What's going on here is that approx there are 500,000 people on H1B visas in this country.
If Anti-H1 crowd propose a bill to throw all of them out, people will laugh at them and ask them to get lost.
So what the anti-H1 crowd has done here is "Slow bleed" as described by admin. Get rid of 8000-10,000 H1Bs out of the country each month. That way, the impact will slow and it wont send any shockwaves. IF existing H1s go to renew their H1 and the new rules apply, half of them wont fit in the new rules of "You cannot do consulting". So they will have to go back.
These guys are trying to do what UK did to Indian and Chinese doctors. They want all of us to go back. Only difference between what UK did to doctors and what these guys want to do to us is that these guys are smarter and they are trying to get this done in slow motion. IF they take Tancredo like approach of "Everyone out, and shut the door", then it wont work.
They have learned from Tancredo's mistake and now have adoped this slow bleed strategy of getting rid of their competition.
If desi bodyshops are punished this way, then all of us will also be punished. This is not the right way to stop abuse. The right way to stop abuse is to allow more portability between jobs and retention of PDs, etc.
By making consulting totally illegal, they are going too far and the fallout will be felt by H1B employees also.
Basically, they want the 1990s back. They want to roam in job market with foriegn competition, where even high-school drop-outs can get jobs of $100,000 a year by writing 20 lines of code per week.
Man up you xenophobes. Face the competition and stop being whiny boys running to Grassley and Sessions every time you lose jobs. Get a job and get a life. Unemployment rate is 4.4 %. If you cant find jobs right now, dont blame H1B employees. Something is wrong with you.

So much so for this roller coaster ride. Here's the political trend I'm seeing for immigration related bills
If a senator introduces a immigration bill, Its put off until CIR. All immigration related bills should be together.
But, when CIR comes to discussion, everyone knows it would never get passed. Too much opposition.
Is this because of color. May be.

I will answer some of your questions to the best of my knowledge.
There is also a lot of information on advocacy on the top of this page, 'Advocacy' tab.
Red threads are action items started and approved by admin/core. donor threads say "donor forum" on the title.
Admins are still in the process of organizing, and a lot of this can be done only once we finalize most of the volunteers and donations collected - it will depend on this.
Contributions are optional and no money is expected from volunteers, except what you spend for your own stay and travel. Of course every one knows There ain't no such thing as a free lunch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_ain%27t_no_such_thing_as_a_free_lunch). people still do wish though!
The only free lunch is meeting your local lawmakers as they are obliged to listen to your issues. That is the only thing we have asked most people to do in large numbers
Business dress code should be good enough. We are trying to convey we are high skilled immigrants and future entrepreneurs who create jobs.
You're right most lawmakers don't even know we have a problem and the reason is we as a community are not reaching out to them. Representatives of house change every 2 years.
Thanks for your efforts. Employer support is very important in conveying our issues. Large companies have their own political lobbying group. Support of citizens and Green card holders helps a lot.
We still need a lot of volunteers all over the country, who are ready to work and not just post brilliant ideas on online forums.
Everyone has to work and spread information. Its no good saying why doesn't core do this or that and everything else.
Dear All,
First of all I am pleased to inform you that I will certainly attend the advocacy campaign. This will be my first participation. I am eager and hope to make it. I have also started making travel / stay arrangements.

Yes after Logiclife gave an update I was not anymore excited about it and did not want to loose sleep over it. Thats because I trust IV. But its always good to clear the facts. Anyways, we should keep working for our goal and hope for some improvement in retrogression.
Just kidding with you ..... Jaane de
We all trust them... What I meant was if IV core said then why we increase our anxiety. I have seen many a times that the office people do not know what is going on. They are like the biased media, and utter only those words that they have been given.
Who voted, where attached... current status is far from there reach

He meant that 140k Visa numbers allocated each year, out of which less number Visas are actually processed by CIS, all the unused visa numbers in the past which might be more than 300k should be used now to reduce the backlog.
Totoro,
CIS did not issue all those 140K visas for past sevaral years despite of the fact that there were more than 140K applications pending with them during all those years. Those visa numbers were lost and the applications accumulated over the period of time due to inefficient USCIS process.
This is what ombudsman said about this issue and I quote
"For example, when employment-based visas are not used during the year they are authorized, they are lost and are not available for future use without special legislation. In FY 06, over 10,000 employment-based visas were lost, even though USCIS had an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 pending applications for employment-based green cards.36 Based on USCIS use of visa numbers as of May 2007, at present consumption rates approximately 40,000 visas will be lost in FY 07 without a dramatic increase in USCIS requests of visa numbers.37 As illustrated below, since 1994 there have been over 218,000 un-recaptured employment-based visas lost due to underutilization of the employment-based visas. " end quote.
Here's the link to all the issues raised by ombudsman in 2007 annual report.

Great job Totoro!! Thanks.
Here are the examples I presented (lightly edited). Anyone wanting to meet with lawmakers should feel free to use as much of these documents as needed.
Examples
Case 1 (Waiting 10 years):
- i left a very well-paid job after 5 years in multi-nationals before coming to US in 1999.
- Did dual Masters from a top engineering school + business certification
- Brought into US $25000 from savings abroad for my studies; Took $25K More as a private loan and have paid it off long back.
- Never considered myself underpaid in USA. My compensation is amongst the best.
- Have owned a house since 2002 and raising two US born kids, of course paid taxes for 9 years.
Now,
- it is the quality of life AND the quality of PEOPLE that i wanted to work with: one of the reasons why i came to US.
- Would like to buy a larger house and can certainly afford it today with a credit score over 800.
- Would like to start my own company, or try to do something different & more strategic for a job function.
However,
i have been in the EB3 queue since 2004, with no respite in sight. All is clear except that there are no visa numbers available.
The issue as you all agreed to - is that this is painfully slow and everyone like me is stuck with one employer and the same job.
As employers and their lawyers often decide when and in which category a candidate can apply, the employee is left at their mercy. It is understandable if an employer is sponsoring, they must benefit for their investment. Question is how? is 5 years of 'must-serve-us' good enough, or 10, or 15? When can an employee have the mobility?
Why is it that someone with equal or less qualification / experience can become a US citizen 5 to 10 years before me? Just because they were born in a different country? Because their employer decided a faster EB category? Because they married a US citizen?
I love America and remain grateful for the opportunities it has provided.
However, I have trained a lot of US citizens / GC holders who have gone far ahead in career, and I am still doing the same.
Liberty seems only a statue at times.
Case 2 Engineer (Waiting 15 years):
I have been in this country for more than 15 years and still waiting for the GC...I have never been out of status all along...Here is my story...
I came to US in 1994 fall to attend graduate school and started working from 1997 as transportation engineer. I applied for green card in 1998, but unfortunately the rules were different and the goal post seems to change every time.
During that time all engineering fields were clubbed together (computers, mechanical, civil etc.) under one generic field for labor certification purposes and therefore the wage requirement was much higher than what a typical transportation engineer would make at that time. Therefore my labor was denied. After talking to my immigration lawyer I was left with two options...Pick up a job that paid the asking labor certification wage (which was skewed and next to impossible) or send additional documentation and references to convince the dept of labor that transportation engineers do not make that much money and that I am being paid more than the prevailing wage for 'transportation engineers'. . After I send additional paperwork to dept of labor based on the suggestion given by my lawyer, what if the dept of labor still denied my labor? I would have been back to square one, and moreover I would have lost a year or two on H1 status. Please note that at that time you had ONLY 6 yrs of H1 visa and it COULD NOT BE EXTENDED EVEN YOUR IMMIGRATION PAPERWORK WAS PENDING. The above rule came later (instance of goal post moving), but I had to make my decision based on what the rules were at that time. So I decided to go back to school in 1999 and attended graduate school to get a computer science degree.
In late 2000, I joined a company in CA and resumed my paperwork for the green card. My labor was approved and filed for 140 and 140 was also approved in 2002. In 2005, my spouse started to work full-time and started the green card process. We finally applied 485s in 2007, but are still waiting for the approvals. It took CIS almost A YEAR to get our EADs! That too after many calls, letters and contacting the local senator! What an inefficient bureaucracy!
When the economy was good, I was helpless with CIS rules and its bureaucracy. By the time I received my EAD, the economy is in shambles now...In the process, I had nothing to show for the past 5 yrs!
Few years back there was a pilot program at TSC where they issued FB green cards under fast track. I personally know someone who applied for their parents, and they got their green cards within 60 days! Their parents never visited US before and during their first ever visitor's visit, they have their green cards? Here I am, came to US in 1994, attended graduate schools, paid tuition, contributed to research, paid my taxes, never was out of status and most importantly, played by the rules, but I am still waiting in this mess!
Case 3 Partner (Waiting 14 years):
I've been here for 14 years now; and my wife for 9, legally for every single day. We have two US graduate degrees each. We have paid over $100,000 in federal income tax alone, in each of the last few years. We own our home. Our child was born here. I am a partner at my firm. And we have many wonderful friends here. But we continue to wait indefinitely for our green cards. Citizenship seems an impossible dream at this point.
Any provision that would bring us closer to citizenship (such as "citizenship fastrack for those who've legally been in the US for more than 10 years" and/or "paid taxes for N years" and/or "earned US graduate degrees" etc) would be very welcome.

US IMMIGRATION CLIENT ALERT
June 28, 2007
Employment-Based Immigrant Visa Numbers
May Become Unavailable Sooner Than Expected
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
It has been reported that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has indicated that employment-based numbers may be exhausted sooner than expected and could become unavailable or subject to new retrogression during the month of July. USCIS reportedly has sufficient numbers of immigrant cases in its adjudications pipeline to meet the reported 40,000 employment-based visa numbers that remain for Fiscal Year (FY) 2007. If employment-based numbers become unavailable in mid-month, USCIS could cease accepting applications for adjustment of status before the end of the July, though it is not yet possible to predict when this could occur.
It has been reported and unofficially confirmed by FRAGOMEN that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has indicated that employment-based immigrant visa numbers may be exhausted sooner than expected and could become unavailable or subject to new retrogression during the course of the month of July. This would be contrary to information in the July Visa Bulletin issued by the Department of State, which stated projected availability through the month of July.
Agency representatives have reportedly stated that USCIS has sufficient numbers of employment-based immigrant cases that are ready to be approved and counted against the estimated 40,000 employment-based numbers that remain for Fiscal Year (FY) 2007. USCIS has not officially confirmed these reports. Our understanding is that discussions on the issue of visa availability have been escalated to a high level in the government and we will continue to seek definitive information.
There has been speculation that a change in anticipated demand may be the result of inaccurate projections by the government about the number of employment-based cases that are both ready for approval and have completed security checks.
If employment-based numbers become unavailable, it is likely that USCIS would stop accepting applications for adjustment of status, regardless of the information contained in the July Visa Bulletin. It is also possible that the State Department could release a Supplemental Visa Bulletin that updates its forecasts of visa availability. Though it is possible that USCIS would continue to accept adjustment applications through July despite visa unavailability, this appears to be unlikely.
As previously mentioned, it is our understanding that discussions are underway both within USCIS and between USCIS and the Department of State, and FRAGOMEN continue to seek more definitive information. We will issue additional Client Alerts as new information becomes available. If you have any questions about this Client Alert, please contact your designated FRAGOMEN professional.

What about those "lucky" creatures who worked for a desi employer? Desi employer ALWAYS file EB2, regardless of wht the requirement is. It is only the legitimate companies that actually bother about the "requirement" to file an EB2.
Anyways, its a moot point to have this discussion, since its not helping anyone's cause.
its probably the other way around..... desi employers usually file in eb3 so that they can have a grip on their employee for longer period of time... other employers may sometime weigh in the merit of the application resulting in eb2......
btw, they r all legitimate companies.... there is no illegitimate company..... u may not like them..... that does not make them illegitimate..... u could ask guys at cisco, msft or any of the large companies..... they all luv working with tcs, infosys patni etc....

My simple way of looking at it is the way it happened in June-July 2007. Why did they open the gates? To use up the VISA numbers for the FY.
What can they do to do the same this year? Open it again (may not make it current but to the extent they can use 140000 by Sep 30 2008).
As most 485 applications will notbe processed for another 6-9 months (among Jun-Aug filers), dates will move forward (may become current as well) and whoever has their 485, name check processed will get their GC besides all pending at CP.
They definitely do not have 140000 processed, name-check-completed 485 applications at hand. Hence dates will move.
I dont think the dates will become current anytime soon (we are talking years now) reason being... they have more information now then had earlier this year (they now know exactly how many and what year PD's)...

AILA talks about the letter:
http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22870
"The Department's unprecedented decision to reject adjustment of status applications has caused needless hardship and disruption to countless immigrants," noted Rep. Zoe Lofgren. "It has also come to my attention that USCIS began returning visa numbers to the State Department as early as Thursday, July 5, 2007, due to their inability to review applications effectively. The Department of Homeland Security has once again demonstrated its inability to complete even its core missions. This debacle demonstrates the need for more transparency and oversight of the department's operations and procedures."
-------------------------
what does returning visa numbers mean? does that mean they still have visa numbers available, if that's the case they can't reject our applications :mad:
