Guys, nothing happens by sulking and it is never easy. Are you so easily giving up the fight for a cause which can impact you in such a positive way? WE HAVE TO KEEP TRYING. As long as there is 1% chance I will keep working to make it 100%. We need to encourage each other and contribute to help IV in its effort and not to be demoralizing for others.

All,
Please use this opportunity to contact Congressmen and White House - it's extremely easy and simple to do so! All you have to do is fill in your address and send a message which will automatically be faxed to each of the targeted Congressmen as well as the White House. I just spent the following message - feel free to use this as a template:
Subject: "What is the RoadMap for reforming Legal Immigration Process?"
Message: "I am writing today to express deep concern about the legal immigration process! Are you aware that there are over a million legal and highly skilled applicants,who have been working in this country legally and paying taxes, but are waiting in line for an Employment based Green Card, some for over 8 years? A majority of these Legal Immigrants have been impacted by horribly slow administrative processing by the Deparment of Labor between 2002-2006 which resulted in the pipeline for Legal Immigration becoming clogged at that time. Now that obstacle has been finally been cleared, the line of Legal Immigrants is coming up against annual limits to Legal Immigration (both overall and country based) followed by the USCIS. This is directly a result of the Deparment of Labor dragging its heels and holding up applications during over the years mentioned above, resulting in several hundreds of thousands of visa numbers going unused during that time. I request you to act now to relieve the pain and suffering of these Legal Immigrants by recapturing those unused Visa Numbers and allowing these Legal Immigrants to progress through the Immigration System.
This reform will strengthen the rights of all workers, value families, hold employers accountable, and move America forward. During the election, President Obama pledged to reform our nation's immigration laws in just this way. I am writing today because I want to see the plan to get this done.
Please let me know what the road map looks like to passing immigration reform. Our families, our communities, and our economy cannot wait any longer for this urgent reform.
Sincerely,"

This is a very good PDF on USCIS website..AILA has many rights to demand explaination from USCIS...they do ask questions about EAD extension etc...
We should figure out a way by which AILA demands answers from USCIS regarding using the 140K wasted visas because of slow processing...
IV Seniors/Organizers....any inputs on this?

Team,
I am in eb3 with priority date jan/2007 and working with EAD and 485 pending.
my sponsered employer willing to promote me with my position and i was having thought of filing a new case in eb2 and port my eb3 priority date. my company has different sister company working in different areas, can I file my eb2 application from other sister company not from the company where my eb3 is filed?
Also I have 3 years degree and 1 year pgdca plus 10 plus years of experience. I wanted to know if you know anybody who filed eb2 with 3 years degree and 1 year pgdca? according to my research i may have trouble at 140 stage?
if my eb2 gets denied, what happens to my eb3 case?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Matt.
It is good idea. I discussed this my lawyer and according to him, nowadays USCIS is very strict about it and trying to match the requirements of EB2 against the candidate's credentials. If it perfectly matches only they will approve. It will be an option for those guys with EB3 with PD past 2005 and with enough EB2 credentials, primarily a masters degree and if it from US, then great.
Please do not go into this option just by stating that I have 100 years experience with such and such company. I will say, if your are a masters degree holder (from US the best) and is employed with a major employer for more than 3-5 years, then only attempt this. Do not try it if you are employed with some Desi company. This is harm both the candidate and the employer.
My two cents worth!!!

Jun RN ur incorrect....this is the exact quote from the liasion Q/A
http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/AILAQandASept2007.pdf
"On top of already high receipts, we saw a dramatic additional increase in July. There were two principal reasons for this added surge. One was the Department of State July visa bulletin, which created an opportunity for hundreds of thousands to apply for permanent residence. While we continue to receipt the work we recently received, we project that we received over 320,000 adjustment applications due to the July visa bulletin. We also received a significant volume of concurrently filed petitions to sponsor the adjustment applicant as an immigrant worker, and over 400,000 applications for ancillary benefits such as employment authorization and travel authorization based on the filing of the adjustment application, for a total of almost 800,000 applications."
once again its 320,000 applications for our calculation purposes.
and 320,000 total I485 apps....they cannot figure our how many unique apps are there on such short notice

My employer has always provided me the receipt numbers. I'm talking about the physical receipt notice which I might need just in case i need to invoke AC21.
I am sure you(we) can use Freedom of information act to get reciepts. If you know that reciepts were issued and your employer is hiding

500,000 Legal immigrants in limbo:
lets say (I mean lets Tell them) 1/5 th of that # buy on an average $300K houses.
That equates to $30 billion.. Not a bad #. But I am sure all want to buy houses eventually. Thats $150 billion. Not a small #.
Lets say (again tell them).
1/100 th of 500,000 start companies, of 5 employees each=25,000 jobs.. Not bad again.
This idea is inline with our IV campaign that was discussed sometime back. We can tell in different forms to the media. Somebody may publish.
This is an interesting thought at first. However, I don't think it will hold water, especially in this environment. On the first item, assuming 1/5 will buy houses is a very optimistic number particularly given that many of those who can buy have already likely purchased a house. There is no legal hindrance in buying a house on a non-immigrant visa, hence it's a weak argument. Furthermore, it's a small number compared to the housing inventory.
Unfortunately, this is not a good time to push for immigration reform. The main counter-argument you will get right now is the need to preserve American jobs.

Somewhere in these forums I read somebody�s suggestion to rename the organization to legal-immigrants-first, or a similar sounding name. It may sound wholly redundant exercise to many of us, who are living the retrogression problem everyday, but it will make real difference in achieving our goals. We must first clearly identify and register ourselves in the eyes of leader of this country, before letting them know of our problems.
I second that wholeheartedly! Making them aware that we are not just about immigration, we are about LEGAL IMMIGRATION should be highlighted.

I just realized that I should probably provide some more details about my situation, which must appear very confusing right now. I came to the US in 1994 with my parents. Yes, I have actually attended from first grade through college graduation here without a green card. My parents have been screwed and screwed again by their employers and the system. Right now we're on my dad's 140+485, with an RFE just sent out for the 140. Try beating our story for fucked up.
One reason I'm making this thread is that I want to make sure my judgement about whether to go or to stay is not clouded by my inherent bitterness toward the US and its government on the one hand, or by an unrealistically rosy picture of what to expect in Canada on the other.
I greatly appreciate all the honest replies that have come in.:)

IV community is noting but you and me. IV is a friend. IV is there to help people.
Folks - one must also realize that talking to administration and getting things dione costs a lot of money through advocacy and IV needs a lot of money.
So please be generous enough to contribute to IV - we need a lot of funds in these times when we really needs help
Completely agreed with Chandu. As recently said by him, we have enough split: H1 vs GC, EB2 vs. EB3. Lets not create one more: Donor vs. Non-Donor.

Zcool,
I applied for my H-1B extension and got an RFE asking for contracts and client letters for the requested period i.e., for the next 3 years.
I see that they asked for client letters from you ... but did they ask for the next 3 years? and if so, did you guys reply the RFE with a client for 3 years?
I have been working at the same client for the last 3 years, through a vendor. Mine is a small consulting company. The client has been extending the contract in 6 month increments and I could get a client letter for the next 6 months only.
Same is the case with the contract.
I could not file for 140/485 in july, 07.. so do not have the EAD safety net.
Please advise.
Thank you.

- You are a dependent EAD holder
AND
- You will never need to travel outside US
AND
- Some one else takes care of renewing your EAD every year
AND
- Someone else pays the $340 + $200 (lawyer fees) to renew the EAD
AND
- The principal applicant is able to find job in "same or similar" if laid off so that I-485 is not jeopardized
AND
- You are never going to get laid off because if you are, then good luck, because there are lots of companies out there that explicitly require green card holders and citizens because they don't want to get into any type of immigration issues (illegal by law, so you can technically file lawsuit against them).

Hi,
Does anybody know of and have used any good lawyer for AC21 related matters from bay area in CA?
I reside in bay area and would like to consult a local lawyer regarding the "same or similar" nature of the new job that I wish to take using AC21.
The reason for requiring him to be local is to use his services, again if needed, during adjudication.
I appreciate any help in this matter.
I was also planning to phone consult Murthy.com lawyers and would like to know of any experiences.
Thanks

Thanks

Never go directly to a bank for your mortgage. Let the lenders fight for your money! Plus mortgage companies will combine a few loans together, present to the bank and get a overall lower (group) rate.

Have to agree that it appears to be the case. Look at I140... there is a 4 month difference between the 2 centers. How could that happen?! How come they did not balance the workload to ensure work is done in an orderly way? Probably it is pure mismanagement and incompetence???
