As we do not have any real numbers :) my predictions are based on EB2 numbers from (assuming the data to be a true random sample)
Here are number of EB2-I I485 pending cases by year
2007-100
2006-150
2005-125
2004-200
2003-50 (250 have been approved)
USCIS has approved about 450 EB2-I cases last year. A conservative estimate of approval rate going forward would be 30 cases per month. Based on this the movement..
2003 cases will be approved by Sep '08
2004 cases by Apr '09
2005 cases by Sep '09
2006 cases by Dec '09
Good Luck !!!

This press release only shows that it is an administrative/executive fix. Either it is USCIS or DOS or the President, is what I do not know. But clearly, it is something not mandated by legislation, else USCIS/DOS would be breaking several laws by continuing to use the old bulletein.

Now I'm gonna feel guilty for criticizing bigtime. Can admins un-ban him? Is there any option like that? Well.. yes, bigtime would have to wait until the celebration is over. But banning him is over the top.

I have been speaking to colleagues and friends. Not many were aware of the rally others didn't think it would make an impact.After I showed them the website and BBC news article they were listening. I was hesitant to come there now that i was there i will attend a 2nd, 3rd and everyone. People in different parts of the country should lobby and bring 20-30 people and then you'll see numbers. Before the rally run some ads on popular channels and newspapers and motivate them.

What I'm talking about is that I like the idea of members who have contributed earlier to have their contributions applied retroactively towards membership (eg. if someone contributed $123 - they get 4 months of membership - i.e. multiples of $25 per month)
Its only a thought - upto the core and a quorum to decide and act on this.

I read it, not to redicule you but, look who is quoting murthy! :D :D
Its convenient han!
I do not want to go back and forth with you guys. I rest it and thanks for posting the link.
There is a reason, I said read it and understand it. I don't think you have understood it.
I was referring to the opinion letter by Efren Hernandez, Chief (at that time), Business and Trade Services Branch. How does it matter if it was response to a query by lawyer.
Just because I don't agree with a lawyer on a particular issue, it does not mean that I have to disagree with all other issues as well. Do you think that attorney is correct all the time?
The bottom line is that opinion letter is written by a USCIS officer and that I was referring it. And most important of all, you were proven wrong, again. That is the real reason of you being upset.
Have a good day!

No one will be on our side other than ourselves. Why should others(US business, political, people) should be behind our goals. They do not have much to gain from it. Our voice will be heard, but will not be considered unless the so called others have some facts and figures. Those facts and figures should make them feel that their counrty would lose to competetors in near future. It will take time.
Get support from whom? The same corporations that want to outsource jobs to low cost countries AND also lobby for H1B increase, again to keep wages low and all this to increase their bottom line. We need to re think our strategy and get it straight as to who is on our side and who is not.

Nope. Need 60 votes to do anything in Senate and that is why even though the Dems have a so called majority then cant get anything done.
However, you need 60 votes to end a fillibuster. A fillibuster is the method used by senators to stall a bill. They will force debate to continue indefinitely. To overcome the forced debate, you need 60 votes (which is what the cloture motion is).
To pass the bill, only 51 votes are needed. If there is a tie (50-50 or 49-49 or any valid combination), the the Vice President casts his vote to break the tie (and we all know on which side the VP is on)

Seems like this is just a Republican backed bill. Dems will fight this or insist that some provisions for illegals be included as well. Also once elections are over it is possible that the Dems will be majority and then this bill gets kicked to the side.
is it not sad to see voting trends decide stuff like this.
I do hope to one day vote in this country (I voted in every election in my home country after I became eligible).
If the dems do "kill the SKIL", they would have definitely lost my vote in the future. I know it is inconsequential compared to the millions they will gain from the illegals becoming legal. but in my small way, that will be my protest.

I wish there was a better way to establish priority date other than an approved I-140. Anyways...
I am worried that if I get laid off or other people at our site are laid off, how will it affect my I-140 processing which is pending at TSC? Has anyone been denied I-140 because of layoffs by the company?
The company said they will not revoke the 140 application and will send me the approval if it comes later (so I can at least retain the priority date if I have to do this all over again at a new company).
Another thing that worries me is that the company is refusing to do premium processing of the I-140 application, even if I am ready to pay for the premium processing fees. I am at loss how to convince their dense mind what it means to lose the priority date.
This sounds unfair. Because of the backlogs, you have waited 6 years. Now you got laid off and you lost everything. Would that be the situation if there was no backlog and you were able to get your green card within, say 2 or 4 years?
I think those government agencies should take responsibilities and compensate for your loss.
Anyone thought about that?
:mad:

Even I was interested in similar scenario.
1. What happens when changing employers when I-140 and I-485 pending for less than 180 days?
2. From my understanding, the process needs to restart. However, do I have to do something to withdraw pending I-485.
3. Will it be termed as denied I-485 and create problems if I apply new I-485 with new employer?
Any response will be appreciated.
I have a pending I-140 since July 2006. Today i lost my sponsor employer and don't know what to do. Can I switch my pending I-140 to another employer? What can i do NOT to lose status? I still have a valid H1B till Augist 2008 but I have travelled on my Advance Parole. Does that mean that my H1B is terminated? Please advise. Thank you.

One option for H4s could be to involve in organizations like Bill and Melinda Gates foundation or similar social service organizations. Well educated people can do wonders in social service. Everyone must do social service, it would be great if H4s can occupy themselves more into voluntary work etc...
That is all well and good if like Bill & Melinda gates you have millions in your bank account... People like us would prefer 2 working spouses to give added meaning to both the partner's lives. If over and above that you have time, fine do social service.

If you want some good reasons why H4's should have work permit read this
All these years the United States of America denied work-permits to
dependant visa holders with one simple explanation "You are in USA
because Your Spouse is allowed to work here". But numerous surveys by
different social organizations has thrown light on the darker sides of
the life of dependant visa holders.
The dependant visa holder has to forgo his/her career growth in-order
to stay with the spouse. This causes a big gap in the career and
finding a suitable job in the home country becomes difficult when the
pricipal visa holder has to leave USA and return to the home country.
If the dependant visa holder's field of study or work is, one in which
getting a sponsorship from an employer is difficult, getting a
work-visa is almost impossible. He/she even loses his/her hard earned
skills in the respective fields due to the large gap in career. Even
though volunteering is possible, most of the volunteer jobs might not
utilize the persons skills.
Studying in the USA is good option but, being a single income family,
it will affect the financial satatus of the family if other members of
the family (children) are studying.
90 percent of dependant visa holders are women. Women being, more
susceptible to domestic violence by the partner, becomes even more
prone to violence due to her complete dependance on the Spouse. They
become prisoners in USA due to the spousal abuse and immigration
policies that give their husbands complete control over their lives.
The immigrant Women get protection under VAWA but non-immigrants are
not covered. Even if a law to let the non-immigrant battered women to
obtain work permit is introduced, It might not protect women whose
cases dismissed as non-critical. The abuser can furthur exert his
control over the victim and convince her that he has changed so that
the victim might not press charges against him. Thus the abuser gets
encouraged to continue violence.
Divorce is not an option because most non-immigrants come from third
world countries where a divorced women has to bear the social stigma of
divorce and will not be protected in her own home country.
Because of the long queues for Labor certification applicationa and
retrogression of visa numbers, getting an EAD and Green Card takes
longer.
Most European countries issue work permits to the spouses. Also the
time taken for permanent residency is lesser. In USA L2 and E2 visa
holders can have work permit, but the other categories are ignored.
Fear of flooding the labor market is not a valid reason to deny the
dependant visa holders work permit. Allowing the L2 and E2 category to
work didn't create any marked increase in the unemployment rate among
US Citizens.

I am in a lot of stress. Please help out if possible.
Six years on my H1B expire in April 2008. I just got laid off from company A. My last day of work will be May 31st. I have LC and I-140 approved with company A.
If I join company B starting June, and transfer my H1B to B, can it extend my H1B beyond 6 years based on the approved I-140 I had with company A? If yes, will it be for one year or three years?
Gurus please help. I will be grateful.
Thanks
Hello Chitta:
Please check the following link from "Immigration.com".
http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=240313
As per it, you can get a 3 yr-extension as long as your existing company doesn't revoke your I-140 (and it wouldn't as you are not leaving on your own). So you should be fine. Good-luck for your next job.

I do undersatnd that these companies did not help you.. y don't u understand that we r not talking about u :) the statistics r these companies bring tens of thousands here every year from one country, yes on H1 or L1, not to sponsor them for greencards, but arriving here with a dual intent visa that allows for greencard application is not such a casual opportunity and that's what I'm telling you is rarely available to the equally qualified non-retrogressed folks. Once here, those thousands transfer to these small/mid size companies u mentioned and choose to stay and apply for greencards even though they know that with their huge numbers current rules will make their greencard journey longer..
Yes adjusting the quota percentages should be on the table, but if these companies hurt you by creating a longer line than the quota allows, , then you should take issue with these companies before you take it at your fellow non-retrogressed immigrants.
You're confusing the cause-and-effect. The country quota laws were put in MUCH earlier than any offshoring companies started doing H1s. It might in fact be the opposite, meaning that these companies are hiring qualified people who weren't getting GCs.
And besides these companies are all software cos that came up in the last 10 yrs, why should that stupid rule affect any person in a non-software field?
Yes we know that the current rules make the journey longer. The point is that it is unfair and that's why we should start trying to change it!
Basically it is very difficult to understand another person's pain. Especially when you're set up to gain from it.
