I am also stuck on PERM appeal. I applied for appeal in Sep 2006 and still haven't heard anything from Atlanta
Perm was applied for Senior Financial Analyst (EB2)
Thanks hellomms for starting this thread and for your effort
Perm applied 08/07/2006 (EB2 Senior Financial Analyst)
Perm denied 08/11/2006
Appeal filed on 09/07/2006
still waiting to hear from Atlanta
hellomms Could you gather all such people who are facing this issue and want to join the effort to fix it, at a single place on an IV thread. Once we have a sizable number of people to take initiative this effort can be successful. It is difficult to divert attention and resources for a single person. Each immigration issue that our community faces is important to the person suffering from it. IV is a place where people can get together and do something about fixing it.

One of my relative has strange issue.While renewing H1b they forgot to renew H4( more than 6 months back). PD became current. Their lawyer is telling that she has to apply for h4(by giving explanation) before applying I485, If H4 extension is rejected because of overstay then they have to go back to India and if H4 extension is approved then they can file I 485. Did anyone faced the similar issue? Any suggestions?

We need about 000 members signing up for the monthly contributions in a month. I am sure we can do that. We have 8000 members and it should be easy. Till now we have only 100 signups
Simple arithmetic shows that 1000 * 20 = 500 * 40 = 400 * 50 = 200 * 100 = 100 * 200.
Pleeeeeeeeease think very carefully about the need of the moment.

Now that the House and Senate have adopted different versions of immigration legislation, textbook explanations of lawmaking suggest the bill's fate rests in the hands of a conference committee. Congress uses these temporary bicameral panels � which some call the "Third House" of Congress � to resolve differences in competing versions of legislation.
But lawmakers often find exceptions to textbook explanations and immigration reform provides a case in point. True, most predict contentious House-Senate negotiations on the issue. But "where" and "when" are key questions. Creation of a conference committee will be more an indication that a deal is done than a forum to find one. In other words, lawmakers may not even officially create a bicameral negotiating panel until they have found a clear path toward a workable compromise � a process that may take weeks of private, informal discussions before conferees ever formally meet.
Conference committees are not mandatory. They offer one way to resolve differences between chambers, but there is no requirement that lawmakers even use this procedure. According to Walter Oleszek at the CongressionalResearch Service, only 15 to 25 percent of all laws passed by Congress ever reach the conference-committee stage. Lawmakers normally resolve differences either by one house adopting the other's version or by "ping-ponging" measures back and forth until substantive disagreements are ironed out. Conference committees are never formed in either of those cases.
However, Mr. Oleszek also notes that most controversial bills that become law do go through the House-Senate conference process. Immigration definitely clears the divisiveness threshold. But sending a politically charged bill to a formal conference immediately and hoping differences get resolved there is not a tactic preferred by the GOP leadership.
When lawmakers do decide to form a formal conference committee, its procedures are exercised in congressional discretion with only a few set rules and precedents. The House and Senate each choose members drawn heavily from the committees that authored the legislation. In the Senate, the presiding officer appoints from a list developed by the chair and ranking member of the committee that passed the bill. In the House, the speaker appoints all conferees and sometimes draws in members of the leadership. Each house has one vote on issues under consideration in the conference; therefore there is a "House position" and a "Senate position" on any provision in disagreement. Each chamber develops positions based on a majority vote of conferees from that body.
Neither chamber is under any obligation to respond to a request for a conference. And sometimes the bulk of negotiations occur in a pre-conference informal setting. House leaders are averse to sending major legislation to a formal conference with the prospects of long, drawn-out deliberations. For one thing, after a bill goes to conference and there is no resolution in 20 calendar and 10 legislative days, any member of the House can offer non-binding motions on a daily basis, which often subjects the body to tedious, sometimes politically embarrassing votes that eat up valuable time.
Democrat obstructionism in the Senate may also stall efforts to convene a conference. Since losing the majority after the 2002 election, Democrats have made the historically routine process of going to conference (which is normally done through unanimous consent) a procedural jungle. On the immigration measure, Democrats insisted on the unusual step of a pre-agreed ratio of conferees (26 senators total � 14 Republicans and 12 Democrats) before entering into a unanimous consent agreement to finish the bill. Also, because the Senate bill contains a revenue provision, it is subject to a so-called "blue slip," which means it could be automatically rejected by the House. (The Origination Clause of the Constitution requires all revenue measures to begin in the House. A Senate bill containing revenue provisions is sent back with a resolution printed on blue paper, hence the name.) Democrats then objected earlier this week to efforts to attach the Senate immigration bill to a House-passed revenue bill, which would have fixed the problem.
And when it comes to national issues like immigration, the White House also becomes a big investor in this legislative real estate. Thus, the real "conference committee" on immigration reform will take place informally between the White House and a handful of congressional leaders. If these lawmakers see a compromise that can garner strong support among Republicans in the House and Senate, a formal conference will be appointed.
If this path can't be found, it's unlikely lawmakers will ever formally set foot into a conference committee to orchestrate a compromise � in public or private.

DOL PROMULGATES NEW LABOR CERTIFICATION RULES
Posted on:5/31/2007
By Attorneys Robert L. Reeves and Elsie H. Arias
Addressing concerns about fraud and abuse of the labor certification system, the Department of Labor (DOL) recently announced new regulations regarding labor certifications, including ending employers' ability to substitute alien beneficiaries, imposing a 180-day validity period of labor certifications, and regulating the payment of attorney fees associated with the filing of labor certifications. These rules will take effect on July 16, 2007.
As we have previously discussed in this column, the labor certification process is necessary for alien workers to gain lawful permanent residence through an employer for most occupations. Before the Department of Homeland Security - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may approve employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the DOL must first certify to the USCIS that: (1) there are not sufficient U.S. workers, who are able, willing, qualified, and available at the time of the application for a visa and admission into the U.S. and at the place where the alien is to perform the work; and (2) the employment of the alien will not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of similarly employed U.S. workers.
One major change in the adjudication of labor certifications is the substitution of a beneficiary. Although not codified in law or regulation, the USCIS and DOL permits the substitution of new beneficiaries for pending or approved labor certifications to accommodate employers and their labor needs. Unfortunately, the DOL claimed that some unscrupulous lawyers and employers sold labor certifications to foreign nationals not originally identified as the beneficiary and where a bona fide job opportunity did not exist. To prevent this type of abuse in the labor certification system, the DOL will prohibit the substitution of alien beneficiaries on the rule's effective date. Previously-approved substitutions and requests for substitution! s made p rior to July 16, 2007, will remain valid.
In its new rule, the DOL will also impose a 180-day validity period for approved labor certifications. Labor certifications are presently valid for an indefinite time, but after July 16, 2007, employers must file the I-140 immigrant visa petitions with the USCIS within 180 days of the labor certification approval. Immigrant visa petitions filed after 180 days of a labor certification's approval will be denied because the labor certification will no longer be considered valid. Labor certifications approved before the rule's effective date of July 16, 2007, will also be subject to the 180-day deadline, i.e., employers will need to file I-140 visa petitions based on these prior labor certifications prior to January 12, 2008.
The DOL also clarifies in its impending rule that the barter, purchase, and sale of labor certifications is prohibited, and sets forth the ramifications for employers or attorneys engaged in this unlawful conduct, including suspension, criminal indictment, and disbarment.
The most controversial part of the DOL's new rule concerns the payment of costs and attorney fees associated with filing labor certifications. The regulations are presently silent as to whether employer or employee should bear these costs, but the new rule clearly delineates each party's financial obligations. Effective July 16, 2007, attorneys representing both the employer and alien worker in a labor certification must be paid directly by the employer for legal fees associated with preparing the application and representation before the DOL. Employers will also be responsible for paying for advertisements and related costs, which the DOL believes will help safeguard the integrity of the labor certification process. These costs cannot be transferred to or shared with the alien worker. Should the foreign national retain an attorney to represent him in the labor certification process, and this attorney will not also be representing the employer, ! the fore ign national will be allowed to pay fees directly to the attorney. This particular rule may be challenged by various immigration attorneys through litigation for interfering with contractual relationships between an attorney and a client.
Obtaining a labor certification from the DOL entails complex issues legally and procedurally for both the employer and foreign national seeking resident status. Employers and individuals seeking legal representation in these matters should consult experienced immigration counsel.

You are able to walk/ run even if you cannot raise the full amount.
$300 and $500 are targets we set for people to work towards but you can still walk/ run if you cannot raise the full amount. Also, we are suggesting your target amount to be raised over a period of one year and we will be giving out tips for fundraising. The target amounts we set are very nominal and it is fun to raise funds as part of a walking/ running team. I have helped some friends and cousins raise funds for Extrahands, Susan Comen Foundation etc. and it is so much fun and a lot of quality time spent with family, freinds etc. A lot of organizations have mandatory fund raising goals. They set targets like 3500$ to 6000$ and if you cannot raise that amount your credit card will get hit with the balance. However we kept Team IV's fundraising to be voluntary just inline with our organization's goals.
I have already got my Aunt and two of my friends to sign up for Team IV so far. We are going to train together at least once a week and we will organize a fund raising party and contribute all the proceeds to IV.
I am sure you will have lot of fun with this.
So this $300/$500 collection target is something to work towards, but once I am in the team, I get to run/walk even if I am unable to raise the full amount, right?

Wendall,
All she said was that I will be hearing from them within 60 days. When I tried to ask more questions she said "Sir, I told you 60 days, consider that a very good answer". She would not say any more. Maybe she saw that it was already approved but probably they are not allowed to tell that to us over the phone till we get the approval email and said that in a cryptic way.
Lasantha,
When you called TSC prior to your GC approval, what did the IO at TSC tell you?
I'm asking because I know your RD was June 2007, when I called TSC today they told me that they have not got to my I-485 application because they are currently working on I-485 applications with RDs of April 2007 and my RD is June 2007 like yours.
Thanks!

You have rasied very valid point and Canada credit 50% of the time before getting PR there. But I don't think this is so easy to get due to chain migration fear.

Hi IV'ers,
Today IV is a 10000 member organization!
Thank you everyone who participated in the campaign!
Three important next steps:
1. Let us all (every member), start and continue working on the IV action items such as "Meet your Lawmakers", "Call Lawmakers", etc. If we can do these now, we will definitely be able to influence the upcoming votes in the House and Senate on the immigration bills. And these bills are coming pretty soon (in a matter of weeks). So now is the time to act!
2. Let us all contribute as much as possible now. OUr donations will help IV in its lobbying effort. The more financially strong IV is, the better it can work support on the hill.
3. Last but not the least, we cannot stop at 10000. The stronger our numbers are, the more effective we can be (both in campaigns, as well as financially). So I am upping the target here. Please help introduce ONE member to IV by the end of April. If everyone of us added just ONE member by end of April 2007, we would be a 20000 member strong team.
20000 might look daunting, but's it's really not every individual just took care of his one member.
ADD ONE MEMBER BY APRIL 30, 2007!
Thank you.
Thanks Neelu, Pappu, Maccaca, all others that drove this campaign to finish at 10,000. The goal is to really get all these 10,000 members to be involved and be active. Yes we can easily be 20,000, since the ball already is rolling and we can see the snowball effect.
CONGRAJULATIONS!!. Proud of this team. We can do wonders because we are together and working on a common goal.

First of let me tell you life is not fair. All BEC people everyone in this forum empathizes with you esp me since my husband is also a victm, even if they say u should have filed in PERM. I know for a lot of folks this was not a choice for you to make sometimes it is the company, lawyer, ur job situation that is the determining factor. So, please hang in there and contribute without bad mouthing IV. Maybe some of you should become a part of the core and fight for ur rights. The reason I say life is not fair bc people like my husband and I we are not in IT or work for IT consulting companies yet this whole backlog is created bc of that particular industry and abuses to the H1B system and we still suffer. Also, what happens when u work for huge companies that usually don't hire h1b but once they made the step they don't want to loose you since you are an investment for them and hence the wait 5 years to file ur GC. Again life is not fair when the business needs you to move to a different position, or downsizes and you have to start from scratch all over again. Both my husband and I are here for 10 years and are on our 8th year of H1 and this is the first time for me to file 485 with 2006 PD and his labor still has to be filed yet again in Perm. My point life is not fair but you cannot blame others. Very few people are lucky and get GC in a year or year half. If you look most people had some struggle some worse than others. Just be grateful that someone is ready to atleast listen to you and help you fight this long battle.

We took both of them to the doctor and the doctors treatment some how is working for only one... even if u change the doctor same thing..
Be it EB2 India or EB3 India or EB2 China or any other category. All of us are suffering. Some of us more than others.
But... as much as you like it their will not be a EB3-I only bill or admin fix.
Only thing which will fix the issue is EB reforms (more visa, elimination of country limits, STEM expemtions etc) which IV is fighting for.
IV is not your partent. All of us combined make IV. If you are affected more then show by acting accordingly.
Lobby now, meet your representatives now so that come March next year when CIR may be discussed our provisions are not only included but also have a solid backing.
If we do not do our share or work now, we will be disappointed when CIR or any other immi bill come up.
Show your commitment by contributing to IV. Meet law makers.

Big movement usually comes in June (last quarter of the fiscal year) because DOS is not good in statistics (they are hiring US citizens...just kidding, no offense meant) and only that time it realizes that there are more visas to give. And then suddenly some big VB movements (i think DOS should hire us instead as statistician....i can make accurate VB...lol).
But I believe for FY2008, big movement will come on April (DOS doesn't like a repeat of the July VB fiasco).
