[QUOTE= From 2005 onwards people are actively looking for EB2.[/QUOTE]
And that is the problem with new bees. They do not have knowledge about the prevalent effects of past occurances and generally people decide about filing by hearing 4 frineds and reading 3 suggestions from the forum. In my opinion, assuming USCIS will work like the way it is working till now, it is dangerous for somebody to apply a "new File" under Eb2 category. Again this is based on assumption that everything will rmain the same way. If tomorrow there will be a drastic change in the law like 800000 total EB visas per year then things will be changed. If I would be 2007 filer, I would file under EB3 category.

Fellows,
We all had a sigh of relief when we saw the new labor certification process (Perm) and were promised that it will be much faster and smooth. Thankfully they have kept their promise, for the most part, except for the cases that get audited.
The cases that are 'randomly audited' have been pending for months and months, some cases () have been pending for over an year and there have been no response from DoL what so ever. I understand that a year does not sound bad especially to those folks who had their labor approved through the old process but these days the labor is getting approved within 50-60 days (average). It appears that the DOL (Atlanta Processing Center at least) does not bother to look at the documents once the audit has been replied to.
Although I understand that not everyone uses and some audit replies may have been replied sooner and were never reported to but you can get the idea just by a sample of the cases that were audited, and see that they have being neglected, ignored or appears that they are no longer considered for further processing. I have seen instances where the lawyers have retreated the application in the audit and filed a new application (a gamble) hoping that it does not get audit this time around. But not sure how that turned out.
If you visit the Atlanta Perm section on you will see the people's misery I mention here. In fact, I am sure that there are number of IV members who are going through this aggravating process but are silent becuase they know that can not do anything. Even lawyers have shown the sign of disappointment to this hopeless condition.
So I ask you, the IV Senior Members, to help us and suggest something that (we) can be done to bring this to the attention of some sort of authority that would help trigger the review of Audit responses.
Thank you!

Hi Guys, hellomms and others,
my point is also not nationality. My point is the filed of work and job requirements. since most audit cases end up with questionaire for 'Business necessity', is it somehow connected to DOL definition for each job type...minimum requirements in terms of educational requiremets for that job type etc.. ?
For example: In the IT field , even though your employer advertises for MS and/or experience, but according DOL job type definitions most of the software/computer programmer/analyst job types require a minimum of BS only and or maybe some experience. so is that reason why they are asking you to justify interms of 'Buissness necessity' and hence audited... ? or something else...? I know for sure that some of the science related job types according to DOL need a minimum of MS, ex: parmaceutical jobs, environmental, biotechnology/bioengineering, material science, geoscience etc.
Thanks!

Something funny seems to be going on with the TSC EAD processing dept. I got my second "Card Production Ordered" email today, saying new card has been ordered on July 29. This followed the earlier email 13 days ago, which said the new card was ordered July 17! Did anyone else have similar experience?
Same here after the first one on 11 July ...Looks like USICS is sending me 2 cards with 1 year each :) .........
Any thing can happen with USICS ..

good point ..I do invest in stocks / ETF's and funds ...but I would definitely say ..stay away from day trading !!! be diversified, invest in good companies (invest only pocket money/minor amount in very risky assets) and for the long term ..i.e. you should not need that money during emergencies ..STAY AWAY from all day trading software !!! and if you cannot take losses (or are happy with normal returns) ...stay away from stocks (except for a small portfolio/ 401 etc) completely
>> ... I would definitely say ..stay away from day trading !!!
Depends on lot of factors. I have been trading for last 10 years. I don't trade stocks. I trade index futures sp500 and Nasdaq mini. It is short term - couple of hours to maximum couple of days. Day Trading requires good analytical skills for technical charts and lot of discipline to follow enter and exit rules.
Taxes are computed differently for futures trading. You will need this IRS form (6781 Gains and Losses From Section 1256 Contracts and Straddles) to file your taxes for trading futures.
>> ... STAY AWAY from all day trading software !!!
I agree. They are mostly snake oil. I suggest - do some reading and follow some indicators and come up with Trading Strategy. It is recommended to do paper trading before starting trading with real money.
>> ... if you cannot take losses (or are happy with normal returns) ...stay away from stocks (except for a small portfolio/ 401 etc) completely
Trading, of course, involves risks. I pick funds for my 401(k). So far it has been good. I was up last year 4.2%. Never had any losing year in 401(k).
There are many tools for technical charting. I use Ninja Trader since it allow to me define new indicators using c# (.net) language.
If anyone is interested, I put my daily charts here. Sorry, I can not disclose my indicators and I don't have anything to sell either.
I can share some trading books, if you are interested.
Disclaimer: Information use only and should not be constructed as an offer to buy or sell any securities. Trading is very risky and is not for everyone.

I think there are more people affected by this than 50 people mentioned in this thread. My recommendations are.
1) Need to gather additional people got affected by this
2) Most of the people already contribute to IV but if we need additional funds to drive this lobbying, need to find out and start collecting additional funds
3) Need advise from IV moderators/seniors about the next step regarding lobbying or contacting the local law makers or collecting additional funds for organized lobbying.
Other information we need to find out is does any people got LCA approved after the audit? If yes, how much time it has taken after the audit?

You are laying your own immaturity out there by rambling on and on about vague facts and statements only to make the same point again and again - that you think IV does not represent EB3. Why dont you state that one line and save us the trouble of reading your meaningless drivel??
yes, this rant is oft repeated by around 5-6 members who do NOT represent the thousands of EB folks (EB2 AND EB3) who are affected by this mess.
So before you start one of your long drawn essays again, step back and THINK (which you do not seem to be doing at all..or are not capable of doing) about whether you are contributing even one bit to solving the problem or trying to add to the problem. we can do a lot more if we spend less time trying to drill sense into wayward people like you.
Think about -
1) how many lawmakers you have met till date to resolve the EB3 problem (which you accuse IV of not solving). Have you asked a lawmaker while per country limits cannot be removed....an act which will remove all EB3 backlog??
2) how many IV advocacy events have you attended?
Yes and you are showing your maturity by talking about what i write as a long essay and garbage. Why are EB2 guys scared to have a dicsussion. Is it because you donot have any talking points and are talking vaguly yourselves
BTW the reason i write so detailed is because i believe i am respecting you by replying in detail to your points. I was under the impression that we were having a discussion, but sadly i am having a disucssion and you are ranting and raving.

Hi everyone,
My friend is filing H1B visa from his employer which is a non profit organization. However since he is the only one that organization has ever filed H1B and according to him that his employer is only filing BCIS form I-129.
Dont the non-profit organizations have to follow the regular procedures? Of what I know these are the procedures for filing H1B.
1. Wage Verification
2. Filing Labor Certification Application (LCA)---Form ETA 9035
3. Approval of LCA----hard copy sent to the employer
4. Employer posts notices
5. Filing H1B visa petition, Form I-129
6. Waiting for approval.
His employer filing I-129 straight way, without following the other procedures, I was curious that things are done a little different for non-profit organizations- are they?
Is there a difference in procedure (except for the $ 1000 fee) of filing h1b between profit and non-profit organizations?
Any suggestion in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I-485 Approval and Wife Still on H-4 [Archive] - Immigration Voice (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-10649.html)
I believe that as soon as you file under section 245k, your spouse will be eligible for EAD, AP.
Also, I have heard that 245k is straightforward and will be granted quickly- meaning your spouse will be granted gc in a couple months.

Yes.
A 2002 PD would get GC earlier that 2006 PD, even though the 2006 PD may get EAD/AP and other benefits earlier. EAD and AP have nothing to do with PD, only I-485 depends on PD.
Have you got this info from a truely realiable source? It seems there are 2 different opinions about this process, that's why I'm asking. I think it's fair to go by PD, but how CIS could sort out earlier PD from tens of thousands of applications is another question.

I removed congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard from the list as she is now the co sponsor of all three bills
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....

Congrats to all who got greened (not the button) in the last couple of days. Based on and responses from few friends looks like TSC is approving cases left right and center.
I made a request to check on my case through local congresswoman and will take about 15 days to see whats going on. I also have a Infopass on thurs (Aug 5th) and hope to get some news (Let them touch my case atleast) then.
Based on my SR response that i got a week back, i am pre adjudicated..
