Hello All,
i concur with the aspect of filling a lawsuit, as it will create more visibility and put more pressure on congress. As it is congress is under the gun for failing to act on a lot of bills. Even though if it does not create instant results, it will definitely lead to some type of change in coming months. I am sure if we all pitch in 50$ each, we can accumulate good amount of money. Also we can use Murthy Law firm to file a lawsuit. Lets not forget the amount of visibility Murthy law firm is getting from IV. If there is a law suite filed through them, then they also get to share the limelight.
The point here is, we can get a discounted price on the service, also Murthy law firm is aware of our situation. Administrator what do you think?
All EB3 guys, stop complaining about EB2-EB3, it is about EB community. IF EB2 get some direct benefit, then it will be rolled down to EB3 as well. Please let us not discuss issues which separate us. Right now we should focus on unity and creating a mass number of high skilled workers who can SHOW up on rally's.
Thanks

I was watching CSPAN last night and both Senate majority leader and minority leader were talking about what they are planning to do in the next few weeks, Minority leader Senator Mitch McConnell talked about the Omnibus Bill and few other appropriation bills and he was hinting that they are planning on getting some of these done before Christmas. According to him, the congress does not have any other choice but to get these passed ASAP. This is the best time to attach and just ride the wave.
If we are to get anything done about our sorry state, this is it.
We need everyone to contribute.
Don�t think that IV will somehow find the money and do this on behalf of the community.
It is not the reality.
We need members to pitch in.
This is too important to ignore, I am sure if we don�t do anything now we will be regretting about the opportunity we had and how we didn�t do anything. We will not see another opportunity for at least an year.
Now click on the Contribute button and do your part..
I will guarantee you one thing; you will feel good that at least you did what you could instead of waiting on the side lines.

Thanks for sharing the news buddy. You are a great immigrant.
Suggestion to all IV member: I hear Sean Hannity saying, "You are a great American" to the callers who shares his beliefs. I think we should start saying, "You are a great immigrant" to our fellow members who are sharing news or putting in extra efforts to make this organization and our cause a success.

logically speaking lottery will be applied only on the applications that have crossed the limit. for 20000 MS H1 quota assume on April 4 the numbr of applications recieved is 18000 and on April 5 the number of applications recieved is 4000, then lottery will be held for the 4000 applications to determine the 2000 cases. All applications recieved on and after april 6 will be returned.
This is just my logical reasoning.
Pitha,
I totally agree with you. I hope this is what USCIS will do actually.

On my 485 receipt, I have RD as 7/20/07, ND as 9/13/07. But when I check my case online, it has 9/12/07.
I had called TSC yesterday and the rep kept telling 9/12/07 and TSC is processing 8/30/07. I told her I have the original receipt in front of me and it says 7/20/07 and not sure where you are getting 9/12 from. She said "Oh I am sorry, I was looking at the incorrect place". She later gave me a SR # and took all the info. The funny part was she even refused to open a SR telling the date was 9/12.
Not sure whether opening a SR now will help but trying does not hurt and it is FREE !!!! Hopefully the officer looks at my file and then approves it.

Instead of allowing US STEM graduates to get GC based on US job offer it would be beneficial to instead allow US STEM graduates to apply and get H1B without any quota. Tht way they will get into the system and don't need to go back to home country. Giving GC to STEM graduates directly is wrong by law because it bypasses labour and 140 conditions which state that a company is willing to sponser GC for a person based on current market conditions.
Its already there. 20000 for masters and phd students.
Giving GC to stem is to bypass them from EB based line, which means they won't consume numbers from 140k. Isn't this good?

Can someone advice on this.
Currently I am on H1B visa and I will apply my AOS before 17th august as dependent(Secondary applicant).
After applying AOS if I have to leave my job then will I be out of status since I won't be on H1 status and I won't be on H4 ?
Can I leave my job after applying AOS or I have to wait till We get receipts of 485?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot to all members for being with us in this struggle. We have tasted our first big success this year. Credit goes to each and every IV member. We were all affected by the visa bulletin fiasco and this is our victory. This is a victory for all our members and we must rejoice.
IV had worked very hard and had been pushing for this in the background. Our flower campaign, rally and other advocacy efforts all came together and helped us at a crunch time. We thank members that sent flowers and also walked in the San Jose heat for 4 hours. All that really shows our commitment to this cause.
We are happy that our efforts are successful and IV has been able to make a difference. Please also know that during this effort, IV was extremely active and decision makers heard our voice. We cannot give out all the details but what IV members should know is that these efforts should make each one of us proud and what we can do if we have a firm resolve. We were also the first to break this news even before anyone else or media could, and continued to update our members as time passed.
IV also thanks its contributing members and it is because of their contributions we were able to continue this effort. Many thanks to the members that are contributing now after this good news.
Please continue your support for this organization and be an integral member of this ever growing community, so that this journey can continue and we can end retrogression and have immigrationvoice as our voice.

Wanted to find out about the visa options for my wife�she will be coming to the US on an H4 visa�can a company hire her on an L1 or any other kind of visa or does she have to wait for an H1B until the next year quota opens up�She has an MBA Finance degree from Mumbai university & currently working with a multinational bank as a credit analyst�Kindly Respond.
She can get on F1 visa (student) with a full scholarship (since she has an MBA it could be possible) or get an assistantship (that could pay around 2000$ a month depending on where you stay).

since that is important i have replied to you in pm. i wish that everyone could read once and for all but i will hold myself to not posting the reply on this thread.
i believe you still do not understand the system. please read your pm.
paskal, you are making up things here that that priorities are Eb1->Eb2->Eb3
Eb1->Eb2->Eb3 is correct only from education and experience for the Job point of view but not true from Quota point of view all get 33.33per year.
�The argument that Eb1 is preferred/priority above Eb2 and BE2 is preferred/priority over EB3 is absurd.
The regular yearly BE quota is distributed equally among all three categories that means equal priority for all groups. So then why they should not follow the same distribution for the overflow numbers also?
Said that all BE3 applicants who are eligible should port there PD to EB2, simple. When you know how the system works try to adapt to it.�
We filed our CGs when we don�t know the system, we just trusted out attorneys. If we have to do this CG stuff again most of us will do it differently.
"look, i am not trying to pull down EB3 folks in any way form or manner." I will take your work on this. But the message I got from reading your postings is different, hope that is not your intent. I am just letting you know, I am not accusing you, just giving my feedback.
Please dont close this thread because of my post.

What exactly do you mean to do? Throw in your ideas and nothing will be spared...
I was watching TV the other day and saw an infomercial from National Association of Realtors promoting some kind of reform for home finance. They had interesting stats like "Home ownerships contributes ~ 2 trillion USD towards nation economy. So anything that promotes home ownership should help economy come out of recession". I am thinking if we can gather some useful stats around how much NRIs (non-GC holders from US) have invested in Indian Real Estate and how much of that could have been invested here in US (and other numbers like these), and then use them to convince those in power that an expedited GC process for those who want to be a part of main stream US resident population would help US economy.

Six years in US complete
Previous employer cheated by not filing GC
So need to change employer for filing GC
EB-3
I-140 approved with current employer
Not able to file I-485 because of retrogression
Wife not able to work
Moving around for jobs with family
Cheating Employer
Frustation with H1B Extension and stamping
Not able to Plan to go to India because of Interview dates
Not able to plan on good school Child's education
Not able to spend more money on good health insurance
Lot of time and money spent on H1B Extension and stamping
Signing short term lease for Apt's and moving around
Drivers license based on H1B papers
No benefits like 401K etc with small employers
Sick with the current employer
Hey, you just put the entire GC process in a nutshell. I understand a lot of folks are in the same situation, but I think IV is looking for stories that will help us push our case forward. The picture you paint is very morose and depressing (and I sympathizes with you, so please do not get me wrong) and we hope that this whole situation that all of us are in turns out to be a bad nightmare and we wake up to see some hope again.
Ragz4u:
Have you tried contacting post-docs (usually EB1 or EB2 NIW, non-IT folks) at universities pursuing research who are affected by retrogression. I think you can find a lot of people on the IIT forums that float around the web. I am sure we can find really successful(well almost) with sorry stories and restrained in career advancement due to EB retrogression.

The letter actually does not mention all degree requirements have been fulfilled. This left me really upset (I asked the dept to fax it directly to company, so I had not seen it).
It says "XYZ completed all coursework requirements for his PhD in EE at the University ABC, and deposited his thesis on April 11 2007. His degree should then be officially conferred in May 13 2007"
Obviously course + thesis = all degree requirements for PhD, but I wonder if USCIS might question it. The company's attorney (a highly reputable company) okayed the letter and he said denial is unlikely and that they will either approve it or issue an RFE; but based on my readings of other posts I think there is a fair chance that it might be denied.
The irony is that I got a letter from the registrar on April 16, but by that time the attorney had already filed with the weaker letter. I asked him to send the other one when quota was still available but he said it was unnecessary.
Please anyone with similar experience comment.
Well I don't know how it works. If the letter actually goes as a proof to USCIS or it simply stays with the lawyer. I would say, just wait and watch now. USCIS might ask you for more evidence. They would not simply reject it. SO don't lose hope.

Isn’t it odd that the timing of your rally coincides with the introduction of the Strive act?
Granted you scored a point when you were allowed to file for employment authorization this July. If your one rally worked, do you really think other rallies will work too? The world of politics is driven by numbers; you do not have enough numbers to get any lawmaker interested. So wake up Macacas, admit it, you all are bunch of losers.
So far as the skills are concerned, you have been harping on the theme that you are highly skilled? If the definition of highly skilled is a mere undergrad degrees then 75% of Adult Americans are highly skilled. I bet not even 5% of you have PHDs and you call yourself highly skilled. Huhhh
And this for the leadership of your organization: You are wasting your time. If you are so desperate to get green cards contact me. We will see what we can do… One thing I believe though is this country needs people with leadership skills and not so called "Highly Skilled". So I will be more than happy to work with you. I am sure you have my e-mail address. At the least, I can help make the process faster for you, if so called visa numbers are available.
