I think Both Sen.Obama and Sen.McCain are interested in legal Immigration. Mitt Romney was a big Advocate of legal Immigration. But of course, these are not the priority Items for both the candidates and also have to reassure the citizens that they will create new Jobs. Both of their plans will not affect Outsourcing
Sen. Obama Proposes to end the tax breaks for companies who outsource their work to other countries. This will not have any Significant effect on Outsourcing, as companies save much more by outsourcing , than tax breaks.
Sen. McCain already said that the lost jobs are lost, he will invest in re-training the workforce and find new areas of employment which cannot be outsourced.
I dont expect this Question to be heard in the forthcoming debates , as this Question was asked since the interview was conducted in Columbia Univ( University who supports EB Immigration)
Seriously...both r of no use as far as legal immigration is concerned

There are two ways to react once you are not getting any result .
1. Do not do anything and blame others . Proclaim your leadership inabilities and hope a new avatar will come to save you . ( May be Lord Vishnu can take his final incarnation and save us , let us chant and pray :-)
2. Do something like say contribute and spread the message .
One will care about IV only if there are valid business reasons for doing so . Lots of my colleagues does not care about IV because they do not care about retrogression , reasons are ,
A)They may buy pre approved labor and get away with it .
B)Their spouse also work ( on h1b in IT or on h4 in sabji mandi ). Their spouse is a home maker and do not intend to work.
C)They are simply saving money to go back to india and does not want a GC.
Now even if you are impacted by retrogression still you may dream that in the dream land of USA one fine day congress will wipe out your worries . That indeed may party happen but still the legislature may pass something which can screw up the situation more , like say enforcing hard cap on the per country quota .
So it may make sense to help IV and not leave everything on luck or congress .
But above all rationale there is the warm fuzzy desi feeling of getting things free when people of IV are slogging , so no wonder people do not help IV , desi mentality rules :-)

AILA now feels defeated because they could not show themselves as the protector of this community. If you see the lawsuit text by AILF, it clearly asks for money for lawyer fees, but does not asks for moeny for Medical exam and mental agony. So if you are going to trust your lawyers to help you, then good luck.
By the way, your Indian lawyer I dont know the name, sued DOL once and lost.
IV alone did not win the battle alone, it took the concerted efforts of IV and other organizations including AILA and the threat of the AILF lawsuit to get DOS and USCIS to relent and reverse their decision.
It obvious you misunderstood the purpose of the AILF lawsuit. Why file a lawsuit seeking injunctive relief to allow plaintiffs to file and at the same time demand reimbursement of medical fees and compensation for mental agony (I doubt if there were any plaintiffs put on anti-depressants or therapy in those two weeks as a result of the decision). You can't have your cake and eat it, you either win the case to enable filing, or you sue for damages incurred as a result of the decision but then you have to forget about contesting the ability to file, I'm sure any sane individual will be glad to choose the former and in this case thats what the lawsuit reflects. If you have ever read any class action lawsuit, the lawyers always ask for costs of the suit, this is normal even in non class action lawsuits, the loosing party pays the prevailing party's costs!
In the prior lawsuit that was lost, it is clear that Rajiv said recently that such cases against the executive branch of government need to filed in other federal court circuits other than the DC one where it is likely they will not be inclined to frown when deciding against the executive. For the record, his lawsuit was not against the DOL.

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.

They have to do those work anyway. Because all the applications are not I-485 and also some ppl filed I-140 along with I-485. So, they do have to repackage those applications. Let us see,how events develops for couple of more days?.
I know and thats what I am worried about. I hope I get my packet back.
Now I wish I wouldn't have filed my 485 :mad:

Here are some steps to help you GET OFF YOUR BUTT!!
One Goal: Green Card Reform Rally
Find inspiration: Read about other's who have decided to join.
Get excited. Read as much about it as possible, and visualizing what it would be like to be successful (seeing the benefits of the goal in your head), get excited about the goal. Once you�ve done that, it�s just a matter of carrying that energy forward and keeping it going.
Build anticipation. Make it the most important date in your life.
Post your goal. Post it at home and work. Put it on your computer desktop.

Think about the benefits, not the difficulties. The benefits will help energize you.
Squash negative thoughts; replace them with positive ones. Squash, �This is too hard!� and replace it with, �I can do this!"
Tip: Google 'Get off your butt' and find more motivation.
Please think about the amount of effort that is going on to plan for this rally.
- The mental effort required to plan the logistics of such a huge event
- The physical energy required to make all this a possibility
- The amount of time the members working on this are sacrificing.. time that they could have spent with family or other gainful things

I have to admire the unbelievable energy and commitment of you guys. Especially those who organized the rally and to some extent those who attended it from far away are probably tired and catching their breath!
We need to have some creativity and strategy in our next step. Rally after rally probably is not the best way to get that, the so called law of diminishing returns. The flower protest for example gave us a lot of visibility and media coverage since it was something intriguing and new. It was fairly inexpensive and got us the kind of coverage we wanted and arguably results that were out of size with the effort.
I think we need to think outside the box and have one more high publicity event. Another rally is certainly an option for later should legislative action heat up. I'm hopeful the upcoming legislation will allow someone to introduce friendly legislation. I am sure IV's lobbying advisers will have some input on timing etc. and I am pretty sure organizations like compete America etc. also will use this to push their efforts as well. IV core ought to be in contact with them.
A few very important things came from this rally. Firstly, that we can organize such an event, in no small part due to such a committed and capable leadership team. We got fairly good media coverage in highly visible newspapers, that covered not just the event but also some of the issues facing us in clear detail. Finally the lobby day events were definitely very good. I was amazed that 150 meetings took place.
To put this in context, large national organizations of some professions have these lobby days sometimes, and they do well to get about 100 lawmaker meetings done.
One thing I wish to add is that we must develop a good way of sending out many letters at will/as per the strategy of IV core to the lawmakers at critical times. We are 23K strong. Surely we can get atleast as many letters sent in to lawmakers at critical times. If you can't send a written petition to a lawmaker then I doubt it makes any sense to even think you or anyone can alter your fate, in that case time spent on sites like this is for what reason?
Professional organizations do letter campaigns all the time and get a good response. If everyone moves on these issues it does create a splash and can bring visibility and attention.
All ideas should be collected here in this thread.

I think it is important to maintain diversity in the overall immigration. However the immigration law has never resulted in achieving diversity. In the period 1900-1910, immigrants came from Italy (22%), Austria (20%) and Russia (18%). In the 1950-1960 period Germany provided 20% of immigrants. In the 1991-2000 period Mexico provided almost 22% of immigrants. In the FY 2005, Mexico provided around 161,000 immigrants (around 17%) of immigrants. It is easy to fix a quota for those immigration categories where visa numbers are limited such as for employment. However spouses and minor children of naturalized citizens have no waiting period. So it will be very hard to control the immigration percentages based on country of origin unless there is a quota for US citizen spouses, and children of US citizens wantin to immigrate!
The problem here is that we don't have a country quota for foreign students and H1Bs. Thus when these people try to become permanent residents then the quota's are applied and that is the core problem. My take is that country quota should not be applied for employment based immigration. Employers should not be forced in to an affirmative action plan but rather hire the right person for the job.

I don't know if any one has noticed or would agree with me. But based on the numbers I feel USCIS is the real bottleneck in EB green card. They have somewhere around 250,000 EB visas available per year for the last severel years, but they were issuing only around 80,000 EB visas per year.
I bet they have only issued around 120,000 EB visas in the year 2006 (Oct 2005 - Sept 2006), even though the quota is around 250,000. (140,000 direct + 100,000 from family other category).
Unless we do something to fix this bottleneck, most of us are not going to see the GC. Even if the Congress raise the EB quote to 1 million per year with out any country quota, it all boils down to USCIS's usage of those available visas.
USCIS had given one week time to file for I-485 and then closed it. Later after the flower campaign they opened it up for a month. I mean to say, They had opened a small opening for us to get in. Now its our chance of how to get the opening bigger. We were successful by doing a flower campaign. We got to do more. The slot should be made more and more wider and should lead us to green card.

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.

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.
Actually I do have a convincing answer... whether or not that bill passes, we are in a lose-lose situation. I have read the bill (not in its entirety like I already stated). I know that the amnesty section already specified there will be no immediate granting of citizenship, excepting the wording for those who have been in this country for more than 5/6 years seems to imply they would get citizenship (again, the way a bill is worded can be twisted in future).
What I am worried about is, I get the feeling this is going to end up dipping into our EB3 pool... we previously had a Sched A for physicians and nurses that took numbers out of EB3 exclusively for them.
And I don't listen to Lou Dobbs or NumbersUSA rantings. But if you kept your ears open more than 6 months ago, you would also have heard some Dems says some not-so-friendly things about us.
One prominent Dem senator said H1-Bs are not suffering as much as illegals.
Another prominent Dem said this country needed more farm workers, not more IT / skilled ppl.
Have a nice day, anyway.

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.
