Thanks Andy for something authentic. What is VCO advisory? Does this advisory reset dates in VB?
The AILA memo says this:
We have been informed that USCIS HQ has instructed the NSC and TSC to reject employment based I-485 applications in the third preference �Other Workers� based on a memo sent by the DOS�s VO to USCIS advising that as of June 6, 2007, there would be no further authorization of visa numbers in this category.
According to this the VO or VCO can advise CIS to stop asking for numbers.
Is this a violation of the law?
Of course not.
AILA is trying to establish a precedent by saying that only the VB is the one that should determine the visa availabulity.

Seeing the way the health care bill is going, none of the EB3 folks are seeing any hope for CIR.
I also do not have hopes on CIR. We really are in hopeless situation.

Hello Guys,
For the next few months, we can either point finger at others (EB3 to EB2 and EB2 to EB1) or we can think through and come up with some solution for everyone. I don't know if pointing finger will help, but thinking and trying MIGHT. Do you guys think we should do that instead of looking at how guys are misusing EB1 ?
Flowers, some "public gathering and march", etc...

How long does it take for a decision under EB2? I know the usual is 90 days but from your experiances is there a chance of an approval earlier?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Guys,
What do I make out of this? U think once assigned to an officer thgs shud start moving? Or...even after getting assigned to an IO thgs can go bad? Has any thing of that sort also happened? Just curious so I can be prepared...
Thanx
I don't think so. The only thing that could have happened is that a RFE on any further information. But becuase of the pre-adjudication the chances of an RFE is very very minimal, I will say down to ZERO.
So be happy and just keep your fingers crossed to hear the good news!!!

So much for increase in fee and supposed increase in efficiency!
May be double the fee justifies 'card production ordered' alert twice....
I e-filed renewal EAD on 5/27, had FP on 6/23 and still waiting any followup action.
With every passing day it looks like USCIS is terribly confused on how to go about per recent 2-yr validity :
1. To approve: 2-yr EAD for those who are not current
2. To approve: 1-yr EAD for those who are current and might get GC in a yr
3. to issue GC instead of EAD for those who are current/ripe/ low-hanging-fruits (I-140 approved/cases processed/no problems)
But, this looks like too much ask for USCIS. They are used to do simple things like: approve or deny and approving everyone for a sinlge time duration.
Let us hope for the best and see what happens in the coming week.

Attended 2010 event.
Plan to attend 2011 advocacy event.
This was in 2007, there is no rally in 2011 (just powerful advocacy from grassroots), but every thing in here holds true today too.....
by chanduv23
Subject: A peaceful rally at Washington DC by Highly Skilled Workers
Immigration Voice (ImmigrationVoice.org - Home (http://www.immigrationvoice.org)) is a non profit
grassroots advocacy group working to alleviate the issues of Highly
Skilled Foreign Workers who are stuck in the Employment Based Green
Card Process stuck in Bureaucratic Logjams.
Immigration Voice is conducting a peaceful rally in Washington DC on
September 18th, 2007 (Tuesday).
You can/must participate in the rally if
(1) You are in various stages of the Green Card Process
(2) Belong to a retrogressed group
(3) Highly Skilled worker (Physicians, Engineers on H1B visa, J1
Waiver, L1 etc�) and planning to apply/already applied for a Green
Card
(4) If your families are divided by backlogs and retrogression.
Thousands of families are being potentially torn apart due to their
kids �aging out�. These children are victims of something they have no
control over and they are constantly forgotten.
(5) Current students studying in various universities (from other
countries) but will be applying for Green Card soon or later
(6) If you already have a Green Card or a Citizen, you can provide
support and encouragement
Please make it a point to attend the rally. Please invite your
friends, relatives, co-workers and colleagues to the Rally. Please
spread this message through mailing lists, media contacts, Orkut and
other social networking media. If you are students, please send this
email to various student organizations. If you work for companies,
please send this message to managers, co-workers, employers etc.
If you are not already a member at Immigration Voice, please become a
member today. It is easy and free!
Please follow this link for more details on the Rally

A lot of people may be wondering why should we even bother about this.
Some FAQs
(1) What's all this? Immigration Voice? Rally? Why should I care?
A. There is a political angle to issues that we are all facing. The
system was designed long time back and has not been flexible and with
the actual demand more than the capacity it is in a messed up state.
No one has made attempts to fix the mess and vote bank politics are
creating further mess.
(2) Why no one talks about these things?
a. The nature of this issue is very complex. Unless one falls into
this pit, the nature of this issue cannot be understood
b. A lot of people do not want to handle the truth and reality
c. Perception - without looking at the real picture, lot of people
assume things are fine
(3) Why should I take these issues seriously, my lawyer will take care
of these?
a. Immigration lawyers assist and handle the paperwork, this mess is
beyond their control or scope or even the scope of USCIS and related
government agencies
b. Immigration lawyers are your service providers and you are their
client, they will talk only business to you, there is no need for them
to explain to you the mess you are in
(4) After the July visa bulletin fiasco, I did submit my 485 petition,
and I will get an EAD/AP so why must I bother?
a. EAD/AP were designed to be interim benefits (only for few months
until someone can get a Green Card), their usage has limitations and
will lead to further issues
b. Severe retrogression will hit in coming fiscal years. India, China,
Mexico, Philippines, Eb3, and eb2, and ROW eb3 will all be affected,
c. Anti immigration lobby is targeting H1b tech workers, at the same
time a lot of lobbying organizations are working hard to make the
system unworkable for e.g.. Durbin Grassley amendments may appear
anytime
d. Until you get a Green Card in Hand, EAD is not the best viable
alternative for work and AP is definitely not the best travel
document.
(5) Why Immigration Voice? What is the agenda?
a. Immigration Voice is the only grassroots organization working hard
on these issues
b. Immigration Voice's earlier campaigns were a huge success and sent strong signals to government agencies and law makers
So why not start working on helping yourself and helping your fellow
immigrants?

Immigration reform will not take place unless the lack of reform costs the government. Now, we all know that H1-Bs pay Social Security Tax and Medicare Tax. Also, according to the rules, we are not eligible for the benefits. Considering the average pay of a H1-B is $60000. This unfair tax amounts to about $2300 per/year/person. Now there are about 350,000 H1-B stuck in Labor for the past 2-3 years. The total amount in unfair tax is nearly
$2.4 BILLION!!! (I am being very conservative about this figure)
Maybe they will pay attention if a lawsuite is filed to recover these taxes..
Just my two cents worth...
