EB1 India 01JAN10
EB2 India 15NOV04
EB3 India 08NOV04
EB1-EB2-EB3 China 01JAN10
Personally, I think the other movements and potential trends described in the VB are more revealing:Quote:

D. OVERSUBSCRIPTION OF THE INDIA EMPLOYMENT-BASED FOURTH (E4) AND CERTAIN RELIGIOUS WORKERS (SR) PREFERENCE CATEGORIES
As readers were advised in the May Visa Bulletin number 92, there has been extremely high demand in the E4 and SR categories, primarily for Juvenile Court Dependent cases filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for adjustment of status. Pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act, this has now required the implementation of E4 and SR Application Final Action Dates for India, which has reached its per-country limit. This action will allow the Department to hold worldwide number use within the maximum allowed under the FY-2016 annual limits.
The India E4 and SR dates will become CURRENT for October.
E. OVERSUBSCRIPTION OF THE CHINA AND INDIA EMPLOYMENT-BASED FIRST (E1) PREFERENCE CATEGORIES
Readers were advised in item F of the July Visa Bulletin number 94, that it would be necessary to impose a date for these two countries no later than September. The continued high level of demand for E1 numbers for USCIS adjustment of status applicants has required the establishment of a date for August. This has been done in an attempt to hold number use within the Worldwide E1 annual limit. The E1 date for these two countries will once again become CURRENT for October, the first month of fiscal year 2017.
F. OVERSUBSCRIPTION OF THE WORLDWIDE, EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA, HONDURAS, MEXICO, AND PHILIPPINES EMPLOYMENT-BASED SECOND (E2) PREFERENCE CATEGORIES
Readers were advised in item F of the July Visa Bulletin number 94, that it was likely that a date would be imposed by September. Continued high demand for numbers for USCIS adjustment of status applicants has required the establishment of a date for August. This action has been required to hold number use within the Worldwide E2 annual limit. The date for these countries will once again become CURRENT for October, the first month of fiscal year 2017.
G. VISA AVAILABILITY
Number use in the Worldwide F2A and F3 preference categories has increased dramatically, and is quickly approaching those fiscal year 2016 annual limits. Therefore, it may be necessary to retrogress those final application dates for the month of September. Any retrogression in the F2A and F3 preference categories would be temporary, with those dates returning to the latest reached during FY-2016 when the October dates are announced.
The warnings about various FB categories suggests that CO will, again, properly use the full FB allocation and there will be virtually no spare visas available to EB in FY2017.
So, I guess that's it for US immigration for the rest of us. Those who have gotten their GCs, good for them. The rest of us in 2008, 2009 and beyond who do not even have EADs yet should Just move on. Those dates are not going to see the light of day for a long long time. Would you agree?Quote:

The whole system has been rigged especially in the last one year. No meaningful data, so even if there is spillover they would retrogress the date!Quote:

Because as per rule, someone from ROW who has filed in 2015 should get GC first than someone from India who has filed in 2004. All in the name of "diversity".Quote:

Not to distract any one from the disappointing VB, but here is an interesting piece on Hillary's position on immigration,
http://www.cnbc.com/2016/07/12/the-t...just-said.html
Essentially Silicon valley needs more tech slaves and she will not allow even that, until all the illegal immigrants are "regularized". If she becomes the president, it will be more of the same Obama's dysfunctional stance.
Rejoice!

Democrat's policy is going to be the same till election. Because they want latino votes. But once elected, they may change the stance. I think Hillary is much more sensible person in the lines of her husband. Anyways under GOP nobody is going to get anything. So I still support democrats as far as immigration goes.Quote:

We can perhaps re-visit this thread and see how it went.
BTW, here is a question that was asked in Quora, a seemingly good website. The question was asked to Ms. Clinton as part of her "session" where she answers question posted earlier.

Interestingly, she chose not to answer it.

I don't think anything will happen irrespective of who comes to power. I think Q has been always right that the best chance is to fight it in the court arguing discrimination. The question is who will take up this challenge. It may be a long shot but I think the best.Quote:

With Trump being GOP candidate and the right wing tilt of GOP, I don't see Trump becoming president. Is hope lost completely ? No. Like cricket, anything is possible in politics. Hillary is smart, also she is the wife of a president who gave us AC21. So I have hope. No idea how soon it is going to happen or whether it will ever happen.Quote:

The biggest difference between the current administration and the previous ones is that the previous one's had an inclination to work with congress to get things done. So President Bush brought forth the last effort in 2007,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compre...rm_Act_of_2007
At that time democrats were holding both house and senate.
When President Clinton signed AC21 to law, republicans were holding both house and senate.
Part of being a leader is willingness to work with both sides of the aisle. Unfortunately, we haven't seen it with this administration.
I have seen a video in which Immigration lawyer (Rahul reddy ) from Reddy & Neumann, P.C seen as pooling H1B employers (collecting money ) and encouraging them to fight against immigration reforms. This appears to be one of the reasons why USCIS proposed - Filing dates have gone back in infamous October 2015 Visa Bulletin.
Please see if this is legal or not.
several people are adversely effected by this process.
Please share this ...

I thought I will register today and post my thoughts here as I feel very bad for whats going on in Immigration realm, especially EB2. Current situation for EB2 applicants is much worse than what a Criminal OR an Illegal Immigrant goes through in this country. They atleast know that they have done something wrong and are prepared to pay the price. But what EB2 is going through is unprecedented and if am not wrong this started from 2014 onwards. Though I was lucky to scrape thru in 2013 window to get my GC, MY wife is still stuck with a 2010 Feb PD. Even after living in this country for 15+ years I am still made to watch for Visa bulletin every month. I know I am in a better situation than some of my other friends who missed the boat, but my heart goes out to everyone who is looking at this current situation. Back in 2013 we atleast had the hope that the dates will move atleast a year every year, but whats we are seeing now is a 1 month movement or maybe even less than that every year. Someone on this forum put it the right way "Is this the end of US Immigration for all ?" . I personally do not think so. We software folks from India are smart, no question about that and cud do a bit more, I am ready to pitch in if anyone has any ideas. I personally feel that filing a mass lawsuit fighting this discrimination and highlighting the things that have gone wrong earlier might help us here. Also, as someone else on this forum said, I believe Hillary is smart to fix things and hope Dems control both the House and Senate to end this nonsense.

Looks like this is not the correct video, the correct one should have the Rahul's presentation on the impact of the original I-140 EAD to the employers and how to lobby/screw up the rule.Quote:
