To Senior Members:
Can senior members update us on what the strategy is ? I strongly believe that if we go to the route of worrying with the idea that opponents of bills will spy on us, that is not going to bring benefit to us and we may end up losing communication as a group. Things don't work like that way. Even NumbersUSA, Laraza, etc publish their action plan all the time way in advance. There is nothing to hide, especially because people out there know very well what we want. In my opinion it is better that they know it because it is fair and logic.
Honestly things don't look good out there. An enforcement type of bill is about to be approved in Congress. For the next year our fate will be tailored to:
1. Who loses the elections. If a high percentage of pro amnesty or pro SKIL bill incumbents lose, we can find ourselves in a bad shape. Chances:60%
2. If another - God forbidden - terrorist attack occurs, then we are in the deepest s* imaginable.
We can't control either of situation above, I am just saying that we should use every single minute and chance, because the situation may get worse befores it gets better.
my comment is with respect to the bit about us getting justice!! melodrama will not get us anywhere. IMHO there is no injustice being meted out here. Our situation is a mix of a broken system and, supply vs demand.
also, please keep in mind that the core group, after working with QGA and various members from both parties, has a very good understanding of the way the system works. you have to change this from within. marching and screaming and hollering is going to get us no where.
as for help, I have seen many memebers offering to help. when someone from the core group says that all the help we need now, is money and more members, why can we all not just HELP by contributing and getting more people to join??

Having copy of approved 140 is helpful, but even if you don't have it (many desi employers hide it from their employees) you still got nothing to worry. You should at least have the 140 case number and then pull your PERM record from flcdatacenter. Attorney would take care of rest. Good luck.
Please can you elaborate on how to pull your PERM record from flcdatacenter?....for all our benefit.

We should focus on all 3 Lofgren bills (HR 5882, 5921 and 6039), by cherry picking one bill is not going to provide relief to the entire community. Hey isn't USCIS already following something similar to 5921 by rolling over unused visa's from ROW to retrogressed countries. USCIS hasn't been wasting lots of visa's for the past 2 years (2006-7 and 2007-8). By just supporting HR5921 we are creating a rift between ROW and retrogressed countries. HR5921 along with the other 2 bills is the only way the entire community can benefit.

I appreciate your efforts. However, 2 things are in our way. Firstly the AMA has a pretty strong grip on affairs to do with docs. at the congressional level, and they and even the ACP for that matter don't seem too keen on lobbying for our cause despite the rather clear signals emerging of a physician shortage in the USA.
They just want the J1 waiver program specifically the Conrad 30 program and thats exactly what they are getting. Futhermore to compensate for the american citizens going offshore for medical school and taking up residency spots, they want to make all non US citizens FMGs come on J1 visas and hence banish them to the boon docks. That is the solution they have proposed, it did not make it into CIR by accident.
There is no conceivable reason why NIW docs could not get in under schedule A or in EB1, except that the AMA and especially the IMG section of the AMA wants it to stay this way.
Unfortunately this issue will only be resolved when FMG becomes mostly US citizens who then have no incentive at all to move to rural or primary care jobs. Then the AMA might, just might be forced to wake up.
Sorry if I sound cynical, but I really don't see too much that can change the status quo. There are strong vested interests involved.

Here is some additional info on how bills make their way through the House and Senate.

Perhaps folks who still have doubts in participating in collective efforts and the power of a platform like IV will realize how important it is to participate.

My nephew and niece got visit visa for another 10 years last month. Their 10 year visa was expired last year. They are now 18 and 16 years of age. They got their visa stamped in Kuwait. They did come here and left within 1 month for all their 5 visits. So the VO convince their intention (just for visit). So age is not problem, VO is not convinced most young guys (Indian) intentions. They give visit visa for young guys from Europe and other countries.
The VO said all the required documents are good. He was asked for how long he wants to be in US.(answer was 1 month)
VO said he can not issue visa as he is too young. "We are not issuing visa for people of your age."

Even EB3 South Korea got more visas then India, China, UK, Cannda and Mexico. We have a cause where we all can stand together and say put control on SK visas.
I am doing what i can, talk to lawyer-members of AILA, write emails to DOS/CIS/Ombudsman. But Collectively we can do more.
sachug22, Please complete your profile.
Secondly, I would wait till next year numbers to see if they are really giving more visas to SK, or is it the case where they just wanted to use up all the leftover visas at the end of FY to avoid wastage.

Do not have I140 or Labor cert details? Do not worry..
All you need is Job description to prove same or similar job.
<Is it possible to change jobs if I don't have this information?>
YES. The only problem is you have to prove to INS that you have same or similar new job. So, you need the job title and description in your Labor/ I-140.
1. You can hope that your H1 job description was same. You may use that.
2. DOL has public database of all LCs and LCAs...since 2000.
Go to www.flcdatacenter.com and you will see downloadable mdbs. You can get your job title for which Labor was filed, and the job code. find out typical job description from Onet or Dot dictionary and you have your old job description. The new job has to have that same or similar job. In your old job, even if your job involved watching TV or scratching own back, your labor was approved for the said classification and new job has to have that. Or similar.
3. Foramlly, ask your employer about your job description. Tell them that if they refuse, you will go to Dept of Labor, and they will have to. Also tell them that if DoL gets a complain, they will charge $200/hr to company to investigate and future H1s may be in problem.
If they do not reply, Write another letter saying that I understand that I am employed for such and such occupation, unless you deny, I will assume that I am right.
4. Get new job title and job description accordingly.
5. There are really very nice AC21 letters on immigration.com board. Pick up a good one and send it to INS.
6. Thumb your nose to old employer and tell to shove up the I140 and labor where sun does not reach...THIS IS MOST IMPORTANT.
Best of luck, pal! I was in the same boat.. None of the boards immigration.com, IV or Murthy or told me how to get job description, so I found myself (and I am patting myself on the back )

Hi,
I am applying for my I-485 and my wife's I-485/EAD. I'm in my 3rd yr of H1 and expires may'08. My attorney suggested that applyin for EAD for me is not worth as i can use my time on H1 till oct/nov and instead of renewing H1, then apply for EAD so that i will not end up wasting my EAD time. So, We plan to apply for my EAD/AP and wife's AP sometime in nov. Am i thinking thinking right..anything wrong doing this. possible con's?
i still think it's best to apply for ead so you can work for another company if you plan to change job after 180 days. your h1 visa only allows you to work for the sponsoring company. just my opinion.

is that a speculation or its from a source?
Speculation by SIFMA.
Extension of Optional Practical Training Visa Time Period
Anticipated that the Department of Homeland Security will publish a rule extending the Optional Practical Training ("OPT") visa time period from 12 months to 29 months. SIFMA has been advocating for this extension as part of a broader visa reform effort seeking to facilitate movement and immigration of highly skilled workers. At this time, it is anticipated that the OPT extension may be limited to those with STEM degrees (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) and may also require employers to participate in the government's e-verify program. It is unclear whether the rule proposal will be published for notice and comment or will be an interim final rule, but it is likely that SIFMA will comment if it has the opportunity to do so. Although SIFMA supports extension of the OPT time period, it may comment on two aspects of the anticipated proposal: (1) limiting the category of degree holders will limit the usefulness of the OPT extension for the securities industry; and (2) requiring participation in e-verify program is controversial because it is reportedly not very accurate since it is based on limited information.
