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 !!!!

Just a quick update
Today my checks got cashed and from the back of the checks I got the receipt numbers. I was able to track these numbers on USCIS site and the EAD application for myself and my wife is now pending at TSC.
So the mailing address to Mesquite, TX turned out to be the correct location for me to file...
So it took less than a week for them to receive the package and cash your checks! I sent out mine to NSC today. Lets see how long it takes.

Hope for best. Good Luck.
As another member already indicated , I already mentioned my PD, country and EB category in my post.
Anyway, I had already waited 7 years in the GC process before recently coming across this forum and choosing this handle name when joining. Guess you could say that I was prepared to dig in and stay for the long haul if required which is why I chose that handle name. A few ups and downs/ forwards & backwards (even if in years !) in the priority dates won't deter me much now :).
Although, I could just be drunk with euphoria of my PD becoming current in March and blabbering away pompously. So don't you steal that login (pessimystic) away from me ! I reserve the right to choose it if and when I feel so :)

Could you please update your profile with the dates so that it helps others.
Since you wrote Dec 01 as your date and you are still pending, we can use such number of people info for advocacy purposes to show that despite the date advances/current for some people, they still do not have the approval. We have created IV tracker and this profile info fields for such purposes and thus urge everyone to keep their profiles updated. If you find someone with incomplete or fake profile, please politely urge them to update it or just ask them to write N/A so that we can help each other in fixing the immigration problem.
Thanks

If Paul's hunch that we'll see the 1Ds' successor by September is correct, then we might see cheaper 1D-II bodies prior to that.
As for the Kodak, it certainly has the resolution, but it doesn't seem as if it's generating much enthusiasm. The 1Ds (with less pixels) OTOH has. Removing the very expensive anti-aliasing filter was probably not Kodak's greatest moment.
I think the Kodak has alot more problems than just AA problems!!!
And any time a product drops by 50% in 1 year its normally not a good sign

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
EB2 or 3 depends on the Job requirements primarily... you could have a masters and be working for a job that requires a bachelors as minimum requirement then you are only going to get an EB3 (no exp example)

The aim of participation on these talk shows is two fold- One to increase the awareness amongst the general masses regarding the problems being faced by legals as the masses are mostly ignorant about out situation. Secondly, for people who are waiting for their GC's and could be potentail members of Immigration Voice for them to join the organization. It has been proven time and again that there is strength in numbers and also the organization needs resources from it's members.
It is a logistical challange to put a program like this together with the host and the panel and IV did a good job at it with knowledgebile authorities like Stuart coming out strongly supporting our cause. Every one felt that the moderation could have been better. It is the skill of Larry King or Neil Conan of NPR that sets them apart but some times there are moderators who are very knowledgible, not necessarily on every issue but are challenged becuase of their heavy accent and other reasons.
One of the posts questioned about the publicity stunt of having a senator on the program. I am not sure if every one realizes the amount of ground work that has to be done to make that happen and must I say that all the efforts were made to get them but it did not work out finally in the end because of issues with timing.
Over all, in my opinion, it was a good program and served IV's agenda.

Degree may be from anywhere in world as long as the institute is accredited by local accredeting body. I checked U21 and really could not understand its legal status. It looks like a group of universities under one umbrella body. As long as you have a degree from a accredited university, you are fine.
Once again, you will need a Masters degree , a diploma will mostly not work (but check with attorney)

Here is what I found from Murthy Forum --
According to the AILA-NSC Liaison minutes of 04/12/2007, the following standards generally applies in determining EB-2 requirement:
(1) U.S. master�s degree � as long as it is in the field required no additional documents would be required
(2) 4 yr bachelor�s degree + 2 yr master�s degree (India) � with degrees in the same or related fields this will generally be considered the equivalent to a U.S. master�s degree with no additional documents required
(3) 3 yr bachelor�s degree + 3 yr master�s degree (India) � with degrees in the same or related fields this will generally be equivalent to a U.S. master�s degree with no additional documents required
(4) 3 yr bachelor�s degree + 1 yr postgraduate diploma + 2 yr master�s degree (India) with degrees in the same or similar field : generally be considered the equivalent of a bachelor�s degree plus one additional year of education so the beneficiary would also need to have 5 yrs progressive experience. If the postgraduate diploma is determined to be progressive postgraduate education that is a continuation of the 3 yr bachelor�s degree it is possible that this would be considered the equivalent to a U.S. Master�s degree and there would be no need to establish 5 yrs progressive experience.
(5) 3 yr bachelor�s degree + 2 yr master�s degree (India) � Generally this would be the equivalent of a bachelor�s degree + 1 year and would require 5 yrs progressive experience to qualify under the 2nd preference category: However, foreign credential evaluation using the following additional evidence could make it to EB-2, Master's degree equivalent:
Examples of comparable U.S. master�s degree programs requiring only one year to complete (indicating that a total of 5 years of undergraduate and graduate level education is sufficient); or
Credential evaluations that provide a detailed comparison of credit hours completed by the beneficiary for the 3 year bachelor�s degree program with credit hours required by comparable U.S. bachelor�s degree programs.
(6) 3 yr bachelor�s degree + 2 yr master�s degree (India) + 5 yrs progressive, post-master�s degree experience � Generally the educational degrees would be determined to be the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor�s + 1 year and the beneficiary would meet the statutory requirement
(7) 3 yr bachelor�s degree + 2 yr master�s degree + 1 yr postgraduate diploma (India) � Generally this would be the equivalent of a bachelor�s degree + 1 year and would require 5 yrs progressive experience to qualify under the 2nd preference category. If the postgraduate diploma is determined to be progressive postgraduate education that is a continuation of the 3 yr bachelor�s degree or the 2yr master�s degree it is possible that this would be considered the
equivalent to a U.S. Master�s degree and there would be no need to establish 5 yrs progressive experience
(8) If a master�s degree is required and the beneficiary does not have a U.S. master�s degree in the specified field of study the petitioner should be prepared to submit sufficient documentation to establish that the education that the beneficiary possesses is the equivalent to a U.S. master�s degree in the required field.
[Matthew Oh Note: The positions of the NSC for the situations in (4), (5), (6), and (7) appear to have loosen up substantially and very flexible and accomodative. Very good news. We thank the NSC leaders for the new policy on these issues.]
Education Requirement in Labor Certification Not Restricted to U.S. Bachelor or Foreign Equivalent Degree: Following will be acceptable for "Skilled Worker" catogory of EB-3:
These are just guidelines from a law firm. Most of the law firms were making money in porting cases for last two years, as number of new applicants were less due to economy. That does not mean that USCIS is going to approve these cases based on number of years of education. Porting within a company is a risky deal. Even though lawers dont make it sound like a big deal, for getting new clients. The old eb3 job that was used to file the first labor needs to be filled. If you are working with a desi bodyshop, be careful. You are inviting an audit.

No is the correct answer.. they are here as visitors (not residents - US tax returns are for US residents - tax return 101)
also they don't have SS# i presume, so how can you even think about adding them as dependents?
Good try though :)
