IV is basically saying EB3 folks stop all initiatives. Rather convert to EB2. It's comfortable to say IV core and decisionmakers are composed of EB2 folks.
you must know something i don't.
aman kapoor is the president and founder of iv- of course you can argue he now has his GC but that fact is he is still the heart and soul of iv and runs the organization on a day to day basis. he is EB3.
the "core group" does not much exist in practical terms right now. there is instead a large "leaders group" that helps coordinate actions and strategy.
this group has a lot of active members- and i find it "comfortable" to say that the majority are EB3. which may actually count for something- since i actually do know somethings you don't :-)
no one stops anyone from doing anything. but whatever you do (and yes you actually have to DO, not just keep talking), has to have a sound basis. Many of the suggestions put forward have flaws, and actually papu and others have been pretty helpful in politely helping to point those out and suggesting changes. of course reddog took objection even to that! incidentally, just for the record, you may want to look at pappu's profile . HE IS EB3!
so what do you want anyway? should we go tell USCIS that leftover Gc from EB2 ROW should go to EB3 ROW instead of EB2 I/C? what about the 28.6% that should belong to EB2? and since you are EB3 I- how does this help you in any way? or should we tell them to stop the preference catogories in INA and make EB1=EB2=Eb3? somehow i do not think that is going to fly.
where were you when USCIS implemented vertical spillover in 2006 and left EB2 I in a U state while giving EB2 Gc numbers to EB3 ROW?
did you object then? did you start a campaign? did EB2 I folks here start saying that iv did not care about them?
in 2007 ordinarily, (like 06) EB2 I and EB3 I would have got only 2,800 GC each. because of iv's efforts in reversing the july bulletin, EB3 I got a huge number of Gc instead. many more than any other category. i don't remember anyone else standing up and saying that this was unfair and that iv is all about EB3I. and that's what a lot of anti iv folks say. that iv is all about EB3 India. so this is very ironical.
and i see here a comment that every campaign has been bad for EB3 india.
i guess july reversal was bad. i guess the campaign for recapture is bad. and the 2 year EAD is bad too. not to mention the gathering support to end country quotas.
you opened my eyes :-)

Does the SKIL bill only needs to pass in the House? Since it is already in the CIR , does it mean it has already passed in the senate? How is it going to work?

Called Rep. Lamar Smiths office, They took down the bill numbers and my message. They did mentioned that the bill is in the Jud committee and I need to call the Jud Committee chair, but I did mention that Rep. Lamar Smith's support would be key to solving the backlog issue in the EB GC process.

Gautamagg (Gautam Aggrwal) is Columban. Columban is praising Gautamagg but they are both the same person : Gautam Aggarwal.
Gautam: If you have difference with Immigration Voice's position in opposing the merits based system that gives 21 points being illegal and 20 points for having MBA or MD, then you are entitled to have that opinion, but dont peddle your agenda on this site and find another website or forum to advocate in favor of merits based points system.
Merits based point system awards supplemental points for illegals. Being illegal is not an accomplishment. Having an MBA or MD is. The two cannot be awarded merits on the same scale.
Merits based point system works well in countries that dont have annual caps. Like Canada. Their objective in Canada is to fill the country with younger working population in order to balance to demograph that is headed to an aging population. USA is not like that and having points system in conjunction with numerical caps will cause greencard to go to paper-tiger resumes that have lots of points but not employable. There are millions of Ph.Ds in Science in India and China and they would not be employable here but would get GCs. Just like Canada, we would have greencard holders with Ph.Ds and MBBS driving cabs. Employability has nothing to do with papers that prove how many years you spend on colleges accumalating degrees.
A bachelor's degree from Harvard and a Bachelor's degree from Rutgers would get same points : 16 points. Is that really a measure of merits?
But again, if you feel that point system is great, issue press release on your own and peddle your agenda on your own but dont use this site to peddle that agenda. You are free to discuss with other members but dont issue press release and dont speak to the media on behalf of IV. Speak to the media as an individual.
Also, if you feel that IV is run by non-US educated consultants and the US educated employees are not represented or served by Immigration Voice, then please start your own organization to represent them and I will be happy to point the dissatisfied US educated members in your direction. For once, I would love to share the burden with others and if we have 2 organizations instead of one, atleast we can share the work load. So please, do start your website, your organization, your advocacy etc and take away members from us who are dissatisfied with IV and who feel that US educated folks need more representation and your organization could potentially provide that.
The position of immigration voice on points system is very clear and it will stay that way.
Besides the points system, you should look at other aspects of the bill. Being US educated from top University, I am sure you will have no trouble in interpreting title 4 and title 5 of the bill. They are striking down AC21 provisions that provide extensions of H1 after 6 years based on pending labor for 1 one year or pending 140. And they are replacing it with pending immigration petition for 1 year as requirement for H1 extension. What that means is that there will be extensions granted to only those who have filed for 140 before May 21. After that, the 140s filed or approved would be invalid and they would have to wait for points system. And points system doesnt kick in until Oct 1 2008. So during the 1 year blackout period, between the President signing the bill and Oct 1 2008, there will be no immigration petitions filed. Old system will stop accepting 140 and new system (your favorite merits system) wont kick until Oct 2008. Combine that with removal of AC21 provisions for extensions of H1. There are tens of thousands who will be unable to extend their H1. These are the folks who are either in backlog centers or who have filed PERM but not filed 140 as of May 21 2007. Can you imagine the catastrophe? Go thru title 4 and title 5 and see the sections of INA it is amending.

Indebted to our employers for anything or in any form. We work and get paid for it - it's an even exchange, imo.
How long will it take them to lay you off tomorrow morning (or Monday morning or on X'mas/Diwali eve for that matter) if they didn't need you?
And vacation time, if part of the employment package, is a legal obligation of the employer - you can hold their feet to the fire for that and if you end up not taking any vacation you are entitled to compensation for the extra time worked when you leave.
These are the lines of thought that should prompt one to join IV and be involved with it .
jazz
Having time off with my boss is traumatic to say the least. I am entitled to seven weeks vacation a year and barely get three most of the time. Even when I am off I get phone calls and have to leave contact numbers, that includes when I am with my parents in England.
Can you imagine asking for two days off to go to an immigration rally that just reminds him that I will be out of his employment jail some time in the not too distant future I hope.
My green card process is in its sixth year. Look forward to shaking off my shackles and moving on with life. Glad to say my husband now has an EAD so at least he is free to work and join the human race again.
I am sure many people are in this sort of situation since we are indebted to our employers which is one of the things we would like to change.

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.
If there was much advice we could give about expediting the process, there would be very few people on this board, unfortunately!
Even those who are just eligible to file for the last stage, its likely to take years longer on average.
Other than suggesting you win a Nobel prize, win an Olympic gold medal, or select the country of your birth, there is little feasible that I can say.
The good news is, things could move a lot faster than those of us that are or were stuck in the Backlog Elimination Centers.
Oh - and those talking about the reintroduction of CIR - remember, it also was taking out pretty much all AC21 provisions which will still affect people on EAD

My advanced parole is good till October 2, 2009. I have been in and out US 2 times, spent 2 months abroad doing finals in college. Am going to intern abroad, until October 28th.
Q1: What is the best date to reenter the US and renew advanced parole? Do I need to be in the US to renew AP?
Q2: How long do I need to stay in US after sending in my renewal? Do I need to wait the 3 months to get the new parole?
Thank you
AP renewal took only 2 weeks, and actually the approval date is only one week from date of receipt notice, i actually lost about a month from my previous approval. This is at NSC

Dont be surprised at the next VB or theone for October where EB2 india moves back to Apr 2004 ....DOS can always surprise you, as we have learned repeatedly, all calculations/bets are off when it comes to DOS.
That's Why I don't trust USCIS/DOS. We better work on legislative changes, that's the hope to fix this mess

I also came with Fragomen filing my H1B case with one of below mentioned US company in ERP, and they started my GC only after 2.5 years of service with them. 2 Years was the norm, but another 6 months will pass to get the experience letters from previous companies with the exact format and tools they want etc...Finally filed in 2008 jan, but after the filing, it has been smooth for the labour, 140 so far...
HP, Cisco, TCS, Deloitte, IBM, SAP, ORCL....I am going to add one more so called big firm BEARINGPOINT (formerly known as KPMG consulting).
I know that Fragomen specifically guides and runs the visa/GC related matters of Bearingpoint. They charge 10,000 dollars for a GC case and give clear cut instrucation to Bearingpoint that do not file GC till the very last moment. I left Bearingpoint (16000+ employees and offices in 43 countries...sounds great doesn't it?) because of my immigration issues caused by Fragomen. I joined a desi consulting company with 2 employess. This desi company manager took my GC file in his hand, drove to attorney office and asked him to file it ASAP. No waiting period, no nothing....
Big corporation + Fragomen is a deadly/toxic combination. Stay away from it if you can.
