is UNLIKELY to pass at least in its current form. Public hospitals, underserved area clinics, Universities are not Google and Oracle!!! They'll go under if they have to pay 5000 $ for H1Bs. People probably don't have the faintest idea under what kind of financial strain these are. There will be exemptions for universities and non-profit organizations.
Not only the 5K filing fee , One have to do newspaper advertisement like PERM the cost of lawyer fee and I read somewhere One year extension for H1b beyond 6yrs since I140 will be out of the picture. :eek:

The visa restrictions, Cap and rules for H1 and H4 all were framed to protect American jobs. If H4 is given work permit then there is a fear that one more job may be taken from the American people. I am not telling it is correct but everyone are in that situation. Also we cannot resolve all the issues. L2 can work H4 cannot work is discrepancy. But one person working in a home will not have any stress especially when there is kid. We have to consider this is an advantage

I agree... i dont think its wise to call USCIS about the VB fiasco... the operators are probably minimum wage paid and are reading off of a book/compter screen.. not the ppl who can make decisions.. if it werent the us govt, we would have calling up even lower paid workers in India/Philipines and hearing from them... instead of calling USCIS, please spread the word, create awareness in the political system, press and media..
What a bunch of morins we are. We are calling USCIS to find out if they are going to accept our applications that were sent on Jul 2nd 7 55 am and Jul 2nd 9 01 am will be accepted. Lord have some mercy on us and give us some brains to read the USCIS update. Damn it. The morons who answer the phone lines do not know jack about W T F is going on. Thats why you were being put on hold. Stop calling USCIS crazily.

Guys, let me say something here.
$5000 for one query is not an unfair amount of money. The reason I say this is because I know a thing or two about writing quality queries, I have done that for the last 6 years of my 9 year career querying the heck out of Oracle CRM.
It does take time to write queries and the time it takes depends on how many pieces of information you want to bring together. The wider your spreadsheet is for the final output, the more islands of data need to be connected to fetch that output. Those who are familiar with SQL would know that I am talking about going thru potentially 20-25 tables and joining them to get data. This is probably not going to be a select * from 485_cases kind of query. If it takes 100 hours of time to write such a query, at $50 per hour of programming time, it could be 5000. Most likely it may be fewer hours if they have a programmer with knowledge on staff.
The problem here is not 5000 dollars. The problem here is that the situation is hopeless because they dont assign country of chargeability to pending 485 cases up until they are ready to approve them, if I read it correctly. The data that is not captured is the data that cannot be queried, simple as that.
And on that note, thanks to "Needhelp!" for shining some light on USCIS process thru her FOIA.

You still have time to arrange your plans and attend! Here�s why you should come:
You have probably made up your mind not to attend the rally. Perhaps you think that already many people will attend and that one more or one less person (You) will not make a difference. But it will! In fact, let�s not even think about whether one more or one less person will make a difference. Rather, I invite you to think this way: Do it because it�s right! Do it for yourself! Think to yourself that you would do this even if you were the only person attending the rally. Think of Gandhi. Think of Martin Luther King.
You have been very frustrated for years with this broken immigration system, right? Perhaps you�ve been stuck for years, no raises, spouse cannot work, children aging out? How many times have you wanted to tell Congress what�s on your mind? This is likely your ONLY CHANCE to do so! Again, think of this in terms of you attending even if you were the only person attending. Attend because you are mad. Attend because you want to see change. Attend to make yourself visible, and make everyone out there know of your silent struggle. The silent struggle that you have had to put up for years. Even if that�s all you do, you will feel better. People will know the unfairness that you have been treated with! Attend because IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO! If your friends are not attending, try to convince them, but if they choose not to go, don�t let that influence you! Sometimes in life we have to do things just because they are right, no other reason. Will this rally work? Will lawmakers listen? Will my employer be mad that I took a day off? Will I have to spend $500 to get there? None of that matters! The only reason of why you should attend is because you have been abused, and you will not take it! You have dignity! You will go and tell Congress to stop messing with you unfairly. You have the power, freedom and OBLIGATION to do so! Your children will be proud of you. If you do not attend the rally, it will be a once-in-a-lifetime lost opportunity! LET�S GO! WE CAN DO THIS TOGETHER!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes immigration reform was on many of their lips....all we can do is hope they consider it sooner rather than later...but who on earth trusts politicians. I am still thinking that the embittered Democrats will try to strike hard blows to pave way for a Democratic President in 2008...that is going to be there main agenda - by repealing tax cuts, calling committees on War, etc to take the Pres to task....They have called that out too many times...for us to ignore that it will be their # 1 priority.

I thought only who have advanced degree from US universities in STEM with 3 yrs exp are exempt from quota. That's what the talk all over the media. I am not sure how this is going to be, because 3 years of US experience is not very hard criteria to meet for which some of the votings won't go well. But have to wait and see.
Here is what the amendment specifically says and this exempts all US Masters/Ph.Ds and foreign masters/Ph.D in STEM with 3 years experience.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
`(5) WORLDWIDE LEVEL FOR MERIT-BASED EMPLOYER-SPONSORED IMMIGRANTS.--
``(A) IN GENERAL.--The worldwide level of merit-based employer-sponsored immigrants under this paragraph for a fiscal year is equal to--
``(i) 140,000, plus
``(ii) the number computed under subparagraph (B).
``(B) ADDITIONAL NUMBER.--
``(i) FISCAL YEAR 2007.--The number computed under this subparagraph for fiscal year 2007 is zero.
``(ii) FISCAL YEAR 2008.--The number computed under this subparagraph for fiscal year 2008 is the difference (if any) between the worldwide level established under subparagraph (A) for the previous fiscal year and the number of visas issued under section 203(b)(2) during that fiscal year.''.
In section 501, insert after subsection (b) the following:
(c) Providing Exemptions From Merit-Based Levels for Very Highly Skilled Immigrants.--Section 201(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (as amended by section 503(a)) (8 U.S.C. 1151(b)(1)) is further amended by inserting after subparagraph (G) the following:
``(H) Aliens who have earned a master's or higher degree from a United States institution of higher education, as such term is defined in section 101(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1001(a)).
``(I) Aliens who have earned a master's degree or higher degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics and have been working in a related field in the United States in a nonimmigrant status during the 3-year period preceding their application for an immigrant visa under section 203(b).
``(J) Aliens who--
``(i) have extraordinary ability in the sciences, arts, education, business, or athletics which has been demonstrated by sustained national or international acclaim and whose achievements have been recognized in the field through extensive documentation; and
``(ii) seek to enter the United States to continue work in the area of extraordinary ability.
``(K) Aliens who--
``(i) are recognized internationally as outstanding in a specific academic area;
``(ii) have at least 3 years of experience in teaching or research in the academic area; and
``(iii) who seek to enter the United States for--
``(I) a tenured position (or tenure-track position) within an institution of higher education to teach in the academic area;
``(II) a comparable position with an institution of higher education to conduct research in the area; or
``(III) a comparable position to conduct research in the area with a department, division, or institute of a private employer, if the department, division, or institute employs at least 3 persons full-time in research activities and has achieved documented accomplishments in an academic field.
``(L) Aliens who--
``(i) in the 3-year period preceding their application for an immigrant visa under section 203(b), have been employed for at least 1 year by a firm or corporation or other legal entity or an affiliate or subsidiary thereof; and
``(ii) who seek to enter the United States in order to continue to render services to the same employer or to a subsidiary or affiliate thereof in a capacity that is managerial or executive.
``(M) The immediate relatives of an alien who is admitted as a merit-based employer-sponsored immigrant under subsection 203(b)(2).''.

:D you talk as if the president has the power to do any and everything. If that was so then CIR would have certainly passed last year, it was GWB's pet project.
(IMO, mcain is honest man and a well tested politican, dont want to comment about obama. dont want to get into the discussion about who is better. I wanted to comment about the power of a VP when she becomes a president if and when the president dies. people talk about the VP being a heartbeat away from the president but nothing about having an inexperienced and untested president...anyways...)
if Obama wins:
+ its better for the world in general. The last thing we want is more of GWB policies destroying both America's economy, civil rights, and respect in the world.
- his best friend Durbin will again pick up the stick and start beating up on H1 sponsoring. EB will also get run over by the same bus.
- FB immigration will be put in preference over EB, we are screwed.
if McSame wins:
+ my taxes remain low
- CIR is back. 13 millions illegals will get in line. points based system for EB immigration and we are all screwed again.
- if McCain does not live through his presidency, the biggest country and economy in the world, with the largest number of nuclear weapons, the largest amount of military spending... the rome of our time, with nearly unlimited power and presence around teh world, will be run by a mayor of a small town. Rember her trying to get her brother-in-law police officer fired during her sisters divorce? And when the administrator refused her requests, he fired him? Remember how she emails people off-the-record from her Yahoo account? Remember how she CC's her husband on official emails? Do you want someone that stupid, who already abused whatever little powers a mayor and governor has, to be the commander-in-chief of the united states armed forces?
Either way immigration-wise we are screwed. I think for the sake of the rest of the world we must wish that this time McCain loses this election. He has made a very stupid VP choice.

I heard from my lawyer today that my LC was finally cleared. When I heard the news, on one hand I felt a sigh of relief, but on another hand I was still feeling angry. It took almost 5 years to get the clearance in spite of being a simple straightforward case. I was simply exhausted with the long wait time and there was simply no energy left to celebrate. Though my LC has cleared, I still would like to join the fight against this injustice. If there is any effort on anyone�s part to address this injustice, I would like to support in any way I can.

and other IL immigration related events, people from the chapter say that they will show up. But they will not. They do not even have the courtesy later to tell that they had something important to justify their absence. This is what ticks off leaders who are working hard.
If you say you are coming to an event and are unable to do so, either inform asap or after the event, have courtesy to send an email explaining why.
Being active in IV is an indication of your character. If you are timid and scared, you will continue to be SCARED for the rest of your life (no matter the country you reside in). :)

Yes , its Free :D Anyway - lets talk with a 3rd person (maybe USCIS) and confirm. Its Free, if you read the EAD forms its clearly written that once some one pays $340 ( not other amount) it becomes FREE for ever. I just checked the EAD forms again before writing this post - let me PASTE from EAD forms if that clear the confusion.
Renewal EAD: If this is a renewal application and you
applying under one of the following categories, a filing fee
not required:
1. (a)(8) Citizen of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, or Palau;
3. (a)(11) Deferred Enforced Departure; or
2. (a)(10) Granted Withholding of Deportation;
4. (c)(l), (c)(4), or (c)(7) Dependent of certain foreign government, international organization, or NATO personnel;
5. (c)(9) or (c)(16) adjustment applicant who filed for adjustment under the fee structure implemented July 30, 2007.
No it is NOT free from there on.
Btw I just got "screwed over" by the USCIS ;). I "missed" the June 30th deadline by 5 days. Our EADs got appoved today. If only the USCIS was as effieicient with 485s as it is with monetary screw overs :rolleyes:
