If the CIR bill passed then we will see huge forward movement else nothing discussing for EB3.
CIR is not going to help EB community unless a miracle happens. It is for illegals only just like last time. Worse comes to worse it is going to put more hurdles for H1b and EB folks.
I think we are better off without CIR.
In any case there is no hope for CIR . A number of senator and congressmen are opposed to it and the wide public also doesn't support it .

I have been waiting to see what is going happen with CIR. Now that it is stalled, is this a good time to file for labor and start my GC process?

Please check my signature...I am stuck in Atlanta. For more than few months, Atlanta has not been touching the Audit cases at all. Just makes me angry:mad:
This is my first time here. I want very much to get the Audit issue resolved (if we could)

Total Contribution so far: $225
I will sign up for $50/month today by 9PM central..
I have pursuaded people ("friends") to join and contribute but all they say is I will .. never seen one do it .. ashamed of 'em ...I dont really understand why people are so hesitant to contribute. We need a group effort my 50 dollars a month will achieve nothing unless lot of people do the same.
I contribute for my benifit you do it for yours.

Below post appears to be by a user who had his application pending in NSC and approved, based on this profile in IV.

Looks like NSC is also approving I-485's. Not sure how long this trend is going to continue, guess all depends on how much visa numbers gets trickled down from other categories to EB2 India / China. Hope and wish they are many.. which would helps many people waiting in line and PD not getting pushed back for FY '10. I feel bad for EB3 folks though, seems like nothing going to change for them at least in near future, untill there is some congressional action. Hopefully the next VB gives some indication on how things are going to move. Good luck and wishes to all who got greened, especially with older PD's who have been waiting for years. Think nothing changes much overnight with GC, but certainly gives a peace of mind and helps execute long term plans with much confidence.

Hi
yes, thats what my lawyer says as well ... under section 245 k which applies to employment based GC applications, we can file follow-to-join within 180 days. In the mean time h4 status gets nulled and we should not travel out of the country.
I believe that as soon as you file under section 245k, your spouse will be eligible for EAD, AP.
Also, I have heard that 245k is straightforward and will be granted quickly- meaning your spouse will be granted gc in a couple months.

Yupp, we have to go through CP in Montreal. Our PD is Feb/2006. We hope to be current this year ! There seems to be some hope ?????
you may be right, there is much speculation on other threads that i have read that EB3 ROW, will be current by this summer, if not it will atleast show significant move. So i've got my fingers crossed

Thanks for your efforts.
My suggestion is: those who have maxed out their 6 yrs on H-1B + have atleast crossed the labor and I-140 stage; should be automatically granted the green card.
These are the people who are really stuck, because if their green card does not get approved, they have no option but to return. Also, if they lose their job they are out of options as they cannot seek another H1B extension or transfer.
Typically, these people would have young children who were born here, and go to school here. These children sing the US national anthem and pledge allegience to the flag everyday at their school. Making these people wait and wait for their green cards helps no one. They are not taking anyones jobs, they are educated, civilized people. They have proved their usefulness to their companies and the society over the past 7~8 years.
Thank you Totoro. People like you keeps the hope alive in our heart that someday justice will be done.
So far all the arguments and suggestions were really good. But Totoro seems to be looking for compelling stories. There are very depressing cases where people had to restart their GC process for no fault of their own. And some people have been here for more than 10 years still rotting in the queue hoping to get a GC and move on with their dreams to become a Citizen of this country.
However the collective compelling story is what Eternal Hope has expressed. This is exactly the situation for people from India/China.
Sure anchor babies is not a great argument for illegals cause it promotes illegal immigration. (In fact I heard in some countries Citizenship by birth only works if the parents are legals. But thats a different story.).
Let us say because of the reasons listed by Eternal Hope we are forced to go back to our home countries.
Firstly, How fair will that be for our children who are Legit Citizens of US.
These innocent kids know only US as their home. Just as much as any other US Citizen. Most of the kids can only speak english. They can barely understand their mother tongue. Point is they are just as American as any American kid.
If they are forced to go to a foreign country, far from their friends and familiar surroundings. Had the change been for the better, still they would feel they were wronged. My guess is they will hold a grudge against us, their parents, and their own country.
This to me is compelling reason, specially since I am a Democrat (sorry can't vote yet).
BTW, my moral support has always with Obama, and with Zoe Loefgren.
Many of us cried when Obama read his oath. That was the defining moment for all people who have been subjected to injustice, been told that they were not good enough because of their race or country of origin. Think about it... The Chinese and Indians having to wait so many years just to get a GC is injustice being done to a people of certain origin. Oh well!

Well it's obvious that it all boils down to what you bring to the table.
But that is with any company, it you're not providing revenue to the company you will get fired.
But at least IBM is not hiring H1B's without having a project in which to put people. I doubt IBM makes people like on their resume, I mean not minor lies, blantant lies like making a Fresh grad show 5 years of experience.
Several Indian consulting firms offered me this.
Hmm, being an Ex-IBM Employee and for the record, let me tell you something. As long as one can charge his or her time to a billable project, no one cares. Otherwise, all you get is a grace period of 2 paychecks to prove the worth of employment. I'm telling you this truth with a verifiable employment history of more than 8 years in USA.
My friend, all that matters is how much revenue one can generate. Just doesn't matter whether you are working for Big5 or small and tiny consulting companies.
Challenge me if i'm wrong

Signed up for recurring payment through my bank, you should see my $20 check by 24th.
A small advice for non contributing members, try skipping your lunch once a week and save $20 a month for IV, this way you help yourself too by loosing those extra pounds.:p
_______________________________________________
Contributed $100 till now and signed for $20 every month.
Thats a great way of looking at it. Hopefully should get some more members motivated.

So are you saying that date will go back in the middle of the month?
I am saying that GC quota can get exhausted in July. It is possible that it gets exhausted early July since very few GCs would be needed in July.
I don't know if there is a law for retrogressing in the middle of a month. If there is no law, then there may be a USCIS procedure. USCIS has been informing when it sets up or breaks a procedure. It has not done it so far. There may be no legal consequence for breaking this procedure.
If there is nothing written (just good faith between lawyers and USCIS) then USCIS will do anything they feel like. They have been doing it for a long time.
Based on info posted in IV threads, it is not a rumour anymore. Else USCIS clarifiaction would have come out or will come out.
