For those who doubt that a definitive initiative is needed for the Legal immigrant community, may I humbly remind them of the most basic and the most important phrase of the US Constitution..."Every human being has the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness". What has been happening with all this memos and counter-memos and visa bulletins from the USCIS and the DOS is a denial of our basic human rights...first as Human beings and then as Legal Immigrants. Friends we can possibly build a strong case based on the informed readings of the US Constitution and Law. We have done nothing wrong to get such treatment buy these departments. We have followed every law and requirement that the US Immigration Law has prescribed but because of the sheer number of immigrants from India and China we are being disadvantaged and discriminated by the US Congress, certain laws and by these departments. It is not a legal immigrants fault that the US Law does not limit the F1 visas issued in a year by country and the number of jobs applied under H1b program by country. The endless delays in the GC process clearly disadvantages the legal immigrant community from large countries like India and China compared with legal immigrants from other countries and even US citizens. They clearly cannot pursue their dreams of prosperity, career advancement, security (for himself and family via education, jobs and homes) and overall happiness. Justice delayed is nearly always denied.

Too bad you did not bother reading up on the net before you took your job. I researched what is involved prior to leaving grad school and I knew it was a long wait. Like I said quota is there because of numbers / diversity. US needs programmers from more than just one country.
And its not really a quota since numbers are rolled at the end of the year to oversubscribed countries. Your notion of separate queues derives from your ignorance of how immigration works. Why hasn't anyone challenged the quota in the Supreme Court ?
Maybe we will. If community comes together. Lawsuit requires lot of money. There is a saying in India that a wise man should never climb the steps of the court, however; after repeated insults and discriminations he becomes unwise. And good that you read the rules, but you said something like grad school? Was it US grad school? Dont you know criterion and intention on F1 is to go back? I came here on H1 directly. At that time, I was too young and naive to see the sandtraps. You cant blame for someone falling in a well disguised hole.

Why fight among EB2 and EB3? EB1 should be also a part of this, that's what we are good at...right?
Is it fair that a EB1 from 2010 has a GC wheras an EB2 from 2005 is still waiting?
EB-1 will never become part of us because of simple reason they are always Cuirrent!
Who said it is Fair? nothing is fair... this is the policy of Divide and Rule
Never want to hurt anyone.

As far as ideas for mode of Re-imbursement,
it is quite simple and straightforward I think.
1. Publish Aman's address,
2. Instruct all pledgers to send cheques to his address made Payable to "Aman Kapoor".
3. Publish a letter template, which states something to the effect "I am hereby sending a cheque for $xx to re-imburse Aman Kapoor for his expenses incurred while fighting for the rights of legal high-skilled immigrants. I am fully aware that this contribution is not intended to be used towards the Immigration Voice Non-Profit Fund and that it is specifically for re-imbursement of past expense incurred by Aman. I am fully aware that I am sending this amount of my own will out of gratitude towards him for fighting for my rights. I hereby also waive all my rights to request him to refund this amount or to file any litigation in this matter."
4. All pledgers have to send this signed letter along with their cheque.
Note:
- i have not thought about tax consequences and we should not discuss that here as it is a personal matter, rather you can chat with Aman and fine tune this method.
- it may be easier to set up a Administrative expense account within IV for this purpose as this may be ongoing affair, expenses incurred by core team is bound to keep going up in future.

I'm so thrilled that this happened ... I actually expected this to happen ........ Not sure why they didnt simply make it U .... Hopefully will spur all the EB2 folks to do something rather than thinking that the problem is only for unfortunate EB3 filers :)
i hear you.

There is nothing change in the next bulletin. What you saw from the last couple of bulletins "Unavailable". That should be happened with in few months. This is my opinion. I am not blaming any body. This is the real situation going on from the last couple of years bulletins.[/QUOTE]
If we just keep watching the visa bulletin every month, there would be no change. We will see November 2001 in next couple of months after that it will become "U" again. We got to do something and we need guidance and direction from IV.

It is true that country quota is a discrimination. But when you just try to remove the country quota other country persons are going to oppose as they will be impacted if country quota is removed. But if you try with other agenda like recapture then opposition may not be strong and also every one will get benefit.
QUOTE=hindu_king;339926]Below is what I sent. Maybe we can tweak this letter and send it to all senators and congressmen.
Subject: Discrimination of Indian Immigrants
Dear President Obama,
I wanted to bring to your attention the plight of hundreds of thousands of highly skilled Indian immigrants waiting endlessly for many years in order to obtain a permanent residency in the US. The process of getting a permanent residency is a long, winding, time consuming, financially and emotionally draining experience, with no end at sight. After 5 to 10 years of waiting in line, paying taxes, obeying law, many high skilled workers from India find that permanent residency is only a dangling carrot that they may never get it.
One of the biggest hurdles for high skilled immigrants from India is a country cap that limits applicants from any one country from having more than 7% of the available employment based green cards (140,000 visa numbers per year). This means applicants from countries like Andorra and Luxembourg get the same number of green cards as applicants from India and China. This causes a person from India and China to wait 5 to 10 years in order to get permanent residency while applicants from all other countries have zero wait time. We are here in USA because we wanted to be a part of USA, and not because we came from a certain country. All applicants should be treated equally and country cap only allows discrimination by national origin in the disguise of fairness to all, as US has a lot more high skilled workers from India or China than from Andorra or Luxembourg.
President Obama, we are here to pursue the American Dream and we find hurdles at every level during the immigration process. I request you to kindly remove the discriminatory country cap and provide us relief. This is a small step that can enormously help hundred of thousands of high skilled immigrants and we will be grateful to you for our lifetime.
Thank you President Obama and you are doing a wonderful job!
Sincerely,
Xxxxx xxxxx[/QUOTE]

I think it's tough for anyone to predict exact EB3 -> EB2 porting for this year at this point in time....It's definitely going to increase every year...unless some rule changes...It was pretty clear even before this lawyer posted that EB2 will have no or very slow movement without any spillover...

I am afraid that you might be right on this. Having said that it appears that there isn’t lot of resistance for our provisions in the senate. In fact, we have been able to get our provisions through the senate few times already but we have never been able to get anything out of the house. We tried twice and it always failed in the house.
So why don’t we try to persuade house to come up with our provisions and that shouldn’t (I hope) have any problem in the senate. If history is any guide, senate has always been helpful to us. Any comment on who in the house might be willing to help us in lame-duck session.
If the Democrats :cool: win, we will be screwed because the illegals will get all the visas.
If the Republicans :cool: :eek: win, we will also be screwed because nobody will get visas.

Today I spoke to a Representative who deals with immigration issue at Sen Mike Dewine's (R-OH) office. I spoke to him for 15 minutes to understand what he and his senator think about this CIR.
Here is he and his senator feels about this bill. It is difficult for him to say that when CIR bill will be introduced in senate floor . It depend on Majority and Minority leaders to decide. Majority leader told to the media that he will introduce before the end of the may, he is mostly consistent, but there are several bills where he has committed a timeline and till today it is not on the floor.
However he told that once CIR pass, legal immigration is already taken care of, but if it does not passes there are bills like SKIL which will be put before the floor. But CIR has to fail or pass before you see this SKILL bill on the floor.
This might be kind of tricky. CIR might neither pass nor fail in the Senate but just being shelved. If that is the case, SKIL might never come to the floor
