Thanks for the update paskal.
It was just what i needed to make my mind...i am bored to death in this small town finishing my waiver hoping for this piece of legislation.( no hopes of my EB2 anyway:rolleyes:).
Thanks Paskal for letting everyone know the update. IV was a co-signatory with other medical advocacy groups to the letter for pushing Physician's provisions. Please contact Paskal if you wish to join the effort.
There are lot of doctors who are unaware about this and what they can do together to end their long wait. I have met some of them myself and talked about IV and its efforts for doctors. They joined IV effort but the doctor community by and large is still unaware of this effort and scattered.

CIR is dead and DOS is trying to revise its VB. these two are good news from some aspects. They will help us to concentrate our focus on strategy. Here are some of my suggestions:
1) We may have limited power to speak out alone. But we can unify all groups, parties or sources which will benefit our strategy, such like business group, AILA/AILF, Ombudsman of USCIS, some media reporters and capitol hill insiders.
2) Short term strategy - To revise petition process
a) I/140 and I/485 are the continous steps of the process for imigration petition. Right now. they are broken by VB. Applicants with approved I140 should file petition right away.
b) Following Ombudsman's suggestion included in his 2007 report, we shall suggest that the visa number shall be issued within 180 days of the processing window regardless the visa number availability and conclusion of the name check. The procedure chance will significantly improve the VB predition and limit the waste of visa numbers or revision of the VB during the middle of the month.
c) Started with new fees, the application of I-485 will be a package including AP and EAD. The renewal of AP and EAD will be removed during the pending of I-485. Then following the suggestion b, we shall request USCIS to provide a case process report after 180 days indicating the status of the process if it can not be concluded within 180 days.( reasons maybe name check or visa availability). Furthermore, USCIS shall have temporary green cards for the applicants whose applications have been approved but the green cards could not be issued due to other reasons as mentioned above. and teh temporary green cards shall be renewed peroidically or be replaced by formal cards if everything is clear.
d) name check shall be concluded within a reasonable time window. Otherwise name check won't be a sense. Generally speaking, people with a longer history will take more time to complete the process and people with all documentations will take more time to complete it compared with illegal ones since they don't have any records at FBI. Also validation will be questioned if the process takes too long. If the process takes three years, so how to make sure that there is nothing during these three years? Also most of us report our status faithfully, have inspections when re-entering the states.
e) In order to avoiding wasting visas, USCIS shall have some time to complete the previous year's visa left-over, such as first 2 monthes.
3) Long term strategy- flexible visa cap according to market requirements

The government published pay that an LCA is evaluated against is usually lesser than the actual pay for that type of job in a region.
If your LCA was filed with a salary that is right on the number, you would be in trouble.
If there is wiggle room, you ought to be OK as long as the new salary is still more than the published LCA.
We are all used to getting raises and bonuses at the end of the year.
But these are very bad times; some cuts at this time are a harsh reality for businesses. But I think it is better for everyone in the company to take a small $ pay cut if it saves others within the company their job.
If your employer is only cutting your salary, that is a bad situation to be in. You should try and get out of there ASAP.
But if it is across the board, more than likely they will restore as soon as things get better.

To present our case, we need facts. Like for example
-Drop in admissions/applications/exams for US universities
http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/senate/news/source/intnl.grads.pdf cites "constraints on visas and immigration" are among the reasons for the decline
http://www.usatoday.com/printedition/news/20060106/a_students06.art.htm says "Rising U.S. tuitions, increased tension between much of the world and the United States and post-9/11-related immigration issues have all fed a decline in foreign student enrollment. So, too, has heightened competition from the rest of the developed world"
http://www.aascu.org/policy_matters/pdf/v2n11.pdf also supports that on page 3
-Number of people on H1-B buying homes
http://www.census.gov/prod/3/98pubs/cenbr974.pdf
-Evidence showing H1-Bs earn similar salaries/hourly rates, as rest of the industry
http://judiciary.senate.gov/testimony.cfm?id=913&wit_id=475
It is hard to determine the impact of H-1B workers on comparable U.S. workers. The only comprehensive effort to date, conducted in 2000 by the National Research Council of the National Academy of Sciences, concluded that the magnitude of any effect the H-1B program has on wages is difficult to estimate with confidence. The report noted that the effect, if any, may not be to depress wages and employment opportunities for U.S. workers but rather to keep wages from rising as rapidly as they would if the program did not exist. Another study in 2001 similarly concluded that if the H-1B program has any effect on comparable U.S. workers, the effect must be subtle because it does not appear immediately in the data.
-Age Pattern of the Science and Engineering Labor Force
http://www.nsf.gov/statistics/seind04/c3/c3s3.htm#c3s3l1a Absent changes in degree production, retirement patterns, or immigration, the number of S&E-trained workers in the labor force will continue to grow for some time, but the growth rate may slow significantly as a dramatically greater proportion of the S&E labor force reaches traditional retirement age. As the growth rate slows, the average age of the S&E labor force will increase.
And later "Taken together, these factors suggest a slower-growing and older S&E labor force. Both trends would be accentuated if either new degree production were to drop or immigration to slow, both concerns raised by a recent report of the Committee on Education and Human Resources Task Force on National Workforce "
I am also trying to gather information about the points given below
- Number of H1-Bs becoming US citizens (when given a chance)
_________
- A $$ amount of value addition of H1-Bs to the US economy
_________
- Number of children that are US citizens from H1-B families.
_________
Any help in pointing to any articles etc that you may have come across is good. Please keep in mind that these studies should have stats in them and should be recent material
Thanks

I disagree...I think our next steps should be letters/webfaxes/phone calls to senators and Congressmen/women.
The reason why the flower protest news gained some legs was because it was unique. Lets not over do things. Now that we have somewhat of the media coverage, especially in NY times & Washington Post, we should write letters to senators/congress and request assistance.

I'm not sure what made you decide for CP. There maybe valid reasons or you maybe misguided.
I have heard some people use the CP route thinking that once the dates get current, they will get Green Card faster than AOS route. Some people use it as a back-up. But I am not sure what made you opt for this if you knew you will deny yourself EAD and AP benefits.
I was misguided.
But what about people with PD as early as 2002/2003? Or do we not have anyone with PD 2002/2003 who are pursuing CP?
I assume there could be 10 to 15% CP filers out of total, say, 400K pending 485 cases. So, between 40 to 50k CP filers. Not sure how many out of this would be India/China. Is this number not big enough for asking for some admin fix?
I know EAD is not for CP filers today. I also believe EAD is one of the things that USCIS can issue with an admin fix.
If DOS/USCIS know very well that this retrogression is gonna be there for the next 5-10 years and EB3 I have to wait for 10-15 years, does it not make sense to ask for a relief like EAD for CP filers?

I have got the A#. Thanks guys..
is this the number same even to my 140? I guess this number is assigned at the 140 stage.
so if i give a call to USCIS and ask the status by giving the A# will they tell me the 140 status.
With the A# they can pull up your record (which should in theory include all your applications)...
Will they give you your 140 status?
Answer: You will find out when you call 'em up :)

So is it safe to assume that the extended H1B will not get invalidated even though the basis of extension was approved I-140 + pending I-485 and later the I-485 got denied.
Going to the original question. The H1B doesnt get invalidated.
The rules and available interpretations and memos talks only about the condition to "grant the extension". No where it mentioned a condition to invalidate an already granted extension.

Check processing times online for your service center.
I believe Nebraska Service Center is processing the July 2, 2007 receipt dates so you should be seeing it soon.
If you are travelling you can also contact the local service center and talk to the director over there regarding this to explain your case (but I doubt this will help too much without a good reason)
Hang in there (I am right there will you).

Brasil,
You should contact your local Congressman and Senator ASAP.
Seeing that you are a legal immigrant paying taxes and being put thru obstacles, they should surely be willing to help you out.
Getting the driver's license is not the problem, I know it will come. Problem here is why I cannot drive outside SC for up to 60 days waiting for the DL card? Remember I've to surrender my old SC license. This is serious limitation to my work, e.g. I need to go to Atlanta on 08/19 and I cannot drive there.
In September I will go to Italy, what if I don�t get my DL till then?
And you say �Not sure why you thought of it as being punished�
This is ridiculous

Who is forcing you to read a thread? If you want to read something specific to your interest, there is a nice website I found recently. It is called 'Google'. All you have to do is type a keyword and Google will give you back thousands of websites of your interest for free. Isn't this amazing?

They are already against us and shouting on top of their lungs "SLUMDOG" for the reason that cowards and scared and suppressed people like you never gonna do anything.
The same attitude like yours actually made us slaves for many more years, instead would have got the freedom long long time back.
Next time when your tail is between your legs , do not try to make suggestions.
Average American is not calling anyone slumdog. But Average American guy would be angry if he thought guest worker was saying they work harder than lazy Americans. So to say or spread this idea is not helpful to anybodys goals as CIR needs support from American citizens who will not like being thought of as lazy or not working hard.

No change in address since 2002..
Yes. Printed the status of pending with timestamp.. I just checked case tracking website and still shows pending.
The biggest frustration is we have lost 2 years due to lack of information.
Would contacting IO using InfoPass be a issue here? My attorney does not want to contact IO, as he is afraid that might confuse the case..
