This is an interesting development. It will create a clear division among supporters of CIR. It is so enticing to say,"who cares about CIR if we have SKIL" from our perspective. Hopefully this is a sincere effort not just some political posturing.
We will find out.

Skilled Bill
In a move that high-tech groups predict could break the impasse over immigration legislation, Arizona’s John Shadegg, a member of the House leadership, says he’ll introduce legislation to increase visas and citizenship opportunities for skilled workers.
The bill mirrors a Senate Republican-sponsored bill and would more than double the number of temporary visas and permanent green cards available to skilled workers each year. The bill also would make it easier for U.S.-educated foreign nationals to stay here after graduation and work in their field of study.
The measure is the first time Republican conservatives in the House have endorsed any immigration bill that didn’t deal solely with border enforcement. A Shadegg spokesman said some House members also favor passing a measure that makes more visas available to agriculture workers. He predicted that action could begin on both measures after Congress comes back from its summer recess — and after a long string of House immigration hearings has run its course.
That still leaves out a guest-worker program and some plan for dealing with illegal immigrants already here, but would inch the House closer to a Senate immigration-overhaul bill.
Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R., Wis.) has insisted he won’t permit any immigration bill to pass until border enforcement is tightened. If a measure that eases visa backlogs for highly skilled workers has to go through his committee, “that could be a problem,” says a Shadegg spokesman.
But high-tech groups say the bill shines attention on their need for skilled workers, and on what they call the dangers to U.S. competitiveness if more visas aren’t made available. “It lets us talk about our issue,” says the National Association of Manufacturers’s Sandra Boyd. –June Kronholz

For me it's simple. My test case is HR5882. I have seen that Democrats fully supported the bill while Republicans are trying to stall it.
I can predict that Democrat will help us. It was during the time of Clinton when immigration into the US was easy. Visa Bulletin was almost always current. AC21 was passed during the time of Clinton, a democrat.
So, tell me. What Republican bill was passed that supports legal immigrants?

Dear Bigheart Sanju
I would love to get a free lunch but facts are facts. I will not argue with you or about you but when and if you can refute ANY of the following statements, do write back and we can have a healthy discussion on this forum:
1. Why does Walmart/Gas station charge me money? I pay for a service or product I want which they give and have irrefutable proof that they gave. IV has no such proof of anything it has done for anybody individually or as a group on this forum.
2. You buy bandwidth and free lunch by donating?? NO. Do you see that big ad for a lawyer splashed on every page? That is what pays for the bandwidth. Many "non-donors" answering questions for each other in this forum or just by the act of engaging in fruitless discussions with you is what is paying for the bandwidth.
3. You seem to be under the impression that IV got the visa-bulletin reversed??? Moses, wake up and smell the roses. The massive class-action lawsuit being pursued by AILA, the Silicon Valley lobby pressuring Zoe Lofgren, almost all immigration lawyers asking people to join the class action .. what about all of that? Do think your 25 bucks on the flower campaign is what got the bulletin reversed?
SERIOUSLY??
And there were some comments about "if you dont want to contribute, get the heck out of here".... Can you explain to me how this is any different from "If you dont agree with me, dont talk to me?"
Why is dissent from the popular ideology of "IV is our saviour" treated with such disdain?
I just said that "IN MY OPINION (which is mine and only mine and I dont speak for anyone else) I dont think IV is doing anything". People who think IV is doing something are most welcome to put their money where their mouth is....But the problem arises when IV pretends to represent the "Immigrant Community" but then turns back and says Well, there are 2 kinds of immigrants, the kind that give money to us and the kind who dont....See where i am going with that? Do try to think about the possibility (and i am only saying possibility) that you might be wrong and the one with the different viewpoint might have some merit to the discussion?
that's ok, you are eb2. so no worries, totally understand. no one is asking you to donate, did u get a personal email or phone call from me asking you to donate? You came to this thread, read my post, felt guilty conscious, and thought someone is asking you to donate, and came up with an absurd reason not to contribute. who asked you to contribute in the first place?
History? your I-485 was applied on 2nd July, 2007. Do u know the history of why u'r AOS was not thrown out the window because CIS reversed the visa bulletin? Who cares, as long as you are in the queue and others are paying for your free lunch.

According to him, we do. I'm slightly worried but not excessively so. I think we're gonna be ok. I'll call again in about an hour, so check back on here soon for my update.
Thanks BornConfused. Does this mean that we might get our GC approved between now and September 30, 2007 because the visa numbers have been allotted to us?
I will wait for your update. Thanks again.

Air France still does not get it. neither do other euro nations, Nor does Australia.
They are now dealing with a entirely different generation of Asians who do not care if they were once a developed nation or that they can manufacture aircrafts.
The reply is still suggestive of they taking care of the passengers and handling the situation well. No, they did not.
A technical aircraft problem is something that every airline faces everyday.
Air France not having a plan to care of non-american or non-eurpoean indians is completely their fault and outright racist. and that too a flight which is flying to India?
Did they expect everyone on the flight to be from a EU or North American nation, and that they will not require transit visas.
No, they simply did not care. They just did not make arrangement for Indian residents and hid behind the transit visa excuse.
If they wanted, they could have arranged for a Airport Transit visa for eveyone who did not have one.
But no, they assumed that regardless of how we treat them, an indian is going to fly Air France again if that is the cheapest option.
Funny is, that might be true, but that demographics is changing so fast that they better keep not caring, cos Indians will not fly with them anyways.

I was amused and angry at the same time. I am just wondering if we can somehow pool money and one of us can get them started by sending a $2500 check and see where it goes.
Assuming thay the information they will share is what all of us are seeking, it is not going to be a bad deal if we can find 500 people willing to chip in for this initiative (optimist me :) ).

Here I want to make clear, FIFO for taking labor applications and sending ad instructions not for approving. I know depending on compilcation of cases(I think), some cases with PD 2005 get approved fast and cases with PD 2003 are taking longer. I dont know why all these mess in DOL, for taking the labor applications and sending ad instructions.

This press release only shows that it is an administrative/executive fix. Either it is USCIS or DOS or the President, is what I do not know. But clearly, it is something not mandated by legislation, else USCIS/DOS would be breaking several laws by continuing to use the old bulletein.

Thanks Totoro.
Can Totoro (or anybody) answer this question?
We filed married filing joingly and received our tax returns and no stimulus rebate. Can we re-file our tax return by filing separately this year (i.e. extension/amendment within 3 months?) Has anyone done this? Please let me know.
I noticed that if you itemize your deductions, you dont loose much even if you file "married filing separately".
Thanks!

Hi Gurus,
Right now I am working for Company A and VISA with company A is valid till September 30 2007. Company B applied for Regular H1-B transfer (Receipt Date May 12) and it is still under process. I will be joining Company B on 1st October 2007.
Now due to some emergency I am traveling to India on 11August, 2007 and will come back on 11 Th September 2007. Also I can’t go for VISA stamping in India for Company B as I have not got my H1 Approval yet.
Given the above scenario, will I have any problem at the port of entry as my H1b transfer from company B has not been approved yet?
What all documents I have to carry to reenter safely?
Thanks in advance,
Ashok
I'm not sure if its ok to travel when an application is pending, check with some experts... but if I were you I would Convert it to PP and get the approval before travel and get stamping done... Thats the best option.

You are missing the whole point. If it was the way they worked it's fine, or if that's the way they are going to work that's fine too. But the only reason this was being done so fast is to churn out the maximum pending EAD's with 1 year approvals, so they come back to us with $340 checks next year. If it wasn't greed than they wouldn't have put point 5 and made EAD free only for post July 30 filers. If they were really loaded with application they would have done 2 years AP too.
And don't talk about India here. We are the people who paid peanuts to study Engineerings, doctorates etc from world renowned Institutions. We harldly pay for any services provided by the govt. And above all, what are we doing in return to our countries since we left. We never even bothered to go back and check how's our motherland doing.
I feel we don't have any right to talk about India....

Hi,
Employee of company A accepts an offer from another company B which promptly applies for a H1B transfer premium processing and its approved. Now the employee cannot join company B due to some problem and wants to remain with company A. Does company A need to apply for H1 transfer?
As I understand there will be no need to apply for the transfer again and the employee can continue working for company A. But the tricky part here is what if company B cancels the employees H1 visa seeing the employee did not join its workforce (considering that it just transferred it)?
Can some knowledgeable people please comment on the above scenario please.

Car Rally is a great idea!! Even 50 people can have a huge impact!
I think it will be better is we tour the city then travel too much on the interstate (more eye balls)
My dear brothers and sisters,
First of all I congratulate all the IV members who really worked very hard and contributed $ to make this rally a success. Unfortunately I couldn't attend the rally due to personal reasons which I could not explain here in detail. but I have contributed $ to IV and will be doing more contributions.
I think we need to get the media attention of top new channels like CNN, FoxNews, LA Times, Washington post etc. One way to get their attension is by a car rally from one city to another city with banners on top of our cars / vans in a co-ordinated way. i.e from LA to Sacramento by 100 or more cars/vans at the same time.
The other way is by sending flowers or donuts or pizzas to the news organization people i.e Larry King, Anderson, Lu Dubbs etc., by mentioning "Legal Immigrants did not get well deserved MEDIA ATTENTION and illegals got all the media attention". I am not saying that illegals should not get any media attention. We also deserve same kind of treatment. They are very busy in showing JJ Simpson on all the channels. what a shame.
We can also send flowers to the President office as well as to the parliment in grabing the media attention.
Thanks

Most EB2's who are talking on this forum are idiotic, egostic and too much of themselves to think straight. Case in point Smugbee, SNathan and TonyHK. Since they don't have ead they want ead and thats all they care about. As long as they get to file 485 and get ead they dont care.
When an eb3 complains about waiting for GC he/she is a whiner and has to recognize the superiority of an EB2 getting GC before EB3 even if teh EB2 is 1 year in thsi country and EB3 has been waiting for 12 years.
When an eb2 complains about not having ead his concerns are valid and nothing else is more important on IV thean that
Eb2 are there in Eb2 for a reason and Eb3 are there in Eb3 for a reason.
