Hi all,
First I thank IV core team for making the D.C rally a big success.
Here are few of my thouts.
1)To get more chinese and other foreign nationals involved in our team we better to put active chinese and other nationals in IV core team (Its just my idea and if you think its not a good one please ignore it.)
2) Yes we better do a second rally but at thesame time we better to educate them first by giving adevrtisements and things like that.

I see ur predictions coming true, but with a big BUT, the flow "EB1 ROW/EB1 INDIA --> EB2 ROW/ EB2India/ EB2China-->EB3ROW/EB3 INDIA." may be a make-shift approach just to use up leftover visas for this year. This is not a published rule anywhere. So how can u be so certain based on Ron Gotcher or how can he be so certain that this gonna be the approach going forward.
The DOS after consulting with attorneys and the Congress has concluded that EB visa numbers should spill over horizontally rather than vertically. Relevent legal clauses addressing this issue were posted by IV members yesterday. DOS now admits it's previous interpretation of vertical spill over (excess visas going to EB-3 ROW) was wrong. Can it be challenged or reversed?, Of course possible but very unlikely to happen in the near future in the next several months.
All said and done, I'll say vdlrao calculations with (sumagiri correction:) look credible.

Is it really that bad in canada? I think if you are looking for jobs (no.s & salary) comparable to US that won't happen. But I think the general quailty of life in canada is pretty comparable to US.
Same school system/corporate env/law enforcement/etc ..
I don't think any place will compare to living in US as far as # of available jobs/salary is concerned. You may find more jobs in India but the general quality of life in India is still sub-par. If it were really at par with west, nobody would be trying to immigrate here.
I am sorry to tell you that by going to Canada, in the end you may be better off going back home. I lived there as a PR and I have many Canadian citizens that are tired of the lame system back in the Socialist Canada.
As a general note, I think if you have already been in US 8-9 years you have already made enough investment and sacrifice. Its worth waiting for some more time. But set your own timeframe, don't wait endlessly. Trust me this can go on, this might be a well thought poicy decision to slow down processing at BEC's and introduce retrogression. This will trigger a lot of ppl like us to leave and they can get the work done cheaper (off course, there is always more ppl ready to fill my shoes).

What categories are covered by health care professional? Which of these categories are Schedule A? Thanks.
Schedule A

(2) Aliens who will be employed as professional nurses
(3) Definitions of Group I occupations:
(i) Physical therapist means a person who applies the art and science of physical therapy to the treatment of patients with disabilities, disorders and injuries to relieve pain, develop or restore function, and maintain performance, using physical means, such as exercise, massage, heat, water, light, and electricity, as prescribed by a physician (or a surgeon).
(ii) Professional nurse means a person who applies the art and science of nursing which reflects comprehension of principles derived from the physical, biological and behavioral sciences.

some of you asked about repercussions of this sudden forward movement. i am not a lawyer or anything but I think the processing time for employment based 485 in Nebraska Center will move back from Aug 13, 2006 (
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC
).
I dunno... may be by a year I guess (again total speculation - I am not a lawyer or an USCIS expert).
also according to (http://www..com/usa-immigration-trackers/i485-graph) current processing times by recent approval dates seem to be between 250 to 350 days range (disclaimer: there are other ways to analyze this).

I Feel that what USCIS will do next is not return any application back to sender but DUMP them in some backlog storage room like BEC center and people hAVE TO WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR VB in OCTOBER IN ORDER TO GET RECEIPT NUMBER BASED ON PD AND THEN THEY WILL GET EAD and AP. The only thing is one might save on INCREASE 485 FEES:eek:
I don't think uscis can do that. They can either accept applications or reject them. If they hold the applications for next 3 months, they would violate their long-term procedures and would fear a lawsuit because of that. They know that they are original documents in those applications that can be used once again...god knows when...

Did anyone research whether it is possible to get some relief through rulemaking, instead of legislation? For example, there is no 'explicit' prohibition against issuing employment authorization to spouses of H1bi employees. The rule-making agency (in this case the DHS or USCIS) can grant a benefit that spouses be provided with employment authorization. Recently, the USCIS actually did provide regulatory relief by de-coupling the H1bi period of stay from the period of stay in H4 status. An idea to consider...
well I don't think anyone spent time in understanding current law and try to work for us,
current immigration law is very subjective and many organizations or interpretting for their own advantage,
we just need to put some effort to see how we can close certain loopholes and make better for us, e.g. labour subst, was big loophole, thank god itz closed now,
I think we should not discuss stratergies any more in this public forum and should take this outside either on conf call or thru private message

Let us not also forget that current estimates are that there are 1.1 million applications pending at all stages of the green card process. Notwithstanding the new additions each year.
Not looking quite so quick still, I remain unconvinced that things will speed up.
Is this an estimate for EB or for all green card applications? Because I absolutely do not believe this is the number. There is just no about H1Bs issued to produce this number.

I think they came up wit 5K figure just to say F.. off in a gentle way...They never thought that we'll collect 5K and give them. I really think this should be sent out to media and immigration subcommittees, complaining we are paying hefty fees to live in the country on the contrary we are asked for this kind of money to get information which USCIS should have been publishing atleast quarterly...

Based on the various discussions in this forum, the number is expected to be around 20k. No concrete evidence for this claim.
It will be interesting to see Sep bulletin. Because at present except EB2 I & C all other categories are either C or U. So, each and every visa will go to EB2 I & C and there will be plethora of approvals beginning Aug 1st. I-485 processing date is in July ’07 (both at TSC and NSC) and all the pending EB2 (till June 1st 06) may not be ready to adjudicated (RFE, denials, I-140 not cleared etc). If the above numbers are correct and given the fact that additional numbers will be available beginning Oct (2008 quota), there is bright chance that EB2 dates may still move further. This is my personal opinion.
Does any one has any Idea or back of the envelope calculation as to how many EB2 visas (for all countries) may be left for the remainder of FY'07?
The reason I am saying Eb2 all and not EB2 India, as most of the 485 applications filled in early July 485 were from India. Hence, given the new interpretation of visa overflow, almost all will be assigned to this category.

I've been having sleepless nights ever since a cut off date of May 15th got in the fray.
Here's my case -
I140 sent to USCIS on June 06th (They should have received it on June 07th)
I have not reveived a receipt date yet.
What would the receipt date for my application be -
June 7th when USCIS receives the application
or
Some later date when my application goes into the system
Now assuming that a new cut off date of June 19th is established, would my I140 be treated as pending on June 19th? Or only those applications will be treated as pending that have a receipt date prior to June 19th.
Gurus please enlighten and help me sleep.

I did not want to initiate that discussion because it may be a long one, but let me share my experience:
My recommendation is that folks take an MBA only if you already have a firm position in mind that you want to go for an executive or upper management position in the future. That line of thought is specially applicable when you are paying the whole thing from your own pocket !!! Before working in a management position or taking the MBA, I did not know how much I liked the idea of becoming a CIO or CEO. I tought I knew it, but until you actually experiment it, as many things in life you don't know for sure. Well, after completing 50% of the program I realized that was not my short or mid-term goal to work as an executive reading accounting net income balance sheets or maketing professional, even if I had the GC handy.
In my personal opinion, taking an MBA merely to enhance your project management when you are PAYING FROM YOUR OWN POCKET it may be a very bad strategy. If others are paying for you, of course that is fine, but it is not the case for many of us. I had only one or two courses related to project management anyway.
If you just want to enhance your project management skills, you might want to invest in way more direct courses such as PMP, ITIL, Microsoft Operations Framework. You should be able to complete those with a fraction of the cost and time of an MBA and probably achieve more return and knowledge than what the MBA can offer you when it comes to project management.
For those who are sure you want to read balance sheets, work with marketing analysis and go away from the hands-on experience, then MBA may be right for you.
I don't want to discourage you, but there are documents out there showing that MBA's are overrated and the importance of it is under scrutiny. Since I already found offers from multiple employers who were willing to pay 100% (if you are a qualified professional like us, it is not difficult to find employers willing to pay for it once you can change jobs) personally I thought I could wait a little longer to get the MBA and invest in IT certifications now paying from my own pocket.
Just my humble opinion.
Agree with you, it is always about knowledge, information, contacts, and ability to adapt rather than investing on high cost education unless you have someone else paying or u r stinking rich or u get a scholarship.

Guys wait till you see "real" bulletin and even if mirror to what has been placed to Mumbai Consulate, EB3 will forward perhaps slowly now but picking up. EB3-India with PD 2004 mid and before will not have to worry that much.
With all these new developments I am not sure it will really move any faster. May be after october 08 we may see some considerable movement in EB3.Mine is March 03. Hope fully I will get my GC by next summer, 09 summer.

We do not have sufficient expertise to answer such specific queries .. Your company's immigration lawyer should be the best person to answer this. You could also try posing your query to an attorney during our conference calls.
In any case, a good employer would prepare for the worst case eventuality - that is assume that an audit notice is sent. If your company and its lawyer have been scrupulous about all the information they furnished during the PERM app there should be little trouble responding to it. In case they fail to satisfy USCIS, your company will get blacklisted and will be barred from filing PERM applications for some length of time (not sure what that is).I do not know of any direct consequences for the beneficiary himself.
My company went through a 10% workforce reduction company-wide just when my PERM application was ready to be filed. Although nobody from my group has been affected, 2 people with the same job title from a different group in the same office were affected. Their job descriptions are entirely different. I have about a year and a half before my H1B expires. I would appreciate anybody answering the following questions I have:
1. In Form 9089, should the answer to Item 26 be 'No' since nobody in my group or area of expertise was affected?
2. If the answer to Item 26 should be 'Yes', is it sufficient to notify and consider the people laid off? I am confident that they will not qualify for the position. How long should this 'notification and interview' period typically be?
3. I have heard that my company can be sent an audit notice. In such a case, is it sufficent to justify that the area of expertise is different. What is the success rate for this?
4. If the audit response is rejected, what happens then? I have been told that the employee will have to return to his home country immediately and cannot refile his PERM application.

Is LUD mandetory after finger printing? I applied for EAD for my wife and me on 5/21. Sent supporting docs and had LUD on 5/23. Went for finger printing on 6/10 but no LUD so far. I am concerned if the finger printing center sent the data to USCIS or not. Our EAD expired 7/30 so I am concerned.
Thanks
