Major reform is "not viable in this Congress," added Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, chairwoman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration. (http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_7437469)
There is also opposition to consider piecemeal options which treat legal immigration reform separately.
I am generally a very optimistic person but not seeing whats really viable this year.
I understand that IV is looking into other angles as well. Once again not sure.
Can IV core comment about what our realistic chances are?

In 2001 when I travelled to India, I paid 1200 to fly NWA. I paid 1000$ in 2008 on Asiana. Very good service. Although airline costs have increased, price of tickets havent increased proportionally.
Agree with the poster, treat airlines like a CAB. If you get good service, you are lucky.

I sent my EAD paper file on 29th May to TSC. I received my EAD's today for 1 year. Cutoff date for 2 year is 30th june.
Wow - Mine also went on the same day. No sign of EAD yet. I wish they handle it next week so that I get 2 years :)
I sent my AP on same date too and I have soft LUD today. Not sure what it means

knowDOL, could you please tell me what comes after the Labor cert. until the Employment Authorization (that will let me work)? Thanks.
I know nothing about the law, but as far as I know today the democrats are trying to pass a bill in which the people living illegaly for over 2 years can apply for temporary working visa that will let their spouses work (nothing wrong with that, just the exclusion of the H-4s as spouses of temporary workers which are the only ones not allowed to work). If they do not get 60 votes today, it passes tomorrow to a compromised bill that it says that if you came to US before Jan 1, 2001 you can apply for the work permit, and the green card later and then the citizenship. If you came between 2001 and 2003 you have to go back and get a work permit and come back, and if you came after 2004 no special treatment. since nobody has included in the ammended bills the H-4s it cannot be discussed tomorrow, but I do not know what is the procedure to get a bill considered and debated, there is a bill that considers the H-4s right to work and it is called TALENT "Through the Advancement of Legal and Educated New Talent.” but who knows if it will get considered.
May be the people from immigrationvoice can let us know what is the procedude to get the H-4s work authorization considered, thanks.

Hi,
Employee of company A accepts an offer from another company B which promptly applies for a H1B transfer premium processing and its approved. Now the employee cannot join company B due to some problem and wants to remain with company A. Does company A need to apply for H1 transfer?
As I understand there will be no need to apply for the transfer again and the employee can continue working for company A. But the tricky part here is what if company B cancels the employees H1 visa seeing the employee did not join its workforce (considering that it just transferred it)?
Can some knowledgeable people please comment on the above scenario please.

My advanced parole is good till October 2, 2009. I have been in and out US 2 times, spent 2 months abroad doing finals in college. Am going to intern abroad, until October 28th.
Q1: What is the best date to reenter the US and renew advanced parole? Do I need to be in the US to renew AP?
Q2: How long do I need to stay in US after sending in my renewal? Do I need to wait the 3 months to get the new parole?
Thank you
AP renewal took only 2 weeks, and actually the approval date is only one week from date of receipt notice, i actually lost about a month from my previous approval. This is at NSC

Everyone makes mistakes. e.g. You are a veteran member (Join Date: Jan 2006) with IV and yet you posted this thread in wrong forum ..!!!
(Immigration Voice > I-485, EAD/AP application, renewal and related > Self-filing, documents, forms, directions, mailing. > Horrible Air India).
Why you expect that others MUST BE PERFECT when you are not? :p
Good observation.... really funny:D:D:D

Main reasons for restrictions in legal immigration are
1. Organised compaign by anti immigrants with data. They proved that H1b persons were paid 20% below the market rate. There is no defence from orgainised compaign by pro immigrants. Pro immigrants gave the statement that shortage of skilled workers but they were not able to give supporting data. Newspaper stories are not enough
2. Reaching h1b cap in 2 days gave negative picture instead of positive. Mostly consulting companies rushed to get h1b without valid job positions
3. Instead of asking reasonable numbers Corporations and pro immigrants asked exemptions in H1b numbers and green card numbers. They want to make sure that unlimited numbers so that they can hire or fire anyone.
4. Immigrants are suffering by backlogs and they are expressed by IV and Lawyers. But that is not enough to justify immigration. That should be justified with real need for welfare of country
5. Before dot com bust even lot of US citizens welcomed H1b persons as there was not much layoffs. But past 7 years layoffs increased to outsource to India,China and other countries. For that they have to hire H1b and L1 persons from Countries mainly India. Those things made anti immigrants hardened their stand. US workers fear that they may lose job if US opens up immigration too much.
6. Some Indian consulting companies exploited the situation by just hiring H1bs not even trying to recruit US workers even if they available. But some Indian companies like TCS,Infosys started hiring US workers nowadays because of shortage of H1b.
H1b persons are considered as best skilled persons so Companies can afford to pay 5000 or even 10000$. Infact H1b persons should be paid 20% above US workers as they are considered as better than US workers. That is the reason for raising the fees by two thirds of Senators
Microsoft was doing effective compaign. Infact they asked resumes from programmers Guild. If many people do realistic campaign instead of opposing anti immigrants that will be easy to reform immigration
I am sure that the tech lobbyist are going to change the rules applied to the H1-B process, because everyone knows the effect of this to the econoomy. I am totally convinced that the strict H1-B rules will be removed.
I am trying to figure out or want to see how or will these tech companies force or lobby to get EB relief.
How important is EB relief for them?
1) they can't hire brains from US universities.
2) they can't hire those who they think would benefit the company but are stuck with their GC process with some other small consulting firm.
I see STEM with advance degree getting relief, the current backlog will not be benefitted a lot (eg. Real hike in EB visas, Removing the country cap). I am not being a pessimist but, I do not see a light in my path. (May be my comments are wrong)
**** Important Note****
After the State Union Speech given by the President to change the Immigration system, we saw a huge applause by all the law makers. So many individual bills in favor of Skill were introduced. Mr Gates, in front of Senate gave a detailed explaination of our problems, we saw few bills after H1-B quota ran out on the second day of the filing date added to the senate judiciary committee.
Our hopes increased after seeing so many favourable documents and media coverage, but what happened in the end.. Illegals were given a very very very easy path to citizenship after breaking the law.They get a relief which we can never imagine will ever happen to us.
Let us say we get the oppurtunity to file I-485 without PD. Increase in H1-B, Increase in EB visas. But still we have to stick to an employer, can't move up the ladder because of the same Labor description needed to be mainain I-485 if we take AC21.
I cannot digest and will never be able to digest that we are not given the oppurtunity to file our I-485 individually and work for any employer.

Text of almost all filed amendments is available in congressional record on Thomas. This one has been available since Friday.
S.A. 1249. Sponsored by Maria Cantwell and co-sponsored by Cornyn, Leahy and Hatch
It creates a parallel merit-based employer sponsored category without touching the existing merit-based self-sponsored category.
The merit based self-sponsored category is the crappy points system. This is in parallel to that, without touching anything in points system. They have created an exact parallel replica of today's EB1, EB2 and EB3 system with labor certification and the whole enchilada where you need employer sponsor and there is not points or anything.
EB1 = 33.3%, EB2 = 33.3% and EB3 = 33.3%. Definiation of EB1, EB2 and EB3 would be the same as it is today.
Total quota of 140,000 with automatic recapture of previous years unused GCs.
Exemptions for US masters and non-US STEM masters with have 3 years experience in that STEM field.The risk factor:
Now, the bad part ... the achilles heel of every high-skills amendment is the tethered H1B quota tricks. They are exempting everyone who has US masters or a non-US master in STEM from H1 quota, effectively making H1 quota = A LOT MORE.
The exact same radioactive provision for H1 quota is also in Lieberman-Hagel amendment 1242.
This will sink both of them unless either there is some inside deal going on that we dont know, or they strike out the H1 issue from this on the floor of the senate at the last minute and be content with H1 quota of 180,000.
the powerfull business lobby have clearly said that they wont support any bill that does not give a provision for us masters exempt. so if they dont get that the bill would sink as the senators supporting the bill cornyn are lobbying for the business community

Why don't we concentrate on state chapters.. that surely makes some big difference. We were able to apply for I-140 and I-485 thats a huge blessing. But do we have enough time to motivate our EB friends to join us and meet the law makers, signing letters etc... If we have many active members we would have achieved something.

I recently sent a letter to the USCIS Director Explaining the problems faced by H4's because the stay in H4 counts towards the H1 time. Just to bring up the matter of Decoupling H1 time and H4 time. May be it was long forgotten in the bureaucracy.
I couldn't find an email address of the USCIS Director, Not even a full Address.
I used the address below. It might reach there or come back to me.
If it reaches there and if I receive a response I will post it.
Emilio T. Gonz�lez
Under Secretary of Homeland Security
Director, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
I read, somebody had contacted ombudsman in this issue, but I feel he is powerless. and can only make suggestions.
Let us hope the decoupling memo will be out... Or better the H4 get allowed to work as the L1s.
The L1 work permit law was passed in 2001 March. Does anyone has any idea which group lobbied for it?
