Is there a way out... (Mandwaali nahee ho sakti) any compromise in this compromise immigration bill.
Or
We forget the who CIR thing and plan for something else.
There are uglier things than sausages being made. For example, when Bernie Sanders gave a 30 minute speech to increase H1B fees and make H1B program useless, he brought a big chart and the whole enchilada to try to prove that H1B depresses wages.
However, in the starting part of his speech, he said he supports the bill.
The bill brings in 200,000 guest-workers each year (it was 400,000 before Bingaman amendment). However, according to him, that is just fine. When guest-workers come to US in numbers like 200,000 then they dont depress wages of the lowest income group in America. However, when hi-tech workers come here they depress wages.
This is the kind of logic from people like Bernie Sanders and Co. that is uglier than watching sausages being made. Watching sausages being made might hurt your eyes, but this kind of logic hurts your head and can damage your brain's neurons.

People were very happy with the last USCIS announcement but we all forgot about pain of people who are stuck in years of backlog. Though some of those unfortunate may have used harsh or improper language, but they had all the right to express their feelings. We all talk about Gandhian philosophy, but we need to be more tolerant. Before we ask to ban anyone from our forum, please try to put yourself in their shoes.
Our fight is far from over, we should all fight for for in-justice made to people who are trapped in the bureaucracy.
banning people is not the solution to the problem...live and let live...reasonbly

I think if USCIS start publishing the number of applications (based on PD of course) pending for each month, then we can predict our future and life will be much easier.
We are not asking for too much and I think IV can make it happen fairly easily.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Why do you try and find an excuse to do less? IV never said stop sending once we get to 10000... or 20000.... We should try and get AS MANY LETTERS AS POSSIBLE. Aim high my friends.
U got me wrong ,my dear needhelp.I dont need an excuse .What i am doing or have done is not becos of compulsion from anyone.U say as if u have paid me to do.Whatever every one is doing is to fight a common issue.BTB i have clearly mentioned that i will be gettig involved in anymeasures endorsed by the core,meaning i wont like to involve in demands by any passer by henceforth to send this send that etc etc.A simple issue is during the omnibus campign someone asked me for my name address and other details.Now he wanted my phone number to talk to.I mentioned to him to give his that i can speak to him.For that he is not interested.If this guy such a coward to even discuss his identity the why the heck does he campign for million letters and demand others identity.
But my point here was if we want to wait for million siggies for the core to get involved as mentioned by D2K,then it is not worth sending letters.I might get my GC with a PD july 2007 before we collect 1 million letters even with the current pace of USICIS.We find it difficult to get 1000 letters then u discuss about 1 million.Ok assume we sent 1 million letters.Is Bush going to have it safe and file all those papers and have that for discussion.By the time we collect 1 million letters we are increasing the Govtmnts expenditure in removing thrash from Bush's office.
Try to be realistic.Thats all my point is.
Earlier the dates were Feb 9th.I have been thinking that with those collected we/core is about to start a discussion with DC based on that .Now you say march .No one is stopping anyone from writing letters,but why cant we initiate discussion in parallel instead of waiting for 1 million number.I dont mind accompanying to DC is i have been informed atleast 15 days ahead. :)

I am EB-3 ROW PD 2007 Aug. Reading all the Eb-3 I people's angry, I started to wonder what's gonna happen to the EB-3 ROW. Seems like if lots of Eb3-I change to EB2-I , They will probably eat up all the Spillover from Eb1, EB2 ROW from now on. That makes EB-3 ROW and EB-3 I become the same boat.
Is it what gonna happened? and think about how many people can afford to spend an extra 10k to change the status from EB-3 to EB-2? That's totally not fair. We need to take action all EB-3 ers!!!!!!
danny,
i do not think its' quite that bad for EB3 ROW. the spillover system now in use is what USCIS was already doing till 2005. only in 2006 did the vertical spillover have any impact, since 2007 numbers were skewed by July. so things really have not changed that much for EB3 ROW. they will still get the large bulk of EB3 GC numbers, while retrogressed nations are limited to 7%.
also i do not think every future filing can be EB2. as it is USCIS a DOL appear to have tightened their scrutiny and narrowed their interpretation for both EB1 and EB2 approvals.
you are right of course that we must do something that helps everyone. recapture asap and then getting GC numbers increased (whether an absolute increase or exemptions) is the only solution.

First congrats to everybody here able to benefit from this great news. For the rest of the road still loooooooong to go. I'm just starting my labor certification process this month and I'm very new to this whole greencard process. Is there any advice I can have to expedite my application before retrogression hits again. Hopefully it will be a little while before CIS brings us to reality of life. Any help to a poor man will be greatly appreciated.

I had my H1b till Nov 16, 2010 with Company1
Company2 applied for H1b transfer and it was approved as of Nov 08, 2010 ( but we didn't get any notification about it it's approval until few weeks later)
Company1 filed for H1b extension on Nov 10, 2010
I properly resigned Company1 on Nov 30, 2010 and started working with Company2 on Dec 1, 2010
Somehow Company1 didn't terminate my H1b extension and it got approved as of Jan 18, 2011.
1) Which status am I in? What decides my status?
2) Can I continue working for Company2 without any problems? Has this new approval put my transfer in jeopardy?
3) Do I need to update Company2 about Company1's extension approval?
4) Do I need to leave the Country to do any stamping?
Please help!!

h4hopeful, I am sorry to reply late. EAD lets you work. you can get EAD when your H4 spouse applies the I-485 (third stage of GC), he can also apply I-765 which will get you also an EAD along with your spouse. In order to apply for I-485 the visa numbers should be current for your spouse's priority date (Date on which your spouse's company initiated the GC process filing Labor Certification). Currently for India and CHina the dates are heavilyt backlogged. ImmigrationVoice is making our voices heard in the congress so we may get some relief. But we can only be hopeful about this, for an infinite period of time. We cannot help other than saying sorry to each other.

GC Seeker 2002 I know how if feels to be in status quo for 9-10 years. I will complete my 9 years at the end of this month.
I want to share the fact that if we channel our negative energy into something positive it helps relieve stress and at the end of the day you earn and learn something.
It does not have to be studies, for me it is studies and golf. In fact I have gotten to be good at golf too. And one of my dreams is to play on PGA tour. Well why not!!! Some of the greatest inventions have been in serendipity. Microwave, correll ware etc. You may find something too. Take Azim Premji's example. Think of of it as some greater force that is directing you to see something in front of you and is phenomenal.
Also remember that you find the lost objects only when you are not looking for them!!

Most of the responses from the senator/congress members or even conversation refers undocumented immigrants, safe/secure borders etc.

Funny - that's actually the most unrelated post on this thread :-)
I'm still trying to find out if people who are current and had submitted their I-485 a few months ago are in the same boat - i.e. they are also on hold until October 1st, or are they part of the 60,000.

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.
Great initiative setting up your state chapter! Thanks, and good luck!
Now, recapturing wasted visa numbers is (IMO) obviously on the agenda. However, as you know almost everything has to happen via a change in the legislation. This is doable, but will require months, if not years, of careful planning and execution. That is why the need to strengthen the organization at the grass roots level.
Appreciate your post, thanks!

The reason H4's are ignored, is that 90% of them are woman. Most H1b Contractors come from third world countries. And most men would like to see their wives as housewives only. Also woman are less aware of socio-political issues. When they understand, they can't work on H4 visa, they just accept it as their fate. they never ask for more .
Unless the women on H4 starts to speak up and spread the awareness of H4 issues, getting work permit for H4 will always remain a dream. even though few woman activists are trying to lobby for it. We have educate the Congressmen that Woman on H4 needs to have Work authorization. It is not a privilege. It should be a right. I think ImmigrationVoice should put H4 Work Authorization in their agenda.
