Very good news indeed.
In the US politics for some reason, certain issues seem to get clubbed together.
Sometimes it suits our purposes and at other times it is vexing. Clearly our issue of legal immigration does not create the type of backlash from conservative republicans that the issue of illegal immigration does. Hence when our circumstances necessitate that we have to try to board the CIR train to our goals I consider it unfortunate.
On the other hand when it comes to H1b immigration, every H1b increase has corresponded with some sort of provision(mainly recapture) of EB visas also. H1b increase has tremendous support and pressure from the powerful capitalist forces in this country. Just see how the Wall street Journal and Pres.Bush gives publicity to this issue. I doubt pure EB provisions can get that sort of visibility in spite of the tremendous work of organisations like IV.
In that sense the H1b cap being exhausted indirectly gives our issue more visibility and is a good development. Lets wait until the 20K US masters cap is also filled, then publicity will increase even more.
All in all it looks good that something will work for us by the end of this year. The pressure is building on congress to do something about EB immigration.

I understand Logic life vehement opinion . I have seen so many guys around me , who want to do nothing unless they are complied to ...Thos people so called educated have no idea of what they have to go through in future to get the final gC . I feel that its time to make this site as paid site .Just like anti immigrant group , we should make this site Searchable /able to post the messages and get expertise opinion ,just for the people who volenteer and /or contribute ...
With the free riders coming on this site , the only things thats going to increase is website hits not the contributions.
We can put a poll to take common consesus.
Just my 2 cents..

I am not sure about the statement "There is no corporate support for EB reform.....". Check this link http://www.competeamerica.org/. They seem to have the same agenda as ours (i.e., IV's). Is IV aware (or in collaboration) with them?
The reason we see progress year after year with Schedule A and nothing happens in EB reform because there is no corporate support for EB reform. This is one of the reaons why we should be open for measure like 485 whenever possible, even after febuary 15th.
Maybe we need to figure out how we can involve the corporations in EB relief. The only reasons we see Schedule A relief every year because there is a strong health industry lobby driving this. the worst part about this is that these 90,000 and 50,000 which were released last year and they are trying now are comming from the unused\recaptured visas from previous years. there is no country limit in the unused\recaptured visas for Schedule A.
when it comes to us we cannot get unused visas and added to that somebody always tries to add country limit to even unused\recaptured visas. Its a double whammy for EB retrogression. May god help us.

Why should they stop coming on to the forums and discuss things? Will those same people stop coming to the forum and post a question, if they have a looming personal immigration issue. On a public forum, there are gonna be rants and raves. You gotta have your opinion and let the other person rant and rant.. It lies in our thinking.

EB3 porting is a loophole like labor substitution.
when I came here 6 yrs ago, I had the option of applying in EB3 with a top 4 consulting US firm and I did not want to go that route. I waited until 2010 to apply in EB2.
Looks like People should come to the US as freshers or with 1-2 yrs experience > Apply in EB3 > Gain 5-6 yrs in experience > Port and BOOM, you have your GC.
How can people claim PD porting at a later date when they were not eligible on that specific date in the first place at that time? I know it's legal just like Labor Substitution.
Thats what i am saying. Agreed.
Reminded of Hannity show. Two idiots coming together and agreeing on stupid stuff. Again, you need to review your core concepts. It is NOT about "eligibility" in terms of a paper degree. Dont assume you know what was in the minds of the people that made the laws.

how people get to know about IV when they are in a situation like this
but the very sad part is, their unableness to realize they are directly / in-direclty into this retro mess already or will be in the near future
donno if i would be like that, if i were one of them. lucky people though.

latest from CNN:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush set out a new approach Wednesday in the wake of what he called a "thumping" for Republicans in the midterm elections.
Immigration and minimum wage measures are areas of common ground to discuss when he meets Democratic speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi later this week, he told reporters at the White House.

Anytime, no restriction whatsoever but sometime is need to advertise and do other paper work formality.

If you have plans of doing an MBA in future, then Canada would be a better option than US. Otherwise as uma001 points out, doors are closed for most professions except 38 occupations.
H1bslave, in your case your PD is Sep 5 EB2. I see something in the distant horizon. PD of 2007 and beyond or EB3-India I see no hope.
Atleast you can survive on a lifeboat called EAD and AC21.
Note that list of occupations changes constantly. I lived in Canada for 20 years after coming as PR on point system. It works well there, if you think money is not everything. Education is equally good. People, of course are far nicer and friendlier. Even border immigration and custom staff show a friendly face and attitude..

Senator Frist bill is better as it has no so called 'Guest worker' clause.
Just wrote an email to Senator Frist for removal of country limit.
I hope with this bill I'll get my GC by next year.:)

Actually some of concern of EB3 is valid.But their explanation cannot convince DOS or USCIS. According to DOS/CIS EB1 has more skills than EB2 and EB2 has more skills than EB3. That is not true in many cases. EB1 most cases are genuine except some cases in multi national managers. A manager in CTS could file in EB1 but at the same time similar manager in Intel cannot file in EB1. But only very few are in numbers because of restrictions like working in other country branch etc. So people do not bother about EB1 being current always.
Coming to EB2, the job requirement require Masters or 5 years experience. If the requirement is genuine then it is ok to give priority to EB2. But in reality(mainly consulting companies) the job requirement is decided mostly in Lawyers office or by candidate just because candidate has
master degree or 5 years experience. Though CIS scrutinise the EB2 applications still rejection rate is less. And also many persons trying to use 3 year degree and 2 year Master and apply for Eb2 by adding PG diploma etc.
So it appears that there is no difference in skills between EB2 and EB3. If CIS and companies follow strictly the law and good faith then number of candidates would have been less in EB2 and EB2 would have been current and remaining would have been transferred to EB3. But these reasons could not be given to DOS/CIS. According to DOS/CIS EB2 has more skills than EB3.
Good post . And there is no basis for anyone to accuse IV of being anti EB3 or anti -anything immigration related . It's a truly fantastic organization .
That said, EB3's concern are real and not based on Jealousy. Everyone should support recapture effort but I do not think that is the only solution.
Challenging/airing concerns over DOS 's spill over distribution is a valid issue too. May not be as important as recapture issue but still important like 2 year EAD/AP,s etc.

Make AF flight crew wait it out in some mosquito infested lounge for 10 hours before clearing their immigration. Call it something like quarantine for French swine flu or something. But do give them a bottle of water and enough spicy Indian food. :D
Repeat this at random for a few weeks. AF will be paid back in Euros :D.
BTW, I used to stay in France (and Holland 98-2000) and had a fairly good experience when I was there. Never really felt any racial discrimination. Only thing that they want you to do in France is try to speak French that's it.
I bear no ill will to the French or the other EU folks. This is a fight with the Airline and let's keep the discussion to that. :)

I talked to many representatives regarding my I 140 filing from yesterday.
This is what all msot all of them said.
Nebraska center is running behind with their schedule in generating their receipt numbers.
First all the applications go to the mail room. If everything looks fine with the application, the mail room people would send the cheques to be enchased. This normally takes like a day or 2. Then they send the applications to a different department where the clerk needs to put the information in the system and generate the reciept and mail it out. All this process should normally take, 5 to 7 days and Nebraska Center has a turn around time of 15 days.
But Nebraska center is backlogged a bit due to the numerous applications they recieved, till last week for I 140's. And a decision was made yesterday that, the Nebraska Center would catch up generating all the receipts by August 1st. (Thats what the reps told me). So everyone's receipt number who filed their I 140 by July 16th should be available in the system by August 1st(we wud complete the 15 days turn around time too). And if they get mailed out by then, we may recieve in a week or so, by Aug 10th.
So everyone will be good to go. Even if you dont get the receipt, your checks would be enchashed by then which will have a receipt number and you can call the USCIS office to confirm that receipt number (as they will have it in their system by August 1st) and just file by putting the copies of those checks.
Its not our problem that they delay the receipts.
But I hope that everyone will get their receipts by August 10th. So just chill out and relax.
