Apparently, we were pretty pretty close to getting retrogression eradicated in the lame duck session, according to an IV core member.
Of course, we all know that Cornyn came very close to getting his bill attached to one of the passable bills; it was only one senator who spoiled our party ... we all know who ...
Point is will we come that close again? As you know unlike the LD, the bill needs to pass the house and senate again ....

Inspite of the new spillover policy and the additional FB visa's the EB2-I has retrogressed. This shows there is quite a bit of EB2-I demand. Regarding EB3I movement, donno when it will come out of the 2001 slump. The actual bulletin might show the ROW movement that could provide some hint to how the spillover can influence the EB2I forward movements.

I have analyzed the tracker from Rajiv Khanna's site. Here are some inputs.
Cases transferred from federal offices :
There is no set trend in processing of these cases. There are a substantial number of approvals.
Cases transferred from SWA offices :
There is clear trend here. The last 3/4 months PBEC has sent out approvals from mid 2002. There are a number of PD June 2002 approvals and some PD July, august, september '02. There is an effort to push mid 2002 cases in PBEC.
The folks left over from 2001 may receive NOF or some query. I am not sure.
If you are a SWA cases from 2001 you should be talking to someone...your lawyer...employer...

You stated dual intent immigrants. In letter and spirit.
That contradicts US Embassy provisions of H1 stamping, when you first go for the visa interview. Doesn't the US Embassy/Consulate state that you should be able to prove your intent NOT to abandon your country of origin, show you family ties, financial connections. Am I right? I can give a ton of links from US Consulate web sites with those exact words.
Now, what you are talking is dual intention: get H1B visa and get on the permanent residence highway, at the earliest opportunity.
It's OK to start with an empty kitty in SS and Medicare account, just when are about to get your Green Card than to walk back to your country losing 10 to 20 grand of your own money after 6 or 7 years. Uncle Sam should not collect SS Tax and Medicare from temporary workers. Period.
Learning01:
The intent issue is generally looked at during visa issuance, HOWEVER, please see the link from shusterman or better yet look at the USCIS link (it can't be better than this). The Consular officers never ask you your intent when you are applying for a H1/L1 visa. The intent issue is applicable only when you are applying for a F1/B1/B2 visa.... In the future, before posting anything, a little research please:)
As for the other issue, I am surprised at the vehemence...why would in not make more sense to get the money that you paid in addition to what the employer matched back when you decide to leave (or are forced to leave)? That way the US gets to use the money till you are here, but you get double the money if you leave. I would also agree with mrajatish...instead of blaming the US for everything, for once lets try to change the way our government works.

Has anyone done refinance from BOA on EAD / AOS (expired H1B & I-94)?
My current home loan is with BOA & I am trying to refinance with them, but they say we can't approve now because of status. I locked in rate in Sept. 2010 & now I am stuck as rates have gone up. After 4 months they have denied.
I don't know how to proceed further. They are not ready to give any letter & the lending policy. Any suggestions please......

Senators who abstained:
1. Obama (D-IL)
2. Brownback (R-KS)
3. Byrd (D-WV)
4. Lott (R-MS)
5. Johnson (D-SD)
Maybe writing to these senators and explaining our part of the story may help them at least see our point of view.

Hi,
I was following this thread and it has good information.
I have EB3 labor and I-140 approved with priority date March 2005. I couldn't file my I-485 in 2007.
Recently thru same employer I filed EB2 labor which got approved in Sept 2010. I have filed my I-140 under regular processing. I asked my attorney and he said as I already have one I-140 approved I should file this one under regular processing. USCIS might reject premium processing. Any advice.
My 6th year of H1-B is getting completed on Sept 2011.
Please suggest should I file my I-140 under premium processing? Should I try to convert it???
9 years and VayuMahesh any inputs... congratulations to u both for successful I-140 approval and porting....
Thanks in advance...

Absolutely wrong. If husband and wife are filing a joint tax return, it is wrong on her part to send money to her parents without informing her husband. Leave the taxes, it was simply wrong on a wife's/husband's part to do ANY major money transaction without letting your other partner know. Its equivalent of cheating (just financial cheating). Do you think it is ok for a man to send money to his parents?
I do agree with your point that information about transactions should be known to both parties. To answer your question, yes, in my opinion, it is perfectly OK for a man to send money to his parents since the man is earning. If the girl earns, she earns that right.
Say, when the couple goes to India for a vacation, I totally support the girl buying gifts similar to what the man has bought for his family/relatives. I also support assistance based on humanitarian needs for girl's parents. ONLY when it is comes to demands of sending monthly allowance or occasional lump sum, a line needs to be drawn.

it has to be similar job PLUS with an established company.
from what i have gathered it seems that if USCIS issues a RFE or calls u for interview during adjucation they might ask for 2 yrs of tax filings of future employer to prove that it's an established company (although they are not suppposed to bring up 'ability to pay' issue which is already covered in approved 140 -- but being USCIS anything goes...).
i also wondered about the conflict of interest becoz it's your relative that u clearly identified in your G325 (Biographic) form -- but I guess if ppl are doing it then it's possible.
You can be self employed used that for AC 21 as per yates memo. In that case wht does it matter if you are working for your wife's company. since it allows you to work just by yoru self ( self employment == own your own company)

In the past when we predicted the visa bulletin, people came up with estimated number of visas available and based on that predictions came through, which were pretty accurate.
Does someone know (vdlrao?) what is the rational behind this move? When new year 2009's visa quota is available, how come dates have gone so much backward. So far i was keep hearing that EB2 India will retrogress by couple of months ... but what we see in visa bulletin is a retrogression by couple of years. Are there so many people waiting between 2001 and 2003, that EB2 dates have gone back to 1 April 2003? Any thoughts?? As far as EB3 is concerned, I am speechless... god knows when these people will see any light at the end of the tunnel.
