Core IV,
How does the House version of SKIL compare blow by blow with the senate provisions for EB in CIR. Does House version of SKIL include recapture of unused visas as well as a raise which was part of the CIR. Compete America report only talks about excluding spouse and depenedents in the House SKIL version for EB visa numbers
If you have some analysis can you please post. Thank You !
Very good news indeed.
In the US politics for some reason, certain issues seem to get clubbed together.
Sometimes it suits our purposes and at other times it is vexing. Clearly our issue of legal immigration does not create the type of backlash from conservative republicans that the issue of illegal immigration does. Hence when our circumstances necessitate that we have to try to board the CIR train to our goals I consider it unfortunate.
On the other hand when it comes to H1b immigration, every H1b increase has corresponded with some sort of provision(mainly recapture) of EB visas also. H1b increase has tremendous support and pressure from the powerful capitalist forces in this country. Just see how the Wall street Journal and Pres.Bush gives publicity to this issue. I doubt pure EB provisions can get that sort of visibility in spite of the tremendous work of organisations like IV.
In that sense the H1b cap being exhausted indirectly gives our issue more visibility and is a good development. Lets wait until the 20K US masters cap is also filled, then publicity will increase even more.
All in all it looks good that something will work for us by the end of this year. The pressure is building on congress to do something about EB immigration.

Where do you find attorneys like this?? Congrads!!
Can you elaborate on your skill set so we know what is needed to go under the quota of "person with extraordinary ability interest to US".
As I promised earlier I would keep you guys updated on the process of this case.
On saturday I received the welcome as a permanent resident to USA letter. After trying to get a hold of my attorney I got in touch with him.
Heres the story. (this guy is a genius)
I asked him how it was possible when my PD wasn't current I got GC approval.
His answer was funny and pleasant. Magic :D
He said after the approval of my PERM during filing I-140 under EB2 he also filed a petition under "person with extraordinary ability interest to US" on my behalf. So in other words both the petitions were being processed together at USCIS. Me not aware of USCIS rules wasn't aware of all the lingo so didn't know.
Now the Extraordinary ability petition quota is always current. So when my extraordinary petition was approved the attorney informed the USCIS that to adjucate my adjustment based on this approval. Since the PD was current for this category. USCIS processed and approved the GC based on that. I love this guy I don't have to work for my current employer anymore hence he will get a big surprise when I turn in 2 day resignation. HA...

I agree 100 %. But even if the officer wants to know about out I 140, it wud be just a 1 min process for them as they can check if a recipt was generated based on the names.
If we put the copies of the fee checks, that would help even more because that means that our I 140 application was accepted.
With tracking receipts, cheque copies and a letter, I believe we would be able to establish evidence that, 140 was received by the service center.
Totally missing out on showing that I 140 is filed is no evidence at all. Showing every possible document to prove that the docment was filed, should be do the work.
Anyways since there are so many hundreds of people who filed I 140 in the recent days, I believe some alternative from USCIS wud show up in the next few days .......

This question is not to undermine the effort, which was tremendous but just from a realistic point of view...
I'm just curious to know how long it will take (or rather how long we are prepared to wait) for the impact of this rally to be felt and what are the changes that can be expected from USCIS as a result ?
Say, after waiting for a few months, status quo continues, what further actions are planned to persist with IV's cause (i.e. more rallies or by other means) ?
If the same question has been already raised, please ignore.
Thanks.
Change always takes time. Being in DC and visiting lawmakers was an incredible crash course for me in the practicalities of American politics. It was fascinating. I have to say it was one of the most satisfying things I've ever done in my life.
Whilst we are pushing for rapid changes, the realties are that building the type of relationships that we were doing in DC can take time to foster change
Anyway - lets close the thread. I was hoping to get some better information about how we can improve our motivation techniques for the future. I got many answers...

Well thats our fate .. we are always forced to piggyback on a larger issue. With CIR it was illegal immigration, now it is H1-B. But you got to understand that if not for corporate lobbying (who have a heavier stake in H1-Bs) this bill would not have seen the light of day, that too in the house. We got to be thankful we are at least not being treated on par with the illegal aliens .. the broad theme of this bill is highly related to skilled immigration, which is much less controversial than granting citizenship to illegals; not withstanding the tancredos and numbersUSAs who will still be yelling doomsday from the rooftops. Granted we are flying under the radar as usual, but I very much doubt this will be an H1-B only bill without any EB relief.
I agree, lacking enough "pull" either monetarily or numerically puts us at a disadvantage. However, I just read this post from indianindian2006
http://aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=19879
It clearly says that there are provisions to address issues for permanent residency. Two that interests me and most others are:
1) Exemptions for U.S. educated foreign workers with master's or higher degrees from the H-1B and EB green card quotas so their talent can be retained in the United States.
2) Exemptions for EB green card immigrant spouses and children from the annual cap, thus making more visas available for the innovative professionals we need.
So hopefully all is not over yet :) ....

You can call as much as you want. No one will give you a clear cut answer.
99% you will be rejected and 1% you will slip through.
Instead of wasting your time on them.Go ahead call & write to the media. Do not put it on the side and say let someone else do it. if we do not help ourselves in this matter no one will help us.
I hope i did not offend anybody.

Not really. Some/ many will have it easy especially if they were not foolish enough to be born in India.:mad:
Pls read the following advice from Siskind to some new potential H1B applicants.
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2006,0705-siskind.shtm
An option available to many this year will be filing for permanent residency. There are many work-related green card applications that can be filed without a labor certification. And the new PERM labor certification program means that employment authorization can be obtained much earlier. Now that concurrent filing of I-140 and adjustment of status applications area available, it may be possible to secure an employment authorization document in a matter of a couple of months after the green card process is started.

That is right. But same country quota is there in EB system also. So in point system also 80% of people will get same quality of people as current system. But advantage is process delay will be eliminated.
The points system will likely result in significant deterioration in the quality of EB immigrants.
The biggest flaw of the point system as it is currently structured is that people may be able to get a green card even if they are unemployable in the US. No one knows what fraction of green cards granted under the points system would end up going to these types of cases.
As it stands today, 100% of all people admitted under the EB categories are assured of decent employment when they are granted a green card. Why should we move to a system that permits people to come in based on paper qualifications, work for low wage jobs and then after 5 years claim welfare benefits?

I will wait for your update. Thanks again.
According to the first guy I talked to, one has already been assigned upon the start of processing of the case.
I just called again and the lady was completely clueless about the whole July 2 fiasco. I will try again in another hour and hopefully I won't get the village idiot again.
For anyone interested in calling themselves here is the info: 1-800-375-5283 options 1, 2, 3 (and possibly 6 after that-I can't remember).

Your argument is that the country quotas help limit nepotism and discrimination based on national origin. However, this is already prohibited under DOL rules if you look at form ETA-750A. Therefore, if this is happening, it means there is a failure in the labor certification system to prevent this type of discrimination. Also, nepotism is not all bad as the Clintons and Bushes have been demonstrating :D.
The country quota owes its origin and sustenance to deep national insecurities around race. It will change eventually as the makeup of the nation changes over time. In the short term we will see movement as the UK bumps up against the 7% limit.
Honestly speaking; if the laws were followed the way they were meant to be; it would be extremely, extremely difficult to get h-1b; labor processing and 140's approved.
Right now USCIS, DOL and consulates are really after people. Be careful what you wish for; there are a lot of things under the carpet.

TravInd, you are right about people not knowing the priority dates and not aware the GC was a mistake. In fact, I still don't know for sure if mine was a mistake. I will know only when I find it out through the lawyer. My previous lawyer who worked on my GC case said congratulations and everything was fine. I am eager to find out if it was a mistake on my own.
