as per http://www.shusterman.com/, democrats are up to restore family and employment immigration and eliminate point system
If that is so then why isn't any Employment Based amendment in the list. and how does shusterman know. There is one from Sen. Mendez that gives more points for family but nothing for employment based.
the writer's of this bill have said that any amedment that removes the merit system is a deal breaker. So far at least from whatever info is out there seems there is nothing for employment based category. Don't know if something is going on behind closed doors...

Thanks you all for making the post and clarifying the difference between I140 substitution vs underlying labor being used. I guess in my case the approved labor was used and not I140. I have asked my previous employer to send us the revocation request for the I140 so that my MTR is much stronger. The 2 applicant to 1 labor/I140 is exactly what has happened in my case. One of you has done a very good job of explaining it.
My current lawyers are in the process of filing for MTR. I have been delayed a bit since we never got the damn letters. I have H1b until June as a backup. My wife works on EAD--should she inform her employer or she could continue since they don't know yet.
I will continue updating this thread.

Ajobha, thank you for starting this thread.
I am actually curious about peoples reasoning behind not attending the rally. I don't think anyone should judge people's decisions, but if we can understand why we didn't succeed in tempting you to come, we can learn for next time.
It sounds like you might be considering going to another county or back home? Ironically, if this is true, it highlights perfectly what one of our key messages was at the rally.
You are a poster child of reverse brain drain. The US needs to keep talent, whether it is home grown or imported. By making the process so grueling, people are starting to leave in droves.

How about having a monthy/semi monthly conf call (similar to Rajiv Khanna's call), that will probably help in making every one aware of the structure and heirarchy in IV. I am sure a lot of us want to do some thing...posting 100 times to get noticed can't really be the best way to manage the ideas.
I got a feeling that some members feel that IV run a secret community with-in IV (I am not sure how many watched the movie "The Stepford Wives" ).
I think that core members and volunters knows strategy and action plan well before others. I think there would be hierarchy within that also.
I dont see anything wrong in that.
Here I think what goes on internally.. If you are more active in the threads you would sure get a message from IV moderators about ur willingness to volunteer. IV core seriously does not have the ability to read the psyches of each individaul member and invite them int to the secret soceity(?). Only possible way to know for them is how much active you are for a while. i dont think there are any specific paramters for that , it is a matter IV core getting convinced that u r serious enough. Not a day or two.. How long .. and how serious you are with ur ideas...
About funds .. none of the organizations declare their monetory dealings openly. There is a youtube video by logiclife on this. see it if u have not laready seen it.
Keep up the good work.. Sure you would become the member of secret soceity soon :).
I read sometime back nixtor became IV core member recently..

Read it, Understand it and then please let me know if you still think that OP was in "unauthorized work", as this is what you have written before
The H1B visa belongs, in effect, to the company that sponsors it. You cannot work for any other company on that visa other than sponsor. If this is a transfer, then, In a so-called "visa transfer" what actually happens is that the initial visa is cancelled in favor of another one issued for the new employer. What that means is OP's work with old employer is considered as "unauthorized work".

Hey guys,
I am planning to take Infopass to see what more information i can collect.
Also does anybody know if USCIS send courtesy copy of Denial Notice to you as well.
My concern is that my attorney sent G-28 and AC21 both but he feel that since I-485 got denied means they have never updated G-28 or AC21 so it might go to my old attorney.
Does anyone know if i will get courtesy copy of denial notice?
Thanks
Buddy, if I were you, the first thing I would do is get a good and experienced lawyer on my side and have the lawyer look into these issues. You need a lawyer who has experience in handling such issues.
If you are not using your old lawyer anymore, you should immediately have your current/new lawyer file new G-28 so that you won't have to keep asking your old lawyer for anything. I did change my lawyer once and my second lawyer was able to get everything from my first lawyer.
MTR is no joke and it's worth spending some money on a good lawyer when it comes down to a denial of your AOS application. Good luck to you.

This is in response to vldrao's and delax's calculations...
Are you people 'creating' new quota rules?? what is this 7% with regards to any category? 7% is the per country limit including all categories. EB1, EB2, and EB3 gets 28.6% each, out of the total available 140,000. This means each country will get 2802 visas for each of these three categories. However spillover can be redistributed to lower categories and to oversubscribed countries.

Excellent response. I have been a silent admirer of IV for some time. IV has represented the aspirations of all the EB applicants. people should understand that the US allotment of visas to foreign Nationals is only based on what is fair for the country (US). It does not matter to them to what country the applicant belongs but what matters is the qualifications and their benefit to the advancement of the US. I am appauled to see some of the members racheting up this irrational discussion about the spillovers when DOS clearly stated recently what the intent of the law was. the sooner they get over this issue, the better for them and for every one on the forum as the existing rules will NOT change regarding the spillover. we have to concentrate our efforts on how we can improve conditions for every body affected by this retroression. efforts aimed at one category and that too one country will almost certainy fail. I am also shocked to see a few EB3 I expressing anger over dates moving for EB2. personally if I see a person from my country getting his visa approved, then I would feel very happy for him even if I am waiting for some time. I know it will be difficult, but atleast spare some joy for your country men and women who are getting some well deserved relief after such a long wait. one of my old friends told me once "if you have a friend from India, don't rely on him to help you, because you will not get much help moreover some people will only try to pull you down, but if you take people from other countries, it is exactly the opposite as they try to help each other in every possible way". I agree that it is very distressing for every one that the dates are retrogressed, but now that EB2 has moved, all of a sudden some people woke up from a deep sleep and started making these arguments that have no legal basis. None of these people expressed their anger when EB3 ROW was being preferred over more qualified EB2 I and C and making EB2 unavailable. I know a lot of people from EB2 protested at this wrong interpretation of the law, but I don't remember anyone ever criticizing IV for not taking up their cause even though we knew all along that spillover from EB1 to EB2 retrogressed countries was the right interpretation of the law. now some people are asking IV to take up an issue that is straight forward illegal as was clearly explained by DOS in a recent bulletin. instead of wasting time and efforts on such futile suggestions, people should concentrate on making some constructive effort along with IV helping every one involved in retrogression.
"I am appauled to see some of the members racheting up this irrational discussion about the spillovers when DOS clearly stated recently what the intent of the law was. the sooner they get over this issue, the better for them and for every one on the forum as the existing rules will NOT change regarding the spillover".
Are you suggesting we "Get over the spill over issue" because that's what current law says ??
Then by that logic, should we get over the "recapture issue" too?? because that's what current law says...now I am appalled.
As I understand, IV's objective is to change laws in favor of the immigrant community. Agreed Recapture is priority #1 since it alleviates majority of our concerns, but is it the only one ?? Especially when recapture happens to be the most difficult one to achieve . Answer is NO.
IV has scored so many smaller wins in the recent past to provide temporary relief to the community at large.
You say "I am also shocked to see a few EB3 I expressing anger over dates moving for EB2".
Some EB3s might have expressed jealousy .Shame on them. But most are expressing anger because EB3 is "U" and the spillover formula will keep them retrogressed for years to come and not because EB2 moved ahead . Godd for Eb2s.
Your India specific jealousy example can be applied of any country. India does not hold monopoly over jealous acts. People are jealous not countries.
You say, "None of these people expressed their anger when EB3 ROW was being preferred over more qualified EB2 I and C and making EB2 unavailable".
IMO, this is frivolous...this kind of questions can be countered by equally frivolous question like ..... How many Eb2s are now expressing their anger over this years interpretation of spillover laws by DOS??

Wow!! Do all these Hi Tech companies(including the giant one I work for) not have any teeth in the system. Sanders gets an amendment, but nothing to change the stupid MBS provisions in favor of these companies. Pending further analysis or details not known yet, seems like we can safely join our friends at numbersusa and oppose this bill.

However, she never got the aprroval notice for the second H1B application. Actually this case is currently still pending.
There is a possibility that
- approval notice might be lost in mail
- uscis misplaced her file
Check with uscis what happened to her application for transfer and you might have to contact attorney depending on uscis' answer.

By exempt, you mean exempt from the cap, right? Does this mean that you still need an employer to sponsor you even if you have an advanced degree? Or can you self-petition as in the CIR?

Its only going to take 5 people to break away from the 64. Those 35 "No" votes are the ones who want CIR dead NOW. They are not going to change. But those 64, its only going to take 5 people to walk away.
There are 24 amendments. I think atleast 5 people would see their amendments fail on the floor of the house and probably another 5 atleast who would withdraw support because someone else's amendment passed. This baby is going DOWWWNNN this weekend per my estimate. I could be wrong but again, 24 amendments ? That's too many darts on a fragile compromise.
as far as i know Reid is smart about this thats why hes using the "clay pigeon" manuevre where all the 24 amendments would be tied as one amendment and then voted to pass on, once its passed then the cloture vote will come in (without the individual amdts yet voted on) once the cloture vote is secured then they will have 30 hours to vote all the individual 24 amdts after whc a simple majority vote ( min 51 votes) wud be needed to clear the bill...real smart
