Basic problem is immigration numbers. If they give 12 million immigrants to green card then they will bring multiples of millions by marriage and family based immigration. That is the main reason for making illegal immigrants to wait years and cut down the family based immigration. That is good reason for Bush to get some more republican support. But Kennedy and other hardcore democrats does not want to consider the restriction in family based immigration. It is going to be tough decision.
In case of legal immigration meaningful debate was not done. Though everyone accepts the skil bill but the current form is going to be changed when they serious about passing it. Right now they accepted all the proposals of Corporation and pro immigrants in the skill bill as they know it is going to be changed.Here also immigration numbers matter. For them passing skil bill with Durbin bill to put restrictions so that it can satisfy both immigrants and anti immigrants.
Even if Durbin bill passed the impact is going to be minimal for current GC waiters. Because if skil bill is passed then everyone's PD will become current and they can file 485 and get EAD. But Durbin bill is going to be bad for future H1b aspirants. But I bet still cap is going to be reached even Durbin bill is introduced as our Indian skilled persons will overcome the conditions and survive.
The restrictinists want to reduce, short of eliminating immigration and deporting existing immigrants, immigration. There is no way they want to support any immigration. So why is their darling senator sessions promoting a merit based system, and has pal Loo Dobbs, cheering him on when clearly they're against H1B and employment-based immigation, which is already the main channel of merit/skilled workers?
Its all a strategy to slow down CIR and make it so complicated in the short window of time that is there, so the effort collapses under its own weight. Even if somehow Sen Sessions' recommendations on a merit system are implemented, he is still voting against CIR.
I don't know why the serious Senators are negotiating with this man when they all know he is definately going to vote against CIR. What do you think??

Loo Dobbs, May 4
Both sides in Congress tonight are continuing negotiations over so-called immigration reform legislation. Legislation that would, in effect, give amnesty to millions of illegal aliens in the country. And some lawmakers are trying a different approach for those trying to enter the country legally.
As Lisa Sylvester now reports, one proposal would create a merit system -- imagine that -- a merit system for immigrants to earn U.S. citizenship.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
SYLVESTER (voice over): The United States hands out more than a million green cards every year. The majority, 58 percent, are granted based on family ties. But some lawmakers say skills and merit should be the deciding factors.
Senator Jeff Sessions gives an example of two men from Honduras.
SEN. JEFF SESSIONS (R), JUDICIARY COMMITTEE: One is a valedictorian who took English in high school, took advantage of radio or television to learn English and speak it well. Maybe has a year or so of technical school.
That individual would have no chance of coming, and would have -- be competitively at a total disadvantage to a high school dropout who happened to be the brother of someone who is a citizen of the United States.
SYLVESTER: Senator Sessions has proposed a merit-based program as a fix to the nation's broken immigration system. Applicants would be given points based on criteria, including education, English proficiency, and work history.
Canada, Australia, and the U.K. all have adopted point systems. British applicants are scored on a 100-point scale. There they have to earn at least 75 points, pass an English fluency test, and agree not to rely on public assistance.
The system is structured so that jobs are not taken away from citizens and immigrants are not a financial drain. Some economists say that's not the case in the United States.
ROBERT RECTOR, HERITAGE FOUNDATION: Over the last 20 years or so, the United States has imported about 11 million people without a high school degree through both the legal and illegal immigration channels.
SYLVESTER: But critics worry under-emphasizing family ties will hurt the poor.
REP. SHEILA JACKSON LEE (D), JUDICIARY COMMITTEE: To me, it demeans individuals who are coming as laborers, who have come in years past, who have been -- rose up the -- if you will, both the intellectual and economic ladder.
SYLVESTER: Under the Sessions proposal, spouses and dependent children would be allowed in as well, but extended family would not be given an automatic path, putting an end to the current practice known as chain migration.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
SYLVESTER: The points idea is gaining momentum on Capitol Hill. Senator Chuck Hagel has introduced legislation that would apply to the 12 million-plus illegal aliens in the United States. Instead of letting them all stay, they would be ranked by points to decide who receives a green card and eventually citizenship -- Lou.
DOBBS: Perhaps this is the beginning of rationality beginning to settle in as a possibility with the elected officials in Washington in both the Senate and the House, but it is only that, a beginning.
It is fascinating to go look at what -- and as we have been reporting here for some time -- the immigration policies of nations around the world and compare them to the United States, and to hear Sheila Jackson Lee, the congresswoman, suggest that this is anti- poverty. When you look at the number of immigrants that we bring in to this country lawfully, it's absurd.
SYLVESTER: It is true, and we have reported on this, that the United States has the most generous immigration system in the world. You stack it up against the U.K. and Australia, they have English fluency exams. They want people to make sure they're not on public assistance.
They have very strict requirements. And in the United States it looks like we just sort of opened the door. DOBBS: And everyone who is honest on this issue knows that if we strip away public assistance from this -- from illegal immigration into this country from those who are emigrating here illegally, you're going to see a marked, marked downturn in that illegal immigration and very, very quickly.
It's complicated, but it's at least nice to see the beginnings, at least, the glimmer of rationality in that fair city of yours, Lisa, Washington, D.C.

Did review the link, mentioned in the first post of this thread
http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.g...11_8-23-07.pdf
The document just gives the education of foreign workers from various countries, Does not give break by EB2 or EB3, Do know many guys with Masters in EB3 category, still this shows the long wait.
Other interesting thing to note, of the certified labors, 28.3% went to India, 9.3% to China, 6.7% South Korea, etc... Also some people file I-485 without Labor certification, not all of them belong to EB1, some of these cases fall under EB2, and this data is for the period March 28 2005 - Sep 30 2006, so this does not include the certified labors prior the March 28, 2005 and after Sep 30, 2006. Also they are many folks who got their labor certified in 2003/2004 with PD 03/04, but are now waiting in line for 485 approvals (Folks files I485 prior to retrogression (Jan 2005) and sure Backlog ellimination center approved more cases in last one year than before (Since Sec 30, 2006), If considering all this, the actual numbers might be much more, given the 140,000 fixed visa per year and with no option to capture the unused visa and a 7% per country limit, folks from retrogressed country have a long wait time.
There is no solution to this "with the current system" except to wait for your visa number for years
and
any solution to this like increase in visa number, remove per country limit or increase it, recapture unused visa number, eliminating dependents from counting towards the visa number, etc..etc.. cannot happen without the blessing from Congress and sadly this is not of an important issue for the congress at this moment, simply because they do not know or not aware of this.(eg. Seen many time H1B refereed to as immigrant visa by some familiar faces, even though it is a Non-Immigrant Visa).
The best we can do is to educate people on these issues and make them realize this issue is a real problem, once then we can see some action towards this. This is easy said than done.... and we have to really fight very hard to get there.

It could be the other way around. The new people try to look it up and they may come across the new guidelines. They may actually prove better than the old guys who assume they are the gurus in Immigration and they dont have to look anything up.
But who educate these new recruits? The same old guys who assume they are the gurus.
You just call NSC or TSC, they'll just say you are stuck in NC. Ask them about the new memo and there it goes. NO CLUE.

Hello Va_labor2002,
Thank for positing information about lame duck session from Mathew Oh's site. However, this is not yet a confirmed report yet. The current situation is that everybody is waiting for a decision on the length of lame duck session. If the leadership (in the congress) decides to do 6 weeks lame duck session, in that case we will get an appropriate vehicle for our provisions. But if the Senate/House leadership decides to do a 2 weeks lame duck session, in that case there would not be any bill.
We have a plan and we are on top of things. Also, please know that with your support, Immigration Voice is also growing stronger and we get more update info. But acting prematurely would not help in anyway. Webfax is a very important component of IV�s efforts. IV (and other like minded organizations) are all keeping our fingers crossed, hoping for a decision for a 6 weeks lame duck session.
Thanks,
WaldenPond
Thank you for your update. We strongly support your goals and tactics.I am very sure that we will succeed very soon.
Good luck and best wishes.

Gurus,
I received an email today that my approved (12/2005) EB2 140 petition has been transfered to TSC. Orignal 140 & 485 was filed at VSC & 485 got transfered in the mass transfer to TSC in 03/2007. I have used AC-21 in 04/2007. Why would an approved 140 be transferred now? Here is the email text:

Your employer can do nothing about PW determination by SWA, if your employer has requested OES wage detrmination. The PW is mainly determined by the "requirements" not by "job duties/description". If the wage for your position is bargained by the union, then, your employer may counter with SWA by showing the bargain agreement to determine the PW.
On the other hand, if your employer seeks only 3 or 4 years experience, then they may consider level 3

Good question. Not sure but could it be related to your tax filing status with IRS? Years filed under 1040-NR as a student might not count. I know students can take certain US tax exemptions due to treaties with home countries.

I found an article reg. the situations with the green cards...i dont know how much its true, but worth reading
http://dailyheadlines.uark.edu/5254.htm
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. - In most work situations, employees respond to perceptions of unfulfilled employer obligations by bad-mouthing the employer, skipping work or finding a new job. But researchers at the University of Arkansas wanted to know how workers with extremely limited employment options react to these perceptions, which are known as "psychological contract breaches" in labor-management relations
The researchers conducted in-depth interviews with "job-constrained" foreign workers in the United States and discovered that employee responses to psychological contract breaches vary dramatically depending on the specific employment circumstances. Rather than venting emotions toward their employers, not showing up for work or looking for a different job, job-constrained employees develop specific coping tactics to help them deal with breaches. Furthermore, the researchers discovered that these tactics allow job-constrained workers to remain motivated and dedicated to their jobs.
"If there are (psychological contract breaches) in a traditional work setting, employees get angry, tend to be less motivated and are more likely to leave their jobs," said Vikas Anand, associate professor of management in the Sam M. Walton College of Business and lead author of the study. "In our study, the job-constrained workers were highly motivated. In fact, in many cases, work became the one thing that gave them joy. They were immersed in their jobs."
The workers' specific employment circumstances help explain their response to psychological contract breaches. The researchers interviewed 60 professional contract employees, all software engineers from India. The workers were recruited and hired by so-called "bodyshoppers," U.S.-based firms that hire foreign software engineers and arrange for visas that allow the engineers to work in the United States. The visas are classified by the federal government as temporary, and only sponsoring employers can apply for them on behalf of alien workers.
After hiring the foreign workers, bodyshoppers then assign or rent their employees to work on short-term projects with major American corporations. The workers, sometimes called contractors, are job-constrained because they are at the mercy of the bodyshopper, who controls the visas.
"Many of these workers arrive in the United States with a dream of a better standard of living and a desire to remain as long as they can," Anand said. "However, if the bodyshopper were to terminate their employment, they would then have to leave the country."
The contractors must remain with a bodyshopper for three to six years before they can acquire a green card for permanent residence. During this time, if they are unhappy with their employer, their options for changing or improving the situation are extremely limited. Also, contractors are reluctant to change bodyshoppers because that would re-initiate the lengthy green-card process. The problem is further complicated by the workers' limited legal rights due to lack of citizenship and a prevailing attitude among contractors that litigation should be avoided at all costs.
Because of these constraints, contractors do not challenge employers directly. Instead of pursuing legal action, filing a grievance with an employer or displaying dysfunctional behavior typical of employees without job constraints, the contractors immerse themselves in their work and tolerate their employers throughout the visa-application process.
Interviews with 60 contractors revealed five predominant coping strategies contractors use to put up with bodyshoppers:
# Detachment: Employees distance themselves from organizations and function almost independently. They become satisfied with limited communication with the bodyshopper or a belief that their client, the company that has an agreement with the bodyshopper, is their employer.
# Selective Social Comparisons: To maintain a positive image about themselves and the organizations they work for, employees compare themselves to other employees who have had worse experiences.
# Lowered Expectations: Employees maintain low expectations to curb dissatisfaction and disappointment.
# Hope and Cynicism: Employees maintain hope for the future by focusing on long-term goals, such as obtaining their green card, while remaining cynical about their employer and believing the bodyshopping system itself is flawed.
# Social Buffering: Employees insulate themselves from their employer by forming a group of people facing similar circumstances. This provides a social bulwark against outside threats.
Congrats man.

Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later.
So does "ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice" means. Does that mean we need to go for inperson Interview....
myvoice23 any updates on these.
When you receive the I-797C Approval notice. Read that notice, If it says anything to go to local office do that. Otherwise, relax and enjoy your GC freedom.
I got my approval notice and read completely I don't have to do anything. It is just a message is different.

Going back for 1 year and coming again for another 6 years is fine...however, he will be subject to H1B quota, which is right now at 65,000 and there is a real shortage of those each year.
So coming back is not easy, unless he has an employer who will fedex his H1 petition on April 1st for the fiscal year he plans to come.

This is all B_____S_____ as you all know that even CIR is not for people like us it is for Illegal people unfortunately we are the only fool who is paying taxes and still in the que which is not to be noticed by any one and they have strong reason for not to notice us.
> we are still paying taxes and paying for our reneval's $$$$$$.
> getting us the green card will not be a big news in the coutry for Politician to cash it for vote bank.
> we do not have choice as we all a stuck in this que can not go back as we have bought houses and have family here and have a habbit to work like a dog for the same employer for past few years so what difference would it make to continue working for another 2 years when the economy will be back to normal.
Freinds nothing is going to change the only thing i say would work will be a bill which will soly advocating recapture of unused visa, i mean to say a bill which does not have anything else no other demands just recapturing the unused visa and thats the only way we will get our GC faster or other wise we will be doing what exactly these potician's wants us to do (Includeing President Obama).
this is all waste of your valueable time be focus we do not want to advocated anything else apart from our demad which is recapture the unused visa.
I hope this is pretty straight to understand.
And sorry if i hurt anyone's sentiments.
Best Regards

But don't get disheartened. There will alway be people who will recognize the contribution and contribute themselves to this effort. I have some ideas to raise money but will share with the team later once this 485 fiasco is settled.
U r right. Some folks may not be happy even if IV dramatically gets a GC for everybody today itself. I understand what u r saying.
