Seems like this is just a Republican backed bill. Dems will fight this or insist that some provisions for illegals be included as well. Also once elections are over it is possible that the Dems will be majority and then this bill gets kicked to the side.

This is really great news!!
I have a labor approved. Not yet filed I-140.
Can I file I-140 and 485 together now?
Does it matter if I-140 is filed as premium or regular if 485 can be applied for along with the I-140?
Also, I called in the USCIS number (202) 663-1541 that has the recorded message with the priority dates. The ones that are employment based are not all current for India. They are not the older dates too...something like 2005 for EB3 India (unless I was too excited that I didn't hear it right!)
Are all employment based categories for India really current?
Thanks...

People are always blaming
their circumstances for what they are.
I don't believe in circumstances.
The people who get on in this world are
the people who get up and
look for the circumstances they want, and

Look at the unity in our diversity...for a moment while reading some of the comments I forgot I was in the US and looking at an supposedly elite forum...Bravo!! Keep it up Indians (Tamilians, Gujaratis, Marathis, Bengalis, Biharis, etc..)
One more thing, if you are upset with a person who misbehaved with you (in this case, rudely told you he didn't know any language other than Hindi), then logic tells me I should be upset with that person and not the reason (in this case, language) itself.
I belong to a Hindi speaking part of India, and I have lived in Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. I've had people tell me very rudely to talk in the native languages of these areas and I've tried, sometimes successfully and sometimes, not so much. The rudeness of a few members of the community never led me to form a general opinion. I've very close friends from all over India.
It is my opinion that one should try to learn the local language. It bodes well for everybody and makes life easier. As matured people that we are, I think this is a very trivial issue to fight among ourselves or get emotional.
I never knew Hindi is a local language in US:D Moreover I dont have anything against Hindi or any other language. Its the personal experience with people on more than one occasion.

Countrywise visa allocation limits contradicts Equal Employment Opportunity law, specially in the presence of the Diversity visa lottery.
I have pledged $1K for the lawsuit, because I believe in this just cause.
We need to find a good attorney to fight it - can anyone talk to the Big names - one name who sounds passionate in his posts is Ron G.
I have no big name lawyers around this remote interior place. I urge the folks who truly believe in this cause to:
- Talk to a few good attorneys
- come up with a plan for action and form an action committee
- Let the attorney determine the way we fund it ( A bare minimum $ amount be advertised), so that a conditional collective representation as well as refund clause is present in the agreement.
- We shall all collectively urge others to contribute too.
- If we do not receive the minimum amount by a certain date (say 60days), we would trust the Attorney to refund the cheque amounts as per the agreements we sign.
- It should not matter whether we win or loose. At least we would have stood for Justice and Equality for all.

Thomachan,
We need more people on this forum and in the world like you!!
Very humorous insight and practical perspective.
Thanks for the compliment bondgoli. Being a person who has slept in the airport (floor) on quite a few occasions I have realized that people still somehow think that they are paying "big money" and so need good treatment. That is no longer true. The competition among providers has lead to their own (and ofcourse ours) decline. My kid always makes sure the nintendo ds and a few novels are packed up anytime the sentence "we will have to fly" is pronounced. Now we also pack up a few extra bed sheets and I am an expert now to spot the warm areas to sleep. We also keep turn watchin over the stuff when the rest sleep (ofcourse on the floor). And yes, we dont hold any hatred against the airline employee because they are "nothing" and can "do nothing". So friends if you see an Indian family sleeping in any airport dont hesitate to come and say Hi.

Info I provided on G325 is correct. I have only worked for 'Employer #1' and 'Employer #2', which I entered in G325. I have never worked for 'Employer X' and I did not mention 'Employer X' in G325.
Thanks.
Well, It depends on whether you did a transfer from Employer #2 to Employer X OR Employer X filed a new H1B. If this is a transfer, you should not waste any more time on this forum, rather contact an attorney immediately and get help.

Does an MBA from a foriegn University Qualify for an exemption of CAP of EB2 Visas?
I was thinking one has to MS in a US university to qualify.
Thanks for further clarifying.
There are two categories of people who will qualify for the exemption
1) Any person with any advanced degree from a US university. There fore the following would qualify as examples:
a) MS in Computer Science
b) PhD in Mechanical Engineering
c) MBA
d) MS in Physics
e) MS in English
2) Any person with an advanced degree in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) from a non-US university (i.e. minimum of 18 years of education: 12 years of school + 4 years of bachelors + 2 years of masters) + minimum 3 years of work experience in US in a "related" field. There fore the following would qualify as examples:
a) 4 year bachelors + 2 years of M. Tech in Chemical Engineering from China + 3 years as a chemical engineer in a company in US.
b) 3 year bachelors + 2 yeas of masters + PhD in mathematics from India + 3 years in mathematics related field in a company in US.
3) The following as examples would not qualify:
a) MBA from a non-US univ.
b) 3 years bachelors + 2 years masters from a non-US univ.
c) Masters in English from a non-US univ.

Hi kate123, either it is a legislative fix or not, it's not up to us to decide. I saw the danger of our time and effort being sidetracked by trying to argue whether it's a legislative or administrative fix. The new secretary has made it clear that she is willing to push for BOTH Administrative AND Legislative fix if it's deemed necessary. Our goal should be bringing enough attention to her on the pre-application issue and convince her it's a meaningful change that will help both the DHS and the applicants, so she will push for changes. Please let me know if you agree.
desi3933,
I completely agree what you said and what is interpreted in the law.
BUT if they really go by law , JULY 2007 fiasco SHOULD never happen.
If you see my earlier post, author has clearly mentioned that "USCIS does not have to define "immediate availability" strictly on the cut-off dates listed in the Visa Bulletin."
Please refer paragraph 8 from:
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0225-endelman.shtm
Well, again its up to CIS how they interpret the law... Atleast if we request them to allow pre filing they might go easy on this and allow us to file for AOS.
Thanks a lot

Well, I hope mine gets resolved sooner than 6-8 months! My EAD is already expired and I could not apply since there was nothing in the application where I could show my status which is PR.
TravInd, you are right about people not knowing the priority dates and not aware the GC was a mistake. In fact, I still don't know for sure if mine was a mistake. I will know only when I find it out through the lawyer. My previous lawyer who worked on my GC case said congratulations and everything was fine. I am eager to find out if it was a mistake on my own.
Just a hypothetical scenario.
Say an applicant is having PD of March 2005.
His/Her 485 gets approved with PD of Jan 2005. (may be a typo by CIS data entry person)
However at the time of approval, PD is current till June 2005. (he or she should have been approved anyway).
What would be the scenario? Thoughts? Any one????

A little hesitant initially but it all went quite well. She took the message, name and the location I was calling from. Took less than a minute and the lady was super nice.

I have been a contributor for quite some time and this was the only thing which was missing (HESITANCY TO CALL) and I am glad I am over that too. There is no reason not to make the call friends. GO FOR IT. It really feels awesome after the call.

Those who have not called yet, please do.
