Although I agree with you on principle...that cannot bring people in numbers. There will always be people who don't agree with each other. leadership involves channeling both parties energies, those who agree with me and those who don't agree. Sounding arrogant, feeling proud of what I did better than others and looking down upon people who don't agree with me, doesn't help me, right? Who am I to judge somebody's attitude and achievements?
While i whole heartedly agree with what you stated above i don't think this idea is going to work. IV certainly will not want to take the risk of anti-immigrants being part of the advocacy effort and skewing things on the day. Messing up before the representatives will not do IV's credibility and good.
Infact all the donars in this site who keep asking me for donations would not want even me to be at the advocacy even if i donate, seeing how i disagree with them on principle. They would not want to risk me being part of the advocacy group
If i who believe in IV but does not believe in the approach as the approach does not provide relief to badly retrogressed categories is a risk for advocacy then the risk of anti immigrants being part of advocacy is even bigger
On a side note it is good to see some one from EB2 having a rational argument and calling a spade a spade

Actually, Paul can answer only in binary. So, we must frame the question accordingly:) ( Pick one box or the other )
we should ask him when EB3 India will get current? He will stop eating after that. :)

on 630 KHOW (Capliss & Silverman).
Congressman Udall spoke at length how the conference committee is formed, how it operates and how decisions are reached.
One thing he said is particularly noteworthy. He said, he reads his fellow congressmen and the mood of the House, and at this moment there are 300 congressmen (out of a total of 525) willing to vote in favor of the senate version of the comprehensive immigration bill as it is.
As I said in my posts elsewhere in IV, let's keep our eyes and ears open for the opnions of representatives and follow up on that.
300 out of 435 Reps is a huge and victorious number! Or, did you include the 100 Senators in the broad definition of Congressmen? Even, then 300-67 = 233 is a successful number in the House!

I agree with Ronhira. He is not campaigning for dems.
What he says is right. There is more to saying "he is doing a lip service, didn't fix this, didn't do this", etc.. Yes, he would have said that. But there is a lot more to think about than simply saying "he didn't do xyz". He deals tons of things day in and day out, and with a lot more force.
We need to completely come out of our frustration mode and think about that. Its not a one man job to get a bill passed. It take A LOT!
He inherited the worst economy when he assumed office and he took it to thus far. He got the healthcare reform passed, which is as sensitive and as complex as Immigration.
Don't say I am campaigning or pro-dem. I don't care a dime about politics. :D

Isn't it a relief? if the officer calls you for interview, checks your documents and says approved but no GC till PD current? I can live happily with it for couple of years atleast without thinking of GC. The feeling of getting GC in future 100% is almost equal to having GC today. You can change jobs on AC21 without fear and use EAD and AP full force and forget about renewing H1b's

I don't know how much time you took to complete AMIE.
Longer is better in this case.
I finished my AMIE in three years and I am in trouble.
If you took four or more, then you are lucky.
May be you can request a letter from IE, Calcutta mentioning the timeframe you took to finish AMIE.
That helps to support AMIE is a four years degree.
Regarding MTR, may be you can tell your attorney that similar AMIE applicants got I-140 approvals and your bad luch that it got stuck.
If your ed eval says you have bachelors, then you can tell your attorney that you have the qualification and you want try one more time.
My personal recommendation is go for another new labor with EB3 and draft it accoring to your qualifications.
Once the I-140 is rejected, then it is a bad remark.
All next I-140's will be linked and tracked. So it is difficult to convince USCIS that you have bachelors. Even though you go for MTR, you can buy time and it is hard to get positive results from USCIS. This is all my guess.
It is always better to go for EB3 new labor as you have some time.
Thanks and all the best.
Here are the details of my case:
Hi All �
Please I need some help urgently!!! Here is what I am going through �� My I-140 got denied on Aug 28, 2008.
My education is 10+2, 3 years diploma in engineering, AMIE in Mechanical Engineering and 2 years PGDIE (Post Graduate Diploma in Industrial Engineering). I am working with the largest enterprise software company and hence a big law firm as well. I have total 15 years of experience (12 years after AMIE, 10 years after PGDIE).
In my labor it�s clearly stated that the bachelor equivalent is needed.
Labor Priority date: 5/10/2007
8/7/2007 I-140 petition filed for EB2.
8/7/2007 Adjustment of Status applications filed.
8/7/2007 EAD application filed.
8/7/2007 Advance Parole application filed.
9/25/2007 USCIS Receipt Notice received.
10/23/2007 EAD approved and valid till Oct 2008.
6/20/2008 EAD renewal application filed.
Not sure when my lawyer got request for REF. However, I was asked to get more detailed information like transcripts / mark sheets with regards to AMIE. I submitted whatever my lawyer asked for.
In the mean while, my wife got a job. I asked my lawyer if it�s okay for my wife to start working and they said yes she can and there will not be any issue her visa status. My wife was on H 4.
7/1/2008 RFE Submitted
08/28/2008 I-140 / I-485 got denied
I still have valid H1.
I-94 Expiration: 4/10/2009
Estimated Final I-94 Expiration: 11/25/2011
My questions are �
Is there a known case of guy with AMIE got it through EB2? If so what needs to be done?
How do I convince my attorney that we should go ahead and file the MTR.
Please help!!!
Thanks

Just a quick update
Today my checks got cashed and from the back of the checks I got the receipt numbers. I was able to track these numbers on USCIS site and the EAD application for myself and my wife is now pending at TSC.
So the mailing address to Mesquite, TX turned out to be the correct location for me to file...

Hi Guys,
My LCA has Computer Software Engineer as job title.I have 5 years of Experience as Oracle functional consultant.Currently I'm working as Oracle consultant.My 140 is approved and got my EAD card.In jan 2008 it will be 180 days of filing 485.I want to change my career towards IT Sales.
I have an offer from an American Staffing company as a Technical Recruiter.The job responsibilities include hiring Software Engineers.But the job title is different from my LCA.I want to join this company using EAD in jan 2008 and apply AC 21.Today I have checked with my Lawyer this is what she says"
In instances such as this, when we send the letter to the USCIS regarding AC21, we include the following details with reference to the job title. … Although the job title differs, the job duties are substantially the same. The title used by the company is their internal designation for this position."
She says that i will be able to work as Technical Recruiter using EAD.Any one can suggest me on this?I have very little knowledge about AC 21 and how it works
Thanks in advance

Hmm, I am an oracle apps programmer too, although my job is more technical and less functional. Recruiting talent is a whole different job role than working as a functional Oracle apps consultant. Functional jobs (Oracle or SAP) is pretty much business analyst job, in my opinion.
Now, you may use the same knowledge as you do, but still, its a different role and I think its highly risky to do this change. For example, let's say, you use same knowledge to work as a professor of computer science in University or as a practicing software solutions provider. IN both cases, you use same talent to do your job and use same knowledge and skills. But TEACHING is different job and providing software solutions is a different job.
Same way, staffing/recruiting is different from doing functional analysis and I would be surprised if the job descriptions match close enough to fit in same job code. Try to get a good lawyer to match the job descriptions and interpret them into job code and see if the job codes are the same.

I would save expenses of atleast one year in an emergency fund before putting extra money towards house payoff.
In better job market you can reduce your emerency fund to upto six months worth of expenses and move rest of the money to reduce principle you owe towards your house.

All those who have contributed please send me the details via private message so that this thread does not get swamped - I will work on it next weekend.
Thanks ramaonline for your help. Instead of relying on PMs lets open a new thread... The PM folder may overflow -- I think opening a new thread and asking contributing members to respond will be a better idea. Should I open the thread?

UPDATE: My company attorney suggested talking about this in April, and I am nervous about waiting till then in limbo - things are only going bad to worse, I might as well find a job at a place which will sponsor a PERM sooner rather than later.
I request you to PM me if you have any leads for such companies might still be a good bet for filing a PERM.
uhh..damn immigration process..
I was in similar situation last year. This what my attorney told me after layoffs. They have to wait 6 months after layoffs in the company before filing PERM again. The perm filing process in big companies take atleast 2-4 months. So if they are planning to file after 6 months then this is right time to start collecting documents. For this to happen it might need little push from your manager.
If your company is in a situation where they are planning to layoff people continously over the next year(I know one big company which is doing this) then it is better to talk to lawyers right now and decide the course of action because there is no point in waiting until april. If your manager strongly supports your case then some times lawyers can pull off tricks like there are no layoff with this particular skill set or in this division etc..
I dont know of any big company that is hiring. If your resume is hot(has specialized skills) then put it in dice or monster you will always find employer.
You can always switch to consulting and find consulting company which applies for GC right away.

Its not a legal loophole. Some states just do it that way. Their under pinning argument is that you are on a temporary visa and does not have permanent residency. Also, its not the University that makes up the rules. There is some thing called domicile office in most schools and they determine residency for in state/out of state purposes. The domicile office has specific set of instructions on how they should determine eligibility requirements for in state. For example common wealth of VA has state council for higher education (http://www.schev.edu/Students/VAdomicileguidelines.asp?from=students) that provides these guidelines. Check out what AZ has to say and if they say only permanent residency is a requirement to be eligible for in state, there is nothing much you can do.
Also, its not a federal violation as states decide what they want to do with their university systems. If you want you can write to your state senators and assembly man and see what they have to say. Its very difficult to explain them these nuances when there are a bunch of people crying out loud that many illegals are getting in state rates.

Hello Friends:
Recently Vermont center processing time for H-1B extensions moved to Oct-1-2007. As per new USCIS reporting method of processing times, what this means is, they have COMPLETED processing applications received as of Oct-1-2007. This means, people who have applied for extension after Oct-1st should be getting their approvals these days.
I want to find out which dates currently they are at based on your feedback of your application date and whether you received approval or not as of today.
My case: Applied Oct-30-2007 Status: Pending
Thanks.
My H1B extension applied on Nov 10th
Status :- Pending and No lud's so far.

Hi All,
I am in a very strange situation. I filed my PERM LC in Jan 2006 and approved in March 2006. While we are preparing for I-140, my company found LC Sub with the PD of Jan 2003 and filed I-140 based on that LC Sub in June 2006.
My LC Sub based I-140 is still pending since June 2006. Then in July 2007, I filed AOS based on that pending LC Sub. I got the EAD & AP. My wife has started working on EAD also.
Still my I-140 is pending and PERM LC is going to expire on Jan 13 2008. My company lawyers are saying that if the I-140 is not approved by Jan 9 2008, they want to withdraw my pending LC Sub and file a new I-140 using the PERM LC.
Question 1: If they do this, what will happen to my pending I-485, EAD & AP?
Question 2: Lawyers are saying that they have to withdraw the LC Sub based I-140 because the job descriptions are different? Is it not possible to file a totally new I-140 and keep both of them pending?
Please help me decide guys!
