Let us attack the PBEC issue rightly ( Yes I am right)
JustWatching said:
245i cases fall under all categories. Is there a higher probability that these are EB-3 cases?, sure.
Not sure 245i is part of PBEC issue
But we all should start thinking about Awareness/attack on PBEC now and here
Because:
Loud thinking ( I could be wrog too- Correct if Iam)
Both PBEC and DBEC are approving only RIR cases so far out of the so many thousands of cases they have received/got allocated. Definetly these RIR cases are not part of i245 cases.That is why we see PD of 2002 in both the BEC's approvals ( meaning they have easily passed Apr 2001 barrier).
In the balance cases left now we might have lots of 245i cases which might halt the progress of approvals in both the PBEC in this Year when they start the second round with SWA cases and others. When both BEC takes up SWA cases and Non RIR cases , PBEC will be faster as they have already kind of arranged the FIFO slowly. DBEC might be slower as they have no work done for SWA cases so far. 245i cases are the major cause for the Backlogs in labor as well as for the Retrogession
SWA cases with PD beyond Apr 2001 has a very big hurdle to pass when both the PBEC start approving SWA cases and Non RIR.We might be struck here like hell unless something is done now o avoid.( I can hear shouts " That waht we are telling you guys all these days when people talk about retrogession in this Forum)
When I say something is to be done, I belive that we should think on these lines
1) Know how many i245 cases are in both the BEC and pending for approval.
2) How to have different FIFO arranged for approval between i245 cases and others. If both BEC go by PD dates only then we will be struck at Apr 2001. But if they have different FIFO and Queue and Approving Officers for non i245 cases (which is us ) then NOn i245 will move faster like how RIR cases moved now
3) How to focus our efforts for Non i245 cases and push for their approval only.Like we complain that retrogesion( sorry for the bad word) will benefit late comers and PERM we should not push BEC now to approve i245 cases at large. Rather we should work on our cases which are Non i245 cases
4) Like iv.org we need the help of a strategist ( not just an attorney/a big brother volunteerwho knows all our issues) to push the things in the right direction and bring a solution here.Attorney's help ofcourse will be needed as part of the effort. Legal course has run it full course in the past and I think it is kind of exhausted ( also I think Attorney's generally are afraid of Precedence which alredy exists for fight against Labor Dept- Previous litigation efforts against Labor Dept which did not go through in a cout of law)
5) We for sure will need the help of many Legislators/congressmen/senators. The awareness among them has already been created by many memebers of this Forum doing a mailing campaign before.
6) Collect funds in a Transperent way and use it wisely. These efforts need money ofcourse
7) Solicit support fom DBEC folks as well ( if Moderator permits that. We don't want those guys to loose a valuable thread anyway)
Why don't we hire the same strategist( from iv.org) for our case too.That way our contribution will only be used for BEC issues. Need voulunteers who can ake that task and do the needful. We can use the good offices of Rajiv as well as he has helped us to unite through this forum
Memebers please voice your questions and concerns around this post.Let us discuss while PBEC is sleeping for last one week ( Zero approvals)
