What is this reverse brain drain ? there is no such thing - folks who are here are going to hang on tooth & nail to stay here come hell or high water - the only ones who are going back are the ones who have no other option.

Some of us are in Eb3 because of our experience, some of us are in EB3 because of circumstances (I had 7 years exp when my GC was files, but 3 years out of it was spent as consultant in my current employer place. Hence we could use only 4 years as exp and hence EB3), some of us are in EB3 because of lazy lawyers.
We cannot blame EB2 or any other category for thinking for themselves. That is just human nature. I have done everything to support IV and will continue to do so, be it letters, faxes, calls or money. But I also know that no one is going to fight for Eb3-I. Once my EB2 friends get their GC, there may be no IV remaining. That is OK with me. I will still contribute.
All I want from EB2 people is to stop making fun of EB3 cracking jokes about losers, etc. You never know when destiny takes a U-turn. It may as well happen that all EB3-I get their GC and the joke crackers never get it. So please, EB2 should enjoy their forward movement of dates. But please do not make fun of EB3-I.
Thanks.

Why did John Cornyn's bill want to recapture only unused numbers from 1996 and 1997, why not 1998 also?

No, EB3 ROW can use all the available EB3 ROW numbers. But the unused EB2 (ROW/Mex/Phil) have been distributed to the oversubscribed countries.
That's how I interpret that.
The popular belief was that the unused EB2 ROW would first go EB3 ROW but according to this they actually go to the oversubscribed countries in the same category (EB2)
does this mean that EB3 ROW can't use all available visa for 3rd qtr that is why there were visas available for India EB2 (hence the established cutoff date of Dec 2003). but this should only happen if EB3 ROW is current but it is not.
this does not make sense. anybody????
Section 202(a)(5) of the Immigration and Nationality Act provides that if total demand will be insufficient to use all available numbers in a particular Employment preference category in a calendar quarter, then the unused numbers may be made available without regard to the annual �per-country� limit. It has been determined that based on the current level of demand being received, primarily by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices, there would be otherwise unused numbers in the Employment Second preference category. As a result, numbers have once again become available to the India Employment Second preference category. The rate of number use in the Employment Second preference category will continue to be monitored, and it may be necessary to make adjustments should the level of demand increase substantially.

Hey Tampacoolie...
With due respect ..man ..please do not highjack my thread.....please start a new one if you have a query...what you have posted is no way relevant to the one I opened...
My apologies :eek:
I have checked receipt# and it was my wife's new H1 approval not my H1 transfer. Her H1 was returned to USCIS as non-delivered and I think this must be duplicate copy status update. We had received her H1 approval 3 weeks ago. Damn this USCIS is so slow to update their records. Two many petitions in my online portfolio leads to this confusion. I wish they could add one text box next to each petition and add my own description.

We received the RFE for the Td vaccine that was missed somehow by Concentra. But since she is nursing now, we were able to get a blanket Waiver for her.
Sameet,
I know it is a weird question. But I'd still go ahead and ask it.
What documents that USCIS expects for a scenario like this?
My situation: My wife still hasn't weaned off nursing completely.
My child is 1 year 3 months old. My wife got an RFE for TB test.
Plus she is in India currently.
Would sending the birth certificate of child be enough to prove the existence of 1 yr 3 month old child? OR would USCIS requires doctors's input also? OR do they require anything else to prove baby is still being nursed.?
Thansk for your response,
GCisaDawg

Apparently, the number of cases sent back is small, however, so that is good news. And you should have received the case back by now if you're in that group"

Folks,
This my copyright and very much pertain to our situation:
*********************
I left my world in search of prosperity
The prosperity is taking an eternity
My struggle is long and daunting
Making it more and more frustrating
Life at times seems uncontrollable
Flowing with the time unstoppable
Graying hairs testify for the feeling
Fat belly making me further unappealing
Sometimes I think of going back
Try to gather the courage that I lack
But the world I left is not the same any more.
And the world I am in, has lost its lure.
I am on the crossroad of my life
One is forward, one is left and other is right.
I don�t like the choices shown
May be I would have to create a world of my own
***************
Thanks
Good one, Thats what we are now .:)

Lets move on and focus on this main topic...
Here are my observations.. Correct me if I am wrong..
1. L1 option for IT is essentially killed
2. Small IT companies will limit the headcount to 50 per company. It doesn't cost much to have more than one company. So no major changes to H1B Desi companies.
3. Most of the big American companies will not offer new H1B with 180 days, since most of them would have had layoffs.
4. Most IT companies will start spending a lot on lawyers. So they will be rich. There will be lot of audits.
5. Companies will complete PERM and I140 before getting a guy onsite, only if people are really interested in coming to USA any longer.
6. Need more clarity on where H1B outsourcing will be stopped...

I can understand your feelings.
As of now, the only solution is to support IV to push for getting wasted numbers back and removing per country quota.
-GCCovet
Guys!!!
Had it been the year like 1999 with all the efforts from IV, I am defintely sure the CIR reforms would have passed by now.
Issue here is the economy, recession looming large on our face, unemployment level rising, and no one knows whats going to happen in the next two-three years becuase of credit crisis and oil price going above the roof. If this continues for another year, we will be in deep s***.
Thats why no will dare to increase the workforce by issuing more grren cards. Atleast we should feel happy that they havent stopped issuing the cards.
I know its painful to be waiting for years to get a GC. But you do not know how green that card will stay if the current financial crisis continues for 2-3 years.
Fact is, this country is going thru a difficult period of uncertainty. Because of election year rhetoric, no one is going to accept it. But clearly, its not in their interest to get more workforce into this country. They know we have been waiting, and will continue to wait. Look at 2002/2003/2004, when they issued only 20K visas for the entire year. So just hope that things will get bright for this country soon else, we are in for an another hell ride.

Its not my fault that someone from Europe doesnt want to come here and not so many from Africa or south america qualify for the EB visas.
As one of the 'not so many from south america that qualify for the EB visa', this comment just further draws me away from this forum.
Do you really think the 10k or so wasted visas will honestly make a dent in the demand? I highly doubt that the wasted visas are caused by ROW not applying or 'qualifying' because last time I checked there was still retrogression.

I'm sure there are some intelligent and caring lawmakers somewhere who listen to legal immigrants' plight. They don't seem to be in enough or meaningful numbers. Most are interested in either keeping their seats or serving a subsection of their community.
Again, I believe they are moved mostly by lobbyists and other power groups. I don't yet fully understand how much power IV can wield, but IV could be one such group.
Lawmakers care about high-skilled immigrants only because people like B. Gates, Compete America and such keep lobbying any and all the time.
BTW, I'm not at all short-sighted about this. I'm just more realistic about how things happen in Washington. Need proof: For example, look at the staffers on McCain's campaign. Most are lobbyists. Understanding how democracy works in America and commenting about it is what the real big picture is.

Calling does help in many ways. People have to think positive rather than berating an effort.
Based on the original post, I infer that lawmakers won't care if they receive calls from LEGAL Aliens. If that is the logic then why do you think that lawmakers will work on "immigration" bills. After all the "immigration" bills only benefit folks who don't vote immediately. But one of lawmakers duty is to build the next generation America, and "immigration" bills benefit next generation America. People got to understand this fundamental difference and stop being pessimistic about IV efforts.
Directly talking to lawmakers office (through phone or in person) is far more effective than Web faxes and digital signatures.
I just cannot understand how high-skilled folks can be so short sighted, Look at the big picture.

I read the text again, and found that text is under 'Sub Title A - H1B Application Requirement', does that mean the new application has to meet the requirement but existing H1B holders are allowed to work until the end of their I-94 date? It would create a turmoil to stop all H1B contractor all in a sudden.
Anyway, let's hope the professional analysis from Pappu and attorney come out early
That is the problem with us isn't it? We try to first figure out if something that is a potentially bad legislation applies to ME, MYSELF and MY OWN SELF first, if not then we simply shrug, bury our heads in the sand and do not act for the greater good of the community. That is precisely what happened 2 months ago when Grassley/Durbin went after the smaller consulting (staffing) companies and when those companies tried to garner support from the biggies, there was no help. The big consulting companies including the outsourcing companies thought that the demise of staffing/consulting companies would land them more business and the displaced H1Bs, not realizing it was just the first step of the Antis in their direction as well. Well now, everybody has been given the jolt of electricity.
Sadly it should not have come to this point. We always bicker and fight among ourselves (I am NOT picking on you or saying you are at fault) i.e. EB2 vs EB3, H1B vs L1, US Masters vs non-Masters, H1B with FT jobs vs H1B in C2C, staffing/consulting companies vs Big Consulting, Outsourcing companies vs non-outsourcing etc etc... the list goes on.
We, and I mean everybody I just described above, need to have the foresight to see every "divide and conquer" attack / technique that the antis throw at us and look past our differences and unite under IV's umbrella. Sigh..

Did the doctor not give you your copy when you did your medicals ? Also the shots taken should be listed on the immunization card.
My bet is the doctor may charge you some amount for giving the forms in a sealed envelope again.
btw, I am in the same boat as you. Application reached on 7/2. No rejection notice or receipt notice as yet.
PD-APRIL 04
140 APPROVED- 04/07
485 APPLICATION REACHED TSC-07-02
NO REJECTION YET OR NO RECEIPT NOTICE YET.
CHECKED CASHED -NOT YET
Called service center -she said they sent all the applications back but if thats the case we should have gotten it by now.
What if we dont get any receipt notice or rejected papers till the end of this month..do we have to recreate our medical sealed envelop again? what if the doc do not have anything on the computer and can not make copies?
IN ThAT CASE WE ARE SURELY GOING TO AGAIN MISS AUGUST 17TH DEADLINE,IF NOT WILL BE STRESSED FOR NEXT ENTIRE MONTH!!!
