    This reports also mentions this on Page 48

    Absent legislation to address the visa availability bottleneck
    for India EB-3s, for example, decades may pass between
    the dates when petitioning employers tested the U.S. labor
    market and when visa numbers become available. With an
    ever-changing economy, the market test performed many
    years earlier may bear little, if any, relationship to what the
    U.S. labor pool looks like when USCIS finally confers green
    card status on these individuals.

    We can include above in our letter to lawmakers.

    Also noticed on Page 53 of this report there are 506,410 unused EB visas and out of which 180,039 were recaptured. It means if somehow we convinced lawmakers to bring one more special legislation to recapture remaining EB visas approx 326K , then backlog would be removed. I guess IV is working on this

    A special thanks to the person who was pulling the cart with 2 packs of water bottles all along the Rally and distributing water to all the people who were walking in the Rallly. I tried moving that cart and found that it was TOO Heavy and decided to work on some other volunteering effort. But you did it. Thanks!


    I was that guy; yes it was heavy :o

    $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD EVENING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

    Deadline = April 30th, 2011
    Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
    Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
    2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
    3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")

    This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.

    As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.

    Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
    Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative

    As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.

    The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    What can you do to participate?
    1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.

    http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html

    Then please send an email to ivcoordinator@gmail.com (starsun) with subject - "I485 filing without current PD - Impacted Member". Include your a) IV username b) Email address c) Phone #, d) State of Residence e) Priority Date - so that grassroot efforts can be coordinated

    2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.

    I485 Filing Initiative Flier (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/images/a/a8/Flier_I485_latest2.pdf)

    3) Volunteers have created a facebook community and an Immigration Voice WIKI page to spread the message about this initiative. Please circulate these links among your friends/co-workers who will be helped.

    Please "Share" and "Link" and "send to friend" the facebook community via your Facebook account. Also include these two links when you post on the IV forum.

Majority of approvals thus far are Feb/Jan 06 , when oct/nov guys are still looking forward..Please, dont get me wrong....Systematic approvals helps everyone...as you know the celebration time has come

    SR/infopass is such a routine a thing ...they have standard reply to mail out. It definitely is frustrating to sit on the edge and keep waiting....

    Everywhere I am seeing few EB-3 india folks showing concern about the grim outlook for EB-3 india due to retrogression, noone else care about this.

    It looks like many EB-3 RoW folks are relying on the VISA spillover to them and becoming "c" very soon....I dont see any reactions at all from those members either on or IV forums.

    Writing to US senators and Congress Reps is the way to get some relief for EB-3 india. Each one of us should write our own story and present this USCIS pending inventory to them and educate them on how long it will take for us to receive LPR status without any releif from US congress.

    VISA recapture will be easier to pass in US congress and IV should start campaign for VISA recapture. IV will receive lots of funding if they initiate this campaign as many EB-3 india folks are willing to donate for this cause.

    Hi Raju,

    You hit the nail on its head. The Eb3I participation is very very less. Look at EB2 specific threads. There are 25000 views. EB3I specific threads is a mere 2000. In fact EB3I is supposed to be a biggger group.

    Here are my theories:
    - EB3I guys lost hope in IV and stopped visiting IV
    - EB3I guys work in low level jobs without access to Internet even in office or home (certainly cannot be the case)
    - EB3I does not know about IV at all for the past 4 years (hmmm...)
    - EB3I just bury their heads in sand looking for a miracle

    This is a bigger problem than the EB3I backlog problem.

    I know many guys in this forum who are regular contributers are missing here. What really is going on?

    An attorney I know told me today that:
    (1) they believe EB2/3 mid-month retrogression is unlikely in July based on coversations with relevant folks in govt.
    (2) USCIS is unlikely to want a spirited fight from AILA by retrogressing mid month, especially given the fight that's already on about June EB-3 unskilled
    (3) The June EB-3 unskilled mid-month should be viewed in the context of the just 5000 visas that were left.

    I am not going to qualify the attorney by firm name or with adjective phrases such as "very high profile." Nor am I going to quote the attorney in multiple colors. Posting it here for what it's worth (even though I realize this would sound totally bogus if I were to start this post with "a bird told me that...") None of the above is secret knowledge; apparently other AILA attorneys are also up to speed on these points.

    In any case, however relaxed attorneys might be, we should probably work on trying to hit that ever-moving target of "as soon as possible," if we want to see the smile that an EAD card will bring to dear spouse's eyes.

    Gurus,

    I have a slightly complicated situation. All your suggestions are welcome.

    I am on H1B with 485 filed. My wife is on H4, without 485 filed. My H1B and her H4 expires around end of March. She has an approved 797 (she will either need to apply COS or go out and enter on H1B visa) and her employer will begin her H1B proceedings hopefully before end of January.

    I am thinking of applying for my H1 extension next week, without applying for her H4 extension at this time. If, in the next few weeks her H1B COS is not filed, I am planning to then file her H4 renewal.

    Do you see any problems with this approach? Do you have a better idea?

    thanks for all your help!!

    Please arrange to send your front page post of this thread to all 8400 members again. I am sure most of the member will respond. Some members may not see this webside more often as we do. For me this a defaulted web site now a days. But may not be for everybody!

    kvranand

    I got the email today. It is too long. Come to the point quickly.

    I don't see any problem in sending such email frequently to persons who have paid less then $200. I get a lot of shameless spams. This is a good cause for the recipient.

    on IV tracker
    http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_tracker&Itemid=63

    IV members are requested to update their profile with valid dates so that we can make IV tracker helpful for everyone.

    I have personally decided to make this request to everyone who does not have their details completed and only then respond to the member. If a member has bogus data in their profile for tracking purposes I would not be replying to that post. This might help encourage members wanting replies from IV core team for their questions.

    Thanks, and i have. But there seems to be bugs in the tracker. For eg the filtering doesn seem to work and the page looks broken :confused: Would it be possible that these are fixed soon ? Great idea by the way.

    I actually agree with logiclife. Your worth = how you perform. I have a Ph.D. and I am a post-doc in a lab, but my salary depends on how I perform. If someone with 6 months of NIIT can do what the job needs great. But, and this is a big but, whether you like it or not, US immigration policy is going to favor those who got degrees from the US . So Ron Hiras will have their way, and something will be worked out for those with US degrees. IEEE has tons of "well-respected" studies which prove that graduate studies improve the person's worth for an organization. Brb2 is also perfectly correct in that they fit in better in the US work culture, and hence have what the US industry needs. It is also true that if the need arises, those with US degrees can find employment with non-consulting firms; most non-US educated people however need these desi consultants.

    It is false. US employers need good skilled workers. The only way they used to get people in earlier days was through students who come and graduate. But after the body shopping infracture was built, they started getting people through body shops.

    Body shops are like feeder agents that feed foreign skilled workers in the system.

    As per super specialization in US degrees, and Phds etc...It is true that some jobs need these skills and these kind of jobs are always available to people with those skills.

    But most IT jobs at an entry level or a junior or a mid level programmer does not require that you have a US degree or a Masters or a Phd, and these are the kind of jobs that get filled by H1bs without US Master's.

    In fact if a job requires a Phd and if they did not find a qualified US worker for that job, the job will be open for a PhD as long as the degree from a foreign univ gets evaluated and candidate is good.

    In the days where there was no body shopping infrastructure was not there, businesses were forced to take MS grads from US univs just because they were accessible and tghere was no concept of outsourcing.

    But these days, every company is having a outsourcing or offshoring model so these jobs that can be outsourced will always be outsourced. If the outsourcable jobs are to be kept in US, then skills must be insourced.

    So, if you think US educated or MS people have more advantage - you are just fooling yourself.

    The issue here is the distribution of visas and quota restrictions and not US educated or non US educated.

    I came across this article. Note how hard it will be to define what is a US company in the future.

    Accenture India to surpass US operations in headcount (http://www.rxpgnews.com/business/Accenture-India-to-surpass-US-operations-in-headcount_13509.shtml)

    Thanks akerd, for posting the link about Accenture-India head count surpassing Accenture-US head count.

    Now allow me to ask questions from some members of this form who tend to use the phrase "Indian companies" with negative connotation in their every post.

    Do you think Accenture to be an "Indian Company"?

    chintu ..u must have made a ton load on money on TARG..


    >what would be a minimum investment ..100$ or 10k..

    Its not true Chintu might have made tons of money on TARG.

    This is called Gap up. Entry point for this day trade would have been at 2.4 and it went upto 2.5. Its a cent more from the entry point.

    When market opens it shows 2.4 and you can buy at 2.4 and not at the previous closing price at 1.12.

    Hope you got it...

    Seeing all the stock quotes from what is being recommended.

    ZGEN ---> Open 4.6 close 3.91 --> Loss
    IOC ---> Open 19.5 close 20.5 ---> Profit
    BLX ---> Open 10 close 10.6 ---> Profit
    ELN ---> Open 8.5 close 7.8 ---> Loss
    CTDC ---> Open 3.05 close 2.91 ---> Loss
    LIZ ---> Open 3.25 close 2.75 ---> Loss
    MNKD ---> Open 3.62 close 3.76 ---> Profit
    FSIN ---> Open 5.5 close 5.04 ---> Loss
    TMS ---> Open 1.93 close 1.86 ---> Loss
    BPHX ---> Open 2.25 close 2.16 ---> Loss
    ATML ---> Open 3.10 Close 3.20 ---> Profit
    YRCW ---> Open 4.12 Close 4.08 ---> Loss
    SNTS ---> Open 1.69 Close 1.67 ---> Loss
    GSAT ---> Open 0.47 Close 0.4 ---> Loss
    RAD ---> Open 0.35 Close 0.37 ---> Profit
    AVII ---> Open 0.95 Close 0.97 ---> Profit
    FORSY ---> Open 2.04 Close 1.80 ---> Loss

    And if you considered putting your money on all these stocks and calculate the Profit / Loss percentage, it would be anybody's guess how much would have been lost in a single day assuming you have have put in equal amount of money in each of these stocks yesterday.

    I'm not against trading , Just wanted to show my constructive criticism.
