This is my first post in this forum, only because I am seeing this Fragomen thread. I had a very bad experience, while working with a 'so called "reputed" India's largest software company' . Fragomen handled my L1 extension for this company, there was an RFE on a simple matter, but they took the whole time provided in RFE deadline to respond to the RFE. Finally when they responded, they responded to USCIS with the supporting documentation of some other employee. USCIS immediately denied my L1 extension petition, and I had to pack up and leave the country in a gap of 1 week. This Fragomen lawyers or paralegals have no concern or not even rendered an apology on this fiasco.

I read and understood the whole paragraph with both "published" and "Hidden" messages what you wanted to convey. If you do not see much activity on your state forums, why do not you take the lead to reverse the course? That would be the right direction rather than suggesting to change the skeleton. Do you blame yourself (Since you are claiming yourself a member)for not having much activity in your state level? If not then problem lies there and that is my hint to you.
Walking_Dude messages makes sense. And I guess you should take them as constructive criticism. Ofcourse agreed he could take the lead for his state chapter. However, not every can become a leader like you.

I highly recommend Jessie Ho in Cupertino, CA. www.jessieho.com.
She responds to email/phone very reasonably (about an hour via email and 99% of the time answers phone). She worked over weekend to file I485.
She went out of her way to even pay USCIS filing fees from her pocket as there was a delay in processing compnay check. How many of your Lawyers will do that?

What is good about it. How will this decrease our current backlogs. This is an amendment to change the merit based system, not solve the current backlog problem.
We cannot judge at this point in time what the final bill is going to be like.
If the merit based system after passage of the bill seem more lucrative then many will re apply under this system and we come back to square one - i.e backlogs
We have to get out of the current problem which will solve a lot of problems.
I hope this amendment will pass as it was proposed by important senators like, Chairman of Judiciary committee Mr Leahy, Mr Cornyn, Mr Hatch. This alters the equation completely. If it passes, the total EB & Merit based visas are 387,000. The total EB visas as per old system will be 230K.
Merit based system: 247K (147 for newly created point based +90 K to clear backlogs)
Employer Sponsored System (as per amendment) = 140K
Therefore 230K is available as per old EB system. Apart from that, most of the EB1 and EB2 guys and the dependents of EB visa holders will be exempted from numerical limitations. This is the proposal we should support.

I hope you are right.
Thanks to people with your mentality, nobody reacted - if such awareness was ever able to trigger action - against the 245(i) amnesty and that is one of the reasons why you are stuck. Keep up with your rose mentality if that makes you feel good.
Regards,
The Ombudsman
:D Where have we heard this before.
To any member who has been looking at some of the posts since April/May of this year it will be apparant that there has been an attempt by the ultra conservative, anti-immigration groups to create a divide among legal and so called illegal immigration issues. It was good to see that most members perceived this and stayed away from singing the legal vs illegal immigration tune.
Now comes the lame attempt to play on your fears again. What would happen to you if all these so called "illegals" were to get in line ahead of you? The knee-jerk reaction is so obvious. If you see deeper, you will find that all this is BS and just wenting of frustration by the anti-immigration groups. There is a precedent for this behaviour. After the CIR was passed in Senate in May earlier this year, these same anti-immigration group members posted so many inflamatory posts that created a bad vibe on this forum. Well today is a redo of that. Just count the number of posts and you will know what I mean. ;) I urge all members to look at the new ray of hope provided by the change in the new congress and ignore attempts to dampen your enthusiasm in garb of fair and balanced aka an anti-immigration spin :)

Again, Thanks a bunch Desi3933. My case is pretty much same as 'Scenario 1' in this Murthy document.
Desi3933 cleared the 99% of the cloud surrounded this issue by pointing to murthy.com (I maintained valid status with 'Employer #2' and this doc says I am good to go). Thank you very much Desi3933.
Apologize for extending the topic....but one of the 'still open' question is what if the Second Employer H1B is 'NEW' and what if it is 'Transfer'.
Murthy document does not say about the Company B H1B is NEW or TRANSFERRED.
If New H1B and Transferred H1B are same....then problem is solved.
Many of you here said both are same. I assume so too. But, we haven't proved Gapala is wrong yet (no hard feelings gapala. it is not my intention to hurt you). if 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are different, Murthy should have mentioned in her Document, but she did not do that. So, can we safely assume, that 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are same.
Thank you everyone who responding to my post.
Come on man....there is nothing called transfer. Every H1B is new. Only thing is its not counted against the cap when you change the employer.

Hi Caliber
IV is fighting for all EB Categories including H1Bs. When we went to the congressmen and senators this week we never brought up EB2 or EB3 we said all EB is facing backlogs .
As i had said in my previous posts, we all need to rise up to the occation and raise our voice through IV . That is the only solution to all our problems. we need to be united and come forward to attend these events and raise funds .
There are a lot of groups jockying for the Green cards on capitol hill for their interest groups . they are even lobbing for the recaptured visas and quotas etc.. Unless we EB people rise up and make our voices heard, nothing is gong to happen. please come forword and spread the word to your friends to support IV both by participation and financially . even donating 10 dollars a month goes a long way for our cause.
we are 45k Members in IV . But donors are only 10% i heard. that is disappointing paercentage for the high skilled category. Think about it this way . we did not eat one day in a month in a restaurant and instead contributed for a worthy cause which will benifit all of us.
IV has a lot of goodwill among most of the lawmakers. That is because of the sincere efforts putin by the core for advocating our cause. Guys believe me there are a lot of honest people in IV core and IV members who will make efficient use of the financial resources to maximise the bang for the buck. ( I have seen first hand how carefully the money is used during the advocasy days this week in DC ) .
I would also like to point out that Not every time IV will be successfull in blocking an unfavourable amendment or bringing up support for a perticular issue . some times we have to givein to the more stronger groups . thats just how the business is done in DC . it is all based on the deal making in the offices on the hill. we should not be discouraged by the set backs when they happen. We need to be united and fight for our cause.
Hope i have made it clear to all how important is to participate and contribute to IV for our cause.
Thanks
Kartik, as long as we, the EB3 do not come forward and collect huge amount for lobbying, we will continue to lurk here for many more years.
Unfortunately the sad part is, whatever lobbying is done actually helped only EB2 I, may be due to a wrong notion by USCIS that all Hi-tech immigrants are EB2. This could be a fact as there are thousands of 245 cases that fell into EB3.
Another bad thing was that USCIS release this VB yesterday which means one extra day to CRY.
I do not blame any one, but ourselves. We do not want to spend money and hence dying in this process. No solution, but cry at every VB day.

I had been there in US for 7 yrs (3 yrs in L2->1yr out of US->4 Yrs in H1B). Saw the myths and tragedy of US GC process very closely. Didn't want to spoil peace of life and my hard earned money with USCIS and lawyers:mad:. Didn�t look at the US GC application and applied for Canadian PR. Came to Canada with PR last year from US. Peacefully settled in Toronto with nice job and benefits, bought my brand new car 4 months back. Nice and friendly people and government. Happy to be in Canada. No more stamping issues, tons of junk paper works, consulate visit PA and wired look from immigration officers at POE�. enough�. I am not going back to US even for a visit in next 5 yrs..�
But I can go out of Canada and enter any time and as many time as I want. Can you do that too???? :D
To those who are portraying wrong picture of Canada, all I can say, if you have skills, personality and capability, you�ll succeed anywhere in this world, be it in US, Canada or Australia. Don�t blame it on a country, but look at yourself.
Just my 2 cents.
Hello PAL, You are 100% right - here is my full support to your argument !!

Thanks BornConfused. Does this mean that we might get our GC approved between now and September 30, 2007 because the visa numbers have been allotted to us?
I will wait for your update. Thanks again.
According to the first guy I talked to, one has already been assigned upon the start of processing of the case.
I just called again and the lady was completely clueless about the whole July 2 fiasco. I will try again in another hour and hopefully I won't get the village idiot again.
For anyone interested in calling themselves here is the info: 1-800-375-5283 options 1, 2, 3 (and possibly 6 after that-I can't remember).

Dems winning the house is definitely a good news. Senate was always favorable to us. It was "majority of the majority" in the house that was totally against any kind of relief barring something for nurses. Most of the IV members know the retrogression story SR1932 onwards. But six months before that senate had approved relief for all EB categories under Tsunami Relief Act And the republican lobby in the house restricted it to nurses only. That was HR1268 of April 2005. You can refer to Murthy chat session of May 9, 2005 to read some info on this.
The presidential elections were just over then and primaries were not on the horizon for this congressional election. In short house republicans would have blocked any immigration relief; elections or not.
With Sensenbrenner and Hastret gone, at least now we have new people to deal with and we know they are more towards the center. We can now hope that our prayers would be answered.

I may not need to tell you this but you are dealing with most greedy, money making machine in US govt. System. This organization churned out 200K EAD last year in 1 week, just so that they don't have to issue 2 years EADs. This org. is rejecting I-485 to get $1000 MTR fees, they will not spare any chance to take money from your pocket. I would say Instead of asking them for the fee waiver and wait 3 months for their 'NO', just give them the 5K and move on...
While it may seem that USCIS/DOS does what it does for increasing their cash-flow, real reasons are just those applicable to any government organization. Their demand for $5K was just a thoughtless response, which may always be their first response to all such public requests. The fact is that, what is sought should already be available for their decison making. Case should be raised with Ombudsman, for bringing out inefficiency such as this, in regard to crucial information needed for determining monthly cut-off dates, and forecastings. Ombudsman's office loves information on such systematic poor govt operations.
