Being bitter does not get us anywhere..
There are only so many leaders who are willing to galvanize people. Most people are content to be followers or be in the sidelines..
Do not expect everyone to be in leadership roles.. As you might know from any meetings, lots of people RSVP but don't show up.. It is unfortunate but that is the truth in pretty much any type of meetings..
The Houston chapter is getting more action. Why don't we collaborate and talk together.. Remember, we don't need 100s of leaders.. We need 10 - 20 who can get the rest of the people moving..
Lets not lose hope and surely, lets not get bitter and angry. We all make sacrifices.. There is no way to compare one versus the other.. and comparing does not get us anywhere..
Lets not look for what other people can do for us.. lets look what we (be it 10 or 100 of us) can do for everyone else..
Most people in the forum will support and help us.. A few people will just read and be cynical.. some will be free riders.. we cannot change these..
What we can do is make a decision to drive change.. and work towards it..
Change will happen.. We just have to persist and believe..

This is the newslink what we discussed earlier on IEEE-USA's view on CIR:
http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/21...oreign-workers
This says "Combined with the H-1B visa increases, the Senate bill also includes "substantial increases" in legal permanent immigrant admissions that could have a major impact on the US IT workforce and engineering enterprise, according to IEEE-USA."
IEEE-USA must know the current increase of EB visas in CIR was mainly warranted due to the current backlogs in labor and due to retrogression.
IEEE-USA when issuing statement like this, should understand that making people wait 5-8 years for adjudication is simply unfair.
Let IEEE-USA vouch to reform H-1B later and work to clear the backlogs and retrogression first.

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....!!!
I agree; the law definitively leaves no room for error. If all the visas are held back until fourth quarter then there is a significant chance that visas will go unused.
At a high level; country quotas in EB do not make a whole lot of sense. I have tried to figure out why they are there; how companies and candidates use EB greencards. Conclusion, I came up with is that in a lot of ways EB is a way to circumvent family base immigration. Many peoples parents have greencards, brothers, sisters, friends, etc; and they realize that it takes too long to get greencard through family base and the fastest way is to come through h-1b and go through EB route. Also; companies; company owners will favor their own people in filing h-1b's and greencards and then you have a situation where certain people are favored due to their nationality or connection. I firmly believe that uscis and the regulatory authorities understand this and hence the reason why there is country quotas.

Its a terrible tragedy when lives are lost. My heart goes out to the innocent victims and their family and friends.
Air France is conveniently blaming it on bad weather but I don't buy it...planes fly just fine in bad weather...at least well maintained planes. While their incompetency at customer service clearly shows, they are probably sub standard in maintenance and safety issues as well. Too bad innocent lives have to pay a price to bring that out.
Another reason not to fly Air France.

H1-b 5.5 years, I-140 approved 1.5 yrs, I-485 pending almost 2 yrs, priority date just got current (JUL2004). Got laid off and will have January check as last pay check. Spouse is on H1-B, whose job is relatively secure for the short term, whose I-140 approved as well but didn't submit I-485 (PD is about beginning of 2007).
1) EAD/AP expire at the end of March. Should I renew EAD/AP now? The company will not do it, if I apply it on my own will CIS notice this and send me an RFE? If they do send me RFE asking for employment verification letter can I fax back a letter (I believe my company still counts me as an employee now) without letting them know I got laidoff?
2) Regarding H4 application: what's the best way to do it, apply on my own or use an attorney? Do I have enough time to do it in one month on my own?
3) If I find a new job quickly, given that I'm in my 6th year of H1-B, will the new employer be able to transfer my H1-B?
4) If my 485's approved but I don't get the card mailed to me at the time I start my new job (if any) is there a problem?
Thanks for your help and Happy New Year to everybody,

I am with you.
To everyone who thinks rallies dont make a difference, as described here : http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13583
This is not an attack post. Or a criticizing post. This is purely educational and please keep this thread clean.
I know there are many out there who are snickering in their cubicles looking at the pictures of the rally and thinking "Look at these idiots, they think Congress will pass SKIL bill because they walked 1.2 miles with some placards and banners".
Such thinking is reasonable. But only if you dont know how things work.
Here is why rally of Sept 18th will be consequential:
1. When you do a rally, people notice. People recognize organization and measure its strength. It stays in their heads for a long time and they keep Immigration Voice as one of the organizations they can ask for support when they push for their own cause. In Congress, things work based on compromise, consensus and consultation. People dont just sponsor legislations they believe in. They run it thru their caucus and leadership and do a vote count. To find out how many votes would they get if they came up with this new idea. Whether it will get 218 votes in House. Whether they will get 51 votes in senate. If its filibuster proof and get 61 votes in Senate. Whether it has committee support. Whether leadership offices are in agreement to put it in schedule. All this happens in background and there are people who are hired in committees just to do vote counts on proposed ideas. IF it turns out they dont find enough support, they drop it. If they think they can pull it off, they approach leadership (Speaker in House, Maj leader in Senate) to put it in queue.
2. Let us say that Congressman X wants to sponser SKIL bill because of his constituency or a senator (like Feinstein) wants to sponsor AgJobs because food growers are having food rotten in absence of agricultural workers, a compelling cause. Now, when they want to pass legislation, they have to look for support and votes as described in item 1. When they fall short, they find ways to sweeten the pot. IF they see that a powerful organization will throw in their support and lobbying in favor of their bill if they attach a few of that organization's provisions, then they approach them. Immigration Voice did 138 lawmakers meetings (in House and Senate). They did the rally. They would consider IV as a organization that can help them PUSH for their legislation. Now we have a place at the negotiating table. If they attach our provisions (like recapture, or GC quota increase), then we can promise to do something for them. Like support the entire bill they are pushing for. They know that we can do rallies and we can do hundreds of lawmaker meetings. If Diane Feinstein (just an example) thinks that by adding skilled employment based reform provisions she can get IV's support and swing a few votes to help her pass her favorite AgJobs bill, then we have opportunity where the Senator would ask us what we want rather than us going and asking them to do things for us. One of IV members said that on the day of the rally, suddenly the office of her senator called her and scheduled and appointment to meet the same day at 4:00 PM. She had been trying to get the appointment but after they rally and Roll call newspaper ad (http://immigrationvoice.org/media/forums/iv/rollcal3a.pdf), they called her to listen to her. I heard about this from her just as the rally was over.
3. CIR has recently failed. From some meetings, I got the feeling that CIR's failure has left a bad taste in mouth and many people in Congress as well as administration are very upset about it still. Now that we have done this rally, done lawmaker meetings, put a rollcall ad, did the media blitz, press conference, congressional reception (where 4 congressmen attended and spoke in IV's support), they know that it would be a good idea to keep IV on their side and put some of their things in a bill. Next time they write a bill (behind closed doors very often), they will consult us and ask us if they can do something for IV to win IV's full support. That's because by getting IV's support on their side for whatever they are doing, they can be assured that we wont oppose it but instead support it. With phone calls, Rallies, paid ads, lawmaker meetings etc. If they are really investing in getting a bill passed, they would include our provisions just to increase the odds.
Strength respects strength. If we have the strength to do things and make a difference (rallies, meetings, receptions, press conferences, paid ads), then that strength begets more strenght because other powers want us to join hands with them so that they can do their favorite things (AgJobs, DREAM etc).

We should focus on spreading awareness about IV. I can't believe I was totally unaware of IV's existence until a month back. I haven't done much but felt strongly about what IV's doing. Me and my wife attended the rally and even contributed for the first time ever. We should brainstorm on how we can get more people on board and on how to transform members into contributors.

needhelp...maybe instead of country of chargeability we should ask for grouping by country of birth; this is an actual field required in the I-485 form.
You are right about priority date. It is not a field available in the 485 form. in the 485 form we reference the approved I-140, which is the only place where your see the "Priority Date" field.

Typically, H-1B transfer means new H-1B petition for the beneficiary who is/was in H-1B status and is not subject to H-1 cap.

I hope you understand that Bigtime's post was thickly laced with sarcasm.
I admire your courage to stand up and apologise. I wish you all the best, and I hope they lift the ban. You are the type of people we need. Be positive, there is a line for green cards and I didn't know people can jump the line. I need to concurrently file so I can get an EAD. I've been sitting at home for several years as a dependent. And after that I will stand in line with the rest for a green card. All the best and I hope to see you again. Pls don't make this your last posting

Congratulations to everyone whose dates have become current. To all gurus. I wanted to know as to how does it work when it comes to procesing I - 485, what dates are important is it the filing date, or the Priority date? If two people file at same time with different priority dates who gets priority, one with earlier priority date or one with earlier reciept notice date or will the cases be treated at same level.
Reciept date will not matter, as you can file on any day in the month of July. Earlier priority date will establish the preference. When dates retrogress, the PDs (priority dates) are again important. The date that is current will get the application processed first. Right now everybody can file, everybody will get EAD, AP but the actual application will be processed according the queue that is established with PD. I am not sure though. Check with lawyer.
