i was trying to understand how many visas are available for recapture.
here is what i found
Legal Permanent Resident Flow by Major Category of Admission: Fiscal Years 2007 to 2009
source - dept of homeland security.
http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/statistics/publications/lpr_fr_2009.pdf
2009 2008 2007
Category of admission Number Percent Number Percent Number Percent
Employment-based preferences . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 144,034 12.7 166,511 15.0 162,176 15.4
Priority workers . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 40,924 3.6 36,678 3.3 26,697 2.5
Professionals with advanced degrees . . . . . . . . . . . 45,552 4.0 70,046 6.3 44,162 4.2
Skilled workers, professionals, unskilled workers . . . . 40,398 3.6 48,903 4.4 85,030 8.1
Special immigrants . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 13,472 1.2 9,524 0.9 5,481 0.5
Investors . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,688 0.3 1,360 0.1 806 0.1
for years 2009 2008 2007 -> 144,034 166,511 162,176 GC has been issued for EB categories.
from this report it seems like all the visa numbers are being used already atleast for years 2007-2009
i am assuming there were some visas lost before 2007. does anyone has any links justifying that.

Hello Friends :
I recd. an email from my attorney this evening stating that "We have mailed you the FOIA request for your and your spouse's signature."
This doesnt make any sense to me, as to what does FOIA mean to start with. So I emailed them back asking, what does it mean and is it something to do like RFE towards my AOS papers filed on 2nd July,2007 (no checks cashed yet, no info in system yet).
My Attorney replied back stating that - "We have filed for full copies of your petitions to be sent to us. The FOIA will allow us to obtain a copy to check the integrity of the filing for our records. Looks like, it will be several years before these I-485 petitions are actually reviewed by the Service unless we see a change in the law. ."
What does this all mean? I am so confused....
Pls. advise me. Thanks a lot

Unless you know the outcome, you never know.
Just be candid and talk to your employer. Sometimes they don't even know this as diff ppl in HR handle and interpret cases differently. I would talk to my employer.

I'm possibly in the same situation - if the company I work for gets bought and the company name changes does this complicate the process? I would hold the same job, title and everything else? This is a real possibility we already made 1/3 of the workforce redundant last week..
Or is it that the name change or the going away of the oirginal sponsor name means a re-start to the PERM stage? This is bad timing for me as I'm about to enter my 6th year of H1B - and as I understand it I cannot start a new PERM in the last year of H1B..?
What should I do - hold my breath or can I do something in the 3 months I have left before my 6th year starts??

Hi,
What happened to your case. I'm in the same boat and it was denied.

Every time I call USCIS to inquire if my I-140 is filled under EB2 or EB3. They ask me to ask my lawyer or employer to call. They won't tell me. I do have a copy of I-140 that states it is Eb2 (Advance degree and all) but I am concerned about what is there in USCIS system.
I cannot ask my previous enployer to call as I have left the company using AC21.
Please advise what is the solution?
