Actually I am the first person who pitched the idea to IV of Issuing Temporary GC when visa is retrogressed.
Looks like some bill must have been sneaked in and passed and been signed to law by our honorable prez. I WISH. :D

I have been successfull to motivate a co-worker (EB3-ROW) to contribute to this cause.
Guys, remember not only India/China are suffering, EB3-ROW is also impacted . Forward this to anyone from EB3-ROW that you know

Not insider information but I do have access to a lot of rfe's and issues that are going on in the EB community:
USCIS revoking approved I-140's
USCIS adding up all 140's together and asking companies to prove ability to pay for all candidates together
department of labor auditing just about every eb2 labor
vermont and california service center giving very difficult rfe's to h-1b's - change of employers and extensions (they are actually denying them to)
Consulates sending complaints to department of labor when h-4 goes for visa stamping and they see primary hasn't received paystubs from entry into usa
companies closing down because fines/penalties from department of labor are too much.
random visits from department of labor and ICE to employee homes
IRS auditing per diems
It really seems that the government is making a concerted effort in giving the employers and employees a very difficult time. Started getting tough in 2004 but have really ramped it up a notch in last nine months.

Excellent news!!
I am real optimistic that introduction of a separate bill (SKIL)will definitely make its way through. Passage of CIR is primarily restricted because of illegal issues. I hope the house and senate look at the passage of SKIL Bill as a critical step (even if some don't like it).
Wait until they start getting to the details before being optimistic.
By the way, how long does it take for a bill to get debated and voted on from the time it is introduced? Months? Years??

With all due respect oldmonk the point of the thread was to get people more involved and work towards the greater good in our movement...
Not to dismiss your thoughts on this thread but lets move on and use your experience in guiding newer folks on this site in better helping our common cause.
We have seen a tremendous response to the Omnibus drive and with a collective effort we should be in a position to help the EB immigration situation.

I flew Air France once in 2003. My connecting flight from Paris to Delhi got delayed by 12 hours. When I approached the Air France staff, they told me that since I had an Indian passport, I would have to wait out the entire time in the transit area. Meanwhile, they proceeded to make arrangements for other non-Indian passengers. They even refused to acknowledge my attempts to reason with them, either not replying to me, or replying only in French. I filed a formal complaint afterwards, but never got a reply.
I have travelled on numerous times since then, but never with Air France. I don't even consider them as an option anymore.

I wonder at what point of time this "three years of U.S. work experience" applies from. Is it that you should have 3 yrs exp when you applied for labor or is it when you apply for 485??
If you have an approved visa (I-140) and 3 years exp then you can apply for adjustment of status (I-145) . Because of the virtue of your 3 years of US work exp you are exempt from the availability of visa numbers (quota). Labor doesnt come into play here, you still have to have an approved I-140.
This is my understanding and I don't think this amendment will see the daylight.

Get copies of your 140 approval and labor filing papers. Look for a job and transfer h1b , you will get 3 years transfer/extension based on yiour approved 140.
Once you settle down in your new job, apply for new Labor in PERM (preferably EB2) , and you can port your earlier priority date.
Yes, thats true. I was wrong in mentioning April 2008. You might get a new H1 for 3 years based on approved I-140

The most important part of rally is the lawmaker meeting because they decide to bring up the bills and then vote on them.
There are 635 lawmakers: 100 senators + 535 house members. It would be great if we could set up at least 1 meeting with every lawmaker and more meetings with immigration sub committee members.
example 1 (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=170156&postcount=4457) and example 2 (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=170176&postcount=4458)

I second this idea.
Why can't we move from a free service to a membership based and see how many people still continue ... evenif with 25K members it is only a handful who are active and part of the initiative ... so I would suggest to go for a membership ...
it could be a per month basis or pay a big amount and get membership for life or year ... say $200 for a year or $20 for a month ... we don't need the number/mass unless they are active in all way ... just my thoughts ... hope the IV core team will consider that ... enough of free rides ... now pay for it and get the access to forums ... :mad:

Well, when I meant stay here, I obviosuly didn't mean forever. We should know within next year or so where various immigration bills stand. If anything is at all feasible or not. If nothing gets passed I agree not much point in staying here, i agee with all the points you said, we are indeed sacrificing a lot here.
I accepted the fact that working for the same company and technology has pretty much killed my technical career. So, I have been working for the next step.
As for the GMAT and PMI, already working on that, I have been taking PM certification courses at Berkeley Extension and should take GMAT in next 3-4 months. The moment, if at all, I get GC, I will be back to school.
I realize that this job is just a stop gap for me, as is for many of us, if I ever get my GC I will quit it at the earliest possible time.
But my point was while we are here, we need to increase our efforts to get these legislations passed. If there was no CIR or skill bill our situation would have been hopeless.
We just need to work harder and we will have a legislation passed in our favor. It does require a lot of work from all of us, I am suggesting simple stuff, just write letters to senators and media, every week, if all of us do this every week, someone is bound to hear us.
If things dont work out in our favor we all will have to go back, and we will find that out in next year or so. But everyone, including lawmakers, realzie the fact that if so many temp worker quit and go back, this country will come down to its knees, at least for few days/months, till they find replacements.
I am more hopeful, I think we will get one of those bills passed for our favor.
Don't think of giving up, let's intensify our efforts, it may seem far but the next turn might be the one for us.

From talking to dozens of people I have met in my MBA program, including folks from MIT, Harvard, etc my lesson tells me this:
If you work in financing or executive positions - for example if you plan to work as a financial analyst at Wall Street - then yes, it makes sense investing in schools which are highly ranked.
For those of us coming from IT related positions and now aspiring to move into project management roles, even IT directorship or CTO position, then ranks become very, very irrelevant. I agree at that point a good MS in information management or MS in telecommunications would be a better deal followed by inexpensive PMP type of courses which you could pay from your own pocket.
If you get an MBA from Sloan or Wharton or Harvard or Berkeley, nothing like it. I know of few people who have not done very well after getting MBAs from these schools. If you want to continue writing comp. programs, then of course there is no need for it. But how many people want to do it forever?
But I agree with Tito to some extent. Especially, if the degree is from even a slightly lower ranked school like Arizona or Northwestern, the returns are not there, and there is a great deal of evidence in that direction.
Having actually studied this data (and being in the business of teaching) gives me some perspective.
But it's still just my 2 cents.

Overall - $5000.
Advance - $2500 within 30 days to start the work.
Is the overall work something like 100K that they have divided by the number of requests to yield 5K per request? Unlikely. I think they just sent standard 5K demand to each FOIA request to shut it down.
Even if they pay me $2500 for pulling out this info. Just 5 mins job to run the query and imagine if they get 10 requests per day. Man I wud be a millionaire within no time.
Atleast they acknowledged that it requires highly skilled individual(from their perspective) to do the job. :eek:

Pappu,
I have helped in some other initiatives, but not donated money primarily because I was disgusted with some folks calling non-donors as free loaders. Anyway, since it is needed for our cause and our voice at this moment, I have donated $50. First time ever! Do keep up the good work that you guys always excelled at!
