The other day, three guys, a Pakistani, an Indian, and a Czech, and one Serb girl (originally from the beautiful city of Belgrade) met the staff of their American lawmakers, to tell them about the problems faced by the EB-immigrant community due to backlogs and insanely low visa numbers for EB-greencards.
You can't get more American than this.
My experience with the meetings with the lawmakers' staff has been very positive. I approached it with nervousness; however, the staff has ALWAYS been extremely polite, sincere and encouraging. They listen to us, and engage in meaningful discussions and question answer sessions with us. Quite often, we are told that this was the first time that our point of view was being told to them. We ask them what advice they have for us. And they all ALWAYS tell us to (a) talk to other lawmakers and (b) call them frequently, as they provide daily totals and tallys on pro-vs-anti calls on different issues to their bosses.
So folks. We still have time. We have a few weeks. Please (a) join together and form state chapters, (b) educate yourself, (c) call the lawmakers offices (d) meet the lawmakers and (e) do all this within the next few days.
Too often we take a fatalistic approach towards issues. Other times, nervousness and fear renders us incapacitated. Be proud of the fact that we are a diverse group of high-skilled immigrants. We are educated professionals. We are doctors, engineers, scientists, and other professionals.
It is our duty, as intelligent and educated professionals, to tell the lawmakers that we are facing problems, and to request them to fix those problems, since they have the power to do so.

That remains to be seen. Congress cannot act in a mere speculation that there will be spierce competition between EU and US on skilled labor. US still attracts a lot of foreign skills. Increasing the number is not always seen as a solution but streamlining is or efficiency in adjudication is.
Anothe problem is that US thought it is adding more into the work force everyyear by giving out immigrant visas (EB). This is wrong because most of the applicants are already in the workforce under H1B and their dependents. What EB visas do was to retain these foreign skills by giving them permanent residence status. Therefore, EB visas are there not to add into the workforce but to maintain the current workforce.
The real visas for adding into the workforce is the H1B, which is temporary and only 65,000 per year which in a week time was used up.

As far as I know, there is no grace period. USCIS may choose to ignore a reasonable gap or may approve without I-94. Dont worry about that for now. Talk to friends/family and others and just find someone to sponsor. But if you are not able to find someone to sponsor even after few weeks, you will have to leave US. Sorry mate and Best of Luck.. just be quick and you will fine

Hi,
My I-485 AOS thru my Husband's I-140 is pending right now.
Recently My sister's Approved I-130's priority date is Current, So now I Can file for AOS thru my Sister's I-130 also.
My question is :
Which is better Interfile or new filling ?
What are the advantages and dis-advantages of both ?
If I go for Interfiling and If My Application is not approved thur one track (I-130 / I-140) will my application be pending for another track ?
Thanks

Group,
This morning I saw a commercial (California Group Blames Immigrants for Climate Change) (http://www.triplepundit.com/2009/11/california-group-blames-immigrants-for-climate-change/)on the local Bay Area channel and was simply surprised, I mean out of words surprised.
I cannot believe how low these anti-immigrant groups can and will go to push their point, which obviously is nothing but full of BS, but it certainly adds fuel to the fire.
fueling the fire, but they better make sure the fire drivesoff the right monsters , the illegals.

I am in the exact same situation. I have already filed I-140/I-485 concurrently with the substituted labor. Now the dates are current I am filling another I-485 with my approved I-140. There is nothing wrong in what we are doing, as long we explain about the earlier filling and clarify the motive of the second filling. Eventually we should withdraw one of the two based on the outcome of substituted labor/I-140.

This was a complete and total screw up on my part (I forgot my flash was on) but after looking at it for a while....I kind of like it. Somehow, it works (to me anyway)...I should inform you that a few people I've shown this to from school think I'm either crazy or possibly going blind because I like it.

Friends;
I am posting this on behalf of my friend who is on H1 (6th year expiring in Dec, 2011). His labor is yet to be filed and in this connection we have a question. Process has been initiated by employer and tentatively labor will be filed in June, 2011. Hoping that he will be done with labor or I-140 by November would he be eligible for 7th year H1 extension?
Thanks
Venu

Mine shows this lightly under some conditions. It's not been a major problem for me, unlike what some overly vocal folks at another forum would like everyone to think, but I'll probably send it in to have it calibrated anyway.

Based on these reasons:
1. EB legals doesn't really count when it comes to the consideration. For one, the numbers that are suffering are too small; for two, what you go through is nothing in the eye of Kennedy's --- you have a job, you have enough food, you are not dying in the desert....you are having a pretty decent life, except that you wanted more;
2. Senators like Sessions can still argue that "so many legal people are waiting in the line", because you are indeed still waiting even though you can now file 485. So allow you to file doesn't really change their argument;
3. What makes you think that if you shut up they are going to have a easy day? It's not like that you have any teeth to bite any way.
So the PD moves forward is definitely a good thing regardless how CIR plays out.
Mark my words.... President Bush will single handedly make sure to pass the bill as it is.....
No one can stop it.
Do you all think it is just a co incidense that all the dates became current just when this bill (which was supposed to be in grave :rolleyes: ) is revived by those who extremely opposed it?
Do you know how many people will stop giving a damn, because they just filed their 485 s?
People like me who are result of bad practice employers are still here, and lucky ones will depart.....
We have been dealt a crucial blow here.

Hi,
I have been filed in EB2 with a priority date of Feb 26 2007.
What you guys think about the possibility of my PD getting current this year?
I know that it needs a crystal ball to predict such horrendun things like PD movement, but I am just trying to get a poll on the general feeling about the spillover this year.
Thanks in advance.
You can check out the EB3-EB2 calculations thread. You have a decent chance of getting your GC by September 2011 based on the predictions there.
