Can we get an opinion from one of the lawyers on this forum? I'm very suspicious that if we do file something we'll have to do it through our employers.
Anybody with an opinion on that?

Yes 27 EB-I approvals seems pretty low. Hopefully DOS would move EB3-I cut off date in May.

Simple and yet we have not acted purposefully. I have a strong feeling that this visa grab is still going on. HLG has sent out another immigration alert to all registered emails, similar to one posted on Feb 9, 2007. . And I quote a bit
FEBRUARY 12, 2007
ADVOCACY ALERT:
RETROGRESSION: WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
.......
Stopping this 'unused visa grab' for only one section of retrogressed and demanding it for all retrogressed is a sure WIN for us, if it happens; if it is stopped, it will make a tectonic shift the focus to the whole gamut of issues of retrogression, backlogs etc and will put more pressure on Congress to act.
I have seen and read all the posts in this thread started by me. I appreciate all points and posts, particularly by core team.
The least we can do is write and fax to Congress and demand. The IV team should set up a fax, so that each of us here can protest these moves by Congress without considering other severely backlogged applications. For this I propose a simple message.
Sir/Madam:
We are severely affected by retrogression and lack of visa numbers. Many of us, high skilled workers are waiting since 2001 for our Priority Date to become current.
We understand, as openly trumpeted by Hammond Law Group (reference: a post by HLG on Friday, February 09, 2007 at http://hammondlawgroup.blogspot.com/ and an email sent out by HLG on Monday, February 12, 2007) that the 110th Congress is considering allocating 90,000 unused visas from EB3 category EXCLUSIVELY for Sch. A workers. They had been given relief of 50,000 unused visas once in 2005.
We protest such a biased action. We had tried to reach many members of the house and senate and presented the above issue to them. Still our issues have not been resolved. We demand relief at equal footing. Do not appropriate all unused visas to one single category of affected workers.
Next one/two days are crucial. Let's make a difference.
Note:
1) In the above, I am trying to be focused, addressing one issue at a time. Backlogs, Slowness, Finger Prints are also other genuine issues. Let us stop the greedy stealing by HLG and their ilk.
2) If for whatever reason IV will not come up with a web fax, a few of us must act individually and let the congressmen and senators know of our protest. I had faxed to a few Congressmen and Senators, from the fax machine at my workplace. Believe me, these types of protests have worked in the past.

Jchan, I completely agree with you. We should look into how we can get attention of this to the concerned people and not side tracked.
Hi kate123, either it is a legislative fix or not, it's not up to us to decide. I saw the danger of our time and effort being sidetracked by trying to argue whether it's a legislative or administrative fix. The new secretary has made it clear that she is willing to push for BOTH Administrative AND Legislative fix if it's deemed necessary. Our goal should be bringing enough attention to her on the pre-application issue and convince her it's a meaningful change that will help both the DHS and the applicants, so she will push for changes. Please let me know if you agree.

Well, I've got a few reasons.
1. I don't like the attitude that comes along with the people that speak it.
2. I just don't like the language.
3. I don't live anywhere close to a place where I must know Hindi to survive.
4. The Indian Constitution recognises English as a subsidiary official language.
5. If I have survived as long as I have without knowing Hindi, I'm sure I can survive without knowing Hindi for the rest of my life.

Mate if you are an Indian there is no place in India where you can avoid Hindi. Hindi is our national language and that does not make it optional for you to speak or understand.

But skil bill is having permanent increase of GC and H1 and also exemptions will increase further immigration numbers. Though it is a permanent solution to resolve retrogession of pd it will face big oppostion from anti immigrants.
True.
(1) Will they at least agree to exclude spouses and children from the cap?
(2) Will they bother to get rid of the provisions allowing filing for EAD even if PD is not current?
If the above 2 measures survive we will get some relief.
Also the naming of the bill SKIL and the language is very difficult to oppose.The anti-immigrationists will find it difficult to oppose. Is this wishful thinking? don't know.
Also it is a politically correct thing for most of the legislators to support SKIL, except for the provisions to increase the H1-B numbers.
Any comments from IV core/senior members?

Yes but that is when the provisions of the bill come in to effect.
There is another clause which says "Any pending visa applications filed before the INTRODUCTION of this bill will be counted under the old system". In other words all the I-140s filed after May 15th ( Or June 19th) will have to be re-filed under the merit system if they are not approved and GC received when the Bill is in effect. That Effective date is the one you are refering to. Introduction date is when the bill was added to the senate calander.
Yes. On page 291 bottom, that phrase is there (line number 40, section b). It talks about keeping those petitions intact. I believe the effective date is still October 1st 2007.
There is a reference about labor certification applicants keeping their priority dates. The expectation could be that BECs will clear all petitions by September 30th 2007 and there would be a rush filing for I-140s before October 1st 2007.

One quick question....if the spouse is on H4, working on EAD and then travels outside and comes back in using her H4....can she then still use her EAD.....??
Yes fill the I-9 form and again can continue work on EAD..but better use AP at POE if she already used EAD before..
my 2 cents..

If you do paper filing only I-485 EAD.
Depending on how you have applied, furnish information.
I have summarized my experiences, which is enriched by others in the following thread http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18737. You may find some useful information.

Well this is an unfortunate development nevertheless it brings closure to months and months of speculations and hope for us. For past one year IV has provided as with a forum to fight for a our just cause and brought together all of us like minded individuals. I sincerely thank IV for that and doing countless things beyond what they have signed for. This has been a hard fight full of down moments but all in all it was a worthy experience. I guess we are at a juncture where I get the feeling despite our hard efforts to distinguish ourselves based what we are and what we represent, there is a growing consensus to tie us with what we don't represent. To me giving us what we are asking for, ONLY when they will print 12 million+ Green Cards for people who have falsified identities, carried no driver's license and have fled to America to fight hunger and poverty is an insult to what we have fought hard to achieve in life (education, career etc) in past many years. I have seen numerous stories on IV forum about folks who struggled to renew driver's license at DMV's and that's just tip of the iceberg I can go on about the struggle each one of us has faced to keep legal status amidst recessions, job loss, insanity of DOL, USCIS and many other hurdles. I don't have much to say except that the next step to achieve our goals is a conflicting priority. At this point I feel that there is no need to educate people who choose to be ignorant. I will sign off now !!! I wish good luck to IV and Thank IV core for doing more than what they have signed for.

We have seen in the past years EB3 ROW got huge visa bonanza at the cost of EB2 I & C. And now apparently EB2 I & C is getting rightly deserved visa bonanza.
How about asking DOS to give similar visa numbers to EB3 I & C as a one time exception. I know people will say it is against law, but in my opinion law is fuzzy enough for this to happen.
DOS can give explanations like "Visa numbers will be given to oldest PDs or some thing". Per my calculation EB3 I needs 68K visas to move past 2003.
We (IV) may have to make representation to Secretary of State and try and convince her.
DISCLAIMER:- I am Eb2 and current in Aug.

In the scenario presented above, or where USCIS erroneously issued a GC when PD is not current, the obligation on the GC applicant's part is to report the error for appropriate resolution by USCIS. Even if the GC applicant (like my best friend who got his GC in 2008) is not aware of the detailed process, and is not tracking RD, PD, ND, the applicant still has an attorney who is representing the applicant. Also, filing the I-485, doesn't automatically guarantee the issuance of a GC (eg of withdrawing $100, expecting to get $100 but getting more than that amount - comparison is not apples to apples when talking about expecting GC after you file I-485).
In the end, when these situations occur it boils down to doing what is ethically and legally appropriate, within an appropriate response time frame.
-Nola
Nola, your intentions are good, but I do not agree with your conclusion. You are biased against yourself and other applicants.
1. who, applicant or cis, is required to make sure gc process is properly followed?
2. also, if someone goes thru' "pain of gc revocation" due to cis error, isn't it ethical (and legally required) to provide "ead/ap" (so person can continue to work and feed his family, be in status), "reinstatement of (again) pending 485" etc. to that person by cis?
3. are these legal & ethical norms only applies to one party or both parties involved in this process?

Some non-IT companies would not sponsor H-1B visas because of unwanted complex process/paper work or they can not compete for visas filed left and right by big companies. The job is not going to wait for the visa availability. Please stop nonsensical, insensitive posts without knowing the reality and frustrations.

Nicely put paskal.
Let's do something (call Senators, Representatives, lobby) and put our collective strength behind getting those 200000 unused visas. RECAPTURE is the mantra .
you must know something i don't.
aman kapoor is the president and founder of iv- of course you can argue he now has his GC but that fact is he is still the heart and soul of iv and runs the organization on a day to day basis. he is EB3.
the "core group" does not much exist in practical terms right now. there is instead a large "leaders group" that helps coordinate actions and strategy.
this group has a lot of active members- and i find it "comfortable" to say that the majority are EB3. which may actually count for something- since i actually do know somethings you don't :-)
no one stops anyone from doing anything. but whatever you do (and yes you actually have to DO, not just keep talking), has to have a sound basis. Many of the suggestions put forward have flaws, and actually papu and others have been pretty helpful in politely helping to point those out and suggesting changes. of course reddog took objection even to that! incidentally, just for the record, you may want to look at pappu's profile . HE IS EB3!
so what do you want anyway? should we go tell USCIS that leftover Gc from EB2 ROW should go to EB3 ROW instead of EB2 I/C? what about the 28.6% that should belong to EB2? and since you are EB3 I- how does this help you in any way? or should we tell them to stop the preference catogories in INA and make EB1=EB2=Eb3? somehow i do not think that is going to fly.
where were you when USCIS implemented vertical spillover in 2006 and left EB2 I in a U state while giving EB2 Gc numbers to EB3 ROW?
did you object then? did you start a campaign? did EB2 I folks here start saying that iv did not care about them?
in 2007 ordinarily, (like 06) EB2 I and EB3 I would have got only 2,800 GC each. because of iv's efforts in reversing the july bulletin, EB3 I got a huge number of Gc instead. many more than any other category. i don't remember anyone else standing up and saying that this was unfair and that iv is all about EB3I. and that's what a lot of anti iv folks say. that iv is all about EB3 India. so this is very ironical.
and i see here a comment that every campaign has been bad for EB3 india.
i guess july reversal was bad. i guess the campaign for recapture is bad. and the 2 year EAD is bad too. not to mention the gathering support to end country quotas.
you opened my eyes :-)
