I got this message from senator Mark R Warner
Thank you for contacting me regarding our nation's immigration system. I appreciate the benefit of your views on this important issue.
Our current immigration system is broken, which is why I believe Congress should work to pass bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform. Comprehensive immigration reform should include policies to secure our nation's borders, curb future illegal immigration, establish an effective employer verification system and find a practical solution for the millions of illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S.
I do not believe that illegal immigrants should gain an unfair advantage from their actions. Any effort to earn legal status must include paying back taxes, a fine or penalty and taking steps to learn English. Reform should also not penalize those individuals who have followed the law and are here legally.
On April 23, 2010, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law Arizona State Bill 1070, which grants broad powers to local law enforcement officials to determine and request proof of legal status of anyone suspected of violating federal immigration laws. The enactment of this new law is yet another sign that the federal government needs to act to fix our broken immigration system rather than allowing for a state-by-state patchwork of laws and ordinances. I also believe Arizona's law raises civil rights concerns, fails to recognize the economic contributions of legal immigrant workers, and harms our nation's ability to attract entrepreneurs from around the world who create jobs here in the United States.
Our nation faces many tough challenges. Immigration reform is a complicated and difficult issue but the current system is not working. We must put our differences aside to create a better system. Again, thank you for writing. As we move forward in the 111th Congress, please continue to contact me with your opinions and concerns.
Sincerely,
MARK R. WARNER
United States Senator

In which case, the employer is accountable for the employees. If the employer is honest, there will not be any employees who can take advantage of the employer's crookedness.
So, if there are a few good employees (which will be rare), they will have to bear the brunt. Kind of collateral damage. I feel sorry for those people, but I don't know what we can do about them. I'm sure that fraud employer is taking advantage of them too.

If you file today it will be past october when you have to choose between EB2 and EB3 (I485 stage for EB2) till that time you have both the process going on EB2 and EB3.
If you start EB2 process in October it will take 6 to 9 months to clear labor and I 140..
It is taking average of 1 year for I140. And there is a possibility of PERM audit , which can derail all your plans.

What I meant to say, you�ll succeed if you have the capability (with your professional knowledge, experience and skills) in your professional filed but definitely not with USCIS.
I can say, USCIS is a great leveler in this aspect. Everybody from PhD to Programmer is same in front of USCIS. All have to wait 10+ yrs with mental tension and anxiety, no matter what your caliber is and how successful you are in your profession.
Don�t get me wrong here. I also had to suffer for visa stamping, renewals, I-94 issues, PA etc in US Visa processing (nothing sever though). At the 5th yr of H1-B, I just decided.. to hell with that.....
I don't know about you guys, but, I would be heart patient with that kind of anxiety in another 5 yrs of GC process �. Really need a lion's heart to pursue US GC now days
i completely agree with u.......waiting 10-12 years for a plastic card keeping everything on hold and renewing EAD,AP every other year.......h1b stamping........all that paperowork.......working ur a** out for the same employer for xx years........keeping track of excruciatingly slow movement of PDs in monthly bulletin.........feel like i am already in ICU man.........is this a life?????

I read it, not to redicule you but, look who is quoting murthy! :D :D
Its convenient han!
I do not want to go back and forth with you guys. I rest it and thanks for posting the link.
There is a reason, I said read it and understand it. I don't think you have understood it.
I was referring to the opinion letter by Efren Hernandez, Chief (at that time), Business and Trade Services Branch. How does it matter if it was response to a query by lawyer.
Just because I don't agree with a lawyer on a particular issue, it does not mean that I have to disagree with all other issues as well. Do you think that attorney is correct all the time?
The bottom line is that opinion letter is written by a USCIS officer and that I was referring it. And most important of all, you were proven wrong, again. That is the real reason of you being upset.
Have a good day!

Mr. Gotcher posts this today.
Controversy over calculation of "fall across" visa numbers (http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4610)
Long to short, Mr. Gotcher thinks the explanation of Apr. VB is an error.
I will just quote the last two paragraphs. If you are interested with this topic, you can follow the link to see detail.
************************************************
This is where the controversy arises. Do these provision require the Visa Office to let unused visa number from higher preference categories “fall down” into lower preference categories before being made available to single state quotas, or can they move unused numbers from a worldwide preference category over to single state quotas while there is still demand in the lower worldwide categories?
The Visa Office interpretation is that if there are unused numbers within a specific worldwide category, those numbers may be made available to single state quotas even if lower worldwide preference categories have visa cutoff dates because they are oversubscribed. I believe that this is an error.

IV core team,
Whats the plan of action given that CIR is dead for now?The best would be to try to attach a small relief like S.1932 in 2005 to some budget appropriations bill.Even SKIL will gather lot of unnecessary attention.Did we spend all our funding on this lost cause and need to contribute again?If so its better to start now as IV got lot of new users.
As I said my numbers are not accurate, there are lot of visas unused since retrogression, we need to take look at this and spent more time researching and contacting right organization

Irrespective of whether or not cheapass desi sw consulting companies have spoilt it for the rest of us, the point here is that making us wait for an unreasonably long time is something we ought to question..which is what I believe IV is doing
I dont mind if the congress passes a bill and says it's going to take 6 yrs for a person to get his GC..its the uncertainty around retrogression thats bugging me. If I know it's going to take 6 or 8 or 10 yrs, i'd gladly look elsewhere..perhaps even go back to my home country.

Seems like this is just a Republican backed bill. Dems will fight this or insist that some provisions for illegals be included as well. Also once elections are over it is possible that the Dems will be majority and then this bill gets kicked to the side.
is it not sad to see voting trends decide stuff like this.
I do hope to one day vote in this country (I voted in every election in my home country after I became eligible).
If the dems do "kill the SKIL", they would have definitely lost my vote in the future. I know it is inconsequential compared to the millions they will gain from the illegals becoming legal. but in my small way, that will be my protest.

i would like to move away from the focal issue of rally participation for a moment- only to broaden the question. yes i perfectly realize that there are many motivated members that had genuine compulsions of various kinds that did not allow them to consider being in DC. i could be one of them tomorrow. i also know that they are not the majority of non attendees. still, to again answer a previous question, 2,000 registrations was a pretty good number from a crowd that likes things handed out to them. my question though is related to other iv activities. going to a rally is a bigger decision, true. so how many of those who are espousing moralistic platitudes about "cheapening" and "not associating real people with userid's" or blaming chandu's words have participated in other actions? have you joined a state chapter? are you active in it? did you attend a meeting if you belong to an active chapter? if you have no chapter did you volunteer to start one? did you volunteer for pre rally activities? have you met your local lawmaker?
i could go on, but those are key questions. those who complain about trivia need to step up and show their own commitment. the way of this country is to petition government by lobbying your lawmakers. nothing cheap about that one. in fact it's an incredible experience, open and educational to say the least.
you and i do not participate in these things because "he said and she said', we do it for ourselves. please always remember that. set aside egos for a larger motive and see if it feels good....
for days i bumped the state chapters thread up with minimal response. here was an opportunity to meet others like you and plan these meetings together. what's the good reason for that apathy?
the window is not closed. this is a long journey. i urge you to join your chapters or to create one. you will find it a rewarding experience..
i will be happy to provide details and answer questions on this from anyone interested.
