It is good to know that state chapters are semi internet. I beg to differ with you regarding "feeling that you are in trouble". Expecting people to feel that they are in trouble by telling them so will never work. If someone thinks they are in trouble they would work out the solution on their own, they will not sit and wait for someone to help. This is a flawed assumption.
Anyways I am going to join the IV chapter to share more of my ideas to help this cause. Already sent a PM to chanduv23
State boards are kind of semi internet usgae only (Though not forum...). But those also do not make passive ones come ahead. So real issue is not the type of meet, the first real issue is feeling that you are in trouble..and 2nd is to stand up for fighting against that. And 3rd.. yes through IV we will be able to do this and so become active.

Isn't this old news? has been around for a while???
this is the first time i heard details about this bill even though he has been talking about it after meeting Bush. the news article thread has the analysis i found from an anti immigration group site. AILA has posted it as their news today however they have not yet posted the summary of the bill. The question is which one of the 3 --SKIL bill, CIR or Pence will be really voted and which ones will be put in the backburner for future or silent demise!

We had a very bad experience with the the Fragomen, Philadelphia Office. We sent our signed forms on 2nd July and they delayed a month and filed only yesterday 2nd August.

IV core keeps telling us, BEC is always on their agenda. Really?
I am also stuck in BEC, but I know IV has kept BEC victims in mind.
See the following links

It is thru expert drafting and analysis of IV core and its push with various like minded orgs that we got AC21 provisions of H1 re-instated by striking the text in "grand bargain" draft that removed it. THE ONLY PEOPLE THAT WERE HELPED AND WHOSE CAREERS AND PRIORITY DATES WERE SAVED BY THAT CHANGE ARE BACKLOG CENTER VICTIMS.

I would think and HOPE that seeing this thresd and message from Logiclife, MOST people who have been visiting IV and not contributed money or time will do atleast ONE of the following:
1. Just register on the website.
2. Join State chapters.
3. One time contributions to the 30K Omnibus fund drive.
4. Join for monthly contributions.
5. Volunteer via State chapters.
If people don't even do this, it is obvious one or more of these can be made of them.
1. They are our "friendly" visitors from ALIPAC.
2. They are incapable of helping themselves via IV efforts. Thus the word 'Cowards' fits rather well for them.
3. They are so broke that they have time to browse the website but don't have any money to contribute.
In my very very very honest opinion, either one of the above reasons makes you a very sad and selfish individual. I am sure we have many many good people that can help and will help, it is just a matter of injecting some urgency.
We have a great organisation and capable core leadership. We have seen lots of new members joining. We have a huge task in front of us and we will all need to put at least the basic effort. Thanks to all those who are contributing and those who will be contributing.

Is it not all about the bottomline?
Can any one of you as a single person make a difference? NO
Can WE as a group make a difference? YES and we have proved that.
Are WE focused as a group? Yes. In its entirety? No, and we will probably never be since we are a group.
This mess was not created by the guy with a PD of 2007 but by USCIS. So, you can hate USCIS all you want but what did the guy with PD2007 do. He just got lucky. He got lucky, plain and simple. Why should anybody feel bad about someone else's luck?
Come on guys, at least some of us are seeing the end of the light. Don't think I am PD 2007. My PD is Dec 2003. This is my fourth employer I am pursuing my GC with. I started working in 1997 and my first labor was filed in 1997. For various reasons I had to switch. I have seen all different cases. People who came in 2004 and got their GC by 2005. Is it fair? No, but it isn't the guy's fault. It is USCIS's and that's what we are trying to change. One issue at a time.
This was a can't miss opportunity caused by the USCIS foul-up. Nobody could miss out on pursuing this. Now that we are done with that, I am sure core will focus on other important issues like BEC victims etc.
Hope that helps. Peace!

This is the newslink what we discussed earlier on IEEE-USA's view on CIR:
http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/21...oreign-workers
This says "Combined with the H-1B visa increases, the Senate bill also includes "substantial increases" in legal permanent immigrant admissions that could have a major impact on the US IT workforce and engineering enterprise, according to IEEE-USA."
IEEE-USA must know the current increase of EB visas in CIR was mainly warranted due to the current backlogs in labor and due to retrogression.
IEEE-USA when issuing statement like this, should understand that making people wait 5-8 years for adjudication is simply unfair.
Let IEEE-USA vouch to reform H-1B later and work to clear the backlogs and retrogression first.

Background: I am on 7th year of H1B (7-10 year extension based on approved 140). My H1stamping is valid till 2010. Applied 485 on Aug 1st 2007. Did not apply for EAD/AP.
Loosing job in my company is becoming realistic scenario in near future(no predictions yet) so...
Scenario 1: If in next few weeks (before 180days or AC21) I have to change Jobs, Can my new employer just transfer H1B (since H1B was extended on approved 140 Hence the confusion) or do they have to go through PERM + 140 and then do H1B transfer ? What happens if my employer revoke 140 (based on which i had the H1 extension) Do I loose ability to transfer H1B?
Scenario 2: If after 180 days (from aug 1st) I have to change job (using AC21) ..can my H1 be transferred to another employer without having a labor / 140 or will the new employer have to go through PERM + 140 to transfer H1?
I understand EAD is an option so I will apply for EAD but looking at number of applications it may be months before I get EAD card.
Thanks in advance

dont claim uei, it is for gc and citizens only.
That's not correct. Everybody pays UEI including the H1B people also. But if you are AOS status, the AOS demands you be in a job but it has nothing to do with UE benefits.

Hi Folks,
I just called the Lamar Smith's office and when I asked to speak with a person who handles immigration matters, the lady asked me if I am calling in support of Lofgren bills or not. When I said YES, she asked me where I am calling from. Nothing more. She know all the bills no. Its so simple.
All they are doing now is counting how many people are calling in support of the bill. So its time to call as many people as we can.

I think it is important to maintain diversity in the overall immigration. However the immigration law has never resulted in achieving diversity. In the period 1900-1910, immigrants came from Italy (22%), Austria (20%) and Russia (18%). In the 1950-1960 period Germany provided 20% of immigrants. In the 1991-2000 period Mexico provided almost 22% of immigrants. In the FY 2005, Mexico provided around 161,000 immigrants (around 17%) of immigrants. It is easy to fix a quota for those immigration categories where visa numbers are limited such as for employment. However spouses and minor children of naturalized citizens have no waiting period. So it will be very hard to control the immigration percentages based on country of origin unless there is a quota for US citizen spouses, and children of US citizens wantin to immigrate!
The problem here is that we don't have a country quota for foreign students and H1Bs. Thus when these people try to become permanent residents then the quota's are applied and that is the core problem. My take is that country quota should not be applied for employment based immigration. Employers should not be forced in to an affirmative action plan but rather hire the right person for the job.
Source for my above data, if you like to do some weekend reading:

Sorry - I can't currently access the report you quote your oringinal figures from at the beginning of your quote. Are these numbers of total immigration, or immigration in the highly skilled category?

Why do they need money to respond to RTI request. IF they don't have a program, its their job to comeup with one. They shouldnot/cannot go asking for money.
Sounds like a scam.
Perhaps this should be brought to attention of Secretary of State or President.

I wonder at what point of time this "three years of U.S. work experience" applies from. Is it that you should have 3 yrs exp when you applied for labor or is it when you apply for 485??
would create a quota exemption for certain highly skilled immigrants who have at least three years of U.S. work experience.
That pretty much covers almost all of us in IV

As far as I know, if one goes to UK on a work permit, the spouse can start working from the beginning itlsef. The professional and the spouse get their automatic PR in 4 years just by being there. There are similar examples in other countries, but, the fact is that if we have to be in the US, we have to go by "their rules".
I admire US administration's guts to openly admit and declare that they are biased and work on a case by case basis or at will when it comes to looking out for their own interests, even in the immigration (Not to mention, they look confused as well).
For example, how is a spouse of an L1 visa holder anyway different from a spouse of and H1 ? The difference is that the US government presents the L2 spouses with an EAD at arrival and restricts the H4 spouses to home.
Well, I think we should take one thing at a time, and the current task in hand at IV is more than enough to comprehend and fight for, adding the H4 issue eventually may add value, but not at this juncture.
