Here my 2 cents. Whether EB3 will move forward or not if you are in EB3 you are not in a position to chose. You have only two choices either be in USA or leave. If you decide to stay there is not harm promoting for these new immigration legislations. Even though it may have slightest chance, you have nothing to loose supporting it and working for it. In case it succeeds, you will get your green card much faster than normal process.

Lets do the best we can. If it does not work, we are no worse than where we already are.
A group of us just went to Lamar Smith's Austin District Office and detailed his liason about the bills, benefits and information about IV. She said she will have them Fedex'd today to their Washington office and keep us informed about congressman's stand.
Thanks for doing that for us, Iskreddy! A visit to his office will definitely help.

I think very few people will disagree with the fact that EB2 I will retrogress in OCT. Reason for this is DOS always tends to take conservative approach to set the cutoff dates in the first and second quarters.
2011 I love it!

Dont be surprised at the next VB or theone for October where EB2 india moves back to Apr 2004 ....DOS can always surprise you, as we have learned repeatedly, all calculations/bets are off when it comes to DOS.

Hi Pappu,
It is definitely a change. Americans are looking for a change. I am talking to friends to reconsider support for IV.
Here is a positive outcome, in my opinion:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061108/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/rumsfeld_resigns
Rumsfeld just resigned.
Regards,
Ombudsman
Its good that we have a democratic majority in congress. we also now have work cutout for us to contact new lawmakers. getting more members and members willing to work for local chapters is important at this time. we need to work with renewed vigour now and finish our task. pls help with increasing membership and join your state level chapter threads. I see only very few members have posted their interest. we need interest from each member in order to succeed. I am sure we will succeed. The good times are ahead of us but we need to take advantage of it.

Prince charming - I invoked AC21 sometime back after 180 days of filing 485 and moved to a new job on EAD.
My ex employer revoked 140. At this point of time I did a lot of research and found out the following things
(1) AC21 letter never reaches your file - there is no system in place for AC21 letter. G 28 gets into the system because there is a process in place for G 28
AC21 is a law that allows you to change jobs but there is no system in place.
(2) AC21 letter must be provided upon request - different officers want differtent information so they generally issue a NOID and ask you to submit evidence in 30 days. USCIS in some cases sends out straight denials. The denial letter generally has information to file MTR within 30 days if the case needs to be reopened due to USCIS error.
In August when my case was being processed, they sent me a NOID but sent my wife Fp notice - I called customer service and was advised that she can go for FP as usual but I have to respond to NOID before they move forward with my case and I promptly responded with AC21 and my case status changed to "Case reopened, response received" and there were soft LUDs hitting my 485.
Keep all documentation ready and be proactive, you can hire a good lawyer from MTR, remember that when you file for MTR, you cannot work - so before you inform your employer, get a letter from them and then inform them - in case employers will be reluctant to give any documentation if they know you cannot work for sometime. If you are on h1b you dont have to worry.
MTR approvals can take 3 to 5 weeks or more too.
if not on h1b you start accruing unlawful status and usually lawyers suggest that you stay till less than 180 days when your MTR is filed - it never takes 180 days for a decision on MTR so dont worry about unlawful status.
These are hidden risks in AC21 but good news is that AC21 cases have always been successful.
You may have to go through this period of uncertainity.
Good luck.

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.

If you are from India or from a country which fought for its freedom, you would not ask this question.
When M.K.Gandhi held his first rally against the British rulers(nothing personal here Franklin and Mark :) ), it did not result in immediate freedom, but was it worthless ?
It's not just India that won freedom either, don't forget USA!
Although I do admire Gandhi's approach more.
STAND UP AND BE COUNTED.
If Britain still ruled India, I'd probably be marching with you in India!
What would rather you tell your children, "I sat at home and read the forums", or "I marched in the streets".

This is a basic supply and demand issue.
When H1-B yearly cap is getting used up within days, what is the reason for allowing H-4 to work.
The only way you would see a change in the rule is when there are not many H1-B takers, and they need to attract more families.
Don't get me wrong, i am not trying to say H-4s should not be given the oppertunity. Just think in terms of the need for this country. Not our personal needs.

I have many positive experiences with Fragomen.
My RIR case was first filed in 2001 by a different lawyer and he screwed it up. It got rejected by DOL and bumped back to non-RIR. When the BEC was about to take the case for processing, my company hired Fragomen for the processing. Fragomen reviewed my case, worked with me, prepared and filed a new Labor petition in 24 hours as I was reaching my 6th year limit.
When PERM was introduced, they worked with me to convert my traditional labor filing to PERM.
During the July VISA bulletin fiasco, they kept communicating well and worked overtime (I used to get emails around midnight sometimes) and filed my case. They even followed up and made sure that I was going to attend my finger printing appt when they got the courtesy copy.
They do well with email replies. I have never called them and hence, not sure about responding to calls. But I never had a requirement to call them as they normally reply to emails within 1 working day.
Since Fragomen is so big, they might have a small percentage of attorneys / para legals who are not customer focussed. I have dealt with 3 different attorneys / para legals withing Fragomen, and I have high regards for them.

Patience my friend - iv is a disparate group of people some of whom like you are hungry for action and others who are busy caught up in stuff. Getting to organize a group is tough in the best of times and given the current environment when they are in the line of fire of congressmen backed by hordes of hate-mongers and anti-immigrants masquerading as public-policy specialists and grassroot actvists with a friendly media filled with reporters who are ambivalent about immigration themselves, you can't expect a group to form overnight to tap your energy and skills! Why don't you do some research meanwhile - I have been trying to find out something about the director of a group called cis which wields enormous - or ginormous is more appropriate- influence on the current debate and I cant find anything about him beyond where he went to school! granted he is not a politician so we're not entitled to personal details and i'm least interested in it but for someone actively influencing public policy and discourse with millions of lives on the line, so very little is known about them. Once again, dont expect people to be courteous and receptive to courtesy overnight.

I think for first meeting 10-12 are enough. Let us meet and decide upon the strategy to have more people. I would prefer not to have lot of people in the first meeting.
Never say that. We need everyone. This discourages those who are on the fence.
I am saying this by experience - being a non profit and no obligation group - many people who want to do something - are just sitting on the fence finding it tough to decide whether to make the jump or not - a very good example is the rally. Most people just wanted to see how the response is and then jump in.
Every member in IV is a very crucial member - everyone has skills that he/she can contribute so just get as many people as possible - keep them intact - this is very essential. If people start backing out - others will lose morale. And slowly people will stop showing interest and when something drastic happens everyone will start blaming IV for not doing its job and will ask IV for doing fast actions.
We worked extremely hard to build the Tri State team so did California folks and other folks are catching up - it involves a lot of hard work and you will be constantly attacked by people for no fault of yours, but it is very essential that you keep up the tempo and morale - patience and perseverence is the key here for building the team. Aggression and passion must be combined to lead something.
At Tri State we recongize everyone. Everyone in this area have worked extremely hard with a lot of dedication and commitment - words will not be enough to describe their commitment. A lot of people say - Tri State was a let down for the rally - but in reality - as we have seen 1500+ members, a lot of people drove over in the last minute from Tri State Area.
It takes a lot to build a team. So get as many people as possible involved.
Come on my dear Michigan folks - Ford and Chrysler must give us atleast 10,000 members. Please wake up from your slumber. People sitting on the fence must jump right now. yes, this is the time - just join us. Help IV to help yourselves

No immigrant Visa is available until the thing is current. From my understanding, Adavnce Parole is not a visa. Quoting from the net.
"Advance Parole is permission for certain foreign nationals, who do not have a valid immigrant visa, to reenter the U.S. after traveling abroad"

i dont think its a controversy. mr. Gotcher does not agree with the interpretation. Maybe its a way to generate some additional revenues for his firm by increased traffic to the blog and potentially a class action lawsuit on behalf of the ROW people.
