Seriously...both r of no use as far as legal immigration is concerned
very true...both are mainly interested in the vote bank politics and EB immigrants are too small in number to be of interest to them.

This is like telling passengers to move to the other side of the boat when it starts sinking one side. The outcome is only making the boat sink faster. Remember, the huge backlogs are not completely due to unavailable visa numbers.
Unless there is a real need, moving from EB3 to EB2 dont make much sense.
If your case is EB2 worthy. It makes a lot of sense. I have many friends who did that and they have their GCs now. While I'm rotting in this mess... my fault: I didn't convert to EB2 which I could have.

All three- Lofgren, Eshoo and Pelosi- represent the High Tech areas of California, Silicon Valley and the areas around it. I'm sure there are many immigrants/IV members in those areas. We need to have a webfax and phone campaign to get interim relief now. Folks in that area can viist lawmakers offices too. Maybe CompeteAmerica wants to recapture H1 visas and EB visas for high tech immigrants too??
In 2005, a special 50K quota was carved out for Sch A. Now they're talking about another 90K quota exclusively for Sch A. I'm not against Sch A relief, but for once we High tech immigrants need relief too. We've been waiting 5 years for our Green Cards and still no end in sight!!

By exempt, you mean exempt from the cap, right? Does this mean that you still need an employer to sponsor you even if you have an advanced degree? Or can you self-petition as in the CIR?
Exempt from Cap only.No self-petition benefit(yet)

Actually I made mistake in my math,
$20 (2% of $1000 monthly bill) * 2k ( 10% of 20k IV members) = 40K per month
I guess 10% people with $1000 monthly credit card bill is not too optimistic.. is it?
One simple way to measure this is, lets have poll. ( how do you create poll?) I have never done it before.
poll choice should be
Your preference to contribute to IV
Choices are
1) I prefer to contribute $10/20 cash monthly
2) I prefer to use IV branded credit card, Let CC company pay 2% of my cc bill every month.
3) I prefer Google ads on IV website...I promise to click on 10 ads every day ;)
One important question is, does IV loose any charitable(non-profilt) status by issuing a CC?

Also we have seen lot of traffic coming to our site why cant we use that also as some "Contributing" scheme like allowing some commercial notes. Some ppl might laugh at me but atleast our every click might be generating 1Cent to our cause.
Let's keep these good ideas and discussions going, the momentum is building and it feels good. Targets for everyone which we feel we can achieve in smaller measures like per state, is a great idea (not just saying that because CA is in the lead ;) ) and adding a touch of healthy competition could help us all along! Is there also a chance we can update the home page of IV with a little more info about this campaign? I do realize we cannot force people to join in, but I am all for encouragement and hope and unity. BTW, hits on Immigration Portal are collectively over 1,500 from the postings I entered last week, there has to be a few hundred new people reading them, I am sure. Go IV!!

My earlier offered me ticket to my home country when they let me go. They specified in letter that they are offerring this according to the law. But I think its not neccessary to have employer to send termination letter to USCIS. Actually person can request company to stop sending this letter if employer is intend to. This way employer will not going to loose anything.

Based on the reply to this FOIA from Needhelp!, it seems that we have a bigger problem than transparency.
They have said that country of chargeability is not assigned until case is ready for approval. However, whether or not a case is ready for approval is determined by country of chargeability. If you have 500,000 pending cases and dont know how many cases for each country of chargeability, then the only way to respond to a visa bulletin is to go thru all 500,000 cases every month, take a peek in it, look at the PD, look at the country and see if it is up for approval. I dont think they are doing that.
Also, if priority date is something that is different for different countries, then cases for those countries have to be sorted by priority date in different silos, so that when the next bulletin comes, you know how many cases are eligible that month and which ones are the earliest cases (from PD perspective) for each country.
I think we need to build case with proper arguments and present in front of Ombudsman.

so i understand how the whole 7% thing works now in relation to the total visa's available....
but what i dont get it the fact that EB3 ROW was at Aug 02 in april this year,
then in May it moved to AUG 03, so people were clearly getting through the system....
then in June it moved to June 05 so again in that month people where getting processed, and moving through the system....
then the July fiaco, i guess because they were running tight for visa numbers...ok water under the bridge.....
But now the Oct bullitin which is the start of the new fiscal year puts us back to AUG 02 again........how does that work??? i dont get it. how can they suddenly be dealing with people from 02 when even in May it was up to AUG 03???
I would have thought that with the start of a new fisacl year there would be a full fresh batch of numbers, and people would get through a bit quicker for a least a couple of months...you would have thought that it would be current for the first month on the new allotment....wouldnt you???
i dont get it.???
There is much info ont this board that explains why this happened? It has been posted and debated in much much detail. It boilds down to, visa numbers are allocated to each quarter. The visa quota year ends in September, so the run up to this was the last quarter of the year. Under mounting pressure a combination of the Department of State and the USCIS didn't want to be accused of wasting visa numbers again, so they pushed dates REALLY far forward to make sure they wouldn't.
That drama is now over and we return to the normal state of affairs.
Just because you are a Brit born and bred, don't think you'll get your visa any faster. IF your occupation does qualify you for an EB3 (Bachelors degree or experience equivalency) and you aren't in the states now on any kind of temprorary visa. What I don't understand is, if you aren't in the US now - what employer would sponsor someone for a greencard that won't arrive for about 6 years?

Folks, let's not be judgmental please. Constructive critics should be a good thing.
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.

How many members, especially GC bitten members, does IV
Even if 90% of the members donate on an average $75, would that reach the goal?
I am trying to analyze. We need to bump up the funding to ace this opportunity.
Thanks much for all who donated $$$, skypmiles, carpool, etc for this cause.

What you are saying is a high level picture of what the lawmakers think.
Instead of asking reasonable numbers asking for no cap.
True that the tech companies are not comming up with a cap because they believe by saying this, they might be restricted for many years to bring in extra people if they have an opening.
Before dot com bust even lot of US citizens welcomed H1b persons as there was not much layoffs. But past 7 years layoffs increased to outsource to India,China and other countries. For that they have to hire H1b and L1 persons from Countries mainly India. Those things made anti immigrants hardened their stand. US workers fear that they may lose job if US opens up immigration too much.
How did the anti-immigrants get a upper hand on this. They are allowing illegals to get an easy path to citizenship.. this will cause a huge influx of people who will benefit the economy but down the line their children will take up the jobs of the americans.. so why a benefit to illegals.
Now you would say that there are so many companies lobbying for the illegals,
true but why don't they listen to the tech lobbyist who are few in number but asking what is actually,legally, abide rulles ly necessary to increase the economy.
Main reasons for restrictions in legal immigration are
1. Organised compaign by anti immigrants with data. They proved that H1b persons were paid 20% below the market rate. There is no defence from orgainised compaign by pro immigrants. Pro immigrants gave the statement that shortage of skilled workers but they were not able to give supporting data. Newspaper stories are not enough
2. Reaching h1b cap in 2 days gave negative picture instead of positive. Mostly consulting companies rushed to get h1b without valid job positions
3. Instead of asking reasonable numbers Corporations and pro immigrants asked exemptions in H1b numbers and green card numbers. They want to make sure that unlimited numbers so that they can hire or fire anyone.
4. Immigrants are suffering by backlogs and they are expressed by IV and Lawyers. But that is not enough to justify immigration. That should be justified with real need for welfare of country
5. Before dot com bust even lot of US citizens welcomed H1b persons as there was not much layoffs. But past 7 years layoffs increased to outsource to India,China and other countries. For that they have to hire H1b and L1 persons from Countries mainly India. Those things made anti immigrants hardened their stand. US workers fear that they may lose job if US opens up immigration too much.
6. Some Indian consulting companies exploited the situation by just hiring H1bs not even trying to recruit US workers even if they available. But some Indian companies like TCS,Infosys started hiring US workers nowadays because of shortage of H1b.
H1b persons are considered as best skilled persons so Companies can afford to pay 5000 or even 10000$. Infact H1b persons should be paid 20% above US workers as they are considered as better than US workers. That is the reason for raising the fees by two thirds of Senators

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).

WOW. What a stupid thread? The OPs anger and frustration might be justified. However, his tone and language used is a bad choice. This is obviously not the first time.
I have said this before; Calling people names or using stupid analogies is not the way to encourage people to volunteer or contribute.
Your method of constantly bashing people and calling people names is unfortunately reflective of the organisation and core team as a whole. Do you even think before you hit the "submit" button? Imagine if a CEO starts making stupid remarks about his employees. Would it have a positive effect or negative effect? How many of the senior members really approve this approach? This approach will only alienate people further.
Amma came out and apologised for her mistake. Will logiclife do the same? I guess he does not have to. I am not sure if he has issued any apologies in the past. If he hasn't, this might be a good time to do it.
OLDMONK makes good points. I expect other senior members to respond by asking me what or how I contributed so far. Just to avoid more posts, I started off contributing but could not motivate myself after having seen numerous stupid posts from different people. Ofcourse, some people will use this behaviour as an excuse to not do anything.
Logiclife's post does nothing good. It only increases the separation between the so called volunteers and bench warmers. People deserve to be treated with respect and that is something he needs to realize.
