How many times have you met your lawmaker offices in person in the last 1 year asking for a bill?
If your answer is zero or 1, then that is the reason no bill never sees light of the day.
If our community does not go out and meet lawmakers, their plight will stay buried inside the forum threads.
One thing I was trying to find out -- who are the specific people in this committee? The answer is not readily available. Can anyone help?

My son was able to get in-state tuition at Arizona State University after we filed an appeal. The new rule allows those who have filed I-485 to get in-state tuition.

In central NJ, I called over 9 Doctors and only two of them had an appointment before July 1st -2nd week.
One is Dr. Neil M.S. Estrella in Clark, NJ. Appointment was available for Monday June 18th. But the fees for the exam plus vaccines is $430. The second one is Dr. Marcel Stern in Piscataway, NJ 08854. Appoitnment was available for Thursday June 21st. The fees was more reasonable at $350.
If you're in Central NJ, Hurry, Hurry Hurry.
P.S - If some of you get other appoitnments in NJ, post here so that others will know and not waste time calling other doctors.
To look for doctors in your area, go here :
https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=CIV
You can just walkin to Dr Stern office. Even if you have an appointment with them, you may have to wait 0.5-1.5 hours depending on the time you go. If you go on weekend or weekdays after 5 you may have to wait longer but afternoon should be faster. And there fee may be more than $350 if you need to get shots and xray. Hope this help.
If you call them recp. will tell that appt is required but actually it is just walk-in and you may not get any preference ver people who walked-in.

OK, for those who thought my name suggestion was serious , well I was just kidding, cuz this topic itself was a joke so I just played along with it,
I am not really effected by GC delay, cuz I was able to file I-485 in 2004 and I changed my job twice using AC-21 (refer to AC-21 thread I explained my situation), Also my wife is working with EAD, so I have no reason to go insane, but remember I still contribute to IV and itz cause, while I know many guys stuck in labor for last 5-6 years are still skepctical about IV.
Now back to H1B subject, I am glad IV is not promoting H1B increase, just because I came in H1B it does not mean H1B any better,
Why do I care about H1B.
Because I have been here for almost 10 years and I have seen how this program is abused, c'mon gusy we are educated and qualifed and we should not be so desparate to come to US by any means, when I say abolish H1B it does not mean I am against immigration, I just want reform the system where people have more option when they came here, How many of you guys are still hanging onto same company with same salary, think rationally and think beyound GC

Good news lately hasn't been good news. Bad news may turn out to be good news.
Perhaps we may see things streamlined after this event ? Cheer up. Happy Christmas everyone ! Let's celebrate with happiness in our heart, no matter the outcome of this insane immigration process.
:mad: 12/11/2006: USCIS Considers Termination of Concurrent Filing (140/485)
According to the USCIS rule-making agenda, the USCIS is to propose to terminate current concurrent I-140 and I-485 filing. The proposed rule is scheduled to be published in March 2007 with 60-day comment period. It is thus not imminent, but in the later part of next year(Oops!), the immigrant community may see a totally different filing procedure including electronic registration and filing just like current PERM labor certificaiton application procedure. Once the concurrent filing is terminated, the immigrants may experience a terrible pain as related to maintenance of nonimmigrant status pending I-140 petition, eligibility for 245K benefit, plus unavailability of EAD and AP pending I-140 petition, AC-21 180-day portability, etc. etc. Should the I-140 petition processing be dragged, the pain will be extremely unbearable!

There is no excuse for the Immigration dept for this backlog. This is a simple clerk's job which they screwed. IV as a an organization should clearly state it and insist on fast resolution by the respective authorities, not just foggy promises.
I agree that there is no excuse for processing times running into many months. However, I would be hesitant to rely on the goodwill of DOL/USCIS in resolving the backlog. I started another thread suggesting a premium processing option for the entire GC process:

There are serveral job types:
1. Contract to Hire.
2. contract to w2
3. Fulltime
4. Contract - independant.
Thanks and regards,

Been with Ron Gotcher for over 5 years now. Never ever had a problem. The best thing is you can talk to him or his son anytime regarding any immigration issues. I had lots of H1 issues with my current employer and he was gracious enough to talk to my employer several times and help them out without charging me a penny. I would highly recommend him.

It makes no difference whether they allow concurrent filing of 140/485 or not IF YOUR EMPLOYER IS WILLING to pay extra premium processing for 140. IF not , it makes minimal difference (2-3 months delay). Earlier this year, people were getting 140 approved on 6-8 weeks on average without premium fee.
If your date is not current:
This rule makes 0 difference. File 140 and wait for approval while your date moves forward. Once its current, file 485. So everyone who is retrogressed, this rule makes no difference to you 485 filing and getting EAD/AP.
If your date is current: File 140, regular processing 2-3 months and then file 485. If you can get premium processing done then it would be 15 days and then file 485. Either ways, you are delay in filing 485 by 2-3 months. In the grand scheme of things, its negligible. It would take even 2 months for your lawyer to get the paperwork straight for filing 485.
So please relax, this new rule that does not allow concurrent filing of 485 and 140 is not earth-shattering. Its a revenue generation move. And its good as long as revenue stays in USCIS as they do need revenue to hire more people to process files faster, which is in our own benefit. The only problem we have is the rise in fees generates revenue which often times does not stay with USCIS and goes away to other agencies of DHS(I think, this was mentioned in CIS Ombudsman report, if I am not wrong).

I see a lot of opposition for the bill from the news above and from others an optimism that bill might pass in Judiciary committe.
In Budget reconcilliation bill , it was thought , it was not a right place those amendments that would have relieved some of Retrogression be discussed.
I am wondering how will our issues (amendments that will relieve retrogression) be treated or happen what to them , when the passed bill will be discussed.
What do you guys think on Forum :)

Yes you are right cir (s2611) passed on May 25 2006, and the house sat on it for 4 months before it finally met its fate in September. That what I meant to say because Sensenbrener from the House Judiciary Committee was blocking it by holding hearings or something.
In 2006 Senate had passed S2611 late may as I remember with a fair margin...

In my opinion the USCIS did this to get the 485 cases to be filed after July 30 when their new fee schedule kicks in. They have just created a mess.

WANTED TO DRAW EVERYONE'S ATTENTION TO THIS
WASHINGTON � Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will approve a new deal on immigration on Thursday and move to bring the once-dead legislation back to the Senate floor next week, Democratic sources told FOX News.
Details of the immigration compromise remain to be finalized, but top Democratic sources say Reid has closely monitored the behind-the-scenes dickering over policy changes and a finite list of amendments due for consideration. Based on the latest updates on the policy and amendments, Reid will approve the compromise and move late Thursday to put the bill back on the calendar for Senate consideration in the middle of next week.
"He's going to bless it and he's going to get the Senate back in the business of dealing with immigration," said a source in the Democratic Senate leadership.
The principal change to the bipartisan immigration compromise that Reid shelved last week is the addition of $4.4 billion in added border security spending. That money will be added to the base bill to return to the floor. Any other changes to the immigration bill will have to be made through the amendment process.
The base immigration bill seeks to tighten border security, put an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants on a path to permanent residency and create a temporary worker program.
Republican leaders have promised to produce enough votes to curtail debate on the bill and proceed to final passage. Last week's impasse arose after Reid twice failed to collect the 60 votes necessary to limit debate and move toward final passage.
With the GOP votes in hand and a finite list of amendments to be offered by 11 Democratic and 11 Republican senators, Democratic sources said Reid is now determined to see whether the legislation can survive the amendment process intact. If it does, the Senate could vote on final passage of the bill by next Friday, Democratic sources said.
GOP sources tell FOX News that the new bill has enough support from Republicans for Reid to prevail on a procedural vote to get the bill to final passage.
Earlier in the day, President Bush agreed to the plan in hopes of winning over fellow Republicans.
"We're going to show the American people that the promises in this bill will be kept," Bush said in a speech to the Associated Builders and Contractors.
An earlier procedural vote on June 7 failed to get the 60 votes necessary to curtail debate, a defeat Reid said forced him to pull the bill.
That maneuver drastically diminished prospects for comprehensive immigration reform, but a tenacious lobbying effort by top Bush administration officials and the bipartisan architects of the so-called "grand compromise" have kept the bill on life support.
Many hurdles to passing the Senate bill remain. Still, efforts to revive the bill appear to have more momentum than at any time since Reid pulled the bill from the floor. All sides agree if a commitment to passing the bill isn't agreed to this week, the bill is likely to die.
FOX News' Major Garrett and Trish Turner contributed to this report.

I was thinking this is a good way for short term period until we know for sure what is going to happen to us as far as GC situation is concerned. It may not make the most sense in the long term but is a good way of hedging your bets until you know for sure which way immigration issues are headed.
This may be a good soln for people who do not want to loose their Canadian PR or those who dont want to move back to India for their own reasons (ppl like me who have been in this country for 10 plus yrs on F1 and H1 cobined but with no GC in sight).

This is just a simple forum;, me NOT completing my profile is not going to create any financial or any other type of loss FOR ANYONE. But the Doctor missing this important thing will now, in total cost me, about $1300 (which includes costs related to tests and travel etc). I could go on....
I am surely going to update my profile as time permits. Please do not waste precious time by adding unnecessary comments.
