You have to understand the simple fact that no,law or system is 100% perfect on day 1. Over time we have to learn the system and take the feedback and modify the system according to changing times. You cannot say that discrimination is built into the law. This is totally wrong.
Again H1-B visa is a privillege just like Driver license. It is not a right.
We can only request/protest democratically following proper protocols and get our things done. Otherwise there won't be any difference between us and those terrorists who protest by suicide bombers.
I hope i didn't offend anyone here.
of course, a different visa type, discrimination built into the law.

It was the figure that the Kauffman Report found about a month ago when studying the potential for Reverse Brain Drain amongst other things. It as accurate a number that you will find.
Remember, this is many years of cumulative build up of temporary work visas transferring to permanent residency path
A total of 2.5M cases pending (AOS and naturalization), only 1.2M are ready for action.
For true backlog numbers look here, Ombudsman report, Page 14.
http://www.ilw.com/immigdaily/news/2007,0619-ombudsman.pdf
1.3M backlogged cases TOTAL (includes naturalization), out of which more than 800K are retrogresed family-based AOS petitions, and what looks like 30K EB petitions (cannot be approved due to statutory limits). 300K cases in namecheck, maybe 10% of them are EB (EB is about 13% of green cards), so we are having about 60K truly backloged EB cases in March 2007.
We know that cases that are current and not stuck in FBI checks are being approved farily fast, so my gut feeling is they have maybe 50-80K EB cases in active adjudication. Let's double-check -- out of 1.2 million cases ready for action, about a half is naturalization, and from the other half, ~13% would be EB - yep, 80K (EBs are the easiest to approve because there are no interviews or tests, so the percentage is likely less than 13%).
So, in March 2007 there were a total of no more than 140K pending cases in I-485 stage of stocessing. Now in June-August EVERYONE who had an approved LC got to apply, and there were ~300K applications, while CIS gave out ~70K green cards, so we would have a total of 370K pending petitions. This estimate is surprisingly close to 13% of the total 2.5M backlog, so I would consider it good.
Again, I absolutely do not believe there are more than 500K EB1-EB3 cases. There may be another 500K in the 'other worker' category, but this is not what we are talking about here.

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.

I called USCIS and she said based on the information she got from his authorities, she said all the 485 application packets will be rejected with a note saying that , please apply after oct 1st if your PD is current.
I also asked her if you dont send us back by oct 1st what sould we do, she said if I dont receive by August mid, then take infopass and go to local uscis office and request for my application back.
I think all the customer service agents are aware of the issue and got informed what to answer for our questions.

Something seems amiss here ...the Wednesday & Thursday before the original CIR was stalled - Friday June 8th - there was a lot of tech industry lobbying with Senators including drafters of the bill - both ITIC & CompeteAmerica have releases on their website dated 06/08 - the day the bill was stalled- urging the Senate to take up CIR again - the following week there were press reports indicating some industry backed provisions would be included in the bill if & when it comes back or at least they would be bought up to vote. It is hard too believe that the list of amendments to be offered now do not contain even one single such provision. There is definitely something more than meets the eye here. It is difficult to fathom industry just watching from the sidelines & allowing 2 Sanders amendments to be passed

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!
I was thinking Silicon Valley because many of us live there and the folks there are very proactive! (Look at how well California did in DC!!) and the first San Jose rally went great even with the short planning time. I was thinking that with more planning time and with a lot of proactive people who already live there it would be easier to get much bigger crowds! We didn't have 1000s of people from California in DC only because they are the farthest away which makes it hard for many of them to attend.

EB3 porting is a loophole like labor substitution.
when I came here 6 yrs ago, I had the option of applying in EB3 with a top 4 consulting US firm and I did not want to go that route. I waited until 2010 to apply in EB2.
Looks like People should come to the US as freshers or with 1-2 yrs experience > Apply in EB3 > Gain 5-6 yrs in experience > Port and BOOM, you have your GC.
How can people claim PD porting at a later date when they were not eligible on that specific date in the first place at that time? I know it's legal just like Labor Substitution.
Thats what i am saying. Agreed.

FRAGOMEN SUCKS TOTALLY - but unfortunately I got no choice - my employer uses these morons for immigration services. My reasoning is based on my experiences below:
1. I have been mailing Fragomen for 3 MONTHS (YES THREE FULL MONTHS) to initiate my H1 extn 6 months prior to my visa expiry cause I had a need to travel outside the US in a short notice and I did not want to be stuck because of me not having my visa extn papers in time. Despite 5 e-mails and 5 voice mails - there was no response from FRAGOMEN. Escalated this with my company and we had a conference call to discuss this issue with Fragomen. Guess what FRAGOMEN's Client Service Manager had to say when I asked her about they not answering my e-mails and voice mails for 3 months - "I CANNOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION SINCE EVERYCASE IS DEALT DIFFERENTLY AND WE DECIDED TO INITIATE UR H1 EXTN 3 MONTH PRIOR TO UR VISA EXPIRY." WTF!!! Who the hell are they to decide on my professional/personal travel needs? I really wish I had their job - do nothing at all and when questioned say "I cannot answer that question".
2. To make sure FRAGOMEN do not mess up my 485 as well, I asked them in the same call the time they would take to process and file my 485. The client service manager promised me that they would file my AOS in 4 business days from the day they receive all the documents from me. I made sure I sent all the documents including Medical Exam results in less than 2 days from the day we had this call. Guess how long they took to file my case - 3 full weeks - 15 business days!!!!
For the kind of money they charge, the service is totally bad. FRA-DON'T-GO-MEN might be a better name these guys.

To pbojja, your post shows how you may have completely misconstrued my post. I haven't written the post out of frustration of not being EB-1/2 at all. And am I dreaming when I hear you say that good English speaking skills aren't important in the U.S? Maybe I am in another world. I said clearly that the 'fraud' desi firms and their employees have tarnished India's image. They should be removed from the system and we should be in line with 'genuine' cases. What's wrong with that? Where's the unfairness here?
To snathan, I understand your post but I believe the tone should be more friendly and amiable. And I certainly didn't give you any red dots so peace on that front. I don't believe in petty playground politics. Actually I appreciate you reminding people about contributions since they are needed a lot for our efforts.
Also, I can see my profile turned red since people haven't understood the essence of my posts. Very sad situation indeed.

4) Money is not a problem for them. Many of them are paid off the books and have never paid Income Tax, SS Tax etc. There are also very strong political organizations, PACs (Political Action Committees) supporting. There are many USCs/LPRs contributing to election campaigns on their behalf.
- We pay all taxes. There is no PAC supporting the cause of EB immigrants exclusively ( ImmigrantsList is a PAC that supports all immigration including "undocumented").

Peter Goss, Social Security’s Chief Actuary, has estimated that three quarters of undocumented immigrants pay payroll taxes. This generates $6 to $7 billion per year in Social Security tax revenue and $1.5 billion in Medicare taxes.
According to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, undocumented noncitizens paid almost $50 billion in federal taxes from 1996 to 2003. Recent reports from across the country indicate that during the 2007 tax season, record numbers of undocumented people filed tax returns.
As IRS Commissioner Mark Everson, a former immigration official, stated in testimony before Congress last year, “If someone is working without authorization in this country, he or she is not absolved of tax liability.” In a more recent speech to the National Press Club, Everson added, “We want your money whether you are here legally or not and whether you earned it legally or not.”

What freedom and justice you are talking about? The folks on this forum are not responsible for you misery. So stop venting you frustation here. Though, I sympathize with you situtation but unfortuantely the whole legal system is unfair.
What we have done here is a good start, soon we will lobby for passing of SKIL bill . And the day is not far when you too will be benefitted by these efforts
Please and i'm begging you that please read the entire post and think for a moment before replying. I'm not in BEC, already filed my 485. I'm aware of the IV efforts towards getting relief for BEC people, I never disputed that. My point has been that the system and July bulletin is unfair (at least from one angle) and that calling it unfair/unjust should not upset others. I don't know what words were used by Bigtime and banning him was fair or unfair.

Just received email from CRIS regarding I-485 denial notice for both me and my wife.
I used AC21 after 9 months of filing I-485. My I-140 was approved before even filing I-485 in July fiasco.
My attorney promptly sent AC-21 and G-28 and i did see LUD on my and my wife's I-485 after that.
My previous company informed me sometime ago that they are going to revoke I-140 and probably they did and i am assuming that's what triggered this.
This is certainly a big damm mistake they did even after sending AC-21 docs and G-28.
Uh-oh! Sorry to hear that. But please keep the hope - it may not be all over yet.

Hi,
Based on the summary if you re-look at the student visa section of Bill Frist's bill
`(2) STUDENT VISAS- Notwithstanding the requirement under paragraph (1)(C), an alien may file an application for adjustment of status under this section if--
`(A) the alien has been issued a visa or otherwise provided nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv), or would have qualified for such nonimmigrant status if section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv) had been enacted before such alien's graduation;
`(B) the alien has earned an advanced degree in the sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics;
`(C) the alien is the beneficiary of a petition filed under subparagraph (E) or (F) of section 204(a)(1); and
`(D) a fee of $1,000 is remitted to the Secretary on behalf of the alien.
`(3) LIMITATION- An application for adjustment of status filed under this section may not be approved until an immigrant visa number becomes available.'.
What this really means is a masters student can adjust to immigrant visa status although his visa application will get approved only when the visa is available. If i have understood this correctly this means that this is similar to the S-1932 provision wherein you can adjust your status although approval will happen only when immigrant visa is available.(provided one is masters)
Or have i got this wrong?
Comments? If i am interpreting this correctly it is another big boost for people who have either not worked 3 yrs as yet on H1B or have a masters degree unrelated to the profession they are working in.
