I replied to the EB3_Nepa's first post saying that we probably should support killing this bill and try to attach our amendments to other bills.
And then I saw posts from others saying there were 700000 faxes from anti immigrant groups to kill the bill. And we barely managed to send some 10000 to 20000.
Like someone else said we seem to fighting their huge swords with our toothpicks. With a member strength of 14000, we will not be able to fight their web fax camaigns with any bill this year (even appropriations bills etc.).
So I come to this conclusion (which IV pundits probably arrived at long back) - the only way we can fight the anti immigrants is by aggressive lobbying. We have only 14000 members, but we together can contribute like we are a 700000 membership. And then we could think about hiring more than one lobbying firm if that helps, otherwise apply more pressure through the one we currently use.
This is the only way, I feel we can get anything done this year, because increasing membership takes a longer time than raising funds, and we dont have time!!!!
I completely agree with you. We have not come all this way just to look up at the sky and say "Thank God, the CIR failed" OK. Dont know how many hours / money the core members could have put in in washington or otherwise regarding this bill. I firmly believe that failure of cloture of vote was part of the lobbying effort too. If eveyone wanted to just get this passed in the current form, then why did the vote fail? They know there needs to be key changes and thats what they will now work towards. Now neelu whether you are UGA / sharma's lab or not, I completely agree with you.

Hi,
1. I am on L1 with current company A(with current i-94 expiring in Nov 2007). I got my H1 approval this year from consultant B and they got the I-797B. This document shows the validity from Nov 2007-2010. But I have heard people get something called I-797A which has a new I-94 attached to it and in my case it is not.
Here are my questions.
1. Can I start working for consultant B from Oct 1.(after quitting the company A with L1).?
2. What should I do since I have current I-94 only till Nov 15th 2007 and if I ask my current company A to extend it they wont do because I want to leave them as early as possible before Oct 1st.
3. Can my consultant file for the change of STATUS from L1 to H1B(the approval for which I have already received from USCIS) and then in that case it will have new I-94 attached.
4. Anyother suggestions what should I be doing so that I can start working on H1 after Oct1st here and then whenever I go back to India, after 4 or 5 months I will have the Visa stamped.
Thanks in advance.

Speed of approval is not the problem. The NUMBERS are the problem. We saw that in June when so many ppl got approved.
To me "SKILLED & DIVERSITY" doesn�t make any sense. They should not go hand in hand.
That is actually not true. Approval will not become quicker if speed is not improved.
The ONLY reason there were a LOT of approvals in May through Sept was that there was a sudden jump in PDs that allowed a LOT of people whose applications had been approved pending visa availability could finally be assigned a number. USCIS didn't all of a sudden dramatically increase their productivity, there were just a lot of people waiting for that number.
Of course, Numbers matters too - but more numbers without extra speed will get us nowhere. If that were to happen, there would just be more visas wasted each year that we'd be asking for recapture
But I do agree that "skilled and diversity" makes no sense.

Everybody knows exercising is good. However, it is not easy to see the results of exercising. To see the results, you may have to stop exercising and then only you will realise oh, this is what exercising helps me not become.
If you want to sit and say, let the exercise show me the results and then I will do, well it's up to you. If you are happy the way you are , fine. But, don't knock the exercise.
Personally, I am not desperate about GC, so I never contributed except for 2 instances. One was a 100$ thank you gift for the SSN that came with EAD that got me additional 600$ tax refund. I felt IV has atleast has something to do with the visa bulletin reversal. Some may say, it could have happened even without IV, and may be correct.
The other time is 25$ for FOIA, where I was curious to get a clear picture of how many people are in the line before me.
Now, eventhough I don't believe in all other activities IV is doing , I don't go around knocking them down. I am sure they are trying to do the best they can and the best that they can think of. They always have an open invitation for people to join them and get involved. No, we don't want to get involved, get our hands dirty,but we want periodic updates and continuous progress.
Well, goodluck with that.
For those asking for money, THERE HAS NOT BEEN A SINGLE UPDATE ON ANY PROGRESS SPECIFICALLY ACHIEVED BY IV IN THE LAST YEAR AND HALF !!!
How can you justify this? Actually, you dont have to....There are many like me who will answer questions of panicked people about how to navigate the complex immigration system but until IV can provide some concrete proof of what specifically it is doing, how exactly it is spending the money and what roadmap of progress it hopes to achieve and whether it is on its way to achieving it....the money wells will continue to be dry.

of course they will accept them
and they will accept your 485 and AP and EAD...
as long as they can cash the checks.
the law has not changed, no one can presume what will happen
it's just that we are the fools in this, spending thousands of dollars without any choice in the matter, and then in one sweep all of it will be laid waste and we will be starting again...
what's more, for the indians among us, with the merit system, when with 90 points on board you will have no assurance of ever getting a green card.
what a alife :-) :-( yeah both, i can't decide!!

Ok, firstly, if you are really honest about your feelings, no one is really happy for another unless what the other has done is useful to you. You can wax your eloquence with claims to contrary, but you know it is true. So stop this pretensions.
Ok, you want a constructive suggestion? Rat on everyone who is doing fake jobs, is a body-shopee, bought his GC etc. That should get rid of at least 20-30% (conservative numbers). How many will support it? I guess not many.
How about asking USCIS to make the priority date of the substituted applications to be the day 140 is filed? Any takers there? I guess not.
And then people have the gall to tell us to be happy for Eb2ers, and that we are jealous.
PS: I realize that substitution is no longer possible, I mean to ask USCIS to retroactively apply the priority dates for such cases.
sc3, First of all let me express understanding of your agony and disappointment. If I were in your situation, probably I'll be talking like you.:)
You recite several unfair things. Who said there aren't any unfair things around? IV has feeble power when comapred to the massive muscle and money power of various lobbies who are stacked against us. In this context saying things that could undermine the unity of IV members can only further undermine any future efforts. Are you saying IV should "rat out" these people who have fake jobs and work for body shops?
A very dissproportionaely large number of EB3ROW and EB3I were adjudicated last June 2007, one ecould say at the expense of EB2-I. It is not unreasonable for EB2-I members to feel this way.
The question should be what to do now? There is no other way than lobbying for recapture bill.

Re: Open Response for EB2vsEB3:
I think US need smart working people not software only working people. Most of these so called software programmers are not really skilled workers. I've seen anyone with little education can do their jobs. If anyone is suffering b'coz of EB3 i think they should consider different profession and be happy.
trying to add more fuel to the fire. Looks like you are neither smart nor software smart. You are just a "fused Tube Light"

Swamy - You have posted a truly brilliant quote my friend. My contributions to Immigrationvoice will begin shortly. Good luck to us all and God bless.
I did sometime back.
Given thanksgiving is barely a week away, we can be certain of the usual platitudes directed at immigrants - this is a good time to remind the average American how far they have strayed from their roots and forgotten the true sentiment behind the tradition. Immigrants have always been hated and reviled by those that got here earlier - but the current anti-immigrant sentiment is vastly different in scale and sophistry due to the times we live in. If every IV member signs up 10 citizens to the immigrant cause, we should easily be 100,000 strong in a couple of weeks. It could be anyone from your advisor at school who mentored you to your buddies at work - even the stinkin relatives should be harassed. Though CIS and Numbersusa pretend that they are a product of the current anti-illegal sentiment, they started out much before the so-called 'wave' started. And they have adapted and honed their strategies very well to crush whatever relief Congress contemplates/passes. Consider the way CIS was initially dedicated to 'researching' immigrant issues that they would complain about the media's positive stories about immigrant contributions as merely anecdotal evidence not worthy of rebuttal. Now they are suddenly fond of anecdotal evidence themselves since experts began demolishing their claims of job-stealing and other baseless charges convincingly(esp CFR's Sebastian Mallaby) using empirical evidence-they shamelessly stoop to use someone's sob story to make their case. So, as repugnant as their motives are, they are too transparent for their own good- and they can't cover their tracks -which is good for us since we are appealing to the fair minded. Remember - every one in the US is an immigrant or an offspring of one. They have always been hated and reviled -so if someone who benefited from the immigrant tradition of this nation wants to turn around and deny it to those following him/her even though their ancestors did the same thing at a great emotional/economic cost to the then existing natives- they have a higher bar in explaining why the current bunch shouldn't continue to benefit from the great tradition-merely being bigoted but sophisticated enough to hide it isn't enough. so don't lose heart but dont sit on your ass either.

Thank you for contacting me about my views on the current immigration proposals being considered by Congress.
I have long supported legislation to curb illegal immigration by increasing criminal penalties for immigrant smuggling and document fraud, eliminating the use of government documents that are easily forged, and doubling the number of border patrol guards. Better enforcement and tougher penalties for both undocumented immigrants and their lawbreaking employers are the way to fight unauthorized employment, and employment opportunities are what drive illegal immigration.
Unless we fix the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) and enforce our own labor laws, we will continue to debate how high the fence should be and how many agents should guard our border � with no real solution in sight. In 1994, the U.S. signed NAFTA, which promised, among other things, to help create a thriving middle class in Mexico. At that time there were 3 million undocumented workers in the U.S.; today there are more than 11 million. In Mexico, 9 million more live in poverty than when NAFTA was enacted. NAFTA has failed the U.S. and Mexico. By creating an atmosphere where Mexican citizens feel they have no chance of a successful life in Mexico, these ill-conceived trade agreements increase the number of illegal immigrants coming into our country.
In addition to addressing the forces that are compelling illegal immigration, we must take action to bring illegal immigrants out of the shadows. While I do not support amnesty and have serious concerns about guest worker programs, I do believe our nation should consider establishing a process by which illegal immigrants can eventually earn citizenship. The solution to our immigration problem will not be a simple one, as many things in our country need to be fixed to stop illegal immigration. It is time to take a common sense approach to immigration reform.
The Senate most recently considered immigration when S.1639 was introduced in the 110th Congress. On June 28, 2007, the Senate rejected a cloture motion to proceed to final passage of S.1639 by a vote of 46 yeas to 53 nays. I was deeply concerned about the guest worker provisions in this bill, and voted against proceeding to a final vote. Should these issues come again before the Senate in the 111th Congress, I will be sure to keep your views in mind. Thank you again for contacting me.
Sincerely,
Sherrod Brown
United States Senator

quick question..I guess, yous was AP renewal?
What is the fee for each applicant, 305 + 80??
I have a travel coming up and I think I have to shell out $1000 bucks now (for 3 of us) :mad:
I recently got my AP renewed and paid $305 for my appication. AP is not required for kids born in US.
Fee per applicant is $305 where did you find $80?
A few post earlier I mentioned details of my application process. Hope you find this info useful

Just called USCIS and told her that My application was mailed on Jun 28th and it got delivered on July 02. I also told her that my PD is May 2003 (hence i'm eligible to file in June)..
She told me that since i mailed it in June and this Notice goes into effect in July 02 my application WILL NOT be rejected... She asked me to wait for receipt notice :)
GOING CRAZZZZZZZZZZZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Anything received on july 2nd is history.it doesn't matter when you sent it.what matters is when USCIS received it.
I spoke to a cust. rep and she did tell me that all apps received on and after july 2nd will be returned. To be sure , she put me through an immigration officer (I am still listening to the music)

My company started the PERM process for me about 2.5 months ago. I contacted Fragomen about 1.5 months after approvals within the company and they said they are working on establishing min requirements for the position. I then contacted them 3 weeks after that day and they said they have established the requirement and will request the DOL for prevailing wage info (this was 2 weeks ago). After which they are going to start the recruitment process. So I'm not sure if the time line is okay or should I be chasing them more frequently? Please advise.

As far as I know, if one goes to UK on a work permit, the spouse can start working from the beginning itlsef. The professional and the spouse get their automatic PR in 4 years just by being there. There are similar examples in other countries, but, the fact is that if we have to be in the US, we have to go by "their rules".
I admire US administration's guts to openly admit and declare that they are biased and work on a case by case basis or at will when it comes to looking out for their own interests, even in the immigration (Not to mention, they look confused as well).
For example, how is a spouse of an L1 visa holder anyway different from a spouse of and H1 ? The difference is that the US government presents the L2 spouses with an EAD at arrival and restricts the H4 spouses to home.
Well, I think we should take one thing at a time, and the current task in hand at IV is more than enough to comprehend and fight for, adding the H4 issue eventually may add value, but not at this juncture.

Please don't shoot me for these thoughts, but please consider it only for sake of discussion.
Now that CIR is defeated again for nth time, We really need to consider rethinking about our stratergy,
I guess we are about 15K membership and if we include spouse and take a guess every one in five has dependent kid to join (wild gusstimate) we come close 35-40K approximately.
most of us are legal and we should not having any issue in getting Green card with current law only if backlog is cleared and we recapture visa numbers.
to recapture visa numbers we don't need any legislative reform AC-21 does apply,
We need to spend more energy in researching possibility of recapturing 90K visas and we will be done,
I really don't think we have strength and will power to fight legislation change along with illegals for most controversial subject.
we are legals letz use it our advantage.
I did belive in piggy back ride along with illegals, but I don't any more,
Now that CIR is defeated again for nth time, We really need to consider rethinking about our stratergy,

hi mirage,
you dont need to pay anymore money for EAD when you apply in future. this is what my attorney said. Thats why USCIS fees is very high and its one time fess for EAD and AP.
I don't think that's true. You pay every time for renewal of AP/EAD. Its a nonstop source of revenue for USCIS.

Come on, man. We are paying too much attention here. Look, there is always somebody stuck somewhere. People are stuck in BEC, in other contries. People are stuck in Afganistan, Bangalore, there are hungry people stuck in Africa. So? If there are hungry people, then I can't enjoy my dinner then? Someone always has to come and say "you enjoy and there are people stuck somewhere"? What's your reaction would be if someone come on your wedding and start complaining that he is impotent? - these are a little extreme examples, just to make a point.
I'm a June filer, and this July thing will hit me too, but I still congratulate those July filers. So what? I understand that we will start getting our EADs in a year (so we would be applying for next EAD once we got current one). I understand that USCIS officers will be irritated and pissed, they will be under tons of application and everybody will be calling and bugging them. So? I realize that it maybe will take 3-4 years for us to get GC. So? I realize that DOS might retrogress now dates for many years on Oct, and will not do the same stupid mistake as making dates current and unleashing the voluntary slaves. So?
Today was little tiny success and it was day of tiny celebration. There is day for complaining and there is day for celebration.
oh god...people stuck at BEC are compared to people "stuck" in afghanistan/africa. Dont understand what they are stuck for... :o
