You should be EB10 and not EB2! Some folks in this forum are really crazy!
There is no relationship between approval/duration of EAD and movement of PDs.
By the way, since India won all the previous encounters with Pak in world cups, India will win on Wednesday!
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
Absolutely right! Now line up the reds.. Oh, maybe you finished your quotas today, so let's wait till tomorrow

Consequences of the
National Origins Act
The goal of the National Origins Act was to control
both the quantity and quality of U.S. immigrants in an
effort to prevent further erosion of the ethnic composi-
tion of U.S. society. The law accomplished this goal
using three mechanisms: capping the overall number of
immigrants allowed into the United States in a given
month and year; favoring immigrants from certain
countries; and screening out otherwise qualified immi-
grants as unsuitable to the United States during the visa
screening process. The sorting mechanism heavily
favored northern and western European countries. The
temporary formula of 2% of the foreign-born of each
nationality in the 1890 census gave 85% of the quotas
to northern and western European nations. The national
origins system fully implemented in 1929 continued
the trend of both overall restriction and nation bias.
Indeed, the act virtually halted all immigration from
southern and eastern Europe. Thus, European immigra-
tion dropped from more than 800,000 in 1921 to less
than 150,000 by the end of the decade.
In addition to controlling the volume of immigra-
tion from Europe, the National Origins Act also
allowed a mechanism for selection of immigrants as
well. In its creation of consular offices abroad, the act
provided a frontline screening mechanism for select-
ing out those deemed unsuitable for the United States.

PART ONE
This is an old topic but I thought I would post some interesting info that I found. Give me green before someone drowns me in red.
Equal Protection Clause - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_protection)
The Supreme Court has defined these levels of scrutiny in the following way:
Strict scrutiny (if the law categorizes on the basis of race or national origin or infringes a fundamental right): the law is unconstitutional unless it is "narrowly tailored" to serve a "compelling" government interest. In addition, there cannot be a "less restrictive" alternative available to achieve that compelling interest.
In Bakke, the Court held that racial quotas are unconstitutional, but that educational institutions could legally use race as one of many factors to consider in their admissions process. In Grutter and Gratz, the Court upheld both Bakke as a precedent and the admissions policy of the University of Michigan law school. In dicta, however, Justice O'Connor, writing for the Court, said she expected that in 25 years, racial preferences would no longer be necessary. In Gratz, the Court invalidated Michigan's undergraduate admissions policy, on the grounds that unlike the law school's policy, which treated race not as one of many factors in an admissions process that looked to the individual applicant, the undergraduate policy used a point system that was excessively mechanistic.
In these affirmative action cases, the Supreme Court has employed, or has said it employed, strict scrutiny, since the affirmative action policies challenged by the plaintiffs categorized by race. The policy in Grutter, and a Harvard College admissions policy praised by Justice Powell's opinion in Bakke, passed muster because the Court deemed that they were narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling interest in diversity. On the other side, it is argued that the purpose of the Equal Protection Clause is to prevent the socio-political subordination of some groups by others, not to prevent classification; since this is so, non-invidious classifications, such as those used by affirmative action programs, should not be subjected to heightened scrutiny.[30]

The 1921 Emergency Quota Act restricted immigration to 3% of foreign-born persons of each nationality resident in the United States in 1910.
The Immigration Act of 1924 provided that for three years immigration will be restricted to 2% based on the census of 1890, and that after June 30, 1927, total immigration from all countries will be limited to 150,000 based upon national origins of white inhabitants as shown by the census of 1920.

It is amusing to see that there are quite a few people who want the very door closed that they used to enter. It is even more amusing to see that the fault is always someone elses. It is similar to all the people who are opposed to immigration because it is someone elses fault that they are losing their job. Down right funny :p.
We need to focus on solving our problems without blaming others for our problems. Because once we go down that lane, we are no better than anyone from NumbersUSA or any other organization/ people who are against immigration. It is OK if we do not support increasing H1B - but saying that the H1B program needs to shutdown is not correct. I am sure that one can reason in the same breath that the EB3 category needs to be eliminated so that retrogression can truely be eliminated :eek:
I am proposing that it is better to completely eleminate EB3 than
having some kind of false promise of GC.
I know lots of IT guys from India fall for the Green card promise form employers even now (they say I applied and I should get in 2 years or so..
what should I say to those people)
By the way I am not "really" asking for H1B to be shut down. I am saying H1B
in its current form should be shut down. Obviously when the time comes
to actually shut it down, Corp America will panic and fix the problems.
In US, if Corp America really wants they WILL get it done.
In a presidencial election, a canadiate needs close to 100 million.
A senator needs around 2 million for an election.
Congressmen need lesser money and thats why they are more listening to local population (and oppose any H1B /EB etc) and can afford to oppose Corp America.
End 2006 when GOP Congress was trying to pass a rule
making illegal a felony and also a fine 50000$ per illigeal worker employer
employed it was the american chamber of commerce that took out the
big guns and ofcourse their surrogates/supporters orgaised those
Marches in April 2006.
However if GOP were to truly pander to their base they would have passed
that ( anyway illegals dont vote much)

Sorry, I don't agree with you and also my mistake that I am linking my perm labor filing with Larrabee. I agree my perm labor is delayed because of my company.
But I have seen Larrabee handling my h1B transfer case where they screw up by missing some document. Atleast by my experience I wound not suggest my company and Larrabee as well for any immigration stuff
all our h1's transfers perm 140 got processed smoothly with larrabee...they worked all of friday and saturday to file 485's to reach by monday
it all boils down to which attorney handles your case?

Hope your ideas or similar ones work. But seriously�.. if someone isn�t contributing 50/100 bucks, will he/she be willing to get IV credit cards.
From my experience I would like to say contribution is simple. Hard part for me was to convince myself that this was right thing to do. I don�t think it will be about monitory constraints for most of us.
While we are brainstorming constructive ideas, I would like to suggest some fund raising ideas. ( I have posted this kind of ideas earlier but no solid response.)
Instead of strictly relying on funding drives IV should consider alternative source of funding.
Here are two most simple ideas
1) Start showing Google ads on IV website. I am happy to see click on ads and generate some fund for IV
2) IV branded credit card, its very simple Chase/BOA will be happy to sponsor IV credit card and pay 2% back monthly to IV if they can sign up 20,000 new customers.
Keep asking for donating fund hits wall everytime, its time to work on alternative ideas.

Because of unlimited H1b entire bill may be voted down if taken for consideration. It will be big surprise if any bill passes with unlimited H1b or GC in any category.
I don't understand the risk you are mentioning. How unlimited H1B is going to cause problem in eliminating retrogression in EB catagories?

If you do some more research before writing you will realize that H1C are limited to 500 visas a year and the conditions for selecting the hospitals allowed to sponsor is so stringent only 14 hospitals or so in all US qualify. Here is some more info.
http://shusterman.com/h1cfaq.html
Also here is a list of 14 hospitals in all of US who qualify. There is not even 1 hospital that qualifies in majority of states.

Hi,
Many posts on this thread suggest that there is no H1B type visa for nurses and so they have to come on only greencard; and that is why Health lobby is trying hard to GRAB 90K unused visas (note: I consider this as a grab because from skill/CIR bills; we are trying to recapture unused visas and make them available to ALL EB immigrants rather than allocating them to one special group). But according to this news item on immigration-law there seems a non-immigrant visa H1C available for nurses. Is this true? am I misreading this?

02/13/2007: DOL Announcement of Processing of H-1C Labor Attestations
The Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Reauthorization Act of 2005 took effect December 20, 2006. The Act reauthorized the H-1C nonimmigrant nurses program, a program originally created by the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999. Under this program, eligible hospitals file attestations with the Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification which, if approved, will support nonimmigrant worker petitions filed with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The Department of Health and Human Services has informed the Office of Foreign Labor Certification that the same hospitals eligible for the original program continue to be eligible. These were listed in the Department of Labor's Interim Final Rule implementing its portion of the H-1C program published on August 22, 2000 (65 Fed. Reg. 51138). The Employment and Training Administration, under the authority of the new public law, is reinstating the H-1C labor attestation program and is accepting applications by qualified hospitals. Eligible hospitals should be advised that the now-expired OFLC form (ETA 9081), Attestations by Facilities Temporarily Employing H-1C Nonimmigrant Aliens as Registered Nurses, has not been authorized by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for current use. However, the OFLC will accept applications using the expired form until a new form is approved by the OMB. The attestations are made enforceable by the 2005 Act. ETA is in the process of revising the form under the OMB clearance process, and taking other appropriate regulatory action. Once approved by OMB, employers will be required to use only the new form.

European carriers are not that friendly to indian flyers. if you have a choice, try to avoid them.
Never had a problem with KLM and BA. Got stuck in amsterdam for 36 hours, the airline got us all transit visa, a kit containing basic toiletries and night clothes. put us up in real nice rooms at the Sheraton, and gave us lunch and dinner vouchers to use at any restaurant on the airport.

My current employer told me 2 days ago that he will lay me off. It hit me out of nowhere cause there were no signs pr signals. I dont know how much time he will give me to find a new job. So, here are my questions?
How much time do I have legally to find a new job and to get the visa transferred?
Which forms has the new company to file and how much gonna be the fees?
Is premium processing possible?
Can I start working for a non-for-profit organization?
Does anybody know of website for H1B accounting jobs?
Your help is much appreciated:) .

I totally understand the push from IV to encourage state chapters and build grassroots strength to this movement.
Join the state chapter : IV does not have a state chapter in the state I live in - Nebraska,: So I thought I would start one and wrote to IV ...after initial response from IV , there has been no progress .
Start contributing: I have already contributed $100 and will contribute further as and when I can.
Volunteer for IV: Volunteered to start the state chapter.
Well I have done my bit so hopefully I will not be disparaged for making comments on this issue,
Singlemost big bottleneck is lack of "Visa Numbers"...
485 applications pending :~340,000( ~ 320,000(recent flood) + ~20,000 SWAG on previously pending ).
visa numbers have been lost in the recent past - ~200,000 (This is the number thrown around)
Visa numbers available if we recapture :~340,000 (200,000 + 140,000 of this years quota)
So, if we had not lost those numbers, retrogression would be minimal/reasonable.
We could have even accommodated the skewness of India & china numbers, because each year India & China would have been benefitted by unused ROW numbers.
From my above understanding, the quota(140,000) fixed seems to be fine/reasonable, though per country quota is extremely unrealistic. But even this will not hurt much as long as unused numbers are used up by year end.
IMHO, demanding recapture is more an easy/winnable/achievable argument than the one to raise the quota itself .
Because the reason the visa numbers were lost is purely due to incompetencies of two federal institutions. State Dept and USCIS.
For two and half years (05 - 07 June) they artificially retrogressed the dates
way back to 1999 - 2001.
This prevented any approvals and new applications even though plenty of visa numbers were available(~ 200,000 cumulative).
For congress/senate it is easy to make their case for recapture citing incompetencies of these institutions rather than making case for "INCREASE" in numbers.
Many ways to achieve this objective- Ask for increase and settle for recapture.
Anyway - My point is Recapture will solve most of our problems and we should channel most of our resources to achieve this objective.
