Does anyone know whats the protocol for the Bill to be passed???
After the Floor Debate the bill goes to White House or again there has to some measures taken from Senate???? I know there some initiative taken in Senate (last year)..
I am just trying to check if there is any timeline on how and when this bill will be passed.. :rolleyes:
Macaca has posted a thread explaninng the legislative process ..
Please go through it...
For a bill to become law...
1. House has to pass it..
2. Senate has to pass it..
They might pass different versions..
3. They have to resolve their differences through conference process.
4. The conference report is approved by both houses..
5. President signs it...
The sempember timeline looks realistic...
Please donot post the same question at multiple places...

Thank you ChanduV23
- On behalf of the Core IV Team
I am a highly-skilled professional who entered this country legally. I’ve been waiting for my US permanent resident visa -also known as "Green Card" for the past several years along with 500,000 other educated, highly skilled employment based (EB) immigrants. Many of us have been waiting for our turn to get Green Cards for 5-10 years while consistently abiding by all the laws of this country. Such long delays are due to tortuous and confusing paper work, backlogs due to various quotas and processing delays at US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) and other allied state and federal agencies.
Several categories of EB immigrant visa (Green Card) numbers have been unavailable (“retrogressed”) since the fall of 2005. Because our immigrant petitions are tied to the sponsoring employer, these delays have led to indentured servitude for several of us. Our professional prospects, job mobility and potential opportunities for entrepreneurship have been compromised.
For the past several decades, the US Department of State (DOS) has been publishing advisories known as visa bulletins once a month to announce the availability of immigrant visa numbers. On June 13, 2007, after a gap of nearly two years, DOS announced that all EB visa numbers would be “current” for the month of July. This meant, irrespective of our “priority date” (date assigned to us for our turn in the line for Green Cards), all of us were made eligible to apply for some interim immigration benefits. This “priority date” refers to the date when our labor certification (documentation verifying no US citizen worker was available for a given job) had been filed.
Please note that 6/13 DOS announcement would not have led to immediate green card for most of us; but at least it would have ensured us interim benefits such as the right to travel and right to work- this was still a welcome change. Especially, for dependent spouses who have been otherwise unable to work, this would have translated into right to travel and work without restriction and thus channel their energies positively. Several dependent spouses are also highly-skilled. This would provide them an opportunity to realize their technical and entrepreneurial expression and add to tax dollars. Additionally, this would have greatly reduced the paperwork burden on our sponsoring US employers.
Tens of thousands of applicants spent thousands of dollars in legal fees, immigration medical exams & vaccinations & getting various supporting documents ready to file our immigrant petitions to USCIS, at times inconveniencing our old parents in our home countries as well. It has been an agonizing two weeks for us. Some of us to had to fly in our spouses from our home countries or have had to cut short business trips. To our shock and dismay, on the morning of July 2nd 2007, USCIS announced that EB visa numbers were not available and all petitions filed in July would be rejected.
For the legal skilled immigrants this has been a rather traumatizing and disheartening experience.
We sincerely seek immediate congressional/ legislative remedial measures which would
(1)Reduce the enormous backlogs of green card petitions of legal skilled immigrants
(2)Ensure and request USCIS not to reject our immigrant visa petitions filed in July and provide us interim benefits of a pending immigrant visa petition. We make this sincere request on this Independence Day with the hope that people who played by the rules will be rewarded.

What is the normal time frame for receiving AP papers?
My wife's AP papers were mailed on 17th Sep but we are still waiting for them.
Are they sent to applicants home or attorney's office?
Thanks in advance.

With due respect, Can you please tell me why it will fail?
Are you going to go there and ask for more visas or ask them to move the dates forward?

Sorry to hear about the denial bro. 3 yrs + PG Diploma stands no chance getting an EB2 approval regardless of your experience. It sucks bad but its the bitter truth. In my honest opinion please do not waste time and money on lawyers in continuing to pursue that case. You should be able to verify this in so many other threads discussing this topic from people's personal experiences.
Get your case started in EB3 category ASAP with right educational requirements and maintain a valid H1B!!
I feel for you man and good luck!!

When you transfer money outside the USA, one of the questions that FDIC mandates the finanacial institution collect is: SOURCE OF FUNDS. If you put this as "salary" then you (and your employer) have ALREADY paid (or will pay by next year) on these funds. There are no additional US taxes on the money. If the money was not earned thru salary (which would not be legal since you are on H1B) then you will need to declare it while filing taxes. If the money was NOT earned "under the table" and was above $600 then, the payer will send you a for called 1099 which will show how much you were paid and you have to pay appropriate taxes on that amount. In your case it most likely looks like "salary", so you have nothing to worry about.

And Code 1 means red alert uh
Code 1 = if you applied EAD only (Index Fingers + Photo)
Code 2 = if you applied I-485 only (All Fingers only - FBI Name Check)
Code 3 = if you applied I=485 + EAD
I may have code 1 & 2 reversed :-) But thats the overall concept...

Just to add -
If customer is from India/China/Mexico then they will receive the product in 10 years. Rest all can get it in 3/4 years.
If customer uses Master Card (EB-1) then they get it in 6 months, Discover (EB-2) in 1 year. Rest all will wait for a long time.
Their order goes in pending queue, if they do not receive the product within 1 year then they have to renew the order and customer will pay for this renewal.
9 YEARS AND COUNTING.........................
Users comments for the above post that I got. Now, why should I come here for HUMOR.
May be guys down there can give me answer who posted these comments for me.

Does anybody recall an old TV serial in India named 'Appu aur Pappu' about a boy and his elephant?! :D
Looks like the long GC wait is turning me into a crazy person if I start recalling such old serials! :(
I feel nice to have found my appu on this forum!!:D

I am not saying we shud do anything forcefully. I am saying, that if we have to show IV's face as being multicultural and since we Have members from all over the world sharing ideas on here anyways, might as well show the media that aspect.
In my opinion, if general public/law makers see faces from all over the world complaining about the GC system, it would have more impact.
If a core member/moderator can comment on this, that would be greatly appreciated.

Pagal,
My attorney too got a call onbehalf of my application yesterday ... the reason is
On the I-485, the question regarding any memberships or affiliations I had was left blank.
My PD is oct 18,2001 which will be current from April 1.
Im expecting that they are working on my case now :)
Hello Sleuths,
:) I appreciate your logical thinking and attention to detail! Yes, I've a worldwide roaming cell phone whose number is listed in Bay area, but I can receive calls wherever cellphone signal reaches.
I had included my cell phone number in my letters to IO earlier and he first called my office number and then tried my cell.

If so can we explore this option??
I agree with you. Why we don`t explore this option ???? USCIS make so many rule by itself then why they don`t make this rule to file 485 while PD is not current without going in Senate. Like they start premium processing of I-140. They make this rule without any bill in US Senate. correct me if I am wrong
I think, core team should look this option or ask us to find more information about it. I think, core team can meet with high official from USCIS.
what do you guys think about it ??
thx.

Did I mention EB cap in my earlier post? I mentioned CAP which does not conclude that it is EB cap. I went through the bill too.
A ha! Now I see where the misunderstanding lies. And I do apologize if you got offended.
As I wrote earlier my "bummer" post was specifically in response to your and whitecollarslave's posts about Masters in STEM. whitecollarslave's replied (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=231838&postcount=5) to your post asking "H-1B cap or EB green card cap?" And so I replied expressing my disappointment with the bill that Masters in STEM were exempt only from the H-1B cap.
You thought I was correcting you, but I really wasn't. It was my bad that I quoted your post in my response instead of quoting whitecollarslave's post. My apologies once again. Let's bury the hatchet.
Thanks,
Jayant

gc_chahiye, Thanks for your response. So, can I be on H1 with my current employer, A, and on EAD with my new employer, B, simultaneously?
Also, employer B might be able to start me on H1-B (my preference--just in case)--though as you said, B will have petition my new H1 for concurrent filing. My other option, of course, is to wait until Feb '08--though I'll miss out on a month's salary from B (not a biggie in order to not have any potential issues).
