Come on. If it's "at the end of 2002", then how come most of this site's participants' cases of 2002, 2001 even are not yet adjucated?
So if it's any consolation, I'm sure both BECs can go to hell

If you want to stay here , you have to follow the rules ...
There is nothing we can do except wait ...
Thats the mentality we are trying to change here. You are legally living in a democratic country, so its your right to raise your opinion.
You can't demand LC but you can definitely demand timely processing of your application, whether you are citizen or resident here.
If you rent, you don't own the house, still nobody can remove you from that house if you are within all legal limits (paying rent, living peacefully...).
Same way if you are legal resident in US, its your right to demand sane process for your application.
Don't downgrade ourselves just because we are not citizens here. We have most rights that citizens have here. And thats how it should be.

I agree with this "optimistic" guess, but can be changed if we take matter in our hand, rather than waiting miserably at mercy of DOL.
Rise and raise your dissatisfaction in any way you can, it will make difference.
Contact your local senetor, lawyer and immigration organization to start.
Once we did our part, next action is to encourage other people to do the same.

Anyway justice would be served once EB2 retrogresses to 2002
, then nobody could file 485 even if you get your Labor in 60 days. Are we seriously thinking of lawsuit ? In the poll, half of the participants agreed that lawsuit is the way to go. What are your opinion guys ?
Even if we each fork 200 bucks, still we can have sizeable amout (200x150=30K) for any lawyer to be interested in our case. Rajive already explained the cost to file a lawsuit and I guess 30K is enough for something on smaller scale.
Hello Guys,
I agree with Juntha, people need to chill out. If you have a PD after Jun 1 2002, you weren't able to apply for 485 anyway. Plus most of us in 2003, 2004 have over 1 year left before we even hope to see an LC approval.
So why the bru-ha-ha over the Visa numbers for EB3 being unavailable until Oct 1, 2005? Not like its holding most of us back! Infact, EB3 apps from other countries will have to stop too, so hopefully they will be able to process 485 apps faster. In Oct 2005, we may see the PD move by more than a few months.
No offense to the forum, but often times I find that I am more calm when I visit the forum once in a while. There is more to life, its better to focus on living your life than worrying about something that's not in our hands. Let's try and use the forum for constructive exchange of news and status updates, and less on frustrated speculation ... Just my 2 cents

Why dont yu all open a window (in yur house not in your computer haha) and breathe some fresh air... and maybe give a week or 2 before coming back in this forum. News won t change from Monday to Tuesday anyway and i think staying too much around this forum is intoxicating and depressing.
Chill out a little !

visa numbers for other countries ?
hi everyone ... can anyone share their knowledge about how the visa availability numbers work ? In the bulletins, they say it's "current" for my country (Brazil), under Employment 3rd, but I understand there's also an annual cap for visas under those categories, right ?
does "current" mean that when I get the labor certified, I can apply for 485 immediately (if it's open), and there's no "wait" ?? aren't there people from 2002, 2003, 2004 waiting ? that's what I don't get ...
tks for your input

The Employment Third and Third Other Worker categories have reached their annual limits and no further FY-2005 allocations are possible for the period July through September. With the start of the new fiscal year in October, numbers will once again become available in these categories. It is not possible to make any estimates regarding potential cut-off dates at this time
