i assume this is for everyone, including citizens. you may want to make the legal part bold in the phrase "legal immigration". immigration automatically raises everyone's eyebrow but you need to emphasize that the fight here is for "legal" immigration. that is a key differentiator especially when nobody knows what the heck EB, priority date etc is.
Use the following as a template to send all your contacts via email!!!!
*not a chain mail. a genuine request to be part of a democratic US bill-making movement* call YOUR Senator and at least one from the list below *
i am writing to you with a rather 'unusual request'. thousands of high skilled legal immigrants (especially from India and China) are stuck for between 5 to 10 years in the 'Green Card' queue with no 'end in sight' due to a broken system. previous attempts by groups like Compete America (www.competeamerica.org (http://www.competeamerica.org)) and Immigration Voice (www.immigrationvoice.org (http://www.immigrationvoice.org)) have been rebuffed by powerful lobbies and special interests.
if you are able to help, know that thousands will thank you. if you are uncomfortable, i will fully understand and seek your forgiveness for this intrusion.
if you know someone that will benefit from legal immigration reform (e.g. graduate students, etc.), do pass this message along. again, this is NOT a fake chain mail. check out www.immigrationvoice.org (http://www.immigrationvoice.org) to see how those forgotten in the immigration queue are trying their best to make their voices heard.
at a minimum, take a few minutes to see these colorful posters that highlight the issues at stake!

if you can do more, please call your Senator and at least one from the list below with the scripted message:
currently, Rep. Zoe Lofgren from California, has introduced a couple of bills that can provide temporary relief to thousands of tax paying high skilled workers.
HR 5921 Introduced to eliminate per country limits
H.R. 5882 introduced to restore approximately 218,000 unused EB visa numbers.
HR 6039 introduced to exempt STEM degree applicants from numerical limits
In addition, the Murray amendment was accepted in Senate Appropriations Committee by voice vote today.
"OK, enough of that mumbo jumbo" I hear you say :), "what can I do?"
Tell them that you would like to talk to some one who handles immigration/legal matters, If forwarded to voice mail, leave a VM. If the VM is full, you can get back to the main line by pressing 0 and then leave a message with them.
The message you have to deliver when calling these offices is
I would like Representative "Representative Name" to co sponsor bills HR 5882, HR 5921 & HR 6039 sponsored by Zoe Lofgren. All three bills have wide bipartisan support in the house and will help reduce the back logs associated with USCIS. These bills are a great first step towards immigration reform.
DO NOT GET INTO THE LEGAL/ILLEGAL DISCUSSION WITH STAFF MEMBERS
Only if the staff member bring up the issue of CIR, in that case say that -
In the past we have been supporting Comprehensive approach and still continue to support comprehensive approach and we look for our our main issues to be addressed whenever comprehensive bill is passed. However, this is is just an interim fix to begin or start the immigration reform process.

Did you ever hear name called Enron , Anderson consulting and Computer Associates ? Try to do a google search on Enron and Anderson consulting :D
Of course but the fact that they did unethical things is not an excuse for this indian companies to do the same.
dohko, The point of satishku_2000's post was that all companies follow the similar business practices. It doesn't make any difference if it is TCS or IBM, Anderson or Infosys. They are all same bunch of people, just different names. So your repeated rant about "indian companies" is not valid any more. We have someone who worked for IBM for 8 years and got 2 pay checks on bench. So now, lets not squabble without any reason.

Hello Gurus,
I have a question as follows. I was with an old company and transferred the H1 in the 9th year to the new company. I already had my Labor and I-140 approved with the old company (EB3-I Category).
After switching to this new company I had to start my PERM all over again as I missed the July 2007 boat and could not file for I-485. My new company is based in L.A.-California. I am already drawing my salary from new company. They only have office in L.A. I work for them from my home office in NJ. Today the company's attorney called & asked me that I needed to have L.A. residential address as it is required to be stated on the application. I have no intentions to move to L.A. in near future. I am in a fix now as to how to go about this. I will appreciate all you gurus and experts advice and also please advise me repercussions if any.
Please help.

Hi folks, just as predicted, my email thread to select contacts resulted in one outright racist response. i dont want this group to get distracted or distressed if you too get such responses. take a look at the original note below and my response. remain brave. remain strong. this is a LEGAL immigration process in the US economic interest too.
hopefully people will begin to realize that anti-legal-immigration is just a facade for deep rooted racism.
Best.
A SELF AVOWED RACIST RESPONSE from A PERSONAL CONTACT
I have to let you know that not only will I not support this bill, but I am vehemently against the legal immigration of workers that are originally brought here to usurp positions that would have otherwise been held by skilled Americans. I agree that this is a racist and exclusionary position, but I also know many people who can no longer get work at the level they deserve due to the displacement they have experienced as a result of this foreign worker influx.
Please remove me from any future posts regarding this or related issues.
MY RESPONSE
i know how the native americans must have felt when the pilgrims landed... oh that darned foreign influx.
i will not dignify your self avowed racism with the erudition of economics, capitalism, innovation, globalization, human rights or the rich history of the united states as a melting pot of cultures ... all of which are underpinning factors that are in the long term US economic interests in high skilled LEGAL immigration. of course, these tend to be conveniently ignored on the altar of superficial sentiment, myopic protectionism and deep-rooted xenophobia.
it would be best that we not be on each others' personal contacts or have any future interaction at all.

There is nothing to be worry about. Sooner is better that later. At this stage there is no form sent for Perm and you don't have to be worry about change of address and so on.
Talk to a good attorney too.
mdforgc and other PERM gurus,
Please help.
I am in the process of filing PERM. Ads have been placed etc and all the
formalities completed. Now, we are at a stage where the forms have to be prepared, signed and submitted. However, i am very unhappy with my attorney. He is unethical and i am afraid he will screw me up. So here are the questions
1) At this stage ( not yet filed PERM) but on the verge of filing, is it possible to change attorney or is the job order etc specific to the Attorney.
2) In form ETA -9089, in the Alien Work Experince section, it says to give the name of the aliens supervisor and the employers phone number.
MY attorney says this is not required. Any thought on this. Did your forms mention this ?
3) I am afraid my Attorney will deliberately mess up the form. What should I watch out for in the form before signing on it ?
4) IS there any redressal system at all in this country for Attorney Malpractice ? Anyone taken this route before ?
Guys, please help me as I have to take a qucik decision.
Thank You

The first step you should get your employer to do is to file a job order in the state job bank or americas job bank. You have to keep this ad for 30 days and then wait another 30 days to file PERM. This is the longest time. All other forms of recruitment needs to wait only 30 days and you can file PERM on the 31st day. There is no mention of working days or weekends, it is 30 continuous days. As you know in addition to this job bank order, and two Sunday newspaper ads, there has to be three other forms of recruitment before you can file PERM. If your employer and lawyer are really proactive it will only take 60 days to file PERM from start to finish. You also have to get a prevailing wage determination and post it at your job site for 10 days not including holidays and weekends. Hope this helps. Please contribute and incrase the membership of IV for the good of all of us.
My employer posted the job order around June 18th.Sunday newspapaer ads and all other work is completed. Technically speaking Iam eligible for applying for labor on Aug 18th. Is there a way that i can apply for labor and check my luck now with the changes that took place yesterday on July 17th regarding USCIS making all employment categories current?
Can i do this? I really appreciate if somebody can respond me on their thoughts and ideas how i can utilize this chance..

This followed the earlier email 13 days ago, which said the new card was ordered July 17! Did anyone else have similar experience?
Same here after the first one on 11 July ...Looks like USICS is sending me 2 cards with 1 year each :) .........

Your stats are almost twice that number!
Those are not Labor approvals, those are Green Card approvals.

Somebody left me a message to answer this so I am jumping in. Let me know if my answer seems reasonable.
1) EB2 ROW is not 48K .... it is about 69K (ROW = all countries except IC).
2) EB2 ROW will add average 30K to this inventory.... so lets say in this economy they add 15-20K. So what EB2ROW has consumed is about 20-25K until today out of the 42K avlbl for the entire category and 36K for ROW EB3.
3) Tll jun 04 there are about 9K cases more left. So that will just about bring EB3ROW to 30-35K annual consumption - same as its quota.
Will the dates for EB3ROW move beyond Jun 04? May be Dec 04 max. The chances of movng it beyond that are less.
In other words .... the visas are NOT being utilized anywhere else. Its just the consumption is high.
This has been a posted by a fellow member 5 pages ago.. ARE THEY DIVERTING EB3 NUMBERS to some other categories?
Pappu or someone knowledgeable about backlog..please answer.
EB3 ROW is at Jun 2004. But as per latest USCIS inventory, EB3 ROW pending 485's are around 48,000. Visa numbers available every year for EB3 is approximately 42k. If you deduct the backlogged EB3 countries (4x3000) visa numbers, the total comes down to 30k for EB3 ROW. So EB3 ROW should become current or atleast Jul 07 in another 1.5 years. If this is not going to happen, it means they are diverting the EB3 numbers to some other categories.
my 2 cents
Note : If EB3 ROW has 30k visas per year and pending EB3 ROW 485's are only 50k.. why it is still hanging in 2004. God only knows !!
1) EB2 ROW is not 48K .... it is about 69K (ROW = all countries except IC).
2) EB2 ROW will add average 30K to this inventory.... so lets say in this economy they add 15-20K. So what EB2ROW has consumed is about 20-25K until today out of the 42K avlbl for the entire category and 36K for ROW EB3.
3) Tll jun 04 there are about 9K cases more left. So that will just about bring EB3ROW to 30-35K annual consumption - same as its quota.
Will the dates for EB3ROW move beyond Jun 04? May be Dec 04 max. The chances of movng it beyond that are less.
In other words .... the visas are NOT being utilized anywhere else. Its just the consumption is high.
This has been a posted by a fellow member 5 pages ago.. ARE THEY DIVERTING EB3 NUMBERS to some other categories?
Pappu or someone knowledgeable about backlog..please answer.
EB3 ROW is at Jun 2004. But as per latest USCIS inventory, EB3 ROW pending 485's are around 48,000. Visa numbers available every year for EB3 is approximately 42k. If you deduct the backlogged EB3 countries (4x3000) visa numbers, the total comes down to 30k for EB3 ROW. So EB3 ROW should become current or atleast Jul 07 in another 1.5 years. If this is not going to happen, it means they are diverting the EB3 numbers to some other categories.
my 2 cents
Note : If EB3 ROW has 30k visas per year and pending EB3 ROW 485's are only 50k.. why it is still hanging in 2004. God only knows !!

Called all of them but could only speak with 3 assistants. Left a voice mail to the rest. All 3 were courteous and said that they'll pass on the message. In one case, when I started reading the Bill #s, said we know those as we are getting a lot of calls regarding Zoe Lofgren's bills. Way to go team IV!!!

I Applied online in mid april, mailed to CGI houston and received in 43 days. Like others said it was difficult to get them over phone. I only got them once, I messed up with my DOB in online application, so called them and they told they'll take care of it, asked me to mention it in covering letter. I did the same and got my new passport with correct DOB.
Anyone, who has renewed their passport at CGI houston very recently, please post response time and dates. Mine was mailed on 16/6/2008 and received at the consulate on 18/6/2008. No response till now. Thanks in advance for your replies.
