Called all the numbers. A couple of them were polite and said they will pass on the message and a couple of others said I do not belong to the representative's district. I ended up leaving voice messages on rest of the numbers.

Lets not get sidetracked by Mr Skillz with a Z.
Options for EB3I relief:
Option 1: CIR - This is not in the picture right now. Nobody knows when this is going to happen and I think we should not even bother to look upon this as a short term measure.
Option 2:Recapture of visas - Again this has to go through the legislative process. With the current political climate, it is going to take a tough task to get this one in as well.
Option 3:Re-intepreting and changing the spill over rule: This can be done without any legislative changes and USCIS can be asked to look on this if we can really force them to.
Steps to execute Option 3:
* Collect and consolidate all the data in a spreadsheet from the latest 485 inventory to the yearly reports of adjudicated cases
* Create a what if analysis for the next 3-5 years for EB2 I and EB3 I
* Create analysis to show what will happen with the old rule and changed interpretation of spill over
* Create a nice presentation
* Contact Senators, congressmen, USCIS and walk them through our presentation
Hopefully that can change their mind or atleast we gave our best shot.
Add your thoughts and inputs and let us create a plan on executing this, if folks want to do it.

Glad you finally realized it.
No one has doubted your effors till now
Yes, and pappu actually works actively for IV provisions and guides us, instead of complaining and making senseless NOISE like you are.
Yes and i am making a point that he is in a minority
I thought you did not believe in name-calling. Looks like you change your opinions and stance as per your convenience and frustrations.
Who started it.from now onwards you will get what you give
This is an empty claim created by you alone due to your paranoia. Its all inside your head. Again.. empty vessels make lot of noise
Now that statement that empty vessels make more noise is itself indicative of your ego and how bloated it is and how superior you feel w.r.t others
Very mature, my friend. Hope you get the good sense to stop abusing folks here and actually doing some good for the overall EB cause. Stop spreading these conspiracy theories and fears..we all have enough on our hands already. You DO NOT represent EB3 here. You are just a frustrated and embarassed person trying to hide behind your username and venting out against some hypothetical problem you have created in your head.
When will you get it into your head that no one (least of all me) is abusing folks here. I would assume that that a sane person would recognize the fact that a section of EB folks are falling through the cracks and i would certainly not expect you to even recognize this fact because you are EB2. So if a person tries to discuss about something related to EB he is frustrated and embarrassed but when IV talk to USCIS about EB backlog you are Advocating and Lobbying. Now that is the best example of Hippocratcy i ever saw. (How on the earth did you come up with that reasoning)
Please get some help. And spare us another 1000 word essay. I think we have heard enough. Find another place to get some therapy.
The person who has no more valid argument and keeps denigrating the other person who is trying to present the point of view needs some help. Just because you say so does not mean anything. You do not have any argument so you have to fall back on something ridiculous. I empathize with you and feel sorry for you.
And how many times do i have to say this a 1000 words essay is respecting your point of view you bigoted idiot. That means how ever mean and bigoted your comments are how much ever i disagree with you I am replying to your arguments point to point. Now god knows you are are a stupid bigoted person but if i am making an effort to reply to you point by point the least you can do is be civil but i am asking too much

Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
I truely feel your pain but I don't quite understand what you say about declining PERM to hold your place in the line. As far as I know and correct me if I am wrong, doesn't PERM has the option of porting the PD from an existing and pending labor petition?
Again please don't misunderstand me. I am not trying to lecture you. But please look in to that option.

Slammer, if you got visa number last year you should have gotten an interview months back, UNLESS your consulate appoinment schedule is backlogged.
Good luck
We called the NVC 2 days ago about the status of our application and the guy on the phone (who was, BTW, very polite and patient) told me that everything was processed and as soon as our PD was current we would get an interview appointment very soon.
We also sent an email-inquiry to the NVC last week and just today we got the reply :
"Unfortunately, this case no longer has a visa number available. This is
because the applicant' visa category is oversubscribed, meaning that
the available numerical limit of visas able to be issued was reached.
Upon reaching the numerical limit of visas able to be issued, only
beneficiaries who have a priority date earlier than listed in the current
Visa Bulletin may be allotted a visa number in this visa category. "
So, that must mean that they had a visa number for us back in August 2007 when they sent us the DS230-I and the bills for the visa fees although according to the VB for August/September 2007 EB3 ROW was "U" ?
Hmm, I have to admit that I have kind of given up on understanding how this all works. I'm just looking forward to that day when we finally receive our GC and are able to move to the States.
Good luck to all of you and even more patience !

Lots of people have posted about their EAD approvals in the GC thread.
I think TSC have started approving EAD filed in may. So, lets hope for the best. I hope this helps.

Subject: Follow-up to Update on July Visa Availability
Further to the email earlier today about July visa availability:
Several members have asked whether they should continue in their efforts to
file adjustment of status applications for employment-based cases. Of course
, this is a matter for each attorney's best judgment, but note that:
-It is not certain what day the revised Bulletin will be issued.
-It is possible that the revised bulletin will not issue at all--efforts to
stop this unprecedented action are being pursued.
-If you "front desk" the application, i.e. decide it is futile to file, and
a remedy opens up later, having submitted the applications may improve the
chances of utlizing whatever fix might be available.
-If you do submit the adjustments, be sure to use a method whereby you can
document delivery, and keep that documentation for each client.
-AILF's Legal Action Center is seeking plaintiffs with respect to both the
adjustment applications that were or are expected to be rejected for June
and the adjustment applications that are expected to be rejected in July. Go
to InfoNet Document # 07062975: http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22798 on InfoNet for the Potential Plaintiff Questionnaire and related FAQ.
We cannot predict now what will happen, but will continue to update the
membership as developments occur.

I did not take infopass appointment. I called the Customer Service on May 6th and opened a service request and today I got a request for evidence from USCIS. I am able to see this online but did not receive any letter. I think we should receive the letter by the end of the week...very frustrating...
Don't worry too much.. It could be as simple as having to re-submit a particular form once again because the tick marks were not legible! This has happened.

I have to visit India in Jan. I went by the time lines listed on the website and hope they it back to me within 2-3 weeks.
I requested in a detailed letter to them if I should bump the application up to an emergency. Hope to get a response back.
( I know I might be hoping for too much here. I should have applied well in advance. )
