I called an hour ago. The lady said the phones are ringing like crazy for these bills. She was nice to take down the bill numbers, my name, and phone number. I asked her the tipping point when these things get noticed and if we are any close to the number of phone calls. The lady said, call volume is good and it will only help if your community makes more calls.

Guys,
I am in EB2 ADP with PD Feb'09. No cheating there ! :)
I understand that if a lot of EB3 guys, who have been waiting for years, start porting to EB2, they will end up in the queue before me :(. And with that knowledge, I will still support EB3-EB2 porting.
EB3 guys, porting is your best option. I hear a lot of EB2 asking you to go get a new job where they are willing to
a. Hire you with your H1B status,
b. Agree to file your GC, and
c. Agree to do it in EB2 category. (Think about the min wage they have to give and prove etc.)
It is way easier said than done in the current economy. But if you find one, go for it. That is a way of respite for you folks. For others, try porting to EB2 with your current company.
There have been cases where EB3 was filed when the candidate was eligible for EB2 and there have been cases other way round too. But talking about none of them helps your cause. Similarly, fighting amongst us doesn't help either. Don't get me wrong if I say that with EB2 movement, if EB2 becomes current by the end of next year, EB3 will start seeing a good benefit of spill overs. So with current laws, getting EB2 out of the way will actually help your cause
Eliminating per country limit will help everyone. We should fight for that, EB3 and EB2 together.
Seriously try for porting. I have been waiting just a year, and already know how many decisions get put on hold because of this process.
My heart goes out to you !

Don't even touch them with a stick. Their services stink.. and they pose as acting ethically but walk a fine line while representing you. They have consistently advised companies ( unfortunately some of the Big fortune 500 one's as well) about how to slow down the process of immigration and have them use it as a retention tool. They advised my previous employer that my job profile did not meet the EB-2 requirements as I was in professional services...! Every one that I hire has a masters and even the client locations that I work at, you did not find any one with my skill set who could not qualify for EB-2. They advised my company to file uned EB-3 to be on the safe side and that too non RIR. I was told that even the position of CEO does not require a a EB-2 qualification and that since about 200 people were laid off 2 years back in acompany that has 9000 employees, my RIR application would be denied. This happened with the Fragomen office out of Dallas in the year 2002. I hope they have improved since.
I was smart enough to say bye to that company and join another fortune company that does not have Fragoment as their lawyers. (I checked on that before I joined them).
I would urge tech industry employees to write to thrir HR departments and their V.P's about this widely used practice at Fragomen and that their representation of the case is not dual. They have acted as black sheep on other cases I know of in simiular situations.

Guys while thinking more about this... why not approach EEOC and it will be cheaper. The commission was created to protect employee's rights.
Someone with EB2 from 2004 or EB3 from 2001 should be able to convince EEOC that he was forced to have same or similar jobs for a long time because of long wait for green card while at the same time people from other countries did not have any such hinderances in their career advancement. Therefore, the country quota in employment based green card category leads to discrimation at work.
Here are the contact details of EEOC:

First of all, it is not "my" case. I have been waiting in line for my green card for the past 5 years with my labor stuck in BEC. So, under the current CIR draft, I will be one of the biggest losers as I have not filed for my I-140 and so, my whole application will go down the drain after 5 years of time, money, energy and emotional stress.
How do you come with a math where I will be able to get a GC immediately after 5 years if I apply under the points system? Did you even read the draft bill? How will I or anybody else for that matter, manage for next 5 years without a GC when they are squeezing out the H1B (fee increase, removal of dual intent etc)?? Next would be the per country hard quota that will put us in an eternally long line.
I would definitely compare the current mess of a EB based system with the untested point system and take the current system any time as it is a known devil. The merit system is no angel either. Atleast in the current system, if I wait long enough, I know that my turn will come.
How do you know that process delay would be minimal? USCIS's current delay is not because of process, it is because of the sheer volume of applications and lack of man power. The PERM system takes one month. If you pay premium processing, it takes them 15 days to clear your I-140. So, where is the delay in process? All the delay is from the past backlogs which this bill fails to address and at the I-485 stage where they have to do background checks. That will exist in the points system as well. After you discover the problems in the point system, what will you do then? Ask for another CIR bill??
You don't have to tell what "my" case is. I live my case...
Well said buddy , some people have condescending attitude towards rest of the people. The applications which are pending for past 5 or 6 years will be just thrown in the trash and asked to goto a new point system which will not be available until 2 more years and how the heck one is supposed to get h1 extension.
Hope your labor gets cleared soon and will be able to file 140 and 485 before this mess gets anywhere ...

I have been laid off yesterday. My employment ends Dec.
My 180 days expire Jan. My company said they will not revoke the I-140.
So can anyone explain the steps that needs to be taken by company B after they transfer my h1, for time period Dec thru Jan.
Can I use ac21 afterwards? and
Can myself or my wife work on the EAD that will come to our home address?.
What else needs to be done by company B.
Will we just get our green card in email.
If a query comes should I prove that I'm employed with the former company or is it to sufficient to show employment with similar position alone?
In short if the former company does not revoke I-140 and I take care of the status thru H1b transfer for the 1 month to hit 180 days, will I need to reapply for the GC?
Please advice to what you think is right based on your best knowledge.

Hi Guys...
Here is 100 more from me through Paypal. I was excited to learn that there is another bill in the works that supports converting the 55,000 visas to advanced degree holders. That will free up a lot of visas in the EB-2 category and also some in the EB-3 category.

I am really concerned. Employers will lobby for increase in H1-B.
Well, at least most of them. If it comes to either H1-B or GC, they will obviously opt for H1-B increase.
So, if in the last minute, only H1-B is increased and not GC (Anything can happen behind closed doors negotiations) we will have more H1-B with the GC dream and suffering like us.
I think our Web fax should categorically state that we support Only GC related provisions in the skill bill. Else, at least, I plan not to sign the petition.
We don�t want to be supporting a cause outside of ours that will eventually indirectly
affect us. It will also affect many starry eyed new H1-Bs chasing their ever elusive GC dream. Haven�t we all had enough.
Excellent Point. Its defenitely not in any of the employer's interest to worry about EB issues. Infact they prefer people being in H1. and I certainly do not want to support that. There are good chances that congress increase H1 quota and we end up supporting the wrong cause. As far as IV is concerned, I would even go to the extent of saying that we should not support H1 causes, as there are enough candidates in H1 here undergoing EB problems. Thanks for bringing out an excellent point regarding this bill. My opinion is, if EB issues are not stressed properly, this bill will be viewed as "INCREASE FOR H1B BILL".. my 2 cents.

I have recently written a paper on this issue in an MBA class assignment. I give most people here credit for enthusiasm and willingness to do something, but they don't seem to grasp the basics about legislative and administrative laws and the hundreds of legal exceptions that take precedence over the EEO legislation.
It's sad the same idea gets recycled and reproduced then goes no where with every disappointing visa bulletin. At least someone should shell out the $200, get the correct legal opinion and let us move on.

A couple of months ago, when I realised that my son who is on H4 with ITIN was not qualified for $300 under the stimulus program, I felt bad, not really for the 300 bucks. Instead, I felt strongly that my son is discriminated for his immigration status for which he has no control at all, he is only 12 years old. As father of 3 (two youngsters born in US), I love them all, equally, regardless of immigraton status. Certainly, this stimulus program does not.
As such, I contacted VA chapter of ALCU, who replied that there are just so many injustice in the world, and they could not help anything, however, they offered paid service if I like to go further. I did not bother to contact them anymore.
I received the payment under the program a couple of days ago. I did not tell my son that he did not get anything, since I do not want to make him upset or plant a seed of badwill in the mind of my son.
Thank you for great job to fight for your right, and the right of those on the same boat. I am with you.

I think DOS knows a damn when they move the dates (I think everybody agrees with that) They still move their dates based on demand of approvals from last qtr / month and they calculate the expected demand. I think they are probably making the assumption that everything is normally distributed (atleast this is my assumption). I dont believe in numbers, but lets say for example :
If you see that for March they have about 43 EB3I applications current and through April they have made 55 EB3I current and they added only 8 apps through 2 months. (Also Chennai consulate appointment numbers decreased from 10 to 5 from March to April) But on the other hand, by making EB2 Dec 2003 they have added 150 applications to the pool. This does'nt make any sense.
I agree that there could be indians who applied EB3 and dont work for IT and not have access to or perhaps dont want to track them, but again it should not be too much when compared to EB2.
So in my opinion, if DOS calculates the same way they do the EB3I dates should move to some where in Jan 02 in three months and the last quarter is going to move to the end of 2002.
