nyc8300,
Why do you want to bring "India" in this debate. Green Card is the path one chooses solely for his/her pure selfish reasons. True "Indian" would never be on this board and for taht reason not on this forum. Practically "MOST" of people on this board happily wanted to leave India forever without any slight sense of wrongdoing with ultimate goal of achieving US citizenship and that is why they are going through GC which is essential hurdle need to be passed before achieving that. So it would be naive to gather the people on this board on a common platform by addressing their "Indianness". If you want to gatehr them on a common platform only talk about US and show them any kind of carrot which relates to US. Do you still consider yourself an Indian?

my thoughts exactly .. do you think it will move backwards ? I was thinking that it will come to aug 1999 in around 4 years ..what do you think ?
You make too many assumptions!
nyc8300,
Patience is not necessarily a bad thing when you have analyzed all your options and know what it is you can or cannot do. Heedless or reckless actions may not always yield desirable results.
What abuses are you talking about? Perhaps you know people who are being abused while they are waiting. I am in no such situation. I have a decent job, decent salary, good work-environment, and friendly co-workers. On occasion, I have some angst which is natural in any work-place. Sometimes I want to move on, and that's the only time I feel the limitations of not having a GC. It is a limitation and to an extent frustrating but certainly not an "abuse" that I have to "endure". It's always our subjective experiences that propel us to make or mar our efforts toward GC realization, or any other gain for that matter.
I understand the pent-up anger at the inability to bring about a draconian change with DOS/USCIS to benefit our community. This however, does not warrant a grouping or characterization of the whole Indian (or other) community in one basket and an obtuse reference to periods of history that had not one, but multiple causes.
Also, putting forth viable, reasonable and just arguments or suggestions to alter the lay of the land with retrogression is more meaningful than bemoaning historical events or perceived lack of community togetherness.

Exactly my thoughts. On the other hand, there are some people who are with "staffing agency", but want the freedom FROM the sponsoring employer. Unable to get that freedom is probably is the "abuse" some people refer to. For them, GC is the only option to become free and find suitable job. Make me wonder if the job mentioned in LC in such cases is "real job" or just job from a "GC Factory" employer.

How did you lose 2001 PD. Is the labor used as sub for some one else or are you working for a different employer?

I can see you have more posts on this forum than me.
When I talk about Indians/'perceived lack of community togetherness' it is a fact as is apparent from the overwhelming number of Indians like you(app. 150K) affected by retrogession and on this forum looking up visa bulletins. I haven't heard any public outcry from Indians on the retrogession issue although it is apparent they are affected/concerned to various degrees.
That is the abuse I am talking about. Maybe that's not an abuse for you. If one was abused more at your workplace, I would call it getting s....d
So you are 'abused'; unless offcourse you you don't have a life and come on this forum to get slapped every month by visa bulletins. Consolation-you are not alone though; lots of 'Indians' around.
Your contradictory statements below remind me of no action Congress.

My first employer just used me for cheap labor and then refused to give tax return so my I-140 never been filed. If I-140 never been filed my priority date was lost and I had to file for new LC with new employer. I know you don`t see too many people screwed like that. I dont think so my LC was substitute.

I am really sorry to hear that. I hate these body shoppers who take undue advantage of H1Bs and also abuse the system. If you are still in good terms with the first employer and your labor is not used for some one else, I am assuming you can still file 140 on that. Otherwise, all we can do is hope for faster adv of cut-off dates or find a sub labor with earlier date. Good Luck!

Question
If all is in order, how soon should I expect approval of the I-485 after November 1 now that my PD is current? Anyone with similar experience?
