This "anand" guy is a psuedonym for a Kim Berry crony for all we know.Old timers will notice that his distracting messages bear a striking resemblance to the folks who attacked IV core on the day of their CIR success. Such folks are not worthy of a personal response from IV core members - their time is too valuable for that. Hell, Roy Beck and Lou Foulmouth don't care to respond to our emails, do they ?

People in neighbouring states of DC did not make it , you think they will make it all the way to west coast! very doubtful!!
I had lawmaker apointment (in Rayburn building across the street from where the rally ended) after the rally. There were 10 Indians giggling at me. At first I thought they attended the rally. I was walking in their direction when their looks got weird and I realized they did not attend the rally!

If you file today it will be past october when you have to choose between EB2 and EB3 (I485 stage for EB2) till that time you have both the process going on EB2 and EB3.
If you start EB2 process in October it will take 6 to 9 months to clear labor and I 140..
It is taking average of 1 year for I140. And there is a possibility of PERM audit , which can derail all your plans.

Dear Member of Congress:
As U.S. employers, education institutions, and trade associations representing the future of American
innovation, we are writing to urge your support for three bills that will make necessary incremental
adjustments to the employment-based (EB) green card system. The measures � H.R. 6039, H.R. 5921
and H.R. 5882 � enjoy bipartisan support and should be enacted without delay this year.
America�s scientific and technological leadership is at a crossroads. To remain the world leader in
innovation, U.S. employers must have access to much-needed and sought-after highly educated talent �
including scientists, researchers, teachers and medical professionals. Foreign-born professionals make
great contributions to the U.S. economy and create good, high-paying jobs for all Americans.
U.S. employers rely on EB green cards to keep foreign-born talent living, working and innovating in
America. Yet, despite the critical importance of these visas, Congress has failed to address the well
documented backlogs in the EB green card system that leave some foreign-born, highly educated
professionals waiting over six to 10 years to receive a permanent resident visa.
The three bills will address many shortcomings in the EB green card system. For example:
� H.R. 6039, by exempting highly educated, foreign-born students earning an advanced degree in
science, technology, engineering or mathematics from a U.S. university from the annual EB green
card limit, would help U.S. employers retain these talented individuals in the U.S. workforce. For
example, foreign nationals comprise half of the master�s and 70 percent of the Ph.D.s in electrical
engineering from U.S. universities.
� H.R. 5921 will help put an end to multi-year wait times by eliminating unduly restrictive per
country limits on EB green cards.
� H.R. 5882 will help to reduce visa backlogs by �recapturing� EB green cards from prior years
that went unused due to government processing delays and making them available immediately to
those who meet the requirements.
Without these incremental reforms, U.S. employers will continue to be crippled in the global competition
for the world�s best talent, as more and more extremely valuable professionals from around the world
take their education and abilities to competitors abroad.
While permanent reforms for the EB green card system will be critical to U.S. employers� long-term
ability to hire and retain key worldwide talent, H.R. 6039, H.R. 5921 and H.R. 5882 are common sense,
incremental reforms that should be enacted this year. We again urge your support for these important
measures.
Sincerely,

Thank you. Right after I'm done typing this, I am clicking on the contribution button to contribute towards this initiative.
This will be in addition to the $200 I just pledged to help (airfare, hotel) members travelling to DC, and the recurring contribution that I'm signed up for since 2006.
I am not wealthy, I don't have a ton of disposable cash lying around. I just want my green card, and I want it now. Actually no, I wanted it yesterday.
If a few thousand dollars in advocacy contributions help me get my green card faster, and helps other qualified, deserving candidates in the years to come, I'll gladly invest in that karma.
Everyone, please do this, and help your own selves.

Now, the bad part ... the achilles heel of every high-skills amendment is the tethered H1B quota tricks. They are exempting everyone who has US masters or a non-US master in STEM from H1 quota, effectively making H1 quota = A LOT MORE.
The exact same radioactive provision for H1 quota is also in Lieberman-Hagel amendment 1242.
This will sink both of them unless either there is some inside deal going on that we dont know, or they strike out the H1 issue from this on the floor of the senate at the last minute and be content with H1 quota of 180,000.
When Sanders got his amendment he actually was giving sops to the IEEE folks as he surely knew that he couldnot get the H1B numbers reduced. On the other hand note that Cantwell is from Washington (Microsoft's state) and has garnered support from Leahy, Cornyn and Hatch. So this amendment comes from both sides of the aisle and once the $5000 fee is in place for the H1B it is difficult for Durbin/Grassley and the rest to really argue otherwise at this point. Infact didn't Durbin et al. get some additional restrictions in place for H1-B's?
Lets hope for the best.....Should we be specifically targeting some Senators for phone calls about SA 1249?????

I am also worried. I called my attorneys office to inform them but of course like always he is in a meeting. I am sure this was an error but I am hoping its not call me optimistic but I like the smell of green card :)
Hopefully, as others suggested, it is a case where they took your 2004 RIR labor date and approved your current petition when that date was current.
Either way, wish you the very best.
Every approval means one less wasted visa number; and one person out of the GC queue.

Hi, I have a question about which service center to use when e-filing for AP renewal. Here is my situation:
- I live in California, but my I-485 has been rotting in Texas Service Center.
- When e-filing, one of the questions on the USCIS website was which service center my I-485 application has been pending at. I answered it as Texas Service Center, and went through with rest of the e-filing process.
- After submitting the form, I got the receipt number that starts with "SRC", which I am assuming ties my application with Texas Service Center. The cover letter of the PDF (which was generated right after submission) even said to mail supporting documentation to TSC.
Now, the problem is, I was reading through the instructions for I-131 filing and the PDF (I-131instr.pdf, which I downloaded from USCIS website) says on Page 7 that I should file my AP renewal with Nebraska Service Center, because I am a California resident.
Given that I already filed my AP renewal with Texas Service Center, am I in trouble here? I don't remember the USCIS website asking me or prompting me to file the renewal application with Nebraska Service Center, so I am a bit baffled by how I ended up in this situation. Is there anything I could do to correct it now? Has anyone run into this situation before?
Thanks!

Info I provided on G325 is correct. I have only worked for 'Employer #1' and 'Employer #2', which I entered in G325. I have never worked for 'Employer X' and I did not mention 'Employer X' in G325.
Thanks.
Well, It depends on whether you did a transfer from Employer #2 to Employer X OR Employer X filed a new H1B. If this is a transfer, you should not waste any more time on this forum, rather contact an attorney immediately and get help.

I am preparing I131 (AP) renewal application for me and my family. For my son, who is 8 years old, do I need to fill "Part 9. Signature of Person preparing the form, if other than the applicant" since I am preparing this form? OR can I just sign Part 8 on-behalf of my son?
G-28 form says it needs to be filled in case if you use Attorney or Representative. Just wondering whether I need to fill a G-28 form for the above AP renewal application for my son since I am filling Part 9 in his application.
Can somebody clarify? Thanks for your help.

Please check with your lawyer but as per my understanding, your wife needs to be in 'status' to be added as a dependent on the 485. Since she is on H1B, she is already in 'status'. There is a separate thread for documents required for 485. Check there.
Hi folks,
My labor and 140 got approved and PD is march 05.
After the good news, I can apply for 485, But I have
a question. My wife she came on H4 here and then converted
to H1B and get stamped also. Is it going to be a problem if I apply 485 for
her ( because of H1B) and if its not a problem guide me what are the necessary documents
for her.
Thanks in advance

There are many here (on IV forums) who question if Lobbying and Grassroots efforts really works. It they didn't, we wouldn't be here!
Read the following article on early Indian Immigrants and their miserable conditions before 1946. How they overcame the racist/xenophobic labor groups opposition through lobbying and grassroots efforts and became citizens.
http://www.sikhspectrum.com/082006/citizen.htm
Read the article, become motivated, join MI chapter. Together we shall prevail
True stuff...
Those who question the lobbying and efforts are not really questioning it. They are actually saying that lets do nothing and let system figure it out itself. well, cant blame them. But we will move forward. We will do everything we can at local level to make sure that we are heard.

Hi Pappu
Like me most of us would have got the reply from the Senetor or the congress man for the email that we sent. But all the replies are generic in nature and focus is on illegal immigration issue. The problems of "Legal immigrants" to my knowledge did not get their attention?. This is my observation.
Regards
GCANDGC
That is correct. The responses at most times will be generic on the subject of Immigration. Sending them hundreds and thousands of emails will work as per our advocacy strategy.
You may want to do a couple of things.
1. Call up the lawmaker office now and thank them for responding to the email.
Tell them your concerns. Follow the talking points from http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum85-action-items-for-everyone/1391371-cir-national-phone-campaign-29th-april-2010-to-14th-may-2010-a.html
2. Come to DC to take part in the advocacy day event. This is your opportunity to take your emails a step further and now talk to the staffers. Emails are good to create an awareness. Now it is time to step it up further and make an impact that will be thousand time greater via face to face meetings in DC with the lawmaker office. Meeting in DC has more impact than say meeting in your state local office of the lawmaker.
Nevertheless keep sending emails daily so that it helps generate awareness in every lawmaker office and help us in the next steps of advocacy.

Response I got from the Senator.....
Thank you for contacting me to share your views about the proposed framework for comprehensive immigration reform. It is an honor to serve as your Senator, and I appreciate hearing from you.
Like you, I understand that our country's foundation has been strengthened by our proud tradition of immigration, and I believe that people who work hard, contribute to our economy, and respect the law should always be welcome in the United States. At the same time, I also believe our current immigration system is broken. We need strong legislation to restore the rule of law and strengthen the security of our borders and the integrity of our workforce.
As you know, a group of Senators, including Majority Leader Reid, released their REPAIR Proposal (Real Enforcement with Practical Alternatives for Immigration Reform). This proposal outlines a framework of policy recommendations aimed at restoring security at our borders, cracking down on employers hiring illegal immigrants through an employment verification system, and establishing a strictly regulated system for earning legal permanent residency. To ensure enforcement, the framework also calls for increased border patrol personnel, resources, and technology, and lays out a policy for administering temporary work and student visas.
The framework for comprehensive immigration reform has not yet been introduced as legislation in the Senate. Please know that I will continue to monitor the status of this proposed framework, and I will keep your views in mind when the Senate takes up immigration reform.
Thank you, again, for sharing your thoughts with me. I hope you will continue to keep me informed about the issues that matter most to you.
All my best,
Jeff Merkley
United States Senator
