I am not understanding why they applied you under EB3 as you have "Ph.D". Well this was in back 2002. You should have take a chance to change the employer who files under EB2 category, end of the day everyone is fighting for status. Why we need to stick that employer (If it is not FT).welcomenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271911322133732621.post-8960023664487266992012-10-12T09:45:26.634-05:002012-10-12T09:45:26.634-05:00ambals,

The month after I applied for 485 in 2007, USCIS messed up and made all categories current. Have been paying for EAD and AP last 5 years. I am not cursing those lucky guys in EB2 that applied 5 years after me and got ahead.

This I think hasn't really increased and happens every year. In fact with current administration it has become more difficult thus you see the increase in spillovers too.<br />2. There are some law firms (who i may not be able to quote) have stated that USCIS has given this very conservative date due to heavy workload, because of legalizing illegals (deferred action applications). They dont have enough resources for both deferred action and EB's. EB2/EB3 India being the most dense category has been moved back to buy time. <br /><br />Obviously everything is speculation and I guess waiting for a couple of months more will tell the realityAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3271911322133732621.post-40354028327246611422012-09-24T13:03:56.768-05:002012-09-24T13:03:56.768-05:00Indian Americans don't really care.

It is widely accepted that the Nov elections might very well be decided by this vote, hence the incumbent government's last minute carrot. If you watched the interviews of Obama and Romney and listed carefully, I think you will know which party is better for our community. Of course the kids have done nothing wrong. But it is amazing to me that legal and high skilled very well educated EB3s and EB2s like us are not able to really influence Washington DC. This effort needs immediate and real attention. Established Indian Americans here who have been here a while should help with this, or at least provide some guidance or a forum to junior and fresh incoming members of this grossly disadvantaged minority of society....where can we get more info on this?
