Yep, there it is folks..the one answer we have all been relentlessy looking for, spending sleepless times on and pursuing with phone calls/advocacy events and whatnot..
As jetflyer recommends, applicants from the said region should be banned from applying, as they are morally inept to jetflyer's standards. AP folks, please go ahead and withdraw your applications and pack your bags and leave. After that everything will be solved and peachy, with jetflyer flying and roaming in the clouds, jetflyer getting the instant GC (and possibly President would knock on his door and beg on his knees for jetflyer to accept citizenship). If the history has taught us anything, it is that problems can be attributed to a single community or blamed on a single region - we don't need to think maturely, its stone ages for chrissakes.
While we are at it, jetflyer, can you let us know your background? So that we will work towards creating a special category exclusively for you and make sure that nobody else qualifies for it, may be like XB (Xenophobe Based) - only selfish and educated 'illiterate' folks need to apply and its instant GC, no need to wait, just print at home like a boarding pass.

Disclaimer: Yes I am from the said region, and some folks' idealogies still shock me to the extent of boiling blood. My above venting reply is just a sarcastic rebuttal.

If you say 'TRUTH' please present your stats, evidence and please don't pass judgments by your surroundings of what you saw and what you heard like a proverbial frog in a well..

My Dear friend please dont get upset. relax. I never said to ban people like you. i just recommend that there should a separate category for AP for h1, GC for everything, then it will not effect whole world. there will be only one category that will be retrogressed.

I am sorry if hurt your feelings. Please dont boil your blood. it is not good for health my friend.

Then why do you need a quota for India??? Why do not you fight for country based quota removal?

You recommend separate category for AP? Who are you to recommend. shut up and do not utter a word against any community. Go donate some money for these advocacy events and port your application to EB2 and do some volunteering for IV. No one needs your recommendations.

I think it not really more people. Only 85K people on H1B come every year. There are 140 K greencards. All H1Bs do not apply for greencards,

So the problem is country limits. Can someone calculate what would be the wait time if country limit is completely removed.

They are numbers on paper.

But in reality, the screw up happens every year, because H1B does not have country limit but GC does.

Out of 65K (some years like 2000,2001 had 195K quota) came every year between 1999-2007, 30K (which is almost 50%) were from India and about 10K from China.

But every year GC has a country limit for India, 3000 for EB2 and 3000 for EB1. So they can process about 6000 per year for India. This includes Spouse and Children.

Out of 30K, assuming about 10K applied every year for GC, counting spouse and children the total applications are about 21K, that alone increases the backlog of GC.

I did not count the L1 side, which was equally / almost same as H1 in the past years.

To rub salt into the wound, out of 6000 GCs permitted for India, USCIS does not process all 6000, they process about only 4000 and waste 2000! Because USCIS is a Government Agency.
