Awesome! Someone needs to take a lead. Who would that be?
I dont have knowledge/experience in leading these efforts. I can give 30-60 mins of time everyday and contribute. If someone has more experience, ready to help.

I spoke to a lady named Susan ( from expatsvoice.org ) yesterday and she told me that she is pursuing with Senator from Florida about making changes in CSPA Act. They have already given some sort of draft legislation to that Congressman.
I would request our Core Group to join hands with that group to pursue this matter further.
If some one is interested in having her contact number, pl send a private message to me.

Not possible explicitly for EB3.IV is for EB community to support generic issues like CIR etc...Which may help EB2 and EB3.
You really think CIR will happen huh.. Good luck with that ... if Republicans get the majority in house, CIR can Rest In Peace. We all know the two big reasons that would cause Dems to lose the house majority this fall - Economy and Immigration. We also know where Dems stand on immigration - Amnesty and CIR. CIR is not popular among american voters and Republicans will play to that tune when they get the majority. They will spend all the time talking about securing the border and until the border is secure CIR wont be taken up for discussion. That means no CIR for the next few years (atleast until 2012). Anybody wanna bet? ;)
In my opinion, the only way to get out of EB backlog mess is through piecemeal legislation and the current bill ('SKILL Act of 2010' H.R.5658) is one such bill that can bring relief to EB community.

No impact on BEC approvals on retrogression, BECAUSE THEY NEED TO GET I-140 to be approved, then only their case to be on the line for visa number. Now no premium processing, their I-140 is going to get approved dring May OR June 2008. Till then the guys with I-140 approved and filed in June 2007 get GC. BEC approvals on 2001, 2002, 2003 cases after june 30th (last date for premium) will be on above catagory.
I agree with you. That's the reason I feel USCIS is just taking time to get their act together and move forward with PD.
I am very doubtful that DOS would open the gates completely next July (like this year) as they had very bad experience. But EB3 dates may move to early 2005 (March 2005 may be - before PERM was launched) and EB2 close to 2006.

For Indians we had vaccination in India at our childhood. Due to this some will get positive results in the skin test. Then doctor is going to recommends for chest x-ray. Some of the doctor's are going to overlook this. Because the medical report is a sealed cover we don�t know what number he written in the medical examination form. You can ask the doctor.
And one more thing is for skin test we have wait couple of days.
From my experience I recommend others to go for x-ray. In my case my immigration doctor, he written 5mm as reaction for skin test. USCIS sent RFE on this to go for x-ray.
I gone for x-ray and answered the RFE immediately.
A chest x-ray is required only if the reaction to the TB skin test is 5mm or greater.
http://www.usabal.com/permres/surgeons/index.html
My wife and I went for the medical examination 1.5 years ago, when we thought we'll be eligible to file shortly. We still have those sealed envelopes. However, the time passed and I understand we need to undergo the exam again for our June filing, correct?
The first time around my wife had a positive skin test (immunized in childhood) and negative Xray. Back then she was advised to never do the skin test again, as it'll always be positive. So, she'll need to go for an Xray this time. However, she is pregnant, and they don't Xray pregnant women... Is she an exempt then? There gotta be a provision for something like this, right?
Thanks.

yeah but thats not the kind of training NIIT would provide you (Assembly level stuff, parallel programming concepts etc). Such training institutes teach you programming, what mundada was talking about is software engineering.
I stand corrected. I misunderstood his statement. I thought he was referring to a non-US degree. Yes, I agree, a sound theoretical foundation goes a long way.

Grass-roots advocacy means advocacy at ground level.
Ground level in political terms means opinion of actual worker who is doing the work and in this case it would be all the people who are actually doing the work of meeting meeting law makers and to explain retrogresssion to them. That would be the donors and people like you who have our respect. For a grass root level advocacy to work an organization has to be made up of grass root worker. Grass root workers are the people at the bottom of totem pole. In our case that would be EB3 workers now we all know that EB2 workers when they get their green card dissapear from the forum and leaves the EB3 guys to carry the burden (case in point PAPPU the admin who is the only admin i see on the forum since he is eb3) . So finally we are left to handle the IV Movement movind forward. Now if i was an organizer of a movement i would make sure that all the points made by the organisation is directed towards allaying the concern of people who have been impacted most by retrogration (BTW that would be Eb3 guys and not EB23 who by their god given right have first preference over everything and wil get residency soon because they are a preffered catefgory).
i would classify you as a idT iot if you have NOT realised that from my first post that all i have talking about is "more should be done for EB3" and not "no one is doing anything for EB3". If you have not realised that you are an a person who is blinded by your own Stupidness.
()
EB3 workers understand advocacy (Please do NOT think we are people who have to be lead by someone who thinks they are intellectually superior(yes i am talking about EBS persons). You are the same as us so this EB2 and EBS classification is redumbent and moot)
yes this discussion has been entertaining because it has lead to a revelation that EB2 consider themselves superior to EB3 and you do not get to say when this discussison ends because you are short time oppurtunist and your word has not value
Even a coolie knows that after working harde whole day he will be paid at the end of the day but EB3 folks will not
get that satisfaction till all EB2 get their green cards
You dont have to wish EB3 folks good luck because we make our own luck (God when i see your bigoted ass get a gc we will well rid of you)

Hi, regrading point 4,
again, as I mentioned, there is not much we can do about that. People are trying to apply under EB2, no matter whether there is additional 55K or not. We just can not stop them. Politics is all about compromise. Do you agree this bill will also do something good for EB3? It might not be a prefect bill, but it is as close to perfect as we can get at this time, isn't it?
Politics is all about compromise
This kind of statements have been used time and again to justify actions taken by a section of people to skew things in their favor. How come there has been no compromise from EB2 folks or folks who have done MS here in US. When things became in favor of EB2 they started saying we are better educated so we deserve the GC sooner. Now US educated MS wil lstart saying the same thing. Compromise is something done to make it favorable for parties. Some more than othere but the fact is everyone gets some thing. In this case people with older priority dates wil get nothing. That is not a compromise that is called shafting.
This bill might do something good for some EB3 folks who have advanced degree but then again instead of a EB2 and EB3 difference we will now have an EB3 MS and EB3 Non MS difference and as i see it there is not much difference between those two. Same wine new bottle.
Being at the bottom of the totem pole is not a good place my friend. Shit always flow up to down never down to up.
In any case what is being discussed here wil have no impact on the outcome of the bill. If the bill goes through MS educated EB3 folks wil get GC and non US educated folks will still be standing in the line applying for AP and EAD.

If this amendment had really passed, and if it had not been modified in the conference between house and senate and if hard cap had become a law, then this amendment would have done more harm than good.
This is senate approval only. Doesn't it have to go through Congress also. Where are the votes in congress?
I also understand that there was no real intention on Kennedy to bring up our case. It was pure politics.
Please explain both points. Thanks

Can please someone confirm that. My attorney says its based on priority date but I just called USCIS information desk and they said that its based on 485 application date.

supporting those bills.
Office of "Ciro Rodriguez" said that they respond to issues from
their constituents and encouraged me to call my representative.
Office of "Lucille Roybal-Allard" said "pass and message" and asked
if I have contacted my representative.

You can take these at any Hospitals or Clinic. They are quiet costly but my insurance covered them 100%.
From my understanding you need all these completed to be able to file I485, when ever that may be.......
