1) Fast-track GC process for Masters degree holders from US universities. This will be the least controversial, boost admissions (and money) flowing into universities, and clear up backlog in regular GC queue. Its a win-win and most senators, congressmen have voiced support for it already. We can get very good support from University lobbyists also (if they exist!!).
I fully agree with this idea, but unfortunately this has been discussed for a long time now but none (including IV CORE) seems to be interested in pursuing this further, although we all know that this has higher changes of approval. And I am sure even the folks with no MS from US will support if for simple reason that it will help them as well if backlog and crowed is reduced by whatever means. So I assume we all (US Degree Holder or otherwise) will support this -- still no actions..

Accenture and other big firms will survive without H1b by recruiting GC holders ,Citizens, L1 and B1. So there will not be any long term impact because of this bill. Still most of the H1 cap will be filled as the companies will try to comply the regulations. I do not see any issue in proving that no USA workers available if it is really the case. Right now if H1b and US worker is available with same skills Indian companies are purposefully avoiding US workers for obivious reasons. We everyone aware of it. Because we are impacted personally we are opposing this bill. This attitude will not win. We should be ready for some compromise if deadlock
Why to you want to discriminate between one set of companies from another set of companies? In effect, discriminate between employees of one set of companies with the employee of other set of companies? Let me guess, you do not work for one set of companies but may possible work for another set of companies, right? I see some posts on the forum want to change the system as to best suitable their individual situation and they don't care if rest of the world is screwed.
With the green card backlogs, a lot of companies have many employees on H-1B status, waiting for their green card. As such the ratio of people on H1 to green card is increasing. Why do you want to punish the employee on H1, waiting for the green card for many years, because of retrogression? I am not able to understand the objective and rationale of your suggestion?
This bill is not just about limiting the % of employees on H1. It also says that employers will be "investigated" and "audited". "Investigation" is done when there is an allegation of a wrong-doing. So in essence, the bill says that as soon as you employ someone on H1, you have done something wrong. Even after listing the job on DOL website for 30 days and going through all the other stringent requirements, is that how it should be? When an employer hire an employee on H1, the employer is paying filing fee, lawyer’s fee and 8-10% taxes for hiring each employee. This "Investigation" and other stringent provisions to make it impractical to file H1 is simply to destroy H1 program. For now you may see the bill as to how it best suits your individual situation and then you may suggest how it further fit exactly into your situation before coming with an idea, like the one you suggested, but the bottom line is, this bill makes entire H1 program "non-workable" as mentioned by the administrator. And it applies to Oracle & IBM Consulting, PWC, Deloitte and every other employer.

From my reading, it looks like Dems can get lot of mileage from CIR for the election, whether it passes or not .
If the bill passes, good for Dems because now the populace knows that Dems worked towards it and many republicans opposed it.
If the bill does not pass, Dems can say Republicans killed the humane bill and they can not deliver anything (in last 4 years, huge surplus has become huge deficit; reengineering of Social Security failed; war was started by misleading people and good allies were dealienated and there is no end in sight; Katrina was bungled; President could not get his candidate to become judge, NSA wiretapping issue and now republicans can't even work out immigration policy and think gay marriage and flag burning are the most important issues of our time). Hispanics for the decades will go with Dems.
So whichever way bill goes, Dems benefits. What they do not benefit from is by letting this bill go into oblivion. Hence unless some major issue comes up to distract the attention of nation (like Iran, terrorist attacks), Dems will try to keep immigration in limelight. (But it may die from attention overkill, desensitization)
My take.
probably implies that they are looking for a way to quietly kill the bill using procedures so that no one is red faced, come election time...

1. What was mentioned in the job advertisements - was the alternate Bachelors+2 years mentioned
2. How long as it been since the last advertisement
3. Can they file another I-140 concurrently with I-485 using the recently approved labor
4. I agree with abhijitp you can get a RFE too
My suggestion would be to apply in EB3 even though the job advertisement reads masters or Bachelors with 2 years and use the option 3
I request you guys to consult a good attorney immediately and help your selves and also save time.
Please consult an attorney for your good.

US Senate Committe on Small Business and Enterprenership (http://sbc.senate.gov/record.cfm?id=267960)
Senate Passes Key Funding for Women�s Business Centers
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today the U.S. Senate unanimously passed an amendment sponsored by Senators John Kerry (D-Mass.), Olympia J. Snowe (R-Maine), and John Sununu (R-N.H.) to create a grant program for established, successful Women's Business Centers around the country. The provision is now part of the minimum wage legislation being considered on the Senate floor.
"I've been working for 21 years on the Committee to promote expanded entrepreneurial opportunities for women and secure funding for these centers which help turn ideas into jobs, start-ups into success," said Kerry, Chairman of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. "I cannot stress enough the vital role Women's Business Centers play in cities all around the country, like Boston and Worcester. This amendment ensures we will be providing women-owned small businesses the tools they need to grow and flourish."
"We cannot afford to ignore, or minimize, the extraordinary contributions America's business women are making to our economy, our culture, and our future. The achievements of women entrepreneurs are undeniable. Women-owned firms generate almost $2.5 trillion in revenues. They employ more than 19 million workers and are the fastest growing segment of today�s economy. In my home state of Maine alone, more than 63,000 women-owned firms generate an astounding $9 billion in sales," said Snowe. "Today, I am pleased to join Small Business Committee Chairman John Kerry and Senator Sununu with this amendment so women small business owners have the resources, the support and the opportunities they need and deserve."
Senator Sununu said: "Women's Business Centers contribute to the strength and diversity of the small business community, as we know from the great example set by Portsmouth's facility. Centers that have performed at a high level should have the option of applying for additional help to enable their important work to continue. The Senate�s action today marks an important step in the effort to preserve critical funding for WBCs in New Hampshire and across the country."
The amendment is similar to language that passed out of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship last summer as part of S. 3778, the comprehensive Small Business Administration reauthorization bill, which is based on the Women's Business Center Sustainability Pilot Program Kerry created in 1999.
Specifically, the amendment allows established Women's Business Centers to apply for 3-year grants on an ongoing basis. This permanent stream of federal funding is critical to helping the Centers secure matching private funds. This amendment also prohibits the Centers from sharing information about their clients without their consent, unless the information is required by a court order or to do an audit of the center.

These are the issues and examples we discussed. Although the following presents a lot of issues, I emphasized repeatedly that the GC recapture was the first priority.
Immigration Issues:
Obama wants high-paying, high-skill jobs in future – AP March 26, 2009
Obama said job creation in America is difficult in a time of economic hardship and that the work of the future should be in more high-paying, high-skill areas like clean energy technology.
Why Skilled Immigrants Are Leaving the U.S. – Business Week March 3, 2009
Earlier research by my team suggested that a crisis was brewing because of a burgeoning immigration backlog. At the end of 2006, more than 1 million skilled professionals (engineers, scientists, doctors, researchers) and their families were in line for a yearly allotment of only 120,000 permanent resident visas. The wait time for some people ran longer than a decade. In the meantime, these workers were trapped in "immigration limbo." If they changed jobs or even took a promotion, they risked being pushed to the back of the permanent residency queue. We predicted that skilled foreign workers would increasingly get fed up and return to countries like India and China where the economies were booming.
Why should we care? Because immigrants are critical to the country's long-term economic health. Despite the fact that they constitute only 12% of the U.S. population, immigrants have started 52% of Silicon Valley's technology companies and contributed to more than 25% of our global patents. They make up 24% of the U.S. science and engineering workforce holding bachelor's degrees and 47% of science and engineering workers who have PhDs. Immigrants have co-founded firms such as Google (NasdaqGS:GOOG - News), Intel (NasdaqGS:INTC - News), eBay (NasdaqGS:EBAY - News), and Yahoo! (NasdaqGS:YHOO - News).
Educated people leaving the US – Why?
More opportunities overseas
Economic disincentives – spouses and dependents prohibited from working
Institutionalized discrimination – hate groups like FAIR are given voice in congress (i.e. stimulus)
Extremely onerous bureaucracy – 10 years in US and no path to permanent residency (professionals, bankers, educators)
Indentured service
– workers cannot leave employer without facing deportation or illegal status
– including professionals
– employer holds too much power
– employees cannot complain or quit
– dependents must work illegally or leave the country to work
When people change jobs they often have to restart the process again from the beginning.
Solutions:
Canada example:
Permanent residency point system – points awarded for
- years legal residency (student, worker)
- family members in US
- education (more points for certain fields of study)
- proficiency in official language
- skill in high demand fields (petroleum engineers, medical doctors)
Work visas for dependents –
Eliminate restrictions on family members from working
Dependents of professionals are usually educated
Contribute more to US economy (example: work as substitute teacher)
Pay more taxes
Example of a skilled dependent who is not able to work.
“My family moved to the US in 2002. Before that, I and my wife were working in Malaysia. My wife has two Masters Degrees in Science. Once we moved in, I have been trying to get GC. All this time, my wife has been in H4. She has tried her best but could not land a job with H1 sponsorship as no company in her field that she tried is familiar with H1 process. All these years, she has been highly stressed due to this. People may think she must have known this before coming in. But, at that time, the average GC wait was 2 years.”
Other benefits of immigration reform to US economy
Stop reverse brain drain – US universities educate people who are often FORCED to take their skills out of the country
Support housing market – many immigrants hesitate to buy a house because of their uncertain status, but skilled immigrants tend to have healthy incomes that support home ownership.
Scrap diversity visa lottery
– does not attract skilled people
– Already have country limits for green cards
Why bring more people to US and then force people who are already here and have shown a dedication to the US to leave?
To prevent employers from abusing workers: Allow people who have work visas to change jobs without having to reapply for a new visa (up to the original expiration date) and restart green card process.
Bureaucratic Issues
Backlogs in processing going back as far as 7 years or more: some have suggested that they would rather be denied a visa than wait so long. That way they can at least plan for the future.
Immigrants from most countries need to leave the US to get their visa stamped even when their visa has been approved and they are already legally in the U.S. The reason for this is unclear, but it causes economic hardship to immigrants who are delayed and risk losing their jobs.
Every year visas are unclaimed, often because of processing delays. Employment based immigrants have been asking for these unclaimed visas to be reissued to people who have been waiting years for their applications to be processed. The issue is reducing processing time, and they see visa recapture as a way to reduce the backlog.
Many immigrants have complained about the long time processing their applications for a green card. They would like to see automatic qualification for professionals who have lived in the US for a certain period of time (5 or 6 years).
Clearing the GC backlog and making it easier for skilled professionals to get permanent residency will encourage investment in US whether in the form of buying a house or setting up a business etc, because it allows immigrants to plan for the future.
Having no time limit for processing applications is inefficient and does not ensure accountability. Business projects and other processes need time frames to ensure they remain on track and that employees are productive. Government agencies need to be held to the same standards.
Applicants need to be able to access information about their status, which should have clear timelines for each step and show clearly where they are in the process. This is the only way they can plan effectively for the future.
Many people who have been in the US legally for more than 10 years but can’t get permanent residency. They are eligible for SS, but may be forced to leave the US with their US savings, assets and SS benefits. These people would like consideration of a fast track application.

How long was your I 140 pending and what is the dob of child?
Not sure if I have given full details of my sons case but here is the situation
1. In 1998 husband moved to us on L 1 visa
2. In 2000 company filed I 140 for husband and approved 2001, within one year of I 140 approval filed I 485' for all residing in the USA at that time and concurrently file I 824 for minor child abroad - was was to follow to join-
per instructions on I 485 application
3. The child's I 824 was pending at enactment of cspa with no final determination, so should be covered under limited exception
4. Oct 2002, received letter from uscis, (did NOT say son aged out) to say file new I 824 once husband had his green card. Sons age for cspa EB3 20years 8 months
It appears the file became separated, (IN error) so son's I 824 was worked before husband's file was complete
5. Sent new I 824 when hubby got green card and this was approved Aug 04
6. As , no news from consulate/NVC by Jan 05, got congressman's help and took till Oct 05 to received an e-mail from consulate to say son aged out
Was getting paperwork ready to file law suit when husband died very suddenly. They agree with 95% of our claim but say now hubby is dead so is the case.
My attorney say's we are suing for the mistakes and so not relevant that husband has since passed, I will let you know how the case goes
Not sure if I have given full details of my sons case but here is the situation
1. In 1998 husband moved to us on L 1 visa
2. In 2000 company filed I 140 for husband and approved 2001, within one year of I 140 approval filed I 485' for all residing in the USA at that time and concurrently file I 824 for minor child abroad - was was to follow to join-
per instructions on I 485 application
3. The child's I 824 was pending at enactment of cspa with no final determination, so should be covered under limited exception

If you are saying that EB3 would move from 2001 to 2004 this year, then that is what BharatPremi and I were saying. We should be OK with 3 years movement for EB3.
And, guys don't jump on me, if we accept that 3-4 years for GC is acceptable (though I agree that GC in 6 months would be the vision, dream...), then guys who have filed in 2004 should be patient till 2008 and guys who filed in 2006 should wait till 2010.
The only guys who should worry is those with PDs 2001 and 2002. Again, most of them got cleared in Jun, July this year except those who are stuck in name check and LC in BEC.
Well, I was saying "at least". So if goes for 2 years to clear pre-PERM backlogs, I would not be surprised. ;)
