I'm also EB2, BEC, PD Aug-2004. Still waiting from my GC.

I think industry and their senators alike will be happy with quota increases...waht they will try to strike out is the extra fees....($5000 now) and also the retrictions on recruitment / displacement policy, which will make H1B useless as it will take umpteen number of months to get an H1B approved.
This ammdt is still difficult to pass
BTW, I cannot find the text of this ammndt on Thomas.
http://www.thomas.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d110:26:./temp/~bdp3oO::|/bss/d110query.html|
I am sure that the tech lobbyist are going to change the rules applied to the H1-B process, because everyone knows the effect of this to the econoomy. I am totally convinced that the strict H1-B rules will be removed.
I am trying to figure out or want to see how or will these tech companies force or lobby to get EB relief.
How important is EB relief for them?
1) they can't hire brains from US universities.
2) they can't hire those who they think would benefit the company but are stuck with their GC process with some other small consulting firm.
I see STEM with advance degree getting relief, the current backlog will not be benefitted a lot (eg. Real hike in EB visas, Removing the country cap). I am not being a pessimist but, I do not see a light in my path. (May be my comments are wrong)
**** Important Note****
After the State Union Speech given by the President to change the Immigration system, we saw a huge applause by all the law makers. So many individual bills in favor of Skill were introduced. Mr Gates, in front of Senate gave a detailed explaination of our problems, we saw few bills after H1-B quota ran out on the second day of the filing date added to the senate judiciary committee.
Our hopes increased after seeing so many favourable documents and media coverage, but what happened in the end.. Illegals were given a very very very easy path to citizenship after breaking the law.They get a relief which we can never imagine will ever happen to us.
Let us say we get the oppurtunity to file I-485 without PD. Increase in H1-B, Increase in EB visas. But still we have to stick to an employer, can't move up the ladder because of the same Labor description needed to be mainain I-485 if we take AC21.
I cannot digest and will never be able to digest that we are not given the oppurtunity to file our I-485 individually and work for any employer.

I agree with the OP that Air India is one of the worst airlines for service. I have travelled a lot in AI due to company policy peviously.
Now that I dont have any obligation, I always prefer Singapore and Cathay pacific. They rock!!!
Excellent service (specially for elderly people and kids), fresh food and reasonable prices.

Hi,
Did u find a reply for this? What did u do? I have the same situation..
Please show some lights..

I�m working for company A and company B has sponsored my GC as future employee and also did a H1 transfer from A but got a big RFE. Now company C is ready to do H1 transfer. Is it a good idea to do so or would get into problems as GC is in process through B? We did I-140 & I-485 concurrent filing and got our EAD�s approved but I-140 is still in pending status. I heard that using EAD is not a good idea when I-140 is pending.
My Attorney is sending a response to RFE but I�m not sure whether it gets approved or not. What happens if B transfer gets approved and would choose to work with B and not use C at all (if it gets approved)?
In the other way, If C gets approved and choose to work with them as the H1 with A expires pretty soon (got to move out) can I comeback to B with a fresh (another) H1 transfer. Please suggest what is the best to do at this time?

I had emailed CIS Ombudsman's requesting temporary relief in such uncertain times...by allowing ppl to file for AOS..even if their PD is not current.
They replied to me ..but i think a more co-ordinated and deluge of such requests will make them take this issue seriously.
I think desi3933 is right -- that one cannot file AOS without PD being current. However, this does not mean we should give up pursuing our goal. The secretary of DHS specially made it clear that she is willing to push for changes both regulatory AND legislative. But before putting in any effort, she will need to know what changes to push for. She even specifically mentioned the issue with pre-application of AOS, which seems to me a real good chance to get the message delivered.
Just for starters, here are the benefits I can think of about pre-filing of AOS:
- By having all applications on file, let USCIS better predict case load and allow DOS Visa Office to make informed decision on Cutoff Date movements
- Create more revenue for USICS (DHS) via AP and EAD applications
- Reduce the work load of Overseas Consulates when applicants with AP does not have to apply re-entry H1B visa.
- Many H1B visa holders have to go through the administrative procedure when applying re-entry visa. This process is more or less a duplicate with the background check required for green card application. When the applicant is allowed to travel with AP, the effort of background check is consolidated and allow resources to be better utilized.
- EAD allows applicants more freedom to change job, this will results in better resource distribution to accommodate the rapid changes of the economy, and it makes the market the most important factor to determine wages.
Please add whatever you feel missing to the points and maybe we'll come up with a formal letter to communicate to the secretary.
Last, to address the concern that USCIS may be flooded by AOS applications from freshly off-the-boat H1B's, restrictions need to be put on the qualification of AOS. What I could think of is:
- Must have approved I-140 (immigration visa. I think this restriction makes the most sense)
- Must have priority date older than a certain number of years
- Must have been in the US legally for five years
- etc.

Anybody thinking of this ...........
I know there is a whole lot of people asking if they can do a Executive MBA or Masters and qualify for the US Masters exemption. My question is, what about someone who started and did his Masters in his field of labor application from a accredited university, after applying for EB3 labor, and now has labor and 140 approved but waiting for PD, will this person also qualify for US Masters, or will he have to start a new labor application based on the masters degree ?
Gurus, please answer.

I had H1 from company A with dates from 2005 to 2008. after working with Company A for one year, I moved to company B in 2006 (04/10/2006) and My H1 transfer with Company B is still pending. I got H1 RFE query from CSC last month with biglist of documents. Now I got news that CSC denied couple of H1s it seems recently..So can I ask company C to file H1 transfer petition so that even if CSC denies my H1 from Company B, I can maintain my legal H1 status. Or Can I ask Company B to file another H1 transfer petition at Vermont service center (because my company is in that region).
Please advise me on this...Thanks a alot in advance.

Under the Fees section, it stated that if you filed your I485 on or after July 2007, and you paid the I485 fees, then no fees is required. Does that mean that I don't have to pay for the $305 for my advanced parole?
My I485 was received sept 2007, and I paid for the I485 fees, offcourse. This is something that I'm not too sure.
The filers who ever filed in July 2007 to August 15 2007 need to pay Advance parole money also.

Just to add.... porting process is legit for EB-2 as well. EB-1 is current now. :p

The Indian CRAB is the story of how a fisherman kept a basket with crabs, uncovered. When asked, he replied " They�re Indian Crabs - If one tries to climb out, the others will pull it back in, hence there�s no need for a lid "

Porting process is a legit process and for well qualified EB-3 india folks thats the only ray of Hope.
You can rant about it but noone going to stop the porting process becaue the folks who initially filed under EB-3 are now eligible to get Job promotions , new roles and responsibilities in their Career and in some cases new Sr. Job positions which are qualified EB-2. By the way they do file new PERM labor and new I-140, it is not a automatic qualification just based on number of years waiting in the endless EB-3 india queue.
Under the current circumstances where EB-3 india doesnt get any spillover numbers or any such relief like VISA recapture bill, do you expect them to go behind the lines with new EB-2 PD? What about the wait period in the backlog centres, in the PERM process and for few I140 stage waiting period? Its the law and people are following it. You can try porting to EB1 if you are qualified enough and port your EB-2 PD to EB-1.
Just because you are qualified initially for EB-2 doesnt mean others are inferior and they are not eligible to port to EB-2.

Now thats unfair .... you are just using one part of the quote to distort the entire post ... The discussion and context of that statement was always on categories.... and was using that sentence as an example on categories...
The assumption was that readers would understand categories over individual qualifications/countries of origin in this context
If you destroy the context in which a statement is made it makes the entire post "look" bad and is disingenuous
Here is my entire post
"It does make sense that the overflow numbers are given to higher preference categories in single state oversubscribed countries. When you think about it, will that not be the most beneficial to United States? Who would you prefer .... and Unskilled professional from a ROW category or a skilled worker from an Oversubscribed country. I would gather it would make more sense to give the opportunity to the higher skilled since the benefit to US will be higher"
Your arugment would hold if there were no country limits.
