That is correct. Section 312, 501, 502, 503 are the sections in this bill that we are pursuing in Comprehensive immig bill. The bigger task is to introduce the bill in House with the same provisions.

Thanks Administrator2 for the update. This should energize the call camapign.
Come on folks please call all the Jud committee members.
Next full committee meeting is on Sep 16. There is no changes to the members on the committee.
Please call all Jud. committee members who aren't co-sponsors of HR 5882.
Thanks a lot for the update - this sure is encouraging!
Two quick questions...
1. When is the "next committee meeting" - next week or later?
2. Any changes to the list of members of the Judiciary committee? Better still, it will be great if you could re-post the latest list so we can get going with the fresh wave of phone calls...
Thanks again and let's pull up our socks for the home stretch.

worst case? yes.. it's mine..
My H1 revalidation appointment was on the 12-Dec. Visa was approved immediatly but haven't received the passport yet. I receive the same response when I call.. that its under PIMS verification. No ETA of when I can expect it to be done..
I had a H1 transfer to a new employer and 3 year extension happen at the same time. I am not sure what the problem is and what I can do. I am totally stressed out and really depressed ..
If someone has done something thats helped their case move along.. please PM me or reply to this post.. Thanks !

I don't know is it right Thread or not.
But i found this information in Rajiv's website.
The Mesg says:-

Some members of this portal and others have come together to form a new organization supporting legal mmigration with special focus on issues faced by employment-based applicants. Please visit:
www.immigrationvoice.org
DISCLAIMER: The Law Offices of Rajiv S. Khanna, PC cannot endorse or verify the activities of any organization. Please use your own judgment.
==================================
If we really not get his Endorsement, then we should remove that Information from our website.
Think about it
http://boards.immigrationportal.com/announcement.php?f=235&announcementid=84
The core-team of IV met with Mr.Khanna personally and spent several valuable hours with him. He does support our cause and appreciates the effort. The verbiage on our endorsement link is indeed from Mr.Khanna and was transmitted in the form of an email.
Everyone in the immigration community is now actively following the IV website (including the office of Mr.Khanna), and if something was completely mis-represented, they would let us know!
Nice try!

No need to worry.
People write letters all the time to the president and first lady, FBI, USCIS, etc etc when they are stuck in namechecks.
The thing is why should be force ourselves to write letters when we are in deep sh** like namechecks ourselves.
Why can't we do it when we can do it as a large group of people and not being selfish for once. I think this is our chance to stop being a lone voice when nobody hears us. In this campaign we can show how important our issue is and how desperately we want it to be fixed.
BTW I am going to post a handwritten letter. I have heard it works better.
Very good idea. Hand written letter - way to go. Everyone can do this.
Maybe we can write with blood(just kidding)

Not only the laptop but all your personal items such as purse, camera etc. BOYCOTT UK. These people are racist.
In my 10 year stay in the US, I have traveled through UK only once and I had promised to myself I will never fly through UK again. Apart from the Transit visa hassel, they do not allow you to carry a laptop in addition to your carry-on. Even if the airline allows you to carry laptop in addition to a carry-on, the obnoxious UK airport authority will force you to pack your laptop inside your carry-on.
Boycott UK!!

.... Why should they even extend H1 beyond 6 years?. If they do not extend H1, always new guys can keep coming on L1/H1 and the cost to employers will be much less. .....
>> Why should they even extend H1 beyond 6 years?
This is a very good question. When I was on H-1B visa, at that time, it can not be extended beyond 6 years. At that time, people will move to home country/Canada for 1 one year, plan to move to O visa if qualified, will try to regain time for out of US time etc. The argument was gaining strength that person should get green card before her/his 6 years are up. To make matter worse, H1 and H4 time was counted together.
Now, rather than providing the long term solution of increasing the quota for green cards per year, EB based applicants were offered band-aid solution of extending H1 indefinitely beyond 6 years if labor is pending > 365 calendar days or I-140 is pending/approved. This was further sugar coated that if I-485 is not approved in standard processing time of 6 months, applicant can change GC job for same/similar classification. People were very happy with AC-21 and many thought (and they still think) that getting EAD is like a provisonal green card, as they can change job easily and employer can no longer "control" them.
Now, since H1 can be extended beyond 6 years, the arguement for faster green card has become weaker. Reason is simple, since applicant can work for "green card sposoring" employer for infinite time, even if I-485 is not filed.
In my opionion, ac-21 was a band-aid solution. Strangely enough, perople are still looking for more band-aid solutions.
Well, as they say, history repeats itelf.

Hello,
I have heard of the TERM 'Interfiling' to port your priority date from EB3
to EB2. This i hear happens when your 485 is pending with USCIS and
you have an EB2 labour with current PD date. So you transfer the PD using Interfiling.
Any one any thoughts or have you done this ?
Thank You !

Another answer from Rajiv Khanna: on multiple 485s
I recommend both husband wife file for yourselves and for each other. So between the two , there will be four 485 applications. One: Wife as primary, husband as derivative. Second, husband as primary and wife as derivative. We do this all the time and this is the safest thing to do. You will keep whichever 485 set gets approved, first, the other will be rejected by CIS.

Hello every one,
1. If they are legally here for 10 years (With approved I-140 and waiting for Adjustment of Status without current date).
2. If they have earned full 40 points in Social Security
3. If they have paid the tax continuously for 10 years
4. If they own a house and paying Mortgage (adding weightage to the Economy boost)
and
5. If they do not have any criminal records in these 10 years.
You know some people meet all these conditions with the exception of approved i-40 and don't even have a pending Green Card application because their employers are just waiting for their H1 to be used up and then "kick them out".
I think if you meet all the conditions enumerated above, u should be automatically given a Green Card.

my lawyer's office just called me saying they would want to file ASAP, for which they want my signatures tomorrow. I met her an hour ago, when she was saying things like "hopefully by next week".
So whether or not this is a rumour, it sure has clicked the panic button for lawyers too!
If this is true, it is unimaginably bad. (Personally I still think it won't happen till end of July.)

Hi Guys,
Please find the details of how we complaint to our client management regarding L1 violation ....(for some of you guys who are interested in educating uer clients)
Step 1. Collect the email id of uer CEO and 8-10 executive managers, make sure that your groups CIO/CTO s email ids are included, get the email id of HR Head/Legal Dept/Immigration Dept of your client (CC them in the email).
Step 2. Create an anonymous Id with something like "Against Fruad"
Step 3. Formulate the email as given below
Subject: Fradulant Activity by Vendor - CTZ Tech Solutions ...For Eg.:-)
First Paragraph: What the Fraud/Violation Is?:
Mention the L-1B violation by these companies and how these resources are legally prohibited from working on staff augmentation assignments, mention the L1 reform act of 2004, provide the link to USCIS website and attach the .pdf file with L1 reform act. Mention the list of employees at the bottom of the email.
Second Pargaraph: Why They Do This?: Key points .. NO wage restrictions, NO numerical limitation and mention the H1 visa lottery in 2006,07,08 etc. NEVER talk abt corporate greed in this whole email (hope u got why!).
Third Paragraph: How they do this?: Mention about the petition which has to do nothing the current project they work on and the visa interview where these guys tell abt someother projects and clearly mention how they gets deployed to projects where they don't have eligibility to work and skills they cannot be utilized for.
Fourth Paragraph: How to Prevent this: (To show that you are sending this to resolve an issue and not to complicate one) ... mention about how easily each hiring manager can avoid this by setting visa criterion for all jobs including contract and temporary jobs.. once criterion is set by hiring managers these vendors cannot violate the same. For Eg. Hiring managers set the criterion that a new contract position can only be filled by Citizens/Green Cards/EAD/H1 s... so L1 violation doesnt even come into picture.
Last Paragraph (BUT NOT LEAST)
Mention the NAME of atleast 5 resources (and their organisation) working on L1, their projects, technology on which they work and how they violate L1 by working on these projects and technologies.
BELIEVE ME ... WE WERE PARTIALLY SUCCESSFULL ... NO MORE NEW ONSITE CONSULTANTS FROM THIS VENDOR ... but client is not yet ready to review the existing consultants.. looks like they are having a internal probe into the matter...hope we'll get some good news regarding the same too.

Now as per my lawyer's advice probably we will need to change her status back to H4.
Do you know how much time it will take to get that status change? What if your PD is no longer current?

I still think, the USA is the best place for democracy loving people. Govt and its agencies try their best to be accountable to law. Now if you want our Immigration issue to be put before IRAQ in the Congress, I would think that is selfishness. I have colleagues whose sons are in IRAQ. For me their lives are more important than my GC. Now that does not mean we stop making our point to Congress.
Vinabath i do NOT expect the nation to put Legal Immigration before the IRAQ WAR. Ofcourse I do not expect that. What I am trying to point out is that this is going to be a LONG LONG ongoing issue and if not the war, there will be OTHER issues like the presedential elections etc.
On another note, the US is a capitalistic economy. If you are not selfish, ur a nice guy and nice guys finish LAST.
