Since Senate already passed the CIR, that included the SKIL, Is it required to vote again in senate if the house somehow passes the SKIL bill?
Too early but just curious.
Thanks.
The SKIL bill was introduced in the Senate in May by Senator John
Cornyn (R-
TX) and was subsequently incorporated into the Comprehensive
Immigration Act
of 2006. We discussed its effects on the H-1B and EB categories in the
June
2006 issue of SHUSTERMAN'S IMMIGRATION UPDATE. See
http://shusterman.com/toc-siu.html
Although the legalization and guest worker provisions of the Senate
bill
have been written off by many pundits, we believe that there is an
excellent
chance that some version of the SKIL bill will be enacted into law
before the
end of 2006.

Can you send multiple applications in the same package.
Coz. my attorney gave me a tracking number and there are almost 4 names in the reference section of the Fedex Online Tracking System.
As long as they are separated inside with rubber bands and cover sheets, this is OK. This is very typical of how most law firms do it. This is actually covered in tips on how to assemble your packet. You are fine.
Don't worry. Take Relax (something someone I know used to say :) )

I got 2 red dots for speaking my mind above. Here are the comments given by those giving red dots to me:
Do not screw up your GC by posting such comments.. delete them if you will to be safe. Admin
Your comments may screw your GC Chances. .delete them admin
First of all, who is "admin"? Is he the administrator of this forum or just someone disguising as admin?
Secondly, if these comments were true, are USCIS reading our posts and can deny my GC application due to my political beliefs and opinions?
Thirdly, if USCIS IO call "IV Admin" and ask for my IP address, will the "IV admin" give it even without my knowledge and even without court order?
Lastly, I apply for a GC in the US because I know I can freely express my mind and opinion. US is not a communist country. If because of what I said here, US will not grant me a GC, then I will fight for my rights.
The person who posed as admin and gave you reds has been banned

Pappu's post
Other companies/coalitions have stopped pushing for temporary H-1B increase as they do not want to be in the bad books of committee chairmen and the leadership offices by trying to sneak temporary relief that divides the supporters of CIR. Leadership wants support for CIR and want all sides to wait for CIR. And not doing so and trying to get interim relief before CIR would put them in bad books of Senate and House leadership, which no one wants coz if CIR fails, then after CIR, these offices will not co-operate with any group that tried to take away support from CIR. So it would be counter-productive politically to do things that take away good stuff from CIR. Also, if you think that any effort in the final week could help in anyway, then let me to share with you that most provisions and their language are decided much in advance and last minute efforts almost never yield any result on the Hill."
I don't want to oppose IV, but think it this way.. If Microsoft and many big companies asking an increase in H1-B for so many years did not get anything done since 2005, then what are our chances of our voice even reaching them.
Everyone were so desparatly waiting for the I-485 relief before 15th feb.
Now that we know that the provisions and their language are decided much in advance, can we know if senate is really going to introduce CIR next month and are inclined towards passing it.
After reading the complete post, I have come to conclusion that we cannot
hope confidently that anything can pass this year or in the comming years.

(Immigration Voice > I-485, EAD/AP application, renewal and related > Self-filing, documents, forms, directions, mailing. > Horrible Air India).
Why you expect that others MUST BE PERFECT when you are not? :p

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.

There is no suprise on it. There may be 3 reasons for that
1. It is deviating from grand bargain. Some republicans accepted CIR based on the condition that point system needs to be introduced. Cantwell amendment invalidates that in high skilled category
2. Anything unlimited is tough to convince Senators as immigration concept is based on shortage of workers. Cantwell amendment has many exemptions for H1b and GC
3. This has provisions which will make Durbin bill almost ineffective
If some compromise is suggested in those three points then there is some possiblity. Otherwise it is going to be tough
The word on the street is that the Cantwell amendment is not a part of the list of amendments that are currently floating around in Senate offices. There are 20 of them.
Even Bernie Sanders has one more coming (Yes, it is related to H1B). But Cantwell amendment is not there in the list of 20.
Here is the list of 20 amendments floating around in the Senate:
Democratic Amendments
1199 Dodd ---- Family parent visas
1313 Webb ---- Community ties for Zs
1236 Baucus-Tester ---- Strike all reference to REAL ID
1332 Sanders ---- Employers to certify no mass layoff
1344 Byrd ---- Border security immigration fee
1317 Menendez ---- Increased family points in merit system
1340 Brown ---- Employers post job at state agency
1468 McCaskill ---- Repeat violators who hire undocumented workers
1486 Levin ---- Iraqi religious minority refugees
1386 Leahy ---- Refugee Scholars (may instead be 1289 on EB-5 investors)
____ Schumer ---- Tamper-proof biometric social security card (no language yet)
1198 Boxer ---- Reducing Y visa cap by number of Y workers who overstay
Republican Amendments
1161 Alexander ---- Oath of allegiance for naturalization (may move to manager�s package)
1255 Bond ---- Prohibits green cards for Z holders
1473 Coleman ---- information sharing/sanctuary cities (Coleman is redrafting, new language not available)
1335/1258 Domenici ---- Federal judgeship increase (redrafting)
1490 Ensign ---- Preclusion of social security benefits
1465 Graham ---- Enforcement, plus other potential agreed upon amendments folded in (redrafting, content not clear)
1441 Grassley-Baucus Obama ---- Strike and replace Title III (small changes possible)
1440 Hutchison ---- Touchback/strike and replace title vi (redrafting)
1174 Thune ---- Probationary legal status triggers
1318 Chambliss ---- Totalization agreement
1282 Isakson ---- Preemption/Home Depot (redrafting)
------ Graham Criminal penalties/mandatory minimums for overstays

bestia,
My point is enjoy your dinner, yes you can't worry about every hungry man but don't tell the hungry to enjoy the hunger! If we can't help them let's not rub it in their face. That's all I am saying. Anyway, my comment wasn't meant for you. You have shown understanding. I did see a few ppl earlier who literally asked ppl to "shut up and enjoy the ride". That really pi*** me off.
Come on, man. We are paying too much attention here. Look, there is always somebody stuck somewhere. People are stuck in BEC, in other contries. People are stuck in Afganistan, Bangalore, there are hungry people stuck in Africa. So? If there are hungry people, then I can't enjoy my dinner then? Someone always has to come and say "you enjoy and there are people stuck somewhere"? What's your reaction would be if someone come on your wedding and start complaining that he is impotent? - these are a little extreme examples, just to make a point.
Bigtime008,
Its really your judgement call if you believe whether IV is an organization that is helping BEC victims. I think the focus of this organization is retrogression relief. Nothing wrong or right about it.
IV core keeps telling us, BEC is always on their agenda. Really? If they did not even understand our pain and consider our frustration a disruption to people's happiness, how can we expect them to help? I still think IV is a great org, as it's the first such organization to speak out for legal immigrants. But when it comes to BEC victims, I did not see IV changed anything, or intend to change anything.

I talked to many representatives regarding my I 140 filing from yesterday.
This is what all msot all of them said.
Nebraska center is running behind with their schedule in generating their receipt numbers.
First all the applications go to the mail room. If everything looks fine with the application, the mail room people would send the cheques to be enchased. This normally takes like a day or 2. Then they send the applications to a different department where the clerk needs to put the information in the system and generate the reciept and mail it out. All this process should normally take, 5 to 7 days and Nebraska Center has a turn around time of 15 days.
But Nebraska center is backlogged a bit due to the numerous applications they recieved, till last week for I 140's. And a decision was made yesterday that, the Nebraska Center would catch up generating all the receipts by August 1st. (Thats what the reps told me). So everyone's receipt number who filed their I 140 by July 16th should be available in the system by August 1st(we wud complete the 15 days turn around time too). And if they get mailed out by then, we may recieve in a week or so, by Aug 10th.
So everyone will be good to go. Even if you dont get the receipt, your checks would be enchashed by then which will have a receipt number and you can call the USCIS office to confirm that receipt number (as they will have it in their system by August 1st) and just file by putting the copies of those checks.
Its not our problem that they delay the receipts.
But I hope that everyone will get their receipts by August 10th. So just chill out and relax.

The intent about letting foreigners come to work in US is to fill the gap between the demand and the local availability of skills. It is not about rewarding the foreigners academic skills.
If you want to work here, then get skills in a field where there is a shortage here and you will not have problems with H1 sponsorship.
When you did your Masters degree in US, you should have been more smart in selecting your area of study.
Why should US allow foreigners to work against its citizens when there is no shortage of skill.
Your frustation is understandable from your perspective but definitely not from a US citizens perspective.
This is definitely a wrong advice. People pursue their passion and do their Masters in a field they like. People do not look around which field is giving a Green card. US is not dictating the job market in this global economy.

Hi Needhelp,
Why don't we do signature collection instead of collecting same letter templates from all people? Do we need to waste this much of paper?
Go Green !
Sorry if i hurt IV member feelings.
Kris
Technical difficulties to implement what you said. Just post on this thread, I will count for you.
It is very important to send a copy to IV, it will be used in making a case during talks with White House and DHS. Please see address in first post of this thread.
I have a dream: IV team carrying at least 10 big boxes full of letters to show during the meeting.
