All I want to know is even today EB1 2008 gets his GC before 2001 EB3 and that is fair to everybody. But the minute EB2 got preference things have become unfair how is that?
There were simply two barriers put by CIS for EB GC one is EB Category (horizontal bar) and Country of birth (vertical bar) Now country of birth is something not in your hands where as EB category is something that you can change (acheive) its in your hands. Come one all of us if we study hard can qualify for EB1 but because of various reasons or circumstances we chose to be in EB2 or EB3 (people who crib about employers or any other reason know in their hearts that i they wanted to change they could have simply they decided to remain happy in what they got)
So instead of asking to mountain to come to mohammed people should take this news positively and see how they can benefit from it. The spill going to Eb3 ROW was not helping any one since there is no way one can change country of birth
Starving any particular queue badly does not help the throughput of any system .
I hope DOS will realise this and change their algorithm accordingly.
Each countries quota is equally divided among all EB categories, IMO, The spill overs also should be equally divided among all the EB categories.

Yes, I believe you are correct. If you've used the old fee structure in July 2007, you need to pay for EAD/AP renewal each time.

I don't like getting my ass kicked. Hence, I refuse to fly Air India.
Last time I flew that Airline (Boston - Heathrow - Mumbai):
1. The crew disembarked at Heathrow. The transit passengers were not allowed to disembark.
2. The crew shut off the heat/power and opened the Aircraft doors (yes, it was winter).
3. They sent the cleaning staff in to clean/vaccum the plane with a lot of passengers seated.
4. At Mumbai, the airhostess was in some sort of a hurry shoving the passengers so that she could disembark first.
I've never had such experiences with AF. They are not racist. Airlines are not allowed to issue transit visas and anyone who has lived in France can tell you how insensitive and lazy their bureaucracy is.
Bad flying experiences do not equate to racism. It is strong word to use and I do not think it applies to this case. Yes, I have seen French show racism towards Africans, but this is not one such case.
There is a reason why Indians are required to take a transit visa. Coz, in the past there have been Indians (at EU airports) who have claimed that they have lost their memory, do not remember who they are, don't have any ID and hence qualify for asylum on medical grounds. Now these gov'ts are requiring ALL Indians to have a transit visa so that if anyone pulls such antics, they have all the information that they need to identify the individual and deport. Some bad apples have f&^%ed it up for all of us.
BR
i'll take this as a joke.
comments like these only shows our attitude of "i like to get my a$$ kicked. Please feel free to take a dig"
on a serious note, you know that you have other choices right????

Top 5 Concerns Regarding Employment-Based Immigration in Senate Bill
1. Decimation of Employment-Based Immigration System: � Eliminates first, second, and third employment-based immigration categories. � �Merit-based" point system completely disconnects employment-based immigration from employers, who have only a negligible role in new system and are unable to sponsor specific employees for permanent residence. � No provisions for multinational managers, extraordinary ability aliens, outstanding professors or researchers. � No labor market test required to protect native-born workers. 2. Lack of Path to Permanent Status for Future Flow Essential and Highly Skilled Workers: � New Y temporary worker program would create a constantly churning workforce, as it provides only a two-year nonimmigrant visa and requires workers to leave the U.S. for one year before being eligible to renew their work visa for a subsequent 2-year period. Maximum 6 years in Y status. � Carve-out of 10,000 green cards per year for "essential" Y workers, but no bridge to allow essential and highly skilled but non-degreed workers a path to eventual permanent lawful status. 3. Lack of Adequate Numbers of Future Green Cards for Employment-Based Immigrants: � Totally inadequate immigrant visa numbers (approximately 140,000 new green cards per year until the family backlogs are cleared over an 8 year period). � Future legal immigration program (after 8 years of family backlog clearance) limited to 380,000 �point system� visas, guaranteeing that new backlogs will grow immediately, and that undocumented immigration will continue. � Totally inadequate carve-outs for essential workers. 4. Gaps in Green Card Availability � Immigrant visa petitions filed after May 15, 2007 on the basis of the current employment-based preference system will be rejected. � During the period between May 15, 2007 and the date the new merit based system is up and running (likely October 1, 2008), no new employment-based green card applications can be filed. 5. Decimation of H-1B Program: � Adds new restrictions prohibiting employers from obtaining H-1B workers where formal degrees do not exactly correlate to proposed positions.
� Eliminates dual intent for both H-1B and L non-immigrants. This would interfere with companies� ability to recruit someone from a U.S. university and seek a green card for them while employing them on an H-1B. � Overregulates legitimate H-1B employers by subjecting all H-1B employers to burdensome rules currently applied to �willful violators� and H-1B dependent employers. � Huge increase in H-1B fees (from current $1500 to new $5000 by Sanders amendment) o Will force companies to move projects and U.S. jobs to overseas facilities, and will make it all but impossible for many businesses to stay competitive. o Will inflict disproportionate pain on small firms and American innovators. o Additional fees for filing, premium processing, recruitment and training, antifraud, compliance and other legal and administrative costs can amount to $9,000 just to secure initial H-1B approval. o H-1B employers already contribute more than $127.5 million per year to U.S. job training and scholarships through existing fees. This training and scholarship fund would go up to over $200 million per year even if the H-1B cap were only raised to 115,000, as currently proposed. o Scholarship and training fees U.S. companies now pay for each H-1B professional hired are approaching $2 billion since 1999. o These fees have funded more than 40,000 scholarships for U.S. students in math and science through the National Science Foundation, hands-on science programs for 80,000 middle and high school students and 3,700 teachers, and training for more than 55,000 U.S. workers and professionals. o U.S. businesses pay over $91 billion a year in state and local taxes directed toward public education. o Increased H-1B fees are nothing more than a tax on innovation that will end up driving U.S. jobs overseas by making it more difficult to hire the highly educated talent America needs. � American professionals in "computer and mathematical" occupations are at virtual full employment, with a low annual unemployment rate of 2.4 percent in 2006. Cutting off the supply of H-1B talent will only hurt American competitiveness. � The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects growth of 100,000 jobs a year in computer and math science occupations between 2004 and 2014, the highest of all white collar professional categories. Note Re: Possible Amendments:
Cantwell Amendment (#1249) One amendment that has been �filed,� but is not currently �pending� is the Cantwell amendment which is very important to business immigration interests. We do not know at this time what will happen with this amendment � whether it will come to the floor for debate or be negotiated through unanimous consent into the final package. Nevertheless,
it is important to let senators know that this amendment is strongly supported by businesses. The Cantwell amendment would set up a parallel and complementary employer-sponsored merit-based program. This �employer-sponsored� stream would let companies determine the skill sets that they need and would like to sponsor for a green card and this employer-sponsored merit based system would provide 140,000 visas separate and in addition to those currently in the bill. This amendment would protect U.S. workers by applying labor market tests to employer sponsorship of foreign workers. In addition to dealing with employment-based green cards, this amendment also addresses some of the �grand bargain�s� changes to the H-1B program by striking the presumption of �immigrant intent� and restoring the �degree equivalency� provision. Furthermore, the amendment, while maintaining the provisions to strengthen H-1B enforcement in the bill, would eliminate overregulation of legitimate H-1B employers by striking provisions that would require every employer comply with burdensome rules that currently apply only to �willful violators� and to employers with excessive numbers of H-1B employees.
Durbin-Grassley Amendment (#1231) There will also possibly be a vote on a Durbin-Grassley amendment. The amendment would strike provisions in the bill that allow the Secretary of Labor to determine whether or not there is a shortage of U.S. workers in the occupation and area of intended employment for which a Y nonimmigrant is sought. This amendment would require employers to follow extensive hiring and recruitment procedures even in areas where there labor shortages as determined by the Secretary of Labor.

Please check with your lawyer but as per my understanding, your wife needs to be in 'status' to be added as a dependent on the 485. She doesn't have to get on an H4 to be added as a dependent. Since she is on F1, she is already in 'status'.
Hello All:
It is great that the dates have become current and many of our friends here at IV can apply for 485. Congratualtions!!! to all that can apply.
I am in a dilemma and don�t know what to do:
My LC has been approved PR 02/10/05
My I-140 is pending.
I know I can file for 485 but my wife is on F1 � OPT and is working she has applied for a H1 and will get it because of Master�s quota but will not be effective till October, 2007. Can I file 485 now even though she is on F1?
I have two choices, either wait till October 2007 or cancel the H1 go to Mexico and get a H4 stamp for my wife and apply for 485. Please advise what I should do. Thanks!!!

They don't allow unpaid Commercial Advertising on these sites. Posting IV flyers can be construed as Commercial, even though IV itself is non-profit. I don't want them to ban my IP!
I think the best approach is to provide links to IV posts/forums, to drive the traffic here.
Flyers are ready - we can post flyers

Prince charming - I invoked AC21 sometime back after 180 days of filing 485 and moved to a new job on EAD.
My ex employer revoked 140. At this point of time I did a lot of research and found out the following things
(1) AC21 letter never reaches your file - there is no system in place for AC21 letter. G 28 gets into the system because there is a process in place for G 28
AC21 is a law that allows you to change jobs but there is no system in place.
(2) AC21 letter must be provided upon request - different officers want differtent information so they generally issue a NOID and ask you to submit evidence in 30 days. USCIS in some cases sends out straight denials. The denial letter generally has information to file MTR within 30 days if the case needs to be reopened due to USCIS error.
In August when my case was being processed, they sent me a NOID but sent my wife Fp notice - I called customer service and was advised that she can go for FP as usual but I have to respond to NOID before they move forward with my case and I promptly responded with AC21 and my case status changed to "Case reopened, response received" and there were soft LUDs hitting my 485.
Keep all documentation ready and be proactive, you can hire a good lawyer from MTR, remember that when you file for MTR, you cannot work - so before you inform your employer, get a letter from them and then inform them - in case employers will be reluctant to give any documentation if they know you cannot work for sometime. If you are on h1b you dont have to worry.
MTR approvals can take 3 to 5 weeks or more too.
if not on h1b you start accruing unlawful status and usually lawyers suggest that you stay till less than 180 days when your MTR is filed - it never takes 180 days for a decision on MTR so dont worry about unlawful status.
These are hidden risks in AC21 but good news is that AC21 cases have always been successful.
You may have to go through this period of uncertainity.
Good luck.

Exactly my thoughts - we should try our level best to get one of these bills passed (Specter or Frist) with our clauses in it.
1. AC 21 clause reinstated or atleast have a fair distribution policy
2. I485 filing after a certain wait time.
If none of these bills pass this year, there is a chance we will be stuck for a long time in BEC/140 stage.

It depends on the occupation, obviously for a welder or cook level II will be pretty low. For say a mechanical or electrical engineer or physicist - entry-level position requiring a MS degree the max level will be level II.
For positions requiring PhD or MS+experience it will be Level III or IV.
In conclusion, an applicant for such a position can be classified as EB2 even if wage is at Level II.
Level I can never be EB2.
To get the most accurate information, pls filter only Level I and occupations like cooks, welders, technicians. USCIS has been reluctant to approve EB2 for "computer programmers", they have approved EB2 for other advanced computer-related professions

I doubt if the house is going to toe the senate line on the CIR. The new bill that has been introduced in the House is seen as a rebuke to Bush, directly contradicting the Senate version. I think this CIR will be killed in the house if it somehow passes the Senate.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-immig20jun20,0,3608273.story?coll=la-home-center
House minority (Repub) has very little power to block anything. In the Senate, one Senator can hold the proceedings ("filibuster") and kill the entire legislation. That's why they often talk about a filubuster-proof majority in the Senate. House members have no such powers.
In the house the majority party determines just about everything. However, since some moderate dems may not support the immig bill they do need some repub votes even to attain a simple majority to pass the bill. They may try to add more restrictrictive provisions against illegals to get some repub votes.
Eventually , the extreme right wing in the house is likely to go down kicking and screaming.
Unlike many members here I'm not that pessimistic about our chances in the house since the Chairman of the House Immig sub-comittee Zoe Lofgren is pro-immigrant.
