First of all, it is not "my" case. I have been waiting in line for my green card for the past 5 years with my labor stuck in BEC. So, under the current CIR draft, I will be one of the biggest losers as I have not filed for my I-140 and so, my whole application will go down the drain after 5 years of time, money, energy and emotional stress.
How do you come with a math where I will be able to get a GC immediately after 5 years if I apply under the points system? Did you even read the draft bill? How will I or anybody else for that matter, manage for next 5 years without a GC when they are squeezing out the H1B (fee increase, removal of dual intent etc)?? Next would be the per country hard quota that will put us in an eternally long line.
I would definitely compare the current mess of a EB based system with the untested point system and take the current system any time as it is a known devil. The merit system is no angel either. Atleast in the current system, if I wait long enough, I know that my turn will come.
How do you know that process delay would be minimal? USCIS's current delay is not because of process, it is because of the sheer volume of applications and lack of man power. The PERM system takes one month. If you pay premium processing, it takes them 15 days to clear your I-140. So, where is the delay in process? All the delay is from the past backlogs which this bill fails to address and at the I-485 stage where they have to do background checks. That will exist in the points system as well. After you discover the problems in the point system, what will you do then? Ask for another CIR bill??
You don't have to tell what "my" case is. I live my case...
Well said buddy , some people have condescending attitude towards rest of the people. The applications which are pending for past 5 or 6 years will be just thrown in the trash and asked to goto a new point system which will not be available until 2 more years and how the heck one is supposed to get h1 extension.
Hope your labor gets cleared soon and will be able to file 140 and 485 before this mess gets anywhere ...

good post but The regular quota for EB2 and EB3 is only about 9,800(7% of 140k visas) each
I dont think it is 9,800 each. I think it is 9,800 combined - 7% of 140K. To that extent the 21500 number in my earlier post stands revised down to 17,700.

Dude,
Please stop confusing people - there is no such thing as a H-1B transfer.
It is a misnomer. When you move to a new employer, the new employer files a "new petition" with a request to extend your stay.
If you wish to continue working for your current employer, you can do so.
Refer to snathan's post, he has summed it up correctly.
The original poster is good to go - all he has to do is inform USCIS that the never worked for the new employer, and therefore, there are no paystubs, w2forms, etc.
Yes there is and it is called visa portability. :) this is for you as well piyu, do not jump into summary so fast. When you say some one is wrong, you have to quote law.
Ok, Here's what law says about so called "transfer"

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

in addition to the house republican leadership (Hastert, Boehner) and a couple other influential ones on immigration such as rep Sensenbrenner.
Majority of these sponsoring congressmen have a green (anti-immigration) rating, some of them having a green-red (mixed) rating. However, they're mostly red (pro-immigration) when it comes to h1-b or related skilled worker bills (this even includes sensenbrenner's votes!)..
I did all this search out of boredom, but more importantly to assuage my sinking heart. So it looks like with the sponsorship of 10 pro-skilled immigration republicans, and at least not-against-skilled immigration republican leadership, this represents a good sample of republican votes for the passage.
Question remains how and when this bill will make it to the congressional agenda now that the summer is here already.
I keep my fingers crossed.

Actually abolishing the whole H1B thing is theonly way. Actually IV should actively start lobbying against any H1B increase. Then only there is a chance of of corp america supporting any GC reform.
IV should work on highlighting the H1B abuse that is going on, in the media
so that the whole H1B will become so radioactive they will be forced to scale down or reform the H1B.
H1B visa is the main reason for EB problems.
Opposing H1B increase may work in theory. In practice, since majority of IV members are on H1B, any argument in this regard will fail.

Congratulations to everyone whose dates have become current. To all gurus. I wanted to know as to how does it work when it comes to procesing I - 485, what dates are important is it the filing date, or the Priority date? If two people file at same time with different priority dates who gets priority, one with earlier priority date or one with earlier reciept notice date or will the cases be treated at same level.

Me and my wife had each sent a letter on Feb 10 to the President and the IV PO Box. I did not see my id in the names of peeps who sent a letter.
Just posting here to make sure you guys got the copies I sent you.
Maybe my letter was not considered in the total sent so far and there could be others like me.
Just a thought...
Thanks jackisback, efforts appreciated very much, cheers for posting.

Yes, a majority Vote.
"The motion to Lay on the Table is undebatable, and requires only a majority vote, notwithstanding the fact that if not taken from the table the question is suppressed."
Is there some procedure that can undo "lie on the table"

First of all,based on the information you provided i believe that
1. You are continuously employed WITHOUT any gap, meaning working 40 hrs/ week and clean history of pay stubs, W2s etc
2. You have been working for only one employer at any given point of time, as a full time employee
IF What i said above is true, then RFE makes no sense. because based on the H1B rules and regulations, one can have multiple H1Bs BUT can only work for ONE employer as full time, meaning 40hrs/week.
It is also completely legal that one can work up to 20hrs/week for second employer by paying proper taxes . but in your case i believe that you have worked for only one employer and i think you can show the evidence.
Please contact your attorney and draft a response carefully
Please correct me if were wrong
Thanks Satya. Your two assumptions are correct.

Singhsha,
Please see the below.
Employment-based preferences 162,176
First: Priority workers 26,697
Second: advanced degrees or aliens of exceptional ability 44,162
Third: Skilled workers, professionals, and needed unskilled workers 85,030
http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/statistics/yearbook/2007/table07d.xls
So from now on in EB2 there would be around 100k approvals where as in EB3 it would be around 50k approvals due to the chage of vertical fall out to horizontal fall out of visa numbers.

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.

Hi friends,

labor filing date-jun2004
category-eb2
labor approved and i-140 approved in sep2006.waited till now for priority date.
we were not sure about our priority date in the regular one,and my husband's employer agreed to offer us labor substitution,and so we sent papers for labor substitution to our lawyer whose priority date is now current.But still substituted i-140 is not approved yet.waiting for its approval.Lawyer told us that once substituted i-140 is approved,he would go ahead and file our AOS.
Today the priority date is current in regular one.Don't know how to proceed.Can anyone suggest us here?
Awaiting for ur golden replies,

Since Senate already passed the CIR, that included the SKIL, Is it required to vote again in senate if the house somehow passes the SKIL bill?
Too early but just curious.
Thanks.
The SKIL bill was introduced in the Senate in May by Senator John
Cornyn (R-
TX) and was subsequently incorporated into the Comprehensive
Immigration Act
of 2006. We discussed its effects on the H-1B and EB categories in the
June
2006 issue of SHUSTERMAN'S IMMIGRATION UPDATE. See
http://shusterman.com/toc-siu.html
Although the legalization and guest worker provisions of the Senate
bill
have been written off by many pundits, we believe that there is an
excellent
chance that some version of the SKIL bill will be enacted into law
before the
end of 2006.
