I had my interview on 22nd Jan at chennai. Counsulate approved my visa and collected my passport . They did not return my passport for 8 days. On enquiry I found passport was under PIMS verification
On ninth day, I got the passport back along with 221g blue form, asking me to submit through dropbox original 797 AND 156-157 forms.
Anyone else has similar experience? How long woule it take after the submission to get my case processed.
I am confused and frustrated after reading al PIMS related delays

does this mean that EB3 ROW can't use all available visa for 3rd qtr that is why there were visas available for India EB2 (hence the established cutoff date of Dec 2003). but this should only happen if EB3 ROW is current but it is not.
so my question is how can be available visas to spill over to India EB2 if EB3 ROW is not current and it is still retrogressed???
this does not make sense. anybody????
Section 202(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides that if total demand will be insufficient to use all available numbers in a particular Employment preference category in a calendar quarter, then the unused numbers may be made available without regard to the annual “per-country” limit. It has been determined that based on the current level of demand being received, primarily by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices, there would be otherwise unused numbers in the Employment Second preference category. As a result, numbers have once again become available to the India Employment Second preference category. The rate of number use in the Employment Second preference category will continue to be monitored, and it may be necessary to make adjustments should the level of demand increase substantially.

If some body already posted this other than Indian consuates...please ignore this...
As far as I see all Numbers are same as Indian Consulate.
Thanks

Was your previous approval based on an extension ? [Pending LC/Approved I-140 etc] ?
Does your current transfer require documents from the previous employer ? [LC/Approved I-140] ?
Were you paid the prevailing wages mentioned in the LCA of previous H1B ? Can this be supported by the W2 of last financial year [Not the paycheck].
Did you have I-94 attached in the previously approved H1B ?
Please answer these questions it might be helpful in finding what might have raised the red flag.

I might be wrong, but I think EB2 India came only uptil April 2004.
And the next month (July) EB2 India became current. That is when visa numbers were issued to already pcoessed Sep 2004 cases and approved.

Just wondering how we can make this a paid site which works and where everyone wins. Here are some thoughts in the wee hours:
0) Read for Free
1) Monthly paid subscription (recurring contributors):
a) can post without restriction.
b) get important updates
2) If you don't have a monthly contribution -
a) Your first 5 posts are free
b) After that you can buy "points" to post on IV (say minimum chunk of 25 points for $50 bucks).
To post a message, it costs you a point. If you have a question, then a couple of bucks is a small amount to have your questions answered. However, without incentive people will not answer questions (because it would also cost to post responses/experiences). So, lets say I post a response to your question, then if you (or any member who posted before me) thinks that my response was useful, and adds value to that thread, can give me a "+" which adds to my chunk of points.
This way, only people who have serious queries will post their questions, and those who are confident about their answers will post a response. It will reduce noise on the website and will become a better resource of information. Unfortunately a lot of good stuff gets lost between people venting their frustration and providing incorrect advice.
Ofcourse, we can make certain threads free to post - such as the funding drive, media drive, state chapters etc.
If you really really want lots of responses to your questions, you could also sponsor a thread - say $25 bucks where anybody can post a response for free, for a limited time.
Also certain threads can be made free to post on popular demand.

.. and quit day dreaming.
Go here (http://thomas.loc.gov/bss/109search.html), search for 'To make unused EB3 visas available to bring nurses to the United States through Department of State procedures' , which law makers were instrumental in inserting provisions to benefit Sch.A workers and then go to this page (http://capwiz.com/aila2/home/), put in your Zip Code. Act now and let's write to your law makers. Be brief. Say you are a productive tax paying worker, or something like that. Act in your individual capacity. I did. For 45236.
Do you know, :confused: , how a strong, financially huge group had already written to these congressmen (http://www.coalitiononhealthcarestaffing.org/lame%20duck%20letter%20lables%20-%20house%20of%20reps.pdf) and these senators (http://www.coalitiononhealthcarestaffing.org/lame%20duck%20letter%20lables%20-%20senate.pdf)for RECAPTURE of 90,000 unused visas, AGAIN for Sch. A workers.
I know there was a long discussion about this a while ago. My PD is in 2005 in EB2 category.
Any guesses as to how long it will take without any reform? Is there a good guess on the total number of pending LCs in the queue? I would like to take that number and divide by 1400 (2800 for EB2/2).

I had the same kind of situation . I work for a Fortune 5 company . The prevailing wage some how came to $5000 more than the salary than the company pays me ( I think I am pretty competitively paid ) . Our attorney team told me that this is nothing to worry about . The wage difference actually matters when your I-485 is filed and about to be approved . So you could actually go ahead and file the labor and get the I140 approved and wait for your wage to rise to the levels ( you will have to wait anyhow for a few years ).So if I have to wait for like 3 years for my GC my wage will surely rise to USD 5000 in 3 years . Also remember that the total wage is the sum Salary + Joining bonus + awards + yearly bonus . So you could add these things to give your total wage .
>> The prevailing wage some how came to $5000 more than the salary than the company pays me
That is really odd. Is your I-140 approved?
Joining Bonus, Awards, and Year Bonus are NOT part of salary unless it is defined and guaranteed for every year.
Not a legal advice.

Information we want to publicize, and information that we should keep restricted to members.

That is already happening in state chapters. In my opinion IV still has a need to remain "grass root" organization. And as long as that is needed, "Recurring Contribution" would be more attractive tool. Once we set "Paid membership" concept it will instituionalize and in my opinion at this early stage it is not
advisable.

This can financially drain you out. My insurance agent told me that they cant get the money straight out of your bank account , because how will they find out your bank account number and the bank? How do they know how many bank accounts you have? What if you send money to India before the judgement is entered against you? If you have a house, they can go after your house or car. What about their own insurance policy? Maybe their insurance can also pay as uninsured motorist pay? Retirement income is usually protected in some states and hence I dont think your 401K is at risk. Once your insurance company pays out the maximum, you can basically say hands up, I have given up.
I am already financially/emotionally drained out due to my accident. I guess its going to be deja-vu for me again.
Now I have hardly any money in my bank accounts(around 14K to be precise), and no house , which seems to be a good news and they cannot rip off much.
Only questions I have now are:
1. Any idea generally how long these things can go on?
2. During the trial will there be any restrictions on leaving the country (In genuine emergency situations)?
3. In the worst case if I am willing to give-up my GC..would it still make sense for us(my spouse and 2 kids) to go thru all this emotional stress all over again by staying here and thinkign about what will happen tomorrow...?

There is obviously no insight, memo or communication that USCIS ever provided to us, this is the first time that we even heard from USCIS(That too thru a Senator) on real number. All you can do is make a guess....
Until 2005 we didn't know the word retrogression, so majority of Indians filed under EB-3. So I have distributed 2002, 2003 & 2004 evenly. then gave small EB-3 numbers to 2005/2006
It was in the middle of 2005 was when retrogression actually started or was warned by Lawyesrs(it actually started in oct-nov2005 I don't exactly remember). So people started filling only under EB-2....Since lot of 2004 cases have already been cleared, I put 10K in 2004 and evenly put 20K in 2005/2006...
Great, appreciate your insight. It will greatly help everyone to understand how you reached a conclusion for these numbers. Could you share with us the reason or logic or calculation or study or memo or communitation to support these numbers?
Thank You.

The question is who will fight it. Lawyer website are posting information. But none of them have filed a lawsuit if they really cared about this issue.
.....
You need to understand how legal system works. Lawyer can not file lawsuite by himself/herself. It has to come from Employer, that too, when employer's H1-B petition is denied based on memo info or H1-B worker is denied entry. Damages (or Loss) must be shown before a civil suit can be filed.
Have a good day!
