    Because he is lying when he said the wait time is only 8-10 years. It is actually more than 100 years. But, no immigration attorney will ever say that truth to the H1B visa holders…

    I see. So, will the "ebb and flow", bring down my wait time from 800 years to 300 years?

    Current priority date for EB-3 India is 2006. For it to clear all the 2007 priority date applications, it will take another 14 years [1]. Since my priority date is today, 12/19/201…

    80% of the H1B holders today are from India. And they cannot reach that step; because the wait time to reach there (485-EAD) is 70+ years.
