The problem with Per Country limits makes no sense when the same theory is applied to visa's granted because of Skill. Employability has nothing to do with ethnicity (in fact, there are laws that prevent this type of discrimination by employers). It just so happens that currently India and China, due to their educational focus has a lot of people with skills that American industry wants. Who knows, in 10 years this could change and those skills could come from Mauritius and Lichtenstein and then they would be backlogged instead.
Franklin; I agree that per country quotas are discriminatory.
What I am unsure about, is whether it is morally justifiable, and this hinges on whether it actually benefits the United States or not (many forms of discrimination against non-citizens are perfectly legal under the US constitution).
I agree with Hermione, that given the current minuscule quotas the issue is moot (in fact, it was my intention to suggest exactly this, by pointing out that the last thing anyone needs to worry about is per-country quotas when the overall immigration levels are so tiny, and the per-country cap is so small).
I am still on the fence, though, about the moral acceptability of per country quotas in the presence of rationale visa allocations (somewhere around 3 million per year by my estimate). I think at those levels (and with perhaps completely different percentages for the per-country quota) there may indeed be a moral justification (I simply don't know enough about cultural/social dynamics).
I think everyone would agree that the US is certainly entitled to determine how it develops culturally (as is any country).
In its present form of course, the immigration system is damaging the United States (e.g. RBD), so it is impossible for it to be morally acceptable from the US perspective (you can't balance the negative moral implications of discrimination against non-citizens, with the benefits to the citizens of the nation, when there are no benefits to the citizens of the nation).
Significantly, it is most likely true that the present immigration policy is morally acceptable from (say) India's perspective, since it is resulting in improved retention of brain power for India...

Though they are a little expensive, Levitt and Needleman In Newyork proved to be extrmely efficient and quick for me.
I only started my process in january 2006 and i got my perm, approved 140, 485 done this year without any queries or rfe's. They reply to every single email that you send them and return every call that you make. Needleman was an officebearer of AILA don;t know if she still is!

ya in the end i may want to come back to US but you never know if we like it in Canada and my kid settles down there we may end up being there and forget about US :)
For now im surely taking atleast 10 jobs from here.Still your end in mind is US. Ok when I have a job in US and waiting in retrogression, what is the adavantage of having canadian PR and moving there unless otherwise you get a jump in career.
Just becos it is retrogressed and you have canadina PR, there is no advantage in moving to Canada.

OP was never out of status as he was working for one of the employers on proper work authorization all the time. The only question is whether employer X canceled H1 ?Even if they didn't, it is employer's problem not OP's.
Anyways it is better to respond to this query through a lawyer.

First decide whether we are FOR CIR or NOT.
Looks like a lot of people have doubt on this basic question.
The answer is not simple because of the various stages many people are in.
In fact for me CIR in its current state is better. However, for a person who has not cleared the labor, cir will not be favorable, as he/she has to reapply.
In my humble opinion we should just ask for one or two minor things, and this "comprehensive" approach of we are the "pork" in the bill is flawed.
We should at the most ask for the basics. "recapture of past visas", and ability to file I-485 immediately. Highlight that this is only a matter of interpretation by uscis and no major law change. These two points itself will have IMMENSE benefit for us.
Any change that is drastic like removal of visa cap for STEM etc, most likely will forever remain a dream.
I can tell your case. If you apply now by EB you will get gc within 3 to 7 years time. If you apply by point system after 5 years of USA experience and you will have employer sponsor you will have 16 points more than those who are coming fresh to USA. So both point system and EB system you will get at the same time period. Process delay will be minimal as no labor or I140.

Hi,
Looks like TSC is working fast approving EAD renewals. How about NSC? Did any one get EAD renewal approved from NSC?
Thanks
When I applied for EAD in NSC (paper file) it took 45 days to approve. Now I applied EAD for spouse on June 10th, no update so far.

We should not waste our time and money on this. I also would like to understand the lobbying impact of IV. After hearing tech lobby brought CA governor into picture and even that does not make any difference in favor of tech companies, are we making any impact with 200-300 thousand lobbying and some web faxes?
There is no question about IV effort. But the question I have is impact of that effort.
I am not sure why we are still behind this bill and wasting our money and resources,
everyone here needs to realize we don't need to sweeping legislative reform to address our concern, all we need few guidelines to impliment current law in more sensible way,
we simply don't have resources/strenght to address this issue letz not fool ourself anymore and letz put our moeny where mouth is

Thanks for your hard work!
There were some glitches in my plan last evening and I couldn't be around for as long as I anticipated.
After the last weekend drives in NorCal, my own tally rose to 150.
Actually anyone can spend an hour or two on this, and see how easy it is to score at least a hundred!

Ajobha, thank you for starting this thread.
I am actually curious about peoples reasoning behind not attending the rally. I don't think anyone should judge people's decisions, but if we can understand why we didn't succeed in tempting you to come, we can learn for next time.
It sounds like you might be considering going to another county or back home? Ironically, if this is true, it highlights perfectly what one of our key messages was at the rally.
You are a poster child of reverse brain drain. The US needs to keep talent, whether it is home grown or imported. By making the process so grueling, people are starting to leave in droves.
I didn't attended because recently I had a new boss and he was monitoring my daily schedule and being in H1b and coming so close to filing I-485, I was just waiting for my EAD or I-485 cheques to get encashed. On 21st Sep, they got encashed. Now I am bold enough to take a day or two as vacation and attend rally if organized in eastern part.
I did paid 50% travel cost to one of our member from CA.
Sorry for not attending this time, will do it next time.

Every airlines has its onw set of issues - u will get the pinch only when shit hits the fan. My bags were stranded in Dubai and when I reached Chennai I had nothing with me except a small bag with no clothes.
The agents told me - if you have Indian passport then Emirates will give you $$ compensation per day but if you have American passport Emirates will give $$$ per day. They reimbursed me for 2 sets of clothes and shoes and $50 per day for three days because my bags arrived one by one on the third and fourth day after calling them everyday and pressurising them. If we did not call them - the bags would come slower than that. In Dubai the bags were in hot sun and I had choclates inside and somehow the cover broke and choclates melted and seeped through and a I think you all can imagine how it is.
What I am saying is - things are good everywhere unless we get into issues. Things were good until Retrogression hit us here. Now we complain about difference in treatment - but earlier wenever complained.
What I am saying is - when dealing with things outside of your home country - you cannot expect or assume fairness to you.
I would submit that this is far more discriminatory than Air France or any other airline flying via Europe. The European carriers are bogged down by their country's immigration policies, it seems. I flew Air India via Frankfurt once and the German security officials had all Indian passport holders (not possessing a Schengen or transit visa) quarantined in a separate holding area with inadequate seating and restrooms for the hour-and-a-half layover. I can imagine the frustration that would have ensued had there been longer delays.
However, unequal compensation for troubles caused by the airline is entirely a different and unacceptable matter. It is discriminatory and I'm sure it violates some international mandate somewhere.
I disagree that because you are outside your country, you cannot expect to be treated fairly. Unless they have a solid evidence that you have broken a law, they should not treat you any different than any other person.
