I hope they have some kind of link with DOL. Because my approved labor case status changed from Certified to Data Review and back to Certified.
Anybody knows what they will do about the whole firm being audited.
Are they talking to DOL?

One thing I wish to add is that we must develop a good way of sending out many letters at will/as per the strategy of IV core to the lawmakers at critical times. We are 23K strong. Surely we can get atleast as many letters sent in to lawmakers at critical times. If you can't send a written petition to a lawmaker then I doubt it makes any sense to even think you or anyone can alter your fate, in that case time spent on sites like this is for what reason?
Professional organizations do letter campaigns all the time and get a good response. If everyone moves on these issues it does create a splash and can bring visibility and attention.
All ideas should be collected here in this thread.

Alterego:
Thanks for your feedback, we are mindful of this issue.
Studies regarding what is the most effective way to communicate with lawmakers have shown that writing mail is not one of the best way. Face to face meeting is always the best option. If not in DC, we can always do that in our local districts.

Oh, one more..if you are trying to print the letters and send in regular mail. The existing IV template is not printing name and address on the letter. Please include your real name and address as well.

i thought a simple majority i.e. >50 would make the bill pass through senate. is that not true?
Nope. Need 60 votes to do anything in Senate and that is why even though the Dems have a so called majority then cant get anything done.

SmSm,
Good to know you are pursuing a part time MBA. For people stuck inthe GC dilemma, further education is really a good oiption.
For folks around Philadelphia, if you are looking for a good part time programs, Wharton Business school is offering evening programs (Certificate) for Working Professionals. For me it was really a good experience doing the program.

The real reason people are treated badly at Indian Consulate is because there are Indians working there!!! Every where you go, the first thing an India sees is the skin color. I went to Atlanta to a sweet shop run by some Indians, there my 4 year old saw the water dispenser and asked for water, they had some use and throw paper cups and a steel cup tied to the water cooler (just like in India). I took the paper cup, suddenly the guy came running down and started cursing that I am wasting the paper cup? I asked who the paper cups are for. The answer comes as �others�. This is not a one off incident, be it Air India, Temple, Restaurants, it�s the same thing. Indians have such an inferiority complex and they are just freaking jealous of every other country man.
On the other hand, Indians have 0 people skills and have no clue how to act on a public place or do they have any concern for others. I took my son for Kumon yesterday. As in any Kumon, majority is Indians, the hot topics yesterday was politics, dinner and how work sucks. They were discussing this so loud inside the establishment. Kids were trying to work and there they were arguing, laughing, it�s just pathetic.
So, what I am trying to say is, if you are trying to take this fight with Indian Consulate, is it really a one off thing�..

Is there anyway we can work on reporting fraud desi consulting companies to the USCIS so the fraud EB applications can be cleaned up from the system? That may help in clearing up the backlog. Believe it or not, many fraud desi firms have sponsored people in EB-2 successfully. I have worked with many such IT 'professionals' who can't speak a word of English and hardly have any idea what's going around them. I am serious here, this should be considered and evaluated. No offence meant to anyone but those who have had a wonderful educational background and don't work for desi 'firms' ought not to worry since this doesn't target them at all. I am just tired of fellow country men/women who have diminished our country's image, especially in the IT industry and am trying to think of solutions in addition to what we already have on IV's agenda.

never worked for "employer x" after H1 transfer, perhaps you are out of status. What is your lawyer saying? You never transferred H1 back to emplyer#2?
I have maintained valid status with my current employer (Employer #2). Employer #2 sponsored H1B was valid until 2008, then I used EAD. I have always maintained valid status. My only concern is I never worked for 'Employer X'.
Would you still see this as an issue...?
Thanks for the response.

Reallocation of Immigrant Visa Numbers
Immigrant visa quotas would be substantially realigned under S. 1348. Our current law provides for a baseline annual quota of 140,000 immigrant visas for foreign nationals immigrating on the basis of employment. In the past several years, a backlog has developed in several employment-based immigrant categories, with multiyear waits for some prospective immigrant workers. The Senate bill would, in the first five years after enactment, increase the quota for merit-based and employment-based cases, in part to address existing backlogs. An estimated 247,000 numbers would be available for work-related immigration. Beginning in the sixth fiscal year after enactment, however, the quota would drop to 140,000 numbers per year. This level would remain in place for at least two years, until approximately the eighth year after enactment, when the quota would rise to a baseline of 380,000 per year, with additional numbers made available for previously undocumented immigrants who become eligible to apply for permanent residence.
Is the interpretation of current Bill (without amendment) is correct for the work related immigration?
This looks like good news. This says work related immigration would get 247000 instead of 90000. Who is misinterpreting the bill?

I have many positive experiences with Fragomen.
My RIR case was first filed in 2001 by a different lawyer and he screwed it up. It got rejected by DOL and bumped back to non-RIR. When the BEC was about to take the case for processing, my company hired Fragomen for the processing. Fragomen reviewed my case, worked with me, prepared and filed a new Labor petition in 24 hours as I was reaching my 6th year limit.
When PERM was introduced, they worked with me to convert my traditional labor filing to PERM.
During the July VISA bulletin fiasco, they kept communicating well and worked overtime (I used to get emails around midnight sometimes) and filed my case. They even followed up and made sure that I was going to attend my finger printing appt when they got the courtesy copy.
They do well with email replies. I have never called them and hence, not sure about responding to calls. But I never had a requirement to call them as they normally reply to emails within 1 working day.
Since Fragomen is so big, they might have a small percentage of attorneys / para legals who are not customer focussed. I have dealt with 3 different attorneys / para legals withing Fragomen, and I have high regards for them.
My emails just go to a black box who no one opens....

There is a site called http://www.hvisasurvey.org which conducts surveys about the lives of poeple on different H Visas. They were lobbying for H4 work authorization and protection under VAWA for non-immigrant woman.
I have a suggestion. Why not ImmigrationVoice Join with HVisaSurvey and Lobby for more rights for H4 Visa Holders.
At least the H4 should be allowed to work if the labor certification is pending or the I-140 is approved for the H1 visa holder. Waiting for I-485 to become current is a long wait. Why nobody care about H4s. L2's got work permit because the big multinational companies who used a lot of L1 visas lobbied for it.

Anything asking exemption from cap means asking unlimited numbers that should have real luck to pass in the Senate. If lobbying persons come with reasonable numbers then that should have some chance to pass. But it needs to be seen for the reaction of house.
would create a quota exemption for certain highly skilled immigrants who have at least three years of U.S. work experience.
That pretty much covers almost all of us in IV

If you are from India or from a country which fought for its freedom, you would not ask this question.
When M.K.Gandhi held his first rally against the British rulers(nothing personal here Franklin and Mark :) ), it did not result in immediate freedom, but was it worthless ?
No offense taken, we Brits suck

Berry Appleman really sucks. Dont ever go there.
I gave all my signed I485/G28/I325/I765/I131/693/Photos forms by June 8th. They filed mine on June 27th. They reviewed it for 17 days.
They never attend email or calls. Hope mine gets accepted.
I don't think Berry Appleman is a good firm, they took 30 days for all people to prepare simple docs for I 485 which takes 2 hours for us to prepare and they never respond to calls and email.
