Another CIR drama prior to November election..
Yes it kind of feels that way. And see the history - in 2007 CIR they wanted to reduce annual visas for employment categories. Slowly they start adding more tidbits for legals to get things passed. There is still a disadvantage for new H1s, L1s.
What if we do it the other way around? Grant immediate GC to all waiting on EB visas. Subject all illegals to probation rules till they are all validated by the FBI in 10 years. currently illegals identified are sent to detention, and some are put on electronic monitoring.
Let them compete with American citizen labor at American wage levels determined by the govt. Similar to how H1b wage is determined.
EB categories have per country limit, same for labor to preserve diversity. No favoritism.
We should also try to get our bill added to DREAM, as an alternate The army would like it, as DREAM provides a path for illegals to join them to get legal status.
DREAM is an attempt to get illegal college students legal. Their situation has minor similarity to us, but most EBs have many years more training, experience.

Well I really think this is reasonable suggestion to factor Priority Date to determine eligibility for citizenship. It could be 5 or 10 years past your priority and only after approval of green card. Currently many people wait for 8 to 10 years for green card and another 5 years to be eligible for citizenship and some lucky ones get green card in 2 to 3 years and citizenship in another 5 years. System should somehow be balanced to have close to uniform wait times towards citizenship for all.
Valid point. what ever it is, if you live in this country as a legal immigrant or non-immigrant for 10 years and paid taxes continuously for 10 years, automatically it should lead to Citizenship.

Yes..it has slowed down noticeably.
I guess due to this long weekend.
I guess half the USCIS officers are vacationing @ Bermuda :D
You guys noticed that the approval rate has really slumped on for EB3 ROW?

They retracted number of times in the past.
Good intentions, but have to re-check what they post before posting.
Cannot believe a Law firm would do such mistakes....but it's a fact.
But I really pray, they are right this time (Though our in-depth analysis says otherwise)
i also doubt this. Has this website posted wrong information before?

Logiclife,
I came to know from my company's attorney that this is my company policy NOT a USCIS policy that i must go back to IL (where Labor was originally opened) and then only my company will file I-485 for me
Oh well!

If you do so, local people will treat you the same way they treat illegal. after all the agitation and rally it created a negative sentiment for the illegal. So not a good idea. If we do somthing it should give result, not to create stir among public

Cool. nice to see the pics. Now I know who I am talking to.

The worst injustice USCIS committed was setting up Backlog Elimination Centers and letting an incompetent contractor handle the cases slowly. Elaine Chao must be fired for incompetence and indifference just like Brown was fired for Katrina bungling.
Brown (and Bush administration) don't care about AMERICANS (well, mostly poor blacks but Americans anyway...), while Elaine Chao and her great team don't care for immigrants. Who gives a damn?! She may even get a promotion for this screw up, forcing some immigrants to give up and pack back.

Hi,
My priority date is Dec 05 (EB2 India) and my case is with TSC. I got approval emails for myself and my son (we both are derivative of the I-485 application filed by my wife) two days back but my wife's I-485 application is still pending.
Is it normal that derivative applications are approved while that of the primary applicant is pending? Should I follow-up or wait for couple of more days? Anyone in the same situation?
Any input will be appreciated.
Thx.

Where is famously liberal "lion" Kennedy in all this. He is the counterpart to Lofgren. When you are the chair of the subcommitte on Immigration you are supposed to be a leader on these kind of issues. Really disappointing.
Are you kidding ? Check out the CIR.
Did you not call his office during the CIR days & get crestfallen at how little they cared for Legals ?

Hello Guys,
For the next few months, we can either point finger at others (EB3 to EB2 and EB2 to EB1) or we can think through and come up with some solution for everyone. I don't know if pointing finger will help, but thinking and trying MIGHT. Do you guys think we should do that instead of looking at how guys are misusing EB1 ?
Flowers, some "public gathering and march", etc...

Perhaps the membership, with its slow response, is sending a message that core group is wasting its time doing all this and we should shut down and go on with our lives. If that is the case, then that is fine too. All these efforts of maintaing the website, travelling to DC, maintaining the relationship with our lobbyist and a half a dozen allies....all this takes time and energy. If we dont have support then I guess the core group is the most idiot group of half a million highly skilled immigrants wasting its time.
Folks, an emotional outpour from our leader. It is very sad that it has come down to this.
I have been here as organizer of Indian Student Association (ISA). Based on the response, every day I wondered if I want to do it. To this day, I regret all the time I spent for ISA. IV core is spending much more time and energy.
Please don't post idiotic opinions/questions. We all know that we don't have a strong legistlative position and it is rough life for us. IV core should not be giving explanations at regular intervals. There is nothing to explain. All decisions are not for debate. Some of the opinions/questions are very depressing.
IV core is doing a very good job under the circumstances. IV members don't realize what they have.
All members who have paid less then $200 should pay a total of $200. It is not fair for some persons to be in the $400 range and other persons paying $20. I don't know how you can enforce it. I could not enforce it when I met all persons 10 times a day.
I just paid $200. $20/month is not the answer. Money will be needed in the next 2 months.
If you have paid less then $200, pay the f***ing money.

Hi,
My 485 petition is with NSC. I opened an SR last month and got a rather uninformative response today. It does not tell me if my petition has been pre-approved or has even cleared the background check.
"
The status of this service request is: Your file is currently with the adjudications department, waiting on the availability of an officer to be assigned your pending case. Please allow at least another 90 days to hear something further on your application.
"
I think last month they were not working on Feb 06 cases and probably they have assigned your case to a officer by now ...just pray and hope to see approval soon

I wont never want to be a US citizen anyways. GC is all required. are you kidding me. why would you want to be a citizen here anyways.
two reasons
one, to vote, exercise a democratic principle, you can't complain about the government unless you actively participated.
two, I have 3 kids, and it's likely they'll stay here, my 12 year olds were 3 when we first arrived. My lawyer highly recommended we consider citizenship after another client had challenges. Despite good parenting this guy's kids got into trouble with the law, to the extent that they had their green cards revoked and they were in deportation process. However had they been US citizens whilst there were consequences they wouldn't have their citizenship revoked.

Subject: Update on July Visa Availability
We are hearing from multiple sources that, on Monday or Tuesday of next week, State Department plans to issue a revised Visa Bulletin for July 2007.
This revised Bulletin would retrogress some or all of the employment-based
categories, very likely to the point of unavailable.
"multiple sources".....sounds classic rumor to me.
Reports from AILA
members about unusual levels and types of activities by USCIS indicate a
particular push to adjudicate employment-based adjustments currently in the
pipeline so as to exhaust visa numbers for fiscal year 2007.
I've read this statement several times...how does this indicate that there will be retrogression??? Also one unusual acitivity of USCIS has been to suspend premium processing of I-140 for the month of July. That to me suggests that they are preparing for the deluge of I-485s.
This follows the actions of USCIS in June, when it began rejecting EB-3 "
Other Worker" adjustment applications even though the Visa Bulletin showed
an October 2001 cut-off date, on the basis that the "Other Worker" numbers
for the year had been exhausted.
Again...aren't the mechanics, numbers allotted to this other worker category different from EB-2,3?:rolleyes:
