How do you say Level III and Level IV is EB2, Mine is EB2 but it is Level II
Just based on the definition given by DOL I decided Level III and Level IV to be EB2. Besides I am EB2 and my wage level is Level IV. I agree it is hard to conclude the cat based on wage level, I saw there were some Senior welders in Level III as well as Vice presidents of the companies. Quite a contradiction isn't it!!

As I was explained SSA do not classify Economic Stimumus Package as a Federal Benefit. For them Federal benefit is a recurring payment of certain amount and the Stimulus package is just one off.
Also, we should try and get our message across to IRS about dependents who can not have SSN due to the nature of visas issued (H4). IRS should update their system so that if first person filing the return has valid SSN, payment should be calculated as it would be if everyone has SSN. This would be lot more easy then issuing SSN and then filing 2008 returns with those SSNs.
Any thoughts/ feedback?
Understandable that Economic Stimumus Package is not a federal recuring benefit. However, ITIN holders (H4s) are eligible to claim child tax credit, why not this stiumuls benefit?. They should be given this benefit if they meet residency requirement. One should contact IRS to include ITIN holders to clain this benefit.

I don't know how to start a new post so place here....
I was working on a H1B.
Husband - who is the premary person applied for Green card. When his priority date was current he applied for I-485 for both of us.
After getting my EAD I started working on EAD for 1 month and got the paystubs for past one month. Now looking for new job.
Which status Am I - H1B or EAD...:confused:
Now If I am on EAD can I take a break for 3 months before the next job offer.
Thanks for your replys in advance....

for all those who complain, and say the IV core doesn't do anything. the very reason you are expression your opinions, and most everyone getting advise is because the IV core took pains to set up this forum. It takes great deal of effort, time, money, sacrifice to do something productive and useful for the masses.
If you are too much worried or frustrated with the IV core not sharing info with you, why don't you take the pain of starting a forum of your own, and see how many people will join that. You will understand what all pain you will go through.
Personally I am a donor, because I understand the sacrifice people make to get this thing going. I know nobody is making money out of my donation 'coz they'll be in deep trouble for doing that. And I am not going to complain because I am not being informed of all the actions going behind the scene. I trust the core for doing the right thing which is beneficial to all. There are few core members who have already got the GCs but are still working on this effort.
So my humble advise is "pls don't complain...nobody is under any compulsion to contribute or do anything. The request is out there for all but it's upto you to act".
---------
If you feel discriminated against, pls feel free to lodge a complaint with the DOL or USCIS (just kidding this part alone).

Showdown on Immigration
Marc Cooper
The good news is that after twenty years of inaction and demagogy, the US Senate is considering sweeping immigration reform. Behind that effort is a bipartisan consensus that grew out of a confluence of disparate factors: On the right, American business, desperate for low-wage and unskilled service workers, was clamoring to legalize the immigrant labor market; on the left, organized labor and liberals wanted an end to the illegal status of so many workers. And the sheer number of illegals now living in the United States--three times as many as a decade ago--demanded that something be done.
The bad news is that after arduously fighting its way to the top of the national legislative agenda--Senate majority leader Bill Frist fixed March 27 as the deadline for the Senate to come up with a bill--reform now threatens to be dead on arrival. Intransigence by the Republican right and a failure of nerve by Bush may have doomed a tenuous, years-long push to rewrite a current policy mired in denial and hypocrisy. "We may be on the verge of seeing the Republicans do to immigration what Hillary Clinton did to healthcare in the 1990s," said a prominent immigration attorney. "Set it back several decades."
(The ugly - expected to drag till Nov 06 - this line is my comment)
No one is willing to guess what will come out of the Senate process, no less out of any conference measure that would have to bridge the gap between the Senate and the draconian Sensenbrenner bill, already approved by the House. And if the process drags on closer to the November elections, chances for significant reform will dim considerably. Republicans, and especially the President, will be reluctant to further aggravate their internal party divisions. And even if Bush regains his confidence in pushing for reform, will Democrats--with their eyes now set on winning in November--really be ready to line up behind him?

Hi Pappu
Like me most of us would have got the reply from the Senetor or the congress man for the email that we sent. But all the replies are generic in nature and focus is on illegal immigration issue. The problems of "Legal immigrants" to my knowledge did not get their attention?. This is my observation.
Regards
GCANDGC
That is correct. The responses at most times will be generic on the subject of Immigration. Sending them hundreds and thousands of emails will work as per our advocacy strategy.
You may want to do a couple of things.
1. Call up the lawmaker office now and thank them for responding to the email.
Tell them your concerns. Follow the talking points from http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum85-action-items-for-everyone/1391371-cir-national-phone-campaign-29th-april-2010-to-14th-may-2010-a.html
2. Come to DC to take part in the advocacy day event. This is your opportunity to take your emails a step further and now talk to the staffers. Emails are good to create an awareness. Now it is time to step it up further and make an impact that will be thousand time greater via face to face meetings in DC with the lawmaker office. Meeting in DC has more impact than say meeting in your state local office of the lawmaker.
Nevertheless keep sending emails daily so that it helps generate awareness in every lawmaker office and help us in the next steps of advocacy.

Hello guys!
I wanted to volunteer a thought that had been in my head, so I am basically thinking out loud here for a bit, just throwing this out there for your guidance, tell me if you think this is too aggressive, or even premature?
I think we need another rally before the end of the year. There are 2 reasons:
1- Presidential campaigns: After this Fall, presidential campaigns will be in full swing, and thus commanding all the attention of Congress, the media and the American public.
2- Memory: People's memories are short. Now that we have the attention of the media and Capitol Hill, wouldn't it make sense that this is the time to redouble our efforts and push harder? If we wait, the iron might just cool off.
Having said that, and as we know, a rally means a lot of money, a lot of work, a lot of dedication to organize. Yet, no one said our struggle was easy, and other people and groups who have gone through tough struggles have had to go through extraordinary lengths to achieve their goals.
So, if we were to hypothetically hold a second rally this Fall, we could go for the "low-hanging fruit", i.e. we can hold the rally where the most of us live, such as Silicon Valley (and we know those folks really come through), we can plan to reach attendance to this event in the tens of thousands. I know we might not have enough time, and the people who worked so hard on the DC rally are probably exhausted. But, what if we just focus on an area where there are a LOT of us, and do a "no-frills" rally? Just get the police permits and show up. Our numbers will do the rest.
I would give some days to Attendees and particularly to IV core team to analyze the rally events, meetings in their entirty and come up with the conclusions mainly for 3 things. And I request everybody to funnel data to core team centrally and the same way conclusion and future action list funnelled to members.
- What we could REALLY achieve
- How loud we could be heard
- Any potential and positive impact in near future?
- Based on all of above making near future strategy
Note: One thing I want to bring everybody's attention that from November Elections will slowly be given priority by every media and so we may have to come up with careful strategy not having any conflict with election realted major events.

can you please post the article?
Thanks
Based on last week's BusinessWeek article, I have a feeling that we will see an effort to restrict initial H1B applications in some way. That would be a good opportunity to push for allowing naturalization applications for people who have been on work visas for a long time (say 8-10 yrs?). Fighting for citizenship would have a stronger emotional dimension and may connect better with the American public. A direct filing for citizenship will work around retrogression by providing an avenue for people to move out of the GC queue.

AC 21 and EAD are two completely disjoint things.
You can invoke AC 21 and switch to a different job and you could either use your EAD to join the new emplyer or even transfer your h1b to the new employer.

Why people in the forum still asking people to convert from EB-3 to EB-2?
This is not the SOLUTION!! It will only make things worser and worse...
If people keep converting their EB-3 to EB-2 then what about those EB-3 filers that file their application in earlier years? they will keep stucking in the line forever! THAT's not FAIR!
It is not the time to blame EB-2 or USCIS! IT is the time to dicuss an effective way to to distribute the visa no. effectively.
DO SOMETHING CONSTRCUCTIVE! NOT ONLY FOR YOURSELF! BUT FOR ALL THE VISA/ GC APPLICANTS!

Here are some of my own personal thoughts:
How can one tell a percentage number for something to pass? What kind of data can we base our calculations on?
Who said EB3 India will not forward next year? Did DOS say that? An individual lawyer is not Dept. Of State. I would like to see a written proof from DOS saying this so that we can plan ahead.
There were many naysayers for the July 2007 bulletin. But IV was able to get it current again. So stop believing in predictions and believe in yourself.
Thanks for your time and response!
I thought that anyone close to the bill processes or people who work on those, should be able to predict; probably know by now if this (HR 5882) is going to happen or not. Pappu, I bet you must be in a better position than me to know (not to decide, ofcourse) about the plight of this bill. I would be surprised if you deny.
It wasn't Ron's mere prediction but based on his discussion with Charles Oppenheim.
http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5456
This is what he understands from the conversation:
The strong impression that I took away from the converstaion, and this is only my interpretation, not what was said explicity, is the following:
The good news: the CIS backlog isn't as big as previously feared and their productivity is at an all time high;
More good news: China EB3 had almost caught up with worldwide EB3 and is likely to do so next year;
The bad news: when visa numbers become available again, India EB3 is going to be back where it was almost a year ago and it is not likely to move forward much in the next fiscal year.
More bad news: 40% to 45% of the entire backlog is Indian EB2 and EB3.
And barring, July 2007, EB3 I has moved only inches in the last 2-3 years and that's how much it would move in the next 2-3 years (and that's assuming a similar efficiency pattern that USCIS exhibited this year).
I am not trying to open a new can of worms here but reminding of an old one that is already existing - EB3 India. The most priviliged to remain in this god damn queue for as long as they wish and even beyond that.

As the bill stands today, you are correct and unfortunately that will do more harm than any help. so we all should try to eliminate this potential trouble
what does this mean ?
assuming 290000 seats passed of which 35 % is EB3 .. would make it 101500 seats.. if country restriction is 10% then it would mean just 10150.. is my understanding correct. . ?
does the specter bill have any country limitations... ?
