Canadian Companies wants Canadian experience. US experience is not enough! :(
2. Just enjoy without doing anything and hope that your GC would come before you die. :D
3. Do some Masters degree. I'm currently erolled in a masters program and would somehow try to finish it. It would keep me focussed and create positive energies in me. Otherwise due to utter frustration, I'm not able to concentrate and work. If you are wise enough you would understand that there is no place for you here in US and you would push off immediately. :)

I understand your frustration. Believe me I have gone thru the same.
When I filed for my I-485 in 2000, the PD was current for me for 23 months in row when it got approved. Can you believe this? PD was current for whole 23 months while I-485 was pending.
One of my goals is to help my future legal immigrants. Being a US citizen gives me vote voice and power. I am open to suggestions. I would like to help my fellow legal immigrants.
I know, the wait time is long, but it is worth it every bit.
Good Luck to everyone.
Hmmm so you have been a victim of random processing too? The situation is a mess no doubt. But this random processing really hits where it hurts the most...
IF ONLY everyone who gets a GC approval or citizenship could work at the CIS for a year... a sort of community service.... All of the problems wrt the random processing will go away...
I am sure most people on this board can hit the ground running and don't require extensive training... unlike the present day IOs.

I will call the senators immigration liaison tomorrow. Hopefully she will not tell me that they cannot do anything besides what they have done because that is what they told me in September last year when I got a standard response last year.
Unfortunately nobody understands the pain and agony we are going through. For them, its just another day at the office, they couldnt care less. Nevertheless, I am going to try tomorrow.....hey, cant give up that easy.
I will call CS again tomorrow, I dont mind being yelled at and I am gonna tell her this time that I have not opened a SR. Atleast, she will then transfer my call to a IO.
Let's see what tomorrow has in store for me!!
do you have SR opened for your wife?

You have a valid point about gctest. But again, there is no way EB2/EB3 gets to port to EB1. If it was so, then it would be a chaos here. Only porting that happens is E3 to EB2 and may be that's why he used EB3 in his post.
......
......
>> there is no way EB2/EB3 gets to port to EB1
Incorrect. PD recapture (aka porting) is allowed between EB1, EB2, and EB3 preference categories.

Once the Break is Over in 2nd week of September, We all should call members of congress , as many as possible, to get their Support for Visa Recapture Bill. If that bill passes, it will help all the EB categories.
Chances of this bill passing through all the steps are very slim in this year.

One has to remember that the famous "AC21" is also a memo!
......
AILA wants to fight this on the grounds that such directives cannot be mandated in the form of a memo, but laws have to be passed. What if USCIS retracts the AC21 memo on the same grounds?
Incorrect!
Get a hammering fact!
AC-21 is law (S. 2045) signed by then president Bill Clinton on October 17th, 2000. (Read again, AC-21 is law)

EB-3 India is last in the line so first EB-2 (WW) than EB-2 India/china/mexico, then EB-3 (WW) then EB-3 India/China/Mexico... basically my common sense tells me EB-3 India will get a big 'ZERO'....
There is a spillover of 22000 visas from FB to EB starting Sep 01 2008. Does anybody know how this spillover is divided between EB1/EB2/EB3?
Can we expect 28.6% of this spillover in EB3? Just like we get 28.6% of annual quota?

Say how many will be Forced to Leave after it passes ??? Remember we are kicked out now -- we will circle back with them after 3-4 years at low cost high tech hubs like Bangalore/Shanghai !!!!
Kicked out or not....I know some of us will continue to work on H1B as long as possible...
What i want to find out are some willing to leave as soon as this bill passes...QUIT JOB and LEAVE?
So that we can get those numbers and these people realize that they are indeed losing something.
