What a rationale you are using. So then "kids should not suffer" and then the answer is yes, go ahead and reward those who broke laws with an amnesty.Hey, I don't know if you have kids, just imagine you have 16 old kid, you are on H1 waiting for labor certification and visa number to be available. While waiting continues your kid turns 21. Are you ready to send him home?

Hi friends,
Can we start working for the new company immediately once the transfer petition is mailed i.e. without waiting for the EAC number ?

I agree, STAY UNITED.
Stay united and fight. We already have few groups like the "Surya" guy, cannot remember his correct id, who fought so that EB3 cannot ever move to EB2. Fortunately I have not seen such issue from EB3 group. There have been occasional venting out out of frustration, but nothing organized to create problems for other groups. Rules are rules and nothing is wrong if the rules are rightly followed.
If the originator of this thread is from Bangladesh, he need not worry. ROW should move faster comparatively, even in EB3.

Actually, Paul can answer only in binary. So, we must frame the question accordingly:) ( Pick one box or the other )
we should ask him when EB3 India will get current? He will stop eating after that. :)

Many people that have contributed earlier feel that by prioritizing the 485 filing over increase of EB visas, IV has gone away from atleast some of stakeholders .The stakeholders were promised initially that increase of EB visas would be a top priority or atleast on a even keel with any other objectives, but now we are in phased approach.I have talked to lot of people and the feeling is same.
Suppose IV decides not to focus on I-485 filing but some other issue. By this analogy, all members with interest in I-485 will leave.

That's just it; isn't it. I'm here legally paying taxes, immigration and all that other good stuff. This last year many illegals who filed 2006 taxes and were awaiting refunds did not get the refunds due to their immigration status! Many things are on the change and when 4 of you are on TIN#'s it is easy to get pulled. What they audited us for was stupid totally illogical! Prove we were married, that the kids lived with us and we lived together in same house. That was it. Why would you file jointly if you did not live together in the first place. IRS office confirmed, then 2nd one re-confirmed it was flagged by INS and it wasn't even hidden well. So, that was August and we filed 07/05 the audit was for 2005 returns. They have all paperwork, but haven't heard anything back yet. That is a good thing too. I crammed every bit of evidence I could into that sealed file before sending it off. The officer who confirmed receipt of it was laughing harder with each turn of the 50 odd documents of proof that I had sent. She said I don't think we can deny that you live together and the kids live with you!!! Please don't worry about it. You should receive a letter in about 30 to 40 days with the outcome.
That is it and I shall wait for the letter to arrive signing it off.
Cheers,
LRIndy.
Working in the accounting/financial industry, I have to deal with the IRS time to time. From my experience, I can tell you that IRS care about their customers and if you say something, they will actually listen to you. Their customer service is actually pretty helpful.
After all you have provided them, if they still cause you more trouble, hire a local CPA and the CPA will work with you to resolve any issues with the IRS. CPAs are usually less expensive than lawyers.
Hearing your case, it sounds to me that your's was just a random case. I don't think they will bother you anymore. Good luck.

By no means we shall find ourselves supporting what is against public opinion in our host country, which is now America. .....The lack of sympathy for immigration is in the air.
Dear 'TheOmbundsman' ,
Majority of Americans are not aware of the plight of Legal High tech workers who contribute to the economy and success of US and are struggling to get the GC.
The people unwittingly club everybody with 'Illegal Immigrants'
I agree with you that there is anti-immigrant feeling among people.
We need to create awareness among those who matter most.
Thats how we stand any chance.
I think this thread can be closed now as it is going in totally wrong direction.

Please post any link where it says it is stricter or any new stuff USCIS wants to implement
Chandu, here I found the LINK (http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html)
"When explaining the risk of potentially stricter AC21 regulations to I-485 applicants, we are frequently asked, "If I change jobs under AC21 and the regulations are released after that, they won't apply to me, right?" Unfortunately, this is not correct. While it is not possible to predict the content or effective date of any future regulations, they will likely apply at the time of adjudicating the I-485 application, and not just when the job change occurs. In a hypothetical example, if new regulations were to limit the percentage of acceptable salary difference, or prevent multiple portings, the officer adjudicating the I-485 could decide that the job change violates the regulations, even if the change occurred months or years before the new regulations were issued."

Probably a dumb question which was answered before in some other thread.. but just so that I understand better:
Am I correct, or totally off base to say: There are no clear cut legislative guidelines regarding how cascaded visas or recaptured visas are to be used especially w.r.t country limits. USCIS has the discretion in how these visas are to be handed out..
If so, how has USCIS handed out these visas historically?
It's a bit more complicated than that:
Law comes from three sources:
Comman Law: Laws inherited from the british justice system (evolved over centuries).
Legislative Law: Laws passed by congress and signed by the Prez.
Regulatory Law: Regulations created by the regulatory agencies to implement the laws made by congress. Congres doesn't always finalize all the details to the last comma and leaves that work the relevant government agency. For example, FCC, SEC create regulations about how the congress' laws are to implemented. These regulations have to conform the laws passed by congress. These regulations have the force of law.
So when congress did not stipulate any specific overflow mechanism, it left it completely up to USCIS to work that out.
Historically EB2-RoW overflowed to EB2-India and EB3-Row overflowed to EB3-India. Soon after EB3-RoW was retrogressed, USCIS channelled EB2-RoW to EB3-RoW. This is expected to continue till EB3-RoW becomes current itself.
Therefore, if you're looking for any progress in PD, whether EB2 or EB3, the key parameter you should be watching is EB3-RoW cut-off. Only when this becomes current, others can even _think_ of nirvana. Without overflow of RoW's, both EB2-India and EB3-India cannot progress more than a day in every bulletin (at a average). EB3-Row moved a month and a half in Jan bulletin, which counts as a progress, however small, for everyone. That holds true -though not easy to intuit- for EB2-India as well!

You are right and I don't know the circumstances vicks_don had chosen to post this. As I posted elsewhere (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=43868&postcount=662), now the time is ripe to act decisively.

A small step for special interests ... a gaint leap for us
I had watched this forum growing by leaps and bounds over the past year. I personally know how the core group is acting towards our stated goals. Now an opportunity has come for us, the foot soldiers to act in unison. As the title of this post suggests, we will watch, observe how big brother is acting and will emulate the same.
In this connection, I beseech (implore, beg, request, ask, entreat, plead, press, demand) to watch out the efforts to introduce / incorporate retrogression relief for healthcare in the coming days / weeks. Read the block quote in full and you will understand what I am saying.

The government's current Continuing Resolution continues federal funding until February 15, 2007. At that time, another funding bill must be passed. Similarly there is an Iraq War funding bill set to be acted on this Spring. Legislators have traditionally allowed urgent legislation to be attached to funding bills like these.
We have made inroads with many of these members' staffs. A personal relationship with one of the Senators would likely be enough to secure a Schedule A retrogression amendment as an attachment to one of these two bills.
The current strategy is to obtain a small Schedule A retrogression amendment (anywhere from 15,000 - 90,000 visas) in the Spring; we will then push for a permanent Schedule A retrogression amendment (Brownback amendment) whenever Congress considers Comprehensive Immigration Reform. Our contacts tell us that Congressional leadership is willing to allow the Brownback amendment as part of CIR.
But for now we have this small opportunity to secure 15,000 - 90,000 visas. Please contact Chris if you have any personal relationship with these Senators or even their most senior staff.

Let's watch out what is being worked out for and introduced for healthcare folks. We will forcefully demand the same kind of relief. We will question why such a special consideration. We will write to lawmakers, our employers, particularly the big and kind corporations, we will write letters to editors. Let's mount one more coordinated effort on this front. As always, let us act smartly and intelligently. The moment has come and it is now.
Please feel free to discuss this post, suggest ways and means, and we will crystallize our effort on this front. We can do it and we will do it.
PS: One suggestion is subscribe to Google Alerts for �healthcare� and �retrogression� and be kept informed.
Another is to write / call members of congress and pose a direct question / their position on retrogression relief to skilled workers stuck in retrogression.

I have been on H1B for 3000 days so far and I am still waiting for GC, (filed for 140/485 in November) and I thought I have been waiting for too long, but it looks like one of these people might actually qualify for Guinness Book.
