Thank you Lazycis. I had posted a thread a couple of days ago when the report came out.

We are looking at our members doing some analyis work on this report and sending us their feedback. If you and others are interested, pls do so.

This will help IV efforts in help USCIS in fixing their problems and suggesting solutions to USCIS.

6. Implications for Certain Employment-
Based Second and Third Categories
Absent legislation providing for additional visa numbers,
the Ombudsman estimates that some individuals under the
“India” category in the Visa Bulletin now may wait at least 10
years to complete immigration processing and obtain a green
card. This estimate assumes maximum annual preference category
and per country usage. If these projections are correct,
affected individuals will spend many years of their working
lives as applicants for green cards, i.e., as neither temporary
workers nor lawful permanent residents.

Looks like stage is set. People already in queue as of 07/2009 have 10 years and no one new can apply for next 10years :mad:
