yes tons of EB3s and just 2 EB2s. I guess this, and the information on trackers would make us think USCIS has cleaned up tons of EB3s from 2001-2003. I wish hey had cleaned up EB3-ROW too, so numbers from there can roll over into India...
You are right on it. I thought the same. There are over 150 eb3's. So, I am guessing they are from the June Bulletin. Otherwise, only two cases of EB2 does not make sense.

are we sure that they are not talking only about H1b?
Does following mean they are looking at Green Card as well ?
"attract and retain high-skilled workers to contribute and excel in the U.S. economy without unnecessary delays and waiting periods?
Unnecessary delays and waiting periods points to the Green card wait time I believe.

Ya know what? I am so SICK AND TIRED of our lawmakers bowing down to those illegals, who don't contribute anything to our society. That's right, NOTHING. They steal the jobs that Americans WANT to do, and our lawmakers just bend over and lick their boots!
I married an Indian here on H1-B and it's been two years since we've filed for his greencard. Do you think we've heard anything yet? Only thing we know for sure is that we are getting shafted for following the letter of the law while Elvira (vampire) arellano is sitting up in that pile of crap called a church, with politicians like Barack Obama slobbering all over her. Where are these same politicos when we FOLLOW the law??
Yes I am plenty angry over the whole mess, but what I really wonder is why don't we (the TRUE immigrant families) do the same as the illegals and go out and PROTEST this new amnesty?? Could it be we are too busy working and contributing to society?
Either way, I think we had better get out and do some protesting of our own. After all, illegals are ALIENS, NOT IMMIGRANTS. How dare they steal our Immigrant moniker from us!

You have 2 choices:
1. If your PD is before 2003 they it may become current in Oct and you can file for her, but if not then it is highly unlikely the dates will move in the next several years. If you both are not born in India/China ur chances are better.
2. She continues on her H1 and wait till your priority dates become current which can take upto 7 years.
This is a very bad situation i would highly recommend that you move heaven and earth together to get married and file this month. Pardon me for saying so but ur stars are alligned till Aug 16th only. Good Luck!
Hi eager_immi, thank you for your reply. See here is the situation, let's say for very personal reasons, we cannot get married, then, what are my options?
Thank you,

People who donate their time and money to IV, understand and appreciate the efforts by IV volunteers to fix the broken immigration system do not usually get into this guessing game. Am I wrong?

LOoks like the AILA link does not provide email addresses for every listing. I have sent emails to 4 media outlets in my area in Colorado.
yes it will not give you email addresses for everyone. but some key people will be listed. plus you can go to the website of that org and get details from there. without this tool it is v tough to find media contacts.

You are trying to defend a criminal and thus some people objected to it. Crimes by immigrants, whatever they maybe bring bad repute to their country and the immigrant community.
Dude, that is called as stereo-typing and we need to fight that. You can not control few immigrants who commit crimes. That is law enforcement and judiciary's role. Why should other immigrants be discriminated because of few bad apples.

A bank wire from any bank in India is the simplest and cheapest way for you if you don;t have or need an nre/nro a/c. The limit has or is being raised to $200,000 from $100,000.
Also for tax purposes in USA, you can get a gift of $200,000 from your parents and upto $12000 anually from other people without a tax incident up here.(completely unrelated info to your current wire)
Also u can wire from any bank in India.
One simple suggestion which is less comlicated than all those above.
BTW you don't need rbi clearance.
You can send an overseas wire from india through your bank a/c where the cost would be minimal( only exchange rate diff and cost of wire($25-50).
Your parents can safely gift you $100,000 a year. Your bank only would need a letter from them saying its a gift.
I have tried this to repatriate my assets and it works all the time.
No need to open nre or nro a/c or anything.
ps. don;t entertain any solicitation on this site for reverse hawala or anyhthing as you don;t know who will cheat you!
just my 2 cents

I can understand cases where dates are current. But how they decide on cases which might have "visas available in coming months"? Do they know beforehand the movement of dates for coming months? or does that mean they continue pre-adjudicating cases in an order (probably by Priority Date)?
Well - from what I understand is that - these are the low hanging fruits - just like how you optimize time and resources, they pick candidates that are approvable and and utilize the time to process.
It is actually meaningless unless they make it public - say - send a letter saying that your case is preadjudicated and all we are doing here is waiting for the number.
If it is something internal - then well as long as your file is lying on the shelf waiting for visa availability internal policies may change anytime.
The entire preadjudication thing was started at the peak of economic turmoil - some say it was planned to weed out as many bad apples as possible from the GC queue by issuing denials, noids and rfes - if this is the case - then this will continue to happen as long as economy does not improve and job market is still bad.

Thanks for spreading the word. Appreciate your efforts. Please mention that it is important to arrive on the 6th for training. It is important to fill out the form to let IV Core and admins know you are arriving.

Check ICICI. I think it is called a NRE account. You can fund it in Dollars and Rupees and it could be repatriated in Dollars. So just open the account and have them deposit the monies India, you can draw it here. This kind of account is for NRI's who earn an income in India and want to access it here.
There is a limit I think but it must be like $25K..
Good Luck
Dude,
I am facing same issue....need to get some money back from India....and there is no way i can get it officially without losing significant part of it. It is really illogical to send money to India for property investment just because we cannot get money back.....I am repenting doing that....
Whenever I ask my friends to do this favor to me.....all they say is they dont have money to send India (since they dont want to disclose their worth to me) or they dont want to send money to India since they know it is useless to send money at such a bad conversion rate.
If you can find some better way, let me know too.

I have an nre repatriable demat acct thru icici - it took all of 5 mnths and over 30 calls to cust svc to get the acct opened. The acct was mainly for utilizing the indian stock opts given by employer. You can trade as an NRI but online trading is not available for US residents on nre demat accts - u can however trade thru a broker like sharekhan etc.
All dividends are credited only to your NRE savings a/c - not to regular savings a/c. Any stock sale requires an authorization number which the broker can provide. Taxes on capital gains must be paid only if you sell within a year of purchase - the percentage is the same as for Indian citizens. There is no tax on long term cap gains
Since we do not have any taxable income in India, and many NRIs make charitable contributions regularly, the tax liabilities are usually not very high
Also there is a very informative section on sify.com for NRI taxation. You are not required to file any tax returns if you are in NRI status and are within the exemption limits.
Thanks Ramaonline.
Which broker do you use to do the online trading ?

I understand that you guys have done a lot with limited resources, but trying to isolate yourself from the issue of illegal immigrants issue is not going to help us either. We need to use the momentum of illegal issue to sneak in our provisions (which we already have with the advance degree provision, exception of spouses from cap,capture of unused visa numbers).
I think you are wrong in stating that I do not grasp the issue that AILA is only interested in illegal immigration issue and not in EB3 retrogression. I know that more than you can imagine, which is why I have been urging the forum to stop asking every one to fax the senators with requests to remove hard limits by country or even concurrent filing of I145 when visa numbers are not current. I read on post by a junior member where that person DID GET A CALL BACK FROM ONE OF THE SENETORS OFFICE AND THAT GUY COULD NOT ARTICULATE THE ISSUE WHEN THE SENETOR ASKED HIM IF THE ISSUE WE ABOUT INCREASING H1-B�S.
Exactly what happens when thousands of people contact senators instead of one fax from one organization with one point of contact just so that if some one actually calls back from the senator�s office we at least have some one who could explain the situation in a way that makes sense?
Also, I know how difficult it could be to get an amendment in just as well as you and I also know the fact that the real interest is in solving the illegal immigrant�s issue. The reason for that is the issue that the U.S has is with ILLIGAL IMMIGRATION. The EB retrogression is really our problem, not some thing that is going to raise alarms in the senate. Which is why any amount of hue and cry is not going to change the situation? We should be glad that the advance degree provision, recapture of unused visa numbers and exemption of spouses from cap will make way for a few people and in the process clear up the backlog in EB3 category. We need to back this unanimously instead of trying to introduce new amendments in the last minute. No offence but
