Dude .... before you start bashing Dems ... they did NOT vote against the amendment.... they voted against the Budget Act waiver, Thanks best_mode for your clarification ... it makes sense ..
Just wait.
Once I become the citizen I will work on defeating these Senators that voted against SKIL.
If you met any of these senators and at that time they showed hollow symapthy to you, it is time to go and meet them and hold their feet to the fire. Tell them how they lied to you and how you are disappointed.

nevermind....i am preaching to the choir. And why do you think the White House was in touch with Immigration voice leaders and not with some corporate lawyers during the July 2nd fiasco if they did not recognize the strength and commitment of the skilled immigrant community and btw what makes you say 'july 2nd will never happen again.' what are you? God?

The AP is truly an amazing conundrum. I will try to clarify.
1. When AP is filed, you need to be in the US. No if's and but's about that.
2. If AP is used at the border for entry, it DOES NOT invalidate your H1. Only using EAD to switch jobs does that.
3. Lets assume you have an AP valid till Jan 1. You apply for new AP on Oct 1. However, you need to travel on Dec 25. Now there are two scenarios:
3a) you return on Dec 30 - you can use your old AP as it is still valid. The fact that you have applied for a new AP and left the country DOES NOT abandon your new AP because your old AP is still valid.
3b) You return on Jan 3 - You need to have the new AP in hand.
If there are any more questions on AP, please feel free to PM me :)
Thanks

Whenever an attempt to increase visa numbers is made a budget point of order can usually be made. So, you will need 60 votes to amend the law.
"Before every one starts to bash Hillary : this is what someone on IV posted regarding Senate floor Amendment 2339... and now it sort of makes sense:"
Not really. Senators voted against this because they opposed the underlying amendment. The Democratic opposition stems from the facts that the amendment proposed to re-capture from all categories and then re-distribute accordingly to a Republican preference. For instance EB-3, numbers re-captured didn't all go to EB-3. The amendment gave 61,000 to Schedule A and then re-distributed the rest equally.
A much fairer, simpler and permanent solution is to simply rollover the unused numbers to next years numbers.
I believe there is around 300,000 unused visas from previous years. Even if 61,000 visas are gone to Schedule A, we would have got the remaining 240,000 visas. Imagine they are not even ready to pass the amendment which gives relief to Schedule A(extremely shortage workers) as well as employment catagories, think about the chances if the amendment stands only for employment catagories.

This can create fights amoung us. This is like divide and rule.. It did work in the past,. so we must make these guys do EB2 and EB3.
BUT they bring some very good points.
EB3 will go nowhere unless we act. Very Correct.
They want to do something and looks like decided with a plan.
There is a chance many EB3 Indians getting influenced as they too dont see any hope and there is nothing happening from IV in last 1 year except one or two in last 1 week.
Writing to service centers is a new idea even I didnt get so far.
So are we seeing these guys very soon in white.,. lets see.

There are 3 work categories,
at least 3 queues each for three stages.
the first queue had at one time, rir, regular and then bec, perm added to the mix.
EB portings.
07/07 havoc
name check delays.
a single queue at the end.
bottomline, PD monthly graph is arbitrary.
if your PD remains current for at least three months in a row and everything else is clear, there is good chance you are out of the pipeline.
I wish but my assumption is that One's PD have to be current atleast 6+ more months then there is a good chance for an approval, other than that we have to depend on our Luck ( I think we can predict the Powerball or Megamillion winner much easier than USCIS process)
I wish your case would have been approved long ago, Your signature tells me that - EB2- I PD Dec 2003, and your PD was current for a while but still no luck.
Let us hope the best

...but I am one real unlucky individual !
You create your own luck, my friend!! God is not working against you or anybody else.
Very unexpectedly, just last year in a hospital, the doctor told me that unless I get operated ASAP, there is not much chance for me to live. As I was still trying to digest that news, I was thinking...
***k the Green card. ***k my job. I just want to live few more years until my son grows to at least 18 (he was just 1-and-a-half at that time).
And I really laugh about the whole incident now. And when I see others vent or getting upset about something, I can't help but get a smile. Because I learnt the hard way that we never appreciate what we have got and always complains about what we haven't got.
It's New Year time!! Enjoy and cherish your presence. And forget about the job/visa for a day or two.

If you work for a good company - buy one. If your job is dicey, don't.

Franklin,
We have members from all over the world. And as far as EB-3 is concerned the entire category retrogressed -- all countries. We feel that this is a problem that affects all highly skilled workers.
One thing to remember is that reporters take snippets from hours of interviews, and then their editors edit the article down further.
best,
Berkeleybee
Hi BerkleyBee
I totally understand that reporters may skew facts to their specific needs and know first hand that the EB-3 category is retrogressed across all nationalities. I am one of your members that is not from either background mentioned.
I was responding to a post on this forum (and not the press in general) that implied that this issue affects people from specific ethnic backgrounds, which is false.
I do have a general issue that people seem to forget that.
I applaud all core member efforts, however negative this post seems.

it may be so in some scenarios - but i'm not sure if thats the rule rather than the exception. but then again - i'm speaking from my limited experience in this area, which does not include a consultant position (have always been a full time employee), and could very well be wrong about how this works in the consulting world.
my intention is not to preach - just bringing up what i've been told and have read on IV regarding the letter and spirit of the law around filing - and that the OP should be aware of this before deciding on a course of action.
Sure. h-1b is now; labor is what you are going to do when greencard gets approved.
try telling a consultant who is qualified for eb2 that the job dictates it is eb3 and they won't sleep or eat -:).
Reality of the process and how it works is quite different. If you really wanted to pick on things; DOL assessment of education and experience dictate that all of the IT positions should not require more then bachelors and four years of experience (ever IT labor filed with eb2 requirements it to be answered that the job requirements are NOTnormal for the positoin.
If companies don't want to file eb2 then employee will not stay (they cannot fathom waiting 10 years for greencard).
Maybe people don't want to hear this but that is reality of the situation.

Who said the position must be in zone V only to qualify for EB2?
For the position to be qualified for EB2 it must require MS. For position requirements to be considered "normal", they must fit into the respective zone in terms of SVP level. As I learned from my bitter experience, though offficially for a PERM to be approved the requirements don't have to be "normal" (if they are not, you just need to supply the "business neccessity" letter), it looks like the current PERM's software just doesn't have such possibility "in mind" and automatically denies the application if the total education plus experience requirements exceed the SVP level for the zone corresponding to the position. You will get a denial notice which will blatantly claim something like "By answering YES to question H-12 you have attested that the requirements are normal, but the total SVP level exceeds the normal level for this position..." even if you have answered NO to that damn question! Therefore I don't recommend to exceed "normal" SVP level for the corresponding position code.
However, if a suitable code falls under zone IV, nobody (except for emplyer himself maybe) can prevent the employer to require, say, MS plus 2 yrs of experience. And it is within "normal" SVP level for zone IV, and it does qualify for EB2 (because it requires MS).

I have been in USA from 2000 and have been waiting for GC from 2004. Finally last year decided to buy and bought one. When I bought my house my kid was in 3rd grade, decided not to compromise on his education and bought a house in good school district.
All depends on personal situation. I am not considering house as an investment, just a place to live.
:)
exactly my thought... you almost stole words from my mind :-)
if i have to return to my country because of the immigration bs, it's this country's loss and the lender's loss - not mine. I did everything that I could... like an ideal citizen would do... and after all that if they want to kick me out, well then goodbye.
Also one thought (on an unrelated note, sorry!) - I see a lot of people on the forum posting about how they finally got their GC's after 10, 12, 15 years. I am really happy for them. Having said that, its not a matter a pride that people have to wait for so long to get GC. In fact it's a matter of shame! And by the way before anyone pounces on me, I take care of all action items that IV recommends :-) I am just saying that I feel bad when people have to wait for 10-15 years for their GC. My opinion is (coming back to our discussion) - I base none of my decisions on my GC process. I bought a house, decided to take a student loan to go back to school, changed my job and hopefully if all goes well, may even take a promotion pretty soon. GC my kiss my you know what. The process will go on on the side, but it won't affect my life in anyway.
Bottom line - whateva whateva, I do what I want! (for any South Park fans here)... haha..
Sorry about blabbering! Chao!

Sorry to hear this. Regarding medical insurance, your company has to offer you COBRA..you will end up paying almost twice the premium that you have been paying so far, but it would still be better than you footing the delivery charges (10k - 25K). Continue CORBA atleast till the deliver and post-partum - for as long as possible..
Terminating you in your ninth month pregnancy is probably against the law, i think if you can prove it, you might be able to sue your employer, check your local state laws..
Good luck..!

This whole discussion is really silly... I'm glad IV leadership is not self centered, atleast from what i see they think about the community on the whole.
Lets put all these fruitless arguments to rest... the ROW vs India/China, Nurses vs Others, EB1 vs EB2 vs EB3!
I'm EB3 India and I have no one to blame but me for being in EB3 (I'm certainly qualified to be in EB2 but I chose to stick around with the same company for the very reason we all are here on this forum... i.e GC)
For those who think its unfair... rather then sulking about it... do something and move to EB2 if you cant wait any longer... or at least support IV in their efforts.
