The more I think about free MATH tutoring the more it makes sense. It conveys what we are really good at, "MATH", "Sciences", which unfortunately a lot of people lack here in this country. Gets the SKIL bill agenda in focus.
May be can get to the "No Child Left Behind" eyes and ears.

Remember that these numbers are first categorized and then assigned to applicants on a per country basis. In other words, a visa number if it is EB2, should be assigned to EB2 (no matter what) before it goes to EB3. If it is EB1 visa number and for it to become a EB2 visa number, there should not be any need for that number in EB1 category.
Nixstor,
A lot of people argue that these categories are not defined as hard and fast percentages, but that rather the definition of EB-1 already includes spill-over from EB-4/5, EB-2 includes spill-over from EB-1, etc., and that 202(a)(5)(A) actually refers to already spilled-over categories (i.e. the place where they talk about the total number of visas).
I guess this point as to how exactly spillover happens is very moot, and the law is quite open to interpretation. They should have really defined this more clearly with the AC21 amendment, rather than have people waste their time with lawsuits and stuff like that.

Let me ask you the opposite question : How does NOT passing CIR help us ?
I bet you don't have a convincing answer for that. Therefroe, it follows that CIR (even if it is not ideal) will be better than no bill being passed.
And all those anti-CIR folks please get this : It does NOT give instant citizenship to anyone, nor does it put these folks ahead of us in the line. Thats just rhetoric from the likes of numbersUSA and lou dobbs blindly being parroted by some morons/idiots/imbeciles here. The core team had repeated this several times when CIR was under discussion. CIR is definitely not ideal for us because of the possibility of collateral effect from USCIS being overwhelmed, but is that worse than our current situation of waiting till retirement for our PDs to become current ?
As rheoretro mentioned in an earlier post "Burning someone else's house down is not going to help us build our own". That is particularly true for us .. those who who are against illegal aliens are also against high skilled legals with a few honorable exceptions like Cornyn and Kyl. If that wasnt the case, the house and the senate would have passed SKIL in a jiffy by now. Its best for us to remain neutral on the illegal alien issue .. and back it to the extent that it benefits us through a piggy back ride.
How does passing CIR help us? I didn't really have the energy to go thru the whole bill but it didn't specify what "line" those 20+million ppl who eventually get amnesty will be processed in. If they line up on EB3 or a supplementary bill in the future decides to allocate some EB3 to a "Schedule B" (just for example), then we are right back to where we started (but add more years to the waiting).

To core IV team members,
Do we are sending any "thank you faxes "to the congress man who orginates the skill bill?
-----
To me it looks like a ploy by Republicans:
1) To fracture the support for CIR and isolate the undocumented workers
2) Republicans already enjoy support of the anti-immigration lobbies, what better than to add legal immigrant lobbies to their support base. Contradictory, yes, but a suave political move to confuse voters further.
Strategically, when one doesn't enjoy clear majority support, this is a perfect political move.
3) If this were a betting game, I would put my money on,"Nothing is going to happen on SKIL till after the Nov. elections" horse.
4) If Democrats win the House in Nov. the SKIL will have trouble, because it is sponsored by Republicans. If Republicans retain the house, well, SKIL bill would have served its purpose.
5) Even if House passes the SKIL bill Senate won't pass it because they already passed a comprehensive bill. They won't want to appear to be partial to legals and overlook the undocumented workers.
These are my thoughts on SKIL bill as it stands today, I may be wrong.

Does this atleast help in filing for 485 even if numbers are not available ?
I think you will have some benefit out of this bill, albeit, indirectly. This Bill will exempt a lot of folks with advanced degrees from US and non-US universities. All advanced degree holders from US univs. (STEM and non-STEM) will be exempt. So, a person with an MBA flus a 4 year bachelors from a US univ. will be exempt. Also, folks with non-US STEM advanced degrees who have been working in the US in a related field for 3 or more years will be exempt as well. The family members of such folks are exempt as well. Consequently a lot of folks currently waiting in the pipeline may no longer be counted against the quota, thus reducing the clog in the pipeline. ANother benefit out of this bill is that it increases the quota from 140K to 290K. There fore, you will definitely see some positive movement in priority dates for people in your and other similar situations (this is the indirect benefit I was referring to). It is very hard to say at this point how much the positive movement would me. It will all depend on how many people will be exempt from the quota.

Totally agree with you. I know guys who worked in production support and QA applied in EB2. At the same time people like me in positions such as Architect went with the ill-fated EB3. It is sad, but is the truth.
Hate to burst your bubble. But you have an attitude problem. What makes you think that you are in architect position due to your superiority over others? I am also an architect but if the QA guys didnt fix your shit, your bridge would collapse on inauguration.
Also depends, what are you really doing as an architect? Building a supply chain infrastrucuture for your company?

just changed job and Sep 18th was my first day at new job. Because of some silly mistakes of paralegal from previous company I have to restart my GC journey from scratch ...:(. Actually I do not need GC just need EAD for my wife.
Contribution til date:
1> Introduced 4-5 friends and they are now IV members ..
2>I tried to motivate friends to participate in rally who really wants to settle down here(Due to family reason I am not planning to settle down in US.).
3>I have been in constant touch with my senator Mr. Kohl(from WI) and his Immigration department. (His immigration department helped me a lot for my mom's visitor visa.)

..from any single state, afaik (perhaps with the exception of NJ, don't have the exact numbers - but in stark contrast to many other states... ).
Also note, the attendance at short notice for the SJ rally was phenomenal.
Let's just say Californians are more motivated and active then many from the DC area, and you can expect an even larger crowd the next time around, with better planning and more time imo.

One reason for the poor performance from DC area folks is that a GC does not open many avenues for folks in DC area. You could change from a 70K job to 90K job, may be. In Silicon Valley there are many more opportunities. You are talking about a change from 80K to may be starting a million $$ company.

If I were you, I would make it clear to the employer that you qualify for tier 1 in UK and educate them on benefits of tier 1 vs waiting for green card then go from there. It worked for me.
My plan was to see if I can upgrade to EB2 with the same employer. My attorney just shut my hopes down this afternoon. Per my attorney, the job description has to differ by atleast 50% if I were upgrade from EB3 to EB2 with the same employer. I guess it is hard to prove that Principal Software Engineer's job description and Software Engineer's job descriptions differ that much.
At this point I have not other option but to wait it out. I cannot move to a new employer and refile in EB2 because of valid reasons.

GO_GUY,
How much finance is required to do MBA in canada say in top 50 universities. Can we get financial aid for international students?
Canada does not have 50 universities, in TOTAL. So your choice is limited to
(1) Queens University in Kingston, Ont.
(2) University of Toronto
(3) UBC

Is there a way I can ask my new employer if they can file new I140 under EB2 and change my category to EB2?
Does someone has answer for this?
If your job profile demands seniority (which it must be - going by your EB3-2003 PD), you are better off refiling under EB2, instead of *just* (read just) spending couple of thousands on IV campaigns and beating up on people who are not contributing as much you have done to IV. That is not to say we stop contributing for the general cause. Don't misunderstand and start flaming at me, won't do any good.
I have not done this myself with the same employer, I changed my employer for a senior job position and I had also acquired a masters degree in comp engg from a reputed university before I became eligibile for EB2. But as a fellow IVian, who understands the EB3-I issue, I would surely advocate this not only to you but to all other EB3's with older PDs.

What u can do ask your employer/attorney for the copy of the check cashed by TSC/NSC for I-140 and if u look at the back of it you will find the receipt no. That receipt no. is the same whenever u will get ur NOA so make the photocopy of front and back of the check and submit with your I-485 application and relax

True. That's similar to the Canadian system and that is a good thing.
However, are the opportunities out there ? That's the question.
The US Immigration Law is a nightmare.
Couple of years ago, I migrated to Australia.
The Australian laws are very clean and straight forward. There is only one application form with some very simple question and detailed instructions. Just fill up the form, enclose the necessary documents and fees. That's it. You are done. In due time they will let you know "YES" or "NO".
There is no need to feed fat-belly hungry sharks called "Immigration Attorneys" (of course there are exceptions).
Once your case is approved, you and your family are eligible for the all the rights (except Vioting Power) enjoyed by any Australian Citizen.
Once accepted, there is no official discrimination.
Here the US Government cries about anti-discrimination, human rights etc, but those are only eye-wash. They should take lessons from the Australians.
