USCIS does not work for you or me but sure you can go and ask them for prefiling AOS but not to issue RFE for same job requirement condition and other haressing rfe. how can you say we cannot ask USCIS not to raise RFE for irrelevant stuff,I guess you are ok with all the RFE that are being issued by USCIS on h1 holders currently.
Hydboy I agree with your earlier statement about AC21 issues. However you have not shared any data. Also like I mentioned that it's always the ones who've had negative experience who'll be more vocal. I think Kiran has provided an excellent set of advantages, foremost being the ability to use AC21. It's also interesting to see you say the following :
You and all the people who missed out on July fiasco obviously want to file AOS and get EAD at any cost (i understand and support that ) but what about us who have been here for 5 to 10 years and took us multiple years of wait to file AOS and get EAD. "
This dilutes your arguments in my opinion. Anyway, let me provide you with a counter point. Assume for a moment that an administrative fix does come through for pre-applying AOS. This will cause an increase in 485 applications again and correspondingly more people using AC21. I believe that if there is a definite USCIS pattern to wrongly denying AC21 then with a large volume of people being disaffected by it, there will also be a bigger chance that it will fixed. So in the end this should be helpful to everyone and not just people who missed July 07. Please note though that this is a if, since we haven't seen any solid data yet to corroborate this.

...The perceived opposition to CIR was blown out of proportion by the conservatives and their media cronies like Lou Dobbs. That it did not work clearly shows that the american public too mature and sensible to be carried away by such rhetoric.
I am not sure but one thing we can see a lot of anti immigration conservatives are not doing too good at house.. so what does this mean.. immigration is an issue by the conservative talk shows...Lou Dobbs.. and people like them and not the gen US public ???
When President Bush delivered his CIR speech, Lou Dobbs criticized CIR as amnesty and he went on suggesting "No bill is better than a bad bill" to Congressman Sensenbrenner et. al.
Sensenbrenner took this advice verbatim and finally rejected CIR instead of conferencing on modifying it.
I think Congress got the blame later and was termed "Do-Nothing Congress" mainly for this.
It is a bitter lesson for politicians not listening to Senate or President but to Lou.
IMHO, if Congressman Sensenbrenner took CIR to conference (instead of a month-long public hearings) to remove controversial provisions and pass legitimate provisions like the border fence measures, public would have retained the current congress.

People were very happy with the last USCIS announcement but we all forgot about pain of people who are stuck in years of backlog. Though some of those unfortunate may have used harsh or improper language, but they had all the right to express their feelings. We all talk about Gandhian philosophy, but we need to be more tolerant. Before we ask to ban anyone from our forum, please try to put yourself in their shoes.
Our fight is far from over, we should all fight for for in-justice made to people who are trapped in the bureaucracy.

I think industry and their senators alike will be happy with quota increases...waht they will try to strike out is the extra fees....($5000 now) and also the retrictions on recruitment / displacement policy, which will make H1B useless as it will take umpteen number of months to get an H1B approved.
This ammdt is still difficult to pass
BTW, I cannot find the text of this ammndt on Thomas.
http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d110:26:./temp/~bdp3oO::|/bss/d110query.html|
I am sure that the tech lobbyist are going to change the rules applied to the H1-B process, because everyone knows the effect of this to the econoomy. I am totally convinced that the strict H1-B rules will be removed.
I am trying to figure out or want to see how or will these tech companies force or lobby to get EB relief.
How important is EB relief for them?
1) they can't hire brains from US universities.
2) they can't hire those who they think would benefit the company but are stuck with their GC process with some other small consulting firm.
I see STEM with advance degree getting relief, the current backlog will not be benefitted a lot (eg. Real hike in EB visas, Removing the country cap). I am not being a pessimist but, I do not see a light in my path. (May be my comments are wrong)
**** Important Note****
After the State Union Speech given by the President to change the Immigration system, we saw a huge applause by all the law makers. So many individual bills in favor of Skill were introduced. Mr Gates, in front of Senate gave a detailed explaination of our problems, we saw few bills after H1-B quota ran out on the second day of the filing date added to the senate judiciary committee.
Our hopes increased after seeing so many favourable documents and media coverage, but what happened in the end.. Illegals were given a very very very easy path to citizenship after breaking the law.They get a relief which we can never imagine will ever happen to us.
Let us say we get the oppurtunity to file I-485 without PD. Increase in H1-B, Increase in EB visas. But still we have to stick to an employer, can't move up the ladder because of the same Labor description needed to be mainain I-485 if we take AC21.
I cannot digest and will never be able to digest that we are not given the oppurtunity to file our I-485 individually and work for any employer.

July 2010: are these clause new this time?
#1 :
" Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620. "
that means per year max of 25620 people per country can get GC ?
#2 :
*NOTE: For July, 2A numbers EXEMPT from per-country limit are available to applicants from all countries with priority dates earlier than 01JUN07. 2A numbers SUBJECT to per-country limit are available to applicants chargeable to all countries EXCEPT the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC and MEXICO with priority dates beginning 01JUN07 and earlier than 01JUL08. (All 2A numbers provided for the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND MEXICO are exempt from the per-country limit; there are no 2A numbers for the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND MEXICO subject to per-country limit.)
--- #1 and #2 sounds opposit. am i understanding it right?

Logiclife,
IV is a voluntary organisation. You can request people to volunteer, but cannot force them or scold them for not volunteering. This is not professional. They might have their reasons and the right to work their way. I agree with your frustration when people who signed to turn up do not show up. But I feel this is not the way to express it.
Ram
I have been member of IV since Dec 05. Probably since a couple of weeks after it was founded.
In last 2 years, I have seen many ups and downs with this org and there are numerous stories to share in my work with core and grassroots, with lobbyists and congressional staffers, with friends and colleagues.
But what has been happening in few places lately is something that those responsible should be ashamed of.
On saturday IV chapter leader in Texas Needhelp! had organized a local chapter meetup. Now you may ask, oh, another one of those. What do they do anyways?
Well, here is what we do in chapter meetups.
WE WORK.
We find groups that can be formed to meet local congressmen. We refine talking points. We share updates that we dont usually share on website. We help new members get up to speed. We sometimes get local immigration attorneys to answer questions on pro-bono basis (yes, that means free for you) to serve the community. Lawyers get free publicity, we get free legal advise. A symbiotic quid-pro-quo.
This is what happened this weekend in Plano TX (Dallas Suburb).
Now mind you, Dallas area alone has probably atleast 300 registered members. Not to mention the lurkers for whom I have a special message below(at the end).
This is what she (Needhelp) reported after chapter meetup.
Yep. She missed an extra carricular event important to her daughter for this meetup.
Dont even get me started on those who live 10 miles from Plano Texas and dont bother responding even.
You know, when someone arranges to send you details in email and you know about it, you say you will attend and then you dont, what do you think is going to happen?
IF EAD IS THE END OF THE ROAD FOR YOU...
If EAD is the end of the road for you, then why are you still coming to this website. There are about always 600-700 people on this site during the day and about 300 people at night. Who are these people?
The truth of the matter is, the ones who dont contribute, have stopped contributing, or have never contributed funds, attended events or given anything to this org - but still keep scouring theads - are the people to be pitied. You will always be worried. "Mera kyaa hoga". (what will happen to me). Your journey wont end. Ever. Even after getting GC you will be worried about citizenship. Even after getting citizenship, there will be small itch in your head - what if my citizenship is revoked (yes it can legally happen and has happened to a WWII genocide guy in 2001-2002 timeframe, go google it and ruin your rest of the day).
The truth of the matter is, right now, even after getting EAD, then only action you have taken is either stopped contributing funds, or stopped giving any of your time to this org.
But your life has not changed one bit.
You probably wont even use your EAD or change employers. You will constanly be worried about your namecheck, your fingerprints, your this, your that. You will be worried about new inquiries and RFEs coming on your approved 140 (approved years ago) during 485 processing. (yes that can happen too). You will be worried about accidental rejection of 485 (that's why most of the people wont even use EAD and continue on H1 to preserve option of using appeals process to appeal 485 rejection on H1). You will be worried about USCIS not buying your AC21 portability and sending your RFEs to prove that the ported job is "Same or similar" in nature. You will be worried about being unemployed for few weeks at a wrong time just about when 485 RFE comes and you dont have a letter to show you have a job offer to justify 485 approval.
So basically the struggle hasnt ended. Yes, keeping looking at your EAD in your wallet every 3 minutes, its still miserable.
So why not act to end the misery rather than scour forums and comiserate. Is it that much fun to comiserate and is it that much pain to co-operate?
THE LURKERS ON THIS SITE WHO WILL NEVER REGISTER OR DO ANYTHING AT ALL.
Not to mention how many cowards (yes, cowards who think that by registeration on this website, the USCIS will send a black helicopter to their home and abduct and deport them, the ones who have watched the movie "enemy of the state" too many times and think that there is a Jon Voight out there who has nothing to do both to pluck legal skilled immigrants and throw them out). I have a special message for those lurkers who need this website and visit it everyday but dont have the balls to register, share email and participate in any activity. This isnt about a chapter meetup, or your greencard or even this org. Your reluctance is not a reflection of your over-cautiousness. Its a reflection of your character. You will eventually get greencard, become citizens even, but this kind of cowardly attitude will made you lead a boring, uneventful and mediocre life.
And by the way, if the government was really after you, they would have already gotten to you for browsing this site too. Dont you think they (the black helicopter guys) can find our who you are while you are lurking? Ever heard of IP addresses? If I can find that out then they can do much more.

Does anybody know how long an H1B visa can remain valid (including grace period) after a layoff ? What I know, is an H1B technically becomes invalid the day you stop rendering your services to your employer. The firm's lawyer suggested me to file for B1/B2 visitors visa to avoid going out-of-status.
If I do that, can I transfer my H1B visa (from B1B2) once I get a job? Or will I have to struggle against some quota?
Can anybody suggest a good lawyer in New York City or near Hoboken, NJ who can help we with all this? I tried contacting Cyrus Mehta, but he seems to be booked for another week.
Btw, thanks for the overwhelming response to my request for resources to find a job. While I am evaluating my options, please keep me in consideration for any openings that you see.
Thanks.

Its not over till its over :), and its not over yet by any means. I am willing to wait and fight ;) . Everyone has priorities in life, each person would view GC situation differently. For me, its not the ultimate dream, but just a vehicle to continue my journey for some more time (with peace of mind). I am definitely looking to gray my hair in my home country or atleast be there once I am grayed haired :D
Doing an MBA/PMI and looking for managerial job is the only realistic possibility for most, I don't think most people would wanna still be programming when they turn 40/45 (depending on how old/young you feel).
My gut feel is that there will be some kind of relief by end of 2007 or early 2008

Yes, what I posted was meant to be hard,
ask a EB3 person if he was happy when EB3 was available and Eb2 was not.
Did any one try to justify the reason why EB2 was UNAVAILABLE? No.
Did anyone here feel unhappy that EB2 moved so nicely? No.
Then why are we not seeing a single post from anyone which says we as aspiring immigrants are not being failrly dealt with when EB3 did not move with EB2.
Instead we see posts about why EB3 is not moving and explanation of reasons behind it.
Is there a hidden agenda here, NO. Not from IV, am i trying to prove something like that? I dont think so.

Hello ... I m responding to a some one who dis-respected my fellow citizens . So what do you say English speaking guys are great IT professionals ? To work on computers you need brian and understand bits and bytes not english .
I think you got my message wrong all I m saying is you dont have to be a great english communicator to qualify for EB2 , unless you are applying as professor .
In 70s most of the towns having only local language schools and stuided in local language schools , thay may be part of reason why some of them dont communicate well ..That doesnt mean they can not work on computers ...
Well thats our opinion/preception or even truth. If you need to work in the US, you need to be good in english as its their national laungage.
I am giving this one for example...
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7317794.stm
So even if you are a greate talent and could not speak even a word in english forget about coming to US.
I think you got my message wrong all I m saying is you dont have to be a great english communicator to qualify for EB2 , unless you are applying as professor .
In 70s most of the towns having only local language schools and stuided in local language schools , thay may be part of reason why some of them dont communicate well ..That doesnt mean they can not work on computers ...
Well thats our opinion/preception or even truth. If you need to work in the US, you need to be good in english as its their national laungage.
I am giving this one for example...

I dont know why people are thinking CIR will be advantageous :
WHat does CIR do :
Lets divide in to Four categories :
1. PPL who has to still enter US
2. PPL who have not started GC
3. PPL whose Labor pending in BEC
4. PPL whose 140 pending or approved.
In each i have not seen advantages but these are disadvantages , please enlighten me about advantages over current system in each cases.
Case -1: THere are enough provisions like Increase in H1B fees, Eliminating contracting etc that would effect and truely we may not be worrying about this in this context.
Case -2: For people who have not stated GC yet , its utter chaos, as per the dates in CIR. Now point system is not tested, there are severe imbalancements , No up system yet in INS , no yet personnel allocation . I dont see any reason INS will be on to this even if passed for atleast 2 years.
Based on this even if people say 5 years or so , no one exactly knows it might even take more than 7 years becoz of initial filing delays , accessing points , etc . What about extensions in H1B , anyways H1B system is so scrwed up consultants will be reduced by atleast 50% , and only survive who can find an work around. after all this High filing will force many out. I dont see anything good with new system. No big diff in Visa allocations to say that it will be faster for ppl. H1B Cant be renewed 3 years. Now is there any advantage over old sytem ? I dont think so .
Case -3: People who were stuck in BEC. Its bigger problem for many people who are renewing H1 based on this. Now that cant do it . SO its again their issue.
Case -4: People who got I140 approved or pending , They wont be effected anyways.
Also there will be labor somewhere as becoz there will be some clause that aims at not displacing any american worker for sure.
===========
With all these there is only one drawback of current system , i.e. backlog. that is not addressed anyways in new system so whats the point?
Only if cantwell amendment finds its place in current form then is a hope in a hurricane else its utter waste.

Well, I've got a few reasons.
1. I don't like the attitude that comes along with the people that speak it.
2. I just don't like the language.
3. I don't live anywhere close to a place where I must know Hindi to survive.
4. The Indian Constitution recognises English as a subsidiary official language.
5. If I have survived as long as I have without knowing Hindi, I'm sure I can survive without knowing Hindi for the rest of my life.
Thaai mannae vanakkam!
This thread was dead in October last year. This guy MartianSoldier restarted it ( and notice he has only 1 post ) for just one reason - start infighting among indians from different states.
Anyone falling into his trap and fighting on the thread ?
Martiansoldier really belongs not on Mars but in a mental asylum. Please don't post on this thread unless it has really got something to do with PIO card or the Indian consulate.
Remember United we stand and Divided we fall.
