02/02/2007: What Did Senator Kerry Immigration Reform Bill Mean to EB Immigrants?
In highsight, the failure of the Kerry Amendment to H.R.2 to pass the Senate could be considered a relief to the EB immigrants. Review of the immigration reform bill in the H.R. will establish that the bill proposed for the employment-based immigration system practically nothing other than increasing the annual quota to 290,000. None of the provisons in the SKIL bill was reflected in the bill, including exemption of the spouses and children from from the numerical limitations, exemption of certain EB groups from the annual numerical limits, opportunity for filing I-485/765/131 for the I-140 beneficiary during the visa number retrogression, etc. etc. etc.! Had this been enacted, it would have affected the upcoming CIR bill or special legislation for Employment-Based immigration system reform. This reporter was shocked to learn that this bill provided practically no relief for the employment-based imigrants other than farm workers and the children eligible for DREAM Act bill. The bill was extremely imbalanced legislation in a way from the perspectives of the "Comprehensive" Immigration Reform.
We will see whether the Senate leaders will indeed complete and introduce the CIR proposal next month.

I had observed this last summer also that most of the CPO emails are received at night. In my opinion, it is probably due to the fact that they run these external communications as batch jobs at night, which is usually the case in any high volume corporate type IT systems.
So guys, relax and check you emails at night :-)

FYI we never us the terms like EB2 or EB3 in our meetings with lawmakers.
Pappu, don't mean to argue with you. This could be one reason why DOS/USCIS spilling over all the Visa's to EB2. I do not know how to phrase it. USCIS took U-Turn on spill over after IV started pushing. I know your (IV) intention of benefiting the entire community. But every effort resulted in EB2 getting all the help. Otherwise how DOS/USCIS does not consider 2001 EB3 for spill overs? If it was law enacted as part of AC21 in 2000, why USCIS delayed implementing it till 2007?
EB3I's. We are around 60000 (60K). If you really want to make an impact, at least 1/4 of this 60K which is 15 K should pay just $100 (one hundred) to IV for lobbying which will will total $1.5 Million. But every one should pay. believe me, some thing can be done in Lame duck session with this kind of money. Otherwise, keep renewing EAD (340.00 per person) and AP (another 340.00) every year. Or pay just hundred dollars by all the 15000 EB3I's that are waiting.

There is no point in educating a mass of angry, frustrated EB3-I folks.
By preference (a LEGAL statute), EB1>EB2>EB3
For spillover (a LEGAL statute), EB1>EB2>EB3
EB1-I get their GCs in about a year.
EB2-I get their GCs in about 6 years.
EB3-I get their GCs in about 8 years.
SO WHAT IS THE BLOODY PROBLEM??? Wait your turn patiently like everyone else, or upgrade your skills and education to apply for EB2 jobs. Stop bitchin' and moanin' and trying to find shortcuts in life. There are none.
Please IGNORE I_Got_Skillz and lets continue healthy debate. We should not let person like this create distraction.

When USCIS sent you the RFE notice, you would have seen "Request for Evidence". After USCIS receives your response, you would have seen the hard LUD, while the header is still for RFE. Then after some days (with in 60 days), the header changes to "Request for Evidence Response Review", while the old header "Request for Evidence" vanishes. I was in the same boat like you. I spoke to my attorney's team and they offered me the insight glimpse of working of USCIS.
I see the same status. What did your attorney say? Is it a sign of some good news or there is no such thing?

Guys,
Thanks for the quick response, much appreciated. I think I have the answer to my question.
Essentially:
1. RD will determine sequence in which AOS are looked at by case officers at USCIS. So July applicants with 2006 PD will geat EAD/AP, etc sooner than October applicants with 2002 PD.
2. In the event of retrogression (say to 2005), only those applications which have a current PD at the time of visa approval will get the green card. So 2002 PD will get GC before 2006 PD.
I hope I understood correctly?
Yes.
A 2002 PD would get GC earlier that 2006 PD, even though the 2006 PD may get EAD/AP and other benefits earlier. EAD and AP have nothing to do with PD, only I-485 depends on PD.
Just pray your labor is approved by the time the dates move forward (hopefully in October).
Also -- it doesn't hurt to be prepared -- get all documents ready asap ...

I have a BC which is issued on 2004. Do I still need 2 affidivits? My Lawyer didn't ask me to gather affidivits. Any thoughts on that?
Did anybody filing through FDBL? Any idea how long they are taking to file once they have all the documents and papers?
Thanks!
This is just my lawyers opinion, If the BC was issued/date of birth registered is after 1 year of birth, 2 affidavits are required.
Also, getting a affidavit made is fairly simple as it does not involve any governmental agency. It is a good idea to notorize it and have it on a cheap stamp paper.

I don�t buy the argument that only India and China produce the brightest people who are willing to work here in U.S. There are just as many people from Europe and the rest of the world who are just as qualified and who would want to work in the U.S. The problem starts with the H1-B visas, where most of them are taken by these Indian IT consulting companies. Correct me if I�m wrong, but I don�t think these IT companies hire non-Indian workers. There are many qualified people from the rest of the world who are willing to work here in U.S, but can�t because the majority of the H1-B visas is going to Indians and Chinese nationals. Perhaps, there should be a per-country quota at the H1-B level. I don�t think there is anything wrong with the current country quota; if some countries don�t use their quotas then these quotas roll into the countries that have higher demand.
I second that. As long as there is widespread abuse -- large numbers of Indian body-shops and consulting companies that import people by the thousands -- and as long as that skews the numbers, there should also be checks and balances -- per-country limits. Per-country limits and diversity argument are a good way to restore the balance and offset for the abuse.
I'm really tired of hearing people saying that diversity is for FB or for DV visa. What make FB immigration a better candidate for diversity?!? Absolutely nothing. The law provides for diversity in ALL immigration categories -- EB, FB, DV, etc., and there is nothing discriminatory about it. The discrimination comes from companies that abuse the system, import thousands of consulting workers with 3-year degrees who don't really have jobs but sit on the bench for 8-10 months at a time (something that's explicitly disallowed by H-1B law), and then apply for I-140/I-485 going through an unending sequence of RFE's, NOIDs, MTR's, etc. and slowing the system to a crawl. Now these people want the whole world to suffer with them by "distributing" the pain. Why?
If somebody takes care of this abuse, the remaining really qualified Indian/Chinese workers who really deserve to be here will find that they won't need a separate category because there won't be any severe backlogs for their countries.

that the current application processing range is 6-10 months after filing. Given the current economic conditions, it would be beneficial to see the application approved rather than worry about delays.
Yes.
1. For perm applications which are not audited the processing time is about 225 days (from perm filed date)
2. For perm applications which are audited the processing time is about 600 days (from perm filed date)

Yes, since H4 is tagged to your H1, you should receive your H1 approval too...Yes, you will be receiving a I-94 too along with the approval notice..The I-94 should be attached in bottom right corner on your approval notice. If you dont see an attached I-94 to your I-797 approval notice, then you will have to leave the country before your current I-94 expires and re-enter by getting a visa stamped..

The GOVT should state that those who apply for H1 should make it mandatory for the employees to be in US within 30 - 45 days of obtaining US Visas and be present in US on employment in continous increments of 1 year. And they need to show pay stubs continously.
- Then we can easily filter out WIPRO, Infosys, Consulting company from misusing. For example Wipro will apply 5000 H1s and then send people when they eventually get a project, out of 5000, may be 1000 may show up in 6 months. So In this case 4000 H1s can get invalid. Indian companies find it sending people overseas is expensive business and would enjoy offshoring projects. If the govt makes this rule, consulting companues will be forced to start paying H1 folks from Day 1, no bench period, plus "Candidates need to show up in person immdlty in US". We kill 2 birds with 1 stone. 1, dummy H1s will not be applied, 2, if they approve H1s then they have to send engineers immdlty for which they may not be really ready, since they only anticipate projects and may not need so many H1s right away !...
THis will be a sure shot solution.
