In this debate, it is important to consider what "America" really means:
It is not just tech. companies or the USCIS - it is every big, small and mid-size enterprise, school, hospital, university, firestation, state/federal govt etc. It is the local community in which we live, the neighbors we interact with, the folks at the check out counters, our children's daycare, and ofcourse it is our fellow American co-workers, supervisors and friends.
In the final cost & benefit analysis, I am just curious to understand how America stands to gain by preventing the free movement of high skilled labor and intellect across the country. How does it benefit by preventing individuals from getting a higher education or a promotion. It is already too late for most of us to give up at this stage of the process, so most of us will wait it out, and eventually get the green card. If it is going to be 5 yrs. from now, then why not now?
Perhaps the questions should be:
"What is America gaining by keeping high skilled individuals in this state of perpetual limbo"?
And
"What is the cost to America of giving out a Green Card to a high skilled immigrant whose petition to immigrate has been approved by the US govt.?"

Just to summarize what's going to happen with VB in final Quarter.
Two words: Nothing Positive
CIS and DOS officials are meeting every week after July 07 fiasco. They have a better handle on the visa number utilization than they ever had in the past years. As a result they have max utilization of visa numbers and don't be surprised if DOS decides to move EB2 India and China a month or two back. Neither India EB2 nor China EB2 is going to move past Oct 2004 before Oct 08 bulletin.
That is true and IV core member Nixtor had given details about this visa movement more than a month ago in the all state chapter conference call. This call was strictly for state chapter members of all states. IV core has been meeting DOS and USCIS regularly to find solution to the problems our members have been facing.
Pls take part in the call campaign and contribute funds to be able to find relief.

All the info here is great !!
Pardon my ingnorance, but if I wanted to start a small time business where I do website development and designing either myself or by a company outside US, do I need to file as an LLC or can I register as a small business. Can someone tell me where I might get details for registering a company (Or is that same as LLC).
I was thinking I will not get EAD earlier than 6 months and I got it in less than 6 weeks....so now am doing some basic ground work and would appreciate any guidance !!
Thanks in advance.
Congrats on getting your GC (EAD)

Looks like 10 years experience is required for individuals applying under "Exceptional Ability".
Thanks Kate. Hopefully everything should be ok; I freaked out for a while. Let's see how things go.

Not sure if something is cooking at USCIS, last week an USCIS office called my attroney to get clarification on why we (my wife and I) are residing at separate addresses. We are in the process of relocation (company moved), my wife chose to continue her employment while she's searching for opportunities in the new location. The officer stated that they are trying to adjudicate the cases ASAP, hence he's inquiring to ensure there isnt any marriage fraud. My attorney responsed back will all the possible evidence to proved we are together.
Has anyone had a similar experience.
My PD: Aug 2004
Cat: EB3 India.
A soft LUD today 03/04 on my/wife's I-485 application.
I see lot of cases of EB2-I with PDs of 2005/06 and EB3- I with PDs 2003/04 have recentely received LUDs/RFEs.
Let's wait what next visa bulletin says !
Any one else with recent LUDs on their I-485s ?

Thanks for the quick reply. So in my case since my husband doesn't have a RD yet for our I-485 then once we do get our RD, we can calculate that 2 yrs from that time we'll have our card ordered as well. :D :D :D I'm crossing my fingers!

...I do have a point and that is not to let someone throw in unsubstantiated statistics to bring bad name to some Indian universities....
How come observations made over years on 100's to 1000's of students are "unsubstantiated"? Of course you may want not to believe me; that is your prerogative, and so is writing my own experience mine.

I have a feeling it will have some pro-immigrant stuff too....the next 10 days are going to be very interesting
Text of Bill Frist's statement below
March 16th, 2006 - WASHINGTON, D.C. � U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, M.D. (R-TN) today announced his intention to introduce a border security bill before the recess to ensure the Senate has a border security bill ready for debate during the week of March 27:
�Our country needs security at our borders in order to slow the flow of illegal immigration and make America safer from foreign criminals and terrorists. That�s why today I will introduce a border security bill, to guarantee the Senate will have legislation available for consideration the week of March 27.
�This bill will be based on the consensus enforcement, visa reform and immigration litigation reform titles of Chairman Specter�s mark-up of border security legislation and focus on ensuring strict enforcement of our nation�s immigration laws. I look forward to bringing a border security bill to the floor during the week of March 27 and allowing the full Senate to start work on border security and interior law enforcement, as well as comprehensive immigration reform, so that America is more secure and our constituents are safer. It is my hope that the Judiciary Committee will be able to report a bill we can bring to the floor that meets these objectives. As a country of immigrants who respect the rule of law, I expect us to honor those heritages as this debate unfolds.�

Is there a way to find out if they already sent the receipt and we have not received it? My lawyer says they haven't received any receipt yet but I also think they are keen on applying more then updating us with receipts notice. I understand that. Will any one at USCIS tell us if they sent us the receipt?

HURRAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
My I-485 case got reopened after being in denial status for three months............ My attorney got a letter from USCIS.
::::::::::::::::::To recap::::::::::::::
I went to the Congressional office on 05/14/2009 morning.
Congressional office made a call to Nebraska Service Center regarding the case on the same day afternoon (05/14/2009 afternoon)
USCIS sent letter to my attorney on Friday (05/15/2009).
My attorney received it this morning (05/19/2009).
Looks like magic........Whoever has been working on my case from the past three months made a huge reversal decision in just a few hours on 05/14/2009 afternoon with atmost attention........I like this sudden surge in commitment and care on my case.......
Here is the wording:
Quote""""""""""""""""""""""""

USA is made by illegal immigrants (over 13 millions) and bonded labors (H1B - GC).
Losses suffered by illegal immigrants and H1B-GC people fuels US economy (or at least contributes to that). My contributions so far might have been above half a millions. Indirect beneficiaris are top most companies.
You may get some valuable inputs from http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19766 although I did not fully endorse the thread:
America is not loosing by delaying any process of streamlining any illegal immigrants or H1B-GC process.
sorry for going off topic.. but your title about the pyramids has been proven to be a myth.
New discoveries has shown that the workers building the pyramids were fed and cared for the way we care for olympic athletes these days.. Villages and cities were competing and bragging about how much they contribute in these national projects..
don't believe everything u c on hollywood screens..
