Hi Folks,
I just called the Lamar Smith's office and when I asked to speak with a person who handles immigration matters, the lady asked me if I am calling in support of Lofgren bills or not. When I said YES, she asked me where I am calling from. Nothing more. She know all the bills no. Its so simple.
All they are doing now is counting how many people are calling in support of the bill. So its time to call as many people as we can.

A good attorney should be able to get those who availed themselves of the AC21 opportunity free and clear in their green card journey. The law seems pretty clear on this to me.
This is clearly a big deal for much of the IV community, who are stuck in this process due to inadequate EB visas and inefficient immigration service center processing.
I believe this might end up needing a class action litigation (for violating AC21 law) and an immigration attorney could make a name for him/herself in the process of this case!
Witness Carl Shusterman's challenge of the USCIS's erroneous interpretation of physician NIW laws and his subsequent stature in the field.
If there are adequate numbers of you, which based on this thread there seem to be quite a few, then approaching a good lawyer to represent the group pro bono and getting this mess sorted out for good might be a consideration.
Any thoughts?

just fyi...it took fragomen 6 months just to start the recuitment process ...they are really slow. but they are quick in getting back to you on your day to day requests.
My company started the PERM process for me about 2.5 months ago. I contacted Fragomen about 1.5 months after approvals within the company and they said they are working on establishing min requirements for the position. I then contacted them 3 weeks after that day and they said they have established the requirement and will request the DOL for prevailing wage info (this was 2 weeks ago). After which they are going to start the recruitment process. So I'm not sure if the time line is okay or should I be chasing them more frequently? Please advise.

Nat

The option to file 485 after labor approval before priority dates become current is not present. It is not present in specter's bill either. It was present in S.1932 but current bills do not have that provision. I hope someone brings in an amendment to include this feature. This would help greatly for most of us.

First - EB2s stop replying posts that were written in frustration and you understand why, They will not affect and take away your GC. Since you are not frustrated you have to start first.
Second - EB3s - Frustration will never bring you anything and you can not move PD faster. Instead capatialize the situation that EB2s are getting GC. How you have to think and focus.
I can give my example. I made network of some who got GC and have some influence in recruiting. After working 9 years for a big Pharma and got layed off, My one buddy got GC long back in EB2 , helped me and received job through him though I have to drive 220miles everyday.
Am I frustrated yes!! More than anybody else here but has to calm down and think positivily.
Hope my post will help you to reduce some frustration.
I can understand the frustration among Eb3s. Honestly I do not want to aggravate their feelings. My only objection was for someone to generalize all Eb2s as being dishonest.

Your lawyer is lying.
Updates:
I got an email from my law firm, that my packet was refused to be accepted by USCIS.
I received the email from my law firm (Monday night - July 2) that:
Please note however your case was sent to Nebraska last night and did arrive - we tried!
Which means mine was sent or reached NSC sunday night or must have been hand delievered early Mon morning. Don't know exactly what happened. I just trust them!!!!
I didn't bother to ask my law firm further details. I will ping them first thing monday morning and try to give any update I get. I hope they have some proof of the refusal!!!!!!!............

With a due respect, I am differ with your statement on Competeamerica. Competeamerica has always promoted H1B and EB provision together. I haven't seen any time that they promoted only H1B.
I spoke with one guy at Competeamerica and he told me that IV is neutral on H1B issue eventhough all members have came through that root. Personally I am very positive with Competeamerica and it is not good for us to speak negative for this organization.
I know CA promotes both , but issue is whether they do that equally.
I have a feeling h1b is more on agenda.
Just that you belive what they are saying....either way u will see when h1b gets increased without eb reform.

if my previous company revoke my visa after the new copmany filed for the transfer will this be a reason for ins to deny my h1b transfer?
Once you get a receipt for your H1 transfer application you can start working for the new employer. From that point onwards your H1 application is linked to your new employer and no longer dependent on your old employer. I would suggest follow up with USCIS regarding your case.

latest from CNN:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush set out a new approach Wednesday in the wake of what he called a "thumping" for Republicans in the midterm elections.
Immigration and minimum wage measures are areas of common ground to discuss when he meets Democratic speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi later this week, he told reporters at the White House.

See so many ppl getting their EADs in 15-20 days. Mine was filed in first week of May at NSC, still no news. From the LUDs, it doesn't appear anyone has touched the applications yet.
Are these fast approvals only from TSC or there r ppl from NSC who see 15-20 day approvals?
so far almost all NSC approvals I have seen are >30 days. TSC is the one with the 2-3 week turnaround time! Even at I-140, mine sat on some shelf in NSC gathering dust for almost a year, while TSC was turning those around in a few months.

I have really had good experiences when i renewed my passport, my wifes passport and also when i applied for my childrens PIO card. On each ocassion the documents arrived before time and the service at the SFO consulate was great when i called them with a concern. On all 4 ocassions i use the $20 option to get the document by Fedex. We spend thousands on the recurring nightmare at USCIS, $20 for peace of mind is not a big deal.
I have also observed that we tend to get overly agressive when we talk to indian govt officials here. I think we expect bad service and we mentally prepare ourselves to fight. I am not saying that all do this but some of my friends did concur with the thought. There are many geuine cases where there is a problem, as some desi govt officers are sticklers for making sure that forms are in 'order'.:D

Hi all,
This discussion is very valuble for people like me deciding between living in Canada as PR vs H1B USA .We all know that salaries in USA are slightly better than Canada .But now the exchange rate is almost equal.
Salary:
Can a person with family(2 kids) survive in Canada with CAD 50,000 / year salary in a place like Toronto.? I heard in Canada you pay 13 % tax on anything you buy .Does 50 % of your income goes in taxes ?
HealthCare:
Also is the government sponsored health care good compared to USA .I mean do you have any wait to see specialists.Is healthcare comparable to USA .
Immigration:
In USA anyone can get a Greencard regardless of their qualifications and it depends how early you enter the GC queue.But looks like in Canada they value your educations and other qualifications.Can IT professionals (non-managers) apply for Canada PR without a job or canadian education?
Canadian Citizenship:
Many people want to get Canadian citizenship and return to USA with TN Visa .In future ,could USA put restrictions on this .?
Please share your thoughts .
Thankyou
Bharat,

H1 doesnt work as you are interpreting. OP was working for 'A' and had a valid H1. At some point of time, he got a job offer from X and had his H1 transferred to X. Even though his new H1 is approved, his old H1 is still valid. It is valid as long as OP doesnt join X. Since the OP never left A and never joined X, he was always in status. OP -> this should be a simple case. Since you have documentation to prove that you were in status always and since you never joined X , you dont have paystubs and that should be perfectly fine as long as you never left A.

HI RISKER I GOT FEW QUESTIONS. THESE QUESTIONS MAY WELL BE ASKED BY DEFENDATS(DOL) WHEN YOU FILE LAWSUIT.
1. WHY DIDNT YOU UPDATE TO PERM LABOR WHILE RETAINING PRIORITY DT
2. DID YOU CONSIDER RIR AND REGUALR CASES DIFFERENCES WHEN ARE SUEING FOR FIFO
3. DID YOU FIND PEOPLE FROM THE SAME COMPANY WITH DIFFERENT FILING DATES APPOVED NEW AHEAD OF OLD FILING DATE( THIS WOULD GIVE YOU A STRONG REASONING WHEN YOU WANT TO SUE). COMPANYS PROFILE CAN INFLUENCE A LOT ON DECISION MAKING EX.. MICROSOFT VS DESI COMPANY.
4. HOW MANY CASES YOU HAVE STUDIED FOR VIOLATION FIFO. COLLECT DATA FROM BEC APPROVED PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE STILL STUCK THERE.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE THE INJUSTICE DONE BY DOL. HEY BUT BEFORE JUMPING THE GUN GET YOUR AMMUNITION READY THEN CONTACT CORE AND THEN SEE FROM THERE.....
GOOD LUCK
Hi mallikonnet,
I THINK YOU CANT RETAIN THE PRIORITY DATE WHEN YOU APPLY FOR PERM.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE TRADITIONAL CASES HERE FOR FILING. SOME CASES FROM THE SAME EMPLOYER WITH PD 2005 ARE TAKEN BEFORE WITH PD 2003.

-> Ask them for 30 seconds of time to make your pitch
-> 2nd line should be that you are not pitching amway or quixstar, no offense to folks who engage in these businesses but most people assume that you are trying to catch them for one of these and run away
-> You should have a quick two liner which states why you need your help. You can say that you are a legal immigrant trying to petition President Bush to help improve the life of LEGAL immigrants. You just need to get the person to put their name and address and sign at bottom.
-> If they show further interest quickly run through the 6 points on the letter
-> Make sure you take permission from people whose places you are campaigning outside and make sure those have a heavy flow of legal immigrants
Hope this helps. Your hit rate with good traffic should be at least 20/hr.
Thanks Needhelp!
So I have trickled into 152 tonight. I thought I'd try my hand at campaigning at some local places and managed 3! It seemed a lot harder than I imagined, I think I need to work on my introduction and smile ;) All three folks looked scared and suspicious of me but atleast they signed! Not giving up hope though! I have some others in the works via some good friends and I am going to try and tap more immigration law firms in SF. I am still pledging 200 and hope for more!! Any tips on campaigning to strangers, and I will be set! Thanks guys.
Have a good eve all.
