Its only going to take 5 people to break away from the 64. Those 35 "No" votes are the ones who want CIR dead NOW. They are not going to change. But those 64, its only going to take 5 people to walk away.
There are 24 amendments. I think atleast 5 people would see their amendments fail on the floor of the house and probably another 5 atleast who would withdraw support because someone else's amendment passed. This baby is going DOWWWNNN this weekend per my estimate. I could be wrong but again, 24 amendments ? That's too many darts on a fragile compromise.
as far as i know Reid is smart about this thats why hes using the "clay pigeon" manuevre where all the 24 amendments would be tied as one amendment and then voted to pass on, once its passed then the cloture vote will come in (without the individual amdts yet voted on) once the cloture vote is secured then they will have 30 hours to vote all the individual 24 amdts after whc a simple majority vote ( min 51 votes) wud be needed to clear the bill...real smart

I understand that you guys are frustrated but I did not open this thread to make empty noise. I have written to six different organisations and ACLJ only gave me a reply that they would be unable to process our per courntry quota lawsuit. There are thousands of federal court immigration lawyers in the country who would do this lawsuit albeit with more money than these non profit organisations. If any of you guys want to make a difference in your lives and lives of others pls co-ordinate this event of contacting various immigration lawyers.

Read between the lines and this actually confirms what I am saying all along.
Equal Opportunity Law does not apply to Immigrant Visa allocation. And that's why any legal course does not have any solid base.
Equal Employment Opportunity applies only to applicants who are eligible to apply for that job. It does NOT apply to immigrant visa allocation and any other visa benefit such as H-1B approval.
In other words, Equal Employment Opportunity is applicable to US Citizens and residents with work authorization (Green Card holders, EAD holders, person with H-1B approved) and this is limited to job hiring, job promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and other aspects of employment. This does not extend to immigration benefit or opportunity lost due to lack of immigration benefit (such as I-485 approval).

Wow - Mine also went on the same day. No sign of EAD yet. I wish they handle it next week so that I get 2 years :)

what makes you think people participate in those? from personal experience
in the MN chapter, it's hard to even get replies to e mails, forget meetings etc. of late though i'm glad to say the MN chapter has really beugun to pick up again.
ask the tri state guys how much effort they put locally- meetings- fliers- phone calls, all by a handful of volunteers. so all this is good in theory and yes it takes time. but the apathy (even hostility) that was encountered was frightening. ask chanduv23 someday what the tri state guys went through...

Air India service is not good. My wife runs an online travel agency. Last week one of the customer had to fly for his marriage. When he called air india to reconfirm they said there is no booking, even though he paid the whole money a month before.
Another family while returning from COK-BOM-USA after reaching BOM Air India said only father got the tickets while the kidz doesnt have any booking. The important thing here is that the family had travelled together from USA to India on Air India and the father was very upset. They lost one day at airport and the baggage.
Travel agents in USA dont sell Air India tickets normally because they get poor service from Air India.
Only travel agents make 10-20 as margin and at the end customer is going blame the travel agent or to make any changes it is going to take a hell lot of time. ( Usually it is very difficult )
Travel agents sell Air India ticket only if a customer specifically requests that.

Mark, point taken but I do believe if we can raise some stink then we should. The Law firms need to realise that the country club memebership is coming at the cost of some poor sap stuck in the immigration rut and all he/ she needs is kind words and sound advice. I shall stop my ranting about Fragomen after this post.
On your other point about law firms participating. What makes you think they already do not have a member in the forums. If they read this good then the messeage has been sent across.
If approached in the right way there is a chance that big law firms will be helpful to us. The way to do this is politely, not raising a stink, with a credible number of their clients supporting us. The big law firms could act as a "force multiplier" to use a military term, only a small fraction of the community currently know about us, the big law firms and USCIS are the common connection for EB GC process, and USCIS is not about to email all their customers about us. With the right encouragement law firms might just help.
If they have members reading forums great. However, please do be civil.
I do understand the need to vent and rant sometimes. My personal guide is not to post anything that I do not want to be publicly (or legally) held to. Also a balanced constructive post is useful for all. So I place my full name in my signature.

I hope you understand that Bigtime's post was thickly laced with sarcasm.
I admire your courage to stand up and apologise. I wish you all the best, and I hope they lift the ban. You are the type of people we need. Be positive, there is a line for green cards and I didn't know people can jump the line. I need to concurrently file so I can get an EAD. I've been sitting at home for several years as a dependent. And after that I will stand in line with the rest for a green card. All the best and I hope to see you again. Pls don't make this your last posting

"I am in. Now you can shut the freaking door on all those suckers who didn't manage to get in on time..."
No wonder that people start demanding to curb immigration right after getting their green cards.
Its called the policy of "Scorched earth". Then only you can get anything
done your way. Its the H1B that feeds the Corp America's greed. Destroying that is the only way they
will come out in support of the EB reform. Bluntly speaking thats the only practical way.

Fragomen applied for my PERM application last year. The rule is - either advertisement start date or end date should fall in "wage survey duration of 3 months". They didn't follow that. And my PERM got denied. Immediately they applied for my PERM. And it's stuck in Audit. And not to mention, even though it was their mistake, they took fees from employer for filing 2nd PERM.. saying DOL wasn's clear about this rule, and never rejected any application before for this reason.. So its not their mistake!!

I requested (actually begged) my employer and attorney to pursue EB1 as well - they said no - lawyer's response is EB1 is very difficult and you should be someone of nobel prize calibre etc.etc.
...
I went ahead with another private attorney to submit another EB1 I140 separately which is still pending.
I understand your self-petition is in EB1-EA ("extraordinary ability") category, right? If your employer's lawyer had to file EB1 on your behalf, she/he had to do this in either EB1-OR ("outstanding researcher") or EB1-ET ("executive transferee") category, depending on whether you are employed in academics or industry. That may mean more paperwork for the lawyer and/or expense for the employer, which might explain their reluctance in pursuing that option. And in general, a lawyer hired by your employer does not always have your best interest in mind (unless it coincides with the interest of your employer).

Thanks for your inputs. Please also read my previous message. If there is a less non-confronting approach that is equally good in bringing this to the attention any authorigy and resolving it amicably we should be all for it.
- So can IV help us by filing a petition/letter to DOL/UCIS or the other relevant authority towards this cause...basically explaining the plight of the affected people and how they have been affected by DOL not doing FIFO processing of the labor applications in the traditional process.
IV core team, please provide us some guidance and please help us here.
- I do agree if the petition doesn't work out then we can think on the law suit. OR we can explore that option and start getting the details of the process parallely so that we have all the information in hand. But if a petition isn't possible (which I doubt) then we should be able to swiftly act on the lawsuit.
HI RISKER I GOT FEW QUESTIONS. THESE QUESTIONS MAY WELL BE ASKED BY DEFENDATS(DOL) WHEN YOU FILE LAWSUIT.
1. WHY DIDNT YOU UPDATE TO PERM LABOR WHILE RETAINING PRIORITY DT
2. DID YOU CONSIDER RIR AND REGUALR CASES DIFFERENCES WHEN ARE SUEING FOR FIFO
3. DID YOU FIND PEOPLE FROM THE SAME COMPANY WITH DIFFERENT FILING DATES APPOVED NEW AHEAD OF OLD FILING DATE( THIS WOULD GIVE YOU A STRONG REASONING WHEN YOU WANT TO SUE). COMPANYS PROFILE CAN INFLUENCE A LOT ON DECISION MAKING EX.. MICROSOFT VS DESI COMPANY.
4. HOW MANY CASES YOU HAVE STUDIED FOR VIOLATION FIFO. COLLECT DATA FROM BEC APPROVED PEOPLE AND THE PEOPLE STILL STUCK THERE.
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE THE INJUSTICE DONE BY DOL. HEY BUT BEFORE JUMPING THE GUN GET YOUR AMMUNITION READY THEN CONTACT CORE AND THEN SEE FROM THERE.....
GOOD LUCK

Are they asking for $20 money order or a stamped envelope again? I won't be surprised if these people are pocketing the extra money.
She gave the choice to either send $20.00 MO or send an stamped envelope. I am contemplating on sending the $20.00 MO. Because I don't want them to tell me again that I have not sent the envelope, should I send one.

Lets do the best we can. If it does not work, we are no worse than where we already are.
A group of us just went to Lamar Smith's Austin District Office and detailed his liason about the bills, benefits and information about IV. She said she will have them Fedex'd today to their Washington office and keep us informed about congressman's stand.
Thanks for doing that for us, Iskreddy! A visit to his office will definitely help.

Why people in the forum still asking people to convert from EB-3 to EB-2?
This is not the SOLUTION!! It will only make things worser and worse...
If people keep converting their EB-3 to EB-2 then what about those EB-3 filers that file their application in earlier years? they will keep stucking in the line forever! THAT's not FAIR!
It is not the time to blame EB-2 or USCIS! IT is the time to dicuss an effective way to to distribute the visa no. effectively.
DO SOMETHING CONSTRCUCTIVE! NOT ONLY FOR YOURSELF! BUT FOR ALL THE VISA/ GC APPLICANTS!

Suppose I initially worked as an Engineer, and got labor and I-140 approved. Now, say I totally change my field to become a Business Development Manager, can I still port the older PD from the previous I-140 (assuming that a new labor and 140 will need to be filed for the new job) or does the job have to be same or similar for me to port the older PD?
Any inputs? Thanks!
Of course. In fact this type of career change is required if you want to port a PD (EB3->EB2) while using experience gained with the same employer to qualify for the job.

I dont think filing EB2 is that easy. First condition is not that candidate likes to be Eb2 that drives the labor application (I wish that was the case then every one would have asked for EB1) it is the job requirement that should be able to qualify for EB2. (for people working in large corporations this will be the stumbling block) for people in consulting business this is not an issue but in this tight market with A2P and wages could spoil the party along with DOL activism for audit does not mean things will be piece of cake. For EB2 from candidates side he/she needs to have MS preferably in same field as work ( So MS Mechanical working as DBA might face RFE to explain) or the previous work experience might be scrtunized more to validate it satisfies the labor requirements.
All Indians and Chinese will file only EB2 now onwards:D
The problem is with past filings how to convert them to EB2.
