    Gurus,

    I have a unique position. couple of weeks back I was told that have fatal cancer and won't live pass 4-6 months. After recovering from initial shock I am wondering if my wife will be able to continue her american dream or she will have to head home after me.

    I have filed 485 with approved 140 back in june, 2007 with PD of March, 2003

    Please help.

    Mehul

    I wish you and your family the best . As someone already mentioned miracles have happened and hope that it will be the case in your situation.

    I am in for $100.

    By the way if we have 20,000 members and even if each pledge $5, we can reimburse the core team expenses. How often we have to teach and tell the Math to our so called highly skilled free riders.

    Some should be feeling really guilty for using IV and not contributing till now. Come out the stingy attitude and help.

    Thats because 19,236 members hide somewhere when there are talks about $.
    If some people want to criticize IV same 19,236 members will be first to jump on forums and post messages!

    PS: 19,236 is just a made up number!

    Oct09 VB is awafully disgusting for my EB3 friends. Call of the day -- try out all possible options to improve your chances (EB2, if after so many years you qualify) and INTENSE lobby efforts for recapture by roping in all friendly employers and congressmen. Running away will not improve the lot.......

    Why don't posters on this forum move back to their home country and concentrate on making their home country great instead of slamming into someone else's country and just living off the wealth others have created?

    The bottom line is that a SKIL act is not needed. Hundreds of thousands of American programmers have lost their job to the third world, both in outsourcing and insourcing of third world programmers who work for cheaper wages. There is absolutely no need for more foreigners here and no need for more green cards. Temporary workers are just that - temporary. If you are on a temporary visa, work your time, make some money for your family and head home when your time is up. Don't cry that we don't provide enough green cards when you knew what kind of visa you were on.
    Why don't you move back to Britain or whichever country you or your ancestors came from? Also, a lot of wealth in the US has been created by these people who "slam into someone else's country." So your argument has little validity. Maybe I should not be wasting my time in responding to xenophobes.

    Unfortunately no community is safe from that irrational attacks of racism!
    If you turn on your Hispanic TV networks , nowadays lots of Mexicans are
    blaming Argentinian coach/ naturalized players on Football World Cup elimination!
    Lots of them are demanding that non mexican born people are not allowed neither to coach nor to play for Mexico anymore!:eek:
    Unbelivable!

    Generalizations are dangerous, for your information it is not racism, the fear of foreigners is known as Xenophobia. Argentines are not that much different from persons from Mexico as to their ethnicity and racial composition. Secondly the views of a few angry callers should not get a country labelled for a social ill just as the minute men and some supremacist groups do not make the US predominantly racist. We're loosing the focus here, this is not about this country or that country its about the immigrant community and the challenges we collectively face.

    Yes the core problem is visa numbers. We have been fooled to believe for few days we all are safe and GC retrogression is over without even realizing someone was taking us for nice roller coaster ride.

    Thanks for supporting my view.

    We need media attentoion and legislature help to get the visa number increased,

    PAPPU,

    I think we all understand we are in this together. No doubt.

    A single post from CORE IV can make a huge difference to herd the cattle (including myself) here. For Instance, AILA letter asking for H1B and EB relief today.

    I had posted a modified version of their letter in our forum in which I had deleted asking for raise in H1 and retained only EB part. IF IV core thinks
    this is a good (or a bad ) idea and suggests what to do, our members will be energized.

    For my part, I have added my personal story, added the EB relief part of AILA letter and emailed two senators and one congressman in my state.

    Also, the same letters signed are ready in an envelope to be snail mailed.


    So, IV core, from time to time, when there is a campaign by AILA and other organizations which could help us, please suggest how you would like us to proceed.I am not trying to create more work for you, but as a member, I think it would benefit all of us.

    Thanks.

    __________________________________________________ ___

    Your idea is good and I would encourage you to go ahead and send such letters to lawmakers. Any effort that is in line with IV's agenda and helps us in any way will be helpful to all of us. IV endorsed efforts are listed in action alerts page. If you choose to go and meet the lawmakers we have put together all information for this purpose
    http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=53&Itemid=36

    as a policy we are only focussed on issues faced by high-skilled legal immigrants waiting in line for their greencards.

    When the session starts I am sure based on where the issues are going and after consultation with QGA and within core team there maybe some action alerts that involves contacting lawmakers.

    Your efforts sending letters to lawmakers will certainly help us in raising awareness and preparing groundwork for coming months.

    Where can we find a copy of the document that is used by USCIS to interpret the spillover rules?

    I don't find anything wrong with that, there are more important social issues than spending time on greencard seeker forums......Atleast 1 attorney who explained it elaborately was Ron Gotcher, you can check on his website for that info...
    That is many peoples problems isn't it? They are active on forums, care about greencards, keep abreast on legislative stuff and then once they get greencard they disappear.

    If someone is from USA and they go to your country and live there for five years; they do not have historical context of why things are done the way they are done; no matter how long they research it.

    We'll see when statistics come out. Which lawyers by the way say their interpretation is 180 degrees different?

    How much visas did India get for the period October 1, 2004 to September 2005 (off the top of my head it was 50,000)

    From October 2005 to September 2006 (it was around 10,500)

    For the period October 2006 to September 2007 (someone want tofind it; it was more then 7%)

    October 2007 to September 2008 (to be determined)

    Department of State has been all over the place by changing their interpretation? btw; I doubt with visa movements the way they are that they are establishing country quota of 7%. If they were then that would mean there is only 2,800 people including dependents waiting for greencard in eb2 prior to April 2004.

    So what's your suggestion to fix the issue?

    Since you consider that IV did nothing to reverse July 2 VB, why are you hanging around here? If you credit AILA/AILF why don't you write to them to file Class Action against USCIS to process case FIFO? They might do it or they might just laugh it off


    I would say the reversal of the July 2 visa bulletine didn't just happen because of the flowers the members sent, the law suit AILA wanted to file against USCIS was one of the major reason apart from the California's Lawmakers letter. So please don't try to cut peoples idea by trying to belittle them, if you don't agree with them it is ok, if everyone agreed on the same thing life will be so dull.

    It is indeed ugly and disgusting that anyone who talks of doing good to EB3 ends up getting reds. IV should remember that EB3 members outnumber EB2's by a vast margin and they deserve to get justice too

    And it is not as if EB3's are less qualified. Most are as much or more qualified and experienced than EB2's. It is just an accident they are in EB3, as companies put them there when there was no difference in USCIS policy between the two

    If I continue to see the treatment meted out to EB3's in these forums I would take the decision to quit IV..

    Adjustment Of Status (AOS) Application Submission Laws

    An AOS application can be submitted if an immigrant visa # is immediately available at the time of filing the application.
    An immigrant visa is considered available for accepting and processing AOS application if

    the preference category applicant has a priority date on the waiting list which is earlier than the date shown in VB (or the VB shows that numbers for visa applicants in his or her category are current), and
    (if the applicant is seeking status pursuant to section 203(b) of the Act) the applicant presents evidence that the appropriate petition filed on his or her behalf has been approved.

    The Visa Office (VO) subdivides the annual preference and foreign state limitations specified in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) into twelve monthly allotments. The totals of documentarily qualified applicants that have been reported to VO are compared each month with the numbers available for the next regular allotment and numbers are allocated to reported applicants in order of their priority dates, the oldest dates first.

    If there are sufficient numbers in a particular category to satisfy all reported documentarily qualified demand, the category is considered “Current.”

    For example, if the Employment Third preference monthly target is 5,000 and there are only 3,000 applicants, the category is considered “Current”.
    Whenever the total of documentarily qualified applicants in a category exceeds the supply of numbers available for allotment for the particular month, the category is considered to be “oversubscribed” and a visa availability cut-off date is established. The cut-off date is the priority date of the first documentarily qualified applicant who could not be accommodated for a visa number.

    For example, if the Employment Third preference monthly target is 5,000 and there are 15,000 applicants, a cut-off date would be established so that only 5,000 numbers would be used, and the cut-off date would be the priority date of the 5,001st applicant.

    The Department shall limit the number of immigrant visas that may be issued and the number of AOS that may be granted to aliens subject to these numerical limitations to a number:

    Not to exceed 27 percent of the world-wide total made available under INA 203 (a), (b) and (c) in any of the first three quarters of any fiscal year; and
    Not to exceed, in any month of a fiscal year, 10% of the world-wide total made available under INA 203 (a), (b) and (c) plus any balance remaining from authorizations for preceding months in the same fiscal year.



    How were the above laws followed in the following cases (which may not be a complete list)

    Oct 1 2005 & Oct 1 2006 when .27 * 140K = 37,800 #s available but ALL AOSs were not submittable.
    May 14 (??) when 60K #s were available but many more AOSs were submittable and were submitted from June 1-30.
    June 12 when < 37,800 #s were available but ALL AOSs were submittable.
    July 2 when 0 #s were available and ANY AOS was not submittable.
    Months in 2005, 2006 and 2007 when ALL AOSs were not submittable.
    Months in 2005 and 2006 when ANY AOS was not submittable.
    10,296 GCs were returned on Sept 20 2006 but some (ALL??) AOSs were not submittable.

    What do you mean by "not allow them to work"? Actually AC-21 weaken the case you are mentioning. Since pending/approved I-140 allows extension of H-1 indefinitely, that alone takes your point away.
    .

    By does not allow to work, I meant, restricted in taking other oppurtunities that the person might be eligible to take. Even with AC-21, one is restricted to the field in which one originally applied for EB visa. Actually, because it is indefinite, it makes the case stronger that these people are here indefinitely and so should not be restricted in employment oppurtunities. Being for a temporary period, obviously one can be restricted any way, like say people on visitor visa not being allowed to work.



    When I was on H-1, that time one couldn't extend beyond 6 years, no matter what. Now, case is much different. There are so many working for the employer just on the basis of I-140 alone after 6 years of H1.

    Unfair does not always mean illegal.

    I would say that Social Sec Taxes and Medicare are unfair taxes. Some H-1Bs (read people from India and China) are not treated the same way as citizens, Green Card holders, and othe H-1Bs (read from Western Europe). Since they wont give us GC's.., we have to eventually go home. This implies, no Medicare or Social Sec benefits. Going by a conservative estimate.. there are about 500,000 GC applications in the blackhole for an average of 3 yrs. Each pays on an average $4,200 SC and Medicare taxes. So the state owes us $6.3 Billion... We sincerely request that we be treated fairly and our money be given back to us.. OR.. easy for them, give us GC

    $ 6.3b !!!!! How and where did one get that figure, I am not sure. But I certainly feel SSN money may be considered to given back to H1's who have stayed here for significant number of Years and acchiveing nothing -- GC.

    I feel that is fair request. I hope this becomes a formal request to appropriate Office to consider. What do you guys think on the Forum.

    If Microsoft with all the money and power can't get visa increase, it's naive to assume that we can do that in one shot. Let's just fry the small fish first.

    Well said actually!

    From the past couple of years and efforts it is VERY clear that any kind of Quota Increase is a BIG no no with the Anti-immigrants. This now divides the IV users into 3 groups

    1) This group has already applied for the I-485 a Long time ago but has not seen their GC in the mail yet.
    2) This group has not been able to file for I-485 coz of retrogression.
    3) This group is stuck in Labour Certification stage and cant do anything about it.

    How about for starters if we try and alleviate the pain of people in groups 2 and 3, i.e. ask for people to be able to apply for stage 3 (and ead etc) without the PD mess. For the labour people we ask for a similar benefit. As for group one, well i know that you guys do not benefit under this, but consider this, you are already in a much better situation than the rest of 2 groups. I know you have to go for fingerprinting etc and renew the EAD every year, but consider this: People stuck in LC and stage 2 have to spend much more on renewing H1/H4s coz of lawyer fees. Maybe, if we reduced our demands to asking for 3 things

    a) Filing for stage 3 regardless of PD
    b) Relief for people in the LC mess
    c) Fingerprinting one person just Once (i mean fingerprints dont change do they?)

    This might go under the radar as no quota increase is being asked for. I know this point has been discussed ad-infinitum before and we concluded that no more band-aids for the immigration process, let us get a permanent solution. Well permanent solutions take their time, especially with a Much more powerful lobby opposing those changes. For all we know this permanent solution may NEVER go through. Lets face the facts here:

    1) The big corps are pushing ONLY for H1B increase.
    2) Anti-immigrants are opposed to ANY kind of increase in numbers.
    3) Currently the political climate is such that it is either, deal with legals AND illegals or nothing at all.
    4) Currently FAR bigger problems stand in front of the lawmakers such as the war, stem cell, abortion etc etc etc.
    5) Currently the average American is OPPOSED to even legal immigrants for fear of losing their jobs to them.

    In light of all this, does it make sense to go for a Comprehensive Permanent solution or does it make sense to ask for smaller tid-bits and treat the other costs we incur as "costs of doing business"? I mean atleast if the husband and wife Both have H1bs and jobs, you will still be making a ton of money. U use things like approved I-140s to switch jobs with 3 year extensions or u use the EADs. Let us seriously think about this solution.

    :D it depends on whom you want to send to ?

    When you send flowers EB2-I gets retrogressed No will care if ever we have to send flowers as a united group... Are you going to address that as Eb2-India Retrogressed campaign ?

    are you guys going on the same trail if dates move back and forth ... one month to send and one month to predict "EB2 will be current" and again one month back to worried...

    Support IV dudes... :) and may be you can even update your profile...

    My intention is to say united we stand, divided we fall, which we almost did when everyone discussing here thought of earlier that EB3-I is the only group going to have problems...

    Some one tell where and how to send flowers?:confused:
