I had hoped to embarrass the government further by exposing the connection to a known "hate group," but the media has refused to report that part of the story. If I could get the media to expose the racist origins of this law, we might have some hope, but don't count on it.
The next phase is to focus on legal options.

When it is already proved that no American is available for the skill set required and being substituted with a Foreign worker, then from where the nationality came in to the picture?
Here is the reasoning (I have not thought deeply enough about the reasoning to have a personal opinion on it yet):
The U.S. has a policy of cultural integration called "the melting pot". The idea, is that instead of (as Canada does it) maintaining simultaneous separate cultural identities (referred to as a "mosaic") cultural identities are "blended" together to arrive at a new cultural identity that will still be uniquely "American".
Given this policy, the per country quota makes sense, since to not restrict immigration from certain cultures risks the potential of getting more of a mosaic than a melting pot (since if there is sufficient "critical mass" of one cultural identity, this group would be prone to establish a "district" of their own and maintain their source culture). An example of this is the "little country" syndrome (e.g. little China, little Vietnam, little India, little Italy, etc.).
Does the companies bother about the skill set required or the nationality?
Thanks
The quota is applied post qualification of the candidate, so the skill set is not a factor (i.e. if country 'A' does not achieve quota with qualified applicants, then these visas are distributed to countries that have hit the quota).
Applicants from countries that don't achieve quota are subject to the exact same tests on their qualifications as applicants from countries that do achieve quota.
I think what frustrates most people here is not the per country quota, so much as the low level of the overall quota (since, as others have pointed out, most countries do not use their quota, and that quota *is* redistributed to the countries that do achieve quota, thus allowing them to exceed quota).
So in effect, all the per country quota does, is give applicants from those countries first-crack at available visas *once other countries are at quota*, and has no effect at all until some country has hit their quota.
I think there is plenty of room for discussion about what percentage a country should be able to send, and what the overall number of visas should be, but I really don't think the per country quota is worth getting worked up about.

I agree 2001 and 2002 was really bad job market and not many new labor filed. But things started getting better end of 2002/2003. And I know many of my friends filed EB3. Later some of them got substitute labor and got their GC in 2004/2005. So not really sure if it may go forward that faster 2003...2004...I wish it does.

Read the visa bulletin fine print carefully.
C = Can not file
U = Take a U turn and go back home
So guys no one can file 485.

Its just a matter that the Company felt that your skills require only a bachelor's degree for the work that you perform,whereas other companies feel it requires a master's degree.

I think its time to stop this discussion. It is pointless and self serving. We are all amazingly beautiful, intelligent, strong and sexy. Some are beautiful, intelligent , strong ,sexy and EB2 while the rest are beautiful, intelligent, strong, sexy and EB3.

When I got laid off, my lawyer at the time told me that technically you are out of status as soon as you leave payroll. There was no such thing as a "grace period". I was advised to change my visa status to B2 (I think it was that) with immediate effect, if I could not find a new job within 2 weeks to complete an H1B "transfer". It isn't exactly a transfer of the visa, but what you would do normally when you are changing employers whilst on H1 B. I was told that the "maintaining status" was verified by payroll dates, so within the 2 weeks (I was paid bi-monthly) would be safest

I came on B2, then B2 to H4, H4 to F1, F1 to AOS. All transfers were very smooth with me and my wife's visa extensions and GC process, intime and prompt. Fees are very reasonable. He has sub office in NJ.

Gurus please advise,
I have a H1b with Company A. It expires in Nov 08.
A couple of months ago I joined company B and they transferred my H1B.
Now if I want to go back to Company A, do I need to transfer my H1B again?
Company A has not cancelled my H1 and I am in good terms with them.
pl. advise

As mentioned by some others in the same thread: a lot of employers are also taking advantage of this situation.
i was one of those who was forced to file EB3 despite qualifying very well for EB2. The pretext is job description, although same job description has personnel applied for in EB2.
Quite a few of the EB3 crowd has had no choice, but to be herded in the slowest category to benefit the employer.
How can we highlight this?
Only way out is to find another employer/manager, file an EB2 labor and recapture the old priority date. Once you have the basic qualifications (MS or BS+5), the decision between EB3/EB2 is subjective and at your manager's/employer's discretion.

Most countries do not have 9,800 EB applicants every year - in fact, most countries use well under 1,000.
The total number of applicants from other countries can be derived from roughly estimating number if H1 holders, adjusting for Indians and Chinese, and then dividing by 2 (50% of H1Bs never end up getting a green card), and then multiplying by 2 to adjust for derivatives. The bottom line - there are visas available in EB2 ROW and EB1 categories (which are current, meaning, undersubscribed), that are getting redistributed to EB3 ROW. This is why EB3 in total is using more than its share of 140,000 EBs. In fact, I believe the dates will be moving pretty fast on EB3 ROW, it will probably get all current in a couple of years.
Yes, I understand that most countries use nowhere near 9800 per year - its was a hypothetical answer in response to the OPs question.
I still think your estimation that EB3 ROW becoming current in 2 years is on the optimistic side - especially with no change in legislation.

Looks like the Congressman's (Rep. Lamar Smith) office is getting bogged down by the calls.
I walked around my office and asked every colleague I met to make the call. The last 5 people who called, the person answering the phone rudely asked them to call the local Congressman's office instead of the Representative's office. He did not take any information nor did it look like he was making a note of the call.
Any pointers, information as to what may be happening?
I am not sure about the rude part. All the posts in the 12 pages have actually appreciated the patience of the caller.
Some answers on why you are calling Rep Smith even though you are in a different constituency. Send the first post of this thread as supporting material to those who are going to call. It hardly takes a min to read that post.
(1) Yes, we called our Rep and asked for support
(2) Rep Smith is the ranking member of House Judiciary committee and thats why his support is crucial to these bills
(3) Rep smith championed high skill bills in the past and these are common sense measures that will increase American competitiveness

My wife was on H4 before and since Oct 2007 she started working on H1. Since we haven�t had a chance to go to our home country, her H1 is not yet stamped. She is thinking of switching to some other company. Can she transfer her H1 without having a stamp?

IV hasn't spared any efforts in attracting other Immigrants and making them comfortable in a forum with overwhelmingly high Indian members [the reality]. Like the ban on vernacular language usage on the boards, statements and posts giving a distinct Indian feel to the forum etc. And yet 98% (may be more) of those who marched on Sep 18th were Indians.
When the participation is voluntary, I fail to understand the issue of concerns over the participation of one community and the absence of others. Of course the most active protesters will always be the hardest hit.
For example, Civil Rights movement was predominantly African-American as they were the hardest hit by segregation. Ditto for the marches by Undocumented immigrants, which are predominantly Hispanic. Though it's estimated that there are around a million Indian illegals, there's hardly any Indian representation - thank God for that - at their rallies.
We should stop worrying about the ethnicity of the participants and concentrate on the issues at hand, which are affecting all ethnicities.
they always seemed to mention that Indian and Chinese legal aliens protesting backlogs. I think there should be some effort to also include people from other nationalities

It's true that Democrats tend to be pro immigrants a bit. However, most of their backers are labor unions, which obviously don't want to see any more labor here, legal or illegal.
How will these forces play out on the floor is anybody's guess. We've seen how a Republican congress works. Let's see how a democratic congress will. I'm just a little bit hopeful... same as 12 monts ago... not more... not less.

Hi,
Based on the summary if you re-look at the student visa section of Bill Frist's bill
`(2) STUDENT VISAS- Notwithstanding the requirement under paragraph (1)(C), an alien may file an application for adjustment of status under this section if--
`(A) the alien has been issued a visa or otherwise provided nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv), or would have qualified for such nonimmigrant status if section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv) had been enacted before such alien's graduation;
`(B) the alien has earned an advanced degree in the sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics;
`(C) the alien is the beneficiary of a petition filed under subparagraph (E) or (F) of section 204(a)(1); and
`(D) a fee of $1,000 is remitted to the Secretary on behalf of the alien.
`(3) LIMITATION- An application for adjustment of status filed under this section may not be approved until an immigrant visa number becomes available.'.
What this really means is a masters student can adjust to immigrant visa status although his visa application will get approved only when the visa is available. If i have understood this correctly this means that this is similar to the S-1932 provision wherein you can adjust your status although approval will happen only when immigrant visa is available.(provided one is masters)
Or have i got this wrong?
Comments? If i am interpreting this correctly it is another big boost for people who have either not worked 3 yrs as yet on H1B or have a masters degree unrelated to the profession they are working in.
piyushpan,
Exactly my reactions too. In the section by section analysis posted on Frist's website - http://frist.senate.gov/_files/031706section.pdf it does look like it is only for those who did their masters in the US though. So I-485 and consequently EAD will not be a problem for those of you.
However if you do not have 3 years of experience in a related field, you will be subject to the quota and hence you will have to wait for the priority date to become current to get you I-485 approved though.
