Just an observation of DOS gameplan!

Just a general observation of how DOS will have spent (read wasted) at least one whole year or more in this visa retrogression trick they have adopted.

In essence, since July 2005 they have made visa numbers Unavailable for EB3 category (we all know that EB3 is the largest category of applicants). Then moving the dates back to 1998 since October 2005 and then moving them up ever so slowly has not helped most candidates.

March 2006 bulletin is already out and all EB3 categories are still suffering, with EB3 India doing one of the worst. It will soon be July 2006 (remember July 2005?) and the PDs would be stuck somewhere around mid 2001.

So, if anything we have all but wasted one whole year with zero accomplishment from DOS. People who had approved (or approvable) I-485s in July 2005 but no visa number are exactly at the same place one year later. Not to mention that they got to that stage after 4-6 years of filing labor.

It would have been more candid of DOS to openly come out and say that they have put a FREEZE on new GC issuance (because of economy, 9/11, outsourcing, etc, etc.).
 
Dude quit Whining !

Dude,

Quit Whining, come up with a solid action plan, instead of loosing hopes. It is possible.
1. Connect with media with total number of affected list for TV Program
2. Connect with fellow indians and chinese and send 1 $ per person as contribution amount for election to your senator in your state !
3. Try to put all your case details in ewspaper for public attention,
4. This is indeed 20 th century apartheid, fight it instead of crying. No one asked anyone to waste one year here, folks who are desperate have no choice. DOS and US Govt have their agenda right, perhaps if you did 1 to 4 you have a chance, GC is not anyone's birthright

Pls do not take it personally, if there is no hope come with a action plan to fight it. I am an academician, I would hate to see people blame on system. We are the cause of the rot, and we have the ability to fix it too. I do not want to hurt your feelings, I am sorry if I did , forgive me for it.

Excellent observations! I just wonder what do the staff, that are supposed to work on this, do? Our taxes are being misspent to harm our own futures!
One of the biggest effects of Retrogression is to throttle our voices, by denying us Citizenship for longer period of time!
The only option is to make ourselves heard - join together - ImmigrationVoice is an excellent opportunity! Otherwise, it will get worse and worse! Whoever conceived it has done us all a great service - I VOW THAT I WILL KEEP MY MEMBERSHIP ACTIVE FOREVER!
 
?!? Academician's advice!?! Be careful with contributions!

Your point #2 is contentious to say the least. No politician can accept funds from any foreign citizen. If you contribute indirectly, it will be fraud! Breaking any laws of the US can be grounds for denial of citizenship in the future! Of course, you know that - you are an academician!
If posting on these forums to share your views is whining, then we are all guilty!
Your general premise to act rather than just talk is very valid, though!
 
I agree with you !

Sure, I did not know that, thought election campaign was a common thing, where people buy dinner tables. We should follow rules, I totally agree, sure I apologise, I was not aware of the rule.

Hey -
Judging by my own situation, the game plan could have been an overhaul of the system and constitute some sanity - but we, the folks standing in the Q at the moment when the change was brought in - were made the guinea-pigs.
Hang in there, do not despair.
