I understand that IV leadership is agains't lawsuits because they take time. However most of the timelines immigration lawsuits are of 1 to 2 years time.

We have a number of things to argue in a lawsuit. One can be the double dipping thing that a USCIS official himself agreed.
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_empbas.html
Then the lost visa numbers due to USCIS inefficiency can also be argued. There is a slim chance of visa bills being passed. Those people who are counting on Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill to pass there is a very slim chance also because Zoe Longfren herself told in a TV interview that anti immigrant groups are very strong now. The OPT lawsuit is the best example of hue and cry that anti immigrant groups are making.

I can't wait till we see the results of this initiative. Having a source (website, tool, whatever) that tells me how many people are in line ahead of me, and is refreshed on a periodic (monthly as new bulletins come out) basis will take a lot of the guesswork and day dreaming out of this.
A lot of us are in this mess for the long haul. A clear picture, even if it doesn't make the dates move any faster will ease a lot of anxiety and frustration. Atleast for me, it will.
If you're sitting on your ass thinking that there are other people contributing and their contributions alone will help meet the goal, you are wrong, most people are thinking the same way.
The way I see it, if you don't contribute/act to solve problems that you face in life, you have no right to whine about them.
Be like me, contribute, and then whine all you want.

Look.
I would have to be an absolute moron to contribute to IV, and to work for it, if at the end it costs me more in getting a green card.
So, either you think that IV-ers from ROW are morons. Or you want them to quit, and turn this organization into an Indians-only group.
Its as simple as that. You can quote all the laws in the universe, and come up with all the fancy logic that you want. But what I have said above is what it all boils down to.
No one here takes advantage of any group. We are talking here is what law says and how it is implemented by various agencies. The problem is there is doubt that DOS has not understood the law. No one is against ROW and loves India and China. US immigration simply based on preference catagories. For example, wife of U.S citzen will be given first preference in immigration (FB1) compare to brothers and sisters of US permanent residents (FB4or5). This is the law.
Similar thing in employment catagories too. Before 2000, there is a verical spill over of EB visas. Becase of this, a high skilled workers from India/China has to wait more compare to low skilled workers from ROW. This practice will not put US in technological edge. Thats why AC21 law implemented.
After 2000, congress removed country quota in all EB catagoires. The simple reason is to make US competiveness in 21st century. The intend is simple.
The simple meaning of AC21 law is, for example, let us assume following hypothitical situation. There are 40,000 noble prize winners from Mexico. All of them applying EB1 visas in a FY. In same FY, no one from other countries applied EB1 visa. As per AC21 rule, entire 40,000 visas (100%) goes to Mexico in EB1 irrsepective of how EB2 or EB3 or FE catagories are retrogressed or howmany mexians in EB/FB are waiting. This is what congress intend to promote high skilled immigrants to USA. This is what american competivness in 21 century. The intent here is noble prize winners should not wait even if they are from oversubscribed countries like mexico.
If you read word by word of AC21 rule ..you will understand what I am saying.
INA 202 (a) (5) (A)
EMPLOYMENT-BASED IMMIGRANTS NOT SUBJECT TO PER COUNTRY LIMITATION IF ADDITIONAL VISAS AVAILABLE- If the total number of visas available under paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) of section 203(b) for a calendar quarter exceeds the number of qualified immigrants who may otherwise be issued such visas, the visas made available under that paragraph shall be issued without regard to the numerical limitation under paragraph (2) of this subsection during the remainder of the calendar quarter
My intension is simple.
Even if SKIL/CIR bill passed in near future, if DOS or USCIS does not implement the law accordingly, it will be disaster for oversubscribed countries like India and China.

From the AILA Doc:
USCIS can now announce that the cap of 20,000 on these exempt cases remains open and that
USCIS will continue to monitor these filings.
That means - US-MS petitions on and before APril 9 are safe and USCIS is still accepting US-MS applications
Correct?
I guess so.
If we add up the 119K and 13K (masters) it is around 132K. if they have received only one application per packet, the counting is almost over except for the 1000 odd applications and the masters cap is wide open as Mr Oh said. It would have been good if they said how many packets still need to be processed.

yes..totally agree...it might cost around 1000$ but I think ppl shud take attorney..I felt the same after the interview.
I had every damn document for the last 6 years..every paycheck..all 94's..all empl..letters..
I felt it was a clean case..but you never know.
If possible, take attorneys with you
Well having attorney will help AC21 cases also. Who knows how limited knowledge has regarding AC21 and all the latest memo associated with it. Even if they have some knowledge they may try to impose a different interpretation of that on you during the interview.

I think USCIS actions are too random . I do not think they want to see the real projections or the real demands. If they wanted to , believe me it should not have been difficult at all. Nevertheless, the first step towards that would be asking for transparency. The letter and poster campaign can do that.
I agree!! What the few of us gathered here are trying to accomplish is to get the USCIS to FOLLOW THE RULES.
We are SICK of the monthly visa bulletin RANDOMNESS. We are not demanding our GCs to be approved immediately. We want transparency so that we can MAKE PLANS and get on with our lives.
WHY THE HELL can they not produce a figure for the number of pending cases in each category? They just pull figures (with a wide margin of error AND subject to correction) out of their BACKSIDES!

I am VoIP Engineer I use to work in a branch office in different state from where I filed my labor. My company forced me to move to head office which in different state even though I explained them my situation they just refuse to listen. I moved to different state as I had no option. Now my labor is in jepordy. More over I was reluctant to move out of the state where I was before due to my personal choice so I posted my resume on monster expressing my job location in the state where I was working. I was overwhelmed to receive the response from top notch telecom companies and went through series of interviews. All the companies I interviewed with were ready to hire me with higher salary than my current company even the cost of living is lower in the state. The biggest obstacle came when they learned that I dont have GC and they asked me to contact as soon as I have one.
I am frustrated as hell feel like lets go back to India or other country but then when I look to other folks with GC and their lifestyle I think may be it is worth to taste the bitter moment today for sweeter tomorrow but question is how long ?:(
All I wanted to express we are not cheap labor as many anti-immigrant groups claim. Like me I know most of us have skills that are in high demand which will benefit many American Corporates and in turn will benefit America. Retrogression Backlogs and unnecessary formalities is creating a "loose loose" situation.

Does the UCSIS do the filtering in my application? Or was there a special process i had to follow?
Thanks.

Like other people said, take the job and move on. No need to send any documents to file AC21.
I changed job last year and did not send any AC21 document. This year when I got employment verification RFE, my attorney sent a letter from my new employer that I am working on a similar position and also an AC21 eligibility letter. So AC21 can be done if and when you get a RFE for employment.
All is good (at least that's what I think)
absolutley true........ AC21 is not mandatory........respond only if RFE is generated....
just my 2 cents
Hi,
If any one can answer this question for me it will help:
My PD will be current with sept 09 bulletin. I was about to file for AC21. what should i do now:
1. File for AC21 and then if they raise RFE then chances are i am not be able to respond back to rfe or they delay the process of allocating a visa # for my case. In that case i may loose the sept 09 visa availablity for myself to get GC
2. Do not file for AC21 and hope i get my GC. In case they raise RFE I will try to respond and then see what happens.

hmm.... Well they are really lagging behind I believe.
Is there anyone here who took a letter of completion from the school to apply for the Masters Cap and has got H1B. or cica versa.
Guys please share your experience. I have applied the same way and I am wondering what my case result would be. I took a letter of completion from the school as I completed my degree requirements early and applied.
Sabhay, I did apply with letter of completion and got my H1b approval. You need not worry on that front.

If you have Universities in your area, check with the local students if they want to go.
Try your level best to get maximum attendance at the rally.

[B]The spill over from FAMILY CATEGORY can only be used starting from SEPTEMBER 01 2008. Otherwise it won't go with the interpretation of the law.
Also the spillover from EB1 (for august 2008 and anything remaining for the current year) will be applied on September 01.

Come on IVians ..... Is it so difficult to make you adults understand that the thurst we need year would be the biggest...do you want the tech lobbyist to increase only H1B's (remember they have lot of money). Guys we will lost in the crowd if don't prepare ourselves for the forthcoming face offs next year. We are closing in on the traget, but only thing which can make it happen is more members and more money.

Which USCIS Center did you go to. The best thing here would be that someone else also go to the same USCIS Center and can hopefully talk to the same IO officer. If she shows the memo again then we can get more information out of it.
This is the reason I would not want to give the ASC info. People will start bombarding the office, like they misuse the POJ method calling for nothing.

Signs of a maturing organization and community....
It's always best to put oneself in the other person's shoes and see their point of view, if they have one.
Having said that, I would urge IV members to not respond to such comments with inappropriate language or responses. Remember, this is an organization of "high-skilled professionals", and act like one.
cheers, and see ya'll in DC!

he is just expressing concern that more action is not taken. i wrote param a pm to explain, also this thread will not continue indefinitely. we do however need to be clear in our stand and in our actions. we should be able to enunciate what we believe without resorting to the kind of vitriol that is thrown at us. personally i am waiting to see that- it's important even to grow as a community and achieve success that we develop this ability. our strength lies in the facts not in any hate or rhetoric.
be rest assured that ip's of those that post such stuff are tracked for action.

Purpose and goal of the organization is to further your interests...
Whatever question you ask, we shall make an attempt to answer.....Even if it has been answered ....before we would again answer....
Do you find your questions answered ???...Do you think that this activity is useful...??
Please contribute to IV to further your interests....
As it is a forum and everyone have common in interests, while questions are answered, it is also important that we have collective opinions and conclusions, ie everyone helps each other with experience and no one does things for commercial purposes.
I have seen people not liking what I write, though I am not an expert, if you notice my posts, I always insist on being careful and not believeing employers or lawyers and not make your own conclusions about GC or USCIS or DOL or employers or Lawyers.
While most people want green cards, they do not realise that things are not the same as before, and maybe green card may or may not even be an option (that includes me too), which does not mean that we must not try or do what we can. Thats why I support IV, I have contributed $200 so far and will be contributing.
If someone can contribute with ideas, guidances, experience, that is also a contribution. I have seen lot of posts saying, we must dress up as Gandhi in Washington DC and have a strike, a day without h1b etc and ask for Green Cards. Such things may be possible if we have a majority like the illegals. If H1bs grow in millions, then it is a option. Such a situation may not arise. H1b system can be corrected at grassroots and IV is one such organization capable of achieving this without protests and strikes.
