you are half right, the country quota laws were put much earlier than the off shoring companies, but remember that the retrogression only started in the last 10 years when those companies came in the picture and skewed the lines .. that's ur cause and effect!
I am in software and would be satisfied with resticting this rule to the software field, but feasibility wise, rules won't get micro-tailored this way.
I always tell myself i shouldn't go on with the discussion, but here i go again..
any 12 step process to quit?
So what? Just because they came and skewed the lines doesn't mean you can choose where you're born or when. the rule is unfair wihtout any reason. there is no graceful solution short of removing the quotas. anyway I doubt fairness is the reason you're so fond of this quota.
Here's a one step way to quit.
1. Accept that the reason you're defending this useless rule is that it benefits you.

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

Not from last nights interview, but in primaries season during Politico's live interview on CNN Obama said this about legal immigration:
"It is important that we fix the legal immigration system, because right now we've got a backlog that means years for people to apply legally. What's worse is, we keep on increasing the fees, so that if you've got a hard working immigrant family, they've got to hire a lawyer; they've got to pay thousands of dollars in fees. They just can't afford it. It's discriminatory against people who have good character, but don't have the money. We've got to fix that. "

On a lighter note....the red marks alonside ur IV user profile...they indicate the number of feathers in ur hat---i got more red ones than anyone here..which means i may soon be in IV hall of fame ....once u end up there n still miss ur buddies here on IV forum...u gotta reboot ur modem n sign up again with a diff username... not as diff as an ead renewal:-)
take it easy---u r off the hook for 1 yr now!!!
You are right that it is a long wait...for me ten years is almost coming, but no relief yet. I hate to get these documents renewed every year. It is a vicious cycle whole year round to update one or the other document in different points of time. It is becoming a nightmare when we could do something useful instead.
And yes you are very right that I am responsible for my own choice, but after spending 10 years of my prime life and youth I think there are vey few options otherwise. More importantly when you have kids grown up and more assimilated here. You don't want to force your will on them. I hope you understand what I mean.
BTW, I am surprised that people have given me red dots from behind. Talk to me directly if you think I am wrong.

I agree 100 %. But even if the officer wants to know about out I 140, it wud be just a 1 min process for them as they can check if a recipt was generated based on the names.
If we put the copies of the fee checks, that would help even more because that means that our I 140 application was accepted.
With tracking receipts, cheque copies and a letter, I believe we would be able to establish evidence that, 140 was received by the service center.
Totally missing out on showing that I 140 is filed is no evidence at all. Showing every possible document to prove that the docment was filed, should be do the work.
Anyways since there are so many hundreds of people who filed I 140 in the recent days, I believe some alternative from USCIS wud show up in the next few days .......

hi smartboy;
as far as i know -> if spouse is working on EAD, she is NO LONGER on H4.
and the agreed way of re-instating h1/h4 is via H1/h4 extension or amendment or via h1/h4 stamping.
if she leaves US and wanna come back , then she can use AP.
if she still has a valid h4 stamping in the passport, i guess she may be tempted to use it; but i dont know what the implications cud be at the POE. the IO can chk her SSN and find out easily that she is on payroll at employment and paying taxes etc and can question "well it seems like u were working, and now u want to come back to H4? did u quit ur job etc etc". im just guessing but these cud be very valid questions.
assuming her h4 is accpted at POE, then she comes back to h4 nonimmig visa and is immediately not eligible to work.
One may say that - oh ok, now taht im back in the US, let me use EAD again and get back to work. but this becomes like flipfloping and just misusing H4 for travel purposes.
it may be a grey area, chk with a lawyer regarding this. who knows theoritically it may be allowed to flipflop between h4 and ead.

The USCIS/DOS set quotas for visa numbers because the United States does not want to be overwhelmed with immigrants. And these quotas are spread evenly through all nations and ethnic backgrounds. Considering the populations of the "oversubscribed" nations, this is justified. I can see where the immigrants from these nations feel "discriminated against" in the fact that they receive a smaller percentage (NOT NUMBER) of visas per capita than ROW countries. This does not make the system unfair. And if you think that certain countries get special treatment, think again; there are plenty of people in ROW (like me) who have been waiting for years as well!
Yeah much of what you said is true, however when you keep harping on the words "equal" and "evenly" You are wrong. Evenly or equally implies each applicant has an equal shot at getting through in a certain period of time. That's my only beef with what you are saying.
Once again however, let me state to you that the intent of US EB immigration law is not to be fair to you or me, it is to do what is best for the employer's skilled labor shortage.(Except in a few self petition cases recognized as in the national interest.)

There is a SLIM chance that CIR might come back this year, but if this CIR is taken again with its current provision for the EB Category and H1B in it, it is very bad for many of us.
Plan B, I think must be, trying to insert or get some sort of SMALL provision that would alleviate the problem for vast majority of us, into some appropriation bill (Read some where there will be 11 appropriation bill taken up this summer) as the appropriation bill must have to pass for the government to function.
I would either try for filing AOS while visa numbers are not available with an extra fee of $1000… or recapture of unused visas from previous years and use them once without country limit might help. As long as we are not asking for some thing new or more, but like recapture, change of process to ease the current problem, etc might have a SMALL chance.

While we are at discussing participation, a question I heard at DC comes to my mind. A member ( anil_sap?) asked another Texan member ( forgot name) - 'What takes you to become an Active member?'. To which my friend answered - 'Isn't he active alredy. He is here'.
That made me think - is being active a nebulous concept. Who's is the real active member of IV? The Core and near-core that strategize, plan , co-ordinate and conduct the business? The guys subscribed to monthly payment but missed DC? Guys who were at DC but not monthly contributors? Guys who were there all 4 days? Guys who visited for a day? "Lunch-Break" agitators? Who is 'active' among these will depend on whom you ask!
The following portion is in humor. Don't take it in bad spirit.
I did a self-evaluation, and guess-what, I realized I was a different breed. A 'Know-Nothing' IV member!
Being a IV member
1) Do I know why was such a mass mobilization done on that particular day? Is it because there was a push for STRIVE act as speculated in the forums here? Or is it SKIL we are pushing?
Ans - I KNOW NOTHING
2) What is the criteria for getting selected for Lawmaker meetings? Why weren't some selected after following the USCIS-inspired process? ( inspired by Marks skit)
Step 1 : Submit Labor petition E-IV-LOBBYDAY ( twice)
Step 2 : Verification by Labor department (or is it Name check)
Step 3 : Receipt Notice ( Talking Points)
Step 4 : Waiting...
Step 5 : Followup with RO (Rally Officer). You are still under Processing Time
Step 6 : Waiting...
Step 7 : More followup..
Step 8 : Retrogression due to insufficient (visa) numbers
Ans - I KNOW NOTHING
3) Didn't some members from my state attend Lawmakers meetings? What was the result? Where they positive or negative about our cause? What should we do to followup with them?
Ans - I KNOW NOTHING
4) What does it takes to become an 'Active' member as defined by Anil? What will take for IV to trust a member enough to let him know of the purported plan for World-Domination? Or should we just remain content gossiping (with near-core members) and making our own guesses?
Ans - I KNOW NOTHING
5) Does my State chapter even exist as of today? Or is it an IV version of Flying Sphaggeti Monster, that we should worship without questioning?
Ans - I KNOW NOTHING
With so many 'KNOW NOTHINGS' to my credit, I feel like the member of a secret American political party in the time of the Whigs.

I really hope sanity returns to the group and we make a concerted effort to get the current bills passed. As it is, we have an uphill battle, and now, if internally people start thinking that we are better off without the bills, we will never get anything done.
For people who are confused, unsure, unclear about the benefits of Specter/Frist's bill, the benefits are enormous
1. Right now, you have to wait 7-8 years in Eb3 category to get GC. Even if Specter/Frist's bill pass in the current form, and you are in Software, you could get yourself a MS in Comp. Science and get EAD in 1.5 years. Can you imagine the benefits of that?
Ask yourself the question - am I ok with my situation for the next 7-8 years?
The bill is not bad in its current form - we just want to make it better for us by including favorable clauses like 485 filiing and AC 21.
Do not always start looking at the darker side of things - we need something to happen to end the immigration imbroglio we are in. I cannot re-emphasize the need for a bill to pass this year that will contain EB provisions.
