I think all of us seems to be responding with full force when the core asked to call just one member Rep Lamar Smith..
Earlier when there was a long list of 8 to 10 members, folks takes a time to react and start calling in heavy numbers..
May be in future.. They can just give 2 to 3 reps and focus heavily for 2-3 days and then in second phase , second list targeting 2-3 members more.... and eventually one person gets the task to motivate members on one perticular sets of members and some one else can motivate for anohter list.
..Called Lamar Smith, Republican House Members , Called CHC and Local Representative..
So folks... Why wait when we can swing it and finish it off once for all..
So lets JUST DO IT ( Each and every call will be a steping stone for our future).

I wonder at what point of time this "three years of U.S. work experience" applies from. Is it that you should have 3 yrs exp when you applied for labor or is it when you apply for 485??
would create a quota exemption for certain highly skilled immigrants who have at least three years of U.S. work experience.
That pretty much covers almost all of us in IV

I believe people in the SV have more sense of host, sense of responsibility, and sense of rights, as immigrants are majority here.
Jaime, your thought of having one more rally in Silicon Valley is a good one but again you are going to have the same crowd..!!
People in neighbouring states of DC did not make it , you tthink they will make it all the way to west coast! very doubtful!!
We should aim at bringing in more people to this family as possible..
Looks like a simultaneous rally on a weekend will be very effective!
And this time for the rally we will carry one one slogan banners
'SHORTEN THE WAIT FOR LEGAL IMMIGRANTS' or something similar!
just a thought!

True. That's similar to the Canadian system and that is a good thing.
However, are the opportunities out there ? That's the question.
The US Immigration Law is a nightmare.
Couple of years ago, I migrated to Australia.
The Australian laws are very clean and straight forward. There is only one application form with some very simple question and detailed instructions. Just fill up the form, enclose the necessary documents and fees. That's it. You are done. In due time they will let you know "YES" or "NO".
There is no need to feed fat-belly hungry sharks called "Immigration Attorneys" (of course there are exceptions).
Once your case is approved, you and your family are eligible for the all the rights (except Vioting Power) enjoyed by any Australian Citizen.
Once accepted, there is no official discrimination.
Here the US Government cries about anti-discrimination, human rights etc, but those are only eye-wash. They should take lessons from the Australians.

Did you understand clearly the message from

"Some succeed because they are destined to,
but most succeed because they are determined to......."
450,000 and 15-16 years ???
Does that number make U worried, Challenged ?
why not 30,000 people in DC on historic 18th.
30,000...YES WE CAN! We need to make our strongest effort, our strongest push right now to promote the rally and change minds! There are many of us near DC, and we still have 12 days! Let's GO guys! Let's help change minds! Can we free ourselves from these unfair chains of retrogression and country caps? Together YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!

franklin,
hermione has been very active in helping with battling immigration backlogs in general despite her "oh so close to green card status". she was responsible for one of our better pre rally videos as well. guess we can put it down to not tolerating the whole mess :-)
you can also find her on greg siskind's blog.
hermione: sorry for not replying, been terribly busy these last few days!
we should talk sometime though...
I understand - I took it all as a healthy debate, I certainly didn't intend to offend anyone. Its been one of the most interesting debates I've had in a while. Hermione, I sincerely apologize if any of my posts have been interpretted otherwise.

I am also, stuck in this whole BEC debacle. Mine is Oct 2003 EB3 and still stuck in Labor. And the very fact that the FY 2008 quote availability is very uncertain and we might not be able to apply for I-140/485 for years now makes it even more frustrating.
I am new to this team, so please tell me what I can do anything to help this issue to be raised.

I am one of the victims here. I filed my labor on August 2002 EB2 and it is still waiting in the backlog center In-Process. I (w)hole-heartedly support for this...i guess we should send flowers to backlog centers...

I m a new applicant for EB 3 gc born in india.....just starting my process......with my PD being sometime in later half of 2009,do u think canada is a better option?......EB 3 india right now looks like a good 10-12 years wait time!!.......pls advice about canada immigration and is it a viable option?
No, Canada is not a better option. INDIA!! is a better option. You got to get it out of your mind that you need to go somewhere. It is different in the US because you have some industries and jobs here that you cannot get anywhere else. Also a certian lifestyle. But common Canada, eastern Europe, Africa... you guys are nuts.
India is a MUCH better option than anywhere else except maybe if you get a real good job in China. As far as I am concerned if nothing happens here I am headed back to my hometown-Bangalore, India.
I have much better lifestyle and opportunities than Canada or even western europe! Period.

I think many of us go through these kind of tragedy. One of my friends got laid off last month and his employer did not give him the letter to file I-485. Now he is back to the line where he was way back in 2000. He has to start his whole immigration process all over again. This guy lost job twice just before he could adjust his status. He is in USA from over 10 years now and he holds nothing but a PD of 2002. There is nothing in US Immigration Law to protect folks like him. What a shame to the US Immigration system.
This may happen to many of us, not only on the job front, anywhere down the line, untill we get our Green Card. For example, what if USCIS reject our application at the end moment, or else what if USCIS deny our I-485 for a reason beyond our control; there are tons of reasons, our life is shaky until we get our green cards.
Would that be nice if we ask something to protect us just like AC 21? For several folks, even to get to the stage of AC21 is a big milestone. Is it not the time to ask congress to protect all H1-B holders who play by rules and who are here over 10 years, with something similar to AC21? When they can consider giving green cards for those undocumented who are here since only 2005, what we legals ask for; besides just play by the rules and stand in the line and leave everything at the mercy of the adjudicator?
There should be some protection for those who come under these unforeseen clutches of law, besides fighting for mere retrogression.

I just filed i-485. My pD is Jan 2004
i-140 has been previoulsy approved. I was laid off but my original employer agreed to give me evl, but with the way the economy is going they are not doing well.
I have another employer which I am working now with.
How likely is to get an approval (or an rfe for paystubs?) before 180 days.

Thanks, I am very depressed it took too long I guess and the economy changed and now the whole future of my family is pending

Its not over till its over :), and its not over yet by any means. I am willing to wait and fight ;) . Everyone has priorities in life, each person would view GC situation differently. For me, its not the ultimate dream, but just a vehicle to continue my journey for some more time (with peace of mind). I am definitely looking to gray my hair in my home country or atleast be there once I am grayed haired :D
Doing an MBA/PMI and looking for managerial job is the only realistic possibility for most, I don't think most people would wanna still be programming when they turn 40/45 (depending on how old/young you feel).
My gut feel is that there will be some kind of relief by end of 2007 or early 2008

May be we should try to lobby for a bill with one time relief of Backlog of EB retrogressed.
I feel that once this backlog is reduced, it will be easier for future applicants anyway as H1Bs are reduced to 65000 from last few years.
I request IV core to look into this option as the opposition from anti immigrants would be less for something like this. This has happened once before in yr 2000.

Hi ! My H1B with current employer is valid till March 2010. I got a new job offer and employer is willing to transfer my H1B. I have submitted all the documents.
The attorney of the new employer says, that I can start working with new company once USCIS receives my application. Is it safe? She says Fedex tracking no. is enough. Did any one face this situation? pl.respond. She got instructions from the employer to apply in regular process.How much time it will take to get a receipt no. in regular process?

CONGRESS HAS TO PASS THE BILL. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY FOR US.
President can do ONLY VETO ON ANY BILL OR HE CAN GO TO WAR ON ANY COUNTRY. THATS ALL HE CAN DO.

Hi All,
Thank you for the overwhelming response. I did skim through the responses and agree with most of the suggestions/comments if not all.
Someone had brought the issue of FIFO and if there is anything in the law that states that FIFO has to be followed. I am not a law expert myself and cannot comment on if there is any such law. But what I am basing is more on the everyday commensense behaviour that all we humans follow for any queue. FIFO is the predominant thing being done for any queue and that will be the most resonable way to process be it a bunch of applicantions waiting on a queue or to service a number of people waiting on a queue in a bank or post office or whereever it might be. That is the fair, unbiased and non-preferential way of doing things. Isn't it?
I want to make sure to convey the point that I first of all wanted to bring this issue to everyone's attention. May be my message was worded strongly, but doesn't mean that I am not flexible.
I thought suing DOL is one of the options. Of course if there are other viable alternatives that will be less demanding, less expensive and will take a more non-confronting approach but still could have an equal impact in terms of resolving the issue amicably then I am all for it. But then the obvious question is what are the other equally good options? Someone mentioned about a petition. So what is a petition and how do we do it? Also mentioned was writing letters to congressmen etc. So who do we contact and how? Please, please anyone having the information please share.
One more thing is that I am all for a dialog with IV core members and their guidance for this. Since I started this thread doesn't mean that I wanted to sideline IVs, but this is the only way I thought I could communicate to the IV platform about the agony of this issue and how people have been affected by this. So I am all for talking with IV core members on this. But please let me know how I could do that?
So please let us start acting now: The list of next possible steps (in no particular order) are:
- Decide if there are viable alternatives to a lawsuit that is more non-confronting and first try them if possible
- Get the support of IV core team for this
- If no other alternatives are available then consider filing a case. Consult an attorney for this
- Raise more awareness about this and get allt he support we can
- Raise some money towards this cause
So please please provide more inputs so that we could start making some real progress. Thanks!!
