Thanks GCBY3000 !!!
I am in for $100.
By the way if we have 20,000 members and even if each pledge $5, we can reimburse the core team expenses. How often we have to teach and tell the Math to our so called highly skilled free riders.
Some should be feeling really guilty for using IV and not contributing till now. Come out the stingy attitude and help.

Yes, but the immigration hearings already happened. People already have a clear indication on what the public wants. Lou Dobbs is still out there reminding them. Honestly, I wish us good luck, but I am not sure.
Ombudsman, you forgot one important point however.
If the Dems do win the house, the speaker will be a Dem. and she will set the agenda to be discussed and voted upon. Also the ranking members on the various comittees will also be Dems. Therefore they will make the decisions such as, when and how to discuss these measures in committee, when and with whom to hold congressional hearings(expert testimony), when to go to conference and which representatives to to go to conference, and so on, these things influence the legislative process as much as votes do.
The bottomline is House Republicans had a fair shot at this and decided against any changes, I can't see how them returning is going to solve a thing. Immigration is one of the few issues that the Upper House and the Pres. can agree with a democratic congress on. Issues such as Soc. Security, healthcare etc will certainly end up in gridlock as the republican strategist Ed Rollins points out.

1) First of all this is not the response to just the quoted post, but many on the same lines, especially from delax and others.
2)I believe that that whole process is so screwed up that it is never fair and never will be. Irrespective of what Eb3s hope for and try , Eb2 folks are going to get their GCs and Eb3s will have to wait until stars align for them.
3) I don't really care one way or other , because what you wish,hope or try to do will have no bearing on the outcome.
<Those who think 2 year EADs are because of your letters , stay in the dreamland - ignorance is bliss >
4) I am really happy for Eb2 folks (No way jealous) , just pissed by some attitude here.
Now that I have the disclaimers out of the way, Here is what I have to say:
Why the heck you never made the argument that "law is law" and "There is no compassion" before law crap when you were retrogressed ?
What happened to what law says , when attempts were made to grab visas from ROW with the same "It is not fair" argument ?
What is the yardstick for EB2 ? It is just what your employer says it is. I know so many in body shops with Eb2 apps while others languish in Eb3 queue.
You can't extend the logic to all EB1 categories. At least in some of the EB categories one has to have published research work in peer reviewed journals.
Will give you an example :
Know some one who came here as postdoc with PHD in life sciences (zoology) and self filed for GC EB1and now runs an Indian grocery just after being in job for less than a year. How do you justify that GC is in the interest of US than a person who is working in a company for 10 years ?
It is true that the original number is broken up equally among all categories but the INA clearly states that if the demand within a category is not sufficient to use up all the visas in that category then the excess should be made available without any regard to country limit in that category. Here's a fact from the July bulletin - not an opinion:
There have been questions raised regarding the way numbers have been provided to the China and India in the Employment Second preference categories beginning in April. Section 202(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act states that if total demand for visas in an Employment preference category is insufficient to use all available visa numbers in that category in a calendar quarter, then the unused numbers may be made available without regard to the annual per-country limit. (For example: If the second preference annual limit were 40,000, number use by “All Other Countries” were estimated to be only 25,000, and the China/India combined number use based on their per-country limits were 6,000, then there would be 9,000 numbers unused. Those 9,000 numbers could then be made available to China and India applicants without regard to their per-country limits.)
I dont buy the argument that length of wait (as implied in the letter) should determine eligibility for approval disregarding the clear categorization established by law AFTER the initial handout is made on an equal basis. I have always maintained that any logic used to justify shifting visas between EB2 and EB3 purely based on the length of wait can also easily be used between EB2 and EB1. The fact that EB1 has never retrogressed does not matter. Unfortunately LAW is an absolute entity - there is no compassionate interpretation in civil and common law.
If a EB3-2002 is approved before EB2-2004 purely based on length of wait and ignoring the categorization after the initial handout then the same logic or rationale can be used to approve EB2-2004 before EB1-2007 by 'holding back' the visa from the EB1 candidate and giving it to EB2.
I dont think either of us is interested in going down the path of EB2 versus EB3 but to the extent this letter implies/attempts to do that, it is detrimental to the functioning of this group. Cheers

I thought we have made immense progress with regard to our moral standards so that one does not have to necessarily make significant personal sacrifices to upholds ones way of life and independence. That is why I believe this is be kind of a Civil rights/Equal Employment kind of case.
It could be argued that the supreme court has given the government authority to discriminate based on country of origin for immigration purposes.
Supreme Court does not give the Government the authority - Supreme Court does not make laws - the legislature (Congress) does - the judiciary can review the laws and decide that it violates the fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution for Citizens or go against the basic fabric of the Constitution
That could easily be justified for new people coming into the country. Albiet it is slightly different from the case of most of us, those who are already in the process at some stage. In our case, DOS/DOL/USCIS acknowledge that we should be granted permanent residence (based on Labor) and even on such basis, is willing to extend our visas/work status indefinitely. However, we are being limited to not change employer (in case 485 is not applied) and to not change the field of work (in case 485 is applied). I think this can be argued as a violation of Equal Employment Oppurtunity by the government by a competent lawyer. Employer cannot be forced to process any immigration related paperwork against its wishes - otherwise it would infringe upon their fundamental rights as a registered business entity incorporated within US; nor can the employer be forced to take a risk that it would spend time and money hiring and training someone on EAD only to risk losing that person in a year if the 485 gets denied and so on.Even if the court does not do anything, it will go a long way in people and common people realising these issues.
I was surprised to find that even my cousin (who has been here since 1980) did not realise that the situation is so bad until we had a discussion about my status last christmas. Most just assume that a small minority of people with wierd/complicated cases are held up for longer then 2-3-4 years.
I am bringing these out not because I am opposed to equal treatment of folks on H1/ EAD etc - but because there are legitimate arguments both ways and unless we can prove unequivocally that there is gross miscarriage of justice in denying us this right and on the other hand - there is no disadvantage caused to anybody else by granting us this right - this idea is unlikely to see the light of the day
while i am happy to be proven wrong - i do not see anyone in this forum having a stomach for a protracted legal battle starting with lower courts and going all the way to Supreme Court - going back to my previous point - we do not see this as a "larger than me" cause

Employer can revoke I-140 anytime until I-485 is approved. After 180 calendar days of I-485 filing date, employee can continue I-485 seeking AC-21 protection . Employee must have open permanent job offer from another employer. The new job must be same or similar.

Problem with that argument once you own more than 5% of the company you will have file as investor. If your wife owns the company then you will have file under relative category. There were denials based on this.
Total BS. Do you have any reference link for case denials?
You are confusing filing new I-140 with employer (where beneficiary has >5% share) with AC-21 job change.

If u want to be fair, fight to remove country quota and not fight among EB categories
I agree with you vin13, remove country quota or by number of years we are legally here in US.
Base on PD is not fare enough. Many of us filed GC vary late because of one or many reasons.

Here is one link -

Here is relevant quote from there
Employer must pay the H-1B employee the required wage no later than 30 days from the H1 B employee's entry into the U.S., or 60 days from the approval date of the visa petition if the H1 B employee is already in the U.S.

It is frustrating to see that there is a campaign going on to allow for 485 filing even when pd is current and another thread running that says another fiasco would be bad .... everybody talks/writes/feels only as "what benefits them is good, everything else is not worthwhile or bad"
True the chance of another July 2007 happening is very dim as USCIS has learnt their lesson. Also they have a better estimation of the pending count.
I myself have EAD and i support 485 filing without priority date getting current. Even though in the final GC scheme of things that puts a whole bunch of more peope ahead of me, I still support it. At least an EAD lets you chnage a job after 180 days albeit in the same job specification.
Maybe IV Core has some idea about that (485 filing without PD current) and how it will pan out. Talk to them

When ever IV go and seek advise from Law firm or lobby firm they charge some money. No one is giving free advise in USA. We cannot run random campaign becasue people will not participate if no out come. We need to find out perfect time. Also we , and IV are common people who came from foriegn country and have no idea of whole US immigration system but law / lobby firm do.
If you and other sincere member contribute and participate activelly we may achive something. May be just giving few USD will not help. But there were so many anti coming to site and harming our agenda. since we have donor forum few anti come there. So if you are serious do contribute and get donor status. Participate in state chapter and work with IV and all of us. That will make date current for all.
So who is the leader who is responsible of DOING stuff with that money when I contribute

Hello <TV station name>:
I am writing to you to give you a heads-up on a news story which is
about to happen on July 10th 2007. If you have been following the
issue of Immigration in the news lately, the United States Citizenship
and Immigration Services (USCIS) along with the Department of
State(DoS) announced an update to the July Visa bulletin essentially
eliminating any chances to apply for "Adjustment of Status" aka. the
last stage of the Green Card/Permanent Residency process. This
bulletin was was originally published during the mid month of June
inviting all legal immigrants to apply for Permanent Residency.
The Visa bulletin is a formal communication method to all Immigration
adjudication officers and personnel in National and International
consular offices of the United States of America, advising the
personnel of the availability of Permanent Resident visas which are
capped at 140,000 a year worldwide. The system has already forced many
delays and approx. 400,000 applications are back-logged.
This update was released on July 2nd, the first business day for the
month of July. Thousands of dollars were spent in legal fees and
medical examination fees by some 200,000 highly skilled legal
immigrants who chose to follow the rules and abide by the laws.
Several lawsuits have been filed against USCIS and DoS asking for
reimbursement of legal and medical expenses by AILF (American
Immigration Law Foundation) and AILA (American Immigrant Lawyers
Association).
The Legal immigrant community backed by ImmigrationVoice.org (a 15,000
strong group representing the Highly Skilled Legal Immigrants
Community) is resorting to a unique way of protesting this decision.
We have decided to take a leaf out of Mahatma Gandhi's book and send a
dozen flowers to the USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez as a way of
protesting against this debacle brought upon by the high handedness of
the two departments.
Please find attached the Press release from ImmigrationVoice detailing
this protest.
As always, you folks at <TV Station> have always given unbiased coverage to
events, both local and nation wide. I hope you will cover this story
and bring to light this case of cheating by the USCIS and Dept. of
State.

I am writing to you to give you a heads-up on a news story which is
about to happen on July 10th 2007. If you have been following the
issue of Immigration in the news lately, the United States Citizenship
and Immigration Services (USCIS) along with the Department of
State(DoS) announced an update to the July Visa bulletin essentially
eliminating any chances to apply for "Adjustment of Status" aka. the
last stage of the Green Card/Permanent Residency process. This
bulletin was was originally published during the mid month of June
inviting all legal immigrants to apply for Permanent Residency.
The Visa bulletin is a formal communication method to all Immigration
adjudication officers and personnel in National and International
consular offices of the United States of America, advising the
personnel of the availability of Permanent Resident visas which are
capped at 140,000 a year worldwide. The system has already forced many
delays and approx. 400,000 applications are back-logged.
This update was released on July 2nd, the first business day for the
month of July. Thousands of dollars were spent in legal fees and
medical examination fees by some 200,000 highly skilled legal
immigrants who chose to follow the rules and abide by the laws.
Several lawsuits have been filed against USCIS and DoS asking for
reimbursement of legal and medical expenses by AILF (American
Immigration Law Foundation) and AILA (American Immigrant Lawyers
Association).
The Legal immigrant community backed by ImmigrationVoice.org (a 15,000
strong group representing the Highly Skilled Legal Immigrants
Community) is resorting to a unique way of protesting this decision.
We have decided to take a leaf out of Mahatma Gandhi's book and send a
dozen flowers to the USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez as a way of
protesting against this debacle brought upon by the high handedness of
the two departments.

Reform Immigration For America
Organizations � Reform Immigration For America (http://reformimmigrationforamerica.org/blog/about/organizations/)
A lot of big organizations there in list.
So if IV is their partner, is our agenda part of their list? Not sure. If not, could we ensure that it is ? And, is it OK to send fax on their behalf as well? I guess it will be, IF our items are present..
