message from IV
Despite the offensive posts and badmouthing on IV site and other sites we are keeping everyone in mind when working on our lobbying effort. We had posted messages in the past about this too. IV does not advice any flower campaign etc without consulting with us. Any wrong move can potentially hurt the interest of this community and the advocacy work we are doing. Please stop posting offensive messages and stop fighting with other members of the community.

=========================
Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.

Aha! just found out about the H2A Visa, which was what was exactly needed for labour and agriculture and already exists. This visa is very much like a H1b in protecting wages of american labourers, and exists for immigrants from Mexico.
Thank you attorney Greg Siskind for the information.
But no they want Citizenship directly and dont want to go through the hassle of Visa, when its easier to cross the border with no background check. The H-2A mandated they compete with American citizens for the job.
They have shown that they choose to break laws when there was a legal option available. Someone mentioned earlier that they have no options.
The H2A ensures only quality labourers and agriculture workers are hired, instead of criminals. Well this is one option for a legal path to illegals. If someone cannot qualify for a H-2A, then they probably have something that very negative in their resume.
The employer had to pay only $100 for the application and $10 for each labourer.
Well if an illegal without H-2A is considered for amnesty, I can't believe a H-1B is being completely ignored for all his contributions. Just shows some basic human values, fairness are completely absent.

To whoever left the comment in my profile "why all this love for US Passport?"
It all depends on what country you are a citizen of. If you are a passport holder of a country like Canada,Autralia or most european countries, then you may not see much benefit in holding a US passport when travelling. But people from certain other countries, have to go through the hassle of obtaining visas prior to international travel, vacations etc. Sometimes we even have to get transit visas for countries that we pass through on our way to the final destinations. And these visas cost money. But if you hold a US passport/citizen of the US, then they do not make you jump through all those hoops. You board the plane and you get a visitors visa once you land in almost all countries (there are exceptions, India and Australia for example). But there it is. That is one of the priviledges of having a US passport.

i asked the same question about rejection they said we dont accept any rejections and we will file MTR, and they dont have any rejections from past 6 years
one of my friend in the same company got approval in 3 months that one is not audited
we both filed at the same time atlanta centre he is lucky guy
Yeah, some people are lucky , some are are approved in 60 days(cases without audit) while we are stuck here for months. What is MTR? i Think they have denied a few audit cases, I saw on , i think if i'm not mistaken a certain case has october'07 audit reply and was denied this march '08 . i'm not sure. thanks for replying.:)

Look out for AAPL. Stocks getting clobbred in the after hours as Jobs announced he is taking a medical leave. Also guys in forex watch EUR/GBP.
If I do not see nervousness in the markets then I think tomorrow I am going to buy Oracle, Wal-Mart, Devon and may be Cisco. Expected return by BOB's inauguration 10%.
For Novices - do not buy SMALL Cap and Do not buy stocks < $5 (as suggested by Chintu25)

I started a thread about making meeting with lawmakers a priority this year, just a couple posted about meeting. That shows where we are in terms of advocating for the changes that will benefit us........
Just my thoughts..
Yes. Now compare this with the dream activists. They are not only vocal about what they want. They are not afraid to talk about this in the media/give interviews in the media. They keep the pressure on the lawmakers.

I booked my ticket a month ago but haven't yet figured out accommodation and travel within DC. I'm flying into DC on Sunday, 3rd morning.
Is someone looking to share a hotel room? Alternately, is any DC area member still looking to offer a spare sleeping bag? :)
I don't know how the DC area works but would preferably like to stay closer to the event hotel. If not, I'm open to renting a car and sharing cost to get in/out of DC (heard the traffic is a nightmare though).
Please PM me directly or reply here. I'm joining the conference call tonight as well.

ChrisRock, Raju & other EB3 members must realize as long as members like I_Got_Skillz are here who are lurking just to ruin any EB3 conversation, it is very difficult to come up with a solution.
Also, the idea that an EB2 is more skilled and EB3 is not, is wrong since EB2s are nothing but the same qualification with a few more years of experience and EB3s are the same but who have been misguided by the attorneys when retrogression was never there.
Example, in my case, I have a masters, 7 years of experience before starting my green card app. Currently, I have a total of 15 years of experience as of today working in various domains.
In my opinion if you are looking for a solution which is more radical but practical, it should be in a way where there is a highly skilled category which should be more like EB1 and the rest. I think EB2 should be eliminated and merge both EB3 & EB2 candidates and do a FIFO processing. Isn't this the way most of the countries in rest of the world gave their process?
These are all changes which cannot be done due to politics, but in my opinion is the right approach.
Even some of the IV state chapter leaders etc are people with EB2 apps and they shoot down anything which works to their disadvantages.
It is only the IV Core & a few other members which really care about the backlog irrespective of category.
Please note, I am not naming any state chapter leaders in particular, but I have observed via threads & posts how their line of thoughts are.

I have enjoyed your amusing ranting. Call me anything you like. That will not not solve any problem. I am not a leader but a person of average intelligence capable of understanding the implication of the re-interpretation of the spill over rule on EB2. If you have the time, please read the comments of EB3worker. It would be better if we work unitedly towards visa recapture instead of trying to envy one group. The common goal is working towards Visa recapture. The forum cannot be hijacked by any group EB1/EB2/EB3.

US Senate Committe on Small Business and Enterprenership (http://sbc.senate.gov/record.cfm?id=267960)
Senate Passes Key Funding for Women�s Business Centers
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today the U.S. Senate unanimously passed an amendment sponsored by Senators John Kerry (D-Mass.), Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine), and John Sununu (R-N.H.) to create a grant program for established, successful Women's Business Centers around the country. The provision is now part of the minimum wage legislation being considered on the Senate floor.
"I've been working for 21 years on the Committee to promote expanded entrepreneurial opportunities for women and secure funding for these centers which help turn ideas into jobs, start-ups into success," said Kerry, Chairman of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. "I cannot stress enough the vital role Women's Business Centers play in cities all around the country, like Boston and Worcester. This amendment ensures we will be providing women-owned small businesses the tools they need to grow and flourish."
"We cannot afford to ignore, or minimize, the extraordinary contributions America's business women are making to our economy, our culture, and our future. The achievements of women entrepreneurs are undeniable. Women-owned firms generate almost $2.5 trillion in revenues. They employ more than 19 million workers and are the fastest growing segment of today�s economy. In my home state of Maine alone, more than 63,000 women-owned firms generate an astounding $9 billion in sales," said Snowe. "Today, I am pleased to join Small Business Committee Chairman John Kerry and Senator Sununu with this amendment so women small business owners have the resources, the support and the opportunities they need and deserve."
Senator Sununu said: "Women's Business Centers contribute to the strength and diversity of the small business community, as we know from the great example set by Portsmouth's facility. Centers that have performed at a high level should have the option of applying for additional help to enable their important work to continue. The Senate�s action today marks an important step in the effort to preserve critical funding for WBCs in New Hampshire and across the country."
The amendment is similar to language that passed out of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship last summer as part of S. 3778, the comprehensive Small Business Administration reauthorization bill, which is based on the Women's Business Center Sustainability Pilot Program Kerry created in 1999.
Specifically, the amendment allows established Women's Business Centers to apply for 3-year grants on an ongoing basis. This permanent stream of federal funding is critical to helping the Centers secure matching private funds. This amendment also prohibits the Centers from sharing information about their clients without their consent, unless the information is required by a court order or to do an audit of the center.

My guess is it will take at least a year for EB3 to move beyond 2004.
If you are saying that EB3 would move from 2001 to 2004 this year, then that is what BharatPremi and I were saying. We should be OK with 3 years movement for EB3.
And, guys don't jump on me, if we accept that 3-4 years for GC is acceptable (though I agree that GC in 6 months would be the vision, dream...), then guys who have filed in 2004 should be patient till 2008 and guys who filed in 2006 should wait till 2010.
The only guys who should worry is those with PDs 2001 and 2002. Again, most of them got cleared in Jun, July this year except those who are stuck in name check and LC in BEC.
