I Gave Up! New Story For My Gc.

I Went To The Uscis Office To Get Stamp And They Saw My File Again And Lady Officer Said "heyyy!! I Dont See Your Name On Your Birth Certificate Bring The B/certificate Which Shows Your Name On It"
I Said Withouth The Birth Certificate How They Issued My Passport My National Id Card, My Educational Certificate.??????

I Said " When I Was Born I Was Not Given My Name And I Have My Passport My Id Cards By Educational Certificates My Other Id's Which Shows My Dob And My Name On It" She Said No I Want The Birth Certificate Which Shows Your Name On It". And She Gave Me A Letter Which Says I Have 3 Months To Submit That Birth Certificate.

Just wanted to update that our applications got approved today, Dec 8, 2005. Looks like VSC is working on PD - 1998 cases as per the Dec bulletin.

My Hearty congratulations on your approval.
I would appreciate if you could let me know the following details

1) Was your I140 approved before OR along with 485
2) Did you see any/increasedLUDs prior to your approval, if so, since when.

Thanks
Sridhar

EB3: PD April 01: 140 Approved: 485 pending VSC

Guys and Gals,

I know that this forum does not represent all EB3 applicants but we can safely say that there just aren't a lot of EB3s from 98-2001. Even if we take all the centers combined there aren't enough prior to 2002. We are being made to pay for the USCISs policy of random processing that lead to a lot of people with newer PDs getting processed prior to older PDs. Exactly why these dates are in 99 for India is still a mystery though. What exactly is happening with the 7000 visa quota (I got this number from some website) for Indians that became available in October 05. New visa quota is made available every fiscal year that begins in Oct for the DOS and USCIS. Apart from a stray case here and there, I do not see any Eb3 approvals since Oct. This is because there just aren't to many from 98. What is being done with those 7000 visa numbers?

I know that everyone keeps talking about the 245i cases from April 01 that will stall the PDs in April 01 but if there is a country quota and most of the 245i cases are from South America then how does that impact the new 7000 quota for Indians. The USCIS cannot allot all the visas to the 245i cases because there is a country quota in place and only so many can be allotted to the 245i (illegal aliens).

The bottom line is that there is no clear explaination being provided to us. This process has clearly reached its lowest point.

The dilemma for me personally is that I have invested 6 years of my life to this process. It has gotten so frustrating lately that I feel like quitting and just starting afresh somewhere else but then I think of the time I have already put in and that makes me stay on. Its such a catch 22 for me right now. I am sure most others are in the same boat. There is however a limit to patience and I am afraid another year will just about destroy whatever patience I do have left.

I am sorry if people feel that this post if of topic or just a waste of time but I just wanted to express my anger and frustration this morning.

regards,

Saras good note

I feel the same way and feel like packing off. In the current situation it is best to watch for a few months, how things unwind. we saw a good jump last month by a year, my expectation is by around March/April or earlier we should be near to early 2001.

I try to keep checking some other sources to get a true feel. There were 10 EB3 cases in Mumbai CP, when I checked last for Dec, which means that these folks are pre Jan 99. I have also seen people who are not in the tracker and all of a sudden announce approval. So discounting those I would easily double our count here. But even that would not explain, and frustrating part remains the no approvals. India's total count for year think is 10K, in each category say 3K so in each quarter that would be say around 725. now with those numbers too and if we do our count * 3 we still should be in 2000 soon...

info you asked about

Thanks Sridhar. The details you asked for
(1) My 140 was approved way earlier in 2003 (around Aug 2003, I couldn't remember the exact month though). Mine is not a concurrent (140/485) filing.

(2) I had an RFE in Oct and replied on Nov 3, 2005 - saw some LUDs then. After that I saw one on the 8th which was the approval. I saw one today but no msg change.

Hope it helps.
