Hi all!
Please visit this link !
Comprehensive immigration reform probably doomed - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama_immigration)
THis is precisely what I had said yesterday! The issues HAS and WILL be kept alive, FOREVER!
In a way it is good because, now we can plead with both parties to think of LEGAL WORKERS like us!
If this ends the "hostage drama" by the "illegals" we should be more than happy!
What next???
Thank you!!!
So you think we can only Plead? I agree.
What special do we have to offer that makes us important than CIR?
Ask yourself
Votes: no
Contribution: no
How many of our employers are pleading for us?
How many citizens are pleading for us?
If you say we are paing taxes so we should get greencard. That does not make sense. We are using roads, hospitals, infrastucture of this country and we pay taxes as long we live here.
If you say we invent new things, start Google etc then these people qualify for EB1 and it is always current.
If you say we have USA masters then we can apply in EB2. EB2 will get current next year or its wait time is going to decrease and will be 2 years max. So 2 years or less is a reasonable processing time within a 6 year H1B processing time.
I am playing devils advocate here and trying to tell you to think beyond pleading. We did not come to this country to plead. Once you start thinking negative there are many negatives as I have written above and you will go in depression.
Who is stopping you from Meeting lawmakers? Have you done that?
Who is stopping you from contacting media? Have you done that?
Who is stopping you from contacting your CEO of the company and ask for help? Have you done that.
Who is stopping you from contacting organizations of Indian American citizens and ask for help?
Who is stopping you to do rallies everymonth on weekend in every state. Why are we not doing it if we are so depressed with Greencard.
Who is stopping you from contributing to IV?
Who is stopping us from doing lobby days in DC once every month?
Why can't we do. I have tried to do at least one item in this list. If we all at least pick one item, it will be enough.

can we get live or recorded audio or video? C-spna should be doing it? Can anyone comment ? Thanks. We will provide a link (and of course ask to join IV and ask them to make contributions).
Thanks to the efforts of everyone at IV and QGA, we have the golden opportunity for a member of IV to actually testify before Congress. No kidding!

Basically, if your 485 is pending for more than 180 days and you lose job, then technically you can start using EAD and move on using AC21.
Chandu, my question is not whether HR dept can handle it properly or not.
My intention/question here is if an applicant is on H1 (most of the cases 5th or 6th yr of H1) and then loose the job and until he finds other job (has EAD but never used it) the applicant does not have payroll running during the break. then technically is he ok or does he has to maintain h1 status or does EAD protect him.
Coz until he finds a job and files for AC21 an applicant does not do any thing.
And what do you mean by satisfy AC21 criteria. unless you find a job you cannot file AC21....so during the gap (what is the status of this gap?...technically I am trying to find an answer. please point me to a link or document. If you are aware of it, else can IV find an answer to it)
"f you lost job on h1b and satisfy AC21 criteria then you are in pending AOS state and use EAD to work."
Chandu, thanks for at least answering my question.
Good luck for you!

I am exactly doing the same thing that anandrajesh mentioned above. I have my tickets booked for Nov 21st and its already more than 60 days for me. I have called them to expedite it. will be faxing the documents and letter to local congressman and uscis ombudsman today. I am not even sure why we pay so much of money to these people and do all this to just do their work. But what can we do, we are at their mercy.
Me too !! My ticket were for Nov 3 and i am waiting for the last 54 days ..just requested USICS to expediate the AP based on financial loss ...

because the backlog for EB3 is currently staring at close to 10 years and an EB2 requirement is around 5 years of progressive experience, which might enable many of them who would have progressed in their careers due to a 10 year wait for green card.
Why not EB2 to EB1 is because, EB1 is for exceptionally skilled people(athletes, doctors, multi-national managers(via L1A) etc). For EB2 candidates to be pushed to EB1, they need to exceptionally skilled which cannot be gained via experience but by acquiring skills which will place them in those categories.
If they can acquire those skills, then they automatically qualify for EB1 or EB1-NIW and can apply anytime by themselves. Note, EB1 does not need a labor approval too.
Hope that makes clear the distinction between EB1, EB2 & EB3. Employment-based GC applying lessons 101...of course this is the simplest one...:D
Do you really agree with multi-national managers(via L1A). This is the area wherein the interpretation is pretty loose. If you dissect EB1 data you would find that EB1C used bulk of it except for this year due to bad economy and tightening of screws. There should be some very clearly defined guidelines for EB1-C, somebody being an onsite coordinator or managing 5 people should not be eligible. This category should be reserved for those who are managing at least 100 people or control business in several millions. I agree that EB1 should be just for the exceptional.

While some members might have jumped too hard on the whole thing, Some stuff goes unanswered.
1) Why has not USINPAC endorsed IV all this while on their website? Does not USINPAC know any thing about IV?
2) While I understand the importance of fund raisers for politicians, why USINPAC has not involved US citizens of American origin to contribute to the cause? What about grass roots efforts?
3) I dont have the exact statistics, but I am positive that every one out of 2/3 Indians living in the US is plagued by this problem of GC. How come Orgs like USINPAC are not pushing this by all means?
Forget the media mishap and the outrage of some members, if USINPAC really considers Immigration of Highly skilled Indians, they should be doing some thing. I personally am neither defending the outrage of some members nor appreciating it, but most of the Indian American citizen community does not want to be in sync with the plight of Indians immigrating to US.There are various reasons. Most important one as I have seen, Many in the Indian American citizen / Indian Permanent Resident community run consulting companies and they would hate to see these guys slip away from their hands by getting GC's. Fcuk, its like the damn door closes right behind you. I am positive most of those shops will come down to earth if Indian citzens start getting their GC's. May be its time, the Indian American Citizens/ Indian PR's ask themselves, what they really want. I have been to some Indian regional association meetings and the big guys or folks from my generation ahead would love to see their kids get married to an Indian or would love to see their kids grow with the rich heritage, but damn it, they just want it to happen with out doing any thing.

So EAD is screwed for lots of people, in our case its the E-filed AP. Filed on July 12 and booked tickets to India on Dec 26th and no sign of AP. Looks like we'll have to postpone or cancel the ticket. Thanks to friendly IO in TSC we heard that the photos (sent later thru snail mail) were not attached to the applications...So on the IO's suggestion we sent off a 2nd batch of pics...
Well, I've got all my fingers crossed...but I kind a know there may not be sights of lush green fields and beautiful kayals--aka backwaters in my immediate future...urgh..

Which service center processed your I-140 ? For Eb2 cases, USCIS ( especially NSC) doesn't accept a combination of degree and experience. They require a single 4 year degree.
You should not completely give up on this. Get a good lawyer, a good education evaluator and try to save the case.

He called it garbage can out of bitterness and perhaps a little sarcasm. Obviously this is very important to him, otherwise he wouldn't have vented to perfect strangers on the internet. Have you never really wanted something and lashed out at it out of frustration?
I understand and respect the feelings of people in similar situation.

ok - 1,000 folks (none of them voters) are asking me for a comprehensive employment based GC reform......which is a pain in the .......!!
...
and the lawmaker wonders over a cup of decaf latte - what should i focus on......??? to him/ her - the choice is obvious.....and if it is not obvious to us........we should take a reality check.....
I agree that asking for complicated changes is a pain. But after meeting the lawmakers, I realized that this is the BEST way. Even the lawmakers agree and attest to this.
You are doing a reality check without even being there. Which, let's face it, is not really a reality check. It is more of your opinion and assumption.
Lets also not confuse facts vs opinions. The fact is that meeting lawmakers and educating them about our point of view is the key to this whole GC mess.
Personally, I did not attend the DC event because I was travelling on business and to me my perceived benefit (maybe wrong) of rally was not worth postponing an important business trip.......
Let me ask you a simple question. What CAN be the "perceived benefit" from a rally like this that would make you think that it would be worth attending? Is it something like a guarantee for a GC in 2 months or a bill that passes next month that does everything we legals want? What is it?
Bringing attention to lawmakers about our plight. Bringing the issue right up to the Capitol. Bringing the issue up for even discussion in the various immigration meetings that are held every other day. Are these benefits not important enough for you?

Any link between being a "legal immigrant" and getting jumped by a bunch of thugs and being killed while trying to resist?
I agree - these are things that have to be taken very seriously.
I am also hearing that desi houses are being targeted in New Jersey as ZDesis have jewelery in houses.

pappu,
With limited information, it was the best I could do :)
What is your take on all these bills.. I am sure you have much more info. Do you see any hope of EB relief in 2009?
There is growing pessimism in EB community.
I ran these through my program but it is returning NULL.
I guess each object needs to have a voting property or Lobby class attached to it. Without that you will only get Null values in return.
