(I had posted a similar note a couple of weeks ago. I apologize for doing so again, but I feel this needs to be said).
We legal immigrants need to make our voices heard because 99% of the US Citizens do not know our (sad) story. Here are some highlights (nothing new to the users of this site):
1. Most of us are highly educated.
2. .. work hard (because otherwise why would our employers sponsor us).
3. .. follow all the laws and pursue legal immigration.
4. .. are deeply invested in this country - so many of us own houses, mutual funds, etc. that are investments in the Economy.
5. .. contribute to the society in a variety of ways including: paying taxes, inventing so much of the new technologies (especially in the computer industry).
It wouldn't be too hard to get statistics on how much employment-based immigrants contribute to the economy - number of companies started by former immigrations, number of patents filed, US citizens employed by such companies, correlation of the growth of the Computer Industry with Employment based Immigration. I believe a very strong case can be made in our favor.
And all we ask for is a fair shot at permanent residence in this country. Not only do we not get that, the process is opaque and we have NO idea how long it may take for us to navigate each one of the many stages of this process. The process is completely unbounded and we have no way to planning our lives.
I bet if the US Citizens at large find out what we go through day-to-day they would be appalled. One way to do so is to peacefully protest in public - perhaps outside the USCIS offices. It is probably a dumb idea, but I wanted to bring it up - let us not sell our selves short, there are a lot of us and if we combine our voices it would be loud enough to get to the right ears. I am sure we will see action.

Exactly!!
Unfortunate that many did not get your sarcasm and might have given you bad reps. No worries, I gave you a green :)
And none of us should even complain when millions of illegals are suddenly made legal by the Government and they jump the line in front of us for no fault of ours and there are EB3s still waiting from 2001. The illegals have taken a risk right by jumping across the border and staying here illegally???
:rolleyes::rolleyes:

The derivative files using primary's PD. read all posts in this thread, the I485 form and INA. it is clearly in the law.
This thread is discussing about quota. not PD.
In essence none will be affected ( ofcourse EBdependents and existing FB2A may get delayed slightly , that is ok)
Ok, I am still trying to figure out what you said about non retrogressed countries/EB1. A person in EB1 files for labor and gets approved in a year. Suppose he has a priority date of 08, his dependents will have to wait for at least 4 years according to the current bulletin for Family 2A. Am I missing something here?

i guess ur fine. My collegue here won similar case in NJ. I am sure they'll pay u if u put little pressure on them. I would think twice before i report him to DOL & DHS only the reason being it might affect all other employees that are currently working for your previous company. If they don't pay u, i guess u have no choice to go for a fomal complaint.

Yes, if we work on our state chapter and get some idea how many members can join in DC then we can talk about it to core members and see what they think.
IF something is planned, we can come to DC from Raleigh,NC.

It will be the right thing to do as people will always have a reason for not contributing. I doubt we can ever swing the thick skinned folks to contribute.
I understand that one reason for having the free site is for us to have numbers. But, how do these numbers help when most of them are not good for much.
I think it is about time for IV to think and make $25/month minimum fee for accessing this site. IV needs money to lobby to sort GC mess out. At the same time we need serious people ready to volunteer and donate. That is the only way out. We do not need people discussing SRK and Vonage on this site. We might reduce website hits by doing this but at least we will have ust have serious members who actually want to volunteer and work for IV.

Guys, Please don't fight.
We cannot get far with this EB2 Vs EB3 fight.
We understand EB3's situation, however pitting one against another will not help.
Sanhari: why not take your efforts one step ahead and work for fixes like visa recapture. That would be permanent solution and doesnot favor any particular group. You will be able to get support of EB2 and EB1 folks.
I know IV core is focusing its efforts on CIR. CIR is dead meat or going to be... considering this, is IV core working on any piecemeal reforms? Can somebody from the IV core comment????
