I am really concerned. Employers will lobby for increase in H1-B.
Well, at least most of them. If it comes to either H1-B or GC, they will obviously opt for H1-B increase.
So, if in the last minute, only H1-B is increased and not GC (Anything can happen behind closed doors negotiations) we will have more H1-B with the GC dream and suffering like us.
I think our Web fax should categorically state that we support Only GC related provisions in the skill bill. Else, at least, I plan not to sign the petition.
We don’t want to be supporting a cause outside of ours that will eventually indirectly
affect us. It will also affect many starry eyed new H1-Bs chasing their ever elusive GC dream. Haven’t we all had enough.
Does IV has any role in this step?
It would be difficult in the current situation to have a resolution of EB retrogression issue without putting it along with either H1visa (lobbied by industries) or CIR-like (lobbied by pro immigrationists and agreeable to majority of senators). I think this is as good as it could get. The other alternative would be to add clauses or amendments to existing 'guiding laws' of immigration by Congress which is a far cry. Looking at the language and treatment in past 4 or 5 versions of immigration bills since last fall, I have seen that H1 always get clubbed together with EB visa numbers and so it would help to wait and see how this bill evolves thru the legislative processes. Can this bill come under the lobbying prowess of IV to make sure EB specific clauses are not diluted?
BTW, what happens to those holding foreign PhDs or equivalent degree/training in specialized areas (apologies if this question had been answered before)?

You are missing the whole point. If it was the way they worked it's fine, or if that's the way they are going to work that's fine too. But the only reason this was being done so fast is to churn out the maximum pending EAD's with 1 year approvals, so they come back to us with $340 checks next year. If it wasn't greed than they wouldn't have put point 5 and made EAD free only for post July 30 filers. If they were really loaded with application they would have done 2 years AP too.
And don't talk about India here. We are the people who paid peanuts to study Engineerings, doctorates etc from world renowned Institutions. We harldly pay for any services provided by the govt. And above all, what are we doing in return to our countries since we left. We never even bothered to go back and check how's our motherland doing.
I feel we don't have any right to talk about India....
To what one member said; we don't like it both ways. A question to the original poster. Had this been an emergency and USCIS delayed your EAD by three weeks, I bet you would be screaming and yelling at their inefficiency. Yes, the system is broken. Look at the bright side. At least an attempt is being made to fix it. If this were India you would be paying a hefty sum to God knows how many people to get something as simple as a birth certificate. And let me ask you one other question. When was the last time you picked up a phone and called your local MLA hoping that he or she will resolve the water problem in your area? Again, you would be paying decent money and runaround the MLA's private secretary to get ten minutes on the MLA's calendar.
So dude, put-up or shut-up. Things are changing and if you want it any faster then you should give up your day job and dedicate yourself to the cause.

Yes but that is when the provisions of the bill come in to effect.
There is another clause which says "Any pending visa applications filed before the INTRODUCTION of this bill will be counted under the old system". In other words all the I-140s filed after May 15th ( Or June 19th) will have to be re-filed under the merit system if they are not approved and GC received when the Bill is in effect. That Effective date is the one you are refering to. Introduction date is when the bill was added to the senate calander.
Yes. On page 291 bottom, that phrase is there (line number 40, section b). It talks about keeping those petitions intact. I believe the effective date is still October 1st 2007.
There is a reference about labor certification applicants keeping their priority dates. The expectation could be that BECs will clear all petitions by September 30th 2007 and there would be a rush filing for I-140s before October 1st 2007.

Thanks GCard_Dream.
Sleuths. Bring out your magnifying glasses, pen-torches. Search the bill and look for 'unused', 'visa' and 'Sch A'.
This vote is a test only and so no time to relax.
There goes the supplemental bill and any hopes of getting any relief by Feb 15th.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070213/ap_on_go_co/congress_spending;_ylt=AmFxyhCYs5och8xea1qWeR3MWM0 F
However, logiclife has indicated that there is a very good chance of CIR being debated in the Senate sometime in March so we should get ready for that now. Folks who were opposed to I-485 provision must be having a great day today. :)

I am not sure if it's that easy to figure out from wage level whether PERM Labor falls under EB2 or EB3 category as there are PERM with wage level IV and Job Title Welder (which I assume cannot fall under EB2 category) and besides that for Microsoft out of 1200 labor only 44 are under Level IV.
Good Luck.
If you scan the PERM data from fldatacenter. There are approx 3200 EB2-I (wage level IV)certified labors for PD up until 06/01/2006. Not sure about BEC certified labors. Based on the perm data ,DOS just needs approx 10000 visa number to clear the EB2-I PERM cases. I think DOS is right on.
Note: some of you have considered Level III in their calculation which is not correct. Because I am EB2 and my Labor says level IV for wage level.

I disagree with you. I will try again but you can continue to disagree with me.
Guy from ROW joins Company A in 2001. The Company A files his EB2 ROW in 2004.
Guy from Retrogressed Country (India/China) joins same Company A in 2001. The Company A files his EB2 India in 2004.
That is absolutely right. I would also extend the argument from the perspective of the sponsoring employer.
The excessively longer wait would make the employer biased against hiring people from retrogressed countries with similar skills/experience.
Especially since this is an employment based category, I believe your line of argument should work!

Gurus,
I would like to discuss about changing from EB3 India category to EB2 India category. Currently the PD for EB3 India is somewhere in October 2001. We know people with PD November 2001 to current waiting for GC to get approved. Now the questions I have and topic I would like to discuss are,
1. Do you guys think that people with PD November 2001 to November 2002 should change the category from EB3 to EB2? (If they are eligible and if they want)
If you have any reason that these people should stay where they are and wait, please share your opinion.
2. Do you think that that people with PD November 2002 to November 2003 should change the category from EB3 to EB2?
3. What about people with PD after January 2004?
4. Where do we draw the line? We need to help our community to make the best decision on whether to move it EB2 category or stay where they are.
Thanks.

Are you from different world. Yes it is necessary even to get the H1. Now I understand why the anti-immigrants are targetting us. Do you mean to say the English speaking people diminished this country. Can we replace all these guys with mullas. What are you trying to say..
Hello ... I m responding to a some one who dis-respected my fellow citizens . So what do you say English speaking guys are great IT professionals ? To work on computers you need brian and understand bits and bytes not english .
I think you got my message wrong all I m saying is you dont have to be a great english communicator to qualify for EB2 , unless you are applying as professor .
In 70s most of the towns having only local language schools and stuided in local language schools , thay may be part of reason why some of them dont communicate well ..That doesnt mean they can not work on computers ...

Ok..I know I should read thru the older posts, but didnt get a sense of what is required in my case, so I am posting the question online.
My wife was on her independent H1B. she travelled out side the country and was readmitted on H1b. After that she turned in her 2 weeks notice and has started working for another company on her EAD.
We have not applied for our AP previously.
My question is this:
In Part 1 , Q3
Class of Addmission
Should she put H1B (last admitted as)
or would it be Adjustment of Status (since she is using EAD)
Also, what kind of supporting documents need to be sent?
I-485 copy
EAD Copy ( yes/ no)
I-94 H1B issued at POE (yes/no)
2 passport sized photographs?
anything else?

The SKIL bill was introduced in the Senate in May by Senator John
Cornyn (R-
TX) and was subsequently incorporated into the Comprehensive
Immigration Act
of 2006. We discussed its effects on the H-1B and EB categories in the
June
2006 issue of SHUSTERMAN'S IMMIGRATION UPDATE. See
http://shusterman.com/toc-siu.html
Although the legalization and guest worker provisions of the Senate
bill
have been written off by many pundits, we believe that there is an
excellent
chance that some version of the SKIL bill will be enacted into law
before the
end of 2006.

There is no minimum number of weekly hours for an H1B petition. There are some H1B workers who hold several part-time positions. This is common particularly in academic settings where individuals may teach part time, or where a single position may be funded by more than one source. (This requires multiple part-time H1Bs.) Thus, potentially it would be possible to obtain an approval of an H1B for just a few hours per week.
�MurthyDotCom
Since nothing in the regulations specifies an amount of time each week that an H1B worker must work to remain in status, it is possible to be in status as an H1B worker with a part-time job. There is no guidance on this matter as to any minimum hourly requirements. There is some old guidance on H1B workers attending school, which states that it is permissible, but that the H1B employment must be the primary purpose for being in the United States. This might be helpful by analogy, but even this guidance does not specify hours.
