Short answer is "NO".Assuming direct filing in consular Process, in general it takes less time (for most clear cases around 6 months to 9 months) with comparison to AOS. But that pattern was of old times. Consular processing also has to follow Visa Bulletin. Second factor also need to be considered is what ratio is for consular processing. If 10 % of total EB3 + 2 cases might have gone to consular processing then again those US visa offcies will also be overwhelmed. Seeing July-August load ,this time it is very hard to predict consular processing. But just sake for the argument if my prediction for future visa bulletin will become correct then MOST EB3 - 2003/4-consular processing filers will definately get their GC before December 2008. That surely can not be predicted for AOS seeing namecheck etc.
Note: After some time (2008 end) you will also see fence jumpers (AOS to
consular)as people will hear fast "initial" approvals from consular
processing.
Thanks for your prompt reply! I think CP filers would be around 5%. Atleast in my organization, in July, 70 people filed 485 and I am the only CP applicant!

There are some docs who are working Overtime and charging $50 or $100 more for Immigration appt ... you might have to dorive down a little bit.
Try to find a Desi doctor - they can do the Imm check up right now if you pay them more and request.
The doc i did was charging $50 more for special evening Immg appts - luckily i took appt On June 15th before the rush started and saved some dollars.
Wish the statement from your attorney is true and we all will be able to file 485 through the month of July with no issue. I'm luckly to get the paper work done and ship the package to Attorney and waiting on their action, But have few friends who could get Medical Appointment only around second/third week of July. Also this EW Other Worker Quota that became unavailable and also rejection of these applications has made us worry a lot, although it is a diffferent category we are at fear that this could happen to us. Reading the VB again, the reduction in the EW annual limit to 5,000 began in Fiscal Year 2002... So this category has only 5000 Visas and I'm not surprised this bacame unavailable and think this category is far more crowded than others... We should be fine atleast in July... May be too optimistic... but nothing wrong in hoping for the best and wish all the members can file asap.

I am happy to report that within the first 4 days of this campaign we have already hit a potential fundraising total of $3,500!!!
We need to keep this campaign moving forward, we need IVians to support this cause! Our goal by end of Year 1 is $45,000!!! We need your support to make this initiative a success.
Lets get IV's name out on the national stage by showing our presence at these events. Imagine the impact we will have when they see Team IV walker/runners in Immigration Voice T Shirts at the finish line of all the three walking/running events we have picked and at several other local events as well.
Go IV, Go Team IV!!:)

The title of the thread is misleading.
IV is already helping. The aim of IV is to eliminate retrogression so that everyone does not have to wait. We also understand that EB3 I is in a much greater mess than anyone else.

...who said that they are from non-IT field , it suggests that more than 90% affected are from IT and EB2 ? I want to see hard numbers....
I am not sure what you are going to achieve with the field type. You have to consider some inherent facts about the Employment Based immigration...
1) Most (not all) applications are from India
2) Most (not all) applicants from India are in IT field
3) Most applicants, in general, are filing EB2.
If you consider all these facts, it becomes apparent that IT/EB2/India is not something they are purposely focusing on, it just happens to be that way. If you want more information on this data, I suggest you check out '' that shows Country and EB type by each user and whether they got audited or not.
I dont think we necessarily need people to describe their field for the initiative we plan to take against late audit responses.

This rumor from fragomen's site is creating a havoc everywhere.
These rumors are wreaking havoc on people who are not in a perfect position to control the timing of filing. Many lawyers and many employers will file between 25th and 31st July. And I can accept that. My own HR and lawfirm have made it clear that we will file before 31st July but there is no guarantee that it will be sooner than that and any sooner than that is not neccesary.
Those who are filing on their own can file on July 1st. But those who are depending on lawyers and their own HR, please relax and stop thinking too much.
Never trust the FDBL assholes. They've screwed me multiple times in the past and the irony is that I've paid them for that.

Well that would be an option make H1b portable.
But then most consulting companies will not hire H1B's because it won't be cost effective.
Anyway just by checking most of this consulting firms businesses they will be able to uncover all the fraud.
It's very unethical to make you lie on your resume and then try to market you to an employer with fake experience, also nobody has responded to my comment. Real Companies like PWC, IBM pay you while you're on bench, while this indian consulting companies break the law by not doing that.
Hmm, being an Ex-IBM Employee and for the record, let me tell you something. As long as one can charge his or her time to a billable project, no one cares. Otherwise, all you get is a grace period of 2 paychecks to prove the worth of employment. I'm telling you this truth with a verifiable employment history of more than 8 years in USA.
My friend, all that matters is how much revenue one can generate. Just doesn't matter whether you are working for Big5 or small and tiny consulting companies.
Challenge me if i'm wrong

Yeah some forget to be civil...but i believe that these few don't represent all of of IV.
And we are all subject to emotions and can make these mistakes as well where we forget to be civil.
I agree there needs to be more clarification on IV's goals and current pursuits....coming soon....a better FAQ page ;)
Correct, I don't represent IV. But here is my observation. Every time some one gets a response from ordinary members such as myself, these members asking so called "legitimate" questions, these members such as bitzbytz, rajuseattle et al, these guys will immediately cry foul, uncivil, being manhandled, abused and battered. If you want to have a debate, be prepared to handle the debate and don't pretend that you are melting when someone tells you that your idea is foolish. Either you want a debate or you don't. And if you want to have a debate then why not come up with a response in support of your arguments instead of engaging in name calling like "uncivil" etc.
I know when someone is asking a genuine question. Its no rocket science and I can tell when someone is genuinely asking a legitimate question and when someone is trying to throw mud on work done by others. It enrages me to see these people not doing anything but at the same time, damaging work done by others.

my company lawyer responded to my similar question saying they too fear the mid month retrogression, and will try to file ASAP. However, the explanation offered in other posts in this thread (notably, logiclife and shantak) does sound compelling. as someone said, file asap if you can. if you cannot, do not worry, as 1. it won't help and in 2. my humble opinion, shutting the door for ALL within the first month of opening the door for ALL, will be a shame, and will set a very bad precedent, so most likely they will wait at least until end of July before the shut the doors.
