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 in lieu of no increase in EB green cards.
Ask yourself a question. If you were running a big business - whom would you prefer -- GC Employees or H1-B Employees.
What may be good for us may not be good for the other side.

Sparky I had same experience in 2003 only my next flight was after 24 hours. They refused to accommodate me in a hotel or on another flight though they had sense to issue me a calling card for 10 euros and a meal coupon. I have never flow AF since that day (even if their tickets are cheaper) and neither has any of my friends or family member. Every time I hear somebody is planning to fly to India, I tell them my story and trust me nobody I know has flow with AF since 2003.
I have never flown with them. I always prefer AA and Continental direct flight. Nobody I know have ever flown with AF and now I will make sure nobody ever does.
I hope media in India makes a very big deal out of this issue. They will learn their lesson.

As per member priderock's post the LAY ON THE TABLE description from THOMAS means that the Cantwell AMDT has been killed .
But then why is AILA saying this on their post : http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22481
One amendment that has been “filed,” but is not currently “pending” is the Cantwell amendment which is very important to business immigration interests. We do not know at this time what will happen with this amendment – whether it will come to the floor for debate or be negotiated through unanimous consent into the final package.
From AILA's description it would seem that the Amendment is does not have the status "lie on the table" as that would mean that the amendment has been killed with no possibility of coming up but AILA's description as to possible future of the amendment is to the contrary.

This is a slippery slope,
"would create a quota exemption for certain highly skilled immigrants who have at least three years of U.S. work experience"
the keyword is "certain", in skil that "certain" meany MS or PHD, what does this certain mean, it all depends on the definition of certain, it would be nice if the use the same definition of skil (masters and phd)
Please have a look on thomas. The "certain" is clearly defined in proposed SA 1249 to S. 1348.

You have been banned for the following reason:
Disruptive posts
Date the ban will be lifted: Never
After thinking about it, I feel very very sorry for disrupting the cheerful atmosphere on this forum. It is time for champagne, not complaints. This should be a place to congratulate and applaud IV's achievements, instead of that to express one's own frustrations. People with 07 PD has the privilege to cheer when they cut in front of us, but we should not feel sad for being pushed back because it is a disruptive behavior.
Please do not list what you have done to add items in the legislation to help BEC victims, it does not look genuine any more when it is considered disruptive to express one's depression on a board specially for BEC victims.
This will be my last post, as I am sure they will ban both my ID and IP. For everyone who still reads my post, Good luck!
Don't be sorry, but take action. Donate to IV and get your papers ready to file for 485.

You are certainly entitled to your interpretation and Mr. Gotcher is entitled to his but I wouldn't go as far as calling it a ploy to increase more traffic. I am not sure if you are an attorney but he is and he certainly has more understanding of immigration law than most of us here. As with any law and immigration in particular, there is room left for interpretation and Mr. Gotcher is simply stating his point of view. You are more than welcome to disagree with him but I wouldn't call him greedy.
According to posters on Mr Gotcher's forum, there are law firms that are already preparing class-action lawsuits on behalf of I-485 applicants who claim to have been disadvantaged by the change of interpretation in the April bulletin. I don't see anything wrong with Mr Gotcher discussing the issue to clarify different interpretations, and even determine whether these potential lawsuits have good chances of succeeding. This issue and potential outcomes are equally important to both EB-2 India and EB-3 ROW people.

No one is talking about what happened in Apr-2001. Bill Clinton allowed all illegal aliens to file AOS in EB-3 category. That brought estimated 8-10 million filings in Jan-Apr 2001 under EB-3 category. That's why it took so long for EB-3 to get past Apr-2001. With EB-3 having a number cap, I still have a feeling that those estimated 8-10 million are still floating around in the system and dragging EB-3 category. Any thoughts on this?
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.

All that is being said is very true. Petitioning the US gov't is as American as apple pie. As aspiring Americans we can only be respected for this, if we do it politely and peacefully.
People who put in a herculean effort (not to be underestimated by anyone here) to organize the rally and surrounding activities, broke their backs trying to lay a platform for the rest of us to communicate our case. It is only natural that when they get the lamest of lame excuses, they feel upset.
Every one of us has skin in this game. We need to find some way to lend our weight to this issue rather than just passing time on this or other websites. It is really unclear to me why in America, the most free society on the face of the earth, people feel unmotivated, inert, insecure etc to press what is a most legitimate grouse.
Let me give you a few points that might convince you in this issue. For most of us:
1) We are here at the behest of our employers or the US Gov't (NIW cases). Not on our own accord or illegitimately.
2) The US gov't has certified that our jobs do not have suitably qualified americans to take them.
3) The US Gov't has approved our immigrant petitions.
4) We are in a period of inordinate delay to complete the steps due to a variety of factors, including bureaucratic delays, inordinately long security checks(BTW bad for both us and the country) and an inadequate supply of visa numbers for the number of approved petitions.
5) We are asking the US Gov't to fix this issue and treat us fairly and not make us wait 6-10 yrs for no clear reason.
6) We are asking them to be more straightforward in their policy and to stop sending mixed signals.
Above all we are doing it in the most American of ways. Peacefully petitioning and lobbying the government. Most broad minded Americans can and do relate to this.

This letter has no mention of the problems regarding permanent residency, it only refers to the H1-B quota issues, we should contact the Congressman Shadegg to clarify that its not just about the H1-B, the problem also lies in the immigration process of skilled workers. If this is not part of his bill then we should urge(request) him to include this.
PK
Well thats our fate .. we are always forced to piggyback on a larger issue. With CIR it was illegal immigration, now it is H1-B. But you got to understand that if not for corporate lobbying (who have a heavier stake in H1-Bs) this bill would not have seen the light of day, that too in the house. We got to be thankful we are at least not being treated on par with the illegal aliens .. the broad theme of this bill is highly related to skilled immigration, which is much less controversial than granting citizenship to illegals; not withstanding the tancredos and numbersUSAs who will still be yelling doomsday from the rooftops. Granted we are flying under the radar as usual, but I very much doubt this will be an H1-B only bill without any EB relief.

I checked the status online with this receipt # and online status shows that they recieved the aplication on 19th and its at Texas center. May be my appl was moved to Texas now.
wat information does the lawyer/employer needs to give to USCIS to get the receipt number ?
Can you put some light on it ...

Now its become so cheap. Now you guys have literally taken it to the streets. There's no difference between those illegal immigrants and us. This H1visa has ruined it for really smart students who come here on F1 with full scholarship.
This software industry and these cheap bodyshopping companies made it nothing more than a whore business.
My heart is broken. I dont care anymore.thats why i did not come to DC.

First of all, the interpretation of the new provisions itself is subjective. Different interpretations, corrections, amendments to interpretations, etc will lead to another mess, after the provisions pass into law. As you already know, IV volunteers are currently researching on the hard country allocation issue, which may arguably worsen the retrogression for Chinese/Indians.
Let us assume that we are still able to pass the final provisions including the provision for amended soft country allocation. Imagine the number of applications that will flood the USCIS if the priority dates are adjusted to allow for all the eligible applicants. Do you foresee another backlog formation similar to the backlog centers that were formed for reducing labor applications and the mess they are in, currently?. Please note that the staff for USCIS will not increase, atleast for the next 1 year, until they figure out the volume of applications created with the new law and identify the magnitude of the staff shortage.
Even though I do feel that the existing retrogression will ease, if the provisions under consideration are passed into law; however USCIS will still keep some form of retrogression to control the flow of applications, especially for the EB3 category. In such a scenario, it is preferable that the USCIS allows the 485 filing and provides the EAD. EB3 applicants will be better off knowing that their 485s/EADs are in process/available, while waiting for the GC. So, even if the Eb3 applicant has to wait for 2-3 years (instead of the current 5 years) to get his final GC, he is atleast not dependent on his current employer.
I think, 485 filing ability is critical to the plight of EB3 applicants.
I don't believe you are right. Cut-off dates are not established based on the USCIS workload and its staffing, but rather on the predicted balance between demand for and supply of GCs. Therefore if worst comes to worst we will see a backlog at the USCIS level again, ie their processing time will go way beyond today's 6 months. BUt if the DOS believes that they have enough GC available to meet the demand in each and every particular quarter they will adjust cut-off dates accordingly.

Please read section 405 of Bill Frists summary for his bill
http://frist.senate.gov/_files/031706section.pdf
It clearly mentions that the immediate application of I-140 and I-485 applies to f-4 visa holders only that too if they find a job in their field within 1 yr of graduating. and on payin $1000
it remains to be seen which category is elgibile for f-4 (only phds or more). it is possible that some current students on f-1 will be eligible for conversion to f-4.
for rest of f-1 students it simply allows for 2 yr OPT instead of curretn 1 yr.
it also implies that the labor cert exemption does not apply to already graduated MS or PhD STEM degree holders with or without 3 yrs exp.
my 2 cents
