People who have not yet called, please take a few minutes to call the CHC members on the first page. If you feel that it will consume a lot of time during week days, you can call now or after-hours and leave a voicemail. The voicemail takes only a few seconds. Every phone call counts.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Yup true. In my opinion there would be a bill out of conference. I do not know what the shape of the final bill would be but my hunch is they would atleast discuss this and get something out before Nov.
Afterall Guest worker program was one of the highly publized event of Pres Bush's 2004 presidential campaign. Which helped him win the race. In Florida and few other states(and few other blue states).
Congressmen(house and senate) know they are at a greater risk of losing in an election year by not producing a bill than producing one that dissatisfies few conservaties.
Basically talks about election year politics on this bill.

Guys,
As you know that I have been talking to one of the IV Admins and their suggestion (since the beginning) is that we send the letters individually.
And I tend to agree with this, here is why:
1) One package with 70 some signature will still be one letter, if each one of sends the letter, it will remind the General Inspector everyday, for at least a couple weeks. The chances of something happening are greater this way. They can ignore 5, 10, 15, but not 70 letters.
Think of this as one rock verses 70 pebbles, and you are trying to hit a target ;)
2) Having a different "From" address on the letter makes it more convincing and authentic that the person writing and sending the letter is not just making up the names (in case we decide not to add the Case number).
3) We can not use the IV name and the top of the letter (refer to my first comment in the letter) as this is not going officially from IV. A copy of the letter, along with the list of names/individuals who sent the letter to DOL will be used by IV during their lobbying meetings, etc.
4) It will help with the logistics (email, Fax, snail mail to intermediate) and people can take a responsibility for doing it.
The not so good reason...
- I am afraid that some people will not send it. I know how it can get when you work late nights since early morning and all you wanna do on Saturday is sleep :).
Options:
I dont think I want to have a separate poll for this, but we do have a couple options here:
1 Send One big letter
2 I create a template so you guys can just put your Name, Address and Case Number (optional) print and send it your self, it will cost you guys less than 5 minutes and less than $1.
What do you say?
Cheerios!

That's simply incorrect. Since EB-2 India was held up at Jan 2003 from Oct 2005 to June 2007, most EB-2 filers from 2003 and 2004 are still very much out there and waiting. You have to remember that most 2003/04 EB-2 filers from California/NY/NJ/WA were rotting in BEC. High demand states have not approved any labors with 2003-2004 PD's before 2005 when BEC started to approve them. But this was too late as dates were already retrogressed, thus for almost 2 years there was build up for 2003/04 EB-2 cases. I know a lot of them personally.
The only exception to this might be: There were very few cases filed in EB-2 during 2003 and 2004, but that is hard to believe.
This was my complete quot for this particular part of the whole statement.
"The fact is that most of Pre 2004 EB2 lot is already out of the system. Those who are still in are sufferer of namecheck and BECs.There is no perfect mechanism to determine the ratio but I would guess 80% are out from that group." but you somehow conviniently picked up first sentence only.
So I have already mentioned about that. See the problem is that in this foolish system there is no perfect barometer we do have so we can state this will SURELY be a pattern... Yes many are still rotting in not only name check but even in BECs as of today. But most Pre 2004 EB2 lot is out. Now I can not tag a number for "Most"... I think best startegy is to wait for future bulletins. I have already stated my belief and that is with confidence. Does that mean I am trying to say "This will be the only pattern". In case of USCIS nobody can tell that.

Chronography of facts
EB was current from AUGUST 1999 until April 2000.
This warning was issued in the March 2000 VB:
VISA AVAILABILITY FOR APRIL(2000)
�Demand for immigrant visa numbers by INS for AOS cases in all categories, continues to be steady but has not reached the level requiring action at this time. It is anticipated that INS demand for numbers will require the establishment of visa cut-off dates for April in some or all of the CHINA-mainland born and INDIA Employment categories�.
In May 2000. EB2 was retrogressed to 01JUL97 for China and 01APR99 for India
In December 2000 VB the big announcement came:
Greater availability of EB immigrant visas: On October 17th, the President signed P.L. 106-313. Title I of this law is known as the "American Competitiveness in the Twenty-first Century Act of 2000" and contains amendments to the INA regarding EB immigrant visas.
In fiscal years 1999 and 2000, due in part to the per-country limits, the annual limit for EB immigrant visas was not reached. P.L. 106-313 makes the following changes in an attempt to rectify the situation with regard to per-country limits:
Section 106 recaptures those EB visa numbers that were available but not used in fiscal years 1999 and 2000, creating a "pool" of approximately 130,000 numbers. These numbers could be made available to applicants in the EB1, EB2 and EB3 preference categories beginning in fiscal year 2001.
Section 104 removes the per-country limit in instances where the overall applicant demand for EB visas is less than the numbers available without regard to those limits. This determination will be made quarterly, based on a comparison of the overall demand versus the available numbers. If the total number of available EB visas is greater than the number of qualified applicants who may otherwise be issued such visas (during the same period), the per-country limitations on EB visas will be lifted for the remainder of that quarter.
In May 2001 EB2 became current again for both India and China.
July 2001 VB:
EMPLOYMENT-BASED PREFERENCE CATEGORIES:
All categories have become "Current" for July, and are expected to remain so for the remainder of FY-2001. The cut-off date movement in all oversubscribed categories has been extremely rapid during the past year. This is because the FY-2001 limit is approximately 50,000 higher than normal, and legislative changes removed the per-country limitation if there are otherwise unused EB numbers available.
All categories are expected to remain "Current" for the foreseeable future.
January 2005 VB
OVERSUBSCRIPTION OF EB3 FOR CHINA, INDIA, AND THE PHILPPINES
June 2005 VB
EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY DURING THE REMAINDER OF FY-2005
During the past month there has been a significant increase in the amount of numbers being used by CIS offices for AOS applicants. This level of demand has significantly depleted the supply of EB numbers available under the annual limit. Recent discussions with CIS have made it clear that their backlog reduction efforts will sustain or increase the current level of demand. Therefore, continued visa availability in the EB categories cannot be guaranteed during the final quarter of FY-2005. If demand continues at the current rate, it will be necessary to oversubscribe many or all of the EB categories on a Worldwide basis. Such oversubscription could result in the establishment of cut-off dates, retrogression of already established dates, or some categories becoming �unavailable�.
July 2005 VB
EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY FOR JULY AND THE REMAINDER OF FY-2005
EB3 and Third Other Worker categories have reached their annual limits and no further FY-2005 allocations are possible for the period July through September.
September 2005 VB
EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY DURING FY-2006
The backlog reduction efforts of both CIS, and the DOL continue to result in very heavy demand for EB numbers. It is anticipated that the amount of such cases will be sufficient to use all available numbers in many categories. As a result cut-off dates in the EB3 category will apply to the China, India, and Philippines chargeabilities beginning in October, and it is possible that Mexico may be added to this list. In addition, it is anticipated that heavy demand will require the establishment of a EB3 cut-off date on a Worldwide basis by December.
The amount of Employment demand for applicants from China and India is also likely to result in the oversubcription of the EB1 and B2 categories for those chargeability areas. The establishment of such cut-off dates is expected to occur no later than December.
The level of demand in the Employment categories is expected to be far in excess of the annual limits, and once established, cut-off date movements are likely to be slow.
October 2005 VB:
EMPLOYMENT PREFERENCE VISA AVAILABILTIY
Item D in the September VB announcing the September cut-off dates provided information regarding the prospects of visa availability during the early months of FY-2006. Many categories have become oversubscribed for October, and cut-off dates established due to continued heavy demand for numbers by CIS for adjustment of status cases. Forward movement of the cut-off dates in these categories is likely to be limited.
And IV was born.
Have a nice weekend.

Hi!
We are in the process of filing a h1 extension for my husband using H1/H4 decoupling rule. He worked here on H1 for 5 years 5 months. According to which he will have 7months of H1 time and that will be 9.5 months including vacation time spent outside the country while on H1. Today we talked toa recruiter while reviewing the documents he mentioned that when we applied for change of status for him from h1 to H4 it took 4 months for the H4 approval to come through, those 4.5 months he is in a pending status. He is not sure if we can use that time for the H1 extension we want to file now. If we cannot use that time then he is left with another 4 months time of H1
Does anyone know if we can use the time spent in pending status for filing
H1?
Any help in this matter is appreciated. I'm also looking to find recruiters who can file GC for future employers as My husband has very less time before his 6yrs are over I want to file for his LC and then get I-140 approved based on which we can extend his H1 beyond 6years.

I called local office of the local congressman. The lady listened to me attentively and then advised me to call Washington office. She said the staff over there would be able to tell me how the congressman would vote on these bills.
I called Washington office also but there the operator said the person who looks into these matters is not at desk and advised me to leave a voice mail. I have left a detailed voice mail with my contact info.
I have to call 3 more congressmen from CHC and I will finish that in a short while.

To begin with, Slumdogs writing style is really refreshing and one day he writes a book, I may be inclined to buy it :)
But he seems to be really upset about the "Non GC house buying" group bashing ..I think the bashing is both ways. Many a time these self proclaimed SMART home owners feel that they know too much and ridicule people who haven't bought a house yet.
And the big reason people who bought homes give is they are giving their family and children a good quality of life ..And people who dont buy homes are SELFISH A** who don't care about their family and only care about saving Money.
I seriously don't understand this argument. For one i don't own a home yet. I definitely want to one day. But currently i rent a beautiful 3 bed town home with my own backyard which connects to a beautiful park. the yard is maintained by the community .. Also all the maintenance is taken care off. I am totally happy where i live..The day i feel bored i will move into a better place. So for me when i buy a house it should be much better than where i stay currently in every sense. My dream home should be truly luxurious in every sense, And i should feel that my standard of living has gone up after i buy a home. As of today my dream home in a good location is not affordable for me. So till the affordability criteria is not met, I plan to rent a nice home.
So to conclude please do not equate quality of life to buying a house. Its the people who live inside, who make a house a "HOME".

Since people would be filing taxes early next year, and most expect some returns from Uncle Sam, how about starting a thread to pledge $ 200 from tax returns?
Also, someone had once suggested IV set up a mechanism via Pay Pal to make auto deduction of say $ 20-25 every month. That should get it more continuing contributions and help even out IV's cash flow.
That is a nice thought.
But I realized after watching from the sidelines for over six months now, is that, it is easier to achieve smaller goals. Basically, I mean, request donations, but without specifying the amount. And in good conscience, if they can donate $50 that is some contribution than none (numbers like $200.00 etc. might drive interested people away). There is a chance for second and third contributions, as and when they see positive developments because of IV efforts (I know that it is advantageous for IV if there is one large payment, rather than many small payments, but at this point, I am more interested in ONE SMALL PAYMENT).

Its a 2006 blog , but it makes sense even today for EB3 India
Finally that's when you switch on your calculator and start working with the numbers. There are 140,000 visa numbers available under all the employment based categories, with 7% per country limit and 28.6% allocated for EB3 and dependents counted into the numbers, there are only about 115 EB3 primary applicants allowed from India per month. Throw in a few thousand illegals(amnesty) into the mix and now you have the royal screw-up as is happening now. The law allows visa numbers from unused countries to be transferred to the oversubscribed countries but with nearly every category retrogressed this law won't apply for a while.
The future looks toooo dark even to mention.

The biggest problem with lot of EB3-Is with older PDs is that they won't switch jobs and port to EB2. they will cite number of reasons for maintaining the status quo i.e their EAD status post July 07.
A handful will march to washington DC and get the senators to know them by their "first names". Others will simply chip in a few hundred bucks and make themselves feel they are the Buffets and the Gates of this world. Still others will simply fume and fret. Some will preach how porting EB3->2 means "gaming" the system.
All very experienced EB workers who think they can get the best of everything at the price of nothing. Who want everything "risk free".
Green cards in the mail and smooth upward progressions in their careers.:D
