    If you have read this post you have also read that IV won't inform which firms that they are going with, and the change is because of contract expiring. Please stop letting your disillusionment affect ur judgment. All people can do is join state chapters and contribute more. If you feel this leadership is going nowhere why don't you give up some of your free time and do some active work and contribute more.


    ok, i am beginning to lose confidence now... first no i-485 relief and now wait till CIR>.....last year, CIR turned out to be a big circus....i hope this time something productive happens....


    why are we changing lobbying firm? what do you mean it is a strategic decision?

    are we dissatisfied with our lobbying firm? pm me if you can post on public forum..
    but we need answers....this leadership is going nowhere now......

    Go_guy when did you come to US, When did you go to Canada (Toronto).Which job are you doing now in Toronto?

    I first came in 1999 Fall as MS student. Then in between, I went back to India during the 2002 downturn and then came back in 2005. I did my MBA finance at U of T and now
    working as Analyst since my second year ( due to F1 visa restrictions I couldn't have
    done that in US). After graduation I am working there but looking for better options as well.

    I came as PR in Canada. But i look at the international students from India in U of T. They are far better of than the international students in US. Here they get 3 years work permit
    after graduation and can also work part time while studying. With new rules u get PR quickly after 1st year. Also during the 3 year post degree now they are eligible for the government health care like PR/Citizens. Canadian immigration is now highly tailored toward people
    studying/working in Canada.

    Compared to that, US treats its international students like dogs. If I get the opportunity to relive, one thing that I would not have taken was doing my previous MS in US. Moving to Canada was the smartest decision taken...no regrets.

    Folks,

    If this bill text passes, there will be a backlog center for all our I-140/I-485 petitons. We are limited by 90,000. Has anybody found any new relief for BEC candidates?

    They are allocating supplemental greencard numbers for Z visa holders with a flexible limit and this supplemental allocation will go away once all Z visa holders adjust (end of page 287 and beginning of page 288).

    Like I said, its a combination of the 2 main things, the efficiency of processing and the quota limits. Changing either 1 without the other other probably won't get us far.

    Yes, USCIS IS capable of processing quickly (for example, my own case - but I'd say I was very VERY lucky, rather than an indication of system wide improvements). Remember, my GC was approved whilst my PD was not current, and I am still baffled why this happened. Having talked to many people about it, there is a strong suspicion of "squeaky wheel" helping.

    What I was trying to say was - the perceived improvement in speed in the last quota 1/4 of this year (May- Sept) was NOT because USCIS suddenly streamlined and improved their processing speed. It was because there was a backlog of approved applications just waiting for PDs to move so that visa numbers can be assigned.

    If I am offending anyone who tries to predict on visa bulleting cut-off days, I am sorry for doing so in advance. The agencies involved in this process themselves are out of clue and it is clearly pointed out by ombudsmen himself. I am still puzzled how they derive the cut-off days every month without such statistics? In the past there were numerous statistics regarding the cut-off date prediction and not even came close to what is getting published. This is one department who defy any logic in determining the cut-off dates. I think it is mere waste of time and energy in trying to do so at our end based on my past experience.

    Thanks

    We have discussed a lot about things in this forum. Every person came up different thought, links etc and moreover our goal of adding I-485 in this feb bill.

    After reading all the post mentioned by IV core, it is clear that no one can do anyting about it, there is no lobbyist that can force this to happen

    So our struggle is useless, some may not agree to it because, they say they are pushing and trying to make voice that can be heard by the congress.

    Congress did not listen to those million illegals on what grounds we expect our voice to be heard.

    I say it again, our struggle is useless. When they wish then only something might happen.

    ASTA LA VISTA

    This is for the ones who think that the discrimination based on EB3 or Eb2 is a bigger issue! I would not get into the discussion on why I think that IV is not just about EB2. Also, on our forums it's about reality and not empathy, which everyone should understand.

    Now having said that, please direct your energy towards elimination of country limits rather than fighting a fight which was in your past. Why your company put you in EB3 and not EB2 is not something USCIS or US can control anyways. But when you are EB2 or EB3 with same qualification, experience and expertise compared to someone from say Europe, Australia and many other countries but China, India, Mexico and Philippines than why should that other person get it before you do when you applied before him???? What is America getting anything different from this other person?

    Now talking about diversity for country limits India is more diverse than any other country in the world! And hey, most of them are already here in the country and waiting in queue, how is this helping the diversity?

    What is use of that? At the year end all remaining numbers will come back to India and China. This year they got 9000 numbers all the numbers went in EB2 group. There is no advantages for EB3I. All you can achieve is pulling down the EB3 ROW by years to achieve may be 2 months advancement for EB3I. Best way is put the stricter norms for EB2 avoid the people misusing the EB2. So that these number will flow to EB3 like how the EB2 is getting numbers from EB1.

    I have had this query before. I had an H1B stamping on my passport for a company I never worked for. (Company A)

    But, when I applied for a H1B for a different company (Company B). My lawyer asked me if I ever worked for them and received any salary from them ... this was a RFE on my H1B case.

    All I did was replied to my lawyer with a negative answer to both questions (worked, salary for Company A).

    I got my new H1B approval I guess within 30 days of that RFE reply.

    You might want to contact a lawyer to draft a reply to USCIS though. I do not have a copy of the letter to provide to you ... Sorry!

    Thanks, randomness, for the response.

    Well, it is all politics. All they can see right now is 12 million ill-legal people who will some day vote for some party. That is a big and growing vote bank which they can not ignore. Who cares for people like us? NO ONE. We are less than 0.5 million, most will probably never show to vote if granted citizenship. No one gives a dam for taxes we pay etc. The only chance that we could have is with the big corporations, but they too are quite for now. Jobs will simply move to other parts of the world.

    Current generation of politicians here simply do not have the foresight. Reminds me of back home where politicians use to give out blankets to the poor before the elections to win votes.

    May be it is the best for us that this bill has stalled, may be IV will have better luck next time. Let us all wait and see.

    This "anand" guy is a psuedonym for a Kim Berry crony for all we know.Old timers will notice that his distracting messages bear a striking resemblance to the folks who attacked IV core on the day of their CIR success. Such folks are not worthy of a personal response from IV core members - their time is too valuable for that. Hell, Roy Beck and Lou Foulmouth don't care to respond to our emails, do they ?

    I am in a lot of stress. Please help out if possible.

    Six years on my H1B expire in April 2008. I just got laid off from company A. My last day of work will be May 31st. I have LC and I-140 approved with company A.

    If I join company B starting June, and transfer my H1B to B, can it extend my H1B beyond 6 years based on the approved I-140 I had with company A? If yes, will it be for one year or three years?

    Gurus please help. I will be grateful.

    Thanks


    Hello Chitta:
    Please check the following link from "Immigration.com".
    http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=240313

    As per it, you can get a 3 yr-extension as long as your existing company doesn't revoke your I-140 (and it wouldn't as you are not leaving on your own). So you should be fine. Good-luck for your next job.

    I flew Air France once in 2003. My connecting flight from Paris to Delhi got delayed by 12 hours. When I approached the Air France staff, they told me that since I had an Indian passport, I would have to wait out the entire time in the transit area. Meanwhile, they proceeded to make arrangements for other non-Indian passengers. They even refused to acknowledge my attempts to reason with them, either not replying to me, or replying only in French. I filed a formal complaint afterwards, but never got a reply.

    I have travelled on numerous times since then, but never with Air France. I don't even consider them as an option anymore.

    I am not indian, I am chinese, and I attended the rally in DC. I am so touched by you brave indian people. while I feel such a shame that we only had much less chinese there. Part of the reason is that IV is originally Indian club. We got the message but kind of lack of close organization.

    I explained it to many Chinese I met at the rally that IV is not Indian. Please ask everyone to join IV
    Alterego has a good point too. We need professional lobbist to organize more efficient events (in American way). we do have immigration lawyers association, but I guess they don't really represent us.

    and besides another rally, we need persistent effort on this by a dedicated group of people, even some full time ( hired them, like a real job), to keep their attention, not just one strike.

    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

    Please don't get your hopes up my friend. It's coming back...anything on July 2nd is coming back!

    I am not sure why we are still behind this bill and wasting our money and resources,

    everyone here needs to realize we don't need to sweeping legislative reform to address our concern, all we need few guidelines to impliment current law in more sensible way,

    we simply don't have resources/strenght to address this issue letz not fool ourself anymore and letz put our moeny where mouth is

    I recently sent a letter to the USCIS Director Explaining the problems faced by H4's because the stay in H4 counts towards the H1 time. Just to bring up the matter of Decoupling H1 time and H4 time. May be it was long forgotten in the bureaucracy.

    I couldn't find an email address of the USCIS Director, Not even a full Address.
    I used the address below. It might reach there or come back to me.

    If it reaches there and if I receive a response I will post it.



    Emilio T. Gonz�lez
    Under Secretary of Homeland Security
    Director, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)

    I read, somebody had contacted ombudsman in this issue, but I feel he is powerless. and can only make suggestions.

    Let us hope the decoupling memo will be out... Or better the H4 get allowed to work as the L1s.

    The L1 work permit law was passed in 2001 March. Does anyone has any idea which group lobbied for it?

    Every time it hit Nov 2001, the dates were made unavailable and the cycle started again from early 2001.
    I wonder what is going to happen next month??

    This time it will be different since we already crossed April 2001 which is a significant date in terms of 245(I) cases.

    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.

    A total of 2.5M cases pending (AOS and naturalization), only 1.2M are ready for action.
    For true backlog numbers look here, Ombudsman report, Page 14.
    http://www.ilw.com/immigdaily/news/2007,0619-ombudsman.pdf

    1.3M backlogged cases TOTAL (includes naturalization), out of which more than 800K are retrogresed family-based AOS petitions, and what looks like 30K EB petitions (cannot be approved due to statutory limits). 300K cases in namecheck, maybe 10% of them are EB (EB is about 13% of green cards), so we are having about 60K truly backloged EB cases in March 2007.

    We know that cases that are current and not stuck in FBI checks are being approved farily fast, so my gut feeling is they have maybe 50-80K EB cases in active adjudication. Let's double-check -- out of 1.2 million cases ready for action, about a half is naturalization, and from the other half, ~13% would be EB - yep, 80K (EBs are the easiest to approve because there are no interviews or tests, so the percentage is likely less than 13%).

    So, in March 2007 there were a total of no more than 140K pending cases in I-485 stage of stocessing. Now in June-August EVERYONE who had an approved LC got to apply, and there were ~300K applications, while CIS gave out ~70K green cards, so we would have a total of 370K pending petitions. This estimate is surprisingly close to 13% of the total 2.5M backlog, so I would consider it good.

    Again, I absolutely do not believe there are more than 500K EB1-EB3 cases. There may be another 500K in the 'other worker' category, but this is not what we are talking about here.

    We can argue who is right on the numbers for a long time, The Ombudsman, who quote that they can not say for sure what the numbers are, or the kauffman Report who claim 1.1 million. Even if we go with your number of "no more than 500K" - thats a 3 year wait if there are no more country caps.

    Also from the Ombudsman:-
    "In FY 06, over 10,000 employment-based visas were lost, even though USCIS had an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 pending applications for employment-based green cards." - Pending applications for employment-based green cards means "application approved pending visa number availability" - ie all but approved - waiting for a visa number, not all 485 applications.

    "As of May 2007, USCIS reported a staggering 329,160 FBI name check cases pending"

    I'm obviously not adding those numbers together, but I really believe that the numbers are larger than we think.

    Remember to take out the visa's unsued each year (per the ombudsman, in the last 3 years, thats only 100k wasted) that brings down the number of visas available, and remember there are other visa paths into greencard application, not just H1B.

    They also think there are roughly about 170K at BEC... that haven't hit yet. Add that to the number - all with old PD so you better believe their dates will come current sooner.

    If you've read the Ombudsman's report, you should have figured out that things are NOT moving quickly

    I've just realized, are you looking at just 485 numbers and not everyone in the EB GC queue?

    Finally - if you've read the Ombudsman report from the past few years, they will look very similar to this years' one (although they gradually get more and more bleak). Nothing has change to make the situation better, so the expectation that all of a sudden things will get fast now still baffles me.

    Those who are just watching others call, please make the call. 200 is nothing.

    If you are from Austin or SA, make that call now. It does not take more than 2 minutes.

    We have meetings with Rep Smith's office(s) and all your calls will make an impact on the outcome.
