Lots Of truth
There is lot of truth from previous posts by yh_mltr2004 and GHEBAUER!!
I am not sure if could share or say anything positive.
Lets all hope that there will be a change to the existing process (which is broken to the core!!!!). So that, at least future employment based immigrants wont have to deal with this mess.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF RETROGRESSION
©MurthyDotCom
Mr. Oppenheim discussed the historical background that has led to the current retrogression situation. Retrogression is not something new or unfamiliar in immigration law, as long-time MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers may recall. For many, however, who may have become involved in the green card process since 2001, it is new and, of course, highly problematic. Employment-based (or EB) numbers were current from 2001 through 2005 due to a legislative "fix." This legislation authorized prior, unused immigrant visa numbers from several earlier years to be recaptured and put back into the immigration system. That quota of recaptured numbers was exhausted during Fiscal Year (FY) 2005. As a result, in FYs 2005, 2006 and 2007 we have witnessed severe backlogs in the EB3 categories for all countries and, starting in FY2006, in the EB2 categories for China and India.
Employment-Based Third Preference / EB3
©MurthyDotCom
No forward movement is expected for the employment-based third preference (EB3) category. In fact, as predicted in the March Visa Bulletin and confirmed by Mr. Oppenheim, there is a strong possibility that the EB3 numbers that are not in the "worldwide" chargeability will further retrogress, or move backward. This is expected to occur in the summer of 2007. This backward movement is based upon excessive demand for the limited supply of visa numbers. This will adversely affect nationals of India and China.
CONCLUSION
©MurthyDotCom
We appreciate Mr. Oppenheim's continued willingness to address matters related to visa numbers and the Visa Bulletin. [The most recent Visa Bulletin chart is always available to our readers on MurthyDotCom.] The lack of employment-based visa numbers is a source of great frustration for many and Mr. Oppenheim's predictions do not assuage that feeling. It is better to have an understanding of the reality of the situation, however, than to operate in ignorance or with unrealistic expectations. The shortage of visa numbers, once again, underscores the need for legislation in this area, to increase the numbers, change the counting of the numbers (from one per person to one per family), or to revamp the system entirely.

I just hope that will happen before the next fiscal year , but we do not know for sure what's the real move from their part !!! I think , probably , starting with month of May will see a sign of retregression again ( as per murphy news ....it makes me to believe that ) , wich will put more frustrasion on everybody !!! We just have to keep hoping and keep pressing them to do something about this matter !!! Good luck to all of us on this forum !!!
God Bless .
God Bless .
Very true.
I hope that new STRIVE act will introudced soon, which might bring us some relief!!

NC and visa numbers
Posted this on another thread. Hoping to get better response here...
if USCIS does not use up all visas by end of Sep, can it grant the leftover ones in Oct or later? I mean if they progress the availibility dates now, and allow more people to file now, they won't be approve all of them by end of Sep because namecheck takes so much time. Correct?

Don't know why you think that something will happen next year.. This is so messed up , nothing can be expected in the near future, unless they do something for the Visa # which is unlikely. How many people will be able survive on the job with the same company...till this GC process is over especially when indication of recession is ahead....
Most of us are living in hope 'One day ' it will happen....This should not be the case, we are not hoping for Miracle, this is a process (GC process) , and it should have a system that atleast tell us , you can expect some decision by so and so date, this is like 'Mirage ' in desert, feels like it is there and we walk eagerly towards it just to realise that it is not there and yiu see another one at a distance and you continue this journey....

No Worries!!
Hi Everybody,
No Worries it going to take 5 years at the very least for people who have their PD in 2002 and the rest even more.Lets face it, its not going to become current in in the next two years and then even after that rest assured that name check clearnce will take addtional 2-3 years.
My perspective is its better to be realistic than optimistic.
My 2 cents..
Thanks

Clarification
Hi,
Please pardon for posting this que in this thread.
my PD is Sep 2001 (EB3), and I just filed my I-140 (regular processing). Now, things are getting shaky at my work place. If they let me go what are the options for me to stay this country?
Can someone pls take time to response my que?
I am in the 8th year extension.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
If something untoward happens before 140 approval, hopefully it won't, You have H1, you can transfer H1 to some other company and apply new labor and use your priority date.

I don't think u can port PD till 140 is approved.
If you haven't already yet, upgrade 140 to PP, worth it, u will lock in ur PD.
At least this way if something unexpected happens you can carry ur PD and join some other company and refile Eb2 labor and get ur GC much sooner.
And as I had recommended earlier convert to Eb2, u have enough experience now, find some reliable desi consultant who can do it for you.
I don't think Eb3 dates will move at all for coming months.
Be practical my friend, you have suffered enough, the system doesn't work, you have to find a way around it.

Thanks for your repsonse!
I can use the existing labor and I-140 approval with a different company? I thought the new labor and EB2 have to be with the same company.

you might want to confirm but I believe you can. Please do confirm it though, there are a lot of people doing this. It seems to be the only hope.

good news for the 3rd category Other countries, which I am in.
My PD is Jan 2003, now it's current, but unfortunately I got a letter from TSC this week (as a result of my constant inquiry) that my background NC is not cleared.
So, now I'll have to find all the necessary information about how to expedite NC. Why this is happening to us??
Good luck to ther others.

you can file EB2 labour I140 with new company and can still port EB3 Pd to EB2 I140. I personally did it successfully.
Make sure you have copy of approved Eb3 140, otherwise porting is not possible.
