Called all of them, only Representative Ciro Rodriguez office told they will not support the bill...:mad:. others told they will pass the message...
Then I guess IV reps should have one on one with this senator.
Also I recommend all of us calling and requesting/convincing this senator!

First, My LC PD is May 2001 (Yes. May 2001 no typo). RIR remanded to NON-RIR pushed to BEC and stuck there with no recruitment instructions(RI). Obviously that is not only labor I filed but the 2001 labor is the one I'm counting on and mess I'm in is a separate story.
To the topic, folks with later PD able\elgible to file for i485 IS UNFAIR but that is not a result of their action and it is USCIS's fault. So directing the anger towards them IS UNFAIR. Senthil mentioned how RIR was unfair to ppl on NON-RIR. Glad you brought it up because we all know this GC process at every level is so screwed up that nothing makes any sense. At least to me. If you get through to next stage it is seems like a mini-miracle!
One more thing, PD does matter and members do not attach their PD as a signature for no reason. It does not matter a dime if the visas are available i.e it is CURRENT. PD only comes into picture(in I485) when the dates are retrogressed and backlogged. Of course in such scenario PD is HUGE. So it only works in favor of ppl like me if the GC is retrogressed but wishing such a scenario or advising such a scenario would help me is just plain foolish. What we have in our hand(too many i485 going forward) is a humongous problem. In 6 months or later it is gonna loom large and is gonna hurt us very badly if we do not do anything. That should be one of our the main action item and we should seek a way to solve it(recapture etc...)
Rejoice when you get your GC, this Aug 17th development is just a relief for stressed out souls(some). We've won a battle not the war.
Lastly, Please direct you reply to original poster and STOP GENERALIZING certain groups as BEC Folks (i.e BEC folks are insensitive) No one is a spokesman for people stuck in BEC nor should one posters view should be construted as the views of the large. I'm seeing insensitive posts on both sides of the fence. Let us stop spewing hatred by posting our knee jerk reactions.
Let's stop venting and see what we can do. We all know, if everyone was just venting the Aug 17th development would not have happened. So let's act and see what the possibilities are moving forward.

This is actually a very good idea. Maybe not 10% even 25% is fine.
This way microsoft, oracle etc. can get their workers.
Even Deloitte, PWC they hire americans and pay you when you're on bench.
Unlike most indian consulting companies, which don't pay you when you're on bench and make you lie on your resume.
The only and simple way to stop H1B abuse is to allow only max 10% non-immigrant (H1, L1, TN etc) employee in a company. Rest 90% have to be Green Card or Citizen. These desi consulting, Indian big companies must be hving at leaset 90 % employees on non-immigrant status.
Simple and universal rule that will solve all the H1B problems

It was introduced by Kennedy to amend an unfriendly amendment from Jeff Sessions, but its only registered on Thomas. It has not passed and its not a part of the bill that passed the Senate today. It was not even debated.
This is what happened:
Kennedy submitted SA 180(about immigration) in response to amendment SA 143(text unavailable) introduced by Jeff Sessions. Its a parliamentary spat (tit for tat) and eventually both were left untouched. So it can be on thomas, but it has not passed.
Thanks for being alert, but please be careful about such things. Not everything that is on Thomas becomes law or is even debated.

All,
I have been trying to enquire about the status of my passport application. I tried all different tel numbers listed on the website. Nobody picks up !
Did anyone call CGI-Houston recently ?
If so please provide the number. Thanks !
.
I had similar situation recently. I tried calling CGI houston several times with the nos. listed on the website and no human would answer. If you are homesick, these nos are perfect to give a call. It would just play you a long Indian Classical music over and over again. My ears were still ringing with the music after the call, you can imagine how many times I had called!
Once I was lucky to get through, but not for much help. If anyone picks ups by chance, they would be rushing you like anything and refer you to consult the website.
It is amazing!

I am little confused. As your wife is already in legal status (h4) till 09/2007, why do you want another extension when you switch job? As far as I know (I had similar situation in 2003), you can transfer your H1 to new employer and before her H4 expires, apply for extension with your new H1B (it may not be required even as she has already applied for H1). Once, I did exactly same when I switched job and I didn't had any legal problem with my wife/daughters' H4 extension.
Still I suggest you consult an attorney.
Best of luck.
Yes this is true. I changed employees. but i didn't apply for my wife H4. because it is still valid. I was thinking to apply for her extention 4-6 months before it expires.
to be confident just spent 100-200$ for counselling with immigration lawyer and he will give you the same advise.

There are just too many fond memories to share in one post... but I do want to specially thank leo2606 who drove 70 miles to pick up myself, venkygct, vsraja and punjabi at the Dulles airport and then took us out for breakfast, then to the rally venue, then for lunch, finally to a hotel room we had booked for a quick shower, basically... like a shadow he was with us wherever we wanted to go! And... whenever we thanked him (and gdhiren who co-ordinated pickups/dropoffs for many others like the 4 of us) these guys, instead of saying something like "You are welcome", would profusely thank us for flying in!
Its people... like leo2606 and gdhiren.. and many others are the true strength of IV!

Abhijit, great idea you brought your guitar along. It was good to hear some nice music at the rally. Thanks to you and Arun for driving & coordinating the sponsorships. Some good volunteers came out of that effort.

Spillover is not going to help EB3-I much.
I read on some posts that an executive order may be sufficient to recapture lost visas.

To all EB3 members whose PD is current:
Monday is the last day. If you don't get your GC approved, you got to wait for at least 7/8 months before they start moving dates forward. Beginning of each fiscal year, the dates are generally very conservative.
And for ROW EB3, if the bill passes to eliminate country quota, you will be getting your GC in not less than 5 years from now which you could have get it if your f**ing attorney/company would have file it 7 days earlier! Big time screwed! I am one of them!
We are really missing the boat..till Oct'08 FY09 starts..:(
waiting continues....it became routine..

Even if you succeed in changing the law and change interpretation of spillover, you won't see much difference in wait for GC.
Only EB3 folks who have PD in 2002, 2003 may greatly benefit by this. Rest of EB3-I will have to wait for atleast 5-6 years.
We should instead concentrate on Visa recapture.
I am not trying to hijack this thread or dampen your efforts. Just trying to infuse some sanity here.

I guess a good solution could be. Have a cap for Non-US Masters H1B
and unlimited numbers for US Masters.
This way IEEE gets their way in getting US grads to stay here.

Makes sense, like the idea of abolishing the waiting period for GC.... but with all due respect i belive that will never happen esp in a post 911 era where there is a lot of checks. I belive if they put the name check process in a fast track it would be benificial. Suks that we have to wait another 5 years after getting GC to get Citizenship, if anything i would think counting 5 years after 485 is logical.
I think we should not talk about abolisihing waiting time for citizesnhip (after GC) and no one as I see talking that.
Most of us are talking about REDUCING waiting time for Employment based GC holder, who is already here for several years.
Most practical thing might be to make it Similar to Marriage based Citizenship where you just have to wait for 3 yrs after GC.
So we can Request for reducing citizenship waiting period from 5 to 3 years for employment based GC holders who had paid atleast 5 years in the Federal taxes ( to preserve orignal intent of 5 year for family based GC holders waiting period for citizenship) , Have MS or Higher degree in STEM field ( Last time they tried to reduce one year for any one who can study and learn english) , Can pass Background Check and Moral Standards ( that is must for security purpose).

Congrats to all the lucky ones. Enjoy the green freedom. Wish you all the best for your bright future and long life
Best Wishes to all the hopefuls.
I am in waiting game. Hoping against hope to go green.
BTW, today I treid calling USCIS. First the 1st level representative spoke and she straightway created a SR for me and my daughter. Once she finished that part Politely I asked her to transfer to an IO. Luckily without any wait call got connected to an IO. Had very brief conversation with him. He was fixated on my EAD being valid till August 2010, so according to him I don't have to worry about. But I persisted with my line of questions like current status, whether it is pre-adjudicated?, whether all clearances are done etc. Only thing he replied was "Your Case is in REVIEW". I asked him what does review means. His answer was review means review. Our conversation stopped there.
What do you guys think on "Your case is under review"?
