Senator Chris Dodd (D- CT)
The office people are very helpful. My case is Handled by Maggie.
I don't think their inqriry was initiated as my GC came very next day. I always tried to contact the 2 nd level IO by asking that I would like to confirm my Home address or my Alien number on I 140 and I 485 does not match. Just an ecuse to get to Level 2 IO instead of first level IO's who read what we see online as if we are illiterates

My employer filed my EB3 PERM on 65th day after starting the process with a job bank posting, and after filing with DOL it took 11 days for the lawyer to receive the approval.

First of all...Hats off to IV for doing an incredible job !!!
My labor has been collecting dust in the Dallas BEC since 2001, my PD is Nov 2001, non-RIR. The online system still states that my case is in process. I am equally frustrated like all my fellow BEC victims, but I think there is no reason to feel left out or unhappy just because some people could jump the queue and get in front of us. The best we can do is congratulate them on their good fortune and hope that the DOL sticks to their deadline and clear all BEC cases by sep. If they miss the sep deadline (i wont be surprised if they do), I guess IV can help us in organising another flower campaign or a rally based on the recent success.
Lets keep the faith and stay the course !!!

...who said that they are from non-IT field , it suggests that more than 90% affected are from IT and EB2 ? I want to see hard numbers....
I am not sure what you are going to achieve with the field type. You have to consider some inherent facts about the Employment Based immigration...
1) Most (not all) applications are from India
2) Most (not all) applicants from India are in IT field
3) Most applicants, in general, are filing EB2.
If you consider all these facts, it becomes apparent that IT/EB2/India is not something they are purposely focusing on, it just happens to be that way. If you want more information on this data, I suggest you check out '' that shows Country and EB type by each user and whether they got audited or not.
I dont think we necessarily need people to describe their field for the initiative we plan to take against late audit responses.

These are the issues and examples we discussed. Although the following presents a lot of issues, I emphasized repeatedly that the GC recapture was the first priority.
Immigration Issues:
Obama wants high-paying, high-skill jobs in future – AP March 26, 2009
Obama said job creation in America is difficult in a time of economic hardship and that the work of the future should be in more high-paying, high-skill areas like clean energy technology.
Why Skilled Immigrants Are Leaving the U.S. – Business Week March 3, 2009
Earlier research by my team suggested that a crisis was brewing because of a burgeoning immigration backlog. At the end of 2006, more than 1 million skilled professionals (engineers, scientists, doctors, researchers) and their families were in line for a yearly allotment of only 120,000 permanent resident visas. The wait time for some people ran longer than a decade. In the meantime, these workers were trapped in "immigration limbo." If they changed jobs or even took a promotion, they risked being pushed to the back of the permanent residency queue. We predicted that skilled foreign workers would increasingly get fed up and return to countries like India and China where the economies were booming.
Why should we care? Because immigrants are critical to the country's long-term economic health. Despite the fact that they constitute only 12% of the U.S. population, immigrants have started 52% of Silicon Valley's technology companies and contributed to more than 25% of our global patents. They make up 24% of the U.S. science and engineering workforce holding bachelor's degrees and 47% of science and engineering workers who have PhDs. Immigrants have co-founded firms such as Google (NasdaqGS:GOOG - News), Intel (NasdaqGS:INTC - News), eBay (NasdaqGS:EBAY - News), and Yahoo! (NasdaqGS:YHOO - News).
Educated people leaving the US – Why?
More opportunities overseas
Economic disincentives – spouses and dependents prohibited from working
Institutionalized discrimination – hate groups like FAIR are given voice in congress (i.e. stimulus)
Extremely onerous bureaucracy – 10 years in US and no path to permanent residency (professionals, bankers, educators)
Indentured service
– workers cannot leave employer without facing deportation or illegal status
– including professionals
– employer holds too much power
– employees cannot complain or quit
– dependents must work illegally or leave the country to work
When people change jobs they often have to restart the process again from the beginning.
Solutions:
Canada example:
Permanent residency point system – points awarded for
- years legal residency (student, worker)
- family members in US
- education (more points for certain fields of study)
- proficiency in official language
- skill in high demand fields (petroleum engineers, medical doctors)
Work visas for dependents –
Eliminate restrictions on family members from working
Dependents of professionals are usually educated
Contribute more to US economy (example: work as substitute teacher)
Pay more taxes
Example of a skilled dependent who is not able to work.
“My family moved to the US in 2002. Before that, I and my wife were working in Malaysia. My wife has two Masters Degrees in Science. Once we moved in, I have been trying to get GC. All this time, my wife has been in H4. She has tried her best but could not land a job with H1 sponsorship as no company in her field that she tried is familiar with H1 process. All these years, she has been highly stressed due to this. People may think she must have known this before coming in. But, at that time, the average GC wait was 2 years.”
Other benefits of immigration reform to US economy
Stop reverse brain drain – US universities educate people who are often FORCED to take their skills out of the country
Support housing market – many immigrants hesitate to buy a house because of their uncertain status, but skilled immigrants tend to have healthy incomes that support home ownership.
Scrap diversity visa lottery
– does not attract skilled people
– Already have country limits for green cards
Why bring more people to US and then force people who are already here and have shown a dedication to the US to leave?
To prevent employers from abusing workers: Allow people who have work visas to change jobs without having to reapply for a new visa (up to the original expiration date) and restart green card process.
Bureaucratic Issues
Backlogs in processing going back as far as 7 years or more: some have suggested that they would rather be denied a visa than wait so long. That way they can at least plan for the future.
Immigrants from most countries need to leave the US to get their visa stamped even when their visa has been approved and they are already legally in the U.S. The reason for this is unclear, but it causes economic hardship to immigrants who are delayed and risk losing their jobs.
Every year visas are unclaimed, often because of processing delays. Employment based immigrants have been asking for these unclaimed visas to be reissued to people who have been waiting years for their applications to be processed. The issue is reducing processing time, and they see visa recapture as a way to reduce the backlog.
Many immigrants have complained about the long time processing their applications for a green card. They would like to see automatic qualification for professionals who have lived in the US for a certain period of time (5 or 6 years).
Clearing the GC backlog and making it easier for skilled professionals to get permanent residency will encourage investment in US whether in the form of buying a house or setting up a business etc, because it allows immigrants to plan for the future.
Having no time limit for processing applications is inefficient and does not ensure accountability. Business projects and other processes need time frames to ensure they remain on track and that employees are productive. Government agencies need to be held to the same standards.
Applicants need to be able to access information about their status, which should have clear timelines for each step and show clearly where they are in the process. This is the only way they can plan effectively for the future.
Many people who have been in the US legally for more than 10 years but can’t get permanent residency. They are eligible for SS, but may be forced to leave the US with their US savings, assets and SS benefits. These people would like consideration of a fast track application.

What people are doing here is basically discounting the value of education. They are questioning the point of going to college at all (or to get a graduate degree), when you can just go to a trade school and learn a programming language that gets you a job. By that logic, why study history, biology, philosophy, languages, etc., if you eventually want to be in the software industry.
What people need to understand is that education gives you perspective. I don't directly use 95% of the education that I gained in many years of school, college and graduate studies. Does that mean it's worthless? I beg to differ, and so do my employers and people who work with me.
I stand corrected. I misunderstood his statement. I thought he was referring to a non-US degree. Yes, I agree, a sound theoretical foundation goes a long way.

I'm from ATL and the latest i could get an infopass at ATL local office is on August 12th. My EAD expires Aug 22nd. I will have to ask him what to . Does anbody know if there is an interim EAD and if so, will they give it immediately or is there a "process" for that also.

I sent my passport renewal to CGI houston on Apr 5. I called them last week and they said they registered it on Apr 8th and it is under processing. I will be traveling to India on May 18. Will I get my passport before then or should I file for Tatkal. Or how long can I wait before I send the tatkal fees. The lady who answered the phone said that I don't need to file tatkal and hung up. I am confused on what to do next. Please advise.
