02/02/2007: What Did Senator Kerry Immigration Reform Bill Mean to EB Immigrants?
In highsight, the failure of the Kerry Amendment to H.R.2 to pass the Senate could be considered a relief to the EB immigrants. Review of the immigration reform bill in the H.R. will establish that the bill proposed for the employment-based immigration system practically nothing other than increasing the annual quota to 290,000. None of the provisons in the SKIL bill was reflected in the bill, including exemption of the spouses and children from from the numerical limitations, exemption of certain EB groups from the annual numerical limits, opportunity for filing I-485/765/131 for the I-140 beneficiary during the visa number retrogression, etc. etc. etc.! Had this been enacted, it would have affected the upcoming CIR bill or special legislation for Employment-Based immigration system reform. This reporter was shocked to learn that this bill provided practically no relief for the employment-based imigrants other than farm workers and the children eligible for DREAM Act bill. The bill was extremely imbalanced legislation in a way from the perspectives of the "Comprehensive" Immigration Reform.
We will see whether the Senate leaders will indeed complete and introduce the CIR proposal next month.

D. EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY IN THE COMING MONTHS
There has been no forward movement of the Employment cut-off dates for November. The reason for this is that it is still too early to see what impact the movement of the cut-off dates toward the end of FY-2007 may have on demand. Depending on the rate of demand being received from Citizenship and Immigration Services offices for adjustment of status cases, some forward movement of dates may be possible for December.

1. Bill applies to anyone who got their degree in preceding 5 years or resided legally since graduating (even greater than 5 years) will be eligible under this bill.
2. Many ROW EB2 and EB3 will get visa number from the 55K if they have advanced degree here. That means more spillover.
3. Many EB2I/C forks will get visa number from the 55K if they have advanced degree here. That means more spillover.
4. There are going to be more Indian and Chinese apply for EB2? Not that easy any more. The DOL is tougher than before on PERM application. I don't believe there are going to be 55K more new EB2 applicants each year. No matter whether there is additional 55k, people are always trying to applying for Eb2 if there can. As we don't see that many new EB2 now, I don't believe we will get that many new Eb2 later either. Plus, the bill does not say the 55K visa will only go to EB2.
5. What else can we do then? It is already very tough to push this bill through. Should we modify the bill by saying that just simply applying the 55K to everyone, no matter if he/she has advanced degree? I am perfectly OK with that if the IV core think it is a better idea. Personally, I think that would make this bill even more difficult. :
I respectfully diagree with you regarding your point 4
Perm may have got tougher but EB2 applications are still being filed. Along with that there are still students coming to US from india to do MS and they are alos going to apply in EB2 (I know i am generalizing but tell me if you are about to start ur GC process will you agree for EB3 knowing how the situation is currentlY for EB3)
Regarding your point 5
Yes that would make perfect sense logically but wil not happen because don't you know that persons who did MS in US are the elite. They are the best minds and make the most money and add the most to the US economy while guys who are working in US are are well lets just say not usefull to the economy and just taking free money. So looking at this issue from US side it makes sense to explicitly provide these 55 k visas to only US educated persons so that they can add more to the ecomony. And lest sface it who cares for guys who just work here but are not educated here.

Most of us are missing the point here. The bill is aimed at those immigrants who have obtained advanced degrees in the US. And believe me, there are lot of aspiring immigrants who have been waiting since 2002-2003 who also happen to have American degrees, most of them stuck with EB3. Priority Dates will still be in play. Most probably, there will be a new category. These additional visas will help clear up backlogs irrespective of your current visa category. If you have a US degree and your PD is current, you will be eligible. Not sure what the confusion is about :)
What you say is true but can you please let me know what you think might be the reasoning of the introducer of the bill.
1. Get rid of DV because they add no value to economy - That i can understand
2. Give the saved 55 k visa to US educated GC applicants. That i CANNOT understand
WHY ?? Don't GC applicants who work but are not educated here contribute to the economy also
Instead of focussing the energy of an organiazation towards unrealistic targets such as removal of country quota and recapture of unused visa it would be better to channel all efforts to get the 55K visas given to people with older priority date, and if it makes EB2 guys panicky ask for a rule to keep the date difference between EB2 and EB3 by 3 years (an arbitary number) . That will keep EB2 and EB3 happy instead of the bill in teh current form

Teddy, IV team totally understand the need for predictions, it is a time consuming effort that some of you put in the thread to answer the needs of many IV members. Absolutely true and we appreciate your commitment and dedication. That being said, prediction alone is not the answer. Prediction along with advocacy gets the work done.
Predict all year round, and help the people needing the information to plan their life around, but when there is an opportunity to add to the efforts of prediction.....such as Advocacy, please make the best of it. It is frustrating to see that many members are simply satisfied at predicting, and are broadly indifferent to advocacy. As pappu mentioned earlier, it was advocacy that was instrumental in getting the data for all the calculations.........
I am flabbergasted when I hear members say that - I will be current in a month or two, so I am not interested in advocacy. They easily forget the long wait times they themselves encountered in the past and do nothing to help the people who still have endless wait times.....
If any of the IV team members are promoting advocacy over prediction (now), it is because, if done correctly, we could collectively solve the need for prediction for all immigrants residing in this country currently irrespective of their EB category!

With this attitude and arrogance, I rarely think there would be motivation for anyone to do anything for IV.

Please read my initial post before commenting. I always said, I am for IV cause. just convince me so that I can convince some one
Gisa pita dialogue,...dont ask what IV has done,, ask yourself what you have done... COMMON
Here it is, I can write in BOLD and RED
No one is going to waste time in convincing you. If you are not convinced but you think green card is an important issue, then start your own organization, spend your money, provide customer service and convince others, like the way you want others to convince you. Maybe you will do a better job.
The $1/bill in Indian restaurant is the most foolish of all the ideas. Indian restaurants don't let waiters/servers take $1 tip, you think you can let them raise $1 for you? A great soul said - Be the change you want to see in the world. Why don't you start your organization and do the things you are telling others to do for you? That way you will not have to read this forum or reply to posts you don't seem to like.

Finally I was greened after 4 years and 3 months from my I-140 approval date.
I opened a SR yesterday and today my CPO e-mail came to my mailbox. However my wife's status says
"On August 2, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later."
Do you know what does it mean?:confused:
I am not sure whether opening a SR helped or not. Good luck to everyone. Remember GC is something but not everything in life. Being healthy and spending quality time with your family are more important than GC.
Congrats Masterji. BTW, how were you able to open the SR. I called them this morning and they told me that my PD became current yesterday so I should wait for 30 days before calling them back.

Today my attorney said that if it hasnt moved for two visa bulletins in the fiscal year then he is almost sure (using 27 year experience in immigration) that it will not move much this year.
:-(
dont worry the dates will move. Ask your attorney if he is willing to take a bet on that.
this year is "special". The July VB filings, the rush of approvals in teh last 2-3 months... lots of things have happened this year that have never happened in the past.

MY PD is also July 26 2007.
I live in Texas as well.
My case is filed in Chicago based on my employer state which is MO.
If your employer is in Texas your case would have been filed in Chicago.
It is taking longer than 2 months to get approvals.
Hopefully we will get approved soon and get the hard copy before August 17th to file the I-140 and I-485 together.
Good Luck

Visa Bulletin Mess Update: Rumors and Innuendo
HLG has confirmed that the CIS is not returning I-485 Applications back to those who filed I-485 during the first week of July. This is leading many to speculate that the CIS may reverse course and re-re-amend the July Visa Bulletin; whether the Visa Bulletin actually reopens remains to be seen. HLG normally refrains from commenting on rumors, but we have talked to several Washington insiders and believe that this is seriously being considered.
What does this mean for foreign nationals who planned on filing I-485s in July 2007?
HLG recommends that all foreign nationals who planned on filing I-485s in June take two actions:
Have your medical appointments completed. Medical appointments can back up quite quickly. Therefore we urge people to complete their medicals.
Send in your documents to HLG. HLG�s I-485 Step By Step Guide has a list of documents that we need for all I-485 filing. HLG will not begin preparing the I-485 at this time, but we still recommend that you send us all of the items on the list.
HLG I-485 Step By Step Guide: http://www.hammondlawfirm.com/485step_by_step.htm
What does this mean for foreign nationals who planned on filing via Consular Processing?
We urge all foreign nationals to attend consular appointments. The Consulates are clearly issuing visa stamps to those with appointments.
DOS/USCIS wont do the same mistake one more time . Rather than that , i am expecting August VB with "C" ....so wait for the good news in couple of days ....

Guys, I still don't understand those who keep complaining and complaining about "unfairness" of the system. I feel you, those who are stuck somewhere... and I'm happy for those who can apply, even those who came in 2007. So what? Wishing bad for others is a bad karma... (I started getting into buddist things lately).
And about fairness.. Is it fair that some people are coming here by just winning the lottery? I'm working with one guy from Ukraine, he came several months ago, sitting with his GC next to me, looking at me having NO IDEA what i'm talking about. Is it fair? No.
Is it fair that hundreds of thousands come here and get documents by pretending to be "refugees"? You know how to get your documents through asylum? - Simple: just come up with a story (be gay, anti-communist, jehova-witness, whatever...), then you have ONE interview with officer and THAT'S IT!!! After a year you have GC. Half of LA is like that. I know a lot of dudes came a lot later after me, applying for citizenships now. Telling me that I'm stupid that went through that ridiculous way.
I could become illegale in 1999 and get advantage of Clintons LIFE act. Many did who have citizenships now. Stupid of me? Maybe. Fair? No.
Is this all fair? No... Everybody has his/her way.
I'm proposing to make it more fair. Let's just propose mass deportation of American citizens. Make one big immigration line - then it will be fair.

The three days were packed with drama - Like any good drama, this too had it's moments of tension, action, and humor....the funniest one was:
Right before the rally when Aman was EXTREMELY busy, he actually had 30 seconds for each reporter. Our sweet little Jane walks up to him and asks "Aman where are my clothes?"
Aman had the funniest expression on his face :confused:
Here is the background : All of us had stayed in the same hotel and at the check out time we had kept out luggage in the baggage room. Aman had the tags of Jane's bags and Jane thought that Aman would get her luggage @ the rally!
Guys u had to be there - It was hilarious:D:D:D:D

Hi all of the people who did not call!!! Just look at the response we got we already have 2 of the caucus members as co sponsors of the bill If every member of IV called I have no doubt that most of them will become co sponsors but also that the bill will pass. It is our time. We need this to happen.....
Please call, BTW what do you people think about calling again? I think it will count as more support?? Let me know what you guys think and may be all the people who are active can call again....
