There was an update from DOL about the backlog data on 9/13/2005.
(www.immigration.com/newsletter1/baclogupdate91305.html)
They say that there are about 100,000 labors pending in backlog center.
There are many who after waiting for Backlog to clear have moved on with a different labor … there are small percentage of guys who are still waiting for the backlog center to clear there labor…
The DOL is asking the employers if they still want to continue with the labor … and since the employer is waiting to substitute it with another guy and since it can fetch him $$$ … they are inclined to keep it rather than abandon it …
This all will end if labor substitution is brought to end… where the greedy employer will have no incentives to keep the labor pending... Although DOL has had tried in past and there is a proposal at present, to scrap off this labor substitution altogether … but there are many forces who will gains from this and doing everything to keep the labor substitution …
[The proposal is there for 60 days window for public opinion]
Lets me spell this out…
Number of labor waiting: 100,000
Say 30% guys genuine : -30,000
# of labor that can be Substituted: 70,000
So in next 2 years … U might be pushed 70,000 down the ladder just by substitution and if U are from India or China … this might result in LONG wait.
IV guys are giving false hope of removing retrogression without addressing this important issue... They seem to be supportive of labor substitution and giving all types of lame excuses.
So just think before you leap … supporting IV you might end up getting further retrogressed this Oct.
