where_is, what happened to yahoo group. Why I couldn't see any messages. I can only see "chat". Can someone explain. Guys, this is only chance to rise and do something about BEC, otherwise we will keep on digesting such (retrogression prediction for 2006) bad news.

Same with me. I could not see messages link in the forum.
 
Why dont they just come out and say "Get out of here" ?

They could just say we are not going to offer Green cards anymore instead of doing all these silly things.

They are doing everything to make this process as difficult as possible.

the following message is from www.immigration-law.com. Let's do something about this immigration reform!!!

10/07/2005: Shocking EB Visa Numbers Prediction for FY 2006 and FY 2007
The AILA has reported the FY 2006 and FY 2007 Employment-Based Visa Number predication based on the information from the State Department and the Labor Department. It is literally shocking.
The recapture number from prior employment-based visa numbers, which we reported in our Visa Retrogression Q&A, approximately 101,000 have been almost completely exhausted, and fewer unused family-based immigrant visas out of about 89,000 are available for employment-based cases. Accordingly, recapturable numbers are practically almost gone.
The visa numbers for FY 2006 and FY 2007 which have been provided by the State Department to the AILA are so stunning that one feels completely lost. See the following figures:
FY 2005--249,000 (attributable recapture from the EB unused numbers and spillovers from the family-based categories)
FY 2006--156,000 (actual number is estimated to be about 6,000 fewer than this figure!)
FY 2007--148,000
For the Worldwide EB-2 numbers, it predicts that it may remain current at least through December 31, 2005, and then may retrogress during the 2nd quarter of FY-2006 (January - March 2006). What's more, a cut-off date may be established during the 3rd (April - June 2006) or 4th quarter (July - September 2006).
India used 45,000 EB immigrant visas in all of the employment-based visa categories in FY 2005, but in FY 2006, the per-country limit in all EB categories will only be 10,700, and of that 10,700, the number available per-country in the EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 categories is projected to be only 9,180 or less.
The 245(i) cases which were filed mostly before April 31, 2001 will more or less seriously affect the pace of the visa number progression. But look at the estimate of 245(i) which is pending at the DOL. The number is staggering. There are estimated to be approximately 345,000 245(i) applications with the DOL. Without doubt, some of these applications will be denied, withdrawn or abandoned, but the prediction indicates that as many as 250,000-275,000 direct beneficiaries plus additional derivative beneficiaries of their family members (average 2.5) will move into I-140 and I-485 streams in the future.
Again, as we emphasized in our Visa Retrogression Q&A, the only solution is to push the Congress to pass the Immigration Reform legislation as soon as possible. You all should join in this force to lobby the Congress and refute the anti-immigration forces!

Out of 350,000, half of them are Indians. So 10,000 EB visa per year means it will take 18 years to clear current backlog? Are we waiting for GC or Citizenship? It is accepted by most of the countries in world if someone lives for more than 10 years in a country without criminal record, can apply for citizenship.

It is time to arrange a rally in DC in front of White House. What do you say guys?

I'm located near DC. I will be there.

If you check http://uscis.gov/graphics/shared/statistics/, you will see get a clearer picture of the immigration reality. In the past years, Indian and Chinese all exceed the 7% cap. Basically they borrowed quota from other countries or from other category such as family-based.

In 2005, the annual quota is 140k. According to ALIA, INS recaptured unused visa and increased the number to 250k, which means Indian and Chinese were allocated 18k. And eventually Indian managed to borrow quotas from other countries to make it 45k .

However, in 2006, such luxury may be no longer available.

1. According to ALIA, no unused visa available, so the total will be back to 140k.

2. It’s almost impossible to borrow visa from other counties, since PERM allows a lot of new applicants to compete for visa, so the per country cap is much more likely to be enforced. Say for any single year, there are 80k GC applicants from countries other than India and China (historical number estimated from 2003 and 2004 approved GC, could be more I’ll say). For the year 2006, very likely BEC and PERM will each output new 80k I485 applicants, easily exceeding 140k limit. That explains why ALIA projects, even for EB2, worldwide retrogression could be triggered in the foreseeable future. And for Indian and Chinese, if you can’t borrow, you are subject to 7% limit, eg 10k per year, and expected to move very slowly.

Very cruel reality!

Why India use 45000 in FY2005 but reduce to 10000 in FY 2006 ??

This is just ridiculous ...

Once my labor and 140 got approved can I use these PD to file a new LC under PERM from the same company ?
My LC was filled under EB3 and EB2 is current at this moment and also there is more chances that EB2 will progress much faster than EB3 due to those 245(i) cases.
Please let me know.

8th Year H1B Visa Revalidation - Chennai

Please excuse me if this is not the correct place for this question. I am not finding a better forum than this to ask this question.

Does anyone know how to schedule a visa revalidation appointment at Chennai Consulate via the VFS system from US? How do we pay the fee at HDFC before going online to do make an appointment? The process seems to be a hassle for people from here trying to make appointments and not clear.

See this website - www.vfs-usa.co.in

Please let me know.

Thanks
 
Please update us if it works..
