I would ignore this. Almost all the news articles in this country gave credit to the imimigrants in this country and the Immigrationvoice.org. I did not seen one where they mentioned the USINPAC.

Excellent news.
Now we are getting support from both the parties.
First the State Governors wrote a letter in favor of Legal High skilled Immigrants and now the GOP writes to the Dems in favor of Legal High skilled Immigrants. We can't ask for anything more than this. This is the right time.
We should bang on people like Zoe Lofgren's doors and ask them to create a bill which would only deal with us - Legal High skilled Immigrants. I think all the immigration bills presently on the floor has both legal and illegal immigration and so it would be diificult to pass them. In this present atmosphere a bill on legal high skilled immigrants could easily pass.
Core IV, please look into this and provide directions.

USCIS has specified that they would have processed all the records into a single database by 29th October.
Does this not mean that there could be a forward movement in the Nov bullietin ?
Based on this (although not sure where USCIS posted this date), the DOS wouldn't be able to use that data till the end of October (at the earliest) or early November (likely). Meaning that the December bulletin (issued ~mid-Nov) might be the one to watch for any movement (forward or backward).

Mexico is lobbying for all out amnesty. Their backlog is far lesser .
Mexican PD's from the visa bulletin:
EB3: 08SEP04
Other: 08SEP03
Isn't this far away enough?

bheemi,
I am shocked at your statement after seeing such an organized effort from IV. The only conclusion that I could make is - you are sympathetic to the 'anti-immigrant sentiments' and are out here to create trouble.
Anyways, instead of criticizing someone, please let us know what you have done for the cause.
I am suprprised if IV is working towards abiltiy to file 485 and hard country limit...Just want to know how IV is working towards these 2 items...
If any of these two wont show out in coming bill,..then I would say goodbye to IV..because all other items in bill were there without IV;s interaction....
Can somebody calrify if these options will anyway include in this bill..by means of ammendements...

Hi
please read this
In all cases, the date the labor certification is filed (directly with the United States Department of Labor for PERM applications, or with a State Workforce Agency for RIR applications)
from the wikipedia link
Priority date - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_date)
------------------
Can some one clarify if the PD is based on the day labor application was received or the day it was approved?
My I140 states it as the day it was approved.

Few months back, 2 DMV officers gave me a tough time in CT. I wrote strong complaint and got a reply that, it will be allright if I go again and I went for the 3rd time and got it without hasstles.
Here is what happened
Dear Mr. XXXXX,
This reply is in response to your email of 5/20/06 in which you
describe
the difficult time you have had in obtaining a CT license. Please be
advised that if the documents are not acceptable when you return you
may
ask the Sergeant or Supervisor to complete a form for 'Review of Non-US
Citizen Documents'. In this process copies of your documents are
forwarded to our Branch Operations Division for further review. You
will
be notified of the outcome by mail.
Thank you for taking the time to write and bringing this matter to our
attention.
Sincerely,
Elaine McDougal, Div. Chief

Subject: Documentation for obtaining a CT drivers license
Respected Commissioner,
Ralph J. Carpenter
DMV, Connecticut State
Greetings,
I hope this email finds you in good health and best of spirits.
I am a new resident to the State of Connecticut. I am on a h1b visa
(Skilled worker visa) and have been in the United States for 6 years.
My
employer is based out of Irving, Texas and I am employed fulltime with
them. My company sends me on work assignments to various clients all
over the United States. I recently started on a work assignment at
Pitney Bowes located in Shelton, CT. All this while when I am in United
States, I have worked in the states of Georgia, New York and Washington
and have obtained drivers licenses from all these states. I have
maintained legal status and always carry my documents whenever I
interact with a govt agency like DMV.
From the time I have started my work assignment in CT, I have
approached the DMV twice. Both the times I was turned back saying that
my documentation is not acceptable.
First experience:
DMV, Bridgeport, CT:
Issuing officer wanted a document from my employer that says that I
am still employed with them and have not switched employers. I asked
the
officer polietly if there is anything she is expecting to see in the
document (in terms of information like kind of work, nature of work,
place of work etc...) and she was very kind in explaining to me that
all
she wanted to know was if I actually work for the employer who holds my
visa. I told her that I will come back again with the letter.
DMV, Hamden, CT:
After obtaining a employment letter from my employer I chose to go
to DMV, Hamden, CT because it is close to my home. The issuing officer
looked at all my documents and then told me the employer letter was
unacceptable because it is generated by a computer. I asked him what
document is he actually looking for. He said he cannot accept a
computer
generated document. I was confused. Then he showed me my employer
letter
and told me he cannot accept it because it is printed from a computer.
I
told him it is generated from the computer so whats wrong with
employment letter generated from a printer connected to a computer. I
understood what he was trying to say. He just had concerns with the
validity of my employment letter.
Nothing wrong in having concerns about validity of employment letters.
He was just not able to express that to me. As I have the habit of
carrying all my documents, I showed all my legal documents like LCA
(that I am working in Shelton, CT) , my h1b documents etc... to make
him
comfortable of the fact that my employment letter is indeed valid. But
at this point he just did not want to listen or see anything instead he
kept arguing that this is CT and rules here are different and he would
not see any documents or papers and he only wants an employer letter.
And I told him that is right in front of his eyes. He says he cannot
accept it because it is a computer generated document.
Then I asked him what he really wants? He argued that he wants an
employer letter that is not a computer generated document but a actual
document. Then his collegue came to his resque and told me that he is
actually looking for a document that explains clearly the reason I am
in
CT and details of my work location from my employer etc... I asked him
to write it down in a piece of paper what he actually wants. His
collegue wrote down in a piece of paper that an employment letter
stating my work location as Shelton, CT is what they are looking for
and
I can get my out of state license transfer once I have that document. I
wanted a official letter from the issuing officer stating what they
really want and they were not willing to give me that. So I asked him
again what he wants next time. He said he wants a letter from my
employer that I am working in Shelton, CT and work details etc....
Dear Sir,
There is a lot of confusion over the issue with actual
documentation required. The best thing to do to check validity of h1b
visa holders is to actually ask for recent paystubs and w2 forms. These
forms have employer names and if any H1b visa holder. If the issuing
officer has concerns with documentation validity of a h1b visa holder,
then the best thing would be to have a employment background check done
or look at paystubs and w2 etc... Or specify what kind of letter they
are looking from an employer so that they can be convinced that the
candidate is a valid visa holder.
Though I will be going back to the DMV sometime next week with letter
they requested for, I felt it is my duty to suggest to DMV a good
source
of validity for h1b visa holders.
Dear Sir, Connecticut is one of the most beautiful states I have ever
lived and I am enjoying my stay in Connecticut. H1b visa holders are
skilled workers and we assimilate into the society while we contribute
what we can and work hard to maintain our status and are on a tough
path
to obtaining permanant residency.
Please treat my suggestion as a welcome suggestion and make it fair to
both the employees of DMV and non citizens as to what they or we can
accept and what not.

A recent post asking about how many people have EB2-India PDs of 2003 or earlier had no responses, so I am curious about the potential spread of waiting people (atleast in the sample set of whoever responds to this poll).
RESPOND ONLY IF YOU ARE EB2 INDIA, HAVE FILED 485, AND ARE WAITING FOR APPROVAL.
(we can do separate polls for EB3-I, china, ROW etc)
Yep, looks like prior to oct 2003 all got approved in EB2. Good sign. This poll would give us pending cases for 2004 now.
Please make an entry here. Will help us better predict ( the prediction of USCIS )

I had all paper work ready for PP and were sent to my Lawyer for premium processing of my Sch. A case. But retrogession occured that night in Nov. visa bulletin. So my lawyer advised me that it is not advantageous to go for it unless your date is current. So we did not filed it.
As I remeber you were not ready for premium process. Any reason or justification for rethinking your decision? let me know if you can outline some advatage of PP of Sch. A at this point, or have seen some cases which enjoyed some advantage due to PP very recently.

it is the job profile that dictates whether the case is eb2 or eb3 - the applicant should meet the criteria for the job. not the other way around.
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.
