Yes, Very well said Mr. Singh.
The commentator mentioned that he lives in Omaha (I am not sure if that is Iowa - what Tejvir referred to in his speech - or Nebraska).
Have we initiated contact with Tejvir Singh; is he a member of our forums?

I am going to file my h1 application tomorrow under the master's qouta. I know its nearly impossible that my petition would be approved but I have no other choice. I just have one question:
1. Should I go for a premium processing?
<<My OPT expires may 15th and my employer is still willing to file my h1 tomorrow. If I go for premium processing, that will atleast stop me from getting an admit into a community college this fall to maintain my status>>
Advice please. Also there is no way they will increase the h1b on the master's qouta, right ?
I think you need to wait until USCIS finish they Lottery/Sorting process.
At this moment they won't accept your application.
Please contact your Lawyer for accurate information

Although it may sound ridiculous but why is everyone want to put any limits to it. If proper controls can be put in place that there are genuine jobs and candidates are genuine then there shouldn't be any limits. How come no one wants to go for this solution. It actually makes more sense then just increasing the quota or not including dependents, etc.
No cap would be the best solution... but that is very tough to sell in Washington....That's why all this complications of asking to take dependents out of the cap and allowing overflow to go to China/India...
As I understand, IV already made these arguments to senators and even the senators who are sympathetic to immigration are not willing to remove the cap..The only thing they would accept is that the overflow would go to India/China/oversubscribed countries....I wonder if one of the core members would comment on this.....You do not need to name names....Just a request give a description of your interactions with law makers in this regard...That would put this issue to rest.....
theortically what longg says is correct.The system is not fair......but not many are listening to us at this point...So we have to find some way out of the situation.....
We need both alisa and longg as members because we need more to get traction in Washington.....the only common solution for these would be to get the numbers increased somehow....Otherwise EB3-EB3-India-China-ROW keep fighting each other...you would have nothing....

You have a life to live, right? So, don't spend time explaning or convincing someone who don't want to believe you, it is a waste of your valuable time. I really appreciate you taking your time to let us know the facts(I hope not). Thanks.I sent it to Nebraska and it reache on July 3rd 2007 and it was trnasferred to Texas. I am not sure what's there in my profile, I just entered the dates when it didn't let me login to the site. It did not let login even if I didn't enter an RFE date and I had to enter some date. My I-140 was approved from Texas. One more thing, when I e-Filed for EAD and AP this year, it went to Texas, though IO gave a Midwest address which falls under Nebraska, I don't know why and I was surprised and happy too as Texas was approving the applications very fast, but mine is not yet approved (Applied on 29th June).
It is already 6:15 PM and I have to go home, if I don't answer any more don't think I am hiding. I have a life to live and don't be so negative buddies. Every body will ge their Greencard and it is just time.
I have been living in US nearly for 10 years all the time in B1, L1 and H1 visas.
People might start asking, how come you have a 2006 priority date? One employer had applied in 2004 and was in PBEC and did not get approved untill 2007 July, meanwhile I had applied another in EB2 through another employer and got Labor approved in Septmeber 2006 (less than a month) and I-140 approved (Premium) in November. After that I got three years H1 through new employer and moved to this company on 11th June 2007 Luckily everything was made current on July 13th and mailed my I-485 application on July 2nd (Just before they officially announced that visas were unavailable) and it reached on July 3rd. Again don't ask me how could I apply in EB2, when I did not do Masters in US. I have Masters from India and also had Five years of experience even before 2004, by then I was in US for more than 5 years. Also, when my employer applied Labor in 2004, I was just Five days away from my 5th year ending on L1/H1.
One more thing I bought a home in 2005 when my labor was pending some where, may be in Local Labor Department or PBEC or somewhere inbetween, and have been living happily. I am also worried about the GC but not paranoid about it.
Many guys here worry too much, just relax and live a peaqceful life. Jus think this, we are highly educated and would defintely be able to make a living anywhere in the world, not just US. Don't worry tooo much and think others have no work and want to fool you guys.
Just my 2 cents......

The aim of this appeal is not to compare or compete with EB1, PhDs, US MS degree holders or discuss other exotic bills!
There are several hundred EB2 / EB3 folks who have continued to live here for several years (many have crossed 10 years). They are stuck in the infinitely long GC line, for no fault of theirs. It is natural that people who have stayed for long have grown up children (who are not US born) and who need to go to a good college for a good future.
It is almost impossible to pay international fees and it is neither fair no appropriate to break the back of genuine law abiding residents, despite the fact that they have lived for
8 / 10 years and have sincerely paid the taxes due to the government, just because they do not have a GC.
For the "sin" of being Indian/ Chinese born and for the "sin" of not being able to get the GC because the rules favour long term indentured labour, an entire upcoming yonger generation should not be allowed to suffer. This is unfair and discriminatory. If any one of us had been from a country other than India and China, we would have obtained out GCs in 3 / 4 years.
The idea is to have the cases of all genuine, hard working, EB2 / EB3 employees who have honestly lived here and are continuing to process the path ot GC legally, be considered from the human angle, more so from the point of view of the education of the children.
When it comes to illegals, people scream about human values, humanitarian considerations, education of their children, family ties etc etc. What about us, who have followed the rules "to the T" ????
Is following the rules, going through the approval complex web of approval processes, paying taxes and trying to lead sedate and simple lives a sin?
Are we not human beings? May be we are labelled "aliens" but we are certainly not from Mars!
So friends, let us be clear in where we stand and what we are pleading for.
Unless we have the conviction and clarity we cannot make any progess!
Long live the unity of EB 2 / EB3 employees!
May the SUPREME POWER bless IV and the genuine forum members!

I would suggest you ask your father to file a writ petition in High Court or Lower Court , my husband did the same for a minor change in his father's middle name.I presume you are indian and Indian authorities have not changed they require a beat down in court then only they work that's my firm belief. In our case it was a simple case my father in laws middle name was misspelt, we had all the evidence they required
school leaving,college leaving,birth certificate,PAN card.
Passport of my father in law where my husband travelled as minor.
Plus we got a letter from District Magistrate/Collector
But still Washington embassy would not budge or entertain our application saying this mistake was not by them and i approach passport authorities in india who had done this .
Finally my husband had enough and my father in law filed a petition in Lower court ,it took a couple of months to get the facts straight ,but it was quicker than we expected. Got a court order attched to application got the correction done.
the problem is we dont approach the law thinking it is headache but the fact is that the issues was not corrected at the right time so we will have get the facts verified by someone credible and who better than law to verify.
And the plus is that no one can refuse your appication and give u the run around ( that you are facing now get this doc get that doc)
as if the consulate does not follow the order it is contempt of court or they can file an appeal against the order . My suggestion would be to go thru courts because the procedures for changes are not crystal clear
but my case is different as i dont have any spe;lings or wrong name.
i need my name to be split in to first name and last name.

I am not trying to question the dedication of the folks here, but I have not see any plans or goals set for this year.Is this because of election year?
The site has become one more forum site to discuss personal issues and to vent out our immigration frustrations.We seem to be losing momentum on the larger effort of Visa Recapture or even looking forward for any new bills? Well even if we consider that there would be a change in white house, doesnt the senate and house still be intact with the members.
Does IV work with CompeteAmerica or any Lobbying group which could help us with direction?
Just my thoughts for the day.

My case has some similarities, except marrying an American and divorce, but I was out of status for a long time and I thought there was no hope at all. One of my former clients offered me a job and sponsored my h1 of course. I went home and have my new h1 stamped and came back. I was out of status probably for more than two years. Now, I just got my receipt for July 2 485 application. My PD is April 2006. I'm read people are talking here that when you re-enter on a new h1, your previous out of status "status" will be irrelevant.
My opinion is that you should be fine. Just make sure that you've nailed everything down correctly on your G-325A.

I was wondering why is it that you have so many red dots and so disliked in IV and your response below answers that question. You are a mischief monger who want to mislead people. The issue was never about which is better eb1 or eb2 or eb3, the answer is eb1 is better than eb2 and eb2 is better than eb3. The issue is how easy is it to port to eb2, infact if porting to eb2 was that easy everybody would have already done that. nobody is sponsoring green cards in this economy not even eb3 forget about eb2, not even desi companies are sponsoring eb3 perm petitions. In this age when there are reports that USCIS is sending out invistigators to look into even ac21 cases you are misleading people into porting from eb3 to eb2. Forget about porting as no one is even sponsoring eb3 perm.
As slim a chance as it is, visa recapture or some administrative fix like a remporary green card or relaxation of ac21 regulations like same semilar job restrictions is our best bet.
Eb2 will be better most of the time because many will not be eligible or Job position does not need Masters or 5 years of experience. So it will move fast though it may go back on october. So if possible try to port into EB2 will always be a good idea. CIR or Visa capture bill may not be possible atleast for an year or more. EB1 and EB2 are best bet for next 1 to 2 years.
Dream on about porting from Eb3 to EB2. On an average it is taking more 9 months to get labor clearence that too if it is eb3. if you are trying eb2 that is almost a definite audit. We have a case in our company which was stuck in audit (eb2) for more than an year now. our company and attorney are no longer filing eb2 (offcourse it is a different matter than they are no longer filing any green card application because of layoffs). So unless you are working for a desi "con"sultant company not many american companies (almosy none) are filing eb3 green card perm applications leave alone eb3 to eb2 conversions. Even desi companies are scared shit because USCIS is knocking the living daylights out of them. Even desi companies are scared of filing eb3 green card perm applications leave alone eb2. So good luck with your eb3 to eb2 dream.

Those who came between 2000 and 2005 are not getting GC approved , because of some loop holes , those who came in 2007 are getting 485 approved. Is it not unjustince to people who applied earlier? This issue is not similar from EB3 to EB2 etc.
I hope IV will bring this to the notice of USCIS ASAP.
When did you come to US my friend ? did you ever were in the posts and discussions that went through all the years reg SUBS ? Atleast search on internet you will see whether is idea is BRAND new or old enough ?
How can you think of USCIS going back to something that doesnt exist any more (Fraud is diff story) , Admin Fix is for something that is existing, and in hands of USCIS. per law ppl ported dates and it is valid at that time.. Per law ppl can still port dates from EB3 to EB2 or earlier dates in the same category. Admin Fix cant back date the LAW. Simple common sense. You can keep clogging ... Instead we can work on the same energy for Recap.
Are you going to followup with USCIS that It shouldnt let ppl port from EB3 to EB2? L1,L2 Getting quickly ? I dont want to waste my time on EB3 Vs EB2 Vs EB1 Vs L1 Vs L2.. Lets aim at one thing that helps all and its a jackpot that is achievable for us...

As I posted on another thread, I do not believe that all those old approvals are due to sub labor.
A large part is related to FBI name check; remember, they just cleared a lot of name check cases...Not necessarily a bad thing, but we always feared as to how big is that number and it is still early to see the full impact of "clearing of that backlog>"

Hello everybody,
I am a new member; just joined 59secs ago. I read some of the posts and know that there are some Singaporeans in this thread who have applied for the H1B1 visa under the US-Singapore Free Trade Agreement. Questions:
1. How long does the process of applying for the USSFTA H1-B1 take?
2. Where is the best place to apply for the USSFTA H1-B1 visa?
Please advise especially if you have already done it. I am about to start the process. Any advice is highly appreciated.
Cheers!!
