This is like telling passengers to move to the other side of the boat when it starts sinking one side. The outcome is only making the boat sink faster. Remember, the huge backlogs are not completely due to unavailable visa numbers.
Unless there is a real need, moving from EB3 to EB2 dont make much sense.
Do not agree with this. This is not a fair analogy.
Nobody is saying IV should stop efforts for administrative and legislative fixes.
If someone has an option to switch to EB2, he/she should definitely try it.

I just called and was asked for names and comments. I told her my personal experience: came 10 years ago, worked 5 years, approved I-140 2 years ago, stuck in the queue, working as a scientist at Stanford University, and can not apply fund and have difficulty attending international conference. She asked the state I am from. I strongly urge TX members to call. It is very easy.

This is certainly good news for many. However the skeptic in me is feeling very uneasy. Why did they suddenly open the flood gates? Did they purposely create a backlog and then increase the fees (double the fees) just in time? Are we going to face other issues down the line after applying for 485?
I guess for now, we will just celebrate and try to get our 485 applications in before July 31st. After that it is a wait and watch situation.
Congratulations to all who got through this first hurdle.
If you overanalyze any situation, for the matter even, "why come to work?", one will always find consipiracy :)..
I say lets not overanalyze this and lets celebrate and keep our fingers crossed for avoiding any further issues !!..
Good luck..

too tired to celebrate...but hopeful that something might yet happen that will do something with the retrogression. hubby is already complaining that he reached the top in his senior position and there is no more professional growth for him, so the ability to file I-485 (if it happenes) would be a golden one for both of us... he would not feel so chained by his employer and I will finally say goodbuy to this wretched H4 status.
Will see where things move in the near future and hope for the best..

my company might use this one and i have no say on this. just wonder whether the new york office is good in regard to GC process.
FRAGOMEN SUCKS TOTALLY - but unfortunately I got no choice - my employer uses these morons for immigration services. My reasoning is based on my experiences below:
1. I have been mailing Fragomen for 3 MONTHS (YES THREE FULL MONTHS) to initiate my H1 extn 6 months prior to my visa expiry cause I had a need to travel outside the US in a short notice and I did not want to be stuck because of me not having my visa extn papers in time. Despite 5 e-mails and 5 voice mails - there was no response from FRAGOMEN. Escalated this with my company and we had a conference call to discuss this issue with Fragomen. Guess what FRAGOMEN's Client Service Manager had to say when I asked her about they not answering my e-mails and voice mails for 3 months - "I CANNOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION SINCE EVERYCASE IS DEALT DIFFERENTLY AND WE DECIDED TO INITIATE UR H1 EXTN 3 MONTH PRIOR TO UR VISA EXPIRY." WTF!!! Who the hell are they to decide on my professional/personal travel needs? I really wish I had their job - do nothing at all and when questioned say "I cannot answer that question".
2. To make sure FRAGOMEN do not mess up my 485 as well, I asked them in the same call the time they would take to process and file my 485. The client service manager promised me that they would file my AOS in 4 business days from the day they receive all the documents from me. I made sure I sent all the documents including Medical Exam results in less than 2 days from the day we had this call. Guess how long they took to file my case - 3 full weeks - 15 business days!!!!
For the kind of money they charge, the service is totally bad. FRA-DON'T-GO-MEN might be a better name these guys.

I wanted to attend but I have pretty much exhausted all my vacation. 2 more days will be pushing it.
Also, the flight schedules to fly from Portland Oregon to D.C is so ridiculous that it takes a whole day away in flying.
Will definetely attend a rally in the east coast, or better yet will help organize one.
Hey zerocomplexity & jay75:
We flew from Seattle on friday mrng at 5:30 am. Had a 5 hours lay over at LA. We wanted to be present & it was worth all the pains....
And also must mention, there were 60+ people from CA too...

Hi
All who are on H4 visa ,is there a way out that we all can write an email or letter to the USCIS or the law changing authority to change the H4 law and get right to work ,I mean one nicely drafted mail or Letter with all the problems highlighted and the disadvantages which the spouse and the H4 are facing .I am mentioning some points which we can write
1.H4 cannot work any where in the USA,not even for an hour
2.Green card is years away.
3.Just be at home and keep on asking money from your spouse for everything you need.
4.With the 65000 quote every one on H4 cannot get an H1.
5.Every one on H4 is not necessary a computer professional or having a 4 year degree possible 3 year or may be less so they cannot qualify for an H1.
thanks
Thats right, eventually when the H1B emploee gets Employement Authorization through GC process, the H4 spouse automatically becomes eligble to work and have better opportunities than any H1B holder. Why can't a H4 have a work authorization same as J2 or L2 or E2. Does ImmigrationVoice considered this thought and thinks as a good point to raise it to the senate in one of their efforts?

I share your concern, there were more than 905 in that period, I don't think the DOL data sheets have any data for NOv 04 to MAr 05. I'm not sure of the source of the original post...
I believe this is because of PERM implementation. PERM was started in March'05 and it was announced in Oct'04. Mnay companies (I know few for sure) might not applied during that period (period of uncertainity). and even after March'05 many companies were reluntacnt to apply right away. They want to see how other cases turns out. Also note that till Sep'05 EB2- Ind was current so many EB2 cases approved approved in initail phase were also got approved before Sep'05.

How on earth doing AC-21 with H1 transfer be dangerous and using EAD be safe ???? And how is one abandoning his AOS by doing an H1 transfer ?? This post is totally misleading !
AC 21 means porting your EB sponsoring employer, whether you use H1 or EAD to work is your own decision. As someone mentioned in this thread, lots and lots of VOs might not be trained for AC-21 cases, which result in such erroneous denials ( which can be corrected by filing MTR) , let's not get confused by the errors made by USCIS. Errors are errors and it can happen for any case, to any body and off course this kind of errors can be corrected.

of course they will accept them
and they will accept your 485 and AP and EAD...
as long as they can cash the checks.
the law has not changed, no one can presume what will happen
it's just that we are the fools in this, spending thousands of dollars without any choice in the matter, and then in one sweep all of it will be laid waste and we will be starting again...
what's more, for the indians among us, with the merit system, when with 90 points on board you will have no assurance of ever getting a green card.
what a alife :-) :-( yeah both, i can't decide!!
Its not a merit system, its a disguised diversity visa in the name of skills/merit. What kind of merit system will not have qualifying points? Its a shame that Sen Kennedy's website gave examples of how people ranging from 50-89 points can get GC's. Just call it diversity visa. Its a lie of massive proportions. When is Sen Kennedy up for election?

You are right but unfortunately history has thought us that when it comes down to GC versus H1b everybody is willing to throw GC under the bus to get H1b provisions.
This current bill is no exception, h1 increased from 65,000 to 115000 with triggers to increse it to 185000, but no provisions for green cards.
a exclusive emendment with GC will be the only way out. nobody is offering such amendment and if somebody offers it might be ordered to lie on table.
I think industry and their senators alike will be happy with quota increases...waht they will try to strike out is the extra fees....($5000 now) and also the retrictions on recruitment / displacement policy, which will make H1B useless as it will take umpteen number of months to get an H1B approved.
This ammdt is still difficult to pass
BTW, I cannot find the text of this ammndt on Thomas.

Here is the deal, the idea of state chapters is for grass roots organization. We can't reach out to everyone if we don't have remote hubs, it is as simple as that. We recently revived the WA state chapter and I keep sending emails, one or two respond, the rest are silent readers. However they did join the group and we are now 30+ members. Now, we plan to have a conference call and then we are planning to get together within 2 weeks to meet all of these members. No one is forced, but we would send out and invitation to every member. Then we come out with certain agendas and action items that fall within IV goals. Like one of the main things is to meet local law makers within each state for follow up. This is best done at state level. So I understand the part that you care confused is nothing is happening and you just keep writing. I know the feeling but can you get everyone together, can you get to meet them one by one. Trust me, once you get the ball rolling, before you know, you will have a big strong chapter that makes it easier to pass targeted messages and so on. When IV events are held in a national level, information and action items can be distributed to state chapter leaders who can then follow up.
But yes, it is hard work in the beginning to get every one on board, trust me, I am fighting the same battle, but hard work pays off!
Well siad - I am also of the same humble opinion. It is hard work now. Mobilizing people is no easy task, but we have to and I know we can do it.
Once we start our activities at the state level, we can make it easy at the national level.
We can let IV core concentrate on their high level agenda while at the local level we can motivate and mobilize the TEAM.
Together we forrm TEAM IV
