From your lips to god's ears...if it requires me to get hold of an tambura and sing like the old movies in a dilapidated temple would gladly do that for you. Atleast the fear of me singing should force the man above to do his job . Jokes aside ...just have an hunch next bulletin might move also by 4 months exactly . Just based on psychology (CO) has been very conservative and he need not have moved the dates to July untill unless they were serious about taking in a lot more apps.
Now I hope the CO does not do this the slow way (death by a thousand cuts ) by moving it 3 weeks each bulletin untill Sep 2012 and pushes the buttons now.

Soggadu,
Understand your pain buddy. This wait is killing me. I have become a Q forum addict and it's all numbers in the brain even during sleep. It is tough because we are very close to our dates becoming current but yet too far away. Feel sorry for the guys who missed it by a week or two.
Let's hope we get to apply for our 485 this year.
Thank You!

I personally think the PD will halt at Apr15 2008 next FY.. added 3 more months buffer.....( Moreover can't imagine Soggadu bhai's posture)
Folks,
Great forum, great number crunching. Regarding the processing times, just wanted to quote my friends case as a reference. His PD is 07MAR07 and is a PWMB, got current in July VB, applied 485 on 07/01/11, got FP done on 07/15/11 and had GC in hand on 08/20/11. Everything is super quick, happened in ~45days. The processing times are assumed as 4-6 months, but do you guys think USCIS has improved on that front and no longer need such long times. One instance is not a basis, but in case if people heard similar processing times else where too.
Thnx
i cut/pasted the content,. All the best!!

Welcome to the forum! If you are the primary applicant then in my opinion you don't need to worry about marriage certificate anymore.Quote:

me too, I am addicted to this forum. I have to check this forum at least five times or even more every day.
The endless waiting is killing me. My wife needs EAD to work for school and I need AP to travel home to meet my family!
I have been working on the same position for seven years and I am desparate for GC now!

Under current immigration law, employment-based immigration is limited to 140,000 visas, or green cards, per year. The process for obtaining employment-based visas can take years to complete, causing many of these visas to go unused. There is also an annual per-country limit that caps at seven percent the number of employment-based immigrants that can come from any one country. In some instances, this per-country cap causes employers to consider country of origin, not talent, when hiring foreign workers.
Last Congress, a bill was introduced in the Senate that would address some of these delays and caps. The “Reuniting American Families Act” (S. 1085, 111th Congress) would recapture unused employment-based visas from prior years. This bill would allow the Department of Homeland Security to issue any unused visas from Fiscal Years 1992-2007 and in the future roll over any unused visas from one year to the next. It would also increase the per-country cap for employment-based visas to ten percent of the annual total.
This legislation was not signed into law before the last congressional session concluded in December 2010. Therefore, it will need to be reintroduced in the 112th Congress in order to receive further consideration. Please be assured that I will keep your views in mind should this or other relevant legislation come before the full Senate. Thank you again for contacting me.
Gurus,
Received above email from Senator Frank. As per his comments, The Unused numbers will be used in next year?? In that case, the dates movement in October Bulletin based on previous wasted Visas ??
Am i a missing something here ?
Hate to spoil the good vibes we all have right now, but :
USCIS Begins Implementation of Enhancements to the EB-5 Program
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/usc...00082ca60aRCRD
USCIS is hell bent on selling the EB5 GCs for the 500k-1million.
I will let others chime in, my thought is if such was the case, it would be big news posted on all lawyer's websites as well as CO would have put this reason officially in the comments in visa bulletin.
also:
http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-s1085/show
shows its in just the introduced status.
as well as:
http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s111-1085
shows similar albeit more detailed status info. it also says: "This bill never became law."

The only hope and game in town is less demand from eb1 and eb2row, as has been the case the past few years.
And the recent jobs bill being promoted by President, if it had these provisions for EB reform, it would have a great chance. This was the last straw from this presidency for our hopes I feel. Now only in next term something hopefully can be taken up.Quote:

I had replied earlier in the thread. Need to go back and check out.Sunil, thanks for sharing. Although recapture bill is introduced every year and doesn't go anywhere, I think we need to continue to press for it. Because otherwise nobody is going to speak about it. The movement in October is still a puzzle whether it relates to 2011 visas or 2012 fresh set of visas.Quote:

Yes there is. That report is published both by DHS ... usually by Dec of this year.Quote:

I will not use the datapoints before 2001 since conditions were vastly different.
2007 and 1999 should not be used for the average calculation computations since they are once in a lifetime kind of events. I will not take the heavy retrogression year of 2008 also for similar reasons. Discarding those points still your table demonstrates that dates should atleast move by 6-8 months in the most pessimistic scenario and by 11 months in the medium scenario and even further in the best case scenario.
Since there are headwinds on the spillover side from EB5/EB1 8 months movement might be an very rough case projection purely based on the table above bringing us to the border of Nov/Dec 2007.
All I am trying to do is make an very rough ballpark estimate without delving into the numbers and using the single table above. Generally the trend being followed over an decade should hold up.

Like i said In my opinion ......
i have done it in US for my parents and my attorneys and immigration expects in my company.. say that is perfectly fine (infact even better).
