Not from last nights interview, but in primaries season during Politico's live interview on CNN Obama said this about legal immigration:
"It is important that we fix the legal immigration system, because right now we've got a backlog that means years for people to apply legally. What's worse is, we keep on increasing the fees, so that if you've got a hard working immigrant family, they've got to hire a lawyer; they've got to pay thousands of dollars in fees. They just can't afford it. It's discriminatory against people who have good character, but don't have the money. We've got to fix that. "
I know that's what he said but if you read that statement again, nowhere he talks about Highly skilled legal immigration. I think he is talking about the family based immigration, which again caters mostly to the Vote bank. From everything I have read, Obama seems to be anti-outsourcing and neutral (or maybe negative) towards highly skilled legal immigration

I hope you are right.
Thanks to people with your mentality, nobody reacted - if such awareness was ever able to trigger action - against the 245(i) amnesty and that is one of the reasons why you are stuck. Keep up with your rose mentality if that makes you feel good.
Regards,
The Ombudsman
:D Where have we heard this before.
To any member who has been looking at some of the posts since April/May of this year it will be apparant that there has been an attempt by the ultra conservative, anti-immigration groups to create a divide among legal and so called illegal immigration issues. It was good to see that most members perceived this and stayed away from singing the legal vs illegal immigration tune.
Now comes the lame attempt to play on your fears again. What would happen to you if all these so called "illegals" were to get in line ahead of you? The knee-jerk reaction is so obvious. If you see deeper, you will find that all this is BS and just wenting of frustration by the anti-immigration groups. There is a precedent for this behaviour. After the CIR was passed in Senate in May earlier this year, these same anti-immigration group members posted so many inflamatory posts that created a bad vibe on this forum. Well today is a redo of that. Just count the number of posts and you will know what I mean. ;) I urge all members to look at the new ray of hope provided by the change in the new congress and ignore attempts to dampen your enthusiasm in garb of fair and balanced aka an anti-immigration spin :)

GC Seeker 2002 I know how if feels to be in status quo for 9-10 years. I will complete my 9 years at the end of this month.
I want to share the fact that if we channel our negative energy into something positive it helps relieve stress and at the end of the day you earn and learn something.
It does not have to be studies, for me it is studies and golf. In fact I have gotten to be good at golf too. And one of my dreams is to play on PGA tour. Well why not!!! Some of the greatest inventions have been in serendipity. Microwave, correll ware etc. You may find something too. Take Azim Premji's example. Think of of it as some greater force that is directing you to see something in front of you and is phenomenal.
Also remember that you find the lost objects only when you are not looking for them!!

Please check with your lawyer but as per my understanding, your wife needs to be in 'status' to be added as a dependent on the 485. Since she is on H1B, she is already in 'status'. There is a separate thread for documents required for 485. Check there.
Hi folks,
My labor and 140 got approved and PD is march 05.
After the good news, I can apply for 485, But I have
a question. My wife she came on H4 here and then converted
to H1B and get stamped also. Is it going to be a problem if I apply 485 for
her ( because of H1B) and if its not a problem guide me what are the necessary documents
for her.
Thanks in advance
Sai

hi stucklabor,
my earlier post was not meant to be offensive regarding your interpretations of the bill, I apologize if it came across that way.
rather my post was meant to challenge your interpretation in the common interest. however after seeing your response i did look up the bill text and agree that the provisions on the Section 405 (e) seem to apply to retroactively to all who would have been in such status if the section was in force when the graduated.
My earlier comments were based on Bill Frist's own summary of his bill and not any third party's. however the summary does not mention anything about the retroactive nature of adjustment of status under f-4

Well, one could argue that North Americans have access to the TN visa, which is kind of easier to apply. Similarly, the E visa for Australians as far as I know doesn't allow a dual intent;therefore the H visa still has an advantage over the Australian one.
Am I right ?
Why doesnt US govt allow H4 Visa holders to work like Australian Govt does??????
Rather than crying for shortage of Manpower they should utilize the talent already present in the country. Has someone every raised this issue with the senate? I dont think so....and I think there is no forum also to take it up.
This is a pure case of discrimination.
Please think and contrubute.

As I was explained SSA do not classify Economic Stimumus Package as a Federal Benefit. For them Federal benefit is a recurring payment of certain amount and the Stimulus package is just one off.
Also, we should try and get our message across to IRS about dependents who can not have SSN due to the nature of visas issued (H4). IRS should update their system so that if first person filing the return has valid SSN, payment should be calculated as it would be if everyone has SSN. This would be lot more easy then issuing SSN and then filing 2008 returns with those SSNs.
Any thoughts/ feedback?
Understandable that Economic Stimumus Package is not a federal recuring benefit. However, ITIN holders (H4s) are eligible to claim child tax credit, why not this stiumuls benefit?. They should be given this benefit if they meet residency requirement. One should contact IRS to include ITIN holders to clain this benefit.

Excellent response. I have been a silent admirer of IV for some time. IV has represented the aspirations of all the EB applicants. people should understand that the US allotment of visas to foreign Nationals is only based on what is fair for the country (US). It does not matter to them to what country the applicant belongs but what matters is the qualifications and their benefit to the advancement of the US. I am appauled to see some of the members racheting up this irrational discussion about the spillovers when DOS clearly stated recently what the intent of the law was. the sooner they get over this issue, the better for them and for every one on the forum as the existing rules will NOT change regarding the spillover. we have to concentrate our efforts on how we can improve conditions for every body affected by this retroression. efforts aimed at one category and that too one country will almost certainy fail. I am also shocked to see a few EB3 I expressing anger over dates moving for EB2. personally if I see a person from my country getting his visa approved, then I would feel very happy for him even if I am waiting for some time. I know it will be difficult, but atleast spare some joy for your country men and women who are getting some well deserved relief after such a long wait. one of my old friends told me once "if you have a friend from India, don't rely on him to help you, because you will not get much help moreover some people will only try to pull you down, but if you take people from other countries, it is exactly the opposite as they try to help each other in every possible way". I agree that it is very distressing for every one that the dates are retrogressed, but now that EB2 has moved, all of a sudden some people woke up from a deep sleep and started making these arguments that have no legal basis. None of these people expressed their anger when EB3 ROW was being preferred over more qualified EB2 I and C and making EB2 unavailable. I know a lot of people from EB2 protested at this wrong interpretation of the law, but I don't remember anyone ever criticizing IV for not taking up their cause even though we knew all along that spillover from EB1 to EB2 retrogressed countries was the right interpretation of the law. now some people are asking IV to take up an issue that is straight forward illegal as was clearly explained by DOS in a recent bulletin. instead of wasting time and efforts on such futile suggestions, people should concentrate on making some constructive effort along with IV helping every one involved in retrogression.
you must know something i don't.
aman kapoor is the president and founder of iv- of course you can argue he now has his GC but that fact is he is still the heart and soul of iv and runs the organization on a day to day basis. he is EB3.
the "core group" does not much exist in practical terms right now. there is instead a large "leaders group" that helps coordinate actions and strategy.
this group has a lot of active members- and i find it "comfortable" to say that the majority are EB3. which may actually count for something- since i actually do know somethings you don't :-)
no one stops anyone from doing anything. but whatever you do (and yes you actually have to DO, not just keep talking), has to have a sound basis. Many of the suggestions put forward have flaws, and actually papu and others have been pretty helpful in politely helping to point those out and suggesting changes. of course reddog took objection even to that! incidentally, just for the record, you may want to look at pappu's profile . HE IS EB3!
so what do you want anyway? should we go tell USCIS that leftover Gc from EB2 ROW should go to EB3 ROW instead of EB2 I/C? what about the 28.6% that should belong to EB2? and since you are EB3 I- how does this help you in any way? or should we tell them to stop the preference catogories in INA and make EB1=EB2=Eb3? somehow i do not think that is going to fly.
where were you when USCIS implemented vertical spillover in 2006 and left EB2 I in a U state while giving EB2 Gc numbers to EB3 ROW?
did you object then? did you start a campaign? did EB2 I folks here start saying that iv did not care about them?
in 2007 ordinarily, (like 06) EB2 I and EB3 I would have got only 2,800 GC each. because of iv's efforts in reversing the july bulletin, EB3 I got a huge number of Gc instead. many more than any other category. i don't remember anyone else standing up and saying that this was unfair and that iv is all about EB3I. and that's what a lot of anti iv folks say. that iv is all about EB3 India. so this is very ironical.
and i see here a comment that every campaign has been bad for EB3 india.
i guess july reversal was bad. i guess the campaign for recapture is bad. and the 2 year EAD is bad too. not to mention the gathering support to end country quotas.
you opened my eyes :-)

So are you suggesting that everyone in EB3 ROW is unskilled professional?
No that is a suggestion that you are making ...
I am saying that every one in EB3 India/China/ROW is applying for a job that requires lesser skill than EB2 India/China/ROW
It is the job ....not the individual and not the country

Senator Hilary Clinton introduced an amendment to exempt apllicant's dependents from visa quotos, which will reduce the retrogression signifcantly, why Core choose the Coryn's not supporting Hilary Clinton's? She is very likly to be our future president.
Her amendment realted to FB based and not to EB based.
