If we can even collectively demand official data, which I think we are entitled to, it will help IV community in estimating the wait times for individual cases. It may also help USCIS in correcting their projections and forseeing the demand.

From the November 2005 visa bulletin
http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_2712.html
HOW IS THE EMPLOYMENT-BASED PER-COUNTRY LIMIT CALCULATED?
Section 201 of the INA sets an annual minimum Family-sponsored preference limit of 226,000, while the worldwide annual level for Employment-based preference immigrants is at least 140,000. Section 202 sets the per-country limit for preference immigrants at 7% of the total annual Family-sponsored and Employment-based preference limits, i.e. a minimum of 25,620.
The annual per-country limitation of 7% is a cap, meaning visa issuances to any single country may not exceed this figure. This limitation is not a quota to which any particular country is entitled, however. The per-country limitation serves to avoid monopolization of virtually all the visa numbers by applicants from only a few countries.
The AC21 removed the per-country limit in any calendar quarter in which overall applicant demand for Employment-based visa numbers is less than the total of such numbers available.
In recent years, the application of the rules outlined in AC21 has allowed countries such as China � mainland born, India, and the Philippines to utilize large amounts of employment numbers which would have otherwise gone unused.
During FY due to anticipated heavy demand, the AC21 provisions are not expected to apply, and the amount of Employment numbers available to any single country will be subject to the 7% cap. It is anticipated that the addition of unused FY-2005 Family numbers and the remaining AC21 numbers to the 140,000 annual minimum will result in an FY-2006 annual Employment limit of 152,000. This will mean an Employment per-country limit for FY-2006 of approximately 10,650.
To illustrate the effect of the reduced per-county limitation during FY-2006 on the oversubscribed countries, it should be noted that during FY-2005 India used approximately 47,175 Employment numbers.
-----------------------------------------------
relevant excerpts from above. 7% cap for any one country that is it., Even unused visas in eb1 and eb2 will not go to the retrogressed countries such as china, india. It will flow downwards.

-------------------
This is a big lie. EB3 went totally unavailable in July to September 2005. When eb3 went unavailable that means no country should have gone over their 7% limit. However, statistics show that certain countries did go over the 7% limit. This is where USCIS/department of state broke the law by giving visas to certain countries that they shouldn't have.

Hi longq,
Not sure why you are still fighting this. I am sure law-makers are aware of the way USCIS implements the law and they don't seem to have any objections.
From the 2006 "CRS Report for Congress" on "U.S. Immigration Policy on Permanent Admissions"
Prior to FY2001, employment-based preference immigrants were also held to percountry ceilings. The American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-313) enabled the per-country ceilings for employment-based immigrants to be surpassed for individual countries that are oversubscribed as long as visas are available within the worldwide limit for employment-based preferences.
It might actually be counterproductive as you might inflect negative sentiments against increasing overall EB-immigration level demanding improportional increase for 'top immigrant-sending countries'.
As the State Department describes, the per-country level �is not an entitlement but a barrier against monopolization.�
Please try to read law carefully. The law will not have simple terms as you think. They have to draft the law in the language of the act. Any way the meaning is same.
The law explicitly say that the 7% country limit does not apply to the EB1, EB2, EB3, EB4, EB5 catagories, if excess visas available in those catagories.
Exactly, but because EB3 is oversubscribed, no 'excess visas' are available for oversubscribed countries. (But we had this discussion before, though).

dude, you sound viscious. You missed his/her point.
His/her point is EB catergory does not depend on advanced education as claimed by your earlier post.
and i did not claim that either. the EB category is based on the job requirement, it is therefore natural that a majority of people that apply in the category also have qualifications that match that requirement. therefore the wonderful solution offered, ie ignore EB category and give GC by PD only, does not work. it would be very unfair to a lot of advanced degree holders that are actually in EB2.
also that is not all that he/she is saying. read his/her posts a few times, maybe they will sound "vicious" too. as for my posts, the facts are what they are...even if you do not like them.
just because the two of you have advanced degrees does not change the facts. btw i have sincere advice for you, something i do not bother handing out a lot. your PD is 4/04. your qualifications are excellent. go and find a job needs your MS rather than short changing yourself. you will be current in EB2 and you will have a GC as soon as the I140 is approved. in your place, i would be doing that asap. of course i do not know your situation. but i hope you will find that opportunity.
its a better solution than moaning about why "EB3 is not discussed on IV".
for the last time, this time really so. this thread is meant to discuss other things. do not force me to close it.

Good question. I was wondering that too. Though I have taken an appointment for Monday 8/24.
Have a weird feeling, all 2004 will be cleared this time. We deserve it the most in EB2 and its been so unjustful for us.

Thanks for your support. I usually don't respond to trolls. It's just best to ignore them. I think that in life in general, it's best not to get angry or harbor hate against anyone. It's self-destructive in the long run.

Bwbawa,
Hats off for your efforts! I was about to suggest adding "We want accountability" to the posters when I saw it in the last one .. maybe these words should be in CAPS, "JUSTICE" "ACCOUNTABILITY" etc.. ?
Good job!
Lets now draw up a list of persons/media outlets/organizations to send them to.
Just created one more poster.
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd4vkcmm_132g6jcsffz&invite=hczhh8x
One of the persons should be Director USCIS.
One letter/poster to each service center.
One I think should be President of US.
Another place could be CNN, FOX news etc.
Another one could be Congressmen
If we have our blogs , we can post them there also.

You know who is real burden, thats H4 visa holders like you. who have nothing to do. they just sit home eat and fight.
you are a classic example of burden to the society.. you are spending all the time here and fighting with everyone.
if anyone starts talking about anything, you just come and start fighting.

Wonder full now EB2 is against H4 visa also beside BE3 ?

Every week I take time to do some research so that I can be on top of the immigration updates, and why not?
Attorneys have absolutely no clue about the problems and despair we are going thru. They drag heels on simple processing and documentation work, oblivious to the fact that even a single day just adds to our woes.
I need to plan more than 6 months in advance for any major change in my life , be it marriage, having a baby, investing in property - u name it. Every single life event has a big question mark after it. Will I get the visa stamped? Will I be able to extend status? Can I do this, Can I do that? Well I guess life has an immigrant in the US (legal or illegal) has a question mark ?
I am going thru this frustrating non-ending wait to get anywhere close to permanent residency. I had filed for labor - Then came the DOL overhaul, where labor certification decisions are rolled out in the most haphazard, and random fashion one can ever imagine. Unable to wait any longer I even quit the company that filed my LC and joined another company
I am waiting for the new co to file a new LC under PERM - Again I need to wait as LCs can't be filed immediately for new hires - Even finding a co that can provide immigration benefits along with other personal benefits becomes a challenge.
Now I wish my old LC never gets approved - It remains pending for a few more years - at least I can get incremental h1b extensions. (thanks to the AC21 silver lining)
I just have another year left on my H1. I have worked for over 5 years legally, never going out of status, paying all taxes.
My spouse even gave up the idea of working here legally. The long wait for immigration benefits is now a part of my life - All I can do is pray that our senators when going for recess while discussing immigration; get some thought into their heads abt the nightmare that legal immigrants go thru....
