... I personally find, Ombudsman's posts quiet interesting and good food for thought. They are put forward in a very professional manner unlike some people who use insults and sarcasm...
May be you do not know the meaning of three red dots for TheOmbudsman (it used to be two red dots this morning), which is "so many IV members do not like his postings" i.e, TheOmbudsman is "anti-IV"
FYI, if he does not like a posting with the word "CIR", why can't he ignore the post instead of replying to it with an assumption "people who mention CIR supports amnesty".
IV members support CIR just because it has EB reliefs (manager's amendment) - is it not simple enough to understand?
As someone pointed out from TheOmbudsman's posting, what "Rumsfeld resigning" has to do with immigration? What food you get from here?

Allow me to emphasize a different section of the text:
Snips from Nov 05 Bulletin (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_2712.html)
The AC21 removed the per-country limit in any calendar quarter in which overall applicant demand for Employment-based visa numbers is less than the total of such numbers available.
>> As per my understanding, When there are no per country limits, It can be assigned to any one with oldest PD. Not that it is working like that with USCIS. As I said, before in my previous post, we can imagine these visa numbers tagged with the category name beside them. <<
The way I read this is that this particular AC21 rule only applies if there are no cut-off dates in any category (for that calendar quarter). This is clearly not the case in this bulletin, where the cut-off date for EB3 is set to July '05. Hence, the new interpretation seems different.
During FY due to anticipated heavy demand, the AC21 provisions are not expected to apply ...] This will mean an Employment per-country limit for FY-2006 of approximately 10,650.
To illustrate the effect of the reduced per-county limitation during FY-2006 on the oversubscribed countries, it should be noted that during FY-2005 India used approximately 47,175 Employment numbers.
>> I have spoken with an attorney and he expressed above similar opinion where we might not have noticed how numbers were overflowing and NOT overflowing to demand or lack of demand. Either way, This is not a panacea for the problem at hand as there is no clarity what so ever in either procedures. <<
Maybe I'm misreading above statement, but it sounds to me that because of higher demand (of ROW), AC21 wouldn't apply anymore, and instead of 47k in '05, India had only received 10k in '06.
Note that I think the immigration system is broken and needs to be fixed. By changing their interpretation, they are only taking away visas from one group and give it to another group. I can certainly see why people who are affected by this would be biased. No harm intended.

Yes. If your visa is current in July. Then you have whole July to apply. Even if you deliver on Sundays. but i have no idea whether they accept application on Sunday's..
Now with this bulletin, is it not dates are CURRENT for the entire month of July?
Can any one please explain, if August bulletin (say released on 10 or 12 th of July ) can change it. That is can August bulletin change PD effective July?

The reason some of us long timers at IV are ired with the Ombudsman is because this drives us off message. We end up discussing non relevant topics.
We have one goal. Relief for thousands of us who are stuck in limbo because of antiquated immigration policies for skilled immigrants.
Today is a good day for us. Why? Because any change is better than the do nothing congress before this one. We need to be energized and reinvigorated to take this race to the finish line.
In times like this the Ombudsman is a distraction. His views are a distraction. When you start feeling helpless or get the age old feeling that nothing will happen, you have lost the battle.

Risker,
I am very glad that you brought this point. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than suing the DOL. We may not sue DOL on their inability to clear the backlogs, but we can definitely sue them in their utter and deliberate disregard to FIFO procedures (mind that some people with priority dates in 2004, 2005 have already got their labor certifications, but some with priority dates in 2001, 2002 are still stuck). When I read on the DOL web site that they have tried to maintain FIFO, it makes me feel like puking.
Some folks have pointed that the lawsuit is not worth, as it has little chance of winning. To me personally, more than winning or loosing, it is a matter of bringing injustice to the light, as Gandhi has said something in this line: First step against injustice is to make it visible. This law suit will bring public scrutiny to the misdeeds of the DOL.
Even if all the backlogs get cleared by September 2007, severe damage has been already dealt to our lives. Though I am close to getting my labor clearance (I filed RRI few weeks back), I am strongly in favor of continuing with the law suit even after getting the labor clearance.
Let�s get IV�s attention and support in this area. Let�s talk to AILA. Let�s write letters to senators and house representatives (congresswoman Lofgren may be good person to start with). Let�s write to media personnel. Let�s do whatever needs to be done to expose this insult and injury to the immigrants who waited in the line for years and followed rules of the game.
I would strongly suggest talking personally to IV leaders about this. These are folks who by now really have a feel about how things are handled out there. They will suggest the best way to tackle this issue and am sure with their mature guidance, this is a very simple techinical issue that can be resolved. You are literally just saying "SIR, I WAS HERE BEFORE. I KNOW YOU ARE BUSY AND POSSIBLY FAILED TO NOTICE ME, BUT HERE I AM, AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR LONG TO GET YOUR ATTENTION". honestly I dont think even USCIS wants to hurt you purposely, its just that the traffic of new PERM thing has overcrowded their desk and mind so they have shelved your applications unknowingly. PLEASE SHOUT OUT----THROUGH IV ONLY. let them realize that we have a strong organization and ONLY ONE STRONG ORGANIZATION.

whats with the quotes...comparing to Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr...Please dont kid yourself.
They did it for their country and fellowmen to be free from the clutches of oppression (a much serious issue than green card i think). Although even that is extended selfishness (cos of being Indian or African American) but they dedicated their entire lives for that cause.
We are not even close...this is just for MY GREEN CARD!
am i wrong?
Don't you think you are not free from the clutches. If getting some green card relieves so many people from clutches why not fight for it?

Excellent idea!! Senior citizens are quite active politically and many of them are more mature given their age & experience. We should certainly take this one up...

Thumb-up for the DC Rally! I think our efforts will be long-term. We got to get the idea across to as many people as possible. Rally is powerful, but we also need to use other types of campaign--big or small to get our voice heard.
One idea my American friend shared with me was to make presentations at retirement centers or community centers/ events. We need to be visible and our contribution to the country made known.

Wonderlust and Jazz:
Can you guys team up and take this action item to explore this option.
Please communicate in e-mails or PMs from now on. I would be glad to assist you two.

I am in a lot of stress. Please help out if possible.
Six years on my H1B expire in April 2008. I just got laid off from company A. My last day of work will be May 31st. I have LC and I-140 approved with company A.
If I join company B starting June, and transfer my H1B to B, can it extend my H1B beyond 6 years based on the approved I-140 I had with company A? If yes, will it be for one year or three years?
Gurus please help. I will be grateful.
Thanks
Don't worry..you still have time..start hunting for a job and you can transfer and extend your H1b for 3 years based on I-140 approval(beyond 6 years).

Initially when I first got here, I was elated at a wonderful process to elect the President. It seems like the whole country was interviewing the person for a position. After having witnessed the one in 2000, 2004 and now this one, the entire questioning process is a waste of time and mere charade.
The issues at hand are so go damn complex where no one liners or one minuters could do justice. They always seem to have answers for every god damn question which is just impossible. Even the most intelligent person usually comes to an area where he has not framed his answer and would like to consult.
Specialized topic like Stem Cells to global issues of Global Warming, War, Poverty and very personal issues like religion and abortion, these folks seem to have the right answer in one minute.
By listening to their answers, you are generally getting deceived. While all this is said and done, people however 'third-world' or 'first-world' they are seem to vote for the party and not the person. So, war-mongers and most arrogant pricks would still vote for McCain and others may end up with Obama.
After all this rant, what does it mean for us in terms of legal immigration? Nothing -- coz you really do not know what they actually think and will do when they become one.
