I feel that because of the preadjudication of July 07 applications, USCIS now has a better idea of the application backlog. They also know that usually at the end of the fiscal year they have EB-1 and ROW EB-2 visas left; they might have therefore decided to finish off the EB-2, 2004 cases, even if it means consuming more than the annually designated 3200 visas early in the fiscal year.
The reason for controlling Priority Dates month by month, is because USCIS does not (or did not) know how many people will become eligible to file I-485 if the dates move by a "X" amount. Once USCIS knows how many I-485 applications it already has in its backlog, Visa Bulletin becomes a mute point.
I suspect USCIS will quickly clear off EB-2, 2004 and will then make the dates "U". Then in early summer it will reevaluate how many visas have got consumed and will likely get consumed in the next few months of 2010, and at that point may move the dates further into 2005.
This is just my feeling...........I hope I am wrong, though, and the dates keep inching forward every month.

Shouldn't IV ammend the text of the email to better reflect the negative impact of the Bernie Sander's ammendment ? The Senators (who are known for not often reading voluminous legislation in detail) may have voted with their hearts for this ammendment thinking this was going to help students in their states. I think IV members who are their constituents should have a means of letting their Senators know the effect of their actions and for those who voted against it they should be congratulated for voting against this harmful ammendment. They may have thought of this as win-win situation. Yet they may have not known the following points (read the study its detailed):
http://www.nfap.com/pdf/0507brief-business-immigration.pdf
U.S. businesses pay over $91 billion a year in state and local taxes directed toward public education, while the mandated scholarship and training fees U.S. companies pay for each H-1B professional hired are approaching $2 billion since 1999, according to this National Foundation for American Policy analysis. These findings undermine the argument that companies should not be permitted to hire international students and other foreign nationals on skilled visas unless they do more to support U.S. education.
For example Bernie Sanders spent his time barraging Microsoft and used quotations from Microsoft executives to argue for the $5000 fee for H1-B filings. Had other Senators been educated on how the H1-B program has benefitted the US economy they would have reconsidered their positions :
The figures presented in this analysis show the argument against H-1B visas further falls apart when examining the already substantial taxes, fees, and charitable contributions made by U.S. companies. The Gates Foundation alone, funded by Microsoft stock, has contributed $3 billion to U.S. public education since 1999.
Record of Senators who voted for or against the ammendment (http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=1&vote=00179)

Representative Patrick J. Tiberi (R-OH 12th)
I think the Republicans on that list are somewhat supportive anyway.

My concern is that if CIR does not get taken up sooner that May07...it may be postponed to 09 due to election politics being a hot potato issue...what I would suggest is that we start working from the first day the congress starts and whether through QGA or through indiviual senators try to pass just non-contraversial benefits like ability to file EAD after I-140, recapture of Visa numbers and Spouse and kid not included in the Visa numbers and intorduce this bill and try to pass it.
What we need is a interim EB bill.
The first stpes may be to indentify all non-contraversial issues and then come to a common understanding on those...advise all state chapters meet thier senators about these same issue(ALL members are talking the same)
Intorduce these no later than End of Jan 07 for discussion. in senate..Lets explain to them that its going on getting postponed due to the fact senators are postponing the benefits to us syaing it will be included in the CIR...and so on...they have been very sincere in delaying this intentionally....
If we need to get started on the first day of congress I suggest we start getting organozed now...
What do you guys think!!

(a) General.

this clause is very clear

Applying EB PD but using Visa number from FB Quota would be a awesome. Not sure what complications this may cause on the FB side. This seems like a visa-leak (like memory leak) scenario from FB. This will put GC Holders dependents at a disadvantaged position as compared to us who don't have GC yet because EB PD will always be ahead to FB PD due to 'Visa-Leak'.

Please hang in there. I am sure you will get yours card soon...
For various reasons, I got my greencard 14 years after entering this country and 14years after getting my Ph.D. Life throws up challenges and we have to face them with courage.
Ha ha Congrats....
Story of my life. I complain about delay with my application. Someone joins me and tells me they are in the same boat and the very next day that someone leaves the boat and jumps into "greener" pastures. Everyone is leaving the boat and I seem to be left out :(
Who else are in my boat? (Application with an officer for over 2 weeks and still status = "Initial Review")

I got following reply from Sen. Franken
Thanks for contacting me about the DREAM Act. I appreciate you sharing your concern with me on this issue.
There are thousands of young people in the United States who have gone to school, done their homework, participated in school activities, received their high school diploma and wish to go to college - but whose parents brought them to this country illegally. These youth face several barriers to a college education. Federal law currently limits states' ability to offer undocumented immigrants in-state tuition, and they are also not eligible for federal student financial aid.
I do not believe that we should punish children for their parents' actions. For many of them, the United States is the only country they consider home. With the chance to attend college, they will be able to fully contribute to our nation's future. The DREAM Act, S. 729, would allow undocumented immigrants who came to the U.S. as children and pursue a college education or enlist in our nation's military to apply for conditional permanent resident status.
The DREAM Act, of which I am a cosponsor, is bipartisan legislation narrowly tailored for undocumented students who have lived in the United States since they were children, succeeded in school, and want to be productive members of society. Requirements to be eligible for the DREAM Act include having arrived in the U.S. at age 15 or younger; having graduated high school; having served in the military or attended college for at least two years; and demonstrating good moral character. The DREAM Act is the chance we're giving these young people to earn legal status by working hard to attend and succeed in college.
Again, thank you for contacting me, and I look forward to hearing from you in the future on this or any other matter of concern to you.
Sincerely,
Al Franken
United States Senator

Organizers, do you know how many people have confirmed attendance? Reason I ask is because I am currently scheduled to be on work-related travel during the advocacy dates - but if you are short on people, I can try to cancel and attend the event.
Please let me know.
