Did anyone see Byron Dorgan's (Democratic Senator from North Dakota)interview on Stephen Colbert last night? This guy just wrote an anit-outsourcing book (http://www.amazon.com/Take-This-Job-Ship-Brain-Dead/dp/031235522X --no I am not plugging his book!) and he is full of 'they stole our jobs' rhetoric. This is typical outsourcing/globalization-bashing democratic mentality and it's disturbing to seeit still persists 2 years after Presedential elections.
Am I the only one who thinks that if Democratics takes over the House, we are screwed?
If the Democrats :cool: win, we will be screwed because the illegals will get all the visas.
If the Republicans :cool: :eek: win, we will also be screwed because nobody will get visas.

Congratulations, mine (485 and 765 for my husband) was received by TSC on July 24th but no receipt, no checks cashed nothing yet. It seems TSC is really slow in receipting the applications. My husband needs to travel abroad soon and we're anxiously waiting for the receipt...
My applications ( I-140; I-485; I-765) were mailed on July 27th to NSC and they had acknowledged received on JULY-30th as per the mail delivery confirmation.
Today I recieved a note from my lawyer that the receipt notice has been issued for all of my applications.
Phew that was a relief as I was about to leave to India soon and was worried about travelling without the receipt number.

Condi's statement
Dr. RICE: Well, this was a case in which for--at a certain point in time, we'd not filled the entire quota for these special immigrant visas. And made an announcement of that. But when they were filled, we had to cut it off at that point. There's a ceiling that's set every year and when that ceiling was reached, then we couldn't issue the visas any longer.
From New York Times Editorial
On Monday, the State Department announced that all 140,000 employment-based green cards had been used and no applications would be accepted.
Citizenship and Immigration Services, the definition of a hangdog bureaucracy, says the law forbids it to accept the applications.
Based on the above, I undersand that there is a law that forbids acceptance of AOS applications when the 140K quota is exhausted.
The following is AILA's response in New York Times Editorial.
The American Immigration Lawyers Association says this interpretation is rubbish.
I am very curious to see the immigration law that AILA calls rubish and is ignoring while filing the class action suite!

If any of these do succeed to make it through the congress, does it mean that the retrogression problem be totally eliminated (at least for the short term)?

Dont know how far it is true, but I always look at that website. And usually they update the happenings quickly. And most of the time it is correct too.
And in my office, they applied for three of us and one has got the RNs. But we haven't. Attorney says that she has got RNs for her clients who applied in August. And asked me to wait, as nothing else can be done at this point.

Agreed that H-1B has a fixed date. But from the employer standpoint, you're their "full-time, permanent" employee on H-1B, right?
Now you have come down from legal standpoint to employer standpoint! :D
The answer to your question is No.
Employer sponsors GC so that employee that is temporarily employed on H-1B can become permanently employed on GC job.
Again, you are mixing H-1B job with GC job.
Let me ask that question again (because you got confused last time)
Look at the I-140 application for GC (Page 2, Part 6, Question 5)
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-140.pdf
I wonder why uscis is asking "Is this a permanent position?", if according to you, "*no* job in this country is "permanent" (legally speaking)"
Did your attorney put No for this question for your I-140 app?
You still believe that no job is permanent. If so, all I can say, more power to you.
Have a good day!

I and my wife have been SCREAMING, FIGHTING for over four years now. We are now so frustrated that we have EVEN DISCUSSED THINGS LIKE TAKING UP OUR LIVES !!! I really mean it. For both of us, our career is the single most important thing.
We had decided to wait for our next step in life like having a kid or putting in a big investment till we both at least have a job. Inspite of both of us having Masters degress from US universities, we are both suffering - me languishing in a filthy job and my wife on H4 - for the past 5 years !!! She is now more than 35 making it difficult to have kids etc...
I don't have the choice of going back to my home country due to many other personal reasons. I just don't know what to do... I am losing my sanity.
Man, this website relieves my stress as it makes me realize that there are people whole lot depressed than I am , and it puts my life into perspective. Stress is only a state of mind.
For you sir, please live up to your username and cheer up. First thing you need to do is make a baby, everything will fall in it's place, trust me.

Totally agreed that quota increase is controversial and an alternative approach must be agreed upon - 1932, CIR and now SKIL has taught us that bitter lesson. I am not by any means questioning the wisdom of going after the low-hanging fruits like 485 filing etc. All I am saying is - we cannot assume everything else remains the same. Things like 485 filing etc are our niche goals - no corporate interest is served by that and in a brutally capitalistic country thats a huge disadvantage.The fact is ANY relief, whether it includes quota increase or not, still takes a lot of lobbying and money to introduce all on its own strength.Yours and mine promotion/career prospects are the least of the lawmakers' worries, however non-controversial it may be and however deserving we may be. The need of the hour is to increase our membership base and contributions - lets face it, 200k in funds is not going to get us too far on our own steam. If 6000 of us could achieve so much in an year, imagine what 100k will do. That way we will be a credible enough force to be heard and respected. It still beats me how we have only 6000 odd members despite the dire situation that the majority of EB applicants find themselves in since 2001.
Dixie, I am not denying that lobbying takes effort time and money. So far however we HAVE convinced the lawmakers about our plight. All I am saying is, we should ask for provisions that our anti-immigrant friends will possibly not object strongly to. It is not simply a matter of promotions and career advancement anymore. It is the fact that our lives are tied to one job and that God forbid should something happen to that job we are outta here. The IV core team already has points about the same and have been meeting lawmakers regularly. My point here is that maybe it is time to take a little step back and realize that at this stage just having yearly EADs is SO MUCH of a blessing for both the individual AND the spouse (if applicable). Like someone on here mentioned, IV was formed because of Retrogression NOT because of GC delays.

Hello, one of my friend had recently filed for H1B and needs guidance
Current Status : H1B expired, applied for renewal, converted to Premium processing to be able to renew drivers licence. He got an RFE asking tons of details about the company. The company responded, and was told by the lawyer that he is stuck in background check. He tried to contact a senators office to get the status and was informed by the senators office that USCIS intends to send him an denial notice and the case is with the clerical staff to send the denial, he would hear shortly from his lawyer.
His I-94 has already expired, he has a 140 approved recently and has not yet filed 485.
What are the immediate steps he needs to take to maintain his status in the country.
Any guidance will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
I have only seen one person get through background check in the last year. That was through senator intervention. Person got approved (it was a premium processing case). companies generally do not want to go throgh senator/congressmen intervention due to fear of tweaking uscis.
Since his 140 is approved then he is not subject to the quota. However; he could just wait or file another h-1b with another comany. If he asks for I-94 card then uscis could ask for maintaining status. He is in what is considered a "bridge period". that is when I-94 card expires; you are legally here but if you fle an h-1b with another company then they shouldn't approve the second h-1b until the first one is approved (uscis doesn't always do this). Sometimes they approve the second one. However; if the first one gets denied then you wuld not be considered in "status" from date I-94 card expired until second companies h-1b got approved with I-94 card (would have greencard implications later).
He could just file an h-1b with another company in premium (do not ask for I-94 card). If/when uscis approves it then he would have to go for visa stamping and get I-94 card at the border.
