Tech firms, upset about the provisions in the bill related to visas for skilled foreign workers, known as H-1Bs, are not yet saying whether they would oppose it.
Instead, they are banking on an amendment to be offered by Sens. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., John Cornyn, R-Texas, Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. that would exempt from the H-1B annual cap foreign workers with advanced degrees from U.S. universities or with advanced degrees in science, technology, engineering and math.

if competeamerica, tech industry etc are waiting for this amendment so a good guess is that it would get introduced to be voted upon

But still the good news is everyone would be able to get their EADs and escape from the clutches of H-1B renewals and restrictions of remaining with the same employer etc. It's freedom to work anywhere! Doesn't matter when actually the I485 gets approved, until then you're free of H-1B tension at least. This is a big leap forward.

FYI:
- I heard from my friends that their's approved within a month and they did regular paper filing.
- e-Filing needs ASC appointment for Bio stuff; Looks like, that delays atleast few weeks than paper filing.
- And, lot of us are waiting for 2 Yr EAD if EAD is not required ot apply before June 30th. That reduces the load too.

very funny! :D
That's why there is a saying that you should never watch sausages and laws being made.
The Cantwell amendment and Lieberman amendment will fail to pass the vote. It doesnt matter whether its ordered to lie on table or whether its ordered to take a nap on the table or have some lemonade on the table. And it doesnt matter what any of those "Motion to... " means.
Both of those amendments, if debated, will fail. It will take 10 seconds for Bernie Sanders, Ted Kennedy and Dick Durbin to scream on top of their lungs and kill it. And the reason is very simple. There is a massive H1B exemption ON TOP OF 180,000 QUOTA. People who have been so successful this year so far in restricting H1 and employment based GCs are not going to miss that nice little H1 exemption at the bottom of both these amendments. So stop scratching your heads over what the "lying on table" means, because whatever is lying on table is unpassable if it somehow awakes from the table and starts dancing in the well of the senate floor.

As per member priderock's post the LAY ON THE TABLE description from THOMAS means that the Cantwell AMDT has been killed .
But then why is AILA saying this on their post : http://www.aila.org/content/default.aspx?docid=22481
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.
From AILA's description it would seem that the Amendment is does not have the status "lie on the table" as that would mean that the amendment has been killed with no possibility of coming up but AILA's description as to possible future of the amendment is to the contrary.

A quick question on the side - I contributed to IV yesterday, do I need to inform someone to grant me access to donor forms?
Want to make sure, not missing out on any important actions or discussions in the donor forum.
Thanks.

Based on last week's BusinessWeek article, I have a feeling that we will see an effort to restrict initial H1B applications in some way. That would be a good opportunity to push for allowing naturalization applications for people who have been on work visas for a long time (say 8-10 yrs?). Fighting for citizenship would have a stronger emotional dimension and may connect better with the American public. A direct filing for citizenship will work around retrogression by providing an avenue for people to move out of the GC queue.
That would be nice. Citizenship for people who have been on visa and been in the country legally for a number of years. But I doubt it will happen anytime soon.

There's one BIG difference - taxpaying we may be (I hate tax time... !!! :) - we certainly are not Americans yet - not even close.
Though we may enjoy the American way of life, and may have already integrated or have the capability and willingness to do so in this great melting pot of cultures much faster and more transparently than other immigrants (ready with the brickbats... ?) - we're long way from becoming Americans.
Just to set the record straight...

Doesn't it sound rude... they celebrate, feast and we fast. If we admire this country for giving us so much we should also show our support and adopt the culture and celebrate with them to show we are tax paying Americans who enjoy in American way.
We can show our protest by sending 1-wish for our own GC ( may be in the form of Christmas tree ornament) to all law makers. Everybody makes a wish and our wish is GC.

140 reached NSC on July 11.
Receipt date is July 17, attorney says they got it today, July 24.
So for those at NSC who filed within a day or two of me, mght be better to hold off for a couple of days before filing 485 with the colored sheet which will probably add some delays in the mailroom
mine reached NSC on July 16th...hopefully i ll recieve it by next week.

While I am happy for you about your canadian experience.
I am unable to understand the need to contradict yourself ?
"Saw the myths and tragedy of US GC process very closely. Didn't want to spoil peace of life and my hard earned money with USCIS and lawyers........But I can go out of Canada and enter any time and as many time as I want. Can you do that too????
......you’ll succeed anywhere in this world, be it in US, Canada or Australia. Don’t blame it on a country, but look at yourself."
I had been there in US for 7 yrs (3 yrs in L2->1yr out of US->4 Yrs in H1B). Saw the myths and tragedy of US GC process very closely. Didn't want to spoil peace of life and my hard earned money with USCIS and lawyers:mad:. Didn’t look at the US GC application and applied for Canadian PR. Came to Canada with PR last year from US. Peacefully settled in Toronto with nice job and benefits, bought my brand new car 4 months back. Nice and friendly people and government. Happy to be in Canada. No more stamping issues, tons of junk paper works, consulate visit PA and wired look from immigration officers at POE…. enough…. I am not going back to US even for a visit in next 5 yrs..…
But I can go out of Canada and enter any time and as many time as I want. Can you do that too???? :D
To those who are portraying wrong picture of Canada, all I can say, if you have skills, personality and capability, you’ll succeed anywhere in this world, be it in US, Canada or Australia. Don’t blame it on a country, but look at yourself.
Just my 2 cents.

Hi,
Here is our situation. I am on H1 and have 485 pending for me and my wife. Both of us also have a valid EAD.
My wife was on H1 too, however since Oct'08 she relinquished her H1 status and took up another job using her EAD. Currently, we are planning to have her AP filed (her earlier AP expired in Dec'08).
Given all this, I have following questions.
a). Are there any risks associated with filing AP.
b). I presume her status has been valid so far... reason I ask is that we didn't do anything special in terms of communicating any official agency, when she jumped the boat from H1 to EAD. Were we supposed to?
c). Do you think I can get her on H4 while she continues to work using her EAD. I guess H4 option is more expensive? Any thoughts?
Appreciate any help/pointers on this.
Thanks
No risk associated with filing AP at all
You did not have to inform any official agency but she should have filed an I9 form (i think thats the form) when she used EAD for work
You cannot be on H4 and EAD either or

Pls excuse my ignorance, but what does BUNNYBOY & fdbl mean?
Bunnyboy is a member of IV's forum and he had a magic sequence number to call USCIS, that will hit the USCIS IO not the CS dept.
Fdbl another name of fragomen. I wanted to say that fragomen lawers are well respected within USCIS. The IO was very polite after hearing my case was filed though fragomen.
Till now i or my wife does not have any RFE throughout our L1/L2 to GC. Now GC is in hand.
I know they are little slow, but you have to followup to make it fast. One thing is they donot take shortcut in process. Thats the reason many are frustrated. Desi lawers and companies can go to any extent and we should not compare that with a professional law firm.

I think it is not fair on your part to say that current IV core has not achieved anything. To form an organization and getting people with similar interests and problems in itself is a major task.
It is very easy to say fancy things like "nada, zitto, zapata..."..(I dont even know what the last thing means). I am not sure even if you or me get into their shoes we would be able to operate in manner which delivers results in a matter of weeks.
Please do think I am snipping at you personally. I too am someone who is suffering from the pain caused by this GC mirage like you and I completely empathize with you.

Moving "back" implies directionality, whereas moving "faster" implies speed - these two are as unalike as chalk and cheese. How does your interpretation refute those speculations? :)

If 32k calculation is correct (which looks like - yes), then EB2 is not just fixed for time being, it will be fixed for ever. In turn, it will help all our EB friends going forward.
Based on your calculation its 27849 additional visas + 1/3 of 9,800 (=3,266) = 31115 for EB2 India for 2008 fiscal year and the coming years ahead.
So this is almost 10 times more visas fo EB2 India. So EB2 is going to be fixed for the time being.
