The Los Angeles Times (11/11, Watanabe) reports that, according to a report from the Migration Policy Institute, there is "a massive 'brain waste' of highly educated and skilled immigrant professionals who potentially could, with a little aid, help ease looming labor shortages in California and nationwide in healthcare, computer sciences and other skilled jobs." According to the report's findings, "nationwide, more than 1.3 million college-educated legal immigrants are unemployed or working in unskilled jobs such as dishwashers or taxi drivers," and "nearly one-fourth of them, or 317,000, live in California." The report also "noted that competition for such professionals is heating up, with other countries such as Canada and Australia moving aggressively to attract them with better transition programs," and "suggested an expansion of successful programs such as Welcome Back," which helps transition immigrants with medical skills "back into the healthcare field."

I don't think it is unfair as I think
That if eb2 numbers are not filled then they automatically get allocated to eb3 so why to have portability to eb2.

Just a silly question popped up in my mind...
Doesn't DOL have a directive telling employers, they have to try to recruit US Citizens first, and only if they do not find properly qualified US Citizens they can go on to search for people having 'other work authorizations' . Isn't that the whole basis for the approval of our Labor certifications in the first place???
So can the employers not use that directive as a legal loophole and try to prescreen the candidates and ask them whether they are US Citizens or GC or EAD or H1 and so on... as a hidden ploy to figure out whether you are GC or EAD while externally they can still put on a facade that they are just strictly following the legal directives that DOL has laid out?
Doesn't this 'Try to hire US Citizens first' policy of DOL in total contradiction with the I9 statement of 'no discrimination based on work authorization' ???? I am a bit confused here :confused:
Where does it say (please quote official DHS/USCIS/DOL publication or a bill) that employers must hire "US Citizens" first? I think the regulations are to give preference to US workers (note that its not US citizens) before brining somebody from abroad.
You do make a very good observation and we should clarify with the experts. Can anybody help clarifying this from the lawyers?

Hi,
I saw two LUDs on my 485, I found out one was after FP, the second one was after FP, BC clearance. I found mine was in name check
and USCIS officer told me, the name check is done for all. it takes 2 - 6 months time frame.. and for some it may be beyond

I don't intent to sound rude, but why would this make your life "Suck", "no social life" , "no carreer life", "no nothing life".
Iam in the same position as everybody else, and am deeply dissapointed with the news (hence Iam here), but I just spend 2 hours in a nice pub, drinking nice micro brews, came home had a nice talk with my wife (H4), we are planning on going out for dinner and maybe watch Knocked up afterwords (heard its nice).
If this were to be true, it would delay our GC by another 2-3 years, but we are in this country on our own free will, making good money. Be dissapointed, but this is not the end of the world..Mantain the perspective...
To quote it in a much broader sense, America is not the end of the world - period! Just take it easy and enjoy life...don't freak out if the visa bulletin updates and you don't get to file your 485...we are all in this country by our free will..if we feel the rules of the land are not fair to us..each one of us is free to leave....
On another front, if this actually does happen, I will be the first person to sue USCIS for all the expenses, lost time and headaches that I incurred in preparing the 485 application...I think USCIS can't get away without reimbursing everyone for all of the above...

The real message in this thread is that you should check what is required by the countries you intend to transit BEFORE you buy your ticket.
It seems to me that an individual should take responsibility for his own actions rather than trying to blame a particular country for a long established requirement for a transit visa.
Maybe you can help the Brits to add more questions to their Transit Visa form from 111 to 1011.

Sorry to hear that. Hope that will not effect your I-485 application processing.
For me, I have not seen any status change to my 140. After a series of LUDs to both 485 and 140 at last today I see my 485 status has changed. It says RFE sent. Good that I have not received any NOID or Denial. This is the best case scenario that I was hoping for. I have yet to receive the RFE to see the actual cause. But hoping this is due to 140 withdrawal. I thank the IO who is working on my case as he/she is quite knowledgeable and issued a RFE not NOID or denial.
So people please keep sending letters.
Folks,
I sent the letters and also invoked the AC21 through a lawyer a month ago. However, inspite of all this, I see a new update for my 140 petition today -
Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Withdrawal Acknowledgment Notice Sent
On November 5, 2008, we mailed a notice acknowledging withdrawal of this application or petition I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER. If you have not received the notice within 30 days of November 5, 2008, contact our customer service at 1-800-375-5283. If at some point in the future you wish to pursue the benefits provided by this application or petition, you must file a new application along with all applicable fees and evidence.
I am not sure if this means that my 485 will be denied shortly...

I agree the numbers seem to include dependents. I mean while looking at EB2 numbers you can see average 1000 - 1500 applications per month which translates to roughly 400 - 700 primary applications (labor) filed each month. That looks reasonable.

I fully support this...
People who meet the conditions above can benefit the US Economy in a long run because...
1)Deficits are going to be high for a long time...in trillions, and if we are allowed to apply for naturalization directly, there is a better chance for us to pay taxes to reduce the burden.
2)If we are asked to leave now, the US is committed to Social Security payments(with the minimum 40 points) even if we are outside.
3)By now, we already have kids who are American citizens... which means that when they become 18, they can always sponsor us as citizens. All that we are asking is for the congress to do the same a few years earlier. It is better we are here in our earning years than when we are in our older years.
If this Bill is introduced in congress, people will listen because...
1)People waiting for 10 years... and done all the right things, no one can simply ignore. Also, there will be a sense of guilt on the US Government to have let the situation deteriorate. They will think of ways to make the transition smoother... remember they created a special green card category for Iraqis since there was a sense of guilt.
2) Whether this passes congress or not, there is a legitimate argument of asking for the congress to rectify the situation. That is the best we can do.
3) We need to give more and more options to the congress. Not everything sticks, but even if one or two get passed, it goes a long way to help all of us.
I personally will contribute bigtime if IV core want to take this up!
Hi,
Your point below is good. I have never noted this point in my letters. We will include this point. Makes so much sense. Lets ask them to help us when we can contribute more, than to let us just get in when we start consuming SSN benefits and other due to age related issues..How do I give a green to you. Is this is your first post ever?

Folks,
I would like to run a questions by you guys/gals. I am getting ready to file my I-485 application. My lawyer requested that I find all copies of my I-20, OPT EAD, H1-B's etc. My question is do we have to submit copies of I-20, and OPT EAD for the Adjustment of status (I-485) stage ? Please let me know what you think ?
I-20 is from a university that accept students in the US. The F1 student visa is issued based on the I-20.
OPT EAD - Is one year of practical training that is allowed after graduation
It would help if someone can put a list of all documents needed for 485 filing on this thread to help all such questions.

RNC Bows to Bush, Kills Immigration Resolution

Given the growing chasm between the Administration and GOP grass-roots activists on the issue of illegal immigration, the Pullen measure could well have paved the way for the most incendiary debate at an RNC meeting since the party�s ruling members eight years ago voted down a measure to deny funding to candidates opposed to a ban on partial birth abortion.

What's FAIR Got to Do With It?

International Relations Center, January 19, 2006
The House's approval of the Sensenbrenner immigration reform bill in mid-December was a clear signal that the most virulent restrictionists were in control of the immigration policy debate.
Sponsored by Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), chair of the House Judiciary Committee, the Border Protection, Anti-Terrorism, and Illegal Control Act calls for the extension of a fence along a third of the 2,000 mile U.S.-Mexico border, involves local law enforcement and other government officials in immigration enforcement, and denies due-process of law for immigrants. The bill sparked a spate of international criticism of rising anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States , and raised alarm among immigrant communities and their advocates.
