There are a lot of folks speculating that dates might move back, but honestly it does not make sense. My interpretation is dates will move faster.
Moving "back" implies directionality, whereas moving "faster" implies speed - these two are as unalike as chalk and cheese. How does your interpretation refute those speculations? :)

I don't think it bodes well for anything that is sent to the Table. This Senate Language Glossary has what "motion to table" means, essentially something that senate does not want to Consider. This Amendment(1249) is said to have been ordered "to lie on the table" not sure if it is same as the motion to table. But, I think we should hope for an amendment that does not have a table associated with its status.

Actually I made mistake in my math,
$20 (2% of $1000 monthly bill) * 2k ( 10% of 20k IV members) = 40K per month
I guess 10% people with $1000 monthly credit card bill is not too optimistic.. is it?
One simple way to measure this is, lets have poll. ( how do you create poll?) I have never done it before.
poll choice should be
Your preference to contribute to IV
Choices are
1) I prefer to contribute $10/20 cash monthly
2) I prefer to use IV branded credit card, Let CC company pay 2% of my cc bill every month.
3) I prefer Google ads on IV website...I promise to click on 10 ads every day ;)
One important question is, does IV loose any charitable(non-profilt) status by issuing a CC?
-Naushit.
First of all, "promise to click 10 ads a day" does not seem like a good idea, and it will land IV in trouble if ever google ads show up on IV!
Now, when you read the following... YOU stands for each one of the people who are waiting for the IV credit card, the google ads, and similar such by-products of their apathy towards their own cause!
I am choosing the word "apathy" because IMHO waiting for google ads or the IV credit card is just another way to evade the question-- what have YOU done to help the only grass roots organization of volunteers like YOU who work tirelessly to get YOU out of this mess?
If clicking away 100 ads a day or paying for junk food with your IV credit card is the only way you can contribute, that's just lame!
And what is the guarantee this will work?
The IV credit card, if it becomes a reality, will not give YOU any cashback, and so YOU will continue to use your cashback generating costco amex cards and similar such credit cards.
The only common theme is... YOU want to find ways to evade contributing to IV.
Gosh... some of YOU folks are making IV sound like IT (Income Tax) :D

Those of you who are thinking that you can write a SQL query in a snap, you are egregiously mistaken.
The CLAIMS database, which contains the AOS/485 petitions is neither a SQL database nor a modern CRM application. AFAIK, It is a legacy Mainframe system and needs significant effort and rare expertise to extract the data.
Ideally, The Country of Chargeability should be in there. But these systems were built around 92 or before and the requirements gathering probably might not have thought about retrogression or carelessly left it out. What ever it is, it is not in the electronic format, it is almost impossible to get the biographic information unless a physical check is conducted. We can cringe and cry all we want, but not a lot is going to happen on the CC
The good side of the issue is, Since EB-3 ROW is beyond 2004 and we have per country PERM data (not completely accurate, but significant), our statisticians and operations research folks will break down both data and get some thing that is valuable and accurate above 90%. We can safely assume that more than 90% EB-3 Pending before 2005 belong to I, C & M.
What bothers me is the requirement of the definition of Priority Date? You would expect some one in the CIS/NRC to know what a priority date is. Don't ya? Any ways, We are working with members who received the response to get a better answer from CIS to determine further action.
Stay tuned and we will let you know.

It is 200% certain that the politicians will not touch the immigration topic in the next one year. Even after best efforts of the president the immigration bill failed in the senate few months ago.
One and only one thing that can be tried before Nov 2008 is the recapture of visa numbers from the last five years. I think IV should push for that.
Other than the above not much can happen, get ready for really long cold winter and then a looong hot summer. I wish things were better.

President drives the policy. He decides which laws are to be considered, which policy is to be formulated. He tells that to the Congress asking Congress to fix an issue. Say President wants Social Security reform, he will ask congress the kind of social security reform he wants. If a member of congress agrees, he or she will propose a law. Majority leader in the Senate and House speaker schedules the vote on the floor and they drive their "House" but the policy is driven by the President. Veto is not the only thing that a President does although in the current Presidential debate, you will hear about the macho-ism of candidates based on how many bills he/she vetoed, as if to veto a bill Governor or future President will have to lift 500 pounds for the "people's sake".
Although there is always an urge to over simplify things in real life, maybe because over-simplifying makes us looks good by suggesting easy solutions to any complex situation, maybe that’s why we want to believe that Republicans are better than Democrats or Democrats are better than republicans, easy pick problem solved. But like most things in life, the immigration debate is so convoluted and complex that any one party is not for/against any specific issue. It is very easy to find republicans who are opposed to our provisions and democrats who want us out of here.
Also, here is a reason why I opened this thread and why comments from Sen. Obama to the question of employment based green card is important. I don’t know much about ever complex politics and immigration, but I am a frequent visitor to this site and learned a lot about the issue during Durbin Grassley bill. In CIR of 2007 had provisions that were designed to eliminate AC21 and visa extension beyond 6 years. If that happens now, a lot of people who really don’t care who wins the election will be asked to leave, in most cases immediately. 2007 CIR was designed by Sen. Durbin. Sen. Durbin is also Campaign Chair for Sen. Obama. Sen. Durbin will drive President Obama’s policy on green card and H1 issue. They may intend to stop so called “exploitation”, but in the process as always is the case, they will be foolish enough to pass such provisions to punish the people that are being “exploited”, which I guess is us. And if they pass laws to abolish AC21 Section 106 (a) & (b) and if they remove 7th yr H1 extension, which at this time is tip of the ice-berg, I hope you can imagine how rest of the things will shape up. My intent of opening this thread was to find out the intensity of Sen. Obama’s reply and see if his administration will be able to withstand an onslaught from Sen. Durbin in preventing any foolish provisions that have not been thought through.
I guess now you see the relevance of the position of Sen. Obama on this issue.
And BTW, "interested in legal immigration" is a very lose term. It can mean lot of things. The writing is on the wall, be prepared for the Durbin roll-over in Obama administration. If you are waiting for the green card next year, you was in deep deep very cold water.

PD, I don't agree with the phrasing of the new Labor Cert clause. That is not how I read Frist's bill. Did you make up the new labor cert clause yourself?
Will advanced degree holder need labor certification?
I think they will. Here is how the new labor certification clause will read:
So labor certification is required for advanced degree holder in STEM with 3 years of US experience prior to applying will be treated as special a case.
Also, this clause says that the degree has to be from a US university. I think Attorney Mathew Oh is wrong in saying that graduate degree holders in STEM from foreign universities can apply too.

I posted this below when everyone was busy talking about lawsuit against and USCIS, and there wasn't a single response to this!
07-03 12:01 AM
what is the lawsuit and who gets benefited?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My labor was pending in Philly BEC from 2003 May. Last month they asked us to do a TR and we're in the process, though my original LCA was filed in RIR. So I didn't get a chance to file my papers on 29th June. As thomachan72 said, there are many IV members whose labor is still in BEC.
Tell me, what is the lawsuit and who gets benefited? For those who are on B1, L1 and filed on 29th June? (No offence to any individuals)
What about members like me?
What about the members who were not smart enough to file on 29th June?
I’m a contributing member of IV and IV’s major agenda was the legislation, which allows filing of AOS, even with retrogression. If we win this lawsuit do I get a chance to file my I-485? Or the unfortunate members who haven’t filed on 29th June?
IV shouldn’t deviate from it’s agenda and leave the lawsuit to AILA attorneys who where dreaming about windfall with the announcement of EB visa number availability. Why would IV collect money from members for somebody else’ cause?
Dear members, please don’t take this personally, I was forced to express my feeling when I read all these posts!

Seriously...both r of no use as far as legal immigration is concerned
very true...both are mainly interested in the vote bank politics and EB immigrants are too small in number to be of interest to them.

We need to do something for sure. I know that most of EB3 folks are stuck for GC more than 7-8 years. I don't see any good progress for EB3 in the future.
I would request from everyone to wake up and take a proactive step. I am ready to give any kind of support.
The problem is most of the EB3 people are happy with their EAD's. and I guess since EB2 looks promising now - they wont care much about EB3 or retro ..so I dont think anybody is going to wake up. maybe we should go to sleep too :)

NJ Senator Robert Menendez reply:
Dear Mr. XXXX:
Thank you for contacting me to express your support for the Real Enforcement with Practical Alternatives for Immigration Reform (REPAIR) proposal. Your opinion is very important to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond to you about this important issue.
The REPAIR proposal seeks to reform our immigration system by strengthening border security and interior enforcement, and requiring all employees to use biometric Social Security cards to gain employment. In addition, the proposal looks to implement a fair path to legalization for those already here and it includes proposals to enhance family reunification.
I believe we can create reform in a safe, orderly, and legal process that preserves the promise of America for all. It can create a pathway towards citizenship, make the process for receiving green cards more efficient, and create employment systems that are both business and family friendly.
America has a proud tradition as a nation of immigrants, but our immigration system is unarguably broken. We must enact practical, smart, and substantial immigration reform that reflects current economic and social realities, respects the core values of family unity and fundamental fairness, and upholds our tradition as a nation of immigrants. I believe substantial immigration reform is possible this year.
I have been persistently working with my colleagues to create and pass legislation that would enhance border security, while also providing a legitimate way for the estimated 12 million undocumented workers to come out of the shadows and earn United States citizenship. These undocumented workers should pass a series of strict and critical benchmarks, such as paying fines, learning English, and waiting at the back of the citizenship line behind those who have pursued legal means of attaining citizenship.
Comprehensive immigration reform is indeed an attainable goal and I believe that the REPAIR proposal provides a foundation on which we can build upon. Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Please do not hesitate to contact me if I may be of further assistance. I invite you to visit my website (Robert Menendez - US Senator for New Jersey: Home (http://menendez.senate.gov)) to learn more about how I am standing up for New Jersey families in the United States Senate.

My friend, you have not seen the complete posting. I mentioned around 15 times that my lawyer has filed G-28 and AC21 together in May this year.
My lawyer is one of the best in southern California and i am with him since joining new company. He is going to check with TSC for G-28 and if they didn't updated one then i will have no choice but to ask old lawyer to forward the notice to me.
Sorry I missed that part. As you lawyer side is already taken care of, then I guess I would do the same that you have been thinking of doing. Take an infopass appointment, try to get a copy of the denial notice and also check if they have the updated G-28 in your file. By the mean time, let your lawyer do whatever he possibly can.
Also, as a professional courtesy, your lawyer should provide everything to the new lawyer once requested. Hopefully, the old lawyer will maintain the courtesy and won't cause any trouble.
Please keep us posted and good luck.
