IV now has clout which should be immediately used for a permanent fix. Two issues which might not require laws being passed can be implemented to ease the backlog situation that will be created.
1. Recapture lost Visa numbers- A just and reasonable demand that they cannot refuse.
2. Remove per country cap- It is stupid to look for diversity in a category based on intellect. The whole category is created for improving America's brain power so a country cap does not make sense.
Which is better to say" We want 10 people with OK intellect from 10 different countries of the world" or " We want 10 absolutely brilliant people-period"
Supporting argument:
There is no country cap on H1/L1 work visa then why there is country cap for permanent residents.

GCHPLC,
Do not delay, file a lawsuit. It's easier than you think and it will make the USCIS move.
Any questions, post here

I am married too, but i only said that there are other easier paths aswell.
Regarding working late, i am a fulltime employee with H1-B and never came to office before 10:00AM and stayed after 6:00PM and never ever worked weekends. Mine can be an exceptional case, but what iam saying is, your relationship with your manager is important. This can make a lot of difference in your lives.
As long as you deliver what is expected of you, you can even work 4 days a week and get paid for 40 hrs per week.
I don't know, if we are deviating from our main discussion agenda started by LogicLife.
--sri
I think we are deviating. But allow me to say this. The point that logiclife made VERY largely correct. The other point that you made just now is true as well. Your relationship with ur manager sort of defines how well you wud do. But then that makes ur h1b/Gc process "manager specific" ;). Plus you and I are lucky that we dont work long hours like some others, but the average H1B worker does. Like Logiclife said, it may not be coz the employer forces you to, but you do it anyway to make yourself more useful and avoid layoff issues. I am sure most of us at this stage are more worried about losing our jobs coz of H1/GC problems than actually finding jobs or having no savings.
Someone pointed up above that some say having a GC is better and some say having a Job is better. Here is what i think. If you have a GC atleast u can find another job even it takes 2-3 months. If ur on H1b you CANNOT. About the savings, well that is an individual thing. Some save more and enjoy a little less, some enjoy life more and save less.
About whether immigration is a right or a privilege. Right now i think it is more LUCK than either one.

This is good news..But the Damage is already been done..in the past.....
I guess DOL had some 300K cases pending when Backlog center started..It adjudicated some 150K till now.( Rough Estimate) and still 150 K left.
Even if considering 10000 Labors been substituted till now ...Imagine the wait period for rest of us. I wish this law was enacted, when they started Backlog centers..
Anyway..something is better than nothing....Hope for the Best...for new laws regarding SKIL,CIR Etc..atleast filing 485 when Visa numbers are not available..
--gcdedo
Good news indeed but not that good too, becuase the companies still have a chance to use up the labor in 45 days which is definitly possible.
Now we will be seeing many Labors filling before this becomes a law in March.

Just a 3 years in USA, getting a GC by porting into EB2 with a B.Com and some online degree!!!!!! What a pathetic situation for us!!!!!!!!!. Wake up USCIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Your comment is proof that even the best education money can buy does not make up for being short on common sense, decency and respect. Perhaps you should attempt another Masters, and shove it where the sun never shines. It's stunning, some of the "educated" prima donnas who make up this community.

Lets move on and focus on this main topic...
Here are my observations.. Correct me if I am wrong..
1. L1 option for IT is essentially killed
2. Small IT companies will limit the headcount to 50 per company. It doesn't cost much to have more than one company. So no major changes to H1B Desi companies.
3. Most of the big American companies will not offer new H1B with 180 days, since most of them would have had layoffs.
4. Most IT companies will start spending a lot on lawyers. So they will be rich. There will be lot of audits.
5. Companies will complete PERM and I140 before getting a guy onsite, only if people are really interested in coming to USA any longer.
6. Need more clarity on where H1B outsourcing will be stopped...

I have a thought! How about fund raising events....members with some talent can really help here...hold an event (such as a concert...i have heard of some talented classical singers or classical dance performers from India giving concerts for a fee of a few thousand dollars in university auditoriums or other cultural venues) with all proceeds going to IV, or sell some services (such as IT services, accounting services, or any other high-skill talent that might otherwise cost a lot), etc. Say, someone wants to sell something on eBay, how abolut selling it and donating the proceeds to eBay. This way, we might be able to contribute more funds by performing some activities that we already have the talent for.
come on people, among such qualified and educated folks as the members of this organization, can we not find some skill in us that can be used to raised some funds?
What do people think?

They moved from 8/1/2002 to 9/22/2002.
According to the I485 inventory they published, there is what.. 400 cases between these two date, why only move 400 cases per month = 4800 per year when the annual quota for EB3 ROW is what.. around 30,000?
Never mind the spillover, can ROW just get its normal quota at least?
Yeah, exactly, that's what I don't get either. We know it's not a huge amount of cases they've got in that time frame, so what is the slowdown. This is maddening.

You're right. No offence but no authority seems to be listening to IV suggestions. I agree that people at IV are doing great job, but the problem is nobody is listening. They just don't care. And this think will go on & on. I remember s'body suggesting hunger strike and at that point of time I thought that won't work. But now it seems we have to go extreme and do hunger strike and stuff to pressurize this crappy system.
EB3 people don't think I am being selfish here. The truth is we have to work unitely and pressurize for visa recapture. That will be beneficial for e'body.
Lets target the 'Asses' asking for a kick. Let's all kick ass.
I totally agree with you, I used to visit IV a lot, but was just disappointed with the results from some of its members. Not to blame IV core team, but other members who would just come and read blogs. Specially EAD holder's, I hope their eyes are opening up to new realities. Yesterday, my sister in law entered USA from Newark Airport and she witnessed three people holding HIB visas get cancelled at the immigration point, one had EAD.
All we Desi's want is a free ride, same old mentality, don't want to put in any diligence in this matter, but very quick on pointing short comings on others. Blame game!
Point is, we all need to do something radical, sending flowers again and holding a hunger strike, otherwise, keep coming to IV and keep getting disappointed.
Papu, maybe you can hold something up for once. Schedule a date for some event.

I am going to send $100 check to IV this time. Last time I paid $100 through Paypal.
For every dollar we donate through Paypal, 3% service fee will be deducted and only 97 cents go to IV. It will be substancial amount if all donations come in this way.

Zoooom & Anzerraja:
The core membership may be modest and may not want to speak out much on this issue. It becomes our prerogative to drive this.
Lets do this. Zooom do you mind opening a separate thread, "Reimburse past expenses to Aman & other IV Core members" or something like that. Please post a message asking people to "pledge" an amount towards that effort. Can you two drive this effort. I am also available for assistance.
We will update members who pledge how to finalize their pledge by any of the following methods based on subsequent expert advice:
1) Should they contribute to IV directly
2) Send a personal check to Aman.
3) Other method like IV reimbursing Aman and others from the common donation corpus.
Hi Everybody it is a great idea to reimburse aman. Absolutely we have to do it through IV. it is not good idea giving personal checks. what happens when Aman submits his federal taxes. he has to mention everything about the money trail. In America everything should be trailable especially money matters.
giving money through IV is safe for him and for everybody and there is an accountablity everywhere. As a core member he can collect his administrative costs.
So whatever the pledge amouts we are doing should be sent to IV then to Aman.
Any suggestions......
