Good News indeed, but to be frank it just doesn�t excite me even a bit. After being stuck for over five years and getting nothing at the end, I reserve the right for myself to be skeptical and pessimistic!! :-( --Sorry
There are certainly anti-immigration groups like IEEE/US and others who will use every weapon at their disposal to sabotage legislations like SKIL BILL etc., but the reality is that US economy is increasingly becoming dependent on foreign-born skilled workers and by gradual exit of baby-boom generation out of economy this trend will accelerate.
I hope Congressman Senssenbrener doesn�t dismiss the legislation. It is just unfair to link the immigration issues of Merit-Based Immigration Applicants to border security.
Please let us know what we could do to help the process.

Guys,
I have pretty much the same story and am in pretty much the same situation due to PBEC and now retrogression.
I don't think returning back as a knee jerk reaction is a good idea. If you have already been here 8-9 years obviously you have been stuck in a programming job for the last 10+ years. You can't take programming experience back to home country and ask for management position. You will get no programming position because you are over qualified and no management position because you don't have the experience.
However horrible it sounds, its best to stick it out. I am personally ready to stick it out for at least 1.5 years. After that I will be forced to make a decision otherwise I will lose my canadian PR also.
Let's talk about three things:
1. Make efforts to get GC.
2. Plan for your future: Enhance your education, apply for PR in another developed country.
3. Make your present better: Enjoy everyday, don't worry about GC.
I was thinking about PMI, CISA and MBA right from the time I landed in US in 1999. Then I realized that I need to get an GC to make use of those. Then I started to look for a stable company where I can start my GC process. It took three years toll till then. I joined a good ameican company as a perm employee. They did not file my GC as they promised and I had to quit to join another company for the heck of my GC and for my (my wife with CPA / CA is on H4 for 5th year now) dream career. I had to go many step back in technology with the new company but I sucessfully managed to file my GC.
Then what? When I finished studying my PMI, all the retrogression story started. Then I had to ask questions my self.
1. With PMI certification in 2004, if I am doing a Sr. Software engineer, will it not raise questions down the line in my career interviews. May be yes or no, but I do not have answers.
2. With PMI Cert in 2004, if I can get my GC in 2005, I am pretty sure I could manage any questions throws at me, but not in 2008 or 2010. So I dropped the idea on PMI / CISA/ GMAT until I have 50% certanity of when I will be getting my GC in hand.
3. The worst will be starting an MBA with good univeristy and competing it in next two years with zero hope of getting GC then. What would you do if you are not even closer to file your 485 when you have MBA degree in hand. You will have career in your home country with this MBA for sure, but who will pay your debts here. It is like shooting yourself on your foot with golden gun. Atleast you will be satsifed it is golden gun, but the end result is hurting yourselves.
4. So what is the option? Never give up. There are always difficult times for everyone. What we are facing is nothing. There are people who are graduating at the age of 70 in US. I have seen a lady at the age of 70 graduating with MAB from Harvard. I thought she did it for fun, but in an interview she said she wants to pursue her career in marketing field. This is an eye opener for me. So prepare yourself with TOEFL and GMAT. These scores are valid for 5 years. Join from volunteer organizations and develop your leadership skills. Reco letters from these orgs will have great impact when you apply for MBA infuture. Most of all it is right way to live a peaceful life atleast if you do not go the MBA route, you will develop the skills needed for your life.

Dude...read your post properly...u are making a statement...u r not saying it is what USCIS thinks...
And nobody is insecure over here..it's just people like u who have made this forum a place of hatred between people of different countries....
Didn't u learn on day 1 of ur job?...read a few times before u post/mail to anyone....u have no right to use words EB3 and unskilled together...
If u think USCIS thinks that way....pls mention it so...Get a life
FYI...I AM INDIAN
Sorry for sqeezing in to the argument.... I am here to say that I am an Indian too. Thats it.

If you want to hear from Murthy, see the link I posted earlier
Here it is

Relevant part from the link
"
Each H1B Employer Must File a New H1B Petition
.................................................. ............................................... When an H1B employee wants to change employers in the United States, the prospective new employer must first file a new H1B petition. Although many people refer to this as an H1B "transfer," there is no separate transfer procedure under law. Each H1B is employer-specific and requires the filing of a new H1B petition and an approval from the USCIS to work for the new H1B employer.

Thank you very much, gc28262.
That's exactly what I was looking for.
IV community has answered all my questions.
Special thanks to desi3933 and gc28262
I will update the thread once I submit the RFE.
Good Luck for All of YOU with your GC process.

yes I 140 has been approved in Feb o7.
Let me wait for actual denial letter.
It seems that is the best option at this point for me.
- Thanks
Looks like USCIS is sending more denial letters on AC21 cases these days, a lot of VOs may not have been trained on AC21.
I took infopass this week to find out status of my case (AC21 responded to NOID and case reopened and lot of soft LUDs) - the VO was trying to be judgemental instead of looking at computer and answer my question. She said "If you change job and 140 is revoked, there is no way your 485 will get approved" and when I insisted her to look at computer and let me know status, after some nagging, she looked and told me case is pending and NC cleared and I will receive a decision sometime but not very soon.
Believe me, a lot of VOs do not know AC21 stuff.

I filed my 485 in July 11th and have received the 485 receipts. There is a possibility that I might get laid off before Jan 11 (180 days). My H1 B expires Nov 2008.
Questions
1. Can I stay legally in US if I get laid off in Oct 07 ?
2. How can I proceed with my Green Card process ?
I think this might be a repeat question, but would still like to get your thoughts.
Gagan
If your I-140 is approved and if ur employer could continue ur GC for more than 180 days as a future employee you could work for another employer on H1B till then and then the new employer could take over ur GC process. However plz check with an attorney though.

I am not indian, I am chinese, and I attended the rally in DC. I am so touched by you brave indian people. while I feel such a shame that we only had much less chinese there. Part of the reason is that IV is originally Indian club. We got the message but kind of lack of close organization.
I explained it to many Chinese I met at the rally that IV is not Indian. Please ask everyone to join IV
Alterego has a good point too. We need professional lobbist to organize more efficient events (in American way). we do have immigration lawyers association, but I guess they don't really represent us.
and besides another rally, we need persistent effort on this by a dedicated group of people, even some full time ( hired them, like a real job), to keep their attention, not just one strike.

I BEG to differ. I called USCIS today morning and the rep told me VERY CLEARLY that ANY application received on July 2 will be ACCEPTED as July 2 is the cutoff.
A few min later my spouse called and they told her, Everything would be rejected.
USCIS customer service center, currently cant differentiate their A** from a hole in the ground!!
hilarious!!!!

To pbojja, if you think being concerned about fraud desi companies and highlighting issues we can resolve easily (like English classes) is being disrespectful to one's fellow country men/women, then I must not have put forward my point clearly and I apologize for that. I never said that only English speaking skills were required to be a good professional. However, they are important tools for effective communication. Not every desi IT professional in the U.S. is a developer and is in roles which do require good English speaking skills. Anyway, I didn't mean to be disrespectful to anyone.
To sri1309, I never meant to digress from existing items on IV's agenda. All I am saying is that the backlog might get cleaned up a bit if we are able to assist in weeding out fraud cases.
