I am sorry you feel like that about IV core. I am not a CORE member so I can't speak for them but if you have spent a basic amount of time following and more importantly taking part in IV initiatives you would not have "decided" that IV is promoting "EB2" agenda simply because there is no such agenda.
I am sure you noticed this but if not, this is a free speech and membership forum and IV is not made up by pappu or paskal but each and every one who tries to make some difference by participating in the action items.
If you think that there needs to be IV initiatives that better suit your needs, you know what...lead it...set up action items....organize like minded folks. IV is setup for that. It is easy to just point fingers and put out statements based on your negative perception, if you really feel so bad about this phantom EB2 agenda, how about doing something constructive through IV.
Yes, what I posted was meant to be hard,
ask a EB3 person if he was happy when EB3 was available and Eb2 was not.
Did any one try to justify the reason why EB2 was UNAVAILABLE? No.
Did anyone here feel unhappy that EB2 moved so nicely? No.
Then why are we not seeing a single post from anyone which says we as aspiring immigrants are not being failrly dealt with when EB3 did not move with EB2.
Instead we see posts about why EB3 is not moving and explanation of reasons behind it.
Is there a hidden agenda here, NO. Not from IV, am i trying to prove something like that? I dont think so.

I have been member of IV since Dec 05. Probably since a couple of weeks after it was founded.
I fully agree with Logiclife . All these people can't be termed anything else . "Cowards" correctly describes them.
I see people all the time worrying about their receipt notices, fingerprinting , india trip, stamping , I-94 , EAD , AC - 21 etc etc etc .. it makes me sick. No one contributes ( except a few 1 % ) . Even if 10% of the people contributed either financially or doing volunteer work we would make a worthwhile difference .
I don't much care about GC but seeing these people it seems like if they got a GC they will get a magic wand and somehow it will be the end of all that is wrong with their lives.
Guys sitting at the fences and lurking in shadows - GC is not the cause of whatever is wrong with your life.. you are . You remain what you are with or without GC.
But for the rest of us lets not lose hope on these guys. Lets do what we can and be patient. We should do our best and hope for the best.
GO IV !!!!!!

Ok the bill is on THOMAS.
Here's the link to the bill
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/D?d109:23:./temp/~bd2vNO::|/bss/d109query.html|
It's already been referred to the House Judiciary. Since it had to do with Competitiveness i'd rather much rather see it in the House Energy and Commerce or House Science Committee. Despite all their talk of 'welcoming legals, and pro-immigrant, anti-illegal immigrant" pronouncements, they haven't done much to help legals in the Judiciary Committee.
logiclife: thanks for setting up the webfax. Appreciate all the work you guys are doing.
Btw, in the senate skil bill (s 2691) i see a new co-sponsor added, TX Sen Hutchinson. Can you set up the Webfax in a way that we can email our Senators/Congressmen to request they co-sponsor their chamber's respective versions of this legislation? Thank1

Good to see and hear about the pros and cons of Logiclife's post. Both sides are valid and rightful in their own way...
However there are goals that need to be achieved for this grassroots organization and it is just not viable for just a few dedicated people to achieve it. Is it wrong on their part to appeal/call out for help? By the way this is not for the benefit of just a few people. Whoever comes to this website will be benefited by the outcome of the efforts.
No one is demanding anyone to just volunteer. Logiclife's post might have shown emotion and for members like Ram (with all due respect) it might have seemed unprofessional....but this is not a corporation which is run on a profit/loss basis. It is a people's organization solely to benefit the members. Emotion and dedication are a major part of its survival. I am not a leader but I do my minimum.
1. Contribute financially.
2. Spread awareness among friends and acquaintances in similar position.
I respect all the people who responded because I am sure they might have contributed in some way. For the others, please do more than visit the site for just updates.

There is a largish I140 backlog today.
There you go. Fantastic factor. People rotting in I140 would indirectly helping to I-140 approved ones.Technically say for an example 40000 EB3-I are stuck in I-140.. they will simply be not considered in 485 queue so USCIS will not see them in "Demand Queue" and that also pushes USCIS to forward dates. Now I-140 stuck , though his date date is current can't do anything except getting frustration.

This sort of response is not surprising at all to me. I sent individual emails to at least twenty members from my state to try and galvanize some action and did not receive one single reply.
There are four of us who seem to be keen to try to get something moving but that seems to be a bit lame when we can only muster four people from an entire state.

I called an hour ago. The lady said the phones are ringing like crazy for these bills. She was nice to take down the bill numbers, my name, and phone number. I asked her the tipping point when these things get noticed and if we are any close to the number of phone calls. The lady said, call volume is good and it will only help if your community makes more calls.

Nice Post hydboy!! Quick question though, Would you have put the same argument if you have not filed your EAD during july 2007? Guess not..Let us stop this..now.I agree with what you are saying,by the way.
I hear some people saying childish things like hijacking this thread if anybody says anything different from what they say. What do you prefer, should I open another thread with title "oppose prefiling AOS", nobody wins neither will I or you when somebody does that. Please tolerate others views then they will tolerate yours.
Without strengthening AC21 if you allow everyone to file AOS then anti eb folks like Grassley, Sanders, Sessions, Durbin will move from targeting H1b to targeting EAD. It takes 6 months to get Perm approval, with pre filing AOS everyone can get EAD in 6 months, anti eb folks and USCIS know that people will be jumping to EAD to escape H1 crackdown, what do you think they will do, they will add amendments and Bills to put restrictions on hiring EAD just like they put restrictions on hiring H1b. We cannot make EAD into another H1b like hell.
Prefiling should be done to give relief to people who missed July fiasco only after
1. Remove\dilute same similar job requirement
2. Make sure EAD is extended without any rfe. USCIS will invent thousand things to issue rfe, EAD should be in a different league to h1 and it should not turn into another h1 where you are slapped with rfe left right and center. Example Pay stub rfe, ability to pay rfe, customer Purchase order RFE etc etc etc, Green card holders don�t have any problem working in these same jobs so why should EAD people face this nonsense (otherwise it is just like h1). Before people complain this will become like a green card, lets me answer in advance, if a person from ROW can get his green card within 12 months of coming to US, why cannot people from India\china who have worked in US for the last 5 to 10 years get the above mentioned relief on EAD. EAD should be superior to h1.the only restriction should be you should work in the same field, i.e. if your labor certification is for Software engineer, programmer analyst etc , then you work in a software related job and cannot become a greeter in walmart :-)
Without strengthening EAD\AC21 with the above mentioned items you are turning EAD into just another h1.If we push for prefiling AOS without strengthening Ac21 it is a big disadvantage and slap on the face for all the people with older priority date. Because of July fiasco when everybody got current and filed for AOS, USCIS issued GC to people from 2006 leaving behind people from 2003, 04 and 05. USCIS should have gradually moved the dates from 2003 to 04 to 05 that way people with older PD would have got it first. With prefiling AOS it will become a lottery like in August 2008 where 2006 PD got GC over 03,04 and 05 in eb2. Safeguards have to be put in place for order of priority date otherwise USCIS will indulge in this lottery mode and excuse there behavior by claiming they did this to save visa wastage.

The cutoff dates are listed for individual countries only if they make up more than 7% of total visas for that year. In case of rest of the world the numbers are not impacted by per country limits so they are not listed separately. So all these applications are part of the same pool and not as retrogressed as the listed countries.

Guys, temper your expectations. Cust Service Rep at USCIS are not trained to answer the questions that pertain to things like visa bulletin's effective date and whether or not they will accept the ones or reject the ones on July 2.
Cust Service Rep is for general information for those who cant or wont use the USCIS website and other sources of information on the internet. Or for those who dont speak English.
Cust Service is not intended to provide complex answers. Last I heard, even the Vermont service center folks didnt know about bulletin revision and they were turning down 3-year extension requests for H1 visas thinking that the bulletin is current until confronted by lawyers who said that bulletin is unavailable and now there is reason to give out 3 year extensions instead of 1 year extensions.
If Vermont service center was unaware of visa bulletin revision, then what do you expect from a Cust Service Rep who is trained to answer questions that cover information that can be fit in 20 pages ??????
