First of all - THANK YOU. It's because of IV I am happy today with EAD cards on hand. I will never forget what IV did for me and thousands of GC applications in July. I can't forget the despair and the smiles IV brought back to our lives.
Probable reason - less motivated for couple of reasons which are already spelled out on this forum by others.
However I hoped to be part of rally towards the end. But couldn't. My parents came to USA last Friday. I did plan to combine my parents D.C tour with IV rally. But as such we happened to drop-in to D.C, unexpectedly, from Baltimore on Sunday itself. And on Tuesday 9/18 - all important day, we were busy packing to other attractions....
To Franklin -
Rally agenda - from the start, the D.C rally has not seemed need-based rally. San Jose rally and flower campaign were need-based. They were needed because USCIS ditched all July hopefuls. We were aghast and speech-less. So there was that burning-sensation in our tummies that took us to streets and greet the USCIS chief with bloody flowers!!
D.C rally has been strategic one. Somewhere in the beginning of the game, we pushed wrong buttons in marketing/selling the strategy or signing up people for the D.C rally. I remember very very few messages on the rally forums and tons and 100s of messages on "July 2" forum.
All senior fellows and the 1000+ members who made it to rally - have you surprised why there is NO 5000 - 10000 attendance.
Some more pointers to my thoughts -
> I can't associate all IV handles with real people easily.
> I don't know who is what (like in organizations we have people associated with certain responsibilities).
> Has anyone ever asked whether we should mention our association with IV in 485 application? And the repercussions?

Dear jchan,
We are very interested in this provision. Immigration Voice has heavily invested in this measure, both, legislatively and administrative. We have consistenly advocated for this provision which we believe will curb arm twisting by bad employers, that are like few bad apples in the big basket. Such a provision will help everyone including USCIS, lawyers, genuine companies, and direct+indirect beneficiary. Its a win-win for all.
.
Dear Admin, appreciate your reply. Is there any action items we can follow? I can start by creating a petition letter addressed to the secretary of DHS.

There are around 400 immigration litigation lawyers. If 10 members can volunteer and send this template it can be done. I am in between projects and I cannot devote any more time for this. If anybody takes control of this thread and contacting the lawyers I would be most happiest person. Pls don't tell me that there are no leaders in this group of 25,000 people who can do this miniscule task of contacting 400 lawyers and co-ordinating with them.

TEMPLATE LETTER
Sir/Madam,
We are a legal immigration association with more than 25,000 members in different visa statuses like H1-B etc. There is a per country quota which prevents any country from getting more than 9800 visas.
Visa Bulletin for February 2010 (http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4611.html)
This effects permanent residency (both familty based and employment based)applicants from India, China, Mexico and Philippies only. For example an Indian engineer with a masters degree has to wait 7-8 years for his permanent residency while an engineer with a masters degree from Mauritius would get his green card immediately.
We would like to challenge this racist federal immigration law. We would greatly appreciate if your organisation can help us from doing so.
These are some of the facts from the basic legal research that I have done.

Are they asking for $20 money order or a stamped envelope again? I won't be surprised if these people are pocketing the extra money.
She gave the choice to either send $20.00 MO or send an stamped envelope. I am contemplating on sending the $20.00 MO. Because I don't want them to tell me again that I have not sent the envelope, should I send one.

The most important part of rally is the lawmaker meeting because they decide to bring up the bills and then vote on them.
There are 635 lawmakers: 100 senators + 535 house members. It would be great if we could set up at least 1 meeting with every lawmaker and more meetings with immigration sub committee members.

It 'll not be in 2004 file ..check 2007 - when your Labor got approved.
To the best of my knowledge the 2007 file contains only PERM cases. There are no BEC or Pre-PERM cases in any MDB file dated 2005 or later. The files seem to be organized based on PD and not approval date. I still dont find my labor. I am the only GC applicant from my company and my position is a non-IT position so it should be relatively easy to find.

As I promised earlier I would keep you guys updated on the process of this case.
On saturday I received the welcome as a permanent resident to USA letter. After trying to get a hold of my attorney I got in touch with him.
Heres the story. (this guy is a genius)
I asked him how it was possible when my PD wasn't current I got GC approval.
His answer was funny and pleasant. Magic :D
He said after the approval of my PERM during filing I-140 under EB2 he also filed a petition under "person with extraordinary ability interest to US" on my behalf. So in other words both the petitions were being processed together at USCIS. Me not aware of USCIS rules wasn't aware of all the lingo so didn't know.
Now the Extraordinary ability petition quota is always current. So when my extraordinary petition was approved the attorney informed the USCIS that to adjucate my adjustment based on this approval. Since the PD was current for this category. USCIS processed and approved the GC based on that. I love this guy I don't have to work for my current employer anymore hence he will get a big surprise when I turn in 2 day resignation. HA...

Appu, I found it! Frist's bill says that for foreign applicants with advanced degrees in STEM from an accredited US grad program (no matter when they graduated), notwithstanding the applicant's eligibility for US permanent residence, the applicant can file for adjustment of status if the applicant has an immigrant petition filed under one of the EB categories.
This means that the applicant does not have to undergo labor certification at all! This is because for a person that wants to work in the US is only eligible for US permanent residence if the applicant undergoes labor cert.
See p. 217 of S2454, lines 8-9. This applicant is still subject to the quotas and has to wait for a visa number for approval of adjustment of status.
Both bills allow "special handling" for applicants with advanced degrees who have worked in the US for three years. I am confused about how exactly that works. My brother-in-law is a college prof and he had to go thru PERM labor cert, though they used the results of his original recruitment and didn't have to file fresh ads. So I am not sure if the "special rule labor cert" in 8 USC 1182 (a)(5)(A)(ii) directly relates to Schedule A.
But these applicants don't have to wait for a visa number and are exempt from the quota.
An applicant with a US grad STEM degree and 3 years experience probably can go right to I140/485 concurrent without labor cert and is not subject to Labor cert or any quota.
Yeah, that's the tricky part. I think all professions that require advanced
degrees in STEM have been classified (by Section 406) as Schedule A.
Which means you file ETA form 9089 directly to USCIS NOT to the DOL.
That's the "special labor certification" that the Specter mark-up refers to.
The PACE act doesn't have this provision - it excludes future F4 visa graduates from labor certification but says nothing about the current advanced degree holders. Frist's bill seems to exempt all those with advanced degrees and are employed in their field of expertise from going to the DOL for certification. Plus, if you have been employed for 3 years or more, then the quota doesn't apply and you get a visa number right away.

About the funds .. you know the answer and logiclife videos tells exactly the same. But you said I know nothing about the funds. What exactly you are looking for. Money spend on each event? i think they started doing it. Recently pappu mentioned they need 41k for the rally.. I think we are improving on that front ..

some of you asked about repercussions of this sudden forward movement. i am not a lawyer or anything but I think the processing time for employment based 485 in Nebraska Center will move back from Aug 13, 2006 (
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC
).
I dunno... may be by a year I guess (again total speculation - I am not a lawyer or an USCIS expert).
also according to (http://www..com/usa-immigration-trackers/i485-graph) current processing times by recent approval dates seem to be between 250 to 350 days range (disclaimer: there are other ways to analyze this).
