Who are you to decide who is needed and who is not needed? Are you sure you do not access other sites for news on immigration; and, IV does not encourage people who come to it for news only?
If answer is yes, please ban my access.

I was also put into "EB3-India" forcibly by my employer - they love to see me chained , you know !!
The only future i see for EB3 India folks is charge your EAD and do "W2 Consulting" or "1099-Consulting" and make money...... Dont worry about "future employment letters" or that "last minute RFE"... That RFE is not going to come before another 5-6 years at least. If by chance your time comes , then get a permanent Job and get a "future employment letter " from them.
The whole thing that i wrote above is absolutely legal. As long as you stayed with original GC sponsor for 180 days+ after 485 application and had intention to be with them ( that time 5-6 yrs back) had you got GC - You should be GOOD...
Get it going folks - that's our future :)
I don't see a future with EB3. If you have your EAD and AP and have a dream for future. Just use EAD and do it. Save money and in the worst case go to India or UK. But live LIFE WITH PASSION.

If you friends spouse was on H1 then i think her current status with USCIS would be H1.
Since she is not working with the current employer she need to do the following things to void H1 status.
a) Start using EAD to work.
b) Use AP to re-enter the country.
c) Get H4 status change.
Otherwise her current status would be in H1.it could create some problem if beyond couple of weeks.

July 17, 2008
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,
Wow! My employer is in the list of supporters. I wasn't aware of that! I must get in touch with the corporate HR.

I think this an interesting discussion in the forum in a long long time. Allow me to jump in.
1. For those with labor stuck in BEC's, file PERM (2 months) +I-140 Premium Processing (10 days). Get a three years extension and move on to a new job. A new job always involve new challenges and learning is an excellent way to channel your energies. Point being there is a way out of the mess !!!
For others invoke AC-21 in I-485 stages.
2. Studying is another very good idea. What you study should be your personal decision. Doing MBA, or Acquiring new technical skill at local Universtiy or certifications (CCNA/CCIE/PMP). There are always things to learn and a good way to advance your career without GC.
3. For non-working spouses there is very little they can do, but Non-Profits is way to start and see if you can get an H1B later from the same or a new employer.
In nutshell you can cope up with this frustration by taking control of things that you can !!! Do not let this mess affect you more that what it should be.
For the rest let's help IV in any way we can. Have a good weekend.

Man..
All are politics. Some time back we heard that no other bills could be introduced until the CIR dies. This was told like it was fixed in stone. But now some congressmen introduces the SKIL bill. Ask these questions?
Does CIR needs to die to another similar bill get introduced?
What are the forces which drive to introduce a bill? Does a congressmen go to bed and get up in the morning with a bill?
Does congress / US Govt / people really care for immigrants? If not who cares?
Who can make any Bill get passed by the Govt? In how many days?
BUSINESS, BUSINESS, BUSINESS, TRADE, $$$$$,. Only big business people can influence anything in anywhere in the world. They will get what they want with any governments. Govt cannot run with the support of business people. First comes the business support then the mass votes.
This bill will be passed for sure before August. You and me are not behind this. Microsoft, CISCO and Oralce are the ones indirectly calling the shots. Anti immigrant groups can just talk and shout. Money($$$) will show it in action. Wait and Watch.
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??

Yes, a plumber occupation would not qualify as a Highly Skilled occupation, it isn't on the list of in demand occupations. So - are you EB3 category? You need at least a 3 year degree for that (or if you don't have a degree, you need 3 years of experience for each year missing - so 9 years experience - depending on your unspecified "equivalent qualifications" - NVQ may or may not count, but I'm only guessing that this is what you have)
If you've been waiting 2 years, you have roughly 4 more years to wait imo, but to be honest, based on the info i have, I have doubts whether it would be feasible. If you can't get an H1B because your job wasn't applicable, getting an EB green card will be very tough.
I think he already cleared LC and I-140 and his case is at the stage of consular processing. Unless the consulate has the authority to question his qualification for an EB3 visa he may get his IV as soon as his PD becomes current.

Top 5 Concerns Regarding Employment-Based Immigration in Senate Bill
1. Decimation of Employment-Based Immigration System: � Eliminates first, second, and third employment-based immigration categories. � �Merit-based" point system completely disconnects employment-based immigration from employers, who have only a negligible role in new system and are unable to sponsor specific employees for permanent residence. � No provisions for multinational managers, extraordinary ability aliens, outstanding professors or researchers. � No labor market test required to protect native-born workers. 2. Lack of Path to Permanent Status for Future Flow Essential and Highly Skilled Workers: � New Y temporary worker program would create a constantly churning workforce, as it provides only a two-year nonimmigrant visa and requires workers to leave the U.S. for one year before being eligible to renew their work visa for a subsequent 2-year period. Maximum 6 years in Y status. � Carve-out of 10,000 green cards per year for "essential" Y workers, but no bridge to allow essential and highly skilled but non-degreed workers a path to eventual permanent lawful status. 3. Lack of Adequate Numbers of Future Green Cards for Employment-Based Immigrants: � Totally inadequate immigrant visa numbers (approximately 140,000 new green cards per year until the family backlogs are cleared over an 8 year period). � Future legal immigration program (after 8 years of family backlog clearance) limited to 380,000 �point system� visas, guaranteeing that new backlogs will grow immediately, and that undocumented immigration will continue. � Totally inadequate carve-outs for essential workers. 4. Gaps in Green Card Availability � Immigrant visa petitions filed after May 15, 2007 on the basis of the current employment-based preference system will be rejected. � During the period between May 15, 2007 and the date the new merit based system is up and running (likely October 1, 2008), no new employment-based green card applications can be filed. 5. Decimation of H-1B Program: � Adds new restrictions prohibiting employers from obtaining H-1B workers where formal degrees do not exactly correlate to proposed positions.
� Eliminates dual intent for both H-1B and L non-immigrants. This would interfere with companies� ability to recruit someone from a U.S. university and seek a green card for them while employing them on an H-1B. � Overregulates legitimate H-1B employers by subjecting all H-1B employers to burdensome rules currently applied to �willful violators� and H-1B dependent employers. � Huge increase in H-1B fees (from current $1500 to new $5000 by Sanders amendment) o Will force companies to move projects and U.S. jobs to overseas facilities, and will make it all but impossible for many businesses to stay competitive. o Will inflict disproportionate pain on small firms and American innovators. o Additional fees for filing, premium processing, recruitment and training, antifraud, compliance and other legal and administrative costs can amount to $9,000 just to secure initial H-1B approval. o H-1B employers already contribute more than $127.5 million per year to U.S. job training and scholarships through existing fees. This training and scholarship fund would go up to over $200 million per year even if the H-1B cap were only raised to 115,000, as currently proposed. o Scholarship and training fees U.S. companies now pay for each H-1B professional hired are approaching $2 billion since 1999. o These fees have funded more than 40,000 scholarships for U.S. students in math and science through the National Science Foundation, hands-on science programs for 80,000 middle and high school students and 3,700 teachers, and training for more than 55,000 U.S. workers and professionals. o U.S. businesses pay over $91 billion a year in state and local taxes directed toward public education. o Increased H-1B fees are nothing more than a tax on innovation that will end up driving U.S. jobs overseas by making it more difficult to hire the highly educated talent America needs. � American professionals in "computer and mathematical" occupations are at virtual full employment, with a low annual unemployment rate of 2.4 percent in 2006. Cutting off the supply of H-1B talent will only hurt American competitiveness. � The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects growth of 100,000 jobs a year in computer and math science occupations between 2004 and 2014, the highest of all white collar professional categories. Note Re: Possible Amendments:
Cantwell Amendment (#1249) One amendment that has been �filed,� but is not currently �pending� is the Cantwell amendment which is very important to business immigration interests. We do not know at this time what will happen with this amendment � whether it will come to the floor for debate or be negotiated through unanimous consent into the final package. Nevertheless,
it is important to let senators know that this amendment is strongly supported by businesses. The Cantwell amendment would set up a parallel and complementary employer-sponsored merit-based program. This �employer-sponsored� stream would let companies determine the skill sets that they need and would like to sponsor for a green card and this employer-sponsored merit based system would provide 140,000 visas separate and in addition to those currently in the bill. This amendment would protect U.S. workers by applying labor market tests to employer sponsorship of foreign workers. In addition to dealing with employment-based green cards, this amendment also addresses some of the �grand bargain�s� changes to the H-1B program by striking the presumption of �immigrant intent� and restoring the �degree equivalency� provision. Furthermore, the amendment, while maintaining the provisions to strengthen H-1B enforcement in the bill, would eliminate overregulation of legitimate H-1B employers by striking provisions that would require every employer comply with burdensome rules that currently apply only to �willful violators� and to employers with excessive numbers of H-1B employees.
Durbin-Grassley Amendment (#1231) There will also possibly be a vote on a Durbin-Grassley amendment. The amendment would strike provisions in the bill that allow the Secretary of Labor to determine whether or not there is a shortage of U.S. workers in the occupation and area of intended employment for which a Y nonimmigrant is sought. This amendment would require employers to follow extensive hiring and recruitment procedures even in areas where there labor shortages as determined by the Secretary of Labor.

This training and scholarship fund would go up to over $200 million per year even if the H-1B cap were only raised to 115,000, as currently proposed. o Scholarship and training fees U.S. companies now pay for each H-1B professional hired are approaching $2 billion since 1999. o These fees have funded more than 40,000 scholarships for U.S. students in math and science through the National Science Foundation, hands-on science programs for 80,000 middle and high school students and 3,700 teachers, and training for more than 55,000 U.S. workers and professionals. o U.S. businesses pay over $91 billion a year in state and local taxes directed toward public education. o Increased H-1B fees are nothing more than a tax on innovation that will end up driving U.S. jobs overseas by making it more difficult to hire the highly educated talent America needs. � American professionals in "computer and mathematical" occupations are at virtual full employment, with a low annual unemployment rate of 2.4 percent in 2006. Cutting off the supply of H-1B talent will only hurt American competitiveness. � The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects growth of 100,000 jobs a year in computer and math science occupations between 2004 and 2014, the highest of all white collar professional categories. Note Re: Possible Amendments:
Cantwell Amendment (#1249) One amendment that has been �filed,� but is not currently �pending� is the Cantwell amendment which is very important to business immigration interests. We do not know at this time what will happen with this amendment � whether it will come to the floor for debate or be negotiated through unanimous consent into the final package. Nevertheless,
it is important to let senators know that this amendment is strongly supported by businesses. The Cantwell amendment would set up a parallel and complementary employer-sponsored merit-based program. This �employer-sponsored� stream would let companies determine the skill sets that they need and would like to sponsor for a green card and this employer-sponsored merit based system would provide 140,000 visas separate and in addition to those currently in the bill. This amendment would protect U.S. workers by applying labor market tests to employer sponsorship of foreign workers. In addition to dealing with employment-based green cards, this amendment also addresses some of the �grand bargain�s� changes to the H-1B program by striking the presumption of �immigrant intent� and restoring the �degree equivalency� provision. Furthermore, the amendment, while maintaining the provisions to strengthen H-1B enforcement in the bill, would eliminate overregulation of legitimate H-1B employers by striking provisions that would require every employer comply with burdensome rules that currently apply only to �willful violators� and to employers with excessive numbers of H-1B employees.
Durbin-Grassley Amendment (#1231) There will also possibly be a vote on a Durbin-Grassley amendment. The amendment would strike provisions in the bill that allow the Secretary of Labor to determine whether or not there is a shortage of U.S. workers in the occupation and area of intended employment for which a Y nonimmigrant is sought. This amendment would require employers to follow extensive hiring and recruitment procedures even in areas where there labor shortages as determined by the Secretary of Labor.

o.k..I read some of your old posts (but not thorougly) and I was confused (I guess you have done lot of research) - so can you explain again ?
in yr opinion - does it mean EB3(I) won't go back to april 2001 ?
I guess by "what happened in 2002 - 2004" - you mean lawyers filed most cases in EB3 ..am I right ?
would appreciate yr reply ..Thanks !!
I am not saying it will not go back to APR 2001. USCIS can and will do anything. Bottomline is that adverse effect of APR 2001 is practically over except some residual ones ( residual cases also could be in hundreds). So now if uSCIS is taking any category back to APR 2001 it will merely be a game to keep particular catgeory stopped for a while. USCIS need one case to do that and it will surely have at least one case.

Everyone, there seems to be some confusion about IV's strategy.
We recognize that there are some harmful provisions in these bills, but there are also a lot of good provisions.
We have the logic and numbers on our side, so our strategy is to present the facts and ask for the bad provisions to be removed, but we will still support the bills.
