Hi Ramki,
I think this question is better answered in a discussion environment ....
Let us all fix a time to meet on Immigration voice chat some time this week night or weekend to discuss ideas.
We can meet tomm at 9.30 EST for an hour or so ?
Please confirm availability those who can
Hi Chintu,
First of all, your willingness to share info that is beneficial to others is appreciated. When is the chat / telecon scheduled? I remember seeing something about yahoo chat, but not sure where it is gone (blame that friday night partying... :eek:)
Lemme know. Thanks!

I agree, titles like "H4 to H1", "Changing Employers", "Urgent question" etc. etc. will obviously be visited more.
May be a gentle reminder about contributions in other topics would help.
How sad it is that we don't get support from our own.
Yes, and the majority of the 8000 members can keep discussing other things. we only need 882 members like us. Lutherpraveen, I have hope that there are 872 people out there that are ready to contribute.

I just called them now. I was lucky enough to talk to the operator. She said I should be getting it in a week. I guess they have a back log. She couldn't tell me anything else. BTW my application was received on Sep 11th. Money order was cashed on Sep 23rd. Still in process not shipped yet. I called 713-626-2148 and pressed 1 then 9 and when it asked for voice mail or operator I pressed 0 for operator. I kept pressing 0 until someone answered.
And I just got my passport. :)

Okay for the record from my side (Vijay's side of the story). The GPS girl had a sweet voice and she wouldn't talk to me unless I made a wrong turn. Finally I loved listening to her "Recalculating" and I could go on, until Puneet and Sumita interrupted. :p I was in fact contemplating on giving flowers to the GPS girl if not for logiclife's sweet reminder that only he had the rights to be "flowery" :D
May be that is the reason he did not accept flowers from needhelp! Well the bottom line counts, we all had food after long drive on a supposedly short route.
On a side note, someone told me D.C is was very nice to see at night, so was trying my level best to make Pratik, Jay and Vandana enjoyed sight seeing enroute to the restaurant!:)
it was 3:00 AM in the morning.
i think it was little late for sight seeing.
specially everyone wanted to eat KABOBS since evening.

Hi, Can somebody let me know, what would happen if first labor was approved from BPC (Not from PERM) and 2nd Labor is being filed in PERM (both from same employer)? Would DOL automatically deny the first labor or do some audit?

I am happy that many of our high skilled community has understood my idea and supporting this thread. Yes definitely Core IV needs to look into this. You can also include your valid points so that core IV team can consolidate and research on this.
IV or other organization
can propose
ANY one who has PAID US FEDERAL TAXES for Five Years ( Irrespective of their visa categories) and HAS MASTER OR HIGHER DEGREE IN THE STEM FIELDS, Should get their GC in THREE YRS after Getting their Greencard.
( Similar to marriage to citizen)

I believe it was not just IV, but also "public demand" which triggered the monthly contributions thing.
Plus, there are practical benifits: People contribute more over the year if they are paying small amounts monthly (This is the very reason for existence of loans and credit :) )
Plus, it evens out the cash flow for IV and makes it more predictable.
Good job IV.. I have signed up for $ 20.. will up it later (I have serious expenses coming up in the short term :p ) Of course, my pledge to contribute 5 % of my tax returns still stands independent of all this.
Why does IV prefer Recurring contributions..? to one time contributions?

How long does it take for a decision under EB2? I know the usual is 90 days but from your experiances is there a chance of an approval earlier?
Thank you.
Mine only took 9 days on 2005

Chronography of facts
EB was current from AUGUST 1999 until April 2000.
This warning was issued in the March 2000 VB:
VISA AVAILABILITY FOR APRIL(2000)
�Demand for immigrant visa numbers by INS for AOS cases in all categories, continues to be steady but has not reached the level requiring action at this time. It is anticipated that INS demand for numbers will require the establishment of visa cut-off dates for April in some or all of the CHINA-mainland born and INDIA Employment categories�.
In May 2000. EB2 was retrogressed to 01JUL97 for China and 01APR99 for India
In December 2000 VB the big announcement came:
Greater availability of EB immigrant visas: On October 17th, the President signed P.L. 106-313. Title I of this law is known as the "American Competitiveness in the Twenty-first Century Act of 2000" and contains amendments to the INA regarding EB immigrant visas.
In fiscal years 1999 and 2000, due in part to the per-country limits, the annual limit for EB immigrant visas was not reached. P.L. 106-313 makes the following changes in an attempt to rectify the situation with regard to per-country limits:
Section 106 recaptures those EB visa numbers that were available but not used in fiscal years 1999 and 2000, creating a "pool" of approximately 130,000 numbers. These numbers could be made available to applicants in the EB1, EB2 and EB3 preference categories beginning in fiscal year 2001.
Section 104 removes the per-country limit in instances where the overall applicant demand for EB visas is less than the numbers available without regard to those limits. This determination will be made quarterly, based on a comparison of the overall demand versus the available numbers. If the total number of available EB visas is greater than the number of qualified applicants who may otherwise be issued such visas (during the same period), the per-country limitations on EB visas will be lifted for the remainder of that quarter.
In May 2001 EB2 became current again for both India and China.
July 2001 VB:
EMPLOYMENT-BASED PREFERENCE CATEGORIES:
All categories have become "Current" for July, and are expected to remain so for the remainder of FY-2001. The cut-off date movement in all oversubscribed categories has been extremely rapid during the past year. This is because the FY-2001 limit is approximately 50,000 higher than normal, and legislative changes removed the per-country limitation if there are otherwise unused EB numbers available.
All categories are expected to remain "Current" for the foreseeable future.
January 2005 VB
OVERSUBSCRIPTION OF EB3 FOR CHINA, INDIA, AND THE PHILPPINES
June 2005 VB
EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY DURING THE REMAINDER OF FY-2005
During the past month there has been a significant increase in the amount of numbers being used by CIS offices for AOS applicants. This level of demand has significantly depleted the supply of EB numbers available under the annual limit. Recent discussions with CIS have made it clear that their backlog reduction efforts will sustain or increase the current level of demand. Therefore, continued visa availability in the EB categories cannot be guaranteed during the final quarter of FY-2005. If demand continues at the current rate, it will be necessary to oversubscribe many or all of the EB categories on a Worldwide basis. Such oversubscription could result in the establishment of cut-off dates, retrogression of already established dates, or some categories becoming �unavailable�.
July 2005 VB
EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY FOR JULY AND THE REMAINDER OF FY-2005
EB3 and Third Other Worker categories have reached their annual limits and no further FY-2005 allocations are possible for the period July through September.
September 2005 VB
EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY DURING FY-2006
The backlog reduction efforts of both CIS, and the DOL continue to result in very heavy demand for EB numbers. It is anticipated that the amount of such cases will be sufficient to use all available numbers in many categories. As a result cut-off dates in the EB3 category will apply to the China, India, and Philippines chargeabilities beginning in October, and it is possible that Mexico may be added to this list. In addition, it is anticipated that heavy demand will require the establishment of a EB3 cut-off date on a Worldwide basis by December.
The amount of Employment demand for applicants from China and India is also likely to result in the oversubcription of the EB1 and B2 categories for those chargeability areas. The establishment of such cut-off dates is expected to occur no later than December.
The level of demand in the Employment categories is expected to be far in excess of the annual limits, and once established, cut-off date movements are likely to be slow.
October 2005 VB:
EMPLOYMENT PREFERENCE VISA AVAILABILTIY
Item D in the September VB announcing the September cut-off dates provided information regarding the prospects of visa availability during the early months of FY-2006. Many categories have become oversubscribed for October, and cut-off dates established due to continued heavy demand for numbers by CIS for adjustment of status cases. Forward movement of the cut-off dates in these categories is likely to be limited.
And IV was born.
Have a nice weekend.
Very Good Post to know what has happened so far for EB category.

I am one of those guys who beleives everything happens for a purpose. I think voting on these ammendments took place for a purpose. Since the ammendments are already agreed to they can be attached easily to any other bill now. Like appropriations or even AgJobs bill.....
Hope for the best...
If the current bill that was agreed gets attached then according to Learning01(moderator) we will be in a big mess.After listening to him I think he is right.

we are all waiting so lets all wait together.

The GOVT should state that those who apply for H1 should make it mandatory for the employees to be in US within 30 - 45 days of obtaining US Visas and be present in US on employment in continous increments of 1 year. And they need to show pay stubs continously.
- Then we can easily filter out WIPRO, Infosys, Consulting company from misusing. For example Wipro will apply 5000 H1s and then send people when they eventually get a project, out of 5000, may be 1000 may show up in 6 months. So In this case 4000 H1s can get invalid. Indian companies find it sending people overseas is expensive business and would enjoy offshoring projects. If the govt makes this rule, consulting companues will be forced to start paying H1 folks from Day 1, no bench period, plus "Candidates need to show up in person immdlty in US". We kill 2 birds with 1 stone. 1, dummy H1s will not be applied, 2, if they approve H1s then they have to send engineers immdlty for which they may not be really ready, since they only anticipate projects and may not need so many H1s right away !...
THis will be a sure shot solution.

don't join IV just to declare your GC.
u leeched here and never contributed and now joining to tell everyone that u have GC now. Get lost.
I would not like to use such words like Leech without knowing the history of a member. It is derogatory.
I am happy that the person joined IV and maybe contributed to it. It is partly our fault that we all did not reach out to such people and convince them enough how they can be a part of the effort. Such members with few posts may be still thinking of IV just as forum for posting their case questions. They may think of IV just like any other tracker site or forum. If it is true then it is also a fault of each one of us because we have not raised the awareness enough. It does not really matter if they post 100 times or 1 time. There are some donors who have less than 10 posts but they have been silent supporters of IV as donors for a long time. Some such people have visited local lawmakers regularly and given feedback of their meetings to IV. Some volunteer their time to IV on regular basis. So its all not about money. They just do not have time to regularly visit IV. But they support the effort one way or another in behind the scenes work or contributing to it.
What I do not like are people who do not care about what we do even though they know about IV. Such people maybe having 1000 posts or no posts. They only contact IV when their own case is having problems. Whether it is EAD delays or I485 denial etc. They could be talking against IV all this time and then suddenly expect IV to devote its time and resources to help them. It is the quality of the community that defines who we are and when we come across such people it is shameful. Last year there was a very active member for several years (never contributed a penny but had 100s of posts) who became current. He used to post on approval thread like this one seeing who gets approval. When his anxiety level reached high, he sent me a PM saying he will contribute $25 to IV if IV can help as his case is current and USCIS is not taking action. Such are the incidents we come across and we really wonder if these are the highly educated folks we are fighting for. As I have said, the reason why this backlog still exists is because Immigrants stuck in the backlog are ok with it and do not care about removing it. There is no point blaming the system, if people in the system do not complain against it.

Susie, I can say quite strongly that IV's agenda is quite officially
"H1B quota is not an issue that we wish to take any sides on".
We are trying to reduce the backlogs as a primary goal.
The main aim is to reduce the backlogs which will also reduce the age out problem, but not fix for those already aged out. Believe me, even if this was the only issue on the agenda, it is hard enough to get this done.
If we don't fix the backlogs then age out will be irrelevant. Let's imagine that H1B quota is increased, and EB3 ROW never becomes current because of more H1B ROW newbies. Then EB3 India will never get any spill over. In this case new India EB3 applications could easily have a 25 year wait, by which time the primary petitioner will have retired invalidating the whole application. Thus you can see that increasing H1B quota works against us (although the official position is no position).
I am considering computer modeling this, because I think that the a 25 year wait is very possible with the current scheme (making age out easier to push maybe).
If there is an opportunity to provide ago out protection without risking the main aim then I think that it will be taken. First we need a seat at the negotiating table.
Until we get a seat at the table we have the trade off between raising age out complicates things, and raising age out keeps it personal. There has been some debate over the, I think that the professionals recommend "keep it simple".
My position on this is to raise the age out and other family issues like US citizen children being forced to leave because their parents are. But only raise it with those law makers it will clearly be received well with, and not be a distraction.
There are other issues worthy of targeting, but they too complicate things, and risk us not getting a seat at the table. For example banning consulting. This could force many to leave, including their children, through not fault of their own. I think that consulting should at very least be grandfathered, and have some other exceptions. But again pushing that would be a distraction.
As I said, if we get a seat at the table, this issue has a chance.
We are currently working on getting that seat.
Thanks for your post, support and understanding as you know many H1B children still age out as do many other children who entered the us legally.
I am so passionate about this issue if iv decide to do something I would help in any way I could

If there is an opportunity to provide ago out protection without risking the main aim then I think that it will be taken. First we need a seat at the negotiating table.
Until we get a seat at the table we have the trade off between raising age out complicates things, and raising age out keeps it personal. There has been some debate over the, I think that the professionals recommend "keep it simple".
My position on this is to raise the age out and other family issues like US citizen children being forced to leave because their parents are. But only raise it with those law makers it will clearly be received well with, and not be a distraction.
There are other issues worthy of targeting, but they too complicate things, and risk us not getting a seat at the table. For example banning consulting. This could force many to leave, including their children, through not fault of their own. I think that consulting should at very least be grandfathered, and have some other exceptions. But again pushing that would be a distraction.
As I said, if we get a seat at the table, this issue has a chance.
We are currently working on getting that seat.
Thanks for your post, support and understanding as you know many H1B children still age out as do many other children who entered the us legally.
I am so passionate about this issue if iv decide to do something I would help in any way I could

I like the monthly subscription feature. Just signed for $20/month. Guys - please sign up... $20/month is not too much but it has potential to turn in a big amount if all of us sign up. This is very essential for getting the relief this year...
Please contribute.

One of IVs priorities has been to have a uniform skills based system like other developed countries Eg. Canada.
members are welcome to join in that initiative as weel and suggest ideas.
I'm actually preparing a doc for a way to fairly convert people from EB to a points based skills system. This would also eliminate country based quotas as a side effect.
The CIR in 2007 had a similar proposal, but they did not compensate those already in EB queues.
There is a post from logiclife arguing against the points system back in 2007 (I will find that and post it here). Since when did IV change the strategy to go with the "points system"? The simple argument against the points system is that Government (and NOT the employer) decides who is qualifed in a points based system as against the current system which only allows qualified people with a job and being inside the U.S, to apply and get GC (as against the points system which can be from anywhere in the world).
The current system can be and should be fixed instead of moving to the points based system. For instance, remove the per country quota, allow a non-immigrant visa to be converted into an immigrant visa by an employee without going thru the labor and I-140 after a certain amount of time (3-5 years) which takes away the hold of the employer on your GC process, increase the EB numbers etc.
