Pappu,
Would you encourage people to post it in other immigration forums? We'll surely get plenty of interested people to participate and to fund.
Appreciate your great efforts!

Did anyone research whether it is possible to get some relief through rulemaking, instead of legislation? For example, there is no 'explicit' prohibition against issuing employment authorization to spouses of H1bi employees. The rule-making agency (in this case the DHS or USCIS) can grant a benefit that spouses be provided with employment authorization. Recently, the USCIS actually did provide regulatory relief by de-coupling the H1bi period of stay from the period of stay in H4 status. An idea to consider...

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?
Yes, by removing "or" from (I), adding "or" at (II), and adding (III). I think this is how it would read. How do you think it should read?

The intent about letting foreigners come to work in US is to fill the gap between the demand and the local availability of skills. It is not about rewarding the foreigners academic skills.
If you want to work here, then get skills in a field where there is a shortage here and you will not have problems with H1 sponsorship.
When you did your Masters degree in US, you should have been more smart in selecting your area of study.
Why should US allow foreigners to work against its citizens when there is no shortage of skill.
Your frustation is understandable from your perspective but definitely not from a US citizens perspective.
I really take exception to that comment. I have 2 Masters degrees (one from the US)...unfortunately they are not in Engineering/Science. What people don't seem to realize is that it is extemely difficult to get an H1-B if you are from a Humanities/Liberal Arts background. I'm a teacher and there are jobs in my field...the only problem is that school districts/community colleges/universities are unwilling to sponsor H1-Bs!

According to him, we do. I'm slightly worried but not excessively so. I think we're gonna be ok. I'll call again in about an hour, so check back on here soon for my update.
Thanks BornConfused. Does this mean that we might get our GC approved between now and September 30, 2007 because the visa numbers have been allotted to us?
I will wait for your update. Thanks again.

I understand - I took it all as a healthy debate, I certainly didn't intend to offend anyone. Its been one of the most interesting debates I've had in a while. Hermione, I sincerely apologize if any of my posts have been interpretted otherwise.
I agree completely with Hermione. Look at the data. It is clear that USCIS is processing applications "quickly" (I quote the "quickly" because I mean relative to other bureaucracies).
The average time for processing (not including NC, since that isn't within USCIS control, is approximately 120 days). The goal is 180 days, so they are meeting targets (you can argue about the target if you like, but in Canada the processing is more like 220 days).
The stupidity of giving more and more money to USCIS to speed-up processing, when they are already meeting the targets can not be overstated. The problem is not with USCIS, it is with the fact that there aren't enough visas, and that NC process can take years. If you want an answer to "the problem" you need to make sure you are asking the right question...
Of course, USCIS management doesn't complain about the additional funds they keep getting (what self respecting bureaucrat would?).
Quite frankly, I have dealt with many bureaucracies in my life, and USCIS is amongst the most efficient I have ever encountered (I am not sure if they are efficient per dollar spent, but ignoring what they cost, they deliver pretty darned good service for a government agency).
If users keep (wrongly) insisting that USCIS is the source of the problem, then congress will keep throwing more money at them (and USCIS will happily accept it), and that little slice of the time that USCIS is responsible for will keep getting smaller, but it won't do you (or me) any good, since the lack of visas is the real problem.

I am a healthcare professional on an H-1B because I am not a nurse nor a PT so I don't fit into that elite Schedule A Club! Ironically, there is a far greater shortage of professionals in my field than in nursing (PT's are still in high demand), but I don't qualify for Schedule A so I'm stuck between two worlds. To be quite honest, I'd rather be stuck in limbo with you guys than to be grouped with them any way! Keep hoping, keep smiling and something good will happen!

Hello,
I'm also in the same situation. My labor is approved May 2007. I'll need to apply for both 140 and 485 together. Can I do it at the same time ?? or do I need to file my 140 immediately and then 485 after a few days. Time is running out now, as we never know when USCIS would again stop accepting 485s. Please advice.
Thanks
I think you can file I-140 and I-485 at same time. You no need to worry.

Dear Member of Congress:
As U.S. employers, education institutions, and trade associations representing the future of American
innovation, we are writing to urge your support for three bills that will make necessary incremental
adjustments to the employment-based (EB) green card system. The measures � H.R. 6039, H.R. 5921
and H.R. 5882 � enjoy bipartisan support and should be enacted without delay this year.
America�s scientific and technological leadership is at a crossroads. To remain the world leader in
innovation, U.S. employers must have access to much-needed and sought-after highly educated talent �
including scientists, researchers, teachers and medical professionals. Foreign-born professionals make
great contributions to the U.S. economy and create good, high-paying jobs for all Americans.
U.S. employers rely on EB green cards to keep foreign-born talent living, working and innovating in
America. Yet, despite the critical importance of these visas, Congress has failed to address the well
documented backlogs in the EB green card system that leave some foreign-born, highly educated
professionals waiting over six to 10 years to receive a permanent resident visa.
The three bills will address many shortcomings in the EB green card system. For example:
� H.R. 6039, by exempting highly educated, foreign-born students earning an advanced degree in
science, technology, engineering or mathematics from a U.S. university from the annual EB green
card limit, would help U.S. employers retain these talented individuals in the U.S. workforce. For
example, foreign nationals comprise half of the master�s and 70 percent of the Ph.D.s in electrical
engineering from U.S. universities.
� H.R. 5921 will help put an end to multi-year wait times by eliminating unduly restrictive per
country limits on EB green cards.
� H.R. 5882 will help to reduce visa backlogs by �recapturing� EB green cards from prior years
that went unused due to government processing delays and making them available immediately to
those who meet the requirements.
Without these incremental reforms, U.S. employers will continue to be crippled in the global competition
for the world�s best talent, as more and more extremely valuable professionals from around the world
take their education and abilities to competitors abroad.
While permanent reforms for the EB green card system will be critical to U.S. employers� long-term
ability to hire and retain key worldwide talent, H.R. 6039, H.R. 5921 and H.R. 5882 are common sense,
incremental reforms that should be enacted this year. We again urge your support for these important
measures.
Sincerely,

To core IV team members,
Do we are sending any "thank you faxes "to the congress man who orginates the skill bill?
-----
To me it looks like a ploy by Republicans:
1) To fracture the support for CIR and isolate the undocumented workers
2) Republicans already enjoy support of the anti-immigration lobbies, what better than to add legal immigrant lobbies to their support base. Contradictory, yes, but a suave political move to confuse voters further.
Strategically, when one doesn't enjoy clear majority support, this is a perfect political move.
3) If this were a betting game, I would put my money on,"Nothing is going to happen on SKIL till after the Nov. elections" horse.
4) If Democrats win the House in Nov. the SKIL will have trouble, because it is sponsored by Republicans. If Republicans retain the house, well, SKIL bill would have served its purpose.
5) Even if House passes the SKIL bill Senate won't pass it because they already passed a comprehensive bill. They won't want to appear to be partial to legals and overlook the undocumented workers.
These are my thoughts on SKIL bill as it stands today, I may be wrong.
