More education generally does mean more skill. It does not always mean more pay, but this country has decided to use education and work experience as the criterion for EB category allocation.
You have put this in the best possible way. My allegiance to EB2 as I got my MS degree from US in Tech Major.

I am one of the several may be thousand who have been affected. I am not using this for my slefish purposes. I am trying to get the suppoprt of IV and its members for this cause. I am not disagreeing with IV in any way.
This is an agenda for a common cause for all affected people and I want everyone to support.
Someone has to sow the seed and start the process. Doesn't mean since I started the thread it is my selfish agenda. It is part of IV's goal to get justice for all people who are affected by any immigration issue. So IV is the right forum to raise this issue.
1000 people * $20 each = $20 K. So that is not an impossibility.
If you have the will you have the way.

Consider my case:
Myself: MS In Electrical Engineering - Been on a H1-B sponsored job with Fortune 100 companies for the last 6 years.
Spouse: MD Medicine - Initially on H4 for 2 years, now on a H1-B sponsored residency with a prominent healthcare institution.
I fully agree, H4s should prove their worth, and that is why I never ever let the feeling settle in my spouse's mind, that, that GC was going to just drop from the sky one day for her...
In short, both of us have proved their worth and are on H1s.
Here's where the unfairness of the H4 system kicks in for us. The time spent on the H4 is counted towards the initial 6 year period. By the time she would be done with her residency, she would have exhausted most of that 6 year time. LC cannot be filed for resident doctors, while they are residents.
Result: When she becomes a doctor, her time has run out - technically she needs to be out of USA for 1 year, before considering a re-entry (unfair by all means).
Only solution to this problem:
1. Either the laws change to decouple H4 time with H1 (which I think, is the biggest unfairness of the H4 visa, especially due to the retrogression wait times)
2. I get to file I-485, which I currently cannot because of retrogression. I have an approved LC & I-140 with a PD of early 06. If retrogression gets worse, who knows, even EB2 could retorgress to more than 3 years...

May I ask where you got the 90K number from? I saw "12K unused last year" floating around.
Please don't shoot me for these thoughts, but please consider it only for sake of discussion.
Now that CIR is defeated again for nth time, We really need to consider rethinking about our stratergy,
I guess we are about 15K membership and if we include spouse and take a guess every one in five has dependent kid to join (wild gusstimate) we come close 35-40K approximately.
most of us are legal and we should not having any issue in getting Green card with current law only if backlog is cleared and we recapture visa numbers.
to recapture visa numbers we don't need any legislative reform AC-21 does apply,
We need to spend more energy in researching possibility of recapturing 90K visas and we will be done,
I really don't think we have strength and will power to fight legislation change along with illegals for most controversial subject.
we are legals letz use it our advantage.
I did belive in piggy back ride along with illegals, but I don't any more,

I was wondering if IV core had some time to analyze this bill and summarize it for their members like the previous version of this bill. Would appreciate a quick summary of this bill with Pros/Cons in this bill for our community.
Can somebody pls do this? The main thing that I am wondering is that if you cannot place consultants on client site on H1B then what will happen to them? How will big consulting companies(the likes of Wipro, Satyam) survive?
Any ammendment on this?

Credit cards are issued mostly to GC holders only unless they have a checking account as well with the institution-unless one lies in the application. You are also presuming a 100% credit worthiness and sign up rate - extremely optimistic. This would work when IV is about a million strong and if people like you and me become 'resident' aliens - and dont turn our backs on those behind us.
Many banks in the US will not allow you to add additional accounts like CD account etc ONLINE unless you are a GC holder or a citizen. They ask you to go to a branch to open an account. This is even when YOU are an account holder with the bank for a number of years.
One way of supporting IV and feeling good is to buy some IV merchandise.

Look at the unity in our diversity...for a moment while reading some of the comments I forgot I was in the US and looking at an supposedly elite forum...Bravo!! Keep it up Indians (Tamilians, Gujaratis, Marathis, Bengalis, Biharis, etc..)
One more thing, if you are upset with a person who misbehaved with you (in this case, rudely told you he didn't know any language other than Hindi), then logic tells me I should be upset with that person and not the reason (in this case, language) itself.
I belong to a Hindi speaking part of India, and I have lived in Pune, Bangalore, and Hyderabad. I've had people tell me very rudely to talk in the native languages of these areas and I've tried, sometimes successfully and sometimes, not so much. The rudeness of a few members of the community never led me to form a general opinion. I've very close friends from all over India.
It is my opinion that one should try to learn the local language. It bodes well for everybody and makes life easier. As matured people that we are, I think this is a very trivial issue to fight among ourselves or get emotional.
I never knew Hindi is a local language in US:D Moreover I dont have anything against Hindi or any other language. Its the personal experience with people on more than one occasion.

stucklabor,
I hope you are right and I am wrong. So, "special handling"
cases do not go through labor certification at all. Do professors have to go through "special handling" labor certification?
If you are right then it means that an advanced degree holder in STEM from a US school with 3 years of prior US experience will be able to apply for I-140 and I-485 right away.
Thanks for clarifying.
Your interpretation is incorrect. An advanced degree holder from the US will not need labor certification. Please go through my and Appu's reasoning in earlier posts on this thread to understand why.
Per Frist's bill, an advanced degree holder in STEM with 3 years experience will be subject to special handling in labor cert. Your (iii) refers to this person. This person is not subject to the numerical quota.
An advanced STEM degree holder from the US does not need labor cert. This is because notwithstanding the applicant's admissiblity for permanent residence, the applicant can file for adjustment of status as long as he has an immigrant petition. "Applicant's admissibility for permanent residency" refers to labor cert for EB 2/3 workers - see section 212 of INA. So irrespective of labor cert, the advanced STEM degree holder from the US can file for Adjustment of Status and I140. However, this person is subject to numerical quota and has to wait for a green card number for 485 approval.
Put both the above paragraphs together - the advanced STEM degree holder from the US with 3 years experience has the best of both worlds - no labor cert, no quota, can file for I140 and I48.

Buddy...take it easy on yourself. I can feel your pain, waiting for almost 10 yrs now...still no sign that this wait will end anytime soon.
But rather than blaming the system and whining, i keep myself content with the fact that no one is forcing me to stay in this country- it's my own choice that i want to continue taking their bullsh*t.
be happy u got ur EAD - 50 days since i applied...still no sign.
I never imagined that the journey to GC would be such hard, and I have to give my whole life following these notices and EADs and what not. USCIS cannot approve my GC for years and years but now abrubptly they approved my EAD in less than 15 days, when I was expecting to get 2 years extension. My EAD app. was sent out on june 9th and my lawyer told me that they saw approval from yesterday 6/26 (wow 16 days including shipping!!!). USCIS always has hidden agenda, and everybody can tell that it is just money, which leads to such decisions. No body would forget last years july fiasco when they hushed up GC visa numbers for rendering people not to apply before fee hike. The present EAD issues everyone is reporting here is another fiasco. I wonder if there would be barrage of lawsuits for EAD fiasco as we saw last year for july fiasco. Now I understand why USCIS gave themselves time till 30th june, otherwise why wouldn't they make 2 year EADs effective right from the day of announcement in early week of june. Smart move!
Oh well this is what we have to face till we get that "Gone Card"! Day by day my patience is losing. Is it worth all this trouble?

Fragomen has been great for me
First of all, they are arrogant and they dont understand the needs of the Client/Candidate. Most of the BIG FIRMS use Fragomen. LSI LOGIC, IBM (to name a few) used but eventually LSI LOGIC stopped services with FRAGOMEN.
Because of FRAGOMEN, I dont have EAD inspite of Earlier PD MAR 2005.
1. My Job requires BS + 5 yrs. They had to file in Eb2 but in March 2005, they told me lets file an EB3(since my 5th year was ending in couple of months) and once they are familiar they can file EB2.
2. When i asked them after an year to file in EB2, they told me that i cannot do because i am on 7th year extension. (all most all companies have done that).
3. After that in OCTOBER 2006, i asked to convert my eb3 from NON-RIR to RIR, they took almost 5 months and finally filed on the last day for RIR conversion and by that time BEC stopped processing RIR and started all NON-RIR cases and my labor was not cleared before AUG 17.
4. After that labor was cleared, they took 2 months to file my I-140. They received my papers and i had to literally bang at them to get my I-140 filed.
After all these, they give ask me to give a feedback. i screwed them up and informed my CEO and CFO about the Attitude of Fragomen.

I think we should write in only one thread about this VB mess until it is over. New users like me are getting hard time to find out the latest development of the VB issue. Either we should start a new thread or stick with only one. regardless of the subject/issue, we should post all our message into one single thread so that every one is on the same page.

There are total 27 EB3-I approvals on since Oct'2008. In 6 months, only 27 approvals is not a good number.
Does anybody know why USCIS is not touching EB3-I aggressively and are we close to using all EB3-I for this year already?
Thanks.
Yes 27 EB3-I approvals seems pretty low. Hopefully DOS would move EB3-I cut off date in May.
