No, it isn't NC and NC alone. The percentage of people that get stuck in NC is minuscule compared to the back log due to inefficiencies.
You can believe what you like, you can chose to in 1 breath quote from the Ombudsman report and then in the next, ignore what it states.
The fact remains, the USCIS is very far from effcient
I totally agree that USCIS is inefficient in using all the visas allocated. DOS provides cut-off dates based on the projection given by USCIS. USCIS always on the defensive and provide the cut-off dates that results in such waste in EB visas every year. I do not think that they are ready to learn from their mistakes, otherwise how come this is a regular issue every year? Even a small relief like using the entire visa allocated will be better in such retrogression.
I hope USCIS will be made liable for the mistakes done in their past and provide those unused visas back to EB.
Thanks

To core IV team members,
Do we are sending any "thank you faxes "to the congress man who orginates the skill bill?
-----
To me it looks like a ploy by Republicans:
1) To fracture the support for CIR and isolate the undocumented workers
2) Republicans already enjoy support of the anti-immigration lobbies, what better than to add legal immigrant lobbies to their support base. Contradictory, yes, but a suave political move to confuse voters further.
Strategically, when one doesn't enjoy clear majority support, this is a perfect political move.
3) If this were a betting game, I would put my money on,"Nothing is going to happen on SKIL till after the Nov. elections" horse.
4) If Democrats win the House in Nov. the SKIL will have trouble, because it is sponsored by Republicans. If Republicans retain the house, well, SKIL bill would have served its purpose.
5) Even if House passes the SKIL bill Senate won't pass it because they already passed a comprehensive bill. They won't want to appear to be partial to legals and overlook the undocumented workers.
These are my thoughts on SKIL bill as it stands today, I may be wrong.

I already mentioned in my previous posts (multiple posts with same matter for people like you and me, see it and understand it well) how we are getting more than 50k visas just for EB2 India. I am giving it here again the visa allotments for 2006 and 2007 years when theres vertical fallouts. Now its changed to horizontal fall outs.
Due to this as many of us think its not the EB3 India which is losing, but its EB3 ROW.
Class --------------------------------------> 2006 | 2007
Total Employment-based Approvals ----------> 159,081 | 162,176
EB1 ---------------------------------------> 36,960 | 26,697
EB2 ---------------------------------------> 21,911 | 44,162
EB3 ---------------------------------------> 89,922 | 85,030
Fourth:-------------------------------------> 9,539 | 5,481
Fifth (investors) ----------------------------> 749 | 806
See the Total Employment Based Visa approvals for 2006 and 2007 159,081 and 162,176. But there are only 140,000 visas in EB category. The rest of the visas came from Family Based visas which are not used for the previous fiscal year. The share for each category: Each EB1, EB2 and EB3 should get 1/3 of 140,000 = 46,666. But due to the less demand in EB1 and EB2 ROW all the visas falling to EB3 ROW due to the Vertical falling.
EB1 ROW --> EB2 ROW --> EB3 ROW.
EB1 INDIA --> EB2 INDIA --> EB3 INDIA.
As theres not much demand for EB1 ROW and EB2 ROW, all the unused visas are going to fall to EB3 ROW. So from this time its going to be like Horizotal fall out like below.
EB1 ROW/EB1 INDIA --> EB2 ROW/ EB2India/ EB2China-->EB3ROW/EB3 INDIA.
So this time to fall any VISAS into EB3 ROW they have to pass through EB2 India/EB2 China. So this makes EB3 ROW dates would retrogress due to the decrease in visa numbers availabilty.
As I said each category would have 46,666. So EB1 and EB2 together will have around 93,332 visas. But in EB1+EB2 in 2006 about 50,000 visas approved and in 2007 about 70,000 visas approved. So for 2008 also asume the demand for EB1 and EB2 is 70,000. But the availability of VISAS are 93,332 as said above + unused family visas which come around 19,000+.
So for this 2008 fiscal year for EB2 India and China the total visa numbers availlable are
(93,332 +19,000) - 70,000 = 42,332.
So around 42 thousand + 9,800 (regular 7% of 140k) = around 52k Visas Just for India , because EB2 China was already Jan 2006 a year back. And I dont think it would take any considerable share in this 50k other than its regular 9,800 visas.
Get me back if you have any doubts.
There are some significant flaws in your analysis. If you correct them, the number comes to around 25K.
First. The family spill over has to be applied to all categories. So the total number is 140,000 + 19,000.
Second. You calculated EB1/2/3 gets 1/3 which is not correct. They use only 28.6% not 33.3% This makes difference.
Third. The EB1+EB2 combined 70K already counted 9,800 visas for India. We should not add them again.
According to USCIS/DOS testimonies they will usually end up using only 95% of total quota. They go conservatively because they must ensure that they won't use up even a single visa more than what law allows.So total available is approximately 159000*.95 = 151050
Third. EB1, EB2, EB3 each will get 28.6%. Not one third (33.3%). That makes lot of difference. So each category will get around 43,200.
EB4 and EB5 combined will get around 21,449
Now again, going by statistics and your assumptions that EB1 and EB2 takes up 70K and EB4, EB5 takes up around 10K. The unused visas are
((43,200*2)+21,449) - (70,000+10000) = 27849.
So the total EB2 visa usage will be around 70K + 25K =95K.
Due to this as many of us think its not the EB3 India which is losing, but its EB3 ROW.

Dear IV members,
We are seeing now the fruits of our efforts.
Update: Bipartisan Bill - HR 5882 introduced to Recapture EB visa numbers (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18773)
Update: HR 5921 Introduced to eliminate per country limits (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18856)
Despite a difficult year for immigration, there is movement of Bills for us.
The admin fixes campaign has also been successful. It is now a matter of time when administration chooses to make an announcement. We have been following up with them on regular intervals. The phase 2 of our campaign has also been going for past several weeks. Several state chapter members have traveled to DC and lobbied. Core has also traveled to DC to push for our provisions.
The latest good news is the bill on Recapture. IV has been on the front lines to announce all these developments and our lobbyists have been lobbying hard for us. All this effort costs money and thus we are starting a funding drive after a gap of 4 months so that we can continue this momentum. The more we can raise, the better we can lobby. We have a target to reach at least 50K in this funding drive so that IV can continue to be a voice of immigrants and take up their issues on the hill.
Please contribute generously. We encourage people signing up for recurring contributions but if you want to contribute one time, you can do so too. If you want to contribute an amount not listed on the contributions page (http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=44), you can contribute by paypal using the email donations at immigrationvoice dot org
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=44
Once you have contributed, please post on the thread and we can know how much closer we are from our target. IV chapter leaders and Team IV members will run this thread and count the contributions.

Well one can avoid Air France if it 'makes you feel better'
The Crux of the matter is 'Indians discriminate Indians !!!!'. You see that everyday.....
1.Indian embassies in US...
2.Air India service is better for Goras and Goris than us...
3.Even in a website called IV and the list goes on and on.
Its been long forgotten that we were once the richest country in the world with a amazing history and cultural background.
Bottom line: Once a fellow Indian starts respecting another fellow Indian 'others will follow'.
Cheers!!!

is it mean Canadian door's are closed for people who employed in IT field and do non-managerial job?
Is there any other alternative option to apply Canadian PR after exclusion of occupation category from federal and province Skilled worker category?
Canada has a point system. You earn points for (i) qualification in area of demand - this changes constantly, (ii) family in Canada, if any, including cousins etc (iii) age, (iv) knowledge of English/French, (v) a job offer in area of demand, (vi) money for initial support during job search, (vii) knowledge of culture, (viii) interview, etc etc. If you get passing marks (60%?) you are in.
Others categories are marriage, investor (with a guarantee of employing certain minimum number of Canadians other than your own family), refugee etc.
There is no country based quota. Once you become citizen (after 3 yrs), your Nationality is considered Canadian. Country of birth is never mentioned or asked for any document other than passport (even there it is optional). Govt benefit plans do not distinguish between a PR and a citizen.

I saw a petitioner recommend GT law in one of the posts. I think she is a lot luckier than me. I have had very bad experience with GT Law recently. Please see the following facts:
1) After 3 months, I was only informed that my salary is not meeting the prevailing wage requirement; 2) After 6 months, I was told that the attorneys are still struggling with the job description themselves without asking earlier for a conversation with my manager to help them resolve the problem. The issue they are struggling is that the field of my advanced degree is not related to the field I have been working in even if my skills sets fit right in!!! Can you believe it that we are actually advising them how to handle this issue and paying them a lot of money???? 3) During the 6 months, the attorneys have been changed twice and the transition of my case from 1 set of attorneys to another was very poor (I was asked for the same set of documents twice). It seems the process started all over again with each change. With the most recent set (the 3rd) of attorneys, they sent my files to the Maryland State to assess my salary level last week after we were informed about salary issue 3 months ago by the 2nd set of attorneys. It has been really a big mess. It has also shown that different sets of attorneys are definitely not talking. 4) When I check with them once every two - three weeks about progress, they would never give me a clear or meaningful answer even though they responded pretty quickly. They don't even want to tell me what has been the maximum processing time of all the labor certification cases they have handled. Now, after 6 months, my job advertisement has still not been launched yet and I have no idea when it will happen. BTW, GT Law is contracted with my company and I am required to use them for labor certification. Now I'm thinking I will have to change to a different company if I want to get it done quickly and successfully.

Hi All,
Please help me out here. CIO of the company I am working now as a full time employee is quitting and forming a new company. He would like to hire me for this new company. This is a start up company with 15 Million investment and a big venture capital company from NJ is also investing in the company. Would you guys see any potential problems here for H1b sponsorship?
Thanks for your reply.

dont be confused with "legal immigration", legal immigration in obama's world means family based immigration (vote bank politics) not EB immigration.
I think Both Sen.Obama and Sen.McCain are interested in legal Immigration.

I spoke to a woman in the USCIS customer service and she doesnt know Jack. All she told was there wont be any further authorizations starting from June 02(as idf we dont know this. Teh whole world knows). They will put all the applicatiosn received on July 02 in hold and may start processing from Oc 01 2007. As i said earlier she knows jack about the probelm. If you ask more questions they simply say that they are only customer service and this is what they know. I asked who else should i contact to get more info and she told i have to contact them only. What an idiotic organization.
