Piyushpan, I see this provision as:
1. If you have an advanced degree from the US after the bill is passed
2. If you are smart enough for EB1 self-sponsorship OR can find an employer to sponsor you as Eb1 or Eb2
3. Either way, you need to go through I140.
4. Then you can file for Adjustment of Status, either concurrently, or after the 140.
I am not sure if you will still be subject to the numerical quota, or if you have to go through labor cert..
I think the intent of the provision is that this category of people not be subject to labor certification, but there is no language in the bill that says that.
Hi,
Based on the summary if you re-look at the student visa section of Bill Frist's bill
`(2) STUDENT VISAS- Notwithstanding the requirement under paragraph (1)(C), an alien may file an application for adjustment of status under this section if--
`(A) the alien has been issued a visa or otherwise provided nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv), or would have qualified for such nonimmigrant status if section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv) had been enacted before such alien's graduation;
`(B) the alien has earned an advanced degree in the sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics;
`(C) the alien is the beneficiary of a petition filed under subparagraph (E) or (F) of section 204(a)(1); and
`(D) a fee of $1,000 is remitted to the Secretary on behalf of the alien.
`(3) LIMITATION- An application for adjustment of status filed under this section may not be approved until an immigrant visa number becomes available.'.
What this really means is a masters student can adjust to immigrant visa status although his visa application will get approved only when the visa is available. If i have understood this correctly this means that this is similar to the S-1932 provision wherein you can adjust your status although approval will happen only when immigrant visa is available.(provided one is masters)
Or have i got this wrong?
Comments? If i am interpreting this correctly it is another big boost for people who have either not worked 3 yrs as yet on H1B or have a masters degree unrelated to the profession they are working in.

One change I noticed.
Now people can continue in the old system if the I-140 was approved or pending before the first day of the fiscal year subsequent to the the bill being enacted. So if the bill is passed right away, you need to have filed your I-140 before Oct 1 2007.

(1) Write down the number and what you want to speak in a piece of paper
(2) If you are working, you may want privacy. Step out of the office for a 10 min break with your cell phone
(3) Go to a calm place - could be a garden or a lobby or a rest area or a parking lot or inside your car.
(4) You can also go for a small ride in your car (make sure you have hands free or bluetooth)
(5) Just call the number
(6) There is a person on the other side who is very much human like you
(7) This person is a staff and is doing his/her duty.
(8) Speak out clearly - have a pleasant conversation
(9) After the call - feel proud you are a part of democratic process
(10) Update folks on IV that you proudly finished an action item
(11) Encourage others to do this
Keep smiling and be happy
God bless us all :)

I understand the need to gain grassroots strength, But at the same time I expect that IV core members to do better than arbitrary curt responses directing everyone to state chapter on this forum.
I am sure IV core do better, like for example, well crafted sticky memo explaining the need for state chapters/grassroots strength and dangers of remaining only an internet based group of anonymous members and why agenda of the IV will not be discussed or revealed in this forum. There was one good post explaining this.
Such a professional explanation is required to gain the respect of the newcomer on this forum and his views and at the same time promoting IV objectives.
IV and rest of us need each other to get this huge problem fixed.
actually the need for grassroots strength and chapters has been repeatedly explained. and i mean repeatedly. please see pappu's initial post which continues on previous efforts. as for nebraska, we have actually worked with some folks on staring a chapter. ultimately after providing info and direction we need members to so the work themselves, set up a chapter, collect members, use forum threads to motivate, schedule meetings etc etc
all this sometimes takes time. that effort continues.
i have personally done the explanations on numerous occasions and explained that we are not an internet forum AND used the very words you speak- iv is nothing but you and me. without each one of us there is no iv. you will be surprised at some of the responses this brings.
please take a moment to understand that lots of members show up from time to time asking the same questions and raising the same old issues. that is why we encourage everyone to be involved. being involved with chapters and/or engaging with other iv actions etc does keep a sense of community and is a ready source of information and updates. not that many take the advice and so the message has to be repeated. most of the encouragement is done by active dedicated members not by the core team.
please also take a moment to reflect on the fact that active members of this organization are less than 1% of it's strength on paper. many of the remaining 99% are not "newbies". motivating such reluctant "highly skilled" members and keeping an organization of 25,000 together- and being constantly questioned on "results" (people want to know they will get x by date y BEFORE the participate- and i am quoting this) is a yeoman's task at the best of times for the small group of dedicated volunteers that are working everyday at cost to their jobs and families. at least two iv leaders have separately travel led to DC this week for key meetings. several others have spent the last couple of weeks and weekends in iv meetings, running booths at local events and attending lawmaker meetings locally.
please be constructive in your role, we can use your energy and enthusiasm, but an attitude of engagement is critical rather than asking why iv core is not doing this or that.....

I see that there is a lack of understanding about what "special" labor cert means.In the context of univ profs it means that the university is allowed to justify hiring an alien based on the fact that he was the BEST qualified candidate for the postion - that is, the univ is allowed to reject other minimally qualified applicants. This is currently not the case for other junta in either EB-2 or EB-3 .. if ANY minimally qualified american citizen / PR is found, the labor cert is denied.
If this is extended to EB2 / people with advanced STEM degrees as Frist Bill proposes, the labor cert will become quicker and painless for these folks (not to mention the immigration attorneys and the employers).

Hey guys,
if you look at Page 8 of I-131, USCIS says that if you filed I-485 after July 30,2007, then you don't need to pay the $305 fees.
Assuming one filed I-485 on 1st August 2007, will he/she be exempted from this fees? Anyone had been in such situation?
You do not have to pay fees, if you had filed your I-485 with the new fees. If you 485 was filed based on July 07 VB or earlier, then you still have to pay fees. The July fiasco as we all know, there are a extension till Aug 17 to file I-485 with the old fees, these applicants still have to pay fees for AP renewal even if filed between Aug 1 through 17

Guys who are frustrated..i totally commiserate with all of you who are stuck in BEC..All the july filers would be eligible to file for their 485s and would get their EAD's ad AP's a couple of months earlier than the folks stuck in BEC.The BEC folks would get them too when the dates move starting Oct 1st.
Its ultimately the PD thats important for the green card..since you already have your PD much before than the june fliers,you always have your place in the GC line. Unless you guys come and join us its not gonna move...

The amendment was sponsored by Senator Ensign (R-Nevada) who said his staff discovered that the stimulus payments would go to illegal aliens.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSXqiyqLVd4
In reality, the change was the result of lobbying by FAIR, an anti-immigrant group:

FAIR is accused of having ties to White Supremacists.

Contributed $100 today thru paypal.
Transaction ID: 4VB006771Y2661642
I have contributed several times in the past and was also a monthly subscriber of $20 until I closed my credit card account due to a fraudulent transaction. I had been in bench since the beginning of this year ( down but NOT OUT :) ). Fortunately was able to get a permanent job just last month. This means moving to a new place. Therefore I am not in a position to join the advocacy efforts at DC. Wish IV the very best and I am sure our efforts would not go in vain. I am an eternal optimist and so I am confident that our good days are round the corner.:D
PS. Admin please check your past records, and provide me donor access.

Mea Culpa. I'm the culprit here :).
I requested for the meeting close to weekend. It turned out some other new chapters were also in the same boat. Core put us together in the same call, which helped, as our issues are more or less the same. Timing was inconvenient for cagedcactus due to personal reasons. Yet he participated (which we should appreciate). Some veterans also nearly-missed the call as everything got finalized a few hours before it.
Regarding nearby states, we can try to accomodate Indiana (IN) and Ohio (OH), and my be Wisconsin (WI), the states that border Michigan, that is if they already don't have an active chapter.
I missed it, not aware of it, not sure why. I am glad to see this chapter grow. There was a time where we were searching for folks with torchlights. Thanks to Chintu, walking_dude, cagedcactus, bestin and all others who are now making this happen.
I have a very close friend in Michigan, and asked him to join, but he talks about all hardships, about his HR manager, about his company, about his lawyer, about everything except IV stuff. I am sure there are many more people here doing the same thing. We have to motivate folks to come forward. We cannot afford to have people who are inactive.
Good luck to you all, try to merge folks from nearby states if they are still not organized until they get organized.

You get what you pay for, in a way.
I am indifferent towards AI since I have traveled only once on AI & my experience was reasonable.
However, I found this article in TOI today -
NEW DELHI: In a show of compassion towards a bereaved passenger who had to rush to Chennai but was short of cash, Air India officials at the Indira
Gandhi International airport here pooled in money to pay for his ticket.
M Pandian, 40, had lost one of his dear ones in Chennai and reached IGI airport in the morning with a hope of getting a seat in any of the low-cost carriers.
"After reaching airport, he tried to get a ticket in the low-cost carriers, but the timings and the ticket prices did not suit him," an airport official said.
With the hope of getting a low fare ticket on an Air India flight, he reached the ticketing counter where he found the ticket price to be Rs 5,059.
As he had just Rs 4,200 in cash and had no ATM or credit card, Air India officials present at the spot came to his rescue and pooled the deficit amount of Rs 800 to pay for his ticket on flight IC-429 for Chennai.
Pandian profusely thanked them for their humanitarian gesture and took the flight.
