How can you judge God's intentions when you don't know Him? Can you prove that God does not exist?
I prayed god to get my GC before 2008.If God really exists I'll get my GC in 2008.If not it's a proof that God doesn't exists.
I'll have to wait for few more hours to prove.

04/28/2007: Sen. Hagel's Immigrant Accountability Act of 2007, S.1225, and Point System for Legalization
The Senater has released the skeleton of this bill that provides for legalization of illegal aliens as part of his Comprehensive Immigration Reform legislation proposal. This is a companion bill to his High-Tech Worker relief proposal. Supposedly, S. 1225 is to cover the illegal immigration issues and the High-Tech worker relief bill is to cover the legal immigration issues.
It is uncertain the point system the House Judiciary Subcommittee is scheduled to have a hearing on 05/03/2007 is limited to the legalization legislation or overhaul of the total immigration system. If it is limited to the legalization, we would not necessarily oppose to the idea, but it involves overhaul of the entire immigration systemn, we would strongly oppose to such point system.
The point system which Senator explained in the press release in S. 1225 includes the following:
� Military Service (after meeting initial qualifications for adjustment)
� Advanced English proficiency
. Civic Engagement � significant community service work (religious or secular), a clean criminal record, and on time payment of income taxes for past work
� Business ownership (which employs at least 2 unrelated �legal� workers)
� Home ownership
� Work History (points for each year of work an alien can prove) (Like Hagel/Martinez)
� Education (additional points for all levels of education)
� U.S. Presence (points for length of time in the U.S.) (Like Hagel/Martinez)
� U.S. Citizen/Permanent Resident Spouse or minor child
(A)Basic Points FACTOR POSSIBLE POINTS
Work :The range of points is based on the number of years a person has worked in the U.S. (Up to 5 points per year possible.) 15-30
Education :An alien may earn minimal points for primary school, additional points for high school or obtaining a GED, or skilled trade license. 15-30
Family: A person may earn points for having a U.S. citizen child; additional points may be awarded for a U.S. citizen/legal resident spouse. 10-20
English: The range of points is based on level of proficiency - the more fluent, the more points. 5-15
Civic Engagement :Points may be earned for community service, having no criminal or civil infractions, and on time payment of taxes. 5-20
U.S. Presence: The range of points is based on the number of years a person has lived in the U.S. (Up to 5 points per year possible.) 10-12
Total Possible Points: Specific point values will be determined by regulation. 60-127
An alien must earn 65% of available Basic Points to eventually qualify for a green card and citizenship.
(B)Extra Credit Points :Extra points may be awarded to those immigrants who have made exceptional contributions. FACTOR POINTS
U.S. Military Service :Points for being eligible for honorable discharge. Up to 20
Business Ownership :Points awarded if business is sustained for 18 months and alien employs at least 2 non-relative employees. Up to 10
Advanced Education: Points for college degree or advanced degree. Up to 15
Home Ownership :Up to 5
Other Circumstances: There will be factors that we are unable to anticipate at this time. These factors, and the points to assign to them, are at the discretion of the Secretary of Homeland Security. Up to 20
The Senator is expected to release the summary of his bill. The full text of the bill will also be published sometime next week. Please stay tuned. Until that time, please refer to the Senator's presss release.

Do you really agree with multi-national managers(via L1A). This is the area wherein the interpretation is pretty loose. If you dissect EB1 data you would find that EB1C used bulk of it except for this year due to bad economy and tightening of screws. There should be some very clearly defined guidelines for EB1-C, somebody being an onsite coordinator or managing 5 people should not be eligible. This category should be reserved for those who are managing at least 100 people or control business in several millions. I agree that EB1 should be just for the exceptional.
I support you, most of the guys L1A/Bdon't deserve to be in EB1. If L1 (especially the offshoring companies) are that good then all of us are eligible for honorary greencards....
the whole L1 rule for GC and L1 visa is just exploited to its limit.

Question gurus... I have a xerox copy of my approved I-140. Will this be enough to port the priority date? or do you need the original copy to be submitted along with the new I-140 application when you request portability of older priority date?? please clarify.

I think Info Pass is the best solution for this. You have only a few days for that. So hang on.
I am planning to take info pass too. But to ask for expedite request, I think 90 days should have passed since application sent.
My Above mentioned EAD is approved today. I got the Card ordered mail from CRIS today at 7 pm...

From your profile,it seems that you are not a citizen neither a permanent resident, but Mr. Obama is "your" president ?, you need to greened first my friend before you can call him your president, until then Pratibha Patil is your president, and i dont think she won a Nobel prize, although i dont think she is any less deserving, heading the most populous and ancient democracy the world has ever known.
Lastly, Congrats Obama, you da man.
:):) Well, if heart, mind, soul, ethics are already sold what can you expect?

Another key Republican calls for H-1B cap hike - Computerworld (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9215970/Another_key_Republican_calls_for_H_1B_cap_hike)
I think there is a need to educate politicians that the problem is not H1B but GC backlogs. As per USCIS only 7100 H1B's have been utilized so far for FY 2012. Unless they provide clear and time bound path to Permanent Residence, positive economic contributions from high skilled immigrants would be minimal.
======================
I agree that we MUST educate them.
Most of them do not know anything about L1. They think only about H1. I have been to my Congressman's office several times and have written numerous letters (not emails but printed and signed letters, as they have a better impact).
Requst one and all to do that. CIR is dead now. What next? can we debate?
Cheers!

Hillary just cares about vote bank. The Bay area group that invited her should not endorse her.
Shame on Dems.
The short answer is most republicans voted yes for the senator Cornyn's bill to recapture the unused employment -based visas from previous years and almost all Democrats voted No (except Murray democrat from Washington voted yes for the bill. I guess Microsoft does have influencial power on the senator from Washington state)
see the info here about bill: http://www.immigration-law.com/Canada.html
Yesterday, Senator Cornyn introduced on the Senate floor Amendment 2339 to H.R. 2669, FY 2008 Budget, proposing the following temporaary relieffor the employment-based immigrants. Sadly, the bill was rejected by 55 Nays, 40 Yeas, and one No Vote. Do your want to know who voted against this bill? Click here.

Our state is like Indian farmers. Indian farmers look for rain in July, August and september for good harvest...we look for July, Aug and Sept for good visa bulletin. Government will not do anything for hard working farmers in India and here for hard working professionals.

Disclosure : I have already received 2 year EAD (thanks to IV). I have taken initiative to bootstrap the effort to help others who haven't been so fortunate. Since we are all in the same boat let us watch each others back for a change, instead of trying to backstab each other at every available opportunity.
This is NOT a yet another case tracker /EAD tracker thread. I don't believe that just tracking stuff will change anything. Be it EAD issue or any other, real world action is needed to solve it.
I have started this thread to guage the impact this issue has had on our community , how many members are affected, what actions have been taken by them, so that next steps can be taken. If a large number of members are impacted IV may decide to take up the issue.
Here are the options available to applicants
1) Call National Customer Service Center and create a Service Request (SR) to expedite the case
2) Fax and mail a letter to Service Center requesting to expedite the case due to possibility of job loss. Since the burden of proof is on the applicant - a letter from the company that EAD is necessary for continuation of job may help.
3) If steps 1 and 2 don't produce the results and CRs refuse to open SRs citing silly reasons, USCIS Ombudsman may be approached.
Here's how you can do that - http://www.dhs.gov/ximgtn/programs/editorial_0497.shtm
4) Approach your US Congressmen/women Representative/Senators. Every office has a different form for requesting Immigration help. They can open an inquiry with USCIS on your behalf.
Following the above (4) steps is no guarantee that your case will be resolved. But it is necessary that we follow all possible avenues before the issue needs to be escalated. We shouldn't feel embarassed at the question "Did you follow up with all these avenues available to you?". Our answer should be - "Yes. We did all that and it didn't help". And we should be able to produce the proof that we did do all the four steps mentioned above.
If you have done all the four or after you have exhausted all avenues, AND are willing to take it further - speak to the media, participate in possible IV campaign etc., post your details. We need members ready to go public with the issue if we want to succeed.
Right now, I have started this as an individual initiative. But I am sure that IV will get involved once it's proven that a large number are impacted and there are enough members to turn it into a campaign.

You will also see "Approval notice sent". It means the card is on the way to your mailbox.
I feel for all of you whose EAD is not yet receive. When my EAD was pending for more than 90 days, I wrote an email to the Ombudsman. I don't know if it helped or not. I just got RFE notice 4 days after sending the email. After replying to the RFE (photos), I got my EAD with no problems.
