Good that some parts of main stream media are tracking issues on EB green cards.
I don't want to raise/discourage everyone's hopes, but the post is relying on a leader, who lost count to this houses & has the track record of flip-flopping a lot about number of issues & who is hated among veterans even though he himself is a veteran.
However this gives a great opportunity to IVians, with respect to making EB issue visible to MSM (MainStream Media); Pretty soon there will be a debate between Sen Obama & Sen McCain; Similar to party debates, I guess there will be youtube videos, with polling involved. If we work towards pushing the issue towards debate (by creating & voting on these videos), then candidates & parties may start taking serious look at it and we may see light at the end of the tunnel (hopefully not an incoming train).

I know you have been correct in the past but I think we have just gotten over the hump of 2003 and a small portion of 2004 for EB2. The majority of 2004 and early 2005 still remains. There was a huge jump in March 2005 to beat PERM. I dont understand how it will reach 2007
Here are all the LC approvals for India in the last seven years.
Year, Total LC Approved, Total India
2007 85112 24573
2006 79782 22298
2005 6133 1350
2004 43582 No Info
2003 62912 No Info
2002 79784 No Info
2001 77921 No Info
2000 70204 No Info
Based on the labor approvals, I am expecting EB2 will touch 2007 in the next 3 to 5 visa bulletins. Since, till late 2005 EB2 is current only. Say there are about 10 thousand back log EB2s and they need 10thousand *2.5 visas= 25 thousand visas.Because in 2006, 22298 labors been approved, say half of that means 10 thousand are EB2 and 10 thousand *2.5= 25,000 visas are neaded to clear offf all 2006. So to clear all EB2s till 2006 Dec theres a need of 50k visas. But due to the spillovers we are getting 50k visas in 2008 fiscal year itself. So for the year starting with 2009 theres a strong possibility of EB2 PD to move to 2007. And before and after PERM there are very few applied for Labors. The above data itself showing the less numbers after PERM implemented.

I am currently on H1 and plan to get married in India next month and file 485 for me and wife next month. She will be able to travel with me on H4. If she starts using EAD after getting it, does that invalidate my H1? I plan to continue with the same employer on H1.

Excellent news!!
I am real optimistic that introduction of a separate bill (SKIL)will definitely make its way through. Passage of CIR is primarily restricted because of illegal issues. I hope the house and senate look at the passage of SKIL Bill as a critical step (even if some don't like it).
Wait until they start getting to the details before being optimistic.
By the way, how long does it take for a bill to get debated and voted on from the time it is introduced? Months? Years??

Agree..
Only people with PDs before 2005 know the pain of wait at backlog centers,
If there was no PERM...lot of EB2 guys (including those who oppose porting) with priority 2005 and later would have missed window of July 2007
Porting process is a legit process and for well qualified EB-3 india folks thats the only ray of Hope.
You can rant about it but noone going to stop the porting process becaue the folks who initially filed under EB-3 are now eligible to get Job promotions , new roles and responsibilities in their Career and in some cases new Sr. Job positions which are qualified EB-2. By the way they do file new PERM labor and new I-140, it is not a automatic qualification just based on number of years waiting in the endless EB-3 india queue.
Under the current circumstances where EB-3 india doesnt get any spillover numbers or any such relief like VISA recapture bill, do you expect them to go behind the lines with new EB-2 PD? What about the wait period in the backlog centres, in the PERM process and for few I140 stage waiting period? Its the law and people are following it. You can try porting to EB1 if you are qualified enough and port your EB-2 PD to EB-1.
Just because you are qualified initially for EB-2 doesnt mean others are inferior and they are not eligible to port to EB-2.

Not from last nights interview, but in primaries season during Politico's live interview on CNN Obama said this about legal immigration:
"It is important that we fix the legal immigration system, because right now we've got a backlog that means years for people to apply legally. What's worse is, we keep on increasing the fees, so that if you've got a hard working immigrant family, they've got to hire a lawyer; they've got to pay thousands of dollars in fees. They just can't afford it. It's discriminatory against people who have good character, but don't have the money. We've got to fix that. "
I know that's what he said but if you read that statement again, nowhere he talks about Highly skilled legal immigration. I think he is talking about the family based immigration, which again caters mostly to the Vote bank. From everything I have read, Obama seems to be anti-outsourcing and neutral (or maybe negative) towards highly skilled legal immigration

Hey guys
Just received email from CRIS regarding I-485 denial notice for both me and my wife.
I used AC21 after 9 months of filing I-485. My I-140 was approved before even filing I-485 in July fiasco.
My attorney promptly sent AC-21 and G-28 and i did see LUD on my and my wife's I-485 after that.
My previous company informed me sometime ago that they are going to revoke I-140 and probably they did and i am assuming that's what triggered this.
This is certainly a big damm mistake they did even after sending AC-21 docs and G-28.
Uh-oh! Sorry to hear that. But please keep the hope - it may not be all over yet.
Aren't they required to issue an NOID (Notice of Intent to Deny)...check this out under

in addition to the house republican leadership (Hastert, Boehner) and a couple other influential ones on immigration such as rep Sensenbrenner.
Majority of these sponsoring congressmen have a green (anti-immigration) rating, some of them having a green-red (mixed) rating. However, they're mostly red (pro-immigration) when it comes to h1-b or related skilled worker bills (this even includes sensenbrenner's votes!)..
I did all this search out of boredom, but more importantly to assuage my sinking heart. So it looks like with the sponsorship of 10 pro-skilled immigration republicans, and at least not-against-skilled immigration republican leadership, this represents a good sample of republican votes for the passage.
Question remains how and when this bill will make it to the congressional agenda now that the summer is here already.
I keep my fingers crossed.

Last few lines of this artice is clear about Senate mood. Even IV wants to lobby sepeately for gc numbers IV has to come up with reasonable numbers based on requirement. Arbitary numbers or blanket exemptions will have more chance for failure.
But unless they can prove that they system is not currently being abused, and unless they can come up with specific figures for the number of visas required, they will have a hard time persuading lawmakers that the cap needs to be raised beyond the current proposal of 115,000.
http://www.forbes.com/opinions/2007/05/21/outsourcing-immigration-congress-oped-cx_bw_0523legislate.html
What you are saying is a high level picture of what the lawmakers think.
Instead of asking reasonable numbers asking for no cap.
True that the tech companies are not comming up with a cap because they believe by saying this, they might be restricted for many years to bring in extra people if they have an opening.
Before dot com bust even lot of US citizens welcomed H1b persons as there was not much layoffs. But past 7 years layoffs increased to outsource to India,China and other countries. For that they have to hire H1b and L1 persons from Countries mainly India. Those things made anti immigrants hardened their stand. US workers fear that they may lose job if US opens up immigration too much.
How did the anti-immigrants get a upper hand on this. They are allowing illegals to get an easy path to citizenship.. this will cause a huge influx of people who will benefit the economy but down the line their children will take up the jobs of the americans.. so why a benefit to illegals.
Now you would say that there are so many companies lobbying for the illegals,
true but why don't they listen to the tech lobbyist who are few in number but asking what is actually,legally, abide rulles ly necessary to increase the economy.

My suggestion would be.
If your PD is After Jan 2004, you better get started and look for a position in EB2. If your PD is before Jan 2004, you wait and watch until end of this year and then make a informed decision. But in the long run , it makes lot of sense to be in EB2 if your job requirement is eligible for it.
Also take a look at the trend of the PERM processing. as per 2007 stats 40% of the cases got struck in audit process.

It seems to be doing more harm than good.
if the movers of this thread have no objection i would like to close it.
i hope though in the meanwhile we can turn the discussion to more productive directions. there is much to be done yet.
