The DOS after consulting with attorneys and the Congress has concluded that EB visa numbers should spill over horizontally rather than vertically. Relevent legal clauses addressing this issue were posted by IV members yesterday. DOS now admits it's previous interpretation of vertical spill over (excess visas going to EB-3 ROW) was wrong. Can it be challenged or reversed?, Of course possible but very unlikely to happen in the near future in the next several months.
All said and done, I'll say vdlrao calculations with (sumagiri correction:) look credible.
Can you please post a link?

We have seen in the past years EB3 ROW got huge visa bonanza at the cost of EB2 I & C. And now apparently EB2 I & C is getting rightly deserved visa bonanza.
How about asking DOS to give similar visa numbers to EB3 I & C as a one time exception. I know people will say it is against law, but in my opinion law is fuzzy enough for this to happen.
DOS can give explanations like "Visa numbers will be given to oldest PDs or some thing". Per my calculation EB3 I needs 68K visas to move past 2003.
We (IV) may have to make representation to Secretary of State and try and convince her.

My pledge,
As soon as $10k is reached, I will contribute, $50.
When $13k is reached, I will contribute another $50.
And when $20k is reached, I will contribute another $50.
This, of course, is in addition to the recurring contributions that I already make.
Everyone, please take initiative in this effort.
We spend thousands of dollars and years waiting for our green cards, why is it so hard to realize that this is only to help ourselves?.
These contributions are more or at least as important as our car payments, mortgage, or educational loans. This effort will only ensure (by giving us our well deserved GCs) that we can stay here on a permanent basis and not have to be sent back home (or is it really home?, for so many of us who have spent close to a decade or longer, here) at the slightest disturbance in the economy.
I hope you will make the right decision.
Thanks and regards,
Oh, and can someone please PM me when these targets are reached (just in case I forget to check this thread) so I can make the pledge I promised to make.

Not so fast buddy. We are not on forums 24/7
The thread was posted last night and how can you expect instant reply.:D
In future if someone wants to reach us if you have any question, it is better to directly contact us rather than posting on the forum as we do not read every post.
A couple of people who got the letters have already emailed us and let us all review the letter to see if we are getting what we need from this request. Let us all agree if we want to pursue this and contribute towards this. Once we have enough people, we can go forward.
This is one of the positive steps that we have taken here and glad that we got the response from CIS. So now IV needs to get expose this letter as public as possible to get the USCIS tactics out (senate, congress, president, dhs head and all in the world). And if need be that we all need to contribute to the money they are asking. This is the good one.

I hear you, needhelp! I think every single chapter leader has felt this at some point.
I would like to clarify - anything beyond 0 minutes late is rude. I have a management position in my job, and if that happens at a meeting i'd set up professionally, they get a verbal lashing from yours truly.
It is highly disrespectful
Well said Franklin!
Needhelp!
I not only hear you but I have been there too. (I guess most of the volunteers have.)
First of all, people need to realize IV's cause is THEIR cause, nobody at IV is volunteering to gain publilcity. IV is WORKING TO SAVE YOU FROM living on the edge and spending hours tracking bulletins and EAD renewal deadlines and receipt notices!
If you don't realize this, may God help you!
Unless you have some disorder which prevents you from looking beyond 2/3/4 years, you REALLY should be joining hands with IV so that we all are "free" at the end of those 2/3/4 years!
If you just can't spend any time volunteering, then at least don't RSVP for such meetings! You know you would be fired if you did this at work.

Just I485:
Isn't just I485 receipt enough -
c. If you are an applicant for adjustment of status, a copy of a USCIS receipt as evidence that you filed the adjustment application
( (a) AND (b) ) OR (c)
+ Photographs:
...or if you are in the United States and filing for advance parole document.
You must submit two identical color photographs of yourself taken within 30 days of the filing of this application.
(Photo spec on page 5 of http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-131instr.pdf)
Alongwith I131 and US$305
Note: When I filed EAD, I didn't do over documentation (refer to http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18737). In case of AP also overdocumentation should not be required.
I am not sure what you mean...

I have been thinking about whether to attend the rally or not from past few weeks.
Attending the rally would require me to take a day off. Finally today without thinking twice I just went to my manager asked if I can take day off on 9/18 instead compensate the work in the following saturday. It was approved and I am attending the rally on 9/18!
I am feeling so good now.

Again, Thanks a bunch Desi3933. My case is pretty much same as 'Scenario 1' in this Murthy document.
Desi3933 cleared the 99% of the cloud surrounded this issue by pointing to murthy.com (I maintained valid status with 'Employer #2' and this doc says I am good to go). Thank you very much Desi3933.
Apologize for extending the topic....but one of the 'still open' question is what if the Second Employer H1B is 'NEW' and what if it is 'Transfer'.
Murthy document does not say about the Company B H1B is NEW or TRANSFERRED.
If New H1B and Transferred H1B are same....then problem is solved.
Many of you here said both are same. I assume so too. But, we haven't proved Gapala is wrong yet (no hard feelings gapala. it is not my intention to hurt you). if 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are different, Murthy should have mentioned in her Document, but she did not do that. So, can we safely assume, that 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are same.
Thank you everyone who responding to my post.
Come on man....there is nothing called transfer. Every H1B is new. Only thing is its not counted against the cap when you change the employer.

buddy I dont know if you watched chris matthews last night interviewing many dems who won. Several mentioned immigration reform as part of their mandate
I watched msnbc throughout and every dem interviewed mentioned immigration reform. I do not think in public speeches Nancy and Hillary mentioned imm.
The thing is with the new majority, we should see some activity on imm as a whole.

Just a question, why is everyone so happy that the CIR has Failed and more importantly why does everyone on here feel that if CIR is resurrected it will "haunt" us?
If CIR fails to go into "production" this year, is it not true that we have ZERO reform? I mean would it not be better to ride this wave and try and sneak our provisions into the mix rather than SIMPLY feeling happy that CIR is "dead"?
At this point (even after the PD movement), About 70% of us are still in the retrogression mess and will continue to be in that mess till SOME immigration reform passes. So the question then is: Should we not be trying and praying that CIR passes WITH our provisions (and i know how hard the core team is working and hence i am asking this question). I mean the core team has given an infinite amount of time and energy to this project. Would it not be easier to see a bill finally pass and try and get our provisions in this bill rather than killing this bill?
It is good that it got killed. The current state of the bill was not CIR, it is CIIR. Comprehensive illegal immigaration reform. It was not going tp do any help to legal immigrants but hardships.

See the bold text. Because the bill is yanked out, amendments are added to the bill and now it is going to be put back as a new bill.
http://www.heritage.org/Research/Immigration/2007legislation_2.cfm
The Senate's Second Secret Immigration Bill
by The Heritage Foundation
FYI
For weeks, Americans were told that there are only two options for dealing with the nation's illegal immigration problem: stay with the status quo or accept a "grand bargain"--a tenuous behind-closed-doors deal, first made public by The Heritage Foundation, which contained nearly 800 pages of flawed policies. In the face of overwhelming criticism from all sides, this legislation was withdrawn from the Senate.
Now, an altogether new bill (S. 1639) has been introduced by Senators Ted Kennedy and Arlen Specter. It seems to incorporate the previous legislation, with some amendments. After it is read into the Senate calendar on Wednesday, the Majority Leader will be able to proceed to consider this legislation anew at any time; debate is likely to follow later this week, with a final vote very soon thereafter.
This schedule will afford lawmakers even less time for consideration and deliberation than they had before. It will deny them the various procedures long associated with America's deliberative lawmaking process--hearings, testimony, committee debate and amendments, floor debate, and the possibility of further amendments. Instead, according to reports, this legislation will proceed based on an altogether new and expedited procedure designed for the sole purpose of forcing the bill's many ill-conceived policies over legitimate minority objections.
As it has before, for the sake of open deliberation and public education, The Heritage Foundation is making this legislation publicly available to encourage widespread debate and discussion. Heritage Foundation analysts will be reading this legislation and considering its implications--as will everyone outside the confines of the narrow group that conceived it--as quickly as possible.
So if this bill is introduced as a new one with a new bill number, does that May 15th provision still stand? Or is it now gonna be June 19th ?

I did not go to DC because i did not want to get the green card this way.I grew upwatching aunts,uncles coming from USA bearing gifts.I grew up watching cousins go for USA for higher studies.It used to be so special. Now its become so cheap. Now you guys have literally taken it to the streets. There's no difference between those illegal immigrants and us. This H1visa has ruined it for really smart students who come here on F1 with full scholarship.
This software industry and these cheap bodyshopping companies made it nothing more than a whore business.
My heart is broken. I dont care anymore.thats why i did not come to DC.
That sums it all up, you did not want to go to D.C because you did not want to stand up. You wanted G.C where only just you were allowed to come in and then just magically get a green card. If you are venting against companies that is one thing, if you are complaining about passionate and hard working members, we will stand up against you too!
We stood up for our pain and we will stand up against you too. Compete and empower yourself with knowledge, don't be a protectionist that feel only you have the right.Keep your ego aside and wake up and think. We are fighting not just for us but also for the spineless egotistical kinds that think that doing something about a broken system is below their standards. Keep watching out the window, when we make HISTORY. Keep standing in the side lines and crib when we progress. If there were people like you back during our grandfathers and great grand fathers time in India, we would still be living as SLAVES. The only thing good about your point of view is this, IT MAKES US HAVE AN EVEN MORE STRONGER RESOLVE TO FIGHT FOR YOU TOO!

I'm not sure about the assumption that IEEE/US is anti-immigration group. They have lobbied for the PACE act in Senate and STEM act in the house: http://www.ieeeusa.org/policy/issues/innovation/index.asp
Both of them are for skilled immigrants. I cannot imagine that they will sabotage SKIL bill.
Yep. My impression is that IEEE USA is anti H1b, but it supports EB visa. For those who rail against desi consulting firms, IEEE USA is the friend, not the foe.
