If you read my post carefully, I am suggesting this 'in addition' to what's already on IV's agenda. Why can't we work on this item in conjunction to what's already being worked on? I have started preparing a fraud list from a bunch of websites like desicrunch.com. I noticed that almost 90% of firms reported there are fraud firms and it makes me wonder about the efficiency of local authorities. Also I don't see how targeting blood sucking desi firms would feed the anti-immigrant trolls. I would think we Indians would benefit the most since it would increase our credibility in general. Thanks for considering this idea at least. I would like to know other people's thoughts based on my clarification here. This drive might clean up cases freeing up visa numbers for genuine EB cases from India. Why should I be in line with crooks ahead of me? It doesn't make sense whatsoever.
And yes, my contribution to IV so far as been $1000 and involvement in other drives. Your question to me regarding my contribution made me squirm a bit since you might have categorized me with many of IV's freeloaders. That's just like Americans asking me all the time "Are you on an H1-B visa and do you work for a bodyshopper". :)
But I will work on making new contributions as well.

Where are they allocating visa numbers for this category from ?
Fresh visa numbers ?

Employment based category?

I am not sure why we are still behind this bill and wasting our money and resources,
everyone here needs to realize we don't need to sweeping legislative reform to address our concern, all we need few guidelines to impliment current law in more sensible way,
we simply don't have resources/strenght to address this issue letz not fool ourself anymore and letz put our moeny where mouth is

eb3napa,
thanks for the clarification. I have a BE and an MBA form India with over 6 yrs experience in the USA and elsewhere. Not sure if i qualify as advanced degree.
So peopel with advanced degree can move out of EB3 or any EB quota is it ? Their PD will be current ?
Not necessarily getGC. I am EB3 but i am a Masters from the US. Sometimes for fresh hires lawyers play it safe by applying in EB3. I had emailed someone at competeamerica.com and they had mentioned that an "advanced degree" is either a masters or a PhD. You mentioned that you had an engineering degree from India. Is that a B.E. or an M.Tech/M.E.? If you have a master's degree from India, you need to ask ur lawyer if that qualifies as an advanced degree.
But even otherwise, it still benefits you, coz say even 20-25% of Current EB3 have master's degrees, they will be out of the queue and you will be benefitted. I know it doesnt sound like a benefit, coz it is not a direct one, but if you look at it from a different angle, you will see it.

I just called and got a similiar very supportive response from the staff. She mentioned that she is getting a lot of phone calls about the 3 bills and will let him know about it. Go IV Go :)
I just called and spoke to a staff member at Lamar Smith's office. Apparently a lot of calls are being made :D. She knew why I was calling before I could tell her. I was told that the Rep. has not made a public stand on these bills yet. I told her that I would like the Representative to support these bills if and when they come to the floor.
Keep calling, guys!.

Now when explained like this anyone would understand. Also do see the point you are making and is worth a try. Is the core team looking into this? Do they need any assitance from us?
Some are good, but some are hard nuts, they take immigrants for granted. A lot of silent suferers constantly remain silent and crib about these Attorneys because they cannot move out of their companies and have to depend on them.
Some may not understand things in a good way

I really hope sanity returns to the group and we make a concerted effort to get the current bills passed. As it is, we have an uphill battle, and now, if internally people start thinking that we are better off without the bills, we will never get anything done.
For people who are confused, unsure, unclear about the benefits of Specter/Frist's bill, the benefits are enormous
1. Right now, you have to wait 7-8 years in Eb3 category to get GC. Even if Specter/Frist's bill pass in the current form, and you are in Software, you could get yourself a MS in Comp. Science and get EAD in 1.5 years. Can you imagine the benefits of that?
Ask yourself the question - am I ok with my situation for the next 7-8 years?
The bill is not bad in its current form - we just want to make it better for us by including favorable clauses like 485 filiing and AC 21.
Do not always start looking at the darker side of things - we need something to happen to end the immigration imbroglio we are in. I cannot re-emphasize the need for a bill to pass this year that will contain EB provisions.

Hey Risker,
It is a FACT that you/your class is more agrieved than any other possible class. But we need to be high on intellect and low on emotions. There is reason to wait till SEP. Besides although I am not sure but Labor and I-140s are for the Employers and Employees take over only in the I-485 stage. So we need to strategize instead of doing wishfull thinking. Its lot usefull if we be analytical in these threads rather than pouring out emotions.

USCIS accepts AP renewal applications 120 days in advance of expiring AP. The normal processing time for AP is approx 1-2 months (usually it is about a month). Keep in mind that the new AP which is issued will have an immediate effective date from the date of issue and the start date will not be from the expiry date of old AP. So in most cases you will end up losing some days or even months. If you do not forsee any immediate need to travel you should wait till 30-40 days prior to old AP expiry and then apply. If your travel plans are unknown and you may have to travel if an urgent situation arises, then you should apply 120-90 days in advance to make sure you have AP validity at all times. You will obviously lose some days or months... but then who says everything that USCIS does is fair :)
Dear Friend,
thanks a lot for your clear and precise reply--in both your emails. I also assume (and if you could please clarify that), that an individual also has to pat another $305 dollars during renewal application for the AP. Thanks again.

If you have plans of doing an MBA in future, then Canada would be a better option than US. Otherwise as uma001 points out, doors are closed for most professions except 38 occupations.
H1bslave, in your case your PD is Sep 5 EB2. I see something in the distant horizon. PD of 2007 and beyond or EB3-India I see no hope.
Atleast you can survive on a lifeboat called EAD and AC21.
Note that list of occupations changes constantly. I lived in Canada for 20 years after coming as PR on point system. It works well there, if you think money is not everything. Education is equally good. People, of course are far nicer and friendlier. Even border immigration and custom staff show a friendly face and attitude..

I requested (actually begged) my employer and attorney to pursue EB1 as well - they said no - lawyer's response is EB1 is very difficult and you should be someone of nobel prize calibre etc.etc.
...
I went ahead with another private attorney to submit another EB1 I140 separately which is still pending.
I understand your self-petition is in EB1-EA ("extraordinary ability") category, right? If your employer's lawyer had to file EB1 on your behalf, she/he had to do this in either EB1-OR ("outstanding researcher") or EB1-ET ("executive transferee") category, depending on whether you are employed in academics or industry. That may mean more paperwork for the lawyer and/or expense for the employer, which might explain their reluctance in pursuing that option. And in general, a lawyer hired by your employer does not always have your best interest in mind (unless it coincides with the interest of your employer).

Come on, man. We are paying too much attention here. Look, there is always somebody stuck somewhere. People are stuck in BEC, in other contries. People are stuck in Afganistan, Bangalore, there are hungry people stuck in Africa. So? If there are hungry people, then I can't enjoy my dinner then? Someone always has to come and say "you enjoy and there are people stuck somewhere"? What's your reaction would be if someone come on your wedding and start complaining that he is impotent? - these are a little extreme examples, just to make a point.
I'm a June filer, and this July thing will hit me too, but I still congratulate those July filers. So what? I understand that we will start getting our EADs in a year (so we would be applying for next EAD once we got current one). I understand that USCIS officers will be irritated and pissed, they will be under tons of application and everybody will be calling and bugging them. So? I realize that it maybe will take 3-4 years for us to get GC. So? I realize that DOS might retrogress now dates for many years on Oct, and will not do the same stupid mistake as making dates current and unleashing the voluntary slaves. So?
Today was little tiny success and it was day of tiny celebration. There is day for complaining and there is day for celebration.
Bestia, you are again correct. This is tiny success and lot of hardwork has to be done to make this whole GC process a smooth process. Your posting keep the web alive.. cheers.

Of course. In fact this type of career change is required if you want to port a PD (EB3->EB2) while using experience gained with the same employer to qualify for the job.
What if one changes employer? Can this be done in that case as well?

Patience my friend - iv is a disparate group of people some of whom like you are hungry for action and others who are busy caught up in stuff. Getting to organize a group is tough in the best of times and given the current environment when they are in the line of fire of congressmen backed by hordes of hate-mongers and anti-immigrants masquerading as public-policy specialists and grassroot actvists with a friendly media filled with reporters who are ambivalent about immigration themselves, you can't expect a group to form overnight to tap your energy and skills! Why don't you do some research meanwhile - I have been trying to find out something about the director of a group called cis which wields enormous - or ginormous is more appropriate- influence on the current debate and I cant find anything about him beyond where he went to school! granted he is not a politician so we're not entitled to personal details and i'm least interested in it but for someone actively influencing public policy and discourse with millions of lives on the line, so very little is known about them. Once again, dont expect people to be courteous and receptive to courtesy overnight.
