Another method is to pay by check. You can write a check and mail it to IV address. But we prefer monthly recurring. It helps us estimate budget ahead of time .

Thanks Pappu,

Done Recurring payment without paypal.

It seems like too much talk and less work. We have been reading one or the other news about this bill almost everyday. I guess it is better to ignore these article and wait for IV's updates. It seems like EB3 people cannot get a break in this country.

It depends on how much improvement you expect.
There is a fundamental issue in EB3 mainly for Indians. The solution is tricky for Indians.If you see no of H1b applicants every year is well above 100k if you include cap exempt also. If you include L1 and others It could be 200k. Half of them could apply green card. If you include dependents the total gc applicants are more than double of the gc quota of 140k. Currently 60% of H1b and 80% of L1 are Indians and that percentage is increasing. So things could become worse in coming years. Removing country quota could improve some extent as the current wait time for Row is already more than 5 years. When they remove country quota it will be 7 years for everyone and that will increase every year. Eb2 will be in much better shape. Waiting time could be 1 year for everyone or less.
But if hr3012 is not passed then waiting time will be 12 years in 2013. So 7 years waiting time will be better than 12 years.
There is a stronger lobby to increase H1b quota when they try to increase green card numbers. So in any case chances are very less for a very big improvement in EB3 unless recapture or STEM bill.

while you are at this, why not also mention the reason for so many people coming from india?

2/3rd of india's population is below the age of 35 years i.e. over 700 million people born after 1975.....

look at it this way -

* the entire continent of europe, has 700 million people of every age group.....

OR

* if u leave out china, india, europe, and usa - the rest of the world doesn't have 700 million below the retirement age of 60 years.....

so the rest of the world has smaller number of potential employees as compared to young population below the age of 35 years.......

ignorant jerks in this other group keeps calling it "fraud"..... probably someone needs to show them basic maths & how to add/count....
