lame duck proves that there was only one guy (sessions) who didnt wanna vote for us and it stalled, but now in the senate whr a majority vote counts how imp wud his vote be?
there is a whole house to take into account now that the LD is over. That is where it was stalled last time. Now there are even some Dems opposed to CIR in it.

Before you accuse me of coming up with an arbitrary date, I suggest you do some homework yourself and go read the draft. I have posted the content of the bill where it explicitely specifies the cut off date (date of the introduction of the bill). If you don't want to do any reading and just pass comments then go ahead and do that but that won't change what's in the bill.
Having said that and as some lawyers have pointed out, this is a bill in progress which is changing by the minute in the Senate. If there is an amendment to change the cut off date and if it passes then of course we don't have to worry about it but I haven't seen any amendment to that affect, have you? By the time it reaches president's desk, if it does, the bill may look very different but as it stands now that's the cut off date .. like it or not.
By the way, it is not up to the USCIS to decide what to enforce and what not to enforce. If it's in the law, they have to enforce it. Executive branch doesn't make law; it simply enforces law that are made by legislative branch.
As far as I can interpret from what I read in the draft, May 21st 2007 is the cutoff for the I-140 petition as it stands. Unless, we have an amendment by some senator who takes pity on our plight and the whole senate agrees to it, that is the cutoff. I am already in a panic mode and helpless at this point. This is not a fake date.

I returned from Mumbai to DC via Frankfurt by Lufthansa, with AP and expired H1 in PP without any issue on June 30th 2010.
Hey Roseball,
Can you confirm that when you travlled to India (i guess via FRK) were you required to show your ATV. I assume that your visa was expired already in your passport.
Please confirm as soon as possible since i am travelling to India using Lufthansa via FRK.
Thanks.

Very first think comes to my mind is why are you guys coming to US if you feel India is better. Have you seen anyone from US going to India and taking up jobs. Again dont get me some exceptions from here and there.
1. US is lot better than India. Only thing lacking here is our culture / parents/ siblings which are invaluable.
2. World economy is dependent on US economy and it will be the case for next 100 years. So you are better off here.
3. You all guys talk these crap since you do not have GC. Imagine, there was not VISA problem here in US and everyone here gets GC in 6months easily, do you think our peers in this forum would be saying that they are ready to go back to India/home country. I DONT THINK SO.
Everyone wants to be here whether he accepts it or not. Only the frustration with getting GC makes him/her think in 100 different options. But the reality never changes. Every tom dick and harry from every nook and corner of the world wants to come to US because this is the land of oppourtunity and luxury.
-------------------
COMPETITIVENESS
==> What comptitiveness are you talking about? If U.S. wasn't comepetitive, why are YOU here and waiting to get a green card?
==> Career and politics: Things are always greener on the other side. Politics here is not as bad as in India (atleast in my experience). Patiently waiting in line for everything and bribing everyone in the chain have been and continue to remain rule of thumb that you talk about.
==> Life, sick and tired of laundry - Why not hire a cleaning lady and get your clothes dry cleaned?

I agree with you, the whole purpose of the FOIA was to find out the number of people in the queue to help us figure out the duration of our wait...USCIS releases a report then submits another one and there is no corelation between the PD and the VB....why?
This has been my primary issue with the numbers provided by USCIS. Given the fact that the same number of visas available for Mexico and India (EB3, no spillover) and the fact that the number of applicants before Mexico's cut off date is in the thousands, why was India's PD not moved at all. Something is not right...I am positive that India should not have thousands of cases in consular processing, infact a large number of Latin american cases are CP. Something is wrong... either the data is incorrect or the State Department and USCIS have no communication...something smells rotten somewhere. For the past 2 years or so, Indian EB3 PD has never reached 2002
the number of pending applications for EB3 India in April 2001 are 451 and the cut off date in the bulletin is 22 April 01. But in the case of Mexico, the number of pending applications in the same month is 2106 with a cut off date of 01 June 02? How is that possible?

IV should be ready to compromise
IV should forget about the increase in H1
just get the SKIL bill passed...
Do you realize that SKIL itself contains H1-B increases ? Almost every bill with favorable provisions for us contains either H1-B increases or illegal alien provisions. We are not fools to support tangential causes.

I know two friends and here is their story (quite typical)
1. "A" came in 1999 as H1, accordingly to company (company was in NY) policy applied for regular labor in 2000 EB3 category, went to labor backlog, applied for perm in 2005, went retrogession in 2005. Basically he is still in line.
2. "B" came on January 2004 as H1 for a company in Delware. Everything was current (labor was processing in 1 month for RIR) and got the GC by October 2004.
Is Priority Date fair?
I agree will all your points except for #4. Why should someone who came to this country with an intention to study on F1 visa get priority over someone who applied for GC ? :confused: It does not make any sense to give priority based on POE date. I think the current priority date concept with the labor filing date is the right one. All USCIS has to do is follow FIFO based on this date.

hey mrane1,
If u hate desi companies right? Do you honestly think that if Durbin is passed all consulting companies will go out of business? The US labour system needs short term labour and soon if not H1B, a new Y visa(as proposed in CIR) will come for consulting & short term needs. So the desi consulting company will start filing Y1 and they will flood the market if the demand goes up. Only thing is instead of H1 they'll now be Y1. So, they will still be there flourishing even more.
Also, I see a lot of posts saying that people feel sorry for consultants being abused by desi employers and they dislike it. I suggest to all these guys to go and ask any such abused employee whether he likes to continue working for his employee or like to go back home. I can assure you he would still prefer to continue working here and want to go back. Also, H1 is a transferable visa so anybody not liking can simply get a transfer too to another company. But they don't do neither of it right? This is because they till want to stay here and if Durbin amndt passes all this guys may have to go back. For him that could be a big shock but the for the desi consulting company it is just a loss of labour. they will soon start bringing people on a diff type of visa instead. So if you see carefully, you are just hurting the consultants and not the actual evil dooers.
Personally i like consulting more than full time, because there are lot of advantages but I don't want to go into that. I have a masters degree from US and I have also worked for desi consulting companies in the past and found them extremely transparent and trustworthy. But, some people mentioned that any tom dick and harry gets a job in the US through a consulting company and this adds to the green card queue. I agree to that completely but I don't think Durbin bill will help reduce that. They can make laws that consulting companies cannot file a GC for a employee until he/she has 4 yrs experience. Or, consulting companies can only file GCs on a seperate category like EB6 or 7 :) . That way the those who have perm jobs will not be stuck in the same queue as consultants. That would be a better feasible soultion. Personally, I prefer consulting job as I make double the money and I can take long vacations between projects. Also, i can change clients and accept pay hikes.
But the crux of all this what I wrote is: desi consulting companies will eventually stay even if Durbin passes. It hurts the consultants more than the companies. Is that what u guys really want? And mrane1, from where I stand the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.
I cannot believe my eyes! So you justify exploitation by desi consulting companies because the other option of going back home is not feasible! Wow... There can be no argument against such thinking... There are lots of reasons why people dont leave these companies... the biggest reason being their GC apps that were filed with these companies esp with the old labor format does not allow them!!
You agree that its the desi companies that bring in anybody with a pulse and employ all types of fradulent tactics to get them placed! So in turn who is affected? Had it not been for these guys you would get even better rates and better salary! I dont understand how people dont get it!!! I agree about the bill is not being perfect... Arguing against the bill is one thing, but justifying the illegal actions of desi consulting companies gets my pulse racing! They are solely responsible for the h1 mess we have every year! sheesh!!

Hi,
One more suggestion on Faxes. Instead of sending mass faxes to senators/congressmen. Can we do this. Delegate people (via a conference call) in each state and then send ONE fax to every congressman/senator and ask the IV delegate in that state to follow up with the authorities there as to whether they got the fax or not. Now this fax will have the banner of Immigration Voice. This way they know that an individal is not writing to them but an Organization of Legal Skilled Immigrants is faxing them. Somehow that seems like a more professional approach rather than just ad-hoc faxing. We have time to do this as well. Right now we are not contacting anyone, coz we are not sure about the right path ourselves.

Guys dont take everything the reps say as the gospel truth. The reps are trained to be polite and say that they will pass on the message no matter what. They may even give conflicting information to 2 people on different sides of the "fight". Welcome to the world of politics :).
I have actually done this a long time ago back in the end of 2005. Called a couple of times and spoke to 2 different people in the same Senator's office, but asked them for support for exaclty opposite items and they BOTH agreed to what I was saying.:)
The only time I have seen reps disagreeing with me is when they find out i am not in the Congressperson's state.
