There is good chance that we might loose visas this year too....with USCIS allocating resoucers to citizenship apps given the elections in november.
We need to prevent that....that ought to be priority # 1....recapture can happen in parallel .
Last year there were not unused visas.
Worldwide Employment-Based preference limit: 147,148
Actual number of EB visas issued: 154,458

gsc u r a lil confused
speaker pelosi is the head of the house of representatives (Lok Sabha) with Steny Hoyer serving as majority leader in the House and Senator Reid is the majority leader of the Senate (Rajya Sabha). The president of the senate is the VP
Both have floor schedules and have issues that need to be debated on. the bill has to pass in both houses..either with the exact same wording or alternate text that will be reconciled in conference committee

Yaba:
The title of this thread is discussion on Senate floor in May 14-21, no confusion about that. Reid will schedule the debate not Pelosi. I don't know if you have even read the article quoted here? It clearly mentions Hoyer in House and Reid in Senate. If nat23 had said why is Hoyer driving the agenda in house and not Pelosi? That would make perfect sense but how can Pelosi drive Senate agenda. My response was to that point. If you still argue that, I think you might need to clarify things at your end.
Also, the example you cite isn't appropriate to the context because both Indian Lok Sabha and the British House of Commons have a non-partisan Speaker. He resigns from his primary party as soon as he becomes the speaker. This is not the case in US congress, speaker of the US house of congress is a partisan leader. The implication is that Hoyer, even though a majority House leader may not drive the agenda and this connects to the point made earlier: Pelosi vs Hoyer not Pelosi vs Reid.

We would like to know the count of GC waiting applicants with US citizen children.
Is there any plan to propose another class to USCIS in addition to EB1, EB2, EB3, ...?
I may have to wait for 25-30 years for my grand-childrens to sponsor me.

When I was hired last spring, I was not told about GC retrogression by my employer. I beleive they should have explained in graphic detail and if they done so I would not have left a good job and my home in Canada to move to an American nightmare.
I recently discovered that I have at least a 5 year wait as an EB-3. My teenage daughter will be too old to get a green card as a dependent and my wife is seriously depressed about not being allowed to work.
How many other people are as P-Oed as I am and is there a class action suit here?
I'm pretty upset too after getting the same nasty surprise. Fortunately I only have about 100 miles to move to return home. I'm surprised that a major corporation like the one that hired me would be so sleazy.

You mean to say CIR will be introduced to the immigration or judiciary senate committee or introduce directly to the senate. If it is introduced directly to the senate floor that will save a lot of time, on the flip side it will become difficult to add or change provisions if it is directly introduced to the senate bypassing the senate judiciary and immigration committee
Bills almost never go to the floor directly. Especially something as huge as CIR. It will go thru committee again and it will go thru normal rounds of debate and amendments between the 18 people in Judiciary committee.
Its very unusual for a bill to hit the floor directly without going thru the committee that has jurisdiction over it. If it happens all the time, then the committees would be meaningless. The whole point of having a committee is to be able to either kill the entire bill, or a congressional appointment before such a bill / confirmation is debated by all 100 senators. Same thing in the House.
If it was possible to bypass committees, then people would have floored the SKIL or other bills directly on the floor of the house, therby bypassing Jim Sensenbrenner and his Judiciary committee last year.

Completely agreee with hari_baby22. Couple of days back I posted that immigration voice could get a lot more donations if they publish there earnings/expenses report online and make everything transparent. Lot of people including myself, do not contribute because they dont know how funds are getting used. My post was deleted by administrator and I got following message -->
Here is the message that has just been posted:
***************
We don't think you are for real. We believe you are an agent of a for profit immigration website.

This time my user account itself might get deleted....
Guys I had posted this yesterday IV is a non-profit. Check the video below - there is nothing to hide:
Immigration Voice funds disclosure on Yahoo! Video (http://video.yahoo.com/watch/234998/1863489)
The fact that IV is helping Donors is because all its activities are only possible because of Donors, and we are still short of funding. If this was for all for free, then no campaign could be acheived.
And believe it or not , we get a lot of spam and rogue users visiting IV.
BTW I am not in IV management
We need you and a lot more to join. I can't believe you cannot trust IV a non-profit organization with even $25

Since I140 petition is for future employment, it shouldn't matter that you were on F1 when it was filed. However, you may have a problem with adjustment of status. You may have to do consular processing if you are still on F1. But since you've changed to H1, I don't think it matters again. Could you consult an attorney or pose this question at the next attorney conference call?
I am sorry to ask the question again, but what is the consular process? and how is it processed?
I am sorry if i sound lost here, but when is the next attorney conference call?
Thanks for all the reply.

May be they can accept I-485s for July to honor original July bulletin. They can do this without changing any law as they can say they are accepting as per DOS bulletin for ones who already filed or going to file as per original bulletin.

Why don't you find someone who is in similar situation ? i.e. who is on EAD or on H1. There several websites that can help you : shaadi.com, jeevansathi.com, bharatmatrimony.com. Now I'm not endorsing these sites. Just providing you with some options you can look at. Man accept it - life is tough. We have to play the hand we have been dealt. Also remember one more important quote:

Is it possible to file I-485 without I-693(Medical) ?
The reason I ask is that I cannot get a doctor's appointment in July. For some reason, if we are able to file in July, can I submit the 485 first and submit teh I-693 later.
Please advise
Where are you located?. East bay?

I believe USCIS is trying to comlete the receipting job from all the Service centres.
so you wont be sruprised if folks started reporting their receipt numbers start with EAC (for Vermont).
Let USCIS do their job of receipting everyone who filed in July-Aug 2007.
Ultimately processing will be done at USCIS NSC and TSC for I-140 and I-485 due to their bi-specialization program.
So no worry be happy...Support IV

If you are on H1 and switch to another H1- you do not need to worry about Cap
If you are on H1 and switch to EAD- you have relinquished your H1.Whenever you wish to resume your H1- at that time you will go against the Cap.
Hope this clarifies
What about if one comes back on AP and hence has to use EAD but also has a valid H1 approval ( but no stamping in the passport ) . Can they go back and use that H1 approval for stamping and come back on H1 ? They are still working for the same company which sponsered the H1 and the GC

basically, there are lot of people on the other site, who don't want to join iv but participate:) they think that they might be accidentally causing a benefit to iv by joining iv:)
Priceless!
Speechless!
Such attitude is Worthless! How confident should we be that they will stick to the message and not go of on tangent in the meeting? It may be better off not to have them.
If people believe a cause is worthwhile and will benefit them, they will come - and registering will not be an issue for them.
If people don't want to do the heavy lifting, they will give any excuse - including registering as the detractor to join the cause. The change has to come from within and cannot be forced. You can talk to a person who has a question on what needs to be done during the advocacy days, you can talk to a person who has doubts - if he/she can be reasoned with, but you are wasting time with people who have no intention of participating to begin with!

This is how it should be done...
- request USCIS to port your PD from already approved I-140 from past employer
USCIS may or may not do it for you
- if not apply for I-485 using Category of 2nd (should be EB2) and PD from 1st one. You need to attach both of these with I-485 application and of course a covering letter stating what you are doing.
Here is the extract from the law -
QUOTE
(3) Priority Date Based on Earlier Petition.
If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example:
Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification.

BTW- if u have an approved I797 and an expired I94, u are not out of status....when u travel next time out of country...keep current docs with u and when u reenter...the POE officer will give u i94 based on ur latest I797..
What I dont understand is when u entered US in may 06, with a I797 of 2010, why didnt the POE officer give u i94 until 2010?
