I am surprised with this thread. There is no Deadline for employemnt based GC (this was mentioned by Sen. Robert (Bob) Men�ndez,NJ when requesting to move the FB deadline which is clearly mentioned in the bill as May 01, 2005) . Please read the summary and text carefully.
Summary:
First five years
Total number of merit-based green cards includes sum of:
a.) First five fiscal years have same number of green cards as made available to EB category in 2005. This number is 246,878.
b.) Any visa number not used by family based category.
How the total number will be divided between Current system and new merit-based system and Y visa holders --
- 10,000 (or more) reserved for exceptional aliens under �Y� visa category.
- 90,000 (exactly 90,000 � not more not less) for backlogged (pending or approved I-140 applications). Currently, this number is 140,000.
- Remaining possibly goes to new merits system. Until the merits system is ready for accepting petitions, the Y visa holders probably get a shot at this since the clause says �No more than 10,000� � leaving room to let it go up from 10,000 to whatever is left.
and the TEXT of the Bill
�(A) for the first five fiscal years shall be equal to the
33 number of immigrant visas made available to aliens
34 seeking immigrant visas under section 203(b) of this
35 Act for fiscal year 2005, plus any immigrant visas
36 not required for the class specified in (c), of which:
37 (i) at least 10,000 will be for exceptional aliens
38 in nonimmigrant status under section
39 101(a)(15)(Y); and
40 (ii) 90,000 will be for aliens who were the
41 beneficiaries of an application that was pending
42 or approved at the time of the effective date of
43 this section, per Section 502(d) of the [Insert
44 title of Act] ( Act not the bill)
(c) EFFECTIVE DATE.�The amendments made by this section shall take
11 effect on the first day of the fiscal year subsequent to the fiscal year of
12 enactment.
So a bill becomes law only after signed by the president, and the effective date could be Oct 01, 2007 if not Oct 01, 2008.
So all the I-140 filed on of before Effective date are considered as pending!!
I don't know why even lawyers are getting confused here!:confused:

NKR, not sure if you heard about this one proverb... "jabh kismath GA***U hai tow kya karey ga PANDU"....we unfortunately get trapped with such type of employers who trouble their employees and learn lessons in hard way and looks like you haven't encountered any such experiences with your employer, if that's the case you are lucky enough & I wish you would NEVER fall into such employers hand who trouble for so many other different reasons....or not sure you should have one small experience and see how you feel just for the heck of it....
I can sit here and add as many proverb's here all day long but the point here is try to be supportive to folks who are seeking for some help rather then sharing your "KATARA" proverb's..grow up man!!
dude, that was not my proverb. I was replying to fearonlygod's post. I had only quoted him. anyways your proverb is funny and appropriate, had a good laugh.

I didn’t want to go to DC rally due to my surgery appointment (September 6th) because I can not fly for three weeks after the surgery.
Guess what?, I have postponed my surgery appointment date, booked tickets and going to DC rally on Monday evening and flying back on Tuesday night.
I also urge people to take a day off and attend the rally.

"somebody who should not be allowed in your house" is not necessarily a security threat."
Whaa? You're kidding, right? If there's an intruder in my house, he could be Santa Claus but for me he is a security threat. Are you just arguing now for the sake of it? You keep talking about logical reasoning, but I don't see a shred of it coming from your side.
I am not the one who is arguing for the sake of it. You are. So far I haven't seen any "in depth" logical reasoning from you. I am not replying anymore to your arguments unless you come up with some real logic.

We have been living in a county which has implemented 287g for some time. And I believe all legal residents in my county feel safer because of its implementation. Sure, there is a chance that 287g can be misused by the police. But tell me one law which can not be misused by police.
The thing is that more counties are signing on to 287g. St. Mary's County Joins Controversial Federal Immigration Initiative - Southern Maryland Headline News (http://somd.com/news/headlines/2010/11667.shtml).
I went thru the proposal in Arizona and could not find even one point which might be bad for us. Did any of you find something? Format Document (http://www.azleg.gov/FormatDocument.asp?inDoc=/legtext/49leg/2r/summary/h.sb1070_04-13-10_houseengrossed.doc.htm). I feel, IV should support such laws. We want the citizens and law abiding people in this country to support us; not the illegals.
Are you kidding?????????????
This bill will only lead to profiling!!!!!!!!!!! and never in the world's history has profiling been good. Come out of your "slave" mentality.......... Today these laws are targeting illegal immigrants. Tomorrow what are the chances that they will do the same for legal immigrants? Or are you hoping that you will be a GC/citizen by the time such laws are proposed and implemented and there fore do not have to worry........
Read some articles that are out there against this bill - you will understand that it takes away resources to fight crime.........wonder if you will feel so safe then or do you live in a gated community?
As for nothing in the bill that is harmful to us - have you got any idea on how politics works? "You scratch my back and I will scratch yours" Find a single legislator who will take on legal immigration issue, that will not be opposed by the hispanic community and the anti immigrant community (even the ones that say they are for legal immigrants - divide and rule or have you forgotten your history lessons back home)
come out of your shell and look around. Everyone around you are humans and that is how they have to be treated and not as legals or illegals or hindus or muslims or christians or hispanics or black or irish or whatever else.......

Hi,
I will be traveling during May to India (Bangalore) with a 3 hour layover in Frankfurt (Lufthansa). Is there anyone who has just returned through frankfurt without a transit visa?
What is confusing is that on the Indian website of Lufthansa it says that "Expired Visa with I797 extension notice accepted " Check out the last line in bold font.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transit Visa Regulation for Indian Residents
In order to ensure a smooth and hassle free tansit through two Schengen States or when booking a Journey from India to USA via Canada, please pay attention to the transit visa regulations.
Indian passport holders in possession of a valid visa to USA and traveling to USA via Canada require a Canadian Transit Visa.
Routing Example : Bengaluru - Frankfurt -Toronto- Newark - Frankfurt - Bengaluru
In the above routing, the indian resident would require a Candian Transit Visa even if there is no stopover in Toronto.
Indian passport holders in possession of a valid visa to their final destination, but transiting via two Schengen States, require a valid Schengen Visa.
Routing Example : Chennai- Frankfurt- Paris -Chicago- Frankfurt- Chennai
In the above routing, the Indian resident would require a Schengen Visa even if there no stopover in Frankfurt or Paris.
Indian nationals can Transit without Visa via FRA/MUC if holding a valid visa for the destination and a valid Visa for any of the following countries
Bulgaria, Canada, Cyprus, Ireland, Japan, Liechtenstein,
Romania, UK and USA (Expired Visa with I797 extension notice accepted - Schengen Visa.

Its beyond me, why would EB3 go back to 2001 when new numbers will be available beginning Oct 07. Disappointed and mad
No surprises for me at least. There will be only 816 new EB3 visas available for any country in October. This will move the dates at the most by a month or two and this will continue for ever until a new legislation is passed, that is why DC rally is all the more important and everyone should focus on that to bring in a change.
For folks wondering how I came to the 816 visa number
Total GC available = 140000
7% country limit = 9800
split for EB3 = 3266
spread for each qtr = 816
Good Luck to all and don't have high expectations because you will be disappointed when the bulletin comes out.

He is driving this country in the right direction, and you go with any republican who just talks nonsense of tax cut and national security, you may have a green card or even citizenship - and your children will be wishing to go to another country as there are no opportunities here!

misdemeanor charge and green card
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I may be charged with Misdemenor Class A for Domestic Battery around 15th of Nov/1st week of december(Court Dates).
Am I screwed for green card? I applied for 485 in July, got EAD.
Will there be a Deportation process involved? I am prepared for the Worst hpoing for the Best...
Guys, need your advise....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Charge sheet is on Class A Misdem..
This is my first offense.. I have not had any offence at all...
Will being on Probation cause a issue. I spoke to my Immigration lawyer.. he said I will be called for a Interview...
He asked me to tell the Criminal Lawyer to try to get supervision. but he said not to plead guilty...
When I relayed the same to my Crim lawyer,, he said it will be difficult to get Supervision if we plead not guilty...
So does it mean Misdemeanor does not qualify for Deportation?
I am cofused whether to plead guilty or not...
Were you witness to what happened in his home on that day?? If not, don't be judgemental....leave that to him and his wife and to family court. IV is not for "every good cause"...we are having very difficult time ourself...
Looks like you already received GC and you have great & lot of time to get into other issue.

Thanks so much man! Actually I was all set for Sept 13 but have a work appointment on Sept 18, yet I am even thinking of cancelling that to attend. I don't care how expensive it is. This is historic, just like Martin Luther King's Civil Rights movement! We can make history! It's an investment in our future!

Right now with the unemployment at > 10%, immigration reform is a tough sell.
For the average joe, an immigrant is a job stealer; despite the evidence that immigration creates new jobs.
So I wouldn't pin my hopes on any immigration reforms, until the unemployment is below 7% or so.
If this is true, how come CIR is one of the main agendas of democratic party. Also remember hispanic votes were a deciding factor in the last election. GOP acknowledges that. Moreover voters demographics has changed since last election. Electorate is comprised of higher percentage of forward thinking younger generation.
IMO anti-immigrant racist voter percentage will be on decline in coming years. So democrats/gop is better off catering to the likes of this younger generation.
