Hi NK2006,
I am afraid my analysis reflect the reality. I have heard a number of people talking about this and polls have shown that is the case. Iraq war & scandals were the driving force behind this. Nothing else. Even liberal newspapers such as The Nation report that is the case:
http://www.thenation.com/blogs/capitalgames?pid=137918
Americans are really disappointed with the GOP in general and I personally know a leader of an anti-illegal alien group who voted against his Republican representative. That is true. It is odd, but that is the truth.
Regards,
Ombudsman
So your analysis is: people are unhappy with GOP that “some” of them are in favor of immigration measures and punished them by giving control to a party where “most” of them are certain to support those same measures ????!!!???!!! Its most illogical and even comical analysis I ever heard.
Elections show that American people are much smarter than some politicians/talk show/TV show hosts hoped for. True, elections are fought on much stronger issues like war, economy etc and exit polls have shows that people are not too concerned about illegal immigration issue despite of coverage given by likes of Lou Dobbs. Also based on the fate of candidates who made the immigration their main plank, it can be argued that majority is actually in favor of such measures…..election results are a lot complicated to say anything like that…..but….its a much more logical conclusion that what you were saying.

I think pre-adjudication solves this catch-22 situation, and they have been pre-adjudicating quite a bit over the past two years. So, I dont think that this is an issue.
>> I think pre-adjudication solves this catch-22 situation
No. It does not.
Since, as per letter, country of chargeability is assigned at the time of approval (i.e. when immigrant visa number is assigned)

What I understood is that an alien can be granted a PR only when visas are available...
BUT ... we are asking CIS to allow to apply for AOS when immigrant visa is not available...
Incorrect! Please read again.
Section 1255. Adjustment of status of nonimmigrant to that of
person admitted for permanent residence
(a) Status as person admitted for permanent residence on application and
eligibility for immigrant visa
The status of an alien who was inspected and admitted or paroled
into the United States or the status of any other alien having an
approved petition for classification under subparagraph (A)(iii),
(A)(iv), (B)(ii), or (B)(iii) of section 1154(a)(1) of this title or \1\
may be adjusted by the Attorney General, in his discretion and under
such regulations as he may prescribe, to that of an alien lawfully
admitted for permanent residence if (1) the alien makes an application
for such adjustment, (2) the alien is eligible to receive an immigrant
visa and is admissible to the United States for permanent residence, and
(3) an immigrant visa is immediately available to him at the time his
application is filed.
This means that visa number must be available at the time of filing I-485.
For a minute let us assume you are correct and If it can be ONLY be changed by Law, then why did DHS secretary mention in the memo as ... "including a possible pre-application filing procedure for adjustment cases"
I am not trying to argue... I am just trying to justify
Well, Read again. I hope it answers your question.
Here is the test from newsletter
What regulatory or legislative changes (including a possible pre-application filing procedure for adjustment cases) are recommended to facilitate caseload planning and make optimum use of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudication capacity?

Have a good day!

sorry but this is ridiculous. If the US has a skill shortage and wants foreign workers, it should ensure that the foreign worker and his/her family are given the same rights that a domestic workers family enjoys.
If they can't give that right, why do they want to invite the foreign worker at all?
Its true that they are not forcing this on us and we are free to go back anytime. But still isn't the inequality pretty clear here? and this country is supposed to be all about equality...
I agree with you. This policy basically amounts to treating "skilled labor" as some inanimate robots with no emotions or needs whatsoever. If H4 folks are free-loaders, then so are the dependents of EB green card holders .. after all the dependents didnt go through labor cert, did they ? As for the equality hogwash, I have long stopped believing that .. it exists only technically; but reality is what is staring us right now .. retrogression for coming countries with large number of skilled people, backlog "elimination" centers and infinite waits to be given any meaningful rights. Why ? simply because we were idiotic enough to believe all this "meritocracy" and "equality" propaganda.

I just found out that I will not be getting the stimulus as my wife is cannot get a SSN. In addition, we will not be getting stimulus amount for our American born daughter.
We have been here for a year and a half and while there are some benefits to being in America, my wife and I are trying hard to understand why we moved here from Canada (saving taxes is no benefit when compared to having to deal with ignorance all around). My being here is benefiting an American company (which did not have the expertise that I brought to them and this country) and thereby this country.
If I were to leave the company, a number of people would lose their jobs and I would take my expertise somewhere else.....
Is it true that almost everything done in America is poorly planned and lacks foresight and common sense? Our experience here to date is giving us this impression.....
I would be interested in joining with others against the IDIOTS who don't understand who is benefitting this country.

I bet they have only issued around 120,000 EB visas in the year 2006 (Oct 2005 - Sept 2006), even though the quota is around 250,000. (140,000 direct + 100,000 from family other category).
TheLPR flow for EB was 159,081 in 2006.
Employment Preference Limit
The annual limit is equal to 140,000 plus unused FS preferences in the previous FY. There were 3,949 unused FS preferences in 2005. The 2006 EB limit was 143,949 (140,000 plus 3,949). The REAL ID Act of 2005 recaptured 50,000 unused EB visas, 5,125 of which were used in 2005. In 2006, 33,341 of these visas were used, exceeding the 2006 limit.

Dear friends,
Let us not fight -EB2 Vs EB3. I hope people (EB 2) are honest and do not try to cross the line. This is cheating. It is a Sin. Every one has to answer God .
I sincerely request IV to make efforts to push for Schedule A which will benefit all and not to support only EB2. It is everyone contributing irrespective of EB2 or EB 3 for lobbying for schedule A.

There are several benefits to media coverage.
You create awareness and build alliances.
You give the other party (in this case congress) an opportunity to correct the problem.
You get reporters to do additional investigate work that may help you build a case (This has already happened).
You have an opportunity to correct public misconceptions, such as that all ITIN filers are illegal aliens, and thereby reduce the chance that the public will support such action in the future.
Wikipedia also has good interpretation of rebate and ITIN. It clearly mentions
"Taxpayers who filed their returns jointly are not eligible for payment if any of the persons on the tax return filed with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) instead of a social security number.[4] For example, if a family of five had one parent with an ITIN, no money is payable to any member of the family, including US citizens with valid social security numbers.[7] As a result, many legal resident aliens and overseas military families will not receive any payment. US citizens who will not receive payments include those who have a parent or spouse who is not a citizen and who does not qualify for a social security number (not authorized to work in the United States). [8] US citizens may amend their tax returns to file separately, but in most cases this results in a lower deduction for dependents, thereby canceling any benefit from the stimulus payment. In many cases, it is better to forgo the stimulus payment than to file an amended tax return.[9] At least one million legal residents and tens of thousands of troops were affected by the law, which was designed to keep illegal immigrants from getting stimulus checks. [10]"
Wikipedia understands situation better than some of the lawmakers.
