I am new to this and I sent email couple of times and called certain people in IV list.
Most of the responses from the senator/congress members or even conversation refers undocumented immigrants, safe/secure borders etc.
What is missing in representing the EB community different to illegal immigrants ?

I agree with OP that we should know what's going on. But at the same time there is nothing called free lunch in this world. I suppose some guys in this forum have lot of time and energy to vent it out on each other. We won't achieve anything with all this fighting... but seems we are best in altercating with each other. Some times I just wonder whether folks out here are really skilled immigrants (gimme red dots)?? We should better do something constructive..
I realized making a small contribution will not hurt me even in this economy... so contributed $25.

http://www.siliconindia.com/shownews/British_visa_regime_affects_Indian_nationals-nid-21278.html
LONDON: Nationals from India, Pakistan and four other countries would now need a visa to even travel through the UK on their way to a third country, the Home Office announced on Wednesday.
The new visa regime -- 'Direct Airside Transit Visa (DATV)' -- would come into effect from midnight tonight, it said in a news release. The other countries affected by DATV are Bangladesh, Angola, Cameroon and Lebanon.
Previously, nationals of these countries needed the visas to visit the UK, but could do without one if they were passing through, within 24 hours.
The Home Office cited six reasons as to why the measure was being introduced saying "there is a significant level of abuse of the UK immigration control committed by Indian nationals".
Home Office Minister Beverley Hughes said, "We are responding to intelligence that a growing number of nationals from these countries are using the transit route to flout our immigration controls and to enter the UK illegally or to make unfounded asylum applications."
He said the announcement was part of a package of measures being used to strengthen UK border controls abroad, including new screening technology and better use of intelligence to break up gangs that profit from the trade in illegal immigrants.
He also said that the UK is committed to a continued increase in the number of visitors and students from India.
"We can ensure that those who do not qualify under these waivers and who need to apply for a DATV can do so as smoothly as possible and at any of our 11 visa application collection offices across India at a cost of Rs 2,150," he said.
On why Indian nationals would need DATV, the release attributed it to the significant level of abuse of the UK immigration control by them.
It said between January to June this year there was evidence to indicate that Indian nationals accounted for 40 per cent of the cases where passengers able to transit the UK without a visa and who then sought to stay here illegally or by making an asylum claim involved Indian nationals.
Last year, around 2000 Indian nationals applied for asylum in the UK and indications were that the number this year would be even higher.
Further, during the same period some 400 arrived without any documents and more than 270 using forged documents.
Indian nationals account for the highest number of asylum applications made on arrival in the UK, it said adding that this was part of a general tightening of controls to prevent abuse of the asylum system.
There is a reason why Indians are required to take a transit visa. Coz, in the past there have been Indians (at EU airports) who have claimed that they have lost their memory, do not remember who they are, don't have any ID and hence qualify for asylum on medical grounds. Now these gov'ts are requiring ALL Indians to have a transit visa so that if anyone pulls such antics, they have all the information that they need to identify the individual and deport. Some bad apples have f&^%ed it up for all of us.

Wow, this is one of the most baseless and preposterous statements/arguments I have seen so far..very interesting indeed!!

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.

we have to take the word from IV as truth but with a grain of salt. As unitednations alluded to, this push is coming from Employers. That should make us worry and STOP this grab.
Believe me, efforts are underway full swing to grab these unused EB3 visas. Apart from the references I made in my post, I also am in touch with a Staffing firm that recruit nurses from non-US countires.
We have discussed a lot about things in this forum. Every person came up different thought, links etc and moreover our goal of adding I-485 in this feb bill.
After reading all the post mentioned by IV core, it is clear that no one can do anyting about it, there is no lobbyist that can force this to happen
So our struggle is useless, some may not agree to it because, they say they are pushing and trying to make voice that can be heard by the congress.
Congress did not listen to those million illegals on what grounds we expect our voice to be heard.
I say it again, our struggle is useless. When they wish then only something might happen.

I realize that there is no point in telling you guys anything. When you don't have an open mind, you can not accept the facts. It's like banging your heads against steel wall. When you are not even ready to diagnose the disease, there is little hope you will be able to cure it. Denial is a beautiful thing.
So I apologize for my comments.
Here is something you will love:
Congratulations IV and the core team! Keep up the good work.

Just called USCIS and told her that My application was mailed on Jun 28th and it got delivered on July 02. I also told her that my PD is May 2003 (hence i'm eligible to file in June)..
She told me that since i mailed it in June and this Notice goes into effect in July 02 my application WILL NOT be rejected... She asked me to wait for receipt notice :)
GOING CRAZZZZZZZZZZZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I dont know what all these exchanges with CS Reps is doing for others......but it is making me laugh like crazy....bet they dont have a clue about why our ass is on fire since Monday July2nd (early fireworks from USCIS for our benefit ...huh?)

Just based on the definition given by DOL I decided Level III and Level IV to be EB2. Besides I am EB2 and my wage level is Level IV. I agree it is hard to conclude the cat based on wage level, I saw there were some Senior welders in Level III as well as Vice presidents of the companies. Quite a contradiction isn't it!!
I think Level indicates the Step within the existing Job Title. For example, a Senior Programmer Analyst could have a level 2 or 3 but an Entry level Project Manager could have a level 1 or 2. I think one would have to use a combination of Level and SOC Code.

By not standing up for your fellow indian and boycotting AF you are dis-respecting your fellow indian since you dont seem to care about the racist experience they had. So how are you different from "indians who discriminate indians" ? :confused: Just because we had a legacy of caste system doesnt mean you dont have to stand up for what is wrong. Your indifferent attitude/actions seems to contradict your own statements.

Actually, it was published in every major paper in the US, as well as in India, China, Canada, and a number of other countries. It was this broad coverage that led to the New York Times editorial. I have also seen mention of it on several news TV channels. And more is to come. The LA Times will be doing a story very soon.

I can tell your case. If you apply now by EB you will get gc within 3 to 7 years time. If you apply by point system after 5 years of USA experience and you will have employer sponsor you will have 16 points more than those who are coming fresh to USA. So both point system and EB system you will get at the same time period. Process delay will be minimal as no labor or I140. But initial period there will be delays as it is entirely new and untested. We cannot compare EB and point system now. Only point system comes we will know the problems
First of all, it is not "my" case. I have been waiting in line for my green card for the past 5 years with my labor stuck in BEC. So, under the current CIR draft, I will be one of the biggest losers as I have not filed for my I-140 and so, my whole application will go down the drain after 5 years of time, money, energy and emotional stress.
How do you come with a math where I will be able to get a GC immediately after 5 years if I apply under the points system? Did you even read the draft bill? How will I or anybody else for that matter, manage for next 5 years without a GC when they are squeezing out the H1B (fee increase, removal of dual intent etc)?? Next would be the per country hard quota that will put us in an eternally long line.
I would definitely compare the current mess of a EB based system with the untested point system and take the current system any time as it is a known devil. The merit system is no angel either. Atleast in the current system, if I wait long enough, I know that my turn will come.
How do you know that process delay would be minimal? USCIS's current delay is not because of process, it is because of the sheer volume of applications and lack of man power. The PERM system takes one month. If you pay premium processing, it takes them 15 days to clear your I-140. So, where is the delay in process? All the delay is from the past backlogs which this bill fails to address and at the I-485 stage where they have to do background checks. That will exist in the points system as well. After you discover the problems in the point system, what will you do then? Ask for another CIR bill??

Teh whole world knows). They will put all the applicatiosn received on July 02 in hold and may start processing from Oc 01 2007. As i said earlier she knows jack about the probelm. If you ask more questions they simply say that they are only customer service and this is what they know. I asked who else should i contact to get more info and she told i have to contact them only. What an idiotic organization.

If you are a student and not earning, you have every right to request for free access. You claim to be Highly educated and earning and you still want free ride?
This was a smart reply.

hi mirage,
you dont need to pay anymore money for EAD when you apply in future. this is what my attorney said. Thats why USCIS fees is very high and its one time fess for EAD and AP.
Actually you are partly right. Only those who had paid the revised higher fee last year are eligible to get renewals for free. All those who had paid the regular fee (July filers) pay for renewal everytime
