FYI
please note that although you have time till august 17th to file 485, unless you get ur labor approved in July u will not be eligible. The adjustment to extend it for a month is for people who were eligible in july. Please plan accordingly.

Correct. There maybe many such people. And we see it as our failure too. Because as a community we have not raised enough awareness about us. Some people maybe seeing us just a forum and lot more outreach work is needed by our active members. Each one of us should contact our friends and tell them about IV. New members on IV should get answers to their questions as well as information about related advocacy work done by IV politely urging them to help out. Other websites and forums should also help raise awareness about what we do so that the community understand that what we do is for the benefit of the community and it is a community effort.
Thats true dear pappu,
I Never donated anything to IV so far, but now I will do that. I did spread awareness about IV from last several years, and will keep doing so.
IV helps me a lot in providing valuable information plus very big moral support when i got frustrated.
Thank you I IV and Dear Teddy for his great hardwork.
is there anyway we can add some more points in IV agenda if they are already not there,
1. what we can do to reduce Citizenship waiting time for us who are already waiting from many years for GC because of the retrogression.
2. how to make easier for a unmarried Greencard holder to bring their spouses to US rather then waiting for 4 years.
if you dont like any of the above suggestions, just ignore and dont fight.
Thanks

People who have not yet called, please take a few minutes to call the CHC members on the first page. If you feel that it will consume a lot of time during week days, you can call now or after-hours and leave a voicemail. The voicemail takes only a few seconds. Every phone call counts.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi,
At last, our priority dates are current.
Now, we have to go and submit Medical Examination Results.
My Wife is pregnant and I was told by my friends that it is not a good idea to get her immunized (vaccines) now. She might probably have taken most of them back in INDIA.
Is there a way we can apply for I-485 and get EID's without her immunization record? (I will have mine). I am sure there are others who are in the same boat.
Please advice.

What a contrast! You guys on the west coast are running in 100 degrees. My schedule forces me to run at 5.00 am...........in 3 layers of clothing @ 40 degrees.

First, My LC PD is May 2001 (Yes. May 2001 no typo). RIR remanded to NON-RIR pushed to BEC and stuck there with no recruitment instructions(RI). Obviously that is not only labor I filed but the 2001 labor is the one I'm counting on and mess I'm in is a separate story.
To the topic, folks with later PD able\elgible to file for i485 IS UNFAIR but that is not a result of their action and it is USCIS's fault. So directing the anger towards them IS UNFAIR. Senthil mentioned how RIR was unfair to ppl on NON-RIR. Glad you brought it up because we all know this GC process at every level is so screwed up that nothing makes any sense. At least to me. If you get through to next stage it is seems like a mini-miracle!
One more thing, PD does matter and members do not attach their PD as a signature for no reason. It does not matter a dime if the visas are available i.e it is CURRENT. PD only comes into picture(in I485) when the dates are retrogressed and backlogged. Of course in such scenario PD is HUGE. So it only works in favor of ppl like me if the GC is retrogressed but wishing such a scenario or advising such a scenario would help me is just plain foolish. What we have in our hand(too many i485 going forward) is a humongous problem. In 6 months or later it is gonna loom large and is gonna hurt us very badly if we do not do anything. That should be one of our the main action item and we should seek a way to solve it(recapture etc...)
Rejoice when you get your GC, this Aug 17th development is just a relief for stressed out souls(some). We've won a battle not the war.
Lastly, Please direct you reply to original poster and STOP GENERALIZING certain groups as BEC Folks (i.e BEC folks are insensitive) No one is a spokesman for people stuck in BEC nor should one posters view should be construted as the views of the large. I'm seeing insensitive posts on both sides of the fence. Let us stop spewing hatred by posting our knee jerk reactions.
Let's stop venting and see what we can do. We all know, if everyone was just venting the Aug 17th development would not have happened. So let's act and see what the possibilities are moving forward.

EB1 spillover may never come for some time in the future. The Indian IT companies are applying under EB1 for their PMs and Senior PMs (req: BS in any discipline + 6-7 yrs exp), labeling them as multi-national executives. They are also making the employee pay for the 140 and 485 so that the financial impact is reduced a lot by a potential rejection of the 140.
This is as much BS as labor sub. I think everybody here knows how tough it is to get EB1 classification for researchers. But what scrutiny is there for these "multi-national executives" ? All they have to do is spend some time in India or any other country as a PM or SPM, come to the US on H1B and promptly apply under EB1. :mad:
You nailed it. This is the other form of labor substitution loophole the indian IT companies are using. Even I have started to hear quite a few cases now that indian IT PM or manager are being labelled as multi-national executives. If this is not stopped then any relief from spillover, you can just forget about it. I have heard lot of cases now like this and we need to do something about it. Only genuine candidates should be able to apply in this category.

Lalitha,
If your employer comes under the cap exempt category (non-profit, educational institutions) then your H1 will be approved with immediate effect and you can start working as soon as you receive the approval notice. Otherwise, your H1 will be approved with a start date of Oct 1st. In this case, you cant work until that date.

Hi
Can I file for I-485 while I am waiting for I-140 approval. My PD is current under eb2 and my I-140 was filed on Jan-2007. I am going to upgrade to PP for I-140 but since lots of people will start going to file for PP, it is very much likely that NSC will issue RFE to reduce there workload. So my question is while I wait for I-140 approval, can I file I-485?

I hope you know what is Ph.D. Please get out of this thread. We do not need thoughtless creatures. Do not reply to this and be away from this forum.

Again, a grasp on the English language is missing. Wow and all that after a Ph.D!!!. So why are you stuck in a retrogression under the EB3 category "PhD Face"

i arrived saturday morning and went through a comedy of errors before reaching the comfort inn that many of us were to stay...was hungry and tired and wondering where everyone was...and then nixstor turns up with the very best home cooked food possible....aman arrived too and after a mad scramble to arrange plates we all consumed it like we had never eaten before...memories of that meal are making me hungry again...:D
hey nixstor...thanks (for that and a lot more)...convey that to your wife please...since she did the hard work!

Accenture and other big firms will survive without H1b by recruiting GC holders ,Citizens, L1 and B1. So there will not be any long term impact because of this bill. Still most of the H1 cap will be filled as the companies will try to comply the regulations. I do not see any issue in proving that no USA workers available if it is really the case. Right now if H1b and US worker is available with same skills Indian companies are purposefully avoiding US workers for obivious reasons. We everyone aware of it. Because we are impacted personally we are opposing this bill. This attitude will not win. We should be ready for some compromise if deadlock
Why to you want to discriminate between one set of companies from another set of companies? In effect, discriminate between employees of one set of companies with the employee of other set of companies? Let me guess, you do not work for one set of companies but may possible work for another set of companies, right? I see some posts on the forum want to change the system as to best suitable their individual situation and they don't care if rest of the world is screwed.
With the green card backlogs, a lot of companies have many employees on H-1B status, waiting for their green card. As such the ratio of people on H1 to green card is increasing. Why do you want to punish the employee on H1, waiting for the green card for many years, because of retrogression? I am not able to understand the objective and rationale of your suggestion?
This bill is not just about limiting the % of employees on H1. It also says that employers will be "investigated" and "audited". "Investigation" is done when there is an allegation of a wrong-doing. So in essence, the bill says that as soon as you employ someone on H1, you have done something wrong. Even after listing the job on DOL website for 30 days and going through all the other stringent requirements, is that how it should be? When an employer hire an employee on H1, the employer is paying filing fee, lawyer’s fee and 8-10% taxes for hiring each employee. This "Investigation" and other stringent provisions to make it impractical to file H1 is simply to destroy H1 program. For now you may see the bill as to how it best suits your individual situation and then you may suggest how it further fit exactly into your situation before coming with an idea, like the one you suggested, but the bottom line is, this bill makes entire H1 program "non-workable" as mentioned by the administrator. And it applies to Oracle & IBM Consulting, PWC, Deloitte and every other employer.

I have asked a few of my friends to contribute, but as somebody else has mentioned, it's extremely hard to convince people to contribute. We can't force them :D
Go Immigration Voice !!! Let our collective voices be heard loud and clear ;)
