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!!

India would be a good option for an Indian. For others I still think Canada and Australia are are the best options after US, in terms of standard of living, quality of life etc. It will take India decades more to achieve the same standards.
Actually its the quality of life why people are here on H1B.
Barring that I dont see other reason.

To everyone who thinks rallies dont make a difference, as illustrated here by a skeptic : http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=13583
This is not an attack post. Or a criticizing post. This is purely educational and please keep this thread clean.
I know there are many out there who are snickering in their cubicles looking at the pictures of the rally and thinking "Look at these idiots, they think Congress will pass SKIL bill because they walked 1.2 miles with some placards and banners".
Such thinking is reasonable. But only if you dont know how things work.
Here is why rally of Sept 18th will be consequential:
1. When you do a rally, people notice. People recognize organization and measure its strength. It stays in their heads for a long time and they keep Immigration Voice as one of the organizations they can ask for support when they push for their own cause. In Congress, things work based on compromise, consensus and consultation. People dont just sponsor legislations they believe in. They run it thru their caucus and leadership and do a vote count. To find out how many votes would they get if they came up with this new idea. Whether it will get 218 votes in House. Whether they will get 51 votes in senate. If its filibuster proof and get 61 votes in Senate. Whether it has committee support. Whether leadership offices are in agreement to put it in schedule. All this happens in background and there are people who are hired in committees just to do vote counts on proposed ideas. IF it turns out they dont find enough support, they drop it. If they think they can pull it off, they approach leadership (Speaker in House, Maj leader in Senate) to put it in queue.
2. Let us say that Congressman X wants to sponser DREAM Act because of his constituency or a senator (like Feinstein) wants to sponsor AgJobs because food growers are having food rotten in absence of agricultural workers, a compelling cause. Now, when they want to pass legislation, they have to look for support and votes as described in item 1. When they fall short, they find ways to sweeten the pot. IF they see that a powerful organization will throw in their support and lobbying in favor of their bill if they attach a few of that organization's provisions, then they approach them. Immigration Voice did 138 lawmakers meetings (in House and Senate). They did the rally. They would consider IV as a organization that can help them PUSH for their legislation. Now we have a place at the negotiating table. If they attach our provisions (like recapture, or GC quota increase), then we can promise to do something for them. Like support the entire bill they are pushing for. They know that we can do rallies and we can do hundreds of lawmaker meetings. If Diane Feinstein (just an example) thinks that by adding skilled employment based reform provisions she can get IV's support and swing a few votes to help her pass her favorite AgJobs bill, then we have opportunity where the Senator would ask us what we want rather than us going and asking them to do things for us. One of IV members said that on the day of the rally, suddenly the office of her senator called her and scheduled and appointment to meet the same day at 4:00 PM. She had been trying to get the appointment but after they rally and Roll call newspaper ad (http://immigrationvoice.org/media/forums/iv/rollcal3a.pdf), they called her to listen to her. I heard about this from her just as the rally was over.
3. CIR has recently failed. From some meetings, I got the feeling that CIR's failure has left a bad taste in mouth and many people in Congress as well as administration are very upset about it still. Now that we have done this rally, done lawmaker meetings, put a rollcall ad, did the media blitz, press conference, congressional reception (where 4 congressmen attended and spoke in IV's support), they know that it would be a good idea to keep IV on their side and put some of their things in a bill. Next time they write a bill (behind closed doors very often), they will consult us and ask us if they can do something for IV to win IV's full support. That's because by getting IV's support on their side for whatever they are doing, they can be assured that we wont oppose it but instead support it. With phone calls, Rallies, paid ads, lawmaker meetings etc. If they are really investing in getting a bill passed, they would include our provisions just to increase the odds.
Strength respects strength. If we have the strength to do things and make a difference (rallies, meetings, receptions, press conferences, paid ads), then that strength begets more strenght because other powers want us to join hands with them so that they can do their favorite things (AgJobs, DREAM etc).

It was the figure that the Kauffman Report found about a month ago when studying the potential for Reverse Brain Drain amongst other things. It as accurate a number that you will find.
Remember, this is many years of cumulative build up of temporary work visas transferring to permanent residency path
A total of 2.5M cases pending (AOS and naturalization), only 1.2M are ready for action.
For true backlog numbers look here, Ombudsman report, Page 14.
http://www.ilw.com/immigdaily/news/2007,0619-ombudsman.pdf
1.3M backlogged cases TOTAL (includes naturalization), out of which more than 800K are retrogresed family-based AOS petitions, and what looks like 30K EB petitions (cannot be approved due to statutory limits). 300K cases in namecheck, maybe 10% of them are EB (EB is about 13% of green cards), so we are having about 60K truly backloged EB cases in March 2007.
We know that cases that are current and not stuck in FBI checks are being approved farily fast, so my gut feeling is they have maybe 50-80K EB cases in active adjudication. Let's double-check -- out of 1.2 million cases ready for action, about a half is naturalization, and from the other half, ~13% would be EB - yep, 80K (EBs are the easiest to approve because there are no interviews or tests, so the percentage is likely less than 13%).
So, in March 2007 there were a total of no more than 140K pending cases in I-485 stage of stocessing. Now in June-August EVERYONE who had an approved LC got to apply, and there were ~300K applications, while CIS gave out ~70K green cards, so we would have a total of 370K pending petitions. This estimate is surprisingly close to 13% of the total 2.5M backlog, so I would consider it good.
Again, I absolutely do not believe there are more than 500K EB1-EB3 cases. There may be another 500K in the 'other worker' category, but this is not what we are talking about here.

If you read the postings in this thread itself you would be surprised to see that some consider this as controversial. You are not writing your life off just because you married a H1B visa holder. It also happens that majority of H4 holdes are woman and hence unable to express their views. - a perfect case of lack of visibility.
What makes it intuitively obvious that an H-4 visa holder cannot express their views just because they are a woman?
H-4 visa holders can seek a change of visa. If you want to work, do so instead of relying on the H-1 status of the spouse. If you want your wife/husband/dependent to be able to work, why not seek a change of visa status for them? Or is this just too much of an effort?

Yes, country of birth should get us close.
needhelp...maybe instead of country of chargeability we should ask for grouping by country of birth; this is an actual field required in the I-485 form.
You are right about priority date. It is not a field available in the 485 form. in the 485 form we reference the approved I-140, which is the only place where your see the "Priority Date" field.

I disagree with you. I will try again but you can continue to disagree with me.
Guy from ROW joins Company A in 2001. The Company A files his EB2 ROW in 2004.
Guy from Retrogressed Country (India/China) joins same Company A in 2001. The Company A files his EB2 India in 2004.
Both guys are brilliant and have same talent.
ROW guy gets approval in 2005, while Retrogressed guy has not got approval even in 2010.
ROW guy gets promotion and moves up in the ladder in 5 years from 2005 to 2010, while Retrogressed guy cannot move up the ladder even though he qualifies for the promotion because he does not have green card and is required to maintain same or similar job.
Agreed immigration is benefit. But immigration laws should apply equally. It cannot be the case that people from only few countries are retrogressed by 5 more years than the people from all the other countries, which causes people from few countries to be at disadvantage at work.
It would have been fine legally if people from all the countries had to wait for green card for same amount of time, even for 10 years because immigration is benefit.
I think when the law was designed this situation was not considered. Hence, I think the law as it is has had an unintended consequence of discrimination at work.
I therefore think if someone with EB2 from 2004 or EB3 from 2002 has a good chance of convincing EEOC of work discrimination because
CAUSE:
1. He/She is required to have same or similar job; AND
2. He/She is qualified for the promotion; AND
3. People in his/her group and in the same/similar situation who were from ROW received their GC at least 3 years earlier and have got the promotion; AND
4. People from only few countries are retrogressed; AND
5. The only reason for his/her not receiving the GC is visa number unavailability because of country quota and there is no other reason
EFFECT: (though unintended)
He/She cannot get promotion; while his collegue from ROW can i.e. People from only few countries are at disadvantage at work compared to people from ROW.
You are missing the key point here.
Equal Employment Opportunity applies only to applicants who are eligible to apply for that job. It does NOT apply to immigrant visa allocation and any other visa benefit such as H-1B approval.
In other words, Equal Employment Opportunity is applicable to US Citizens and residents with work authorization (Green Card holders, EAD holders, person with H-1B approved) and this is limited to job hiring, job promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and other aspects of employment. This does not extend to immigration benefit or opportunity lost due to lack of immigration benefit (such as I-485 approval).

It looks very funny after reading anands23's post. IV leaders are volunteers. They are not highly paid CEO and directors of IV Inc. !!
Come on Mr. anand come and join IV leadership and change the immigration law. For God sack, don't post this kind of immature posts.
I think this guy is from numbers usa for sure. After writing all the BS, he asks it to take it in constructive way. There are lots of other way to express your concern if it had to taken in constructive way. This is definitely not the way.
Based on your comments I could see that you are a regular visitor (FREE RIDER ATTITUDE) to IV site for more than a year. We had several threads crying out for funds in very critical time senstive times. At those times you are a mere spectator and now just for posting this bashing post you reluctantly became a anonymous member. All these shows your LEADERSHIP skills and quality of leading the battle from FRONT. If I were in USCIS I would do a background check on these high qualities and ground breaking positive attitudes even before giving H1.

I have been thinking about whether to attend the rally or not from past few weeks. Attending the rally would require me to take a day off. Finally today without thinking twice I just went to my manager asked if I can take day off on 9/18 instead compensate the work in the following saturday. It was approved and I am attending the rally on 9/18!
I am feeling so good now.
Also, I live in DC area and can help if somebody needs to be picked from airport to the rally and drop them back if needed.
Hope to see thousands on 9/18th...
ALL THE BEST TO OUR CAUSE!
Regards.
Anucks, what great news!!! You are really committed and your sacrifice in working on Saturday will really pay off! Congratulaions on your decision, you will NOT regret it!!!!

I disagree. I would expect a person to convey that they are not officially open despite the doors being open. I agree its not nice on customers part to enter before the office is officially open, but that does not mean the officer just threatens a countryman.
We should learn to respect our countrymen/women first. If I were to try to enter a business which is closed but doors are open, I can tell that someone would tell me that same verbally!
You took the words out of my mouth dude.. Lack of respect for fellow indians is something that I have noticed on several situations when I try to make friends with people especially Indians. Some, take things for granted.
Now I cannot blame them as people's behavior is driven by past experiences with fellows.. may be they suspect every other person as one of those pyramid schemes guys.. not sure.. I am far far away from those things though.
I have to tell you one thing, when ever I smiled at folks, they did return one except few who look the other way.. don't worry..keep smiling guys.. after all it costs nothing..

I don't think it bodes well for anything that is sent to the Table. This Senate Language Glossary has what "motion to table" means, essentially something that senate does not want to Consider. This Amendment(1249) is said to have been ordered "to lie on the table" not sure if it is same as the motion to table. But, I think we should hope for an amendment that does not have a table associated with its status.
A MOTION TO TABLE, if adopted, permanently kills the pending matter. It also ends any further debate.used in House & Senate. (source : c-span)
Rule 11.9. Motion to lay on table(Source legis.state.la.us)
A. The motion to lay on the table shall be decided without debate.
B. When a bill or resolution is pending, an amendment to such bill or resolution may be laid on the table without prejudice to the bill or resolution then pending.
Source - Thomas:
LAY ON THE TABLE A motion to lay on the table a bill, resolution, amendment, point of order, appeal or another motion disposes of the question immediately and finally and adversely -- it kills it without a direct vote on the substance of the question. A motion to table is not debatable and is adopted by unanimous consent -- without objection -- or by majority vote. It is a "highly privileged motion" -- that is, in the order in which motions are given priority in the House, only a motion to adjourn has higher precedence than a motion to table a measure.

I agree.. Let us focus on the main agenda "APPLYING FOR AOS WHEN PD NOT CURRENT"
I read through your reply, however, I found it extremely hard for me to accept your points. You've been probably on EAD too long to remember what a dire condition you came from as an H1B worker. Let's look at it:
As an AOS, you can:
- Work for any employer
- Not work at all
- Travel out of the country without worrying visa delay
- When you got laid off, no need to worry about being out of status or restarting GC
As an H1B worker:
- If you are laid off, everything, years of wait, thousands of dollars, down the drain, and the whole family becomes out of status immediately. And in this dire economy, this is a sword hanging on the head of every H1B worker.
- Worry about re-entry visa each time you travel
With such a huge different, I can hardly convience myself that EAD is 'useless' or 'waste'. True, you'll need to work for same or similar job, but compared to the benefit, it is not nearly as big a problem faced by H1B workers day by day.

- If you are laid off, everything, years of wait, thousands of dollars, down the drain, and the whole family becomes out of status immediately. And in this dire economy, this is a sword hanging on the head of every H1B worker.
- Worry about re-entry visa each time you travel
With such a huge different, I can hardly convience myself that EAD is 'useless' or 'waste'. True, you'll need to work for same or similar job, but compared to the benefit, it is not nearly as big a problem faced by H1B workers day by day.

and other IL immigration related events, people from the chapter say that they will show up. But they will not. They do not even have the courtesy later to tell that they had something important to justify their absence. This is what ticks off leaders who are working hard.
If you say you are coming to an event and are unable to do so, either inform asap or after the event, have courtesy to send an email explaining why.
Being active in IV is an indication of your character. If you are timid and scared, you will continue to be SCARED for the rest of your life (no matter the country you reside in). :)

Just reporting what I saw on CNN. During the Sen. McCain interview with Judy Judy Woodruff & Richard Stengel, Richard asked something like - what about the green cards for the highly skilled immigrants educated by American Universities. To this Sen. McCain replied implying - they should be given green cards sooner, I am not sure if they could be given automatic green cards but the process should be faster.....
He said it not exactly in these words but implying something to that effect. They were suppose to ask Sen. Obama the exact same questions. Did anyone see Sen. Obama's answer to the question about green card for high skilled immigrants from Richard Stengel? Just curious....

...Ahimsa, I hope you understand this is a platoonic conversation between us...
If you mean "platonic", yes ours is no doubt a friendly conversation.
I agree CIR will be modified but our EB reliefs (for existing EB applicants) are not controversial (ilegal immigration reliefs and H-1B increase are the most controversial), right?
I hope there would be some form of CIR with EB reliefs that both Dems and President would agree on.
Thanks
