EB3 can only be helped when every one else is done.The way the preference categories are setup is that and the numerous cases from 2001 amnesty flooded the EB3 queue causing the retrogression. I don't suppose there can be any thing done to help EB3 specifically. We are at the bottom of the pile. If we have to be helped to get up, every one on top needs to be helped first.
Unless the visa recapture happens, there is no hope. Folks with 2001/2002 PD , keep your spirits up. You are almost there.
All others, if you can try EB2 porting, that's the way to go.

EB-3 won't need help when everyone else is done because the only people left to allocate visas would be EB-3 only . I guess we are just in for a long long wait.

I have my sister in law from India on H4. She got married after her husband got his 797B approved and so she does not have her own 797C. The DMV wants her own 797C approval notice to give her a temporary drivers license. How does she get that? Can she file some petition with USCIS to get it?

How about if we frame a well thought out letter..and present facts and start mass mailing - maybe once a month - every month. That we they will hear from us every month - in bulk.
How about if we dont use words like bonded etc and just repeatedly request the system to be repaired. Use of words like bonded etc can send a wrong signal.
We can also add our stories in there to give that emotional/human touch - eg. I can say that I have been in this country since 1999 and still waiting. If I look at my W-2s from 2001 (when I started working), I must have consistently paid about 10k in taxes to the Federal Govt and another 3k to the State every year. that makes my tax contribution to about 90k-100k in 8years..I think thats huge and I am still waiting, for being a tax paying and law abiding citizen just because the Immigration system is broken. I am a recruiter and I recruit US Citizens in large numbers for large govt projects, offering them really high salaries - while I am helping them "indirectly" realize their American Dream - my dreams are nowhere in the horizon. My wife works in the Child Welfare System and she helps broken families get back on their feet - while she is putting together their broken families - our family is still stranded in the system with no sign of moving forward.
Just a passing thought! I thought I should run this by you all. Thanks for reading.
yes, we need a more refined and professional letter that has a better impression and give us some results. Any help from IV?
Thanks.

Mine was filed in Feb 07. My lawyer has opened an inquiry and its pending too
I feel sorry for you, it shouldn't take that long. I don't know what the hell it's going on at Atlanta PERM center.
If we miss the boat this time, it's going to be tough.

Your statment: "They claim that persons on H1-B do not pay taxes, that they bring in millions of family members and produce thousands of 'anchor babies.' These are the same lies being touted by Tancredo and his breed. Under the H1-B visa we are not exempt from any taxes charged by the IRS."
I challenge you to produce a quote from Tom Tancredo or Lou Dobbs where they say this about H1-B workers. I follow this issue closely and I have never heard of such statements about H1-B workers coming from either of these men.
Before you accuse others of lying, please tell the truth yourself!

The fact that the visas you came in on are "temporary" in nature and only allow you to switch IF you can get green card sponsorship for the proscribed number of slots already tells you that Americans are willing and able to accept a certain limited number of immigrants--and no more.
Those of you who imagine that a temporary visa such as a student visa or H1-B guarantees you a green card are kidding yourselves.

Since these H1b workers have come to the United States our globlal corporations refuse to train or permote Americans. They are not great minds but cheap labor. The H1B visa is a temporary work visa. Please go home after your work is complete

I have read online that S-corp is better than LLC. Is that true?
Below is some info that I have collected:
Anyone who is planning to do business within the State of Maryland, using a name other than their own personal name, must register with the state of Maryland (Business.gov - Official Business Link to the U.S. Government (http://www.business.gov/states/maryland/assistance.html) ). If your business is a sole proprietorship, you do not need to register your business with the state.
For help selecting a legal structure for your business, visit our Business Incorporation (Business.gov - Official Business Link to the U.S. Government (http://www.business.gov/states/maryland/assistance.html)) guide.
Your choices include sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, "S" corporation or limited liability corporation (LLC). Personal liability, taxes, paperwork and regulations vary greatly among the different legal business structures. Your attorney and accountant will play a key role in assisting you in this important decision.
C Corp will be double taxation. While S corp is not.
The profit earned thru C Corp can be taken out by the owner of the company. But he has to pay 15% tax.
What company to start - LLC (or) C- Corp. In our non-immigrant view, this is the difference - Under LLC, your company A's financial profit/loss etc will appear on your tax return. In other words, when you are out there at the consulate requesting a visa (or) for any other purpose and the officer asks for your tax return, there is a likelihood that the officer will ask you about all those financial records in the tax return.. and you will have to explain about your company which could lead to some other questions - what company and who are the employees etc etc ??
Under C- corp - it is like investing in the stock market. It will show that you have invested in a company stock and that company has paid you dividends. Period. So personally i prefer C-corp... there will be less questions in the future. I donot know if i'am right or wrong. Professionals out there can correct me if i'am wrong.
Now for the real differences - Under C-corp, you will be taxed twice - (ie) The company makes profit and there is a tax on that. Now the company divides the profit and gives it to its owners (you), and you get taxed for the dividends. bottomline - if C-corp, then it is like investing in the stock market.
Under LLC - the company profit's trickle down to your profits and you pay taxes only once.

I don't think we can do 'anything' about EB3 I. We are 100% at the mercy of USA (politicians, USCIS, DOS or whoever).
We can write letters, emails, fax, contribute to IV but nothing is gonna help. This is the fact!
We are not going to get our GC when we need it but only when they give it. And, it is not going to happen anytime sooner.
The options that we have in front of us (which would work for sure):
1. Live with this. Don't come to any forum, don't think about VISA bulletin. Take your Gc when it comes to your doorstep. May be by then, we may not need it. We may be tired of being on the same job and GC may not bring any motivation to our career.
2. Move over to EB2 - If possible, take all the pains of changing job, place of living, unpredictability in PERM queue and I140 queue and move over to EB2. But you never know. One of our Indian brothers might have just won a lawsuit to stop us from moving over!! In that sense, EB3 I is worst than illegals. Least wanted legals in the USA!!
3. Get out of this country - Give up the American dream and come to reality and start a new dream. May be Canadian dream or Australian dream...
We are stuck. And, nobody is going to help us. This is hard fact. Believe it.
Wearing my optimist hat, the only thing I can think of is, whether IV supports it or not (reason I say this is - once we talk about this -the core is going to refer to poor 'high five' collection or 'low number of people calling congressmen' etc. Not blaming them. They have their own issues. For us, the problems are bigger. IV core will not do anything for EB3 I exclusive) some 50-100 EB3 I applicants should go to DC and meet high officials, CHC folks and every department that is influential to EB immigrant VISA and make them understand our plight. No guarantee that this would work. But, we will get a first hand response that may help atleast help us to chose from one of 3 options listed above.
The only practical solution, IMHO, is to move over to EB-2. Like they say, If you can't beat them, join them.

Finally, BOA approved your loan or not. I am in exact same situation as you & they have denied my refinance.
No, I was not successful in getting loan approved from BOA last year when I was looking for re-fi. I was too busy with work and other issues and had less time to follow-up and trying to convince/educate them on EAD,etc.. and wasn't sure, If I could. Since mine was a re-fi and the current loan is already in a better rate, I did not take the effort to purse further.

Guys,
I applied AP in Jan 4th 2008. Last week on 13th there was a LUD on AP. Today the status changed to "Document Mailed to applicant". Based on your experiences does this means RFE or Approval. BTW i belong to Nebraska Service Center.
