My 2 cents - CIR ain't happening this year (its almost mid-nov now and health care hasn't even been debated on the floor yer). Even enxt year is a long shot.

Need to back this bill.

Do not misrepresent IV's position.

IV supports every bill that can get relief to our community. However if the sponsor of the bill is not going to take the bill further or the leadership is not going to take it up, there is no chance for the bill at this time. Some bills are simply placeholder bills or introduced to state a lawmaker's position on an issue. At this time the political situation is favoring CIR and nothing else. However much you try and ask them to try piecemeal approach, the inclination is to pursue CIR. This situation can change with time and piecemeal approach may be pursued if CIR fails. Please continue to watch the political analysis and news to know how everything is moving or being influenced by other issues like healthcare.

Guys, Tell me something…If in 2009 total 2K people applied for 485 and the trend continues in 2010, don’t you think that all of EB3 will get their
GC’s in next 2 years??

There are total 75K pending EB2 including India, China. Assuming in 2009 there will be 20K GC’s filed, it still leaves 45-50K visas for EB3 for 2009-10.
Then next year onwards there should be sufficient visas to remove remaining backlog of 100K EB3.

What do you guys think?

Who gave you 2k number ? it is unlikely that there will be just 2k new EB applicants. Even EB5 (which is least subscribed) will by itself have more than 2k applicants in 2009-10 FY.

2 K number comes from I485 inventory report from USCIS. It shows 2K visas filed overall in 2009 till Aug.

Which inventory report are you talking about ?

officially they received 42,308 I-485 in August 2009 itself (which of course includes Family based applications as well)
