Thanks for the post. However I read testimony that said more than 80% of EB visas have been used up. That leaves only 28k (20% of 140k) at most as spill over for Fiscal 2008. Thoughts?
My understanding is they wait until last quarter to give the spill over. But this time they started giving the numbers in 3rd quarter itself. Keep in mind EB1 is current and Eb2 except I and C is still current.
I expect to see at least 20k visa's issued to EB2 I and C.

With out passing the bill any PRESIDENT CAN NOT DO ANYTHING even if he wants to help us.
CONGRESS HAS TO PASS THE BILL. THAT IS THE ONLY WAY FOR US.
President can do ONLY VETO ON ANY BILL OR HE CAN GO TO WAR ON ANY COUNTRY. THATS ALL HE CAN DO.

I still can't connect Republicans with legal immigration. I was asking before, what Republican sponsored bill was passed that supports legal immigrants?
They are all corrupt and they are all actors. I am talking about all politicians, in this or any other country. They are not leaders, they are all politicians.
Republicans project themselves as pro-business that is expected to create more jobs for Americans. They support legal skill immigrants not because legal immigrants are "beautiful", but because legal immigrants help big-business make more money. For republicans this is not the question of pro or anti immigration, it is primarily 'wealth creation' issue for big-business. Republicans usually do not support provisions for employee protection as it hurts the agenda of big-business.
Don't get me started about Democrats who are no different. Its just that Democrats don't care about skilled immigrants at all and they only care about big business during fund raisers.
Even Bush was not able to push Republicans to support CIR. McCain was forced to disavow his support for CIR just to win the nomination.
Bush did what he could to push for CIR. If all Democrats would have supported, CIR would have passed in 2006. In 2007, if it was not for blue dog democrats, CIR would have passed in 2007. But democrats had decided to set their priority for not forcing their congressmen/women to go through a difficult vote which may possibly make Democrats lose the election in 2008.
On the other hand, it was always at the time of a Democrat President when immigrants had freedoms. VB was almost always current. You can get driver's license easily.
Difficult with DL is primarily due to the fallout of 9/11, it is not because of a democratic or republican president in office.
Again, going back to the question, what Republican Bill was passed in support of us, legal immigrants?
Most legal immigration bills were passed/worked upon by Republicans including AC21 bill. Not because republicans are pro-immigrants and democrats are anti-immigrants, but the reason is republicans are supposedly pro-business.
HR5882 is co-sponsored by Sensenbrenner. He was the biggest opposer of recapture bill in 2005 before he decided to co-sponsoring recapture bill HR5882 in 2008.
Look, it is not correct to generalize that Republicans are anti-immigrants and Democrats are pro-immigrants or visa-versa. They are all actors and each individual lawmaker decide their position based on how it would effect their re-election. Wait till you see Durbin show his act, most people on this forum, legal tax paying law abiding people will all be toast. Just wait and watch, writing is on the wall.

The Point system that this bill refers to is a BS , look at even canadian system they differ upto some extent on these. But the key point is this bills retroactiveness , it simply puts all those ppl stuck in BEC out of scope , the point system is not tried too , just becoz the managers of these senators thought this is good by getting a hybrid point system of Canada, Australia and UK is good enough ? This point system is worse than current sytem no matter what ever it might be good for some but logically , technically its flawed

I was laid off and since then I have been receiving my unemploment insurance from state of texas. I have my EAD and have been actively looking for a job. Now there is a family emergency and I have to go to india. Is it legal to claim my employment insurance from india? Will there be any problem if I claim my benefits from india?

I have majored in Information Systems from New York, however, I am have a BS and not MS. I been for 6 years on H-1 by now. Does it qualify for any of the SKIL bill's previledges?
I think you will have some benefit out of this bill, albeit, indirectly. This Bill will exempt a lot of folks with advanced degrees from US and non-US universities. All advanced degree holders from US univs. (STEM and non-STEM) will be exempt. So, a person with an MBA flus a 4 year bachelors from a US univ. will be exempt. Also, folks with non-US STEM advanced degrees who have been working in the US in a related field for 3 or more years will be exempt as well. The family members of such folks are exempt as well. Consequently a lot of folks currently waiting in the pipeline may no longer be counted against the quota, thus reducing the clog in the pipeline. ANother benefit out of this bill is that it increases the quota from 140K to 290K. There fore, you will definitely see some positive movement in priority dates for people in your and other similar situations (this is the indirect benefit I was referring to). It is very hard to say at this point how much the positive movement would me. It will all depend on how many people will be exempt from the quota.

My 140 approval says: Mem of Profession w/Adv Deg, or Exceptional ability Sec 203 (b) (2).
My understanding: this is EB2.

We do not have sufficient expertise to answer such specific queries .. Your company's immigration lawyer should be the best person to answer this. You could also try posing your query to an attorney during our conference calls.
In any case, a good employer would prepare for the worst case eventuality - that is assume that an audit notice is sent. If your company and its lawyer have been scrupulous about all the information they furnished during the PERM app there should be little trouble responding to it. In case they fail to satisfy USCIS, your company will get blacklisted and will be barred from filing PERM applications for some length of time (not sure what that is).I do not know of any direct consequences for the beneficiary himself.
My company went through a 10% workforce reduction company-wide just when my PERM application was ready to be filed. Although nobody from my group has been affected, 2 people with the same job title from a different group in the same office were affected. Their job descriptions are entirely different. I have about a year and a half before my H1B expires. I would appreciate anybody answering the following questions I have:
1. In Form 9089, should the answer to Item 26 be 'No' since nobody in my group or area of expertise was affected?
2. If the answer to Item 26 should be 'Yes', is it sufficient to notify and consider the people laid off? I am confident that they will not qualify for the position. How long should this 'notification and interview' period typically be?
3. I have heard that my company can be sent an audit notice. In such a case, is it sufficent to justify that the area of expertise is different. What is the success rate for this?
4. If the audit response is rejected, what happens then? I have been told that the employee will have to return to his home country immediately and cannot refile his PERM application.

As we do not have any real numbers :) my predictions are based on EB2 numbers from (assuming the data to be a true random sample)
Here are number of EB2-I I485 pending cases by year
2007-100
2006-150
2005-125
2004-200
2003-50 (250 have been approved)
USCIS has approved about 450 EB2-I cases last year. A conservative estimate of approval rate going forward would be 30 cases per month. Based on this the movement..
2003 cases will be approved by Sep '08
2004 cases by Apr '09
2005 cases by Sep '09
2006 cases by Dec '09
Good Luck !!!

The American Academy of Nursing is NOT in poor light. Did you read their prescription for the nurses staffing and issues related to it?
With comments like these, we are digging our own grave. The issue is retrogression and not hopital and health care economics. I pay USD 14000 for a family of four and by god's grace, never been to one.
I know may of these nurses who are being exploited by the bodyshops like HLG. They pay a meagre salary to nurses and exploit them on signed contract. Please, please.. use your brains minus emotion.

Re: "U.S. Plan to Lure Nurses May Hurt Poor Nations" (Celia W. Dugger, May 24, 2006)
Addressing the U.S. nursing shortage is critical to providing quality health care, and the American Academy of Nursing (AAN) is working to identify ways to ease this shortage within our own boarders.
Your article addressed the fact that the capacity at the nation's nursing schools is limited and therefore applicants are turned away. Student capacity at nursing schools could be expanded by increasing the number of doctorally prepared faculty and making sure institutions offer the necessary pre-requisite courses for potential nurses to increase the pool of qualified applicants.
More must be done to retain qualified nurses by improving the working environment. The AAN has commissioned a task force to identify ways to have technology aid us in reducing the administrative workload of nurses in order to allow more time for patient care.
Before we look elsewhere, there is more we can do in the United States to recruit and retain talented nurses.

This is the newslink what we discussed earlier on IEEE-USA's view on CIR:
http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/21...oreign-workers
This says "Combined with the H-1B visa increases, the Senate bill also includes "substantial increases" in legal permanent immigrant admissions that could have a major impact on the US IT workforce and engineering enterprise, according to IEEE-USA."
IEEE-USA must know the current increase of EB visas in CIR was mainly warranted due to the current backlogs in labor and due to retrogression.
IEEE-USA when issuing statement like this, should understand that making people wait 5-8 years for adjudication is simply unfair.
Let IEEE-USA vouch to reform H-1B later and work to clear the backlogs and retrogression first.
I was a member of IEEE(then eventually IEEE-USA) for 8 years. I cancelled my membership 6 months ago after reading statements issued against us. I have nothing to do with them and I am not going to pay a dime to them in future...

Hi pd_recapturing, I am glad you understood my post clearly. I understand your point as well. Determining whether a company/employee is indulging in fraud or not is quite difficult if not impossible. I would suggest we start with reporting companies we know people work for and have negative experiences/comments about. It would mean reporting them based on anecdotal evidence but what else do we have as a starting point? I also know website reviews might not be very reliable since some disgruntled employee might post exaggerated comments about a company which might be following all the rules. But in general, we do know from colleagues/friends their experiences about employers who have sketchy credentials. Even TCS, Infosys indulge many times in L1 fraud as I have noticed. All I am asking for is better scrutiny by the USCIS at an earlier stage like PERM so such fraud applications can be removed.
I do not wish the genuine employees any ill will (certainly not) but I would like the fraud ones out of the system. Let's brainstorm more and we might have some success in cleaning out the queue of such frauds. Thanks for your insight.

Hi
I have a question with regard to AP renewal. My I-485 was sent to local office for interview in Feb 2009 and my case was preadjucated since the dates werent current , my card wasnt issued. I am in California. My PD is Nov 2005.
The question I have is, when I filing for my AP renewal , do I still send it to Nebraska or some other office? Since I dont know the location where my I-485 file is located as of now.
Any one who has renewed to AP/EAD after being called for interview at local office if they can give me any direction on this would be great. I asked my lawyer the same question he doesnt seem to have an answer as yet.
Thnks in advance.
