If bill is passed Senate in 2007 it will pass current form for H1b. There is possiblity for failing of the bill is 75% now. Also even if Cantwell amendment is passed that will give relief only to high tech companies not for Hospitals or Health care. There is no other amendment other than Cantwell for H1b or GC relief in Senate
Only unknown is how House will handle. Now house is confident that Senate will not pass CIR(Infact house members think they can escape from this hot button issue)
But I am almost certain that Most persons who file I485 within next 6 months will get GC within 1 to 5 years whether CIR is passed or not.
right. i think it's within our reach to reduce that wait time from 1-5 years to 1-2 years at most.

USCIS is clearly requesting for two passport size photos with AP application.
It is surprising that most people don't even read basic instructions with the USCIS forms, and go on asking questions and sometimes giving (wrong) suggestions in IV. Yeah, it takes a few minutes to look through the instructions but searching/writing/replying/ doubting/making mistakes/giving red dots/ etc in IV takes more time, I think. :)
I e-file my AP and I got receipt notice immediately after completion of e-file. And I got the direction on the PDF listed bellow. USCIS clearly mentioned DO NOT send Copy of ID, Photos unless they requested. That�s why I didn't send any documents to USCIS.
6) DO NOT mail photos or copies of identification unless requested to do so by USCIS.[/COLOR]

I dont think this bill has or will have any favorable provisions for us unless a miracle occurs.
I think the tech companies have cut a deal with the Senators through which they will have access to 115,000 H1Bs and more moving forward inlieu of no increase in EB green cards.
Well..if thats the case they seem to have gotten a bad deal cause even togh the H1B visas will increase - there is still the $5000 inc in fee with other restrictions on consulting, removal of dual intent plus the Sanders amendment that deals with layoffs - these conditions nullify whatever the inc in numbers is

The basic idea behind this approach is to channel all the negative energy into something positive.
Here is what me and my wife are doing. When the retrogression first hit us in 2005 January we were both devastated even more so because one my friend and his wife, with same the same priority date as ours and similar EB3 RIR got the Green Card on 24 Dec 2004. We would not have been so frustrated if they had the priority date even a month or so before us. But some are just lucky I guess. Coming back to what we are doing. My wife started her masters and finished in May this year. She could have finished in December but we were really banking on the CIR in May so she took more courses and finished it faster. Well that did not happen so whats next. So now I will be starting school again for second Masters this time MBA from one of the top10 B schools in January 2007. Ideally I wanted to do Full Time because its shorter duration as compared to part time but GC God (I wish there was one like that so that I can do the "Nariyal Pooja" or "Mundan" or "Abhishek") had otherr wishes so I have now switched from full time to part time. Lets see if my part time MBA of 4 years wins the race or Green Card wins the racce against time.
Moral of the story. Channelize your energy into something positive and get masters or second for that matter, or learn a new language, enroll in classes to learn languages that run for 6 months at community classees by the time you get your GC you will know atleast a dozen languages.
Lage Raho GC Bhai....
I know these are good ways to keep our mind off the gc, but for most of us who have spent 9 -10 years waiting and have family responsibilities, the steam of further studies has ran out especially if you have to pay for it yourself.

I would not agree with your interpretation. You are insinuating that a majority of the EB based green cards sponsored by employers are similar to family sponsored green card and also that people are favoured for their nationality.....how did you arrive at this conclusion?
Possibly your exposure may be limited to mom and pop shops and that may be the basis of your analysis....!!
Working in a "regular" company and having the authority to hire people in my department, "nationality" thoughts have never crossed my mind....!!!
Everybody is entitled to their opinion. It's pretty much an open secret that staff augmentation firms (which take up a pretty good amount of h-1 and GC) are involved in nepotism and filing for their own country people.

Yep, could be..
I know that's what he said but if you read that statement again, nowhere he talks about Highly skilled legal immigration. I think he is talking about the family based immigration, which again caters mostly to the Vote bank. From everything I have read, Obama seems to be anti-outsourcing and neutral (or maybe negative) towards highly skilled legal immigration

Hi all,
First I thank IV core team for making the D.C rally a big success.
Here are few of my thouts.
1)To get more chinese and other foreign nationals involved in our team we better to put active chinese and other nationals in IV core team (Its just my idea and if you think its not a good one please ignore it.)
2) Yes we better do a second rally but at thesame time we better to educate them first by giving adevrtisements and things like that.

Your concern is 100% justified, but BEC has vowed to clear all backlog by Sep '07.
When the dates move forward in Oct '07, you will have advantage with your PD.
Please read some thoughts at:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10774
My best advice would be "be prepared" and good luck :)
Thanks for your feedback. But processing a '05 labor cert before a '03 labor cert is injustice at the most ugliest form. No where, I mean no where in the world are people going to accept someone who came later in the queue to be allowed to have service before people who have been waiting for years together in the queue. Why would anyone do that and how is that justified? It is a mental worry and stress for the affected folks right now because we are still waiting with uncertainty. Why should we? Why????
So whatever happens in the future isn't the concern. There are no guarantees offered as you know with these processes. If it happens it happens and we will take it at that time.
The point is to bring to the attention of the proper authorities this injustice in the system and to make sure that we are guaranteed some form of relief/concessions. As you know the filing fees are going to increase and again there are no other guarantees.

My current employer told me 2 days ago that he will lay me off. It hit me out of nowhere cause there were no signs pr signals. I dont know how much time he will give me to find a new job. So, here are my questions?
How much time do I have legally to find a new job and to get the visa transferred?
Which forms has the new company to file and how much gonna be the fees?
Is premium processing possible?
Can I start working for a non-for-profit organization?
Does anybody know of website for H1B accounting jobs?
Your help is much appreciated:) .

Well Said ! I guess lot of us are looking for the slightest possiblity of the applicaiton going through instead of getting rejected..
Anyways, Any guesses on what the PD will be in Oct VB? My guess is they'll not progress much and will try to stick to the June Bulletine timeframe..
What a bunch of morins we are. We are calling USCIS to find out if they are going to accept our applications that were sent on Jul 2nd 7 55 am and Jul 2nd 9 01 am will be accepted. Lord have some mercy on us and give us some brains to read the USCIS update. Damn it. The morons who answer the phone lines do not know jack about W T F is going on. Thats why you were being put on hold. Stop calling USCIS crazily.

Bunnyboy is a member of IV's forum and he had a magic sequence number to call USCIS, that will hit the USCIS IO not the CS dept.
Fdbl another name of fragomen. I wanted to say that fragomen lawers are well respected within USCIS. The IO was very polite after hearing my case was filed though fragomen.
Till now i or my wife does not have any RFE throughout our L1/L2 to GC. Now GC is in hand.
I know they are little slow, but you have to followup to make it fast. One thing is they donot take shortcut in process. Thats the reason many are frustrated. Desi lawers and companies can go to any extent and we should not compare that with a professional law firm.
I am wondering your logic for using "desi lawyers". They graduated through the same system as any other "book smart" attorney in the "smart" fragomen system. I think it is always a negative to go through a large law firm. An association with a large firm must not be confused with efficiency. Who knows...might be freebies which they provide to HR grp of the large firms keeps them in the picture.......................

Not sure I follow you. How are we getting 50K spill over visas?
I already mentioned in my previous posts (multiple posts with same matter for people like you and me, see it and understand it well) how we are getting more than 50k visas just for EB2 India. I am giving it here again the visa allotments for 2006 and 2007 years when theres vertical fallouts. Now its changed to horizontal fall outs.
Due to this as many of us think its not the EB3 India which is losing, but its EB3 ROW.
Class --------------------------------------> 2006 | 2007
Total Employment-based Approvals ----------> 159,081 | 162,176
EB1 ---------------------------------------> 36,960 | 26,697
EB2 ---------------------------------------> 21,911 | 44,162
EB3 ---------------------------------------> 89,922 | 85,030
Fourth:-------------------------------------> 9,539 | 5,481
Fifth (investors) ----------------------------> 749 | 806
See the Total Employment Based Visa approvals for 2006 and 2007 159,081 and 162,176. But there are only 140,000 visas in EB category. The rest of the visas came from Family Based visas which are not used for the previous fiscal year. The share for each category: Each EB1, EB2 and EB3 should get 1/3 of 140,000 = 46,666. But due to the less demand in EB1 and EB2 ROW all the visas falling to EB3 ROW due to the Vertical falling.
EB1 ROW --> EB2 ROW --> EB3 ROW.
EB1 INDIA --> EB2 INDIA --> EB3 INDIA.
As theres not much demand for EB1 ROW and EB2 ROW, all the unused visas are going to fall to EB3 ROW. So from this time its going to be like Horizotal fall out like below.
EB1 ROW/EB1 INDIA --> EB2 ROW/ EB2India/ EB2China-->EB3ROW/EB3 INDIA.
So this time to fall any VISAS into EB3 ROW they have to pass through EB2 India/EB2 China. So this makes EB3 ROW dates would retrogress due to the decrease in visa numbers availabilty.
As I said each category would have 46,666. So EB1 and EB2 together will have around 93,332 visas. But in EB1+EB2 in 2006 about 50,000 visas approved and in 2007 about 70,000 visas approved. So for 2008 also asume the demand for EB1 and EB2 is 70,000. But the availability of VISAS are 93,332 as said above + unused family visas which come around 19,000+.
So for this 2008 fiscal year for EB2 India and China the total visa numbers availlable are
(93,332 +19,000) - 70,000 = 42,332.
So around 42 thousand + 9,800 (regular 7% of 140k) = around 52k Visas Just for India , because EB2 China was already Jan 2006 a year back. And I dont think it would take any considerable share in this 50k other than its regular 9,800 visas.
Get me back if you have any doubts.

I have helped in some other initiatives, but not donated money primarily because I was disgusted with some folks calling non-donors as free loaders. Anyway, since it is needed for our cause and our voice at this moment, I have donated $50. First time ever! Do keep up the good work that you guys always excelled at!

All,
Dont take it too seriously .... and disturb ur sleeps and all .... See, if the receipt has to come from somewhere else, then its a different story ..... USCIS is the one who has to generate the receipts and we have to send the receipt back to USCIS ....
If USCIS themselves are delaying the recipts for whatever reasons, its their problem to handle .....We can show many other proofs as initial evidences ....Its no big deal for them to verify this ...
Its not that we r missing an important report such as medicals which USCIS can get only from the applicant .......
More than anything, I just believe in God ....
Our applications WOULD NOT BE REJECTED ... JUST RELAX ...........
