I think DOS knows a damn when they move the dates (I think everybody agrees with that) They still move their dates based on demand of approvals from last qtr / month and they calculate the expected demand. I think they are probably making the assumption that everything is normally distributed (atleast this is my assumption). I dont believe in numbers, but lets say for example :
If you see that for March they have about 43 EB3I applications current and through April they have made 55 EB3I current and they added only 8 apps through 2 months. (Also Chennai consulate appointment numbers decreased from 10 to 5 from March to April) But on the other hand, by making EB2 Dec 2003 they have added 150 applications to the pool. This does'nt make any sense.
I agree that there could be indians who applied EB3 and dont work for IT and not have access to or perhaps dont want to track them, but again it should not be too much when compared to EB2.
So in my opinion, if DOS calculates the same way they do the EB3I dates should move to some where in Jan 02 in three months and the last quarter is going to move to the end of 2002.

In addition to monetary contributions, it would be helpful to call the office of your representative asking them to support the bills being proposed. The representative can be looked up by zip code (5+4 digits format) at this site http://www.house.gov/. If you reside in a representative's congressional district (based on zip code) you are his/her constituent.
Constituent's issues/calls/letters are given priority by the representatives over non-constituents. I became aware of this when participating in the recent lobbying activity. The more number of constituents that call, the more likely is the congressman to give importance to the common issues. The anti-immig groups have been doing this all the time. Now it is our turn to beat them with the strength of numbers.
Please contact the representative when the bills are being taken up. This is very important in order to get support for our issues.
More power to IV. Let's get this done.

There is no suprise on it. There may be 3 reasons for that
1. It is deviating from grand bargain. Some republicans accepted CIR based on the condition that point system needs to be introduced. Cantwell amendment invalidates that in high skilled category
2. Anything unlimited is tough to convince Senators as immigration concept is based on shortage of workers. Cantwell amendment has many exemptions for H1b and GC
3. This has provisions which will make Durbin bill almost ineffective
If some compromise is suggested in those three points then there is some possiblity. Otherwise it is going to be tough
The word on the street is that the Cantwell amendment is not a part of the list of amendments that are currently floating around in Senate offices. There are 20 of them.
Even Bernie Sanders has one more coming (Yes, it is related to H1B). But Cantwell amendment is not there in the list of 20.
Here is the list of 20 amendments floating around in the Senate:
Democratic Amendments
1199 Dodd ---- Family parent visas
1313 Webb ---- Community ties for Zs
1236 Baucus-Tester ---- Strike all reference to REAL ID
1332 Sanders ---- Employers to certify no mass layoff
1344 Byrd ---- Border security immigration fee
1317 Menendez ---- Increased family points in merit system
1340 Brown ---- Employers post job at state agency
1468 McCaskill ---- Repeat violators who hire undocumented workers
1486 Levin ---- Iraqi religious minority refugees
1386 Leahy ---- Refugee Scholars (may instead be 1289 on EB-5 investors)
____ Schumer ---- Tamper-proof biometric social security card (no language yet)
1198 Boxer ---- Reducing Y visa cap by number of Y workers who overstay
Republican Amendments
1161 Alexander ---- Oath of allegiance for naturalization (may move to manager�s package)
1255 Bond ---- Prohibits green cards for Z holders
1473 Coleman ---- information sharing/sanctuary cities (Coleman is redrafting, new language not available)
1335/1258 Domenici ---- Federal judgeship increase (redrafting)
1490 Ensign ---- Preclusion of social security benefits
1465 Graham ---- Enforcement, plus other potential agreed upon amendments folded in (redrafting, content not clear)
1441 Grassley-Baucus Obama ---- Strike and replace Title III (small changes possible)
1440 Hutchison ---- Touchback/strike and replace title vi (redrafting)
1174 Thune ---- Probationary legal status triggers
1318 Chambliss ---- Totalization agreement
1282 Isakson ---- Preemption/Home Depot (redrafting)
------ Graham Criminal penalties/mandatory minimums for overstays

But the way TSC is going they might be able to approve it with his/her photo from last year :)
They go by photo not older than 30 day. Probably if they don't follow their rule ...
It would be a breach of security related matter.

No need to jump the gun. I didn't ask it at a personal level, in case you didn't understand it! Instead of nitpicking on a single statement, read the whole paragraph! I am a member of a state chapter and keep posting on the Yahoogroups, though it's been a month since anyone else posted there ( and I don't get any replies).
I'm not getting into personal level/ad hominem discussion as it's pointless. I don't need to prove anything to anybody.
I read and understood the whole paragraph with both "published" and "Hidden" messages what you wanted to convey. If you do not see much activity on your state forums, why do not you take the lead to reverse the course? That would be the right direction rather than suggesting to change the skeleton. Do you blame yourself (Since you are claiming yourself a member)for not having much activity in your state level? If not then problem lies there and that is my hint to you.

Are we/employees really supposed to know all the steps involved in the approval of GC process (Perm, 140/EAD/485 etc.)?
I work for one of the fortune 100 companies, to my surprise, none of my European colleagues is aware of all the GC process. All they do is just provide documents what ever the HR department asks for. They don’t pay from their pocket for GC (ideally correct). None of them has clue about priority date etc….they get communicated by the HR department about their GC process.
So putting your case in perspective. I am assuming that the HR department would just hand over the GC to the employee. Neither the HR (I think) nor the employee (definitely) would worry about the PD being current.
Ideally if a law firm is point of contact for a petition, what would they do? Would they go back to USCIS and tell them that the GC is approved by mistake? I don’t think so but some one can confirm if they had experience otherwise.
I agree we are not suppose to know the details and that's exactly why we have attorneys. HR follows intructions from their attorneys on immigration matters. I work for one of the BIG three in Detroit. I had no clue about PD related laws and stuff; it's my attorney who pointed it out to my HR and my HR came to me and said you need to talk to so and so (attorney), you have a special case....

Just one anti-immigration group, NumbersUSA, has sent more than 100,000 faxes and made thousands of calls to Congress since Wednesday. The intensity of that anger propelled some of the bill's opponents.

Sparky I had same experience in 2003 only my next flight was after 24 hours. They refused to accommodate me in a hotel or on another flight though they had sense to issue me a calling card for 10 euros and a meal coupon. I have never flow AF since that day (even if their tickets are cheaper) and neither has any of my friends or family member. Every time I hear somebody is planning to fly to India, I tell them my story and trust me nobody I know has flow with AF since 2003.
I have never flown with them. I always prefer AA and Continental direct flight. Nobody I know have ever flown with AF and now I will make sure nobody ever does.
I hope media in India makes a very big deal out of this issue. They will learn their lesson.

Hello,
I am a Canadian and have a PD of 3-05 LC apporved 10-06, filed i140 in 5-07 and am putting together the documents to send in 485 application this month.
I am on the 7th year of H1-b but have extension valid until 2009
In a few months I won't have a job. I am trying to apply for 485 before it ends.
Is it possible to find a job that is different than my current job description?
When I look for a job, what to I tell potential employer? do they need to sponsor the H1-b or Green Card? do they need a lawyer to manage my stuff?
What do I do after job ends? Does my family and I have to immediately leave? I heard that I can get a few months by applying for a different status (to take care of affairs) but that only get me a few months.
We were so happy last week , as our PD came up and we can go through the final stage to get GC... is all lost right now?
Would really appreciate some guidance.
-Bob

Now that it is clear that we can file 485 without 140 receipt notice, I want to know what you guys, who have not received 140 receipt notice yet, are planning to. Are you going to file 485 right now with the information insturcted by USCIS (brightly colored paper...)? Or are you going to wait for the 140 receipt notice until certain point and then, if you still have not received the receipt by then, file 485 with the information insturcted by USCIS (brightly colored paper...)?
I think we can wait till Aug 15th for I-140 receipt and if we don't get that (:( :mad: :confused: ) then we can file I-485 with the mailroom instructions from the FAQ (:) :) )

Dear Sir,
Not convincing. 2006 was when Retrogression started. And it was declared HUGE only in 2007,8,9,10. Just because some Tom or D has forcasted that therez gonna be huge retrogression, we dont base our GC plans on that. Correct..
If everyone were to go with your logic, then I guess EB2 qualified guys must wait for .. well how many years, u tell us.. to apply in .. EB1 ".. And what shoudl EB3 guys do..
The point is, lets focus our energies on the main problem which all of us face, and not show any disgust on any one category. I know how it feels if someone is coming in front of me in my line.. But how can we stop them.
Lets bring attention to releasing those wasted visas, quota problems etc..
If equal spillover happens from EB1 to rest of categories, EB2 will affected immediatley.
Its personal choice if and when they want to start the GC process if there is an opporunity. I also didnt start my GC even though my first employer wanted to start the GC for me in 2005 and I refused for whatever stupid reasons...which I am regreting now

I totally agree with you. Besides all our spouses wud LOVE that idea :)
Unfortunately i doubt that anyone wud raise it in the senate. As it is the H1Bs are facing issues, can u imagine the uproar NumbersUSA wud create on hearing this. There are a LOT of things wrong with the US immigration system.
Just curious, how is H4s not working a "Discrimination"?

As I said dont bother replying
Pay attention more to something when you read and ask your questions better (or at least elaborate before you reply with something like the above gem). And, since I suspect this is part of the problem look up "hypothetical". The correct term should have been "on or after July 2" not "after July 2". I didn't bother to sit there and make sure it was perfectly clear since I assumed readers would get it. Obviously, some are slow:D Peace
