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.

That became a donor forum. Poor people like me can not view that thread.

Lets do that. Regular letters.
Print, sign, stamp and mail letters.
I am all for it.
Before we ask Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren for any further help/support, don't you guys think it will be appropriate to first thank her in some kind of noble way? Any ideas?
I personally think (at least to begin with) a letter expressing gratitude for and our faith in her efforts would be a nice gesture.:)

Ideally, you should have opted for CP at the time of filing your I140 and that way your I140 approval would have been forwarded to NVC and they would have initiated the CP. If you had opted for 485 9on your I140) then changing to CP is a cumbersome process.

Update from Infopass at Cleveland office - We were told that our files are with an officer right now. Also, we called to speak with a rep. and were told that our Service Request will be processed on August 18th (we initiated it on August 3rd). Apart from this, we have contacted both our senators and congressman. In addition, I sent an email to NCSCfollowup.nsc@dhs.gov and got a standard reply. I think I have fired on all cylinders and will be hoping that one of them will work.
Keep us posted.
I spoke with IO on 3rd, initiated SR on 4th, initiated congressional request today i.e. 5th. My Infopass is on 11th. Will complete 10 years in US on 13th. Birthday few days after that. So I guess something should work...ROFL...
PD: December 2005.

My interest in the house would be long term investment rather than quality of life. Another point is that most people are unwilling to spend lot of money on rents to get the same QOL. There is emotional element there called (eventual) 'ownership' but that's only emotional. That I don't care about too much.
If the trend indicates prices are falling this year, I guess people will wait for a year more but at some point people will go ahead, depending on the overall economy start buying because no one can really predict the bottom. At that point, it may even start going up allowing the economy to slowly get back on its feet.
The trend is certainly clear :(. That 'some point' is far far away and nearly invisible.

1. Eliminate EAD & AP, let I485 receipt notice be sufficient for travel and employment authorization.
2. Restart H1B visa renewal by mail. Let there be added scrutiny while the application is processed. It atleast wont let people out of country for unknown time.

well I would like to add, I do know details of how a Bill gets created, is reviewed, gets to the Floor of the house, Senate and becomes law.
I do know that once a member of either house presents a Bill, it has to be sponsored, supported by others and go to a sub-committee first. sometimes gets added to other bills.
lets assume by luck or other means it somehow makes it to the floor.
I would really want to see which lawmaker would possibly vote against a Bill that aims to reduce wait time for a Green Card from the existing 10-15 years for legal workers to an average 2-3 years.
That would send a very strong negative message to all legal immigrants, and especially India, China, including hundreds of thousands of university students, engineers, doctors and other professionals. It also sends a message to millions of future students, professionals.
Don't you think that they risk their reputation by voting against this Bill? Not to mention shaking the foundation of capitalism.
This vote will stick with them for the rest of their career.
if they are voting on party lines or other lines, It would give us a good picture and make our job easier in the future.

Letting all this Indian Consulting Firms taking ALMOST all the H-1B visas is very unfair for everyone of us that we are working hard to get a job in the US. In my opinion, they are trying to monopolize all the H-1B so no other company can be able to hire foreign professionals by themself. In this way their only way to get professionals is thru them.
It is very UNFAIR that this consulting companies takes a large number, getting almost everything, of H-1B visas without having a real job for them. This companies will offer this H-1Bs to other companies, making it a big business. Additionally, I believe that indians also pays to this consulting companies for the H-1B.
Even if the congress raise the cap without making changes in the system, it will never be enough. It will just increase the profit of this consulting companies. I only hope that the changes going to be introduced to fix the system will not screw us and complicate more the immigration process. But realistics and effectives changes are needed.
Good luck for everyone who are in the H-1B lottery and really need it.
How do you know that this year quota finished on first day because of “Indian Companies”? Do you have any proof to support your blame? And what is ‘Indian consulting firms”? Why is it ok for one group of companies to file for H1 and not ok for another group of companies to file H1? Why is it “UNFAIR” for consulting companies to take large number of H1 quota? Isn’t H1 considered to be for the “best and the brightest”? Wouldn’t it make more useful for the “best and the brightest” to provide solutions to many companies at the same time by working for consulting companies? Why discriminate against consulting industry?
Here is some information that may help you gauge the reality. There is lot of companies in US that would not fit into your definition of ‘Indian Companies”. These companies have filed for large number of H1s that too would have finished the H1 quota. If it is ok for an H1 employee to work for a shoe making company, then why is it “UNFAIR” for H1 employee to work for a consulting company?
Bottom line is:
1.) There is green card backlog for 6-10 yr. Any company would love to get an insurance policy that an employee will work for them for that long period. So one reason for this quest for H1 is due to delays in green card processing. If someone gets their greencard in 1-2 yrs., H1 visa approval will not get the employers any insurance policy for long term employee. And the demand for H1 due to this factor would subside.
2.) More importantly, even if demand for H1 would subside due to green card processing in 1-2 yr, the fact that unemployment rate is very low will still exist. Unemployment rate is making it hard for companies to find the right people at the right time at the right place. So companies are looking for ways to recruit the necessary talent, wherever that talent is available. IEEE wants all foreign engineers out of the country so that their membership base of engineers here, who do not want to learn new technology, could get the taste of late 90s. So for you to first attack a set of consulting companies and then cheer around the bill hoping that “the changes going to be introduced to fix the system will not screw us and complicate more the immigration process.” is exactly how it is going to play out. Infact, anti-immigrants will come to this site and cut-paste comments like yours into their report to strengthen their argument when they would go out to lobby in favor of this bill. So Best of Luck for your ranting.
For the sake of clarity, I do not work for a consulting company. But I realize that this bill could potentially effect everybody on this forum. Also, I see a racist attitude in this bill against the huge consulting industry. And this negative attitude against consulting industry will have a snow ball effect into rest of the economy and society. I don't think IEEE took that into consideration.

When you do that, will you retain both cases or give up one?
And, say, my case is CP and is already in Consulate awaiting interview. If I start a new LC in EB2, do I have to give up my existing case?

I would suggest IV to setup a seperate Chinese (or Hispanic) contribution page to diverse the culture background of IV members.
Hmm.. thats a good idea.. At least have a one opening page in Chinese / Spanish to bring in more people.. I hope IV does that later.. Of course they would need volunteers for the translation..

Dear Friend
I know you are very BUSY. But I want your TWO minutes to REGISTER at the Following website as member.
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php
This is very important organization working for your and mine benefit. This is group of people like you and me who are leading fight for immigration reform for highly skilled immigrants who have high skill jobs or have U.S. master or higher degree.
As you might be knowing currently there is backlog for green cards. Unless some rules are modified you and me will not get green card in next five years. Specifically it is much serious condition for people from India, China, Philippines and Several such other countries. As they send lot of highly skilled immigrants and each country have fixed quota for employment based green card.
I know some of you have not yet started working on your green cards. But when you will start, you will realize that it is like doing another master or Ph.D. !!
Above group is formed by people who came here on student or H-1B visa. They are trying to fight for immigration reform for highly skilled immigrants. When you read or listen any thing about immigration you listen only about undocumented or illegal immigrants. No one talks about improving immigration situation for employment based highly skilled immigrants. Those very few from the business group who talks about highly skilled, are only interested in increasing H-1B, so that they can get more educated employees. But if you work on H-1 you will know H-1B has several limitation like inability to change employer, spouse can not work etc. So it is very important to get Green Card as early as you can, if you are on student or H-1b visa.
In current situation even if you are wise and quick enough to decide to act quickly for green card, you can not do any thing except sending papers to USCIS ( INS) and paying their fee and wait endless till you get frustrated and depressed. If you are waiting for your green card you already know it. If you have not you will know it soon. Green card is almost invisible for Highly skilled immigrants from India, China, Philippines and several other countries residents, because of backlogs, country quotas, FBI name check delays, Labor Certification delays and backlogs etc. (Some of these words may be new to you. )
Employment based green card for highly skilled immigrant fall in EB-1, EB-2 and Eb-3 categories. Even if you have PhD and university job , you do not qualify for EB-1.
and that is only open category. For Eb-1 you need tenure track appointment at University with several years of experience, around 20 research papers and several international awards etc. Those who apply for Eb-2 or EB-3 or NIW ( national interest Wavier) should not hope for green card in next five years under current situation
This excellent group of people comprising of many bright people from India, China and many other countries around world, is very active in Washington D.C to change the above situation in our favor. Though it was formed in 2006 only it has around 10,000 members. All of them are fighting for our green card.
I urge you to take look at their website. I am sure you will be impressed by the work they have done in last one year for highly skilled immigrants. They have already established strong political contacts and are using lobbyist to pursuer changes in laws in our favor. This is right time for you to get involved with your future green card process by supporting this organization so that they become successful in their mission.
Before you go through their entire website, I want all of you to register just as a member. So that they can increase the strength of organization. You all might be knowing that In Washington D.C every thing works based on two numbers, votes and economical. That is why when you listen any thing about immigration you always listen about illegal immigrants, because they are in large numbers and are related to several others who are potential voters. Business group also favors them because of economical reasons.
So this organization of Highly skilled immigrants also need your support as member, to show law makers that it represent several thousand highly skilled immigrants.
(we don�t need to be in millions !!) So before you go through their entire website just register as member. It will not take more than a minute.
I also want you to visit this web site regularly, so that you are aware of what is going on in Washington DC in your favor or against, in reference to your future green card or US citizenship. I visit this web site ten times a day. They give minute by minute picture of the show in Washington DC when it is Hot. Also you need to be part of their email, meet the law maker and other activities as per your time convenience.
Let me add they are doing all the LEGAL activity which is fully permitted under US immigration Laws. Still if you have any doubt you can call them to clear your doubt.
Also they need what ever financial support you can do to them. I am also the financial supporter for them. I have contributed few hundred dollars and registered as monthly contributor. I want them to succeed for my, your and future highly skilled immigrants benefit. Remember they are fighting for our green card, which will give us several more rights compare to our current immigration status. It is better to contribute to them rather than paying several thousand dollars to the lawyers. Lawyers just fill forms (you need to check that three times before submitting !!!) and never promise to get you anything. This organization, I am sure with your, mine and other members support will get lot of work done in Washigton D C. So that probably you will not need lawyer for your green card application, and it will become very easy for you to file for Green Card. They had done lot more than what they promised. You can dig in to their website for making your self educated about there fascinating work. Let me add the core team which run this volunteer organization has spent several thousand dollars from their pocket to make this attempt successful, They are that much committed to success and final goals of organization.
I personally urge all my friends like you to register as member for this organization and also contribute financially, if you can, for benefit of your self, me, as well as future green card applicants from highly skilled immigrant community.
Thanks for taking time to read this and registering as �IMMIGRATION VOICE� member.
If you register please email me back with your screen name so that I know you tool action on my request.
After reading this and registering, if you feel, this organization is for you and me, please forward this request to all your friends who are either on student or H-a visa and will need green card in future. They need to be part of this important movement for their future benefit.
THANKS

This is a good idea. See my answers in red inside your post
Pappu, thanks for the initiative. I will contribute.
No need to thank. Just show up in DC to community your GC problems to lawmakers. That is a big thank you to IV team in itself for all the time, money and energy we are going to spend organizing this event.
You will contribute for yourself. This advoacy day is for you and your own greencard. It is not a charity to IV. IV is you and me and we are only providing another avenue for each one of IV members to come to DC and tell lawmakers about the suffering they undergo during the greencard process.
I also have another suggestion. Why don't we also do a targeted campaign at partnering with corporate HRs to push for EB relief.
Yes we also want that and need your help and everyone on the forum to help us
Many corporate HRs are aware of the EB2 and EB3 retro pains.
Incorrect. How can they be aware of any pain themselves? Has anyone even approached the senior management asking for help. Raely anyone has done that. And whenever someone has done that and help was offered , we have known. The fact is HR of big companies do not know of any pain. Even if they know of any pain, they will not do anything about it unless their OWN employees tell them about it and ask them to help them by supporting IV. This is not happening and that is the problem. IV is you and me and everyone else on this forum. Not just pappu or core team. Each one of us working for big companies need to gather courage and approach the senior management. It is very easy to comment on the forum and provide big ideas and direction, but I have seen that when it comes to walking the talk very very few have the will or interest to carry out their own suggestion. IV was created precisely for this reason. People were lurking on various forums before IV and hiding behind anonymity. They were scared to do anything and could only hope to GOD , lawyers or whoever could help them. Everyone was throwing ideas at each other and not doing anything. The whole community was screwed and nobody was even willing to even go and talk to the media with their real name, go to DC and talk to lawmakers on their own money and vacation time. People would not even open up to their friends and talk to their friends about green card problems and do something together. This community had to stop living a life of tail between the legs and blaming their fate for their own problems. IV is a platform where you no longer have to complain. Each one of us on this forum has now enough awareness, has seen what we all are capable of doing together in advocacy so there is no reason to not approach our employers.
These corps rely on EB2 and EB3 folks for innovation and technology. Corporations have a lot of power in pushing legislation.
If this is true, what is stopping us try this route?
I am just suggesting to try other channels as well. Corporates being just one.
I agree. Let us try.
Here is a list of some major corporations in the Midwest to start with. Others can add to the list from midwest and other geographies.
Company Mail address
All State 2775 Sanders Road, Northbrook, IL 60062
State Farm State Farm Insurance, One State Farm Plaza, Bloomington, IL 61710
Kraft Three Lakes Drive, Northfield, IL 60093
Walgreens 200 Wilmot Road, Deerfield, IL 60015
Abbott Labs 100 Abbott Park Road. Abbott Park, Illinois 60064-3500
Caterpillar 100 North East Adams Street, Peoria, Illinois USA 61629
Motorola 600 North U.S. Highway 45, Libertyville, Illinois 60048 USA
Eli Lilly Lilly Corporate Center, Indianapolis, Indiana 46285
Address is not of any value. What we need is real humans in our community who can approach their senior management and talk about their plight. If you are really serious about your idea, contact us. We will help you. You can lead this effort by providing guidance and information to other members how to carry out this idea. If you work for a large corporation, you can first try it yourself and lead by example. If you work for a small firm, then you can volunteer by collecting interested people on the forums and coordinating this effort.
The fact is, each one of us is capable of carrying out our ideas if we have the will to do it. This will happen only if we are sincere about this effort and really want to do something about our own greencard. If we all think that simply coming to a forum and posting some ideas or arguing with others over spillovers or predictions is all they can do, then we are all wasting our time, energy and money. There are many other sites out there where you can track your applications to waste your time. Or post unlimited ideas for nobody to work on or just argue with other. None of the people benefit from such sites, except the owner of such sites that make lot of money from the internet traffic or publicity of their legal business or any other business services. The longer this community stays in this screwed state the more money these sites will continue to make. This ignorance of the community is sad and laughable to some extent. If you come to IV and give suggestion, better be serious about what you think and we will help you will all you need to lead your idea on this platform.
