Agreed. Even in the Texas hospital that handled the first patient very poorly, leaving him in the waiting room for hours and sending him home, none of his relatives or other waiting room patients appeared to have contracted the disease.
Even in the case of the nurse that decided to fly over the week-end despite being sick, nobody else contracted the disease. Enough with the paranoia.

Thank you for the recommendation.
Oliver Family Tree came to my house on Saturday and did a great job at a reasonable price.

I understand that I misused the term 'backlog' in this case, although not completely as out of the 140,000 green cards allocated to employment based, a significant number remains unused at the end of the fiscal year. But you are right, the main cause of the wait is the delta between the number of applicants and the number of green cards available.
bodhipooh, USCIS published the following document recently (page 3): http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/New%20Structure/3rd%20Level%20(Left%20Nav%20Children)/Green%20Card%20-%203rd%20Level/Pending%20Form%20I485%20Reports.pdf The number of applicants from 2002 still waiting for a green card is not negligeable. As for the family based green card, I meant a green card holder sponsoring a foreigner, not a US citizen sponsoring a foreigner. The wait for this category is more than 5 years.

I already qualified for the visa as I have my EAD and my case has been pre-adjudicated. I have been in the AOS phase for more than 2 years and will probably be for an additional 3 years. I am waiting for my priority date to become current. There are not enough visas and therefore there is a backlog. That is the only thing I said in my initial post that you qualified of FUD. Using the processing timelines on the USCIS website as an indication of how long it takes to get a green card is wrong unless you are in the EB-1 or EB-2 ROW and you don't take in consideration all the audit occuring lately. Regarding the family based green card, they are not in a better situation as I believe the wait is also 5 to 6 years because of a lack of visa allocation. Please correct me if I am wrong. The goal of my initial post was just to say that it is not easy to get a visa to work in the US, even H1-B. The reason why the quota of H1B has not been reached yet this year is because it is more difficult for a company to justify the need of hiring a foreign worker when unemployment rate is more than 10%. That is understandable. If any part of this post is erroneous or FUD', please let me know...

I think you have no idea what you are talking about... this is the processing time once your priority date becomes current... to know the priority date they are currently working on you need to check the Visa Bulletin. Here is the latest one (October 2009): http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4575.html For you rinformation, I am EB3 ROW (employment based). So really, FUD slinger???

The problem is that it would probably take 7 years for her husband to get his green card. There is a humongous backlog and USCIS is currently working on applications filed in 2002.
I personally have been leaving in Jersey City for 9 years, own a house in Jersey City, have a son that is American. I applied for a green card 4 years ago and will probably get it in 3 years. In the meantime, if I lose my job and don?t find another one within a month (and it would have to be a very similar job, otherwise I would have to start the process again), I would have to pack and leave the country? There is indeed ways to work legally but it is not that easy?
