My 2 paisa ( though it has no value anymore anywhere)
First and foremost we have to realize that we are fee paying customers to USCIS. We have a right to demand better customer service. The reports and other kind of data they are releasing currently is an insult to the high skilled immigrant community. It is time we call out that the king (USCIS) has no clothes. They have been feeding us garbage disguised as reports and offical data. Anybody with a high school degree would say that the reports and data provided have zero value since they are not complete.
How do we get the right kind of information from USCIS?
Here are the steps
a) Send letters to the Dept chief asking for the data we need and wait for 3-4 weeks for a response. ( Data we should ask for, apps pending with PD's and EB category for every month starting from 1998)
b) Send another letter to the President and copy USCIS chief on that. Wait for another 3-4 weeks
c) If we do not get any satisfactory information after the previous 2 steps and 2 months of waiting, we should do a relay protest in DC and in front of all the USCIS centers until they provide us with the exact data.
By doing this we woould have put enough spotlight on USCIS and also our problmes would have got enough coverage in the media. From here we can try and work with the various agencies to push for our other agendas. Now we will have a clearer picture of what the situation is and ask for the right things. At the same time the agencies will have the better information with them to look in to our issues.
Comments are welcome.
CIS is answerable to nobody. While they will be more responsive to complaints and suggestions at a broad level, individual case processing is something that can't be controlled.
It is a problem of ridiculous amount of power in the hands of people who can't handle it - the IOs. They can do anything. It is not hard for them to justify saying the older cases are complex, whereas in reality, it might a case of plain laziness to go fetch the case files.
So, if they are processing at random, there is nothing we can do except zip up, pray and wait for luck to turn our way.

What question and answer?
Here is the transcript
00:31:28 As president trump who would be the first person you would say you're fired to?
00:31:34 >> They want me to say, look, i have had -- >> they want you to say if -- >> if you're president -- >> who's the number one bad guy right now you would fire in america?
00:31:48 >> Well, can I be honest?
00:31:50 I don't want to say -- there's so many of them.
00:31:51 There really are.
00:31:53 There are so many of them.
00:31:54 You look at the department of education.
00:31:55 It goes for blocks and blocks and blocks.
00:31:59 Education should really be -- we have to -- like a little bit of supervision.
00:32:03 >> You wouldn't argue -- >> it should be a local thing.
00:32:07 >> I was going to mention education to you because the last word with the chinese, isn't it that they are educating their people better now than america is doing and that's why they're also jumping ahead?
00:32:19 Isn't that true?
00:32:20 >> You know where they're educating a lot of their people?
00:32:23 At our schools.
00:32:24 It's the most amazing thing.
00:32:25 They come over, they learn, they go to harvard, they go to wharton, they go to yale, they go to the best schools, then we force them to leave.
00:32:30 >> Okay.
00:32:31 >> No, no, we force them to leave.
00:32:34 >> When we come back, I'll ask you as a man who wins and knows how to pick a winner, which is where I come in, how are we going to win?

The visecral reaction to my thread (not threat!) has only gone to prove my hypothesis - self interest is the ONLY binding factor amongst 'highly skilled' workers
No one can claim to be 'superior' by virtue of their EB classification and take refuge under the current system by preaching that "it is what it is, you accepted it, so play by it!". What a sudden love fest for a system that you cared to fix not too long ago? So, what changed? The sudden realization that there are a few erudite and vocal EB3 I's that can speak their mind and ask the difficult questions?!
Willwin is a rare gem that could see the point in my earlier thread ... Others, my post is not 'ugly', it is the reflection that you see when I hold a mirror up to you. Dont like it? Dont blame me.
Others are scared sh*it that the real deal will be revealed. Just goes to prove that if the current system goes to serve YOUR narrow self interest, you will go to no end to justify it AND defend it... even at the cost of creating deep divides amongst a larger group. Suddenly, your sense of outrage has been channeled against EB3 I's seeking a voice and not against the 'system' that you claimed to care fixing. Nice. A chameleon would be proud to welcome you to the family.
Dont worry. Sleep easy, no one is going to call Ron or a shrink. I have exposed the duplicity that defines your being ... and you can rest easy knowing that your sense of 'logical reasoning and moral outrage' cannot stand scrutiny on a simple b-board, let alone a court of law ...
Lets get together to help fix this problem. Let EB3 I's find their voice and make the appeals that they need to. They DO NOT need the approval or outrage of EB2's trying to protect their new found turf. Get the drift?
Many EB3 I's have waited 5+ years in dead end jobs and possibly single incomes only to see EB2 come hither and walk easy. No jealousy or blame. Just the hard question to those that holler back "dont complaint EB2 was meant to be a higher category" ... want to respond to a "higher calling" ... i.e., holding up your petitions to objective scrutiny not prejudiced by narrow goals?
After all, one would find that MOST work done by EB2 I's does not really require a Masters degree. Just ask a high school Java whizkid.
I rest my case and will not waste my time responding to emotional outbursts or getting dragged into the cesspit of poor logic. Got it?
Peace!
Very Well Said

The only thing we could do guys , is to get a lot of media attention , make the whole world know about our problems....
If we dont get the GC yearly number increased for India , we should plan to go back,..
How long can i wait to file 485..I am pretty much sure( i wish i am proven wrong) that the Lawsuits are not gonna help us.
They did nothing wrong legally , its a tradition that DOS doesnt change the visa bulletin in a month..ITS NOT A LAW.
The max we could get from a lawsuit is damages(financials) , and as USCIS is a fees funded organisatiom , its gonna come back to us
In one way we should be happy that the USCIS is cleaning its internal backlog,
Please go back .Why wait for the change in law .No one is stopping you . Dont discourage

Not sure I understand your scenario.
Why would the dependent not file AOS at all ? Are you refering to CP ?
My good faith best understanding is FB2 is not far behind. please refer VB.
Well, you assume family members can get AP and EAD after submitting I-485. Not true for many people. Take myself as an example, I was not lucky enough to file my I485 in 2007. So with a PD of early 2007, I have none of the benefit from AOS at all.
Although for me it's not a big deal because my wife will soon get her PhD and will file for her own immigration petition. This actually works better for us, because it will make the line much shorter and both of us will get the green card much quicker.
However, for those who do not work and solely depend on their spouses to get green card. This change can spell disaster for them during the long wait caused by retrogression without the ability to file AOS.

I have to get the EMP LETTER latest by Friday June 29th from employer.
For that i have to sign the agreement by June 28th Noon time.
Today is June 26th and they are still working on agreement with their lawyers and would probably give me the final agreement tomorrow 27th noon time.
Between 27th Noon and 28th Noon how can i consult a lawyer ??
It all depends on how you want to lose the money.
(a) Pay the employer for breaking the agreement
(b) Do nothing and let employer send your case to collection agency. Ignore the collection agency and get black mark on your credit history (and lose money on higher mortgage/ auto loan rates, credit card interest, credit denial due to derogatory comments on credit report)
(c) Do nothing and let employer take you to court. Then fight the case and
(i) pay lawyer if you win
(ii) pay lawyer and the employer if you lose
At the end of the day, ask yourself how much it is worth to get a GC. If you think going through all this is not worth it, tell you employer to go take a walk and quit. You can start all over again with someone new.

We all are equally frustrated with the situation we are in. We can always find reasons to fight within our community (EB Vs FB, Legal Vs Illegal, EB1 vs EB2 Vs EB3 - the list is endless). These outburst of frustrations / arguments and counter arguments do not take us anywhere.
Let us keep supporting IV and build a strong partnership of interested parties. Let us focus on areas where we can agree. Many among us worked hard to build this community, let us try to strengthen and preserve it.

While I was in school I did hear about desi body shoppers, but never thought of using one. But it so happened, that I was offered a job with a company that makes defense stuff and they wanted to use my service since I had a specific set of skills. They couldn’t have anyone, other than a US citizen or PR, working on other premises as it was considered to be a secure zone. So these guys hired an office for me in the building next door to theirs and even lined up a desi consultant that the HR guys knew so that I could work for them as a consultant. I was working on my OPT initially and then got my H1 through the desi body shopper. As most desi body shoppers go, he started eating into what was paid for the hr that I put in. The company that wanted to hire me was even paying this desi guy to get my GC, but he made sure that he was doing it as slow as possible. Finally both the company and I got sick of the whole thing and I finally found a job where they were more than happy to sponsor my H1 and GC. The defense company that I worked for before at least until a couple of months back was checking up with me to find out if I had got the GC, I am sure now the situation would be different.
The point I was trying to make was, no one wants to use a body shopper if possible, but at times you are forced into a situation where that is the only option available. I am not asking anyone to empathize with people who are working for a body shopper who is fleecing them, but at the very least don’t condemn them.
You're kidding right? No one I know has ever used a body shopper. It is only on forums like these that I hear about people who got H1Bs through a body shopper and are now complaining they don't get paid and wondering if they are in status.

Please send details with scaned delivery proof to Email: "PublicAffairs, CISOmbudsman" <CISOmbudsman.Publicaffairs@dhs.gov>. This will help him to go to bottom of issue. Step has to taken to avoid this in future. my 2 cents..
Send your scanned delvery proof even if you have your receipt #s on hand because the next problem will be the ACTUAL (hardcopy) receipt of the receipt documents.
