We should attend. It matters a lot.. Even uneducated farmers fight for their right. Why should we not show some solidarity and let the nation hear our voice?

Interesting points. I have a question. When changing employers, after 180-day portability period, do we need to use the EAD or can the new employer file a new H-1B petition on your behalf essentially keeping your non-immigrant status valid at the same time your I-485 applied through your previous employer is still pending. Thanks.
Vinn,
Here are just a few that I can think of rightaway.
1. Once shifted to EAD you loose opportunity to renew or apply for a new H1B if you have not completed six years though.
2. You have to apply for EAD renewal every year and much in advance. H1Bs are issues for 3 year periods.
3. Suppose there is a delay in getting the renewal, you are NOT allowed to work until the renewal comes through. Renewal duration depends on the work load.
4. Fee of EAD is being hiked to $340 per year.
5. Couple of my EAD starting date was the approval date even though the current EAD had not exipred effectively loosing couple of months validity each time.
6. Due to some issues if I-485 gets revoked the EAD/AP are invalidated the very next moment and you accumulate illegal stay and would not have time to get the process going.
On the other hand having a H1B you can apply for EAD any time or not even apply if you have sufficient validity on it. Suppose the I-485 gets rejected you can reapply for a new one or from an another employer and still work/live legally in the US.
EAD allows you to work any type/number of jobs that is the big PLUS though!
TIA

If you are on H-1B, when you are leaving this country, your bank will have to close your accounts by law now. There can not be any residual accounts. I will confirm this with my bank and let you know.

so i understand how the whole 7% thing works now in relation to the total visa's available....
but what i dont get it the fact that EB3 ROW was at Aug 02 in april this year,
then in May it moved to AUG 03, so people were clearly getting through the system....
then in June it moved to June 05 so again in that month people where getting processed, and moving through the system....
then the July fiaco, i guess because they were running tight for visa numbers...ok water under the bridge.....
But now the Oct bullitin which is the start of the new fiscal year puts us back to AUG 02 again........how does that work??? i dont get it. how can they suddenly be dealing with people from 02 when even in May it was up to AUG 03???
I would have thought that with the start of a new fisacl year there would be a full fresh batch of numbers, and people would get through a bit quicker for a least a couple of months...you would have thought that it would be current for the first month on the new allotment....wouldnt you???
i dont get it.???
There is much info ont this board that explains why this happened? It has been posted and debated in much much detail. It boilds down to, visa numbers are allocated to each quarter. The visa quota year ends in September, so the run up to this was the last quarter of the year. Under mounting pressure a combination of the Department of State and the USCIS didn't want to be accused of wasting visa numbers again, so they pushed dates REALLY far forward to make sure they wouldn't.
That drama is now over and we return to the normal state of affairs.
Just because you are a Brit born and bred, don't think you'll get your visa any faster. IF your occupation does qualify you for an EB3 (Bachelors degree or experience equivalency) and you aren't in the states now on any kind of temprorary visa. What I don't understand is, if you aren't in the US now - what employer would sponsor someone for a greencard that won't arrive for about 6 years?

There are many here (on IV forums) who question if Lobbying and Grassroots efforts really works. It they didn't, we wouldn't be here!
Read the following article on early Indian Immigrants and their miserable conditions before 1946. How they overcame the racist/xenophobic labor groups opposition through lobbying and grassroots efforts and became citizens.
http://www.sikhspectrum.com/082006/citizen.htm
Read the article, become motivated, join MI chapter. Together we shall prevail
True stuff...
Those who question the lobbying and efforts are not really questioning it. They are actually saying that lets do nothing and let system figure it out itself. well, cant blame them. But we will move forward. We will do everything we can at local level to make sure that we are heard.

Dems winning the house is definitely a good news. Senate was always favorable to us. It was "majority of the majority" in the house that was totally against any kind of relief barring something for nurses. Most of the IV members know the retrogression story SR1932 onwards. But six months before that senate had approved relief for all EB categories under Tsunami Relief Act And the republican lobby in the house restricted it to nurses only. That was HR1268 of April 2005. You can refer to Murthy chat session of May 9, 2005 to read some info on this.
The presidential elections were just over then and primaries were not on the horizon for this congressional election. In short house republicans would have blocked any immigration relief; elections or not.
With Sensenbrenner and Hastret gone, at least now we have new people to deal with and we know they are more towards the center. We can now hope that our prayers would be answered.

Another rally simultaneously in many states will have good effect provided we have min 500 numbers in individual states.
And yes since we had the DC rally on a weekday (for a geniune reason)
it would be better to make this one a weekend rally just to push things and keep the momentum going. Sure a weekend will fetch 10* more crowd than on a weekday. Sunday would be much preferred as the next day is a working day and things will hot up..!
It can be one rally per neighbouring states.. eg > tristates -- NJ, NY & PA can have one rally . MD , DC & VA can have one ..
Seems like a good thought..

That hurts to see so many people using IV for tracking receipts on the day of the rally but not participating in the struggle IV is putting up just for them!!
But know what I think as members we have really considered all of them as one..! I mean.. we should have given special attention to DC and the neighbouring states to fetch in max people.. 'coz we can depend on them for proximity..! we have majorly focussed on getting people from various states..well that again paid off .. 'coz news articles particularly mentioned people flew in from states as far as CA etc..
We cannot consider a person from texas or seattle to be the same as one in DC / VA .. Its definitely hard to convince to attend a rally .. how can we convince to take a day/2 off and travel leaving family and rest !!
Its sounds good and practical for some but many others will not concur!
I think we learn from our doings...! we should next time try and rope in as many locals as possible than depend on people coming from afar!

Well, I don't know where you got the 6/7 years from. But the way I understand it, 7% per country does NOT mean that any one country is guranteed 7% of the visas. It simply means that no one country will get MORE THAN 7% of visas. So yes, even if your country was issued a very few visas in that fiscal year if the rest of ROW applicants used up all the numbers, you may have to wait for a while depending on your PD.
So if what you are saying is true, then form example, country "A" has only one applicant. Since ROW collectively used all the visa,country "A" has to wait 6/7 years to get visa number?

Thank you for writing to me regarding our country's immigration system.
Our nation's immigration and border security system is broken and must be fixed. We must require illegal immigrants to step forward and become legal and we must better secure our borders. We must restore the rule of law and enhance security at our borders. The Congress and the President must work together to reform our laws. We also must use the full force of the law against employers who hire illegal immigrants.
I support changes to the law that will require illegal immigrants to become legal. They must pay taxes, learn English, and pass criminal background checks. This process won't be easy or quick, but it will be fair and practical. Individuals who came to this country illegally will be bumped to the back of the line behind those who waited to come to this country legally. And illegal immigrants with a criminal record would be deported. Those who refuse to register and meet these conditions also should be deported.
To secure our borders, the government should require the use of a biometric entry-exit system for all land borders, so that we have an accurate record of who is entering and leaving the United States. We should create a "smart" enforcement regime which will produce more efficient inspections and screenings, and allow us to target and tailor our limited resources to combat illegal smuggling of people and contraband. I supported recent appropriations that provided $1.6 billion for border security fencing, infrastructure and technology, and facility construction, as well as the hiring of 3,000 new Border Patrol agents.
To meet the needs of our workforce and promote family reunification, we should set in place realistic immigration numbers and policies, and clear the backlog of legal visas, green card legal permit resident and citizenship applications. Senator Feinstein has introduced the "Agricultural Job Opportunities, Benefits and Security Act", S. 1038, in order to provide for new blue card visas and modify the H-2A program. Senator Mikulski has introduced the "Save our Small and Seasonal Businesses Act", S. 388, to extend the annual cap exemption for returning H-2B workers. While these two bills address key issues in the immigration debate, a comprehensive approach is the only way to adequately deal with this issue.
We can no longer ignore corporations who are hiring and exploiting illegal workers. This practice takes jobs away from Americans and depresses wages for everyone. These unlawful companies must be prosecuted and face stiff criminal and civil penalties. We need smart policies like improved border patrols, full enforcement of our laws, and requiring illegal immigrants to become legal.
The status quo is not working. Allowing 12 million to hide in the shadows and live in this country illegally is unacceptable. Our system must be fixed. Again, thank you for writing to me regarding this important issue. If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me in the future.

CIR is going to be back for sure no doubt about it and when it comes back it is going to be the same bill. Harrry Reid is just creating a drama so that he can reduce the number of amendments introduced by the republicans. There are currently more than 30 to 40 amendments remaining, with this drama harry reid is trying to reduce the amendments to about 5 or 6 more amendments.
We should try something like applying for 485 without priority date but even the cantwell cornyn amendment does not have this provision
There is a SLIM chance that CIR might come back this year, but if this CIR is taken again with its current provision for the EB Category and H1B in it, it is very bad for many of us.
Plan B, I think must be, trying to insert or get some sort of SMALL provision that would alleviate the problem for vast majority of us, into some appropriation bill (Read some where there will be 11 appropriation bill taken up this summer) as the appropriation bill must have to pass for the government to function.
I would either try for filing AOS while visa numbers are not available with an extra fee of $1000… or recapture of unused visas from previous years and use them once without country limit might help. As long as we are not asking for some thing new or more, but like recapture, change of process to ease the current problem, etc might have a SMALL chance.

Reddog: We discussed enough on this Donor and Freeluncher's. You decided not to pay. Why still keep arguing about it?
Why not you provide free lunch to your neighbor's every day? Over a period of time, those neighbor's will think it is their right to get Free lunch from you.
If you are a student and not earning, you have every right to request for free access. You claim to be Highly educated and earning and you still want free ride?
This was a smart reply.
People are so used to getting everything for free.
The starter of this thread never did anything all this while and when he has not got his greencard, he thinks he has the right to blame IV for his problems in life.
