I met a US citizen to whom I explained the situation. She immediately signed this letter and asked for a soft copy and is going to get all her friends to sign it. If people who have nothing to gain can help out so much, surely we can do better.
Hey buddy, thanks for everything you are doing!
Together, we shall make this HAPPEN!

Hi ! My H1B with current employer is valid till March 2010. I got a new job offer and employer is willing to transfer my H1B. I have submitted all the documents.
The attorney of the new employer says, that I can start working with new company once USCIS receives my application. Is it safe? She says Fedex tracking no. is enough. Did any one face this situation? pl.respond. She got instructions from the employer to apply in regular process.How much time it will take to get a receipt no. in regular process?
Once you get a reciept notice, you can start working, but to be safe, you maywant to wait till approved. If the employer wanted you badly, why did they not file in PP?

Folks - I would just say - we must not look into things through a "convex mirror". racism and discrimination are big words and knowingly or unknowingly people do treat each other differently at different times and in different circumstances.
Most folks here are Indian and being indian we always feel that a Eurpoean looks down upon us.
When you have a wonderful "Air India" - why bother to even talk about other arilines? When you live in USA where everyone is treated the same - why bother about an 8 hour flight where air hostess was not pleasing or something else.
On Another note I have seen people claiming "Air India" as lousy toilets, useless old flight attendents, - I have seen people treating these flight attendents with attitude - finding fault with them etc.. A westerner will not do this.
I travelled in Air India this January and I can ONLY say - I loved it. I travelled in Delta, Lufthansa, Kuwait, Emirates, KLM etc.. and Air India was the best - just because I felt very nice about it. I liked Delta too.
Now, coming back to attitude - Air Hostess - some of them do have a lot of attitude - this is common among all airliners. I remember one air hostess who was anoyed with my kid as she was crying loud and I heard her saying to another passenger "I am getting a headache" - but then there were some air hostesses who actually played with my kid - gave her lot of stuff to eat and play, one of them even took pictures with my kid.
Now - lets discuss the issue - the airline put all Indians in a lounge because of visa rules - lets not blame the airline here. Indian govt MUST take it with France fovt and work out something that helps Injdian nationals transitting through France. To do such a thing, Indian govt must have a pressing reason and for that - regular travellers to Fraqnce must express concern and let govt know how beneficial it is to both Indian and France.
On another note - I see so many people love to talk about airlines and how people are treated, i would recommend that we open a thread for each airline and post some genuine issues with airlines like Transi visa issues, attitude probllems, rude behaviour, missing baggage, bad flights etc.... we can even write good things if we come across.
It is natural to bad mouth people or things, we cannot expect everything or everyone to be like what we expect - we can atleast expect that it is just the way things are.

cloture vote on CIR just started
only 30 or so No votes (I counted 26 then a splattering of NOs here and there came in later), lots of Aye's. Looks like atleast Cloture will pass. There is still one more Cloture vote to go on thursday then the final vote. Hope it stumbles going forward, its looking bad right now (meaning there is support for his bill)

I realized the clout that IV has grown when we got the Visa Bulletin reversal. This clout will only get stronger as Logiclife has explained. If you relate to politics in your own countries, the bigger the crowd at a politicians meeting; the bigger his clout. They can hire people to lobby for them and follow them around as a show of strength. Similarly in US if more organizations support a politician and if they can lobby independently for his agenda, it is a show of strength for him.
If you have observed election campaigns, you will see that all the ads are "Paid for" by some third party claiming no direct relation to the politician. This is the support structure in US and now after the rally IV is an organization which can provide such support as a return favor to our agenda being pushed ahead.
For the guys who sat on the sidelines and snickered at us, you have to realize we are the "brightest and the best" and we will not do something for the sake of doing it unless we know what the effects of such actions will be. We always see the big picture so just join us and work for this cause which is critical to all of us.

desi9333 thanks for the link. Nice one - even though it covers only Hiring practices, and not opportunities for promotions and progression.
The "Opportunity" usage has been explained much beyond Hiring in the other laws and related documents. Hence, an employee who subsequently faces discrimination because he/she cannot progress or misses on job advancements due to Visa limit restrictions is certainly being discriminated against.
Its my view and others can differ. I respect all opinions and am thankful to all because it helps improve my reasoning, mutual respect and tolerance abilities.
Back to the subject,
My earlier post on first page this thread has some action items - can anyone here take the lead and convince an attorney to take up the cause?
My cheque shall be sent as soon as the ball gets rolling.
The aim is not to convince an attorney. You can file a lawsuit for any reason and fight it. But the question is - Is the case strong enough?
In this case the case is not strong. IV has access to best attorneys and we have had discussions on this as well. The best way to change country limits discrimination is by changing the law.

Just a simple question. Corporations are arguing that every year 100k new jobs are created in high tech. Even 75% of the new jobs are for H1b then only 75k H1bs are needed. Even if you include other jobs teacher,Healthcare you do not need more than 120K every year Why do you need unlimited H1bs? Any pro immigrant lobbying group is not giving justification in numbers though everyone accepts there should be increase in H1b numbers.There should be increase in GC numbers as backlog had increased(But in this case also no one gave correct numbers based on requirement) but nothing wrong in H1b quota and some regulations in H1b to minimise abuse.
Another aspect is in the bill they gave 115k H1b for 2008. If they do not put restrictions your company cannot get any new H1b as most of H1b quota will be used by Indian consulting companies in one day. Do you think it is correct?
If not correct what is your solution? Corporation solution for this problem is unlimited H1bs by giving exemption to STEM and US master degree holders from H1b quota.
I am also opposing the restrictions in H1b program in the bill. But I do not have any alternative solution for the problems in the H1b program.
Again, there is a common misconception that companies have unlimited access to talent in other countries, and the only limiting factor is the quota of H1B visas.
Not true, by a long shot.
To give a simple example, our company is looking for people in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Canada and UK since the pool of qualified people in India has dried up in our field. Can anyone guess where is the biggest talent pool? Nope, not in Bangalore, its right here in USA!! Not all companies are looking for the cheapest person. They are looking for the best person. And in many cases, the best person is already here, and has gathered more experience over the years working for US companies. But they cannot hire her, simply because she is on a visa and thereby beholden to another company. If she had a GC, that would free up the talent pool and thereby make many companies less reliant on H1Bs. Increasing GCs for EB candidates has the same effect as increasing H1 quota, with the added benefit of making the cream of the crop available and reducing the uncertainty and hassle of hiring an H1.
This is why it is in the best interest of companies to support EB GCs.
My friend Senthil makes the same mistakes (repeatedly, unfortunately):
(A) Assuming that "good" companies will not be affected by any change of increase in fees for H1B, since they presumably have unlimited pockets and unlimited access to unlimited talent. (Big ha!ha!)
(B) "Good" companies can always get to hire people in US if they exist, and the only reason they hire H1 is that they cannot find anyone in US as there is no one in US who is good enough for the job for love or money (Bigger ha!ha!)
As to the question "then why are companies not doing enough for EB candidates", I do not know, and neither does anyone know, truthfully. Maybe they are, but as someone pointed out, no single player in the CIR game has enough clout to run the whole show. Or else the bill would have been passed long ago.

What regulatory or legislative changes (including a possible pre-application filing procedure for adjustment cases) are recommended to facilitate caseload planning and make optimum use of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudication capacity?
By the way, we will have minimum participation for this as most of guys/gals in this forum are on EAD(you will know this when you see amount of questions answered for someone EAD and all H1B related questions are usually buried under within an hour or so)...
Indeed it seems very few people are interested as most member may have their 485 submitted already. EB immigrants are a small minority of this country, yet we are only a small portion of this small minority. It is a sad fact, but it should not stop us from fighting..

sorry for mentioning renewal, disregard that word.
Yes, go ahead and fill out the same form(regardless of the previous AP status), be sure to get the latest form from uscis site.
Thanks for the reply and the blog!
Regarding your answer for question 3 - when you say "renewal" what does it mean? There is just one application form for I-131, so should I simply fill out the same form regardless of whether the previous AP is current or expired?

I hate to say this and I hope I am wrong. All of us EB3 folks need to start speaking up or else our fate is sealed. I do not see any hopes of CIR passing. There is always going to be some political backlash due to the AMNESTY factor.
From what I have seen, most employers are now filing only in EB2 category. They know that filing in EB3 will see their applicants backlogged so severly that there is no hope in seeing their applications approved. So, even those with less than 5 years of experience create resumes that show 5 years to qualify for EB2. Imagine the flood of applicants in EB2 that will pour in when the dates move forward beyond July 2007. There will be a new backlog of EB2 numbers that we have to wait behind. When are we going to get our turn?
With nearly 10 years of experience and a master's degree, I am still languishing behind all these new comers who come here with fake experiences to qualify for EB2.
We EB3 folks need to speak up, and have the spill over given to the oldest filed applications IRRESPECTIVE of category. The spillover rules from what I know were defined at a later stage and not as per the original law. If we cannot get CIR passed nor a piecemeal regulation, at least let us get the spillover changed.
Or, let us en masse transfer to EB2 by porting, thereby making us all eligible for GC ahead of those that are coming in through the back door. I see them as no different from the undocumented immigrants. Breaking the ethical law at the expense of those of us who followed the law. Our positions did not require a Master's degree and I dont see why a programming position today still requires such. I also dont see why our experience today should not count towards qualifying for EB2.
I dont care what or how many reds the EB2 folks give, but the fact of the matter is that we EB3 must join hands.
Dude:
If you think you are qualified for an EB2 job why don't you apply for one and get another labor/140 filed rather than crying "Sour Grapes"? Get out of your comfort zone and try getting a new job. Simple. If you have been on an Eb3 since 2004, that explains your "Go getter" attitude. Be smart dude.
