I fail to see what is unjust about this. They move unused numbers from EB1 to EB2 because it works this way.
EB1 -> first level of preference
EB2 -> second level of preference
EB3 -> third level of preference
Now are you saying they should skip level 2 and drop some unused numbers from 1 to 3 directly? Why? That would actually be unjust.
To be fair, the US immigration system cannot be blamed because a lot of us desis have entered the queue.
it depends on who is in which category ..I feel the above (1 -2 -3) is unjust ..not that I/we can influence how it flows. my view is that the category which is at the end should get more visas ...and I would support this even if things change tomorrow (EB3 current and EB2 severly retrogressed or EB-wwide - retrogressed ..not that it will ever happen !!)

One question i have and many others like me would be interested in knowing is a clear description on how the money collected will be spent. I understand by reading your posts that it will be totally transparent and will be detailed out every week. But its more important for people to know before hand on how and why money is needed, before they can open up their purses generously.
US-Alien,
We have posted several times that we need the money to hire a lobbyist. We got some financial quotes: it will cost up to $100K to hire a lobbyist for 4 months.
Why do we need a lobbyist:
1. We can meet Congressmen's staff on our own but it would be difficult to get appointments. Lobbyists tend to be former Congressmen or staffers with connections who can help to get apppointments.
2. With the S.1932 debacle, last minute deals were cut and the immigration provisions were removed from the conference report of the Senate and the House. We need someone who can use their contacts and find out what is going on with the bill that has our provisions in it. We need to make sure that our stuff doesn't get thrown out in another backdoor deal. During S.1932 we never got to the actual Congressmen or Senators to plead our case.
3. We need someone to tell us what exactly to tell Congressmen. We were saying all along that we need green cards because we can't buy houses, can't get promoted etc. But the one lobbyist pointed out that Congress would be much more receptive if we said we wanted to immigrate and the delay in green cards was holding up our immigration.
Does this make sense?
Please post and let me know.
I can understand that people want their money to be used effectively. But please also realize that in the bigger scheme of things, $100 is the average cable bill for 2 months. Even if we don't succeed, it is a far better use of my money than cable.

YogKc, how did you get the temp license? which state? am I eligible for temp licese at PA if I did not get the license before the current one expires..
green_world, it's in Los Angeles, CA. They will provide you the Temp DL. They will tell you that they need check with the Immigration office.
I think the best bet will be to renew the license thru web if possible.
Good Luck

The way i see it, they've asked for past emp letter with tax forms and some w2s.
None of those would indicate that you were on the bench.
The emp letter should basically just indicate your dates for employment - start/end date, designation, duties and perhaps salary. that's all.
Yes, they asked just employment letters, W2's and tax returns. Thank you.

this whole thing sucks. USCIS cannot adjudicate even I-131 on time. We have booked our travel tickets after 100 days of Received date of AP renewal application and looks like we have to cancel our tickets and waste $1800. This really blows and its attrocity to the core that USCIS cannot process AP renewals inside 90 days time period and its a shame that they are not answerable to anyone.
Please post your info-pass experience. We are in the same boat. My wife's AP is pending since 6th June 2010.

Honestly though, OP's proposed law would get much more congressional support than EB reform.
If first you gave amnesty, and then allowed ppl to sponsor their parents on a GC, the illegal immigrant lobby would be very very happy.

forgot one thing.
NO short forms.
On the check write US department of homeland security
NO dept.
NO USCIS
DONT forget "US"
For EAD, $340 check payable to "USCIS" is OK. University instruction mentions chack payable to USCIS for EAD and thousands of students made check payable to USCIS.
Refer below also for more explanation:

The number of people prior to Jan 05 is up to 89 and I am sure it will keep peeping up.
The factor of 100 (1 % polling) seems to be a realistic assumption.
Considering the above numbers/assumptions we are looking at the following number of people awaiting approval next month:
89 * 100 * 2.25 = 20025
By this poll/statistics somewhere between 20K - 25K people are awaiting approval next month.
Also there seems to be no more approvals as per after 08/21. Either all the people have been greened (barring a few with some complexity in their case) or the visa numbers have been exhausted(I do not think the latter is the case).
Hopefully a big chunk of these people do get their approvals next month.
GOOD LUCK!!!
Even if its multiplied by 100 we should be ok, if the USCIS does a good of not waisting visas by doing their best in the month of Sep. Say we have 6500 * 2 .25 (Family) = 15000people waiting from EB2 2004. Looking at the spillover numbers from last year, we might be lucky enough. Just trying to be optimistic for the next 35 days.
We received our 2nd biometric appointment notice for Sep 11th. Our Notice date is Sep 19th 2007. Just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for something good. :)

Never said that.

It's most interesting that Mexico EB3 moved past the 2001 Apr30/May01 barrier. So the theory that fired Java/HTML H1's from the dotcom era bring up the 245(i) does seem to hold water.
I dont know what to say about EB2 India.

Basically, if your 485 is pending for more than 180 days and you lose job, then technically you can start using EAD and move on using AC21.
Chandu, my question is not whether HR dept can handle it properly or not.
My intention/question here is if an applicant is on H1 (most of the cases 5th or 6th yr of H1) and then loose the job and until he finds other job (has EAD but never used it) the applicant does not have payroll running during the break. then technically is he ok or does he has to maintain h1 status or does EAD protect him.
Coz until he finds a job and files for AC21 an applicant does not do any thing.
And what do you mean by satisfy AC21 criteria. unless you find a job you cannot file AC21....so during the gap (what is the status of this gap?...technically I am trying to find an answer. please point me to a link or document. If you are aware of it, else can IV find an answer to it)
"f you lost job on h1b and satisfy AC21 criteria then you are in pending AOS state and use EAD to work."
Chandu, thanks for at least answering my question.
Good luck for you!
