I think it is important to maintain diversity in the overall immigration. However the immigration law has never resulted in achieving diversity. In the period 1900-1910, immigrants came from Italy (22%), Austria (20%) and Russia (18%). In the 1950-1960 period Germany provided 20% of immigrants. In the 1991-2000 period Mexico provided almost 22% of immigrants. In the FY 2005, Mexico provided around 161,000 immigrants (around 17%) of immigrants. It is easy to fix a quota for those immigration categories where visa numbers are limited such as for employment. However spouses and minor children of naturalized citizens have no waiting period. So it will be very hard to control the immigration percentages based on country of origin unless there is a quota for US citizen spouses, and children of US citizens wantin to immigrate!
The problem here is that we don't have a country quota for foreign students and H1Bs. Thus when these people try to become permanent residents then the quota's are applied and that is the core problem. My take is that country quota should not be applied for employment based immigration. Employers should not be forced in to an affirmative action plan but rather hire the right person for the job.

I just called and got a similiar very supportive response from the staff. She mentioned that she is getting a lot of phone calls about the 3 bills and will let him know about it. Go IV Go :)
I just called and spoke to a staff member at Lamar Smith's office. Apparently a lot of calls are being made :D. She knew why I was calling before I could tell her. I was told that the Rep. has not made a public stand on these bills yet. I told her that I would like the Representative to support these bills if and when they come to the floor.
Keep calling, guys!.

Hello All,
I am on H1 Visa and I am planning to go for further studies and converting my H1 to F1.
Now after completing my studies, can I use same H1 petition from Old Quota or I have to apply again in Fresh H1 Quota.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Thanks and Regards,

Based on Visa Bulletin report, it seems like massive retrogression is likely for EB3 as well as EB2 :( for the rest of the year. Many have ported and some hibernating applications are now active. :(

It's slow poison.. Great deception. You can't get it and You can't let it go. After waiting so long (7+ years in GC road) I got nirvana. One early morning I think over back and relies what the hell I did with my life and career for this stupid card. So I put my energy in study. Hoping to complete MBA by summer and move forward. Waited so long so i don't have any more patience or emotion left. I have to move on with life.. :p
Have a cup of coffe, it is sprint break time, I am taking my daughter out....also I am going to meet some friends over this weekend.
This EB-2, EB-3, ROW, India, China..... only hurts me when I think about it! As long as I am busy with my day to day life.....life is beautiful.
Going to make a cup of coffee and watch my fav song on YouTube! Cheers...

so far....they rushed my application last year in July 2007 so I didn't miss the bus. I guess it depends who you are working with. I worked with Maria V. who was good.
yeah but their invoice department needs training. They keep on sending me invoices and then recanting it.

Hi, I have a question about PERM labor process. How soon can an employer apply PERM labor certification after hiring an employee?
Anytime, no restriction whatsoever but sometime is need to advertise and do other paper work formality.

Under the Fees section, it stated that if you filed your I485 on or after July 2007, and you paid the I485 fees, then no fees is required. Does that mean that I don't have to pay for the $305 for my advanced parole?
My I485 was received sept 2007, and I paid for the I485 fees, offcourse. This is something that I'm not too sure.
The filers who ever filed in July 2007 to August 15 2007 need to pay Advance parole money also.

Hi Gurus,
Right now I am working for Company A and VISA with company A is valid till September 30 2007. Company B applied for Regular H1-B transfer (Receipt Date May 12) and it is still under process. I will be joining Company B on 1st October 2007.
Now due to some emergency I am traveling to India on 11August, 2007 and will come back on 11 Th September 2007. Also I can’t go for VISA stamping in India for Company B as I have not got my H1 Approval yet.
Given the above scenario, will I have any problem at the port of entry as my H1b transfer from company B has not been approved yet?
What all documents I have to carry to reenter safely?
Thanks in advance,
Ashok
I'm not sure if its ok to travel when an application is pending, check with some experts... but if I were you I would Convert it to PP and get the approval before travel and get stamping done... Thats the best option.

he has said something similar before during the debates but there is no clear plan from any of the candidates. given the heat this issue is generating (and lack of publics understanding); i doubt any of the candidate will be vocal about it.

What happens if I get my EAD after 180 days of concurrent filing i-140 & i-485, and my employer no longer has a vacancy for me. Can I start at another job or do I have to refile the i-140. (I'm not presently working for the company yet)

Actually, it was published in every major paper in the US, as well as in India, China, Canada, and a number of other countries. It was this broad coverage that led to the New York Times editorial. I have also seen mention of it on several news TV channels. And more is to come. The LA Times will be doing a story very soon.
What end result you think would be?

So far there have been around 100k approvals in EB3 category out of about 170k (unused family visas made available to emploment based category) approvals in employment based category. Out of that EB2 approvals are around 50k only. Now the scenario would be like 100k approvals in EB2 and out of that 50k would be exclusively for EB2 India, leaving very little share to china. Now you could presume how fast EB2 runs.

Just called. She first said that she will put me on as a supporter. But since I am not from his district, they are collecting all those names in a separate pool.
So looks like people from his district calling is more important and carries more weight.

We have to come up with a request letter addressing to DHS secretary and I am pretty sure It can be done as part of admin fix.
It will bring lot of relief for most of the people whose PD's are after May/June 2007..
I know that its already on IV agenda, but looking at the complexity involved for H1 extensions/transfers/layoffs (especially these days) we cannot wait any longer. I would suggest keeping this particular request separate and especially people who have PD's after May/June 2007 should participate actively.
we can come up with a draft letter addressing to DHS secretary and list out clearly how this would bring a great relief for us.
PAPPU/MIRAGE/VDLRAO other senior member please provide your suggestions. Please help us join in the main stream (wait after applying for AOS :)
Thanks a lot.

This is different from what was done in July 2007. Back then all PD was current. This is to grant the ability to file AOS even when the PD is NOT current
