Retrogression
We all talk about the retrogression but we still dont know whats the real problem and why its not getting resolved.
I am very optimistic person but with the present situation I would say that the chances of getting anything passed this year is less then likely. Strive act is in the senate floor now.
Democrats want this resolution to pass. President wants this to get done before the end of his tenure but his party members are reluctant because they have a fear that US citizens wont like this law as this will reduce the job opportunities for them.
However the main question is why this legal and illegal immigration is not treated differently. The main problem is that no one has any issues with legal immigration but making it part of illegal immigration raises too many red flags and nothing is getting pass.
With the comments from DOS in the march and April visa bulletin the chances of PD to proceed forward is very low. Hoping for miracles and praying for it is good but we should work on other options if there is one available.
Good Luck.

hi simala,
can you please post the link or be specific with your info, i haven't heard or read any info regarding the retrogression...
if the retrogression is lifted, i will wait for 1-2 months for my PD to get current again(hope so), then add another 120 days for the Interview date. simala, if your PD is 2006, I think you still need to wait for months for your PD to get current coz i thinks its a first come first served basis again. but dont worry, atleast we are on the process...
kamrans, where are youwe miss you on this thread... please update us regarding retrogression and the CIR.
thanks,
judex
Need prayers
Thanks for remembering me. I am still in town. My parents are seriously sick. Please pray for them for their speedy recovery and long life.
Sometimes you get into problems when this green card, money, good status and job becomes meaningless. I am in the same situation and thinking about going back home on permanent basis if the situation doesn't get changed.
Please remember my family in your prayers.

So true, Kamrans! Sometimes in our quest for this elusive greencard, we are too focused on our problem. Then suddenly we are jolted into reality where green card, stability and job seem meaningless in a totally different perspective. I agree with Simala, to see our situation in a "different light", to count our blessings and what we have, than to complain on what we do not have. I truly hope and pray everything will be well with your parents, Kamrans. Im sure they are good people who deserve a good life. After all, they have raised you well. You have been very generous and helpful with all of us in this thread. Mine and my family's prayers will be with you. Take care, my friend!

I believe that it is a matter of choice that we see things differently and I know human as we are, we can feel frustrations along the way, its just that, when we think positively, and choose to joyfully wait and patiently endure things, we are also keeping up the hope and inspiration to others out there, why I am sharing this to you my dear friend,, its because of the fact that you have been our hope and inspiration too! keep it up and don't ever lose hope, God is with you, why I know? It is only people inspired by God shares their time and advices like what you did and still will be doing for others in the future.... we find strength in your help and we would like to honor God who is in you for that!

Good News
May VB brought some good news for all of us. The ROW and phil EB3 category moved by a year and now its sitting at Aug 2003.
DOS is expecting that the movement will continue in upcoming months because of the cases still pending at BEC.
Good Luck to all and I think most of the guys stuck here will get their PD current now or in few months. There is no good news for people from India. I am sorry about that.
Thanks a lot Simala and Biskadreamer. It really encourages me to do efforts for others to guide them. I will post the number in separate email.
Good Luck.

Simala,
Visa specialist numbers (202) 663-1225 or (202)647-4000. I have tried calling the numbers myself and they can help you out as long as you already have a case number.
Even with I-824 approval Im afraid we still have to wait for our priority dates but not to worry, as Kamrans had said the PH EB3 has moved a year. Let us continue to pray for same forward movements in the months to come...

Hang in there, my friend, the long journey is almost over for you...Good luck to all of us. May more good news come our way in the next few months!

Visa Availability During The Coming Months
VISA AVAILABILITY DURING THE COMING MONTHS - VB May 2007
Recent discussions have indicated that both the Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) and the Department of Labor still have a significant amount of cases in their backlog reduction efforts. As a result, the anticipated increase in demand has not yet materialized and may not for some time. Therefore, in an effort to maximize number use under the annual numerical limit, the Worldwide and Philippines Employment Third preference cut-off dates have been advanced by one year.
Unless there is a significant increase in Employment demand, it will be necessary to continue this rate of movement during the upcoming months. Such movement could be expanded to include other chargeability areas and preference categories.
One consequence of rapid cut-off date advancement is the inevitable increase in demand for numbers as adjustment of status cases are brought to conclusion at CIS Offices. Such increased demand could have dramatic impact on the cut-off dates. Readers will be provided as much advance notice as possible should this occur.

Successful FTJ Interview
MY wife's FTJ Interview got cleared at Islamabad. The lady asked a bunch of questions for 7-8 minutes and at the end she got satisfied and told my wife that everything is clear and now they need to do the administrative processing and that will take around 2-3 months or more depending on the case.
We applied in December and got an interview date of April. Now its 2-3 more months to go.
Thanks a lot for all the prayers and encouragement. Seems like its over now.

Congratulations Kamrans!
This is great news, Kamrans! You are certainly one deserving person. Hmmm... seems like a number of good news lately especially with EB3 moving forward a year in the latest visa bulletin. I hope and pray more good news are on the way. Hang in there fellow co-threaders. There is indeed light at the end of this tunnel...

I am silent because I am still in the process of evaluating my situation as what I am loosing and what I am gaining with this situation. Personally I think I loose everything by staying here and family wise I think I am doing a good job by supporting them. If I look at my family I did good but I loose years of my life living alone without a family life. This feeling bites me a lot now but I know that God is merciful and he has plans for everybody.
Good Luck.

Thank you very much but see after my PD gets current last december my wife is still not here so I am thinking it will take a year for people from Pakistan to get here after their PD gets current.
Good Luck.

kamrans,
i see your point kamrans... we are all suffering with regards to this "distance", i thought i will loose my marriage because of it last february, i believe that the lord has plans for us and this is part of His trials for us to be a better person and to have a stronger faith on Him.
thanks,
