2. Make sure ead is extended without any rfe. Uscis will invent thousand things to issue rfe, ead should be in a different league to h1 and it should not turn into another h1 where you are slapped with rfe left right and center. Example pay stub rfe, ability to pay RFE, customer purchase order RFE etc etc etc, green card holders don’t have any problem working in these same jobs so why should ead people face this nonsense (otherwise it is just like h1).

Thanks for the good laugh.

Eb3 v/s Eb2 is a nonsensical nonproductive meaningless argument. If you actively participate in speaking with the lawmakers, you would know the bogus nature of this squabble. Each one of us has a choice. We can continue with this pissing contest or we could do something to fix the backlogs. We all understand the frustration and anxiety due to the long delays. It is easy to be drawn in meaningless eb2 v/s eb3 quarrel in the virtual world when one is not privy to how things work in the real world.
If you feel compelled to engage in infra and trivia, please utilize your energy for your benefit by understanding the larger debate so that each one of us can employ our energy to fix our issues. Please use your energy in a positive manner. There is no point of this discussion. It is easy to write/post arguments just to support your own application/position in line. Anybody can do that. But such narrow minded approach will not help even a single soul on this planet, including yours. For those of you who want to continue with this bickering, you can do so at the expense of your own time. And when you engage in such arguments, please remember that whatever you all write or post about this nonsensical back-and-forth is not helping you or your family. But if you are sincere and care for this issue, if you truly care for your issue, then please consider participating actively to meet with the lawmakers to make our voices heard.
Members who actively engage in the advocacy effort know when we are saying. For example � talk to nearly 125 IV members who lead the lobby day in DC during the past week. They will tell you the bogus nature of this Eb2 v/s Eb2. Stop wasting your energy arguing thing which have no meaning. Please utilize your energy in finding fix for the backlogs because there will never ever be a bill/set of provisions only for Eb3 or only for Eb2.
Understood every point of yours & I stand by what you said except for the language as it could have been a bit better. Regarding EB3 or EB2, maybe IV should work attaching a provision as part of its CIR work, which makes USCIS determine whether a candidate is in EB3 or EB2 based on the PERM & 140 instead of letting companies & attorneys mention it. If this happens the process will be much better as USCIS controls the categories & applicants do not need to beg a company to throw them into an EB2 basket or EB3 basket. Also, applicants can have certain amount of freedom from the companies.
When a process is flawed, there is always room for abuse. Of course, the abuse might be minimal, but when we see people with masters & 15 years of experience toiling in EB3 category it pains my heart. It is a fact there could be lesser qualified inidividuals who are in EB2 category, but the companies have managed to use these to hold the employees as hostage.
Hopefully USCIS someday understands this and takes control of assigning applicants into categories than asking company & attorney to mention.
Just sharing my two cents. Also, frustrations from EB3 should be tolerated by IV members, instead of beating them with "red dots". Because if we request members to put their time and effort then it would be mostly EB3 members as they are the "worst" affected. I am sure every year between july-sept most of EB2 members will do bulletin-watching & there is nothing wrong in it.

New applications coming in after July 2????
Don't panic.
That "WOULD" be coming in after July 2. WOULD. Not "will" but "would". Hypothetically speaking.

If you friends spouse was on H1 then i think her current status with USCIS would be H1.
Since she is not working with the current employer she need to do the following things to void H1 status.
a) Start using EAD to work.
b) Use AP to re-enter the country.
c) Get H4 status change.
Otherwise her current status would be in H1.it could create some problem if beyond couple of weeks.

Thanks pappu for taking care of this. I just checked and saw that someone left me the exact same comments as Admin. It appears some republican here is a huge Palin fan and this guy is posing as Admin and is posting -ve comments for posts that are against Palin and comments that are in favor of Obama :-).

I loved Fragomen. Very responsive and are working over weekends to expedite applications..
I highly recommend them.
I second this. Fragomen is excellent, working over the weekends too..couldnt believe my ears this morning when they called me and asked me to come over to sign the completed applications for me and my wife. I kinda resigned myself to the fact that these big firms will take a while to process these applications and wasnt expecting anything from them atleast till the third week of July.
Just amazing firm...

My company started the PERM process for me about 2.5 months ago. I contacted Fragomen about 1.5 months after approvals within the company and they said they are working on establishing min requirements for the position. I then contacted them 3 weeks after that day and they said they have established the requirement and will request the DOL for prevailing wage info (this was 2 weeks ago). After which they are going to start the recruitment process. So I'm not sure if the time line is okay or should I be chasing them more frequently? Please advise.

Reallocation of Immigrant Visa Numbers
Immigrant visa quotas would be substantially realigned under S. 1348. Our current law provides for a baseline annual quota of 140,000 immigrant visas for foreign nationals immigrating on the basis of employment. In the past several years, a backlog has developed in several employment-based immigrant categories, with multiyear waits for some prospective immigrant workers. The Senate bill would, in the first five years after enactment, increase the quota for merit-based and employment-based cases, in part to address existing backlogs. An estimated 247,000 numbers would be available for work-related immigration. Beginning in the sixth fiscal year after enactment, however, the quota would drop to 140,000 numbers per year. This level would remain in place for at least two years, until approximately the eighth year after enactment, when the quota would rise to a baseline of 380,000 per year, with additional numbers made available for previously undocumented immigrants who become eligible to apply for permanent residence.
Is the interpretation of current Bill (without amendment) is correct for the work related immigration?

My opinion even if CIR is dead this year, as long as Kennedy is alive they will come back in 2009 with similar immigration bill with no benefits for eb visas and the whole story will repeat we will have ours fingers crossed and IV will try their best to tweak in some amendments and again it will die for the same reasons, as they are not going accept any amendments until grand immigration bill we will wait for next CIR and we go into infinite loop.
may time will pass and 10-15 years like this and we all will get current some time and eventually get visas.
I think it is better if we get over with it either good or bad at least we can come out of limbo.
and then try for new amendments.

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.

I absolutely do not agree that it will do more harm - given the current situation where every country is backlogged in EB3, and EB2 for India/China is also severely backlogged, there is very little chance that India and China can have more than 10000 visas (7% of 140,000) issued in Fy 2006 across all of Eb1/2/3.
Current System
EB1 China/India might benefit a bit because they will be the first ones to get the visas from extra EB1 visas but then, if Specter/Frist's bill passes, many of these EB1's will get a chance to file for 485 anyway.
EB2 China/India might also benefit a little bit provided rest of the world leaves something behind.
EB3 will not benefit at all as every country is backlogged here.
Looking at FY 2005 statistics is very misleading. So, the way things are, any bill is better than no bill at all - at least we have a shot at improving the status quo we are in.
Instead of just comparing current situation with future, especially when the future is so unclear, we should try our level best to achieve the following
1. Put the clause back
2. Amendment to file 485 after 140 or labor has been approved for certain time but Visa number is not available. Emphasis should be on the total wait time for GC, so that people in BECs do not get screwed.
Put all your energy and efforts in achieving these and we will not see retrogression for many years. My goal is not to dissuade people from the comparison - it is a healthy exercise, but now that we know what the pros and cons are, let us work together to solve.

There was a Telecon held yesterday night ( 9:00 pm - 10:30 pm) on establishment of new state chapters. Some core members as well as some veteran State Chapter leaders participated along with us greenhorns (newbies). Me, Chintu25 and CagedCactus participated from Michigan. Regretfully since it was a last moment decision , more members couldn't be invited to participate.
I was active in the Telecon almost to the last (I hope). It was highly educative and informational to listen to the IV Core perspective on State Chapters. Veterans also pitched in with their experience in organizing their chapters (some super secret recipes were revealed :)). Some chapter leaders for new chapters also introduced some really great ideas. To the end, I started bombarding the core with lots of questions, and they were patient in answering all of those ( b/n 10-10:30 pm!).
Unfortunately these matters cannot be discussed in the public forum, here, as we are monitored by Anti-Immigrants. Ditto for E-mails and PMs, as we have no way of verifying the authenticity of the other person. So please don't feel offended if your PMs and E-mail inquiries remain unanswered!
ONLY way to get acquainted with the 'inside news' is to participate in the 10/20 meeting, details of which are published below. Be there if you wish to remain in the know.

But will the duration he was with company B while the petiton was pending with USCIS be considered as out-of-status if he returns to company A now? Also his H1b for company A expired while he was away at company B. Will his petition now be considered a transfer back to company A or will it be considered as a new H1 as it had expired few months back?

Everyone, there seems to be some confusion about IV's strategy.
We recognize that there are some harmful provisions in these bills, but there are also a lot of good provisions.
We have the logic and numbers on our side, so our strategy is to present the facts and ask for the bad provisions to be removed, but we will still support the bills.
