The text of the testimonials on the sub committee hearing is uploaded. Do find the pdf of the testimonials at http://judiciary.house.gov/oversight.aspx?ID=452
All the witness except Mark Krikorian felt the 3 bills from Rep. Lofgren and one bill from Rep. Wexler (HR 5924 - addressing Nursing shortage) are the need of the hour.
Let us keep working on the phone campaigns.
Interesting reading. Wonder what is it about eugenics that still appeal to some people: Just get some geniuses and they will build heaven as opposed to people who are actually providing vital service to the community. I guess I should get my IQ results translated to English first.

I'm certain you cannot do that. While applying for H1B Visa, you can use experience in lieu of education, but while Perm/I140, they consider only 1 degree. Either its Masters or its Bachelors...even both of them are not considered as aggregates.
If your attorney is planning that way, he may not have handled such cases before... :eek:
You cannot substitute degree with experience while applying for Perm/I140.
... My attorney is planning to use 2 years of my experience to compensate for the additional 1 year of bachelors degree...

We are not sure of the chronology of events such as your wife's pregnancy, Your job change, your insurance start date. If you guys had individual insurance before your wife's conceiving, insurance cannot deny coverage as pre existing condition. Make sure you put these events in a time line and rule out the possibility of coverage. if you have done so, you have to explore other options.
As far as changing job is concerned, make sure your job requirement matches the same and similar concept. If you have used AC21, why not use it one more time? Of course, your PD and other personal issues might be stopping you from doing so. But if you are just thinking about using AC21 again, dont worry. Talk to a good attorney and drink the kool aid again.
The easiest way to get through this is to get under group coverage. I will let you know if there is any way you can sneak into group coverage. but the one I can think right on top of my head is joining an employer with health insurance

Interesting!!!
So, did you get your Green Card after that visit? Or Are you still waiting?
Your profile still shows I-485 as your processing stage, so I wasn�t sure.
It was in sept 07.

Immigration, back on the schedule, quietly
The oft-delayed White House immigration meeting is back on the schedule for tomorrow, and is expected to include congressional advocates of immigration reform from both parties.
Peter Wallsten wraps up Hispanic Democrats' frustration, but on balance, any mention of immigration continues to be, for now, a winning issue for Democrats, throwing salt into an open GOP wound.
Harry Reid says he has the votes for comprehensive reform, meanwhile, though the White House has downplayed the chances of getting it done � as Obama has pledged earlier � this year. An open question is whether Republicans have any ability to capitalize on that unfulfilled promise.
UPDATE: La Opinion prints a list of meeting participants including more Democrats and some Republicans, citing White House sources:
Senators: Robert Men�ndez, Patrick Leahy, Charles Schumer, John McCain, Mel Mart�nez, John Cornyn, Jeff Sessions.
House Members: Lamar Smith, Zoe Lofgren, Xavier Becerra,Howard Berman, Lincoln D�az-Balart, Luis Guti�rrez, Nydia Vel�zquez, Adam Putnam, Anthony Weiner.

yea this is correct. a member named united nations posted a detailed break down on immigration portal a few months back. This has been implemented by the DOS by suspending the AC21 rule of a variable cap and enforcing a hard cap of 7%. This was mentioned in the november or december 2005 bulletin.
From my perspective I think its a travesty that when the UCIS and the DOL has classified some of us as "exceptional" aliens, we can still not adjust our status because we were born in India or China while Mexicans with the same qualifications can. If the country limit is to avoid monopolization of numbers and enhance diversity...all categories for Mexico should be "U"

The following is from November 2005 visa bulletin published October 2005.
"During FY due to anticipated heavy demand, the AC21 provisions are not expected to apply, and the amount of Employment numbers available to any single country will be subject to the 7% cap."
Well, now I realized it is not DOS but again its me who was not upto date with the trend. This means that India cannot go beyond its 7% using unused visas. In the same bulletin there is something that indicated that it allocated too many visas to India in the past. Most likely DOS does not take any action until ROW eb3, eb2 and eb1 are current. Now I have also understood why the perm is necessary at the this time for row. Perm helps row move faster thatway in the loooooong run helping India when all the row is current.
There will not be any spillover to any India categories in the near future. This is the reason why India eb2 went unavailable. EB1 will soon follow the case. Eventhough eb3 moves, it was like unavailable for a long time. 1400 greencards a year in each category (excluding spouses from this ordeal) is hardly enough for India. I doubt there would be any encouraging direction in future as India had consumed too many visas in the past years. This is sort of balancing act as far as DOS is concerned. Only a change of heart can save India.
This is really bad for India as most of the people applied for 485 after spending nearly many years in BEC (that itself a retrogression). With Philly clearing non-rir 2001 eb2 labors, can't wait to see october's eb2 retrogression dates.
I wouldn't care about where the overflow/spillover goes as it is not for India.
Atlast, the email from murthy.com about eb2 visas going unavailable did not surprise me. My parents named me right and I am an enlightened person now.

how can Latinos be deported? Could you please explain? Are you accusing that all Latinos in this country are here illegally?
If I were a person of Latino origin, I will be very angry with folks who assume that all Latinos are illegals.
And to all the guys replying to my earlier post that such laws will increase racial profiling etc. In my opinion laws to make illegal immigrants' life difficult is basically good for us. I totally agree that non-white folks will be inspected by cops during the initial period of enactment of the law. What's the big deal about it. We will be stopped by cops. They will check our papers and will leave us, won't they? The same is true for Latinos (if they are here legally). Like I have written earlier, I have been living in a county which has implemented 287 g for the last several years and I NEVER had any issue with this. I have personally met the county chief of cop who has been a very vocal supporter of the program and he did not immediately arrest me.
The cop will fine you if you did not have the insurance card; under the present bill, the latino has a chance of being deported and not fined......huge difference!

Pappu,
As DOS has posted the NVC backlog numbers as on November 1, 2009, if the core team look at it and update the analysis. This data is not categorized via month but still may be helpful in prediction.
Thanks
http://www.travel.state.gov/pdf/WaitingListItem.pdf
In my view CP Data published doesn't help much here are the reasons. They need to publish the data in the same lines of CIS.
1. For EB2 3K visas doesn't change the dynamics.
2. For EB3 adding 20K visas will slow things more. But beyond that we can't say anything else.
3. ROW EB3 will be slow and Philippines will be dead slow.
The biggest thing that CIS/State needs to understand is that for EB2, they are going to pass 2007 Fiasco cutoff in the spillover and may waste the numbers.
We need to let them start a long term planning and make sure they don't waste visas. It is unfortunate that State thinks CIS can process all the AOS applications in a calendar quarter in most cases and in a month in some cases during end of year scenario. State needs to include DOL statistics and CIS processing bottlenecks to advance the dates. It is unfortunate that none of these agencies can sort their applications on date correctly.

Below are similar bills that were introduced last year (pulled from the opencongress webiste). These bills didnt go anywhere. They just ended as "referred to judiciary commitee" or "refered to subcomittee on immigration". How will this bill be different from these bills? I got a feeling nothing will happen in the end, not even a vote in the senate. I hope I'm wrong.

BharatPremi,
Congrats that you got it somehow. I also took a Infopass on Nov 7th and status changed to "Doc Mailed" within 2 Hrs of Infopass Appt ( spooky :eek:)and we both discussed about meeting Senator's office if it doesn't come in 7 days.
Looks like time has come for me to meet Senator/Congressman... Today is Nov 14th and in 7 days the mailed doc didn't come. I dont have any lawyer.
Shall i go waste a day and meet Senator or wait for some more - Kind of in a dual doubt and confusion :confused:
I would wait for one more week. Since you do not have lawyer, USCIS has to send you the papers. If within one week nothing happens, Go for one more infopass.. Best Luck.

If they can attach Dream Act as an amendment to the Defence policy Act why cannot they attach SKILL to the same. That is the question we should be acting on.
I think expecting Sen. Cornyn to do something now is kind of remote. He is going to be facing elections soon in 08. May be Cantwell is the one to do it.
What do you guys think?

No sir, I remember they provided them with lot of information, it's just that these 2 Senators want to kill H1B program, they had replied to him or not is immaterial..
Find the pdf with the questions he asked and compare to the answers they gave.
compare that with what happened with visa bulletin fiasco.
I think it was Zoe lofgren who sent a letter with very pointed questions to USCIS. I don't believe they made public their answer or if they answered it at all; and instead of fighting with Senator they reversed course and opened up the visa dates again. (A big part of me thinks that it was pure financial decision. USCIS was going to have fee increase and they realized that they would lose a lot of money but after they did their analysis; they realized their breakeven point was each candidate renewing ead/ap once and they would break even. They would even come out further ahead by allowing the applications because people would be renewing at least three times whereas in old fee structure it was only built in for one renewal).

How come such legislative efforts are not even in IV's radar now....
Always check with your state chapters.
State chapter leaders are more aware of our work than what we post on the forum for public.
There is lot of activity going on at this time. Everyone must join their state chapters to actively participate in IV effort.
There maybe some more news today. Hopefully... Stay tuned.
