I posted a reply long ago - it was quite hard-hitting on Berry. It somehow hasn't shown up until now - wonder if the editors "balance" the pro- and anti- immigrant letters :mad:
BTW this Berry guy seems to be in the know of everything happening on this site. I hope at least now those blowhards among us who insist of by-the-minute updates and "where is my 20$" questions appreciate why the core members don't give updates on these forums. If you are so keen on updates, get off your backsides and pick up that darn phone !!!

..... However; lawmakers, etc. are not stupid people. ....
I agree , especially if it fits majority of them ( and the 'types' of them ).
One needs real diversity in US population. There are too many here from EU.

It�s good that at least some of us are getting VISAs, instead of VISAs being lost.
However if this continues we could see a big movement to switch over to EB2 with or without porting PDs. This may in turn help EB3 :)
We need to make this a sticky thread, so that we can brainstorm and put best ways to switch from EB3 to EB2 w/keeping older PDs.

Transfer of the Earlier Priority Date : EB3 to New EB2
�MurthyDotCom
The ability to transfer priority dates from an earlier, approved, I-140 to a later-filed I-140 could provide an alternative for job mobility, both within the current employer's organization or with a new employer. This would be helpful for those who want to make a change but are not eligible to file the I-485 application because of retrogression. It also could help people who are eligible to change from an EB3 classification to EB2. One would be eligible to request a transfer of the priority date from the earlier-filed EB3 petition to a new EB2 petition once the I-140 is approved. The new EB2 petition would need to be based upon a new LC for a position requiring the EB2 level of education and/or experience. (Over time, many people with EB3 cases have become eligible for EB2 cases due to increased experience and/or education, and promotions.)
This strategy potentially could shave off a few years in the queue for available immigrant visa numbers. This may be particularly appealing to those who had EB3 labor certifications filed on their behalf long ago and have had their cases pending while they have gained advanced degrees, acquired several more years of experience, and/or are offered jobs at higher levels. Keep in mind, though, that this involves filing a whole new LC under the PERM system for a new job opportunity and that the employer must actually require the additional degree and/or experience for all persons holding that job classification in order for the new case to be filed as EB2.

desi9333 thanks for the link. Nice one - even though it covers only Hiring practices, and not opportunities for promotions and progression.
The "Opportunity" usage has been explained much beyond Hiring in the other laws and related documents. Hence, an employee who subsequently faces discrimination because he/she cannot progress or misses on job advancements due to Visa limit restrictions is certainly being discriminated against.
Its my view and others can differ. I respect all opinions and am thankful to all because it helps improve my reasoning, mutual respect and tolerance abilities.
Back to the subject,
My earlier post on first page this thread has some action items - can anyone here take the lead and convince an attorney to take up the cause?
My cheque shall be sent as soon as the ball gets rolling.
The aim is not to convince an attorney. You can file a lawsuit for any reason and fight it. But the question is - Is the case strong enough?
In this case the case is not strong. IV has access to best attorneys and we have had discussions on this as well. The best way to change country limits discrimination is by changing the law.

Because most of the people here have smoked a weed called CIR and are halucinating. This bill is digging our grave, people wake up and stop day dreaming, please start opposing this bill no cir period.
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

My company lawyer did the filing for me and I just followed the same instructions to file for AP renewal for my wife. I did paper filing (trying to save a trip to the USCIS office for photo/fingerprints).
Supporting docs I sent other than I-131
1. $305 check for US Dept of Homeland Security ( write the A# on the "for" part just for safety)
2. 2 photographs ( name and A#s at the back , again for safety, in case the great people in USCIS manage to loose the photo from the application )
3. Valid photo identity ( Passport photo page )
4. I-94 for both me and wife ( I have a valid I-94 from my new H1B extension, wife's has expired, still sent it)
5. I-485 receipt
6. Cover letter ( just stating these docs are attached, and my I-485 pending, please be kind and give me AP ;) yada yada yada ... )
Hope that helps. My lawyer only wanted my passport photo page and I-94. I know people applying for any kind of immigration document tend to send more supporting documents with the belief "more is good", but I believe ( and my law firm supports) USCIS have all the documents in our files, so it's better to send only what is required and not to confuse the USCIS staff with redundant bunch of documents. Just my thoughts, please, no preaching !

Hi, I have a question about which service center to use when e-filing for AP renewal. Here is my situation:
- I live in California, but my I-485 has been rotting in Texas Service Center.
- When e-filing, one of the questions on the USCIS website was which service center my I-485 application has been pending at. I answered it as Texas Service Center, and went through with rest of the e-filing process.
- After submitting the form, I got the receipt number that starts with "SRC", which I am assuming ties my application with Texas Service Center. The cover letter of the PDF (which was generated right after submission) even said to mail supporting documentation to TSC.
Now, the problem is, I was reading through the instructions for I-131 filing and the PDF (I-131instr.pdf, which I downloaded from USCIS website) says on Page 7 that I should file my AP renewal with Nebraska Service Center, because I am a California resident.
Given that I already filed my AP renewal with Texas Service Center, am I in trouble here? I don't remember the USCIS website asking me or prompting me to file the renewal application with Nebraska Service Center, so I am a bit baffled by how I ended up in this situation. Is there anything I could do to correct it now? Has anyone run into this situation before?
Thanks!

I have no idea how you guys can even generalize something like this.
IT is vast; the spectrum vertically ranging from Networking, to Programming to Front end design and horizontally ranging from web based apps to system apps to distributed apps to enterprise front-ends.
I have seen guys in our field come to work with double masters, 11 years of very relevant experience and still struggle to grasp the intricacies of what we do.
As they say, when you know too much it is then that you realize how less you know.
If you think your job (read coding "hello world" for clients) can be done by somebody with lesser qualifications, you/your employer has committed an immigration fraud.
even though I am in EB2..from my personal experience, the kind of IT contracts/jobs/assignments we (most of us) do, I dont think there is anything that an EB2 qualified can do which EB3 cannot do.
I saw threads (this site or elsewhere) where EB2 ppl felt superior and blasted the threads where EB3-EB2 conversions were discussed.
IMHO, I would always say, if it is legal and possible and beneficial, ppl should think of conversion.

Don't want to pick on anyone one or anything.. just case-in-point to what I posted earlier.. here we have intense legal debates, and legal opinions with people who can not distinguish between Title VII and EEO which are legislative laws and between the constitution. These laws are not part of the constitution and they include provisions for federal and local governments and their agencies to override parts of rules if they deem necessary.
Again you are plain wrong. If a non-US citizen buys house in the US then does he have the right to own the house and live as he wants? The answer is YES.
Similarly, the US Constitution protects certain rights of non-US citizens who are in the US. One of them is right to the Equal Opportunity Employment. Now if a law is passed such that it intentionally or unintentionally goes against the right of the US citizens or non-US citizens, employed in the lands of the US, to Equal Opportunity Employment then YES the US courts can rule that the law is unconstitutional and hence no longer applies.
The Key Point: Equal opportunity employement advancement is protected by Constitution ("Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)") and hence the Supreme Court can overturn the per country quota limitation if the Supreme Court finds that the per country quota leads to discrimination at employment, which is unconstitutional.
Unfortunately, I agree with you, this thread is going no where. It will go on for 10+ pages and then die. I have seen may be 5 such threads on immigrationvoice and .

Here I want to make clear, FIFO for taking labor applications and sending ad instructions not for approving. I know depending on compilcation of cases(I think), some cases with PD 2005 get approved fast and cases with PD 2003 are taking longer. I dont know why all these mess in DOL, for taking the labor applications and sending ad instructions.

My friend, you have not seen the complete posting. I mentioned around 15 times that my lawyer has filed G-28 and AC21 together in May this year.
My lawyer is one of the best in southern California and i am with him since joining new company. He is going to check with TSC for G-28 and if they didn't updated one then i will have no choice but to ask old lawyer to forward the notice to me.
Sorry I missed that part. As you lawyer side is already taken care of, then I guess I would do the same that you have been thinking of doing. Take an infopass appointment, try to get a copy of the denial notice and also check if they have the updated G-28 in your file. By the mean time, let your lawyer do whatever he possibly can.
Also, as a professional courtesy, your lawyer should provide everything to the new lawyer once requested. Hopefully, the old lawyer will maintain the courtesy and won't cause any trouble.
Please keep us posted and good luck.

Jealousy is a human personality trait. It's present in people of other countries too.
It's ridiculous to attribute this trait only to Indians.
On a side note:
How do you decide the nationality of the crabs? Do they have passports??
Don't just copy paste something an imbecile moron wrote and forward to ur friends and colleagues demeaning yourself and fellow Indians.
