A visa number gets allocated only when administrative approval is granted by NVC. Most likely when you applied (packet 3) last year your case was current and visa numbers was available, however by the time they approved your case the window was closed and PDs became U.
NVC does not order a visa number for cases pending only for cases that they have approved/completed.
They do this every month around the 10th like clock work, if by the 10th of any month your case is approved/completed by NVC & your PD is current they order a visa number for you from DOS.
We called the NVC 2 days ago about the status of our application and the guy on the phone (who was, BTW, very polite and patient) told me that everything was processed and as soon as our PD was current we would get an interview appointment very soon.
We also sent an email-inquiry to the NVC last week and just today we got the reply :
"Unfortunately, this case no longer has a visa number available. This is
because the applicant' visa category is oversubscribed, meaning that
the available numerical limit of visas able to be issued was reached.
Upon reaching the numerical limit of visas able to be issued, only
beneficiaries who have a priority date earlier than listed in the current
Visa Bulletin may be allotted a visa number in this visa category. "
So, that must mean that they had a visa number for us back in August 2007 when they sent us the DS230-I and the bills for the visa fees although according to the VB for August/September 2007 EB3 ROW was "U" ?
Hmm, I have to admit that I have kind of given up on understanding how this all works. I'm just looking forward to that day when we finally receive our GC and are able to move to the States.
Good luck to all of you and even more patience !

Is it ok to send faxes? and is there a format that lot of people are using or its personal story for every one?
cheers
I talked to a staff member at senator Barbara's office, and the staff member said, Faxes and emails are responded and replied by staff reps. Only written (typed) letters go to Senator's attention. She also advised me that if this is something you need the senators attention on, do not send fax or email, send a letter with postage paid.
I explained to her the visa -flip flop, and she said most likely the senator will read and send an inquiry, The senator is very good at responding to letters from constituents.
That is exactly why we need to send them letters, please look at the format and add some personal details, gives it a little personal touch.

I'm in a similar situation and I want to ask you if DOL withdrawn your file from the backlog center if you had a PERM application approved.
Is it Ok to have one application pending in the Backlog center and a PERM Labor certification approved if the applications are for 2 different jobs?
Thanks,
Valy

Hello,
My cousin H1-B has been selected in the lottery, so her H1-B is in process for this year, but her husband's H1-B was approved last year, so he is planning to get H1-B stamped and come here. If she waits for her H1-B to get approved and come then it will be sometime the end of this year. Is it possible that she can come here on H-4 visa while her H1-B is still in process? Need urgent help on this. She has never been to US.

EB3 Unavailable - If this does not make you donate to IV's cause....
EB2 No Movement - If this does not make you donate to IV's cause....
Country does not matter...it will be the same for all.
Please donate to IV for representation of an "UNAVAILABLE" community, by visiting http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/misc.php?do=donate.
"An IV for a physically weak person gives them strength to get back up,
An IV for an EB backlogged community gives them strength to fight back for their rights."
I don't have clear picture on what IV is planning to do now except that FOIA drive. I request the core team to inform all IV members explicitly about their plan. I guess there will be more donations than they expect.
suggestion: while sending emails that there is a reply to your post, they should also add the actions they have been/ or planning to take.

"Charak says (In Sanskrit): Rinam Kritwa Ghritam Piwet ..."
I remember, some one mentioned to me about this same stuff. Centuries old charwak philosophy "Just do it kind of mentality" which led to hippy culture in 1960. Its seems to be making a come back :)
Its borrow or steal but live happily :)
Good points by the way. All this shows that we have to prepare for long years as this economic and social conditions are expected to last atleast until 2011 as per economic experts.

Spoke with Carl Shusterman today and he has requested a copy of my law suit. He his heading a meeting with AILA in two weeks and it appears wheels are in motion for bill/amendments to cspa to protect children who have already aged out!!!!!!!!!! so you may wish to keep checking out this thread http://expatsvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23 also subscribe to his news letter at www.shusterman.com
I am sure all of us who have found ourselves in this horrible situation will keep watching.
It is not before time that this piece of legislation got a review to close some of the gaping holes in it.
I am hoping in particular that those of us whose children aged out while our labor certification was languishing in the backlog centers get to join their families again.
Thank you for posting this update.

Why are you equating quality of life to owning a house?
- Because you are an "owner"? No you are not! You are renting the house from the bank
- Because you have a backyard?- go out and rent a house. They are a dime a dozen, will cost you half the cost of your monthly mortgage payment
- Because you have peace of mind? Really. Read your other post on people getting laid off
- Because your (ok someone else's) kid asked if you are poor? Really? A kid's innocent question is going to make you gamble (that's what investing in an immovable asset is in your situation) away a decade of savings?
- Because you want to give your child the best possible childhood? Think about it, if things turn for the worse either in your economy/company/job (absolutely do not wish it on anyone), and you are forced to move/sell the house/get foreclosed upon etc., how much more have you hurt your family and traumatized them in your effort to give them a great childhood?
- How many nights of peaceful sleep have you lost lying awake wondering what you would do if you/your spouse lost a job, had to move etc.?
I still cannot understand how/why someone would buy a house in the bay area ($700K+ for a SFH in a minimally liveable area) and $1M+ in places like Cupertino.
I will enjoy my quality of life in my rented condo (with a rent 1/3rd of the monthly mortgage payment it would take to buy it) and take my 2 year old to the park if he feels like he needs a back yard. Dont need to mow the lawn either!
Thumbsup!!
There is a perception on this board that renting => no quality of life. After going through some of the replies, I see that some are trying to convince themselves of their decision to buy a house.

pappu,
Is there any thing we can do to save IV forums, from all these so called smart people.
Simly these guys want to derail the whole discussion either it is EB3 push or visa capture or any kind of fruitful discussion.
I know it is difficult to stop creating and screening ids, atleast can you delete some unrelated postings and make sure that there is some healthy discussion continues and people like me wont stop visiting IV.
