Hi Experts,
The question i've is:
I heard from my Immigration Lawyer that,from November 01, 2008, any person who works in Information Technology (IT) and who has Advanced Degree from USA like Master's is eligible for EB3 Category only and not EB2 category. Please confirm if the above statement is true or not.
Thanks,
Abhi

One more shove
Feb 22nd 2007 | WASHINGTON, DC
From The Economist print edition
Congress is once again preparing to deal with the immigration mess
THE most dismal failure of the dismal 109th Congress was the non-reform of immigration. This is one of America's most chronic problems, with 12m illegal immigrants living in the shadows, more streaming over the border every day and many border towns buckling under the strain of so many non-citizens. Public pressure to “do something” is intense.
George Bush pushed hard for “comprehensive” immigration reform (meaning a combination of a path to citizenship for illegals and tougher border enforcement). John McCain and Teddy Kennedy crafted a bipartisan bill that passed the Senate by 62 to 36. But then the Republican-dominated House wrecked the whole thing in a fit of crude nativism.
Thankfully, the reformers have not been deterred. There has been a great deal of “scurrying about” behind the scenes, according to one insider. An odd coalition of business groups, trade unions and civil-rights organisations is pushing hard for reform under the umbrella of the Alliance for Immigration Reform 2007. An equally odd coalition of White House operatives, Democratic leaders and reform-minded Republicans is also working in the same direction. A new version of the McCain-Kennedy bill could be launched as early as mid-March. And Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell, the two parties' leaders in the Senate, have said that immigration will be one of the first ten bills they will consider. This time the chances of success are higher than last.
The main reason is the new Democratic majority in the House. The most virulent opposition to reform came from Republican House members who were obsessed with cracking down on illegals and building a 700-mile (1,125km) fence along the border with Mexico. Now that the Democrats are in the majority, Zoe Lofgren, the head of the sub-committee on immigration, thinks a deal is at least a possibility.
The reformers are also adopting a tougher tone. The new McCain-Kennedy bill will put more emphasis on beefing up the border, punishing errant employers, enforcing the law and assimilating new immigrants. It will also try to rebut Republican charges that it rewards lawbreaking and offers amnesty. Two current ideas are to impose a hefty fine (up to $5,000) on illegal immigrants who want to become legal, and to make illegals return to their countries of origin (“touching base”, in the jargon) in order to apply for legal entry.
The reason for this toughness is that comprehensive reform has little chance of passing both Houses on the backs of Democrats alone. A significant number of so-called blue-dog Democrats from conservative districts have every reason to steer clear of such controversial legislation. There is also a strong undercurrent of protectionism in the Democratic Party, which suspects immigrants of holding down American wages and stealing American jobs. Insiders calculate that they need about 20 Republican votes in the Senate and 40 in the House.
The reformers will have to overcome some big political and practical problems. Why should Democrats co-operate with Mr Bush on immigration, when they can wait until they capture the White House in 2008 and solidify their lead among immigrants for a generation to come? And why should congressional Republicans change their minds on this most emotive of issues? The vast majority of these members represent white conservative voters who regard immigration reform as a reward for breaking the law and a guarantee of the “Mexification” of American culture. The minority who represent more mixed districts are well aware that 70% of Latinos voted Democratic in 2006.
The practical problem is that the proposed bill will become so tough that it is self-defeating. Why should illegal immigrants come out of the shadows if they have to “touch base” and put themselves in the hands of America's notoriously slow and inept bureaucracy? And why, for that matter, should liberal interest groups support a bill that might seem punitive?
AP
Still, it would be a mistake to write the reformers off. The Democratic leadership risks provoking a backlash if it refuses to put its weight behind the bill, particularly among Latinos, who desperately want the mess cleared up. And the Republican Party also contains some powerful pro-immigration forces. American business strongly favours immigration reform: parts of the economy such as hotels and agribusiness depend on immigrant labour. “Big tent” Republicans also favour reform.
Karl Rove, Mr Bush's chief strategist, has long pointed out that it is stupid to alienate America's fastest-growing minority—particularly one as culturally conservative as the Latinos. In a swathe of states that Republicans need to retain the presidency, their numbers are crucial: New Mexico is 43% Latino, Texas 35%, Nevada 24%, Florida and Colorado 20%.
The November elections have also strengthened the hand of the big-tent Republicans. Several high-profile immigrant-bashers, such as Arizona's J.D. Hayworth and Indiana's John Hostetler, lost their elections. And John Boehner, who was one of only 17 House Republicans to vote against the party's border-protection act, has become minority leader.
Over the next few months everything will depend on the delicate politics of bipartisanship. Immigration reform gives both sides the chance to blame the other for failure. But it also gives both sides a chance to share the praise for a wrenching but necessary reform. The stakes for everybody involved, not least 12m illegal immigrants, could hardly be higher.

I have sent letter twice. They forward it as it is to USCIS and send a reply back that it has been forwarded to USCIS for action. Then you receive a letter or call from USCIS that your case cannot be considered unless your PD becomes current.

Thanks to all for your support. :)The first step I would like to propose is that we need to establish a group called Team IV Coordinators. Those who are interested in being part of this group, please send me a private message with your e-mail address so that I can set up a group e-mail to present and discuss the ideas to get us started. The Coordinator Group should be Team IV members whether you run/walk or not. I will take the lead but of course, I would love to have a core group to bounce ideas off of and to have as a resource pool.
I agree with picking 3 national events as previously suggested, one on east coast, one west coast and one centrally located.
Please send me Private Messages with your e-mail or contact info so that we can get the Coordinator Group up and running to set out the parameters of Team IV.
Thanks!! :)

I understand that your intention is to get heard. I appreciate your effort at writing letter. However writing to the president will not help us much. Here is why:
In the USA, infact for that matter in most democracies, Laws are made by elected representatives unless it is an executive order to grant an immediate relief.
The composition and powers of the House and the Senate are established in Article One of the Constitution. The major power of the House is to pass federal legislation that affects the entire country, although its bills must also be passed by the Senate and further agreed to by the President before becoming law (unless both the House and Senate re-pass the legislation with a two-thirds majority in each chamber). The total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at no more than 435.[1] (United States congressional apportionment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_congressional_apportionment))
So, In our case, the president at the most can sympathise with our cause and the hardships we face because of the limbo, But he cannot really help until there is a bill that passes both the house and the senate.
So, Can I suggest that it will be even more worthwhile if you contact your congressman/woman and go meet them. We need them to understand our plight and anguish.
We all need to go meet our lawmakers, educate them.

The IV is about issues/problems of employment based immigrants, and the goal is to get support as much as possible from every corner in this country to further the cause. Everyone who supports this cause fit in to some category (within legal limits - pro, anti, this group, that lobby, this ethincity, that nationality, etc.), and that does not mean we are promoting something or have preferences for a group. In my opinion any support (with in the legal framework) to the cause of IV from any corner in this country is welcome and should be appreciated.

The second bill (HR 5634) says that people with PhD from US universities are cap-exempt from EB. So it means some quota will be freed up from EB1 and also from Eb2-NIW.
Read all the bills. I guess you are bummer !!!!
I looked into the PDF's - seems like PhD does not have to be from US universities (can be from anywhere within 3 years of applying for greencard).
Of course it would have helped more if masters is also included but this is at least a start - hopefully more provisions might be added as it goes for debate.

Hello jsb,
Yes, I guess I went through that scrutiny when I submitted the employment letter and payslips and W-2 last month...the IO had told me that he had employment letter from 2007 so he would like a current one and he wanted my tax details compared to W-2 to see if there was any other income apart from my job income.
Time will tell... :)

It takes about 2 weeks get the RFE. It contains 2+ pages, first page is cover letter and second page+ will contain RFE details. NSC is know to issuing RFE on ability to pay, education (if 3 years degree) and detailed professional experience letters.
