This link shows which senators supported and which ones opposed the bill.
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=1&vote=00266
This motion was defeated by a very narrow margin (5 votes)... and you can see that exactly 5 senators abstained.
So, what this implies that some effort needs to go to contacting fence sitters and apprise them of our views and hopefully, get them to support us.
Would appreciate guidance from core team on this....

I filed 485 on July 18 in NSC. I called USCIS on Oct 16 (exactly the 90th day), early in the morning. 1-800-375-5283(1,2,2,6,2,2,1). The lady who picked up said they have introduced a new system to raise a 'Service Request' for those who are waiting for more than 90 days for check clearance. She siad that mine was the first case she was entering into the system. She keyed in my details and gave me a Service Request # and said that an agent will be assigned to my case within two days to look for my application. On Oct 18th, I found that my checks were cleared. But the rec # are not showing on online yet. So, pls call USCIS and raise a service req if you don't see any activity yet, it worked for me, though the rec # s not updated online yet.
I found that my appln was moved from NSC to TSC, as my rec # starts with SRC-08.

Thank you for clarifying snathan. The company will definitely not do anything illegal, in fact it is the legality that is creating challenges. One other question came up today. If a qualified candidates applies for the job (PERM), does the company have to accept the candidate and let me go? All of these questions did not come up while filing EB3 but they are now concerned.
I assume that since you are currently in EB3, your current job description is different from the job description for which your company (if they agree) will initiate the EB2 PERM process for. Also, the EB2 PERM process will be for "future employment" for the different job position than the one you currently hold (I am assuming this, in the absence of any other data), so they might not need to let you go, if they get any responses.
If they get any responses to the EB2 advertisement, they will have to consider those applicants and provide them the same opportunity and diligence that they would to anyone applying for that position. If they do not find any of the applicants suitable for the position, they must have very strong and valid reasons why they cannot hire any of the respondents. Only in case they are unable to hire anyone of the respondents, can they even continue with the labor certification filing.
Also, many employers are fairly certain that they will get many responses to job advertisements and hence they do not want to go through the process for hiring a lawyer etc. etc. etc. and initiating the labor certification process for GC, when they can directly hire someone from the market.

It would be beneficial to analyze web immigration articles and post your valuable comments. Any visa number analysis is pure speculation. Let us make ourselves heard. To begin with, please visit the following web pages ....

Hi all,
I know the Forums are still pretty active but is the IV Organisation itself still active?
I came across the IV website yesterday and was really stuck by the mission statement of the Organisation. I did not think twice - went ahead and got registered and made one time donation. I even voted for one of the polls for Sep 18 rally and making plans to visit DC but only to realise today that it was really old one :) Also when I was reviewing the forums today I realised that most of the activities seem to be around years 2006-2007 - like Fundraising Campaign or Media News ,etc.
Appreciate anyones response to let me know if IC is still active. Please do not direct any personal attacks. I did not need to explore GC info so far since my GC was started only during March of 2010 & got my Lc approved only yesterday.
If the organisation is still active, I am looking forward to joing the CT chapter. Thanks!
It IS active.
Welcome and good luck!

Guys,
If we cannot even contribute $10 PER MONTH, that is really really cheap of us.
eb3,
with all due respect, I really doubt if this is the bet way to get people to donate. Calling people cheap is not a nice thing and generally not recommended.
I know your intentions are good and ...

Thanks for your response
As per my employer adv :
Required degree : Masters degree in Engineering or related field (no experience)
The education evaluation was done from ITES inc., I have got this for applying H1B in Apr 2005, which includes my prior experience. We have used the same education evaluation for I-140 in Aug'07. Since the experience was combined in my education evaluation, CIS is now asking for a new evaluation based solely on education.
If you cld submit an eval just for education, you shld be ok

Your post deserves to be deleted. You seem to lose sight of the real issue and instead resort to preaching from the relative anonymity of your digital pulpit. There are families that are worse off for having ITIN and unable to get an economic stimulus check that is intended to help kick start the economy NOW. Preaching that they can submit an ammended return sometime in the future is a moot point. Catch the irony? Economic stimulus is to help the economy now. Now. Now. Let's try that 3 more times.

My attorney received a letter saying "Intent to Deny" reason being not having Mats in graduation.
But the fact is I have Maths and I did 4 Math courses in graduation and provisional clearly shows maths1, Maths2, maths3, maths4.
Letter says Vallabhu has done Courses in Sanskrit,English, Physics and Geology but nothing in Maths.
and This how each year of transcripts look like
Physics1
Maths1
Geology1
Physics2
Maths2
Geology2
Physics3
Maths3
Maths4
Geology3
I don't know how can he miss Maths from this.
Does any one else heard/faced a similar issue in the past.
What does your attorney say? Respond asap with copies of your transcripts highlighting the maths related courses...

I have my I-20 from University X, but I don't have the I-20 form from University Y.
Contact the International Students Office in University Y. Most colleges keep a copy of your I20. You can use that copy.
Also, SEVIS has a record of all the I20s issued to you and the colleges and degrees you completed.

Yes! The comprehensive Immigration Bill is the best remedy not just address the issues facing the Arizona Law or any other state that wants to follow the footsteps ............ but for us too. There has been no legislation for employment based immigrants for many years now, and we are stuck in impossible situations - Yes CIR is a way for us too!

Thanks so much for the responses.
I have my receipt number. And I am trying to get a hod of my case folder from th company lawyer.
"As such you do not need H1 due to new rule on OPT, however; you need to check if the H1 was applied for change of status? If it is a change of status application, you need to probably inform USCIS that you will not be changing status to H1."
Is there any way I can check if th H1 was applied for change of status without information from the company lawyer?
Thanks again.
The change of status would have been effective in october. You do not need to inform USCIS until september. As a matter for your benefit, avoid it telling to USCIS until september. Check with previous company's lawyer if they applied change in status. The attorney will tell you that. I-94 that comes with H1 status change, and is your property and you can demand that from the company. If they do not cooperate, inform USCIS anyway.
