I bet they have only issued around 120,000 EB visas in the year 2006 (Oct 2005 - Sept 2006), even though the quota is around 250,000. (140,000 direct + 100,000 from family other category).QUOTE]
Slave,
EB = Employment Base and so family category is not considred as "EB" category.

bigboy.. We need about 20 volunteers per state to pledge 200 letters each. It is achievable. But 20 volunteers is far from reality. That is our challenge.
Friends Please dont jump on me as i make these comments. I am doing my best to convince ppl as i see across to Join IV and contribute to our efforts. But i also think that every state chapter should allocate some members who only concentrate on grass root efforts but nothing else to track how many memberships and etc and those should co-ordinate with every state to see how much they can target and how much did they reach. I know this might have been thought by some others but just what i am thinking ?

Eb3 v/s Eb2 is a nonsensical nonproductive meaningless argument. If you actively participate in speaking with the lawmakers, you would know the bogus nature of this squabble. Each one of us has a choice. We can continue with this pissing contest or we could do something to fix the backlogs. We all understand the frustration and anxiety due to the long delays. It is easy to be drawn in meaningless eb2 v/s eb3 quarrel in the virtual world when one is not privy to how things work in the real world.
If you feel compelled to engage in infra and trivia, please utilize your energy for your benefit by understanding the larger debate so that each one of us can employ our energy to fix our issues. Please use your energy in a positive manner. There is no point of this discussion. It is easy to write/post arguments just to support your own application/position in line. Anybody can do that. But such narrow minded approach will not help even a single soul on this planet, including yours. For those of you who want to continue with this bickering, you can do so at the expense of your own time. And when you engage in such arguments, please remember that whatever you all write or post about this nonsensical back-and-forth is not helping you or your family. But if you are sincere and care for this issue, if you truly care for your issue, then please consider participating actively to meet with the lawmakers to make our voices heard.
Members who actively engage in the advocacy effort know when we are saying. For example – talk to nearly 125 IV members who lead the lobby day in DC during the past week. They will tell you the bogus nature of this Eb2 v/s Eb2. Stop wasting your energy arguing thing which have no meaning. Please utilize your energy in finding fix for the backlogs because there will never ever be a bill/set of provisions only for Eb3 or only for Eb2.

Assuming thay the information they will share is what all of us are seeking, it is not going to be a bad deal if we can find 500 people willing to chip in for this initiative (I am an optimist guys).
If they are going to give out the information, then it should be ok to pay $5k.
Questions are:
a) How soon will the work be finished?
b) Can they please integrate this request into their processes that they generate the numbers periodically, such that visa bulletins reflect demand appropriately?

I am really concerned. Employers will lobby for increase in H1-B.
Well, at least most of them. If it comes to either H1-B or GC, they will obviously opt for H1-B increase.
So, if in the last minute, only H1-B is increased and not GC (Anything can happen behind closed doors negotiations) we will have more H1-B with the GC dream and suffering like us.
I think our Web fax should categorically state that we support Only GC related provisions in the skill bill. Else, at least, I plan not to sign the petition.
We don�t want to be supporting a cause outside of ours that will eventually indirectly
affect us. It will also affect many starry eyed new H1-Bs chasing their ever elusive GC dream. Haven�t we all had enough.
Excellent Point. Its defenitely not in any of the employer's interest to worry about EB issues. Infact they prefer people being in H1. and I certainly do not want to support that. There are good chances that congress increase H1 quota and we end up supporting the wrong cause. As far as IV is concerned, I would even go to the extent of saying that we should not support H1 causes, as there are enough candidates in H1 here undergoing EB problems. Thanks for bringing out an excellent point regarding this bill. My opinion is, if EB issues are not stressed properly, this bill will be viewed as "INCREASE FOR H1B BILL".. my 2 cents.

All,
Is LUD mandetory after finger printing? I applied for EAD for my wife and me on 5/21. Sent supporting docs and had LUD on 5/23. Went for finger printing on 6/10 but no LUD so far. I am concerned if the finger printing center sent the data to USCIS or not. Our EAD expired 7/30 so I am concerned.
Thanks

It happened because of relentless canvasing of the media until the story got out and embarrassed the government. "Supporting the troops" is a no-brainer for a politician wanting to score political points. Most Americans could care less about immigrants or other citizens who are married to them. So there is no political urgency to solve that "problem." Although the media has reported that the exclusion of legal immigrants was "unintended," my sources say that the exclusion was intentional.
I had hoped to embarrass the government further by exposing the connection to a known "hate group," but the media has refused to report that part of the story. If I could get the media to expose the racist origins of this law, we might have some hope, but don't count on it.
The next phase is to focus on legal options.
This is really interesting. Legal immigrants - their rights and well-being hinges on political points over which legal immigrants have no influence. Very interesting and disappointing at the same time.
You tried your best Totoro. Thanks for all the efforts you have been making and have made so far.

My greatest friend buddyinsfo, where were you for so long. I missed you all this time. How are things going man. How r the kids doing? I miss you on this forum buddy, you got to show up often, please.
You jerk, EVERY non profit need resources to "DO" stuff. EVERY non-profit has to have a revenue stream of some sort. Just because its a "non-profit" doesn't mean that everyone will give or do stuff free for a non-profit. Is that so difficult to understand for a "highly educated"/"highly skilled" immigrant such as yourself? The bandwidth you used to write your post for the audience of the world wide web, that was paid for by my hard earned $$$$. You want this group of folks to do stuff but you don't want to part with a dime. Nice.
But hey, who cares, lets get back to our favorite topic - complain about someone about something, shall we. Lets blame someone and vent out my frustration before I go to bed. If nothing else, it will be therapeutic. Idiot.
.
Is this the language 2 civilized people use to discuss or debate. When 2 people debate, both believe other is not right - thats why its called discussion or debate. Doesn't mean we need to use extreme or bad words.

I dont see anything which will allow us to file for 485 as soon as the labor is approved, s1932 had a point whcih would allow us to file for 485 without waiting for the priority date.
Or am I missing some thing.
If this amendment can be included, and all our provisions passed, then Bill Frist for president :D

I second you on that.But we must keep in mind,we know the law before coming here .Every immigration lawyer wants H4 law to be changed but, you know "USCIS".. they have handsfulll.
But even knowing what H4 entails is not so much helpful. Only when you experience it on your own, you realize what a bad move that was.
E.G. If I knew the time in H1/H4 is counted together I would not have accepted moving every 3-6 months with my husband on his projects. I would have done everything to get my H1 in my first year here and my husband would stay and change H1 sponsors every year if need be.
But no, it had to go other way.
Several imm lawyers misguided me in this H1/H4 time matte, until it was literally too late. Hiring time in my profession is tied to the beginning of the school year when all H1 visas are long long gone.
I was getting offers when I cannot get a visa and vice versa. Not a single school district wants to tend an offer 9-12 months in advance...
And - well, you all now how the story goes from there. We cannot buy a house, we cannot start our business, .....I guess we are just fed up with 'no - you can't do that' answer, every time we want to do something with our lives.
This 'on hold' situation lasts too long.
I am only staying here to further my professional education and benefit as much as I can, so that in the end the trade off is not going to be so bad..
......
7 years ago, when my hubby and I had enough of civil war in our home country, we were almost ready to send our papers under SW category and move to Canada.
As luck would have it, his H1 went through faster then we imagined, so we ended up in the US. I wish we had a foresight to go ahead with Canadian PR as soon as we came here. We would have been both much better off, already citizens, profesionally more satisfied and happy.

The other issue with sticking onto the current job is that the employer (if big corp) has a clause that says that you cannot work on any tech that you use in your job, external to the company. "Conflict of Interest" etc.
Open Source is a good avenue for IT people to keep their skillset current while doing good to the community.

Here are some of my own personal thoughts:
How can one tell a percentage number for something to pass? What kind of data can we base our calculations on?
Who said EB3 India will not forward next year? Did DOS say that? An individual lawyer is not Dept. Of State. I would like to see a written proof from DOS saying this so that we can plan ahead.
There were many naysayers for the July 2007 bulletin. But IV was able to get it current again. So stop believing in predictions and believe in yourself.
Thanks for your time and response!
I thought that anyone close to the bill processes or people who work on those, should be able to predict; probably know by now if this (HR 5882) is going to happen or not. Pappu, I bet you must be in a better position than me to know (not to decide, ofcourse) about the plight of this bill. I would be surprised if you deny.
It wasn't Ron's mere prediction but based on his discussion with Charles Oppenheim.
http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5456
This is what he understands from the conversation:
The strong impression that I took away from the converstaion, and this is only my interpretation, not what was said explicity, is the following:
The good news: the CIS backlog isn't as big as previously feared and their productivity is at an all time high;
More good news: China EB3 had almost caught up with worldwide EB3 and is likely to do so next year;
The bad news: when visa numbers become available again, India EB3 is going to be back where it was almost a year ago and it is not likely to move forward much in the next fiscal year.
More bad news: 40% to 45% of the entire backlog is Indian EB2 and EB3.
And barring, July 2007, EB3 I has moved only inches in the last 2-3 years and that's how much it would move in the next 2-3 years (and that's assuming a similar efficiency pattern that USCIS exhibited this year).
I am not trying to open a new can of worms here but reminding of an old one that is already existing - EB3 India. The most priviliged to remain in this god damn queue for as long as they wish and even beyond that.
