Its ridiculous this dicussion about EB2 and EB3. Our strength lies in numbers, the more we divide ourselves the less consequence we have.

Probably he explained in a much better way than i' d have explained. Spent 7 years on H1B, caught up in retrogression. I specialize in what is called as Rational Unified Process,train and mentor the application development teams.I've worked for a telecom company (one of the top 3 in USA), got laid off, started the journey again. Presently working for another frontline Financial Services company in the world. Recently, some of my work (with my permission) was included as a practical example for students in an university in St.Louis. however, i was not allowed to teach because of my legal status and constraints of H1B.
Even though it's painful to me, it's much more loss to the students who otherwise would have learned something valuable and make a difference in their careers
As a matter of fact, one of my colleague also applied in the same day, same attorney, same EB3, working for the same telecom company with exactly same designation but applied from Missouri, where as mine was applied in Kansas. He got his green card inspite of the layoffs, where my LC was not approved till today. (in 2002, some cases filed in MO were approved much quicker compared to Kansas) A classical example of how there is no justice &the current system is broken
I don't know if it brings any value here, but thought of sharing this
In the words of the person who sent this to me
I moved to the US on a H1 visa, from India 7 years ago. I have a Bachelors in Engineering and a Management degree as well. I work in the areas of Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing. An area of expertise that helps corporations here in the US become competitive and stay competitive. Among other benefits, my work aids businesses in making informed operational, tactical and strategic decisions and gain competitive advantage.
With this retrogression, It is going be several years before USCIS will even get to my file to adjudicate. While I understand a green card is not my right, I think I have worked towards it for a long time now. I am in this country legally, paying taxes, contributing to this economy, spending my earnings in this country like any other law abiding American citizen.
I have legally asked this country and USCIS for Permanent Residency (PR). My request for PR is not based on the premise that my parents/relatives live here and are citizens in this country. I am not even asking for Permanent Residency because of the country I come from. I am asking for Permanent Residency based entirely on my educational qualifications, professional expertise and the demonstrated contributions I have made to businesses and the American way of Life.
I have also been accepted as an Instructor at a reputed University in California where I will be teaching in my area of expertise. This clearly helps the American society and Industry.
When I moved to the US, I believed America is all about meritocracy. Work hard, prove your worth and you get what you truly deserve. I feel six years is enough time to prove your worth to get a Permanent Residency.
My tax returns, my legal Status documents, my contributions to this economy etc will prove it. What is really disconcerting is the fact that, now I have to continue to wait for I don't know how many more years for USCIS to even look at my credentials, let alone give me an up or down decision. Mind you this wait is not because of any delays attributable to me.
Is this fair ?
If you think you don't need me, at least tell me, in a reasonable period of time. Please do not make me wait indefinitely.

Guys,
Please DO NOT vote "Yes" if you are not intending to contribute $25 for this cause. Whoever enters yes, I will pursue and make sure we get contribution before 31st March. Please make sure you send me PM with your contact information if not paying withing a week.
Please please please, do not put junk on this forum. Keep bumping up anyways.
Core, no offense meant, but please don't shy voting on this. I usually don't see core voting, understandable but keep this as an exception.
P.S.
Based on multiple IM to me on this issue:
I am trying to set up something with IV so that the contribution specifically will go for this cause. Any access money will be transferred to IV regular account. I will publish the account summary at the end of effort for transparency reasons.
Please be specific how to remit this amount ?

I did notify them. First I called USCIS and told them about this, they opened an SR and after sometiem I received some bullshit response for the SR.
Then I took an Infopass appointment to return the EAD (Someone else's). Then this IO was at the counter, she was stunned to see omeone else's EAD and the response for the SR I had opened. I asked her, if they had sent a new EAD to the other person, she said no and thanked me for taking the pains to take an appointment to return it back. That day also, I aksed her about our Namecheck status.
I was happy to see her at the counter today, as she was very nice and help the last time and was hopeful that she might help me with the namecheck status with an Infopass appointment.

Your posts are getting very irritating with this blind belief in this "Unitednations" fellow. Why do you believe in him so much? What has he done?
It is true that all EB1/EB2 overflow visas at this point and in the next few months would get used for EB3 ROW...If and when EB3 ROW becomes current, at that point the overflow visas would be used for EB3 China/India...
That is because the country cap 7% and 5% for dependents is already satisfied for China/India....
You have to understand the caps work in a complicated way..
total EB cap 140K
EB5 - 7.1% anything not used flows downward in the list..
EB4 - 7.1% anything not used flows downward in the list
EB1 - 28.6% anything not used flows downward in the list
EB2 - 28.6% anything not used flows downward in the list
EB3 - 28.6% nothing usually left...Anything left is not used ... Those are the unused numbers everyone wants to recpature....
Schedule A Workers: Employment First, Second, and Third preference Schedule A applicants are entitled to up to 50,000 “recaptured” numbers. These are folks from medical occupations...nurses etc...
In addition to this there is a country cap of 7% for principal and 5% for dependents..
Let's not get irritated...Please concentrate on the information and not the person...

As I alluded to earlier. Specualtion is all one can indulge in. Everyone know what our plight is. Politicians and USCIS act dumb to suit and advance their own needs and agendas. Things will start moving only when the politicians decide it suits their needs

Senthil has articulated legal basis of current system. However, many members feel agrieved by current situation. My displeasure with current law was based on my perception about principles of natural justice and a dogma that one measure (current provisions) should not negatively impact other's basic rights for happiness, equality, nondiscrimination etc. Courts could take a look at how much damage or injury is possible or actually already resulting (stalled careers, family separation, life on hold, creativity-innovation halted) in current system. Atleast it will open up healthy debate and rational measures to address genuine problems.
Could anybody clarify as to whether counting of family members towards annual quota is mandated by congress or it is an administrative provision.
Bill Clinton did a wonderful fix by signing AC21 which corrected many shortfalls of immigration law.
I am personally not impacted by backlog. However, I am feeling bad enough for the failure of current sysem that overlooks human tragedies. 180-day name check fix is a commendable step by USCIS (brought about by healthy debate and do not look at this as court-imposed). As in the scientific world, peer review and criticism is taken seriously in this country. By law suit, we are trying to create peer review or honest analysis about this impasse. No body wins but the truth and humanity.
If there is any way to open up annual quota (recapture, family members exempt from annual limit or any measure I am not aware of), automatically everybody could benefit. It may be also possible for EB3 to interfile or refile for EB2 and take advantage of old priority date and shorten the wait. There is no magic wand! We could help our administrators, law makers, law protectors and law upholders to make appropriate corrections. Hence, scientific and rational dialogue through fair and just means should be our focus.
Let us highlight our difficulties in a logical way. Go about living normal life but stand up for something you believe in.
Honestly, Ineed to do some research on EB3 situation and see if there is something more meaningful to share with IVians.

OK admitted. Happy :). Now FO.
I think he is telling the truth. Otherwise we would have almost 100% attendance for the rally. But it does not seem like. So, i think we "so called higly educated and qualified" need to think about it.
