Top 5 Concerns Regarding Employment-Based Immigration in Senate Bill
1. Decimation of Employment-Based Immigration System: � Eliminates first, second, and third employment-based immigration categories. � �Merit-based" point system completely disconnects employment-based immigration from employers, who have only a negligible role in new system and are unable to sponsor specific employees for permanent residence. � No provisions for multinational managers, extraordinary ability aliens, outstanding professors or researchers. � No labor market test required to protect native-born workers. 2. Lack of Path to Permanent Status for Future Flow Essential and Highly Skilled Workers: � New Y temporary worker program would create a constantly churning workforce, as it provides only a two-year nonimmigrant visa and requires workers to leave the U.S. for one year before being eligible to renew their work visa for a subsequent 2-year period. Maximum 6 years in Y status. � Carve-out of 10,000 green cards per year for "essential" Y workers, but no bridge to allow essential and highly skilled but non-degreed workers a path to eventual permanent lawful status. 3. Lack of Adequate Numbers of Future Green Cards for Employment-Based Immigrants: � Totally inadequate immigrant visa numbers (approximately 140,000 new green cards per year until the family backlogs are cleared over an 8 year period). � Future legal immigration program (after 8 years of family backlog clearance) limited to 380,000 �point system� visas, guaranteeing that new backlogs will grow immediately, and that undocumented immigration will continue. � Totally inadequate carve-outs for essential workers. 4. Gaps in Green Card Availability � Immigrant visa petitions filed after May 15, 2007 on the basis of the current employment-based preference system will be rejected. � During the period between May 15, 2007 and the date the new merit based system is up and running (likely October 1, 2008), no new employment-based green card applications can be filed. 5. Decimation of H-1B Program: � Adds new restrictions prohibiting employers from obtaining H-1B workers where formal degrees do not exactly correlate to proposed positions.
� Eliminates dual intent for both H-1B and L non-immigrants. This would interfere with companies� ability to recruit someone from a U.S. university and seek a green card for them while employing them on an H-1B. � Overregulates legitimate H-1B employers by subjecting all H-1B employers to burdensome rules currently applied to �willful violators� and H-1B dependent employers. � Huge increase in H-1B fees (from current $1500 to new $5000 by Sanders amendment) o Will force companies to move projects and U.S. jobs to overseas facilities, and will make it all but impossible for many businesses to stay competitive. o Will inflict disproportionate pain on small firms and American innovators. o Additional fees for filing, premium processing, recruitment and training, antifraud, compliance and other legal and administrative costs can amount to $9,000 just to secure initial H-1B approval. o H-1B employers already contribute more than $127.5 million per year to U.S. job training and scholarships through existing fees. This training and scholarship fund would go up to over $200 million per year even if the H-1B cap were only raised to 115,000, as currently proposed. o Scholarship and training fees U.S. companies now pay for each H-1B professional hired are approaching $2 billion since 1999. o These fees have funded more than 40,000 scholarships for U.S. students in math and science through the National Science Foundation, hands-on science programs for 80,000 middle and high school students and 3,700 teachers, and training for more than 55,000 U.S. workers and professionals. o U.S. businesses pay over $91 billion a year in state and local taxes directed toward public education. o Increased H-1B fees are nothing more than a tax on innovation that will end up driving U.S. jobs overseas by making it more difficult to hire the highly educated talent America needs. � American professionals in "computer and mathematical" occupations are at virtual full employment, with a low annual unemployment rate of 2.4 percent in 2006. Cutting off the supply of H-1B talent will only hurt American competitiveness. � The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects growth of 100,000 jobs a year in computer and math science occupations between 2004 and 2014, the highest of all white collar professional categories. Note Re: Possible Amendments:
Cantwell Amendment (#1249) One amendment that has been �filed,� but is not currently �pending� is the Cantwell amendment which is very important to business immigration interests. We do not know at this time what will happen with this amendment � whether it will come to the floor for debate or be negotiated through unanimous consent into the final package. Nevertheless,
it is important to let senators know that this amendment is strongly supported by businesses. The Cantwell amendment would set up a parallel and complementary employer-sponsored merit-based program. This �employer-sponsored� stream would let companies determine the skill sets that they need and would like to sponsor for a green card and this employer-sponsored merit based system would provide 140,000 visas separate and in addition to those currently in the bill. This amendment would protect U.S. workers by applying labor market tests to employer sponsorship of foreign workers. In addition to dealing with employment-based green cards, this amendment also addresses some of the �grand bargain�s� changes to the H-1B program by striking the presumption of �immigrant intent� and restoring the �degree equivalency� provision. Furthermore, the amendment, while maintaining the provisions to strengthen H-1B enforcement in the bill, would eliminate overregulation of legitimate H-1B employers by striking provisions that would require every employer comply with burdensome rules that currently apply only to �willful violators� and to employers with excessive numbers of H-1B employees.
Durbin-Grassley Amendment (#1231) There will also possibly be a vote on a Durbin-Grassley amendment. The amendment would strike provisions in the bill that allow the Secretary of Labor to determine whether or not there is a shortage of U.S. workers in the occupation and area of intended employment for which a Y nonimmigrant is sought. This amendment would require employers to follow extensive hiring and recruitment procedures even in areas where there labor shortages as determined by the Secretary of Labor.

Yes. If your visa is current in July. Then you have whole July to apply. Even if you deliver on Sundays. but i have no idea whether they accept application on Sunday's..
Now with this bulletin, is it not dates are CURRENT for the entire month of July?
Can any one please explain, if August bulletin (say released on 10 or 12 th of July ) can change it. That is can August bulletin change PD effective July?

Senator Hilary Clinton introduced an amendment to exempt apllicant's dependents from visa quotos, which will reduce the retrogression signifcantly, why Core choose the Coryn's not supporting Hilary Clinton's? She is very likly to be our future president.
Her amendment is only for family-based petitions....not for employment based petitions, it will do nothing to alleviate retrogression.

I think we can wait till Aug 15th for I-140 receipt and if we don't get that (:( :mad: :confused: ) then we can file I-485 with the mailroom instructions from the FAQ (:) :) )
I don't recomened to wait until Aug 15th...since there may be postal delays/package missings, etc.,...very recently happend to me with UPS overnight (aqfter 3days of investigation - tjhey simply said package is missing)....so guys consider some factor of safety time...i would suggest don't want more than Aug 10th.....

If USCIS realizes their mistake and revokes an approved I485, will they also take the necessary steps to restore the previous status of the applicant? i.e. H1/H4/AOS/EAD or what ever the wrongly approved person had prior to the approval mistake?

To add to this.. Some will think that something good just going to happen since next year is election.. Not sure what makes them think that..
Some are extremely negative-- They will say doesn't matter what you guys do,nothing will happen.
Those with negative opinions - they do not do much in life too - most of these wake up late in morning, go to work, watch TV , lazy in weekends , play cards, chat on phone , always spend a lot of hours on the internet researching for some crappy deals on electronic goods - the time, if well spent is worth more than what they save on buying the item.
Though it is difficult to change their attitude - it is possible, we must be persistent in our effort.

Core IV,
How does the House version of SKIL compare blow by blow with the senate provisions for EB in CIR. Does House version of SKIL include recapture of unused visas as well as a raise which was part of the CIR. Compete America report only talks about excluding spouse and depenedents in the House SKIL version for EB visa numbers
If you have some analysis can you please post. Thank You !
Very good news indeed.
In the US politics for some reason, certain issues seem to get clubbed together.
Sometimes it suits our purposes and at other times it is vexing. Clearly our issue of legal immigration does not create the type of backlash from conservative republicans that the issue of illegal immigration does. Hence when our circumstances necessitate that we have to try to board the CIR train to our goals I consider it unfortunate.
On the other hand when it comes to H1b immigration, every H1b increase has corresponded with some sort of provision(mainly recapture) of EB visas also. H1b increase has tremendous support and pressure from the powerful capitalist forces in this country. Just see how the Wall street Journal and Pres.Bush gives publicity to this issue. I doubt pure EB provisions can get that sort of visibility in spite of the tremendous work of organisations like IV.
In that sense the H1b cap being exhausted indirectly gives our issue more visibility and is a good development. Lets wait until the 20K US masters cap is also filled, then publicity will increase even more.
All in all it looks good that something will work for us by the end of this year. The pressure is building on congress to do something about EB immigration.

My employer did not even bother When i talked about this. They are happy with just recruiting desperate and non desperate H1bs. Many of us are addicted to the US. We will not leave despite any indignity or humiliation. You have a weakness and it will be used. Way of life.
So let us continue to be indentured for many years. What never ceases to maze me is despite so much work by IV, big employers, faxes, emails the govt has done nothing. Seriously, there is a bigger issue here. See how they acted to get more nurses ? That is not happening here.I think all concerned are sure, EB guys will sit out even if it takes 10 more years. So , let us sit it out, bcos it seems like we aint got no place to go. Right ?

Background: I am on 7th year of H1B (7-10 year extension based on approved 140). My H1stamping is valid till 2010. Applied 485 on Aug 1st 2007. Did not apply for EAD/AP.
Loosing job in my company is becoming realistic scenario in near future(no predictions yet) so...
Scenario 1: If in next few weeks (before 180days or AC21) I have to change Jobs, Can my new employer just transfer H1B (since H1B was extended on approved 140 Hence the confusion) or do they have to go through PERM + 140 and then do H1B transfer ? What happens if my employer revoke 140 (based on which i had the H1 extension) Do I loose ability to transfer H1B?
Scenario 2: If after 180 days (from aug 1st) I have to change job (using AC21) ..can my H1 be transferred to another employer without having a labor / 140 or will the new employer have to go through PERM + 140 to transfer H1?
I understand EAD is an option so I will apply for EAD but looking at number of applications it may be months before I get EAD card.
Thanks in advance

not be as simple as H1 renewal. G325 is pretty important form. The information provided on it is wrong. They could treat it as falsifying document.
OP please contact your lawyer asap.
Thanks gcformeornot, for your response.
Info I provided on G325 is correct. I have only worked for 'Employer #1' and 'Employer #2', which I entered in G325. I have never worked for 'Employer X' and I did not mention 'Employer X' in G325.
Thanks.
