First congrats to everybody here able to benefit from this great news. For the rest of the road still loooooooong to go. I'm just starting my labor certification process this month and I'm very new to this whole greencard process. Is there any advice I can have to expedite my application before retrogression hits again. Hopefully it will be a little while before CIS brings us to reality of life. Any help to a poor man will be greatly appreciated.

This is in response to vldrao's and delax's calculations...
Are you people 'creating' new quota rules?? what is this 7% with regards to any category? 7% is the per country limit including all categories. EB1, EB2, and EB3 gets 28.6% each, out of the total available 140,000. This means each country will get 2802 visas for each of these three categories. However spillover can be redistributed to lower categories and to oversubscribed countries.

10/20 is fine with me. Another IV member vs116 has agreed to attend it along with me.
I would prefer - Troy, Rochester, Royal Oak , Sterling Heights, Madison Heights, Utica etc. as long as it's agreeable to the majority. I think we should go by majority of participants.
I am in for MI chapter. I live in Troy.

Agreed immigration is benefit. But immigration laws should apply equally. It cannot be the case that people from only few countries are retrogressed by 5 more years than the people from all the other countries, which causes people from few countries to be at disadvantage at work
......
......
Good Luck with using that argument if that is your legal basis.
Fair does not necessarily means legal.
Example:
Two person have approved I-140 and waiting for visa number to be current. One is in the USA and the other one is outside USA. The one in the USA can keep on extending H-1B while waiting to file I-485, whereas other person has to wait to get green card at consular processing. Is that fair? For some, it may or may not be.
Immigration Laws can not be challenged in court on basis of fairness. However, with lobbying, laws can be changed.
Personally, I think the country quota is discriminatory and should be removed for EB based green card. But this can be done only with law change and this requires long and persistent lobbying, time, and monetory effort.
In any fight, it is always prudent to use effort and energy in right direction.
Good Luck.

If I'm not mistaken the bill has the provision for H1-B number increase from 65K to 115K. I'm assuming that this will be effective starting October 2007.
There is no incentive for the congress to act quickly (in August 2006) on this during an election year. They can simply wait out on this until december. Also the below mentioned corporations can wait until October 2007. They do some early planning, unlike a number of tech staffing companies.
So please do not be over-optimistic, only to be disappointed later. In your words, wait and watch!
:D This bill will be passed for sure before August. You and me are not behind this. Microsoft, CISCO and Oralce are the ones indirectly calling the shots. Anti immigrant groups can just talk and shout. Money($$$) will show it in action. Wait and Watch.

But i think when u e-file they ask for FP even though its Advance Parole.
im paper-filing now wiht no FP fee.

Nobody is talking because that suffering period and criteria and reasons all over. Nowonwards you will see the effects of what happened in 2002-2004.EB3-I the slowest in the group is at Oct 2001. So Forget Apr 2001.
o.k..I read some of your old posts (but not thorougly) and I was confused (I guess you have done lot of research) - so can you explain again ?
in yr opinion - does it mean EB3(I) won't go back to april 2001 ?
I guess by "what happened in 2002 - 2004" - you mean lawyers filed most cases in EB3 ..am I right ?
would appreciate yr reply ..Thanks !!

Ombudsman,
I think I have asked this question to you before..
If you want to sound credible with your daily "Reality Bites", first disclose the following:
- which is your country of birth
- what stage is your GC in
- EB1, EB2 or EB3
Also mention the reason why you are so concerned with illegal immigration and other issues that affect the American way of life when it is totally up in the air whether you will be a future stakeholder in this country?
Why would a person who is doubtful to ever be "Green" , be so passionate about being "Red" instead of "Blue" or vice-versa?

How about having a monthy/semi monthly conf call (similar to Rajiv Khanna's call), that will probably help in making every one aware of the structure and heirarchy in IV. I am sure a lot of us want to do some thing...posting 100 times to get noticed can't really be the best way to manage the ideas.
I got a feeling that some members feel that IV run a secret community with-in IV (I am not sure how many watched the movie "The Stepford Wives" ).
I think that core members and volunters knows strategy and action plan well before others. I think there would be hierarchy within that also.
I dont see anything wrong in that.
Here I think what goes on internally.. If you are more active in the threads you would sure get a message from IV moderators about ur willingness to volunteer. IV core seriously does not have the ability to read the psyches of each individaul member and invite them int to the secret soceity(?). Only possible way to know for them is how much active you are for a while. i dont think there are any specific paramters for that , it is a matter IV core getting convinced that u r serious enough. Not a day or two.. How long .. and how serious you are with ur ideas...
About funds .. none of the organizations declare their monetory dealings openly. There is a youtube video by logiclife on this. see it if u have not laready seen it.
Keep up the good work.. Sure you would become the member of secret soceity soon :).
I read sometime back nixtor became IV core member recently..

I think the country based quota has been eliminated for the "merit based" quota. Am I missing something.
The original bill had a 10% per country cap. Don't think that has been removed in the new bill.

I think they misplaced AC-21 application and also they missed NOID step. This is basically two mishaps.
Good luck.
Exactly the point that leads me to believe this:
ARE THEY SENDING EVERYTHING TO THE OLD LAWYER???
If they never updated the lawyer info....(AC21 papers being lost is not unusual at all, it happens commonly, as there is no set form for it, mail room does not know what to do with it and so it gets misplaced). However, even if they did not have AC21 info, they would have sent an RFE or at least NOID. All these could be LOST if they went to OLD attorney.
So Infopass is a good idea. To at least get this info and also to get the actual denial notice which may have to to the old attorney as well (to see on what grounds they denied it so you can file MTR accordingly).
Of course, a good attorney is a must.
All in all, I think, it should be ok at the end of the day (just a painful waiting period full of uncertainty) unless they revoked it based on some misrepresentation.
Good Luck.

Chandu, you made me laugh (in a fun way, not in the making fun of you way). Hiding is done inside the closet, not behind it. Maybe lack of clothes is explainable because one is "behind" the closet :)
On a serious note though, You provided so many ways that money is being raised by running marathons, funding drives etc etc...but come on, where on this website or anywhere else is it mentioned how this money is being spent??
I have absolutely no right to ask that question because i have never contributed money. But when i am told that I dont have access to this thread or that thread because I am not a donor...I do have the right to question if this organization actually represents all immigrants or just the donors?? If the motto of IV becomes "Change for fairness and justice (For Donors Only)" then it would make a lot more sense to me. But as long as IV keeps on harping that they represent the plight of legal immigrants (which I am) then I do have the right to ask the question ..."What exactly has IV done?"
Asking the question is never the problem, it may make people uncomfortable but I want people (like yourself) who are contributing to at least ask IV before ranting on people like me (who dont contribute) to support the cause...Supporting the cause is NOT equal to giving IV money. The republicans already tried something similar ..."If you are anti-war, you dont support the troops"..That was fallacious and so are all the personal attacks on the "freeloaders" (like myself ofcourse).
you got the skills to say right things with right words!!

Thanks piyu7444.
Yes there is and it is called visa portability. :)
Ok, Here's the law says about so called "transfer"
D. AC21 105 -- Visa portability
The AC21 105 provides that a nonimmigrant who was previously issued an H-lB visa or provided H-1B nonimmigrant status may begin working for a new H-lB employer as soon as that new employer files a "nonfrivolous" H-lB petition on the nonimmigrant's behalf, if:
(a) the nonimmigrant was lawfully admitted to the United States;
(b) the nonfrivolous petition for new employment was filed before the end of their period of authorized stay; and
(c) the nonimmigrant has not been employed without authorization since his lawful admission to the United States, and before the filing of the nonfrivolous petition.
The status of a dependent of a principal nonimmigrant that is working pursuant to portability benefits is derivative of and linked to the status of the principal nonimmigrant. Therefore, dependents will remain in H-4 status if the principal nonimmigrant is lawfully working pursuant to portability benefits.
Further it says,
The Service expects, therefore, to propose a rule that would afford H-lB beneficiaries, who are no longer working for the initial H-lB employer, some reasonable period of time such as 60 days after leaving the initial H-lB employer to begin working for a new H-lB petitioning employer under the portability provisions. It is important to note that such a proposed rule would not, of course, take effect until it has been published as a final rule, after notice and comment, and any revisions. This prospective statement of policy is provided solely for informational purposes to Service personnel and shall not be utilized as a standard of adjudication in cases involving portability issues, unless and until promulgation of a final rule implementing AC21 105 with such an interpretation. Service personnel will be notified of any changes in the processing of AC21 benefits that may occur upon the effective date of a final rule.
There are few other memo's on this I will try to post the links for reference
Good information but 'transfer' is a widely used word which is technically incorrect. "Transfer" never happens, its always a NEW PETITION when one switches employer or applies (through an employer) for authorization to work for new or 2nd employer. Probably 95% immigrant community including lawyers use the term 'transfer' but it is indeed incorrect.
Thanks to all who shared knowledge and pitched in.

I think it is important to maintain diversity in the overall immigration. However the immigration law has never resulted in achieving diversity. In the period 1900-1910, immigrants came from Italy (22%), Austria (20%) and Russia (18%). In the 1950-1960 period Germany provided 20% of immigrants. In the 1991-2000 period Mexico provided almost 22% of immigrants. In the FY 2005, Mexico provided around 161,000 immigrants (around 17%) of immigrants. It is easy to fix a quota for those immigration categories where visa numbers are limited such as for employment. However spouses and minor children of naturalized citizens have no waiting period. So it will be very hard to control the immigration percentages based on country of origin unless there is a quota for US citizen spouses, and children of US citizens wantin to immigrate!
The problem here is that we don't have a country quota for foreign students and H1Bs. Thus when these people try to become permanent residents then the quota's are applied and that is the core problem. My take is that country quota should not be applied for employment based immigration. Employers should not be forced in to an affirmative action plan but rather hire the right person for the job.
