Few months back I was frustrated and was seriously considering going back to India. Until I had to visit Denver for some work last week (where I use to work before). I met one of my freind who is from India and after listening to his story I decided may be it worth waiting for GC. He never wanted to stay in US (not because of GC retrogression but for other reason) and on advise from his coworker he applied for GC. He got his GC in one and half year (wow !! great isnt it). Now look at the life style he is living beautiful house by the lake with view of mountains kids going to good school. He comes home for lunch, work is just couple of miles from home. Huge shopping malls at stone throw distance. Now he thank his ex-coworker for his advise as he and his family is living a wonderful life.
Its just matter of time. Lets look at the glass half filled rather than half empty few months back it was total darkness atleast now we have bills passed by Senate which incorporates IV goals (kudos to IV core and all members). All we can do is try as we did before. Lets renew our fight with full vigor we are half way through. Once it passes HR we are done. I urge all members to participate on Sunday's conference and plan new strategy.

After watching Senator Kennedy say that the "highly skilled" are adequately taken care of under the H1-B program and thus that there is no need to work on EB amendments, then watching Bernie Sanders have his anti-H1 amendment passed under the guise of a scholarship program not to mention his claim that H1 workers replace laid off American workers, and to have Dorgan (the master of the poison pill amendment that probably killed the bill "for now") rail against the H1 program while constantly complaining that "fruit of the loom" underwear is no longer made in the USA and to see Senator Ensign's effort to reform the merit system to give high skilled workers more points shot down, one can safely conclude we have little chance attaching provisions for our cause to other bills. Any attempt to try to pass pro-legal legislation will likely meet strong opposition from the pro-undocumented lobby, not to mention the propaganda disseminated by NumbersUSA, Alipac and Co., IEEE etc etc who have managed to sneak in their provisions into CIR. Unless we can lobby stronger and dispel the myths perpetuated by these groups we face a very uphill battle. Recently these groups have been quoting a Tata executive saying that they pay their H1 workers lower wages than an American would receive. When the pro-legal immigrant groups fail to counter these accusations or fails to deny them, then they become accepted and give leeway to restrictionists to accept them as fact when they are not.

I am finding it difficult understanding what author meant here...
Can some one please help me understanding the text below from (paragraph 8)
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0225-endelman.shtm
USCIS does not have to define "immediate availability" strictly on the cut-off dates listed in the Visa Bulletin. Rather, both State and CIS could post estimated "qualifying dates" on their websites so that, precisely as now happens in a consular case, USCIS would now allow pre-filing of adjustment applications so that applicants could begin to assemble the necessary documentation and send in their I-485 packages so that USCIS could conduct necessary checks and get the case ready for formal submission when the priority date is reached. Only at that point would CIS formally request an immigrant visa number from the State Department. Not until then would the adjustment of status be considered "filed". The beauty of this is that Congress need not lift a finger; all that need be done is for USCIS to modify the definition of filing contained in 8 CFR Sections 103.2 (a)(7) and 245.2(a)(2). If Congress wanted to ratify what the USCIS had done, it could certainly do so after the fact. Everything that we now consider to be the adjustment of status process could take place before the I-485 is "filed". Nothing could be simpler. The reason to seek Congressional modification of INA 245(a) is not because it is only way forward but because, by enshrining such a procedural benefit in the INA itself, it will be a much more secure right, one not subject to administrative whim or unilateral repeal. This process would not only afford the Visa Office a more accurate picture of adjustment demand but it holds out the potential of drastically slashing processing times. Far from granting adjustment applicants any special or unfair advantage, the use of qualifying dates as a way to define immediate visa availability would serve to harmonize the green card process in and out of the United States. Clearly, close and constant coordination between the Visa Office and USCIS would be required and integration of this procedural innovation with the Child Status Protection Act is transparently necessary. Given the obvious and not insignificant benefits, any transitional angst is surely worth the effort.
Does it mean pre filing can be done through executive power?
Thank you.
The suggestion here is that it is pre-filing without pre-filing (if that makes any sense) i.e. it will enable USCIS to "look ahead" into a candidate's eligibility for 485 approval without providing any of the benefits (EAD,AP) that comes with filing a 485. It is supposed to help USCIS drastically cut 485 processing times with minimal upheaval, not give us any benefits.

So are you suggesting that everyone in EB3 ROW is unskilled professional?
No that is a suggestion that you are making ...
I am saying that every one in EB3 India/China/ROW is applying for a job that requires lesser skill than EB2 India/China/ROW
It is the job ....not the individual and not the country

If an H1 gets layed off, how soon must he leave before he is considered illegal status? And for practical purposes, does it matter (ie, is it ever enforced)? Does having severence extend the period (because you're technically still on payroll)?

This is essentially what we got in July07, and this can be a great pain relief. Since it was done in July07, there is already a precedent for it?? Would it be an administrative fix then? Just a note , IV already has this as one of the things we are working to change in law, but I was wondering if it could be admin only fix.
This is different from what was done in July 2007. Back then all PD was current. This is to grant the ability to file AOS even when the PD is NOT current

I think it is very simple to understand. It clearly says it's free for people who filed their adjust of status application (I-485) under new file structure. Since we(most of us) filed under old file structure, we'll always be paying $340. Point numbers no. 5. is about AOS application and not about EAD appl.
Yes , its Free :D Anyway - lets talk with a 3rd person (maybe USCIS) and confirm. Its Free, if you read the EAD forms its clearly written that once some one pays $340 ( not other amount) it becomes FREE for ever. I just checked the EAD forms again before writing this post - let me PASTE from EAD forms if that clear the confusion.
Renewal EAD: If this is a renewal application and you
applying under one of the following categories, a filing fee
not required:
1. (a)(8) Citizen of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, or Palau;
3. (a)(11) Deferred Enforced Departure; or
2. (a)(10) Granted Withholding of Deportation;
4. (c)(l), (c)(4), or (c)(7) Dependent of certain foreign government, international organization, or NATO personnel;
5. (c)(9) or (c)(16) adjustment applicant who filed for adjustment under the fee structure implemented July 30, 2007.

I did not say all of the dems, by same token not all republicans support immigration (legal or otherwise).
What I am saying is that generally, republicans have (even if it is to spite the efforts of people pushing illegal immigration) been more supportive of legal than illegal immigration.
While many democrats have been supportive, the one of the main reasons for the delay are the dems themselves, their crappy CHC, who dont want to allow any immigration bill till the illegals are elevated on the pedestal. The Dem leadership have put the immigration issue a hostage to the whims of CHC.
I still can't connect Republicans with legal immigration. I was asking before, what Republican sponsored bill was passed that supports legal immigrants?
My understanding is that Republicans are generally anti-immigration, whether legal or illegal, while Democrats are generally pro-immigration, whether legal or illegal.
I think Republicans are pure lip-service but we can't see any action from them. They say they support legal immigration but you cannot see them passing a single bill to put it into action. Even Bush was not able to push Republicans to support CIR. McCain was forced to disavow his support for CIR just to win the nomination.
On the other hand, it was always at the time of a Democrat President when immigrants had freedoms. VB was almost always current. You can get driver's license easily.
Again, going back to the question, what Republican Bill was passed in support of us, legal immigrants?

Commercial airlines fly between 25,000 ft and 40,000 ft. Airlines generally take risks for profits. I know it. Some airlines like United are ultra sensitive to turbulence. Some fly right through turbulence. And sometimes I feel some pilots are plain incompetent, they have no control over aircraft during the storm.
I have personally taken 500+ flights, almost 2 every week. And I can say, I get really nervous when turbulence or strong clouds are present. You are one second away from the big one. Always always wear seat belt during turbulence, if it gets severe, you will hit the head on the ceiling. The turbulence during take off and landing is usually more risky as aircraft is closer to ground and can not afford to lose altitude. If it is at a higher altitude, aircraft can lose some altitude, due to "air pockets" and still be ok.
yes, i do understand that. I still donot understand why fly into a "thunderstorm"!

Now, the bad part ... the achilles heel of every high-skills amendment is the tethered H1B quota tricks. They are exempting everyone who has US masters or a non-US master in STEM from H1 quota, effectively making H1 quota = A LOT MORE.
The exact same radioactive provision for H1 quota is also in Lieberman-Hagel amendment 1242.
This will sink both of them unless either there is some inside deal going on that we dont know, or they strike out the H1 issue from this on the floor of the senate at the last minute and be content with H1 quota of 180,000.
I don't understand the risk you are mentioning. How unlimited H1B is going to cause problem in eliminating retrogression in EB catagories?

Guys:
Money is not the issue here....if needed I could contribute too....
However, if we take all these letters to the press..and have them run the show for us....also by keeping the confidentiality of the individual....Guys one letter from the guy who was fired from Microsoft made news all across cnn, yahoo and everywhere.....Let the press of US do the job for us....they will make USCIS accountanble. I lilke the idea about taking to the President or Sec of State....actually, if we take to the local Senator...that will be good enough....all these guys are always looking for spice reports like this to make things happen...Hopefully this will bring more transparency from USCIS and they will be forced to report status to the Govt, by which we will also see what we need to see.....

As long as you have had a valid h1b peition approved for employer 1 and employer 2 while you worked for them you are FINE.
According to my lawyer there is nuthing like a h1b transfer. When someone decides to move to a new sponsor that new sponsor files for a h1b via the petition but nuthing gets transfered, they need to refer to old h1b just to prove thatyou are legal and have been maintaining legal status.
in your case Employer X did so but you never joined that employer so you are fine. USCIS can get back to that emplyer if they have not cancelled your h1b as they are liable to pay you by law.
For real as you had an approved petition (latest but not the greatest) from Employer X but did not join them you are fine as long as you were still holding a valid petition with Emp # 2. You should respond back to RFE stating that you were maintaining stauts via emp#2 and were offered a job by EmpX which you never accepted. As a proof you should sen copies of pay stub for enitre period and w-2 + peition and visa copies.
Hope this helps!:)
