Republicans also are considering a bill that would overhaul visas for high-skilled foreigners.
Senate Republicans are also discussing ways to increase the number of visas for high-skilled workers, now capped at 65,000 a year.

If anybody has experience here please answer the bellow Qs:
01. If I-140 is revoked by the previous employer after invoking AC12, does the status of I-140 changes? Any LUDs?
02. How long does it take to revoke an I-140 after the employer sends the withdrawal request?

I saw lot of posts above saying good things about them however my experience with them has been bad. I am assumng this is Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy, LLP we are talking about.
There have been a couple things in the past but the most frustrating one was that even though I sent them all my papers etc. by Jun 20th (so that they can file it on July 2nd) they did not file my case until Aug 08. They are my corporate lawyers so I don't have any choice. Also, they asked us not to contact regarding status during this period as they were really busy. While not responding to status queries was understandable, they still took more than a month to file cases. I confirmed with a lot of my colleagues who were in the same boat and were equally frustrated with noncommunication and taking so long to file the cases. They also were not maintaining any apparent first come first serve queue because there were several folks who got their filings done much sooner than others who had sent complete paperworks way before them.
Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend them.

My lawyer asked me $400 / form as his fees so $1600 lawyer fees to apply for Spouse and mine EAD , AP. Plus $1300 USCIS fees. All this to fill a one page no brainer form. I decided to file it myself but I am sure there are lots of people who will pay them for that and why would they want 2 years EAD when they can make money every year for so little effort.
In this big black hole we are alone, not the govt. nor the lawyers really care for what goes with us. USCIS is just a money making machine for the govt. Rules are made complex and there are several layers of forms. I wonder why a person should go thru 2 stages before filing for I-485. Or why they have 5 different forms filled Labor/I-140/I-485/I-760/I-131 blah blah blah when they could just do it with 1 form like any other country have or may be 2 layers, labor and I-1485. There's no logic of having to file I-140/I-760/I-131. It's all money game...

This is great... I don't think we could have asked for anything more. numbers USA is already harping about it. But no guest worker thing makes it much less controversial.
However I think our biggest challenge is in the house. So we will have to lobby hard to the house members who are going to be in the conference.
This bill has some very good things for graduate students. And they are the most organized ones. So we can team up with student associations to mount a big grass roots campaign.

Seems like a downright slugfest on Fragomen going on! I haven't had the ability to get an immigration lawyer (my employer too didn't provide me with one) so I couldn't comment either way on Fragomen. But it seems Fragomen may just be selling franchises not unlike Subway or Dunkin Donuts. End of the day you just get to work with a franchisee using Fragomen's name. The flip side of this is that there is no standardized lawyer supply similar to raw material supplies Subway or similar franchisees get.
What I say above is in jest but it may quite be true!
Maybe we could operate Fragomen franchises once we get our green cards!

I recieved my EAD earlier this week.
I had applied on May 27th, checks got cashed 28th and receipt notice sent on 29th. Our AP's were approved June 2nd - but havent received the AP copies yet!
Now thats a refreshing change of pace from TSC!!
The validity of my EAD is 1 year....but my spouses EAD is not approved yet. So I am waiting and watching if it stays unapproved beyond June 30th - will it have a validity of 2 years or 1 year??
Right now the optimist in me chooses to see the glass half full.....maybe I got a 1 year EAD cause my GC will be approved in the next 1 year :D :D

Mea Culpa. I'm the culprit here :).
I requested for the meeting close to weekend. It turned out some other new chapters were also in the same boat. Core put us together in the same call, which helped, as our issues are more or less the same. Timing was inconvenient for cagedcactus due to personal reasons. Yet he participated (which we should appreciate). Some veterans also nearly-missed the call as everything got finalized a few hours before it.
Regarding nearby states, we can try to accomodate Indiana (IN) and Ohio (OH), and my be Wisconsin (WI), the states that border Michigan, that is if they already don't have an active chapter.
I missed it, not aware of it, not sure why. I am glad to see this chapter grow. There was a time where we were searching for folks with torchlights. Thanks to Chintu, walking_dude, cagedcactus, bestin and all others who are now making this happen.
I have a very close friend in Michigan, and asked him to join, but he talks about all hardships, about his HR manager, about his company, about his lawyer, about everything except IV stuff. I am sure there are many more people here doing the same thing. We have to motivate folks to come forward. We cannot afford to have people who are inactive.
Good luck to you all, try to merge folks from nearby states if they are still not organized until they get organized.

What I'm talking about is that I like the idea of members who have contributed earlier to have their contributions applied retroactively towards membership (eg. if someone contributed $123 - they get 4 months of membership - i.e. multiples of $25 per month)
Its only a thought - upto the core and a quorum to decide and act on this.

No Red Dogs are allowed only Brown Dogs.
Yes, what I posted was meant to be hard,
ask a EB3 person if he was happy when EB3 was available and Eb2 was not.
Did any one try to justify the reason why EB2 was UNAVAILABLE? No.
Did anyone here feel unhappy that EB2 moved so nicely? No.
Then why are we not seeing a single post from anyone which says we as aspiring immigrants are not being failrly dealt with when EB3 did not move with EB2.
Instead we see posts about why EB3 is not moving and explanation of reasons behind it.
Is there a hidden agenda here, NO. Not from IV, am i trying to prove something like that? I dont think so.

This is an interesting development. It will create a clear division among supporters of CIR. It is so enticing to say,"who cares about CIR if we have SKIL" from our perspective. Hopefully this is a sincere effort not just some political posturing.

Skilled Bill
In a move that high-tech groups predict could break the impasse over immigration legislation, Arizona’s John Shadegg, a member of the House leadership, says he’ll introduce legislation to increase visas and citizenship opportunities for skilled workers.
The bill mirrors a Senate Republican-sponsored bill and would more than double the number of temporary visas and permanent green cards available to skilled workers each year. The bill also would make it easier for U.S.-educated foreign nationals to stay here after graduation and work in their field of study.
The measure is the first time Republican conservatives in the House have endorsed any immigration bill that didn’t deal solely with border enforcement. A Shadegg spokesman said some House members also favor passing a measure that makes more visas available to agriculture workers. He predicted that action could begin on both measures after Congress comes back from its summer recess — and after a long string of House immigration hearings has run its course.
That still leaves out a guest-worker program and some plan for dealing with illegal immigrants already here, but would inch the House closer to a Senate immigration-overhaul bill.
Judiciary Committee Chairman James Sensenbrenner (R., Wis.) has insisted he won’t permit any immigration bill to pass until border enforcement is tightened. If a measure that eases visa backlogs for highly skilled workers has to go through his committee, “that could be a problem,” says a Shadegg spokesman.
But high-tech groups say the bill shines attention on their need for skilled workers, and on what they call the dangers to U.S. competitiveness if more visas aren’t made available. “It lets us talk about our issue,” says the National Association of Manufacturers’s Sandra Boyd. –June Kronholz

Earlier today I got an email from USCIS that said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Card production ordered.
On June 29, 2008, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."
Then by the evening my I-485 said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

On June 30, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later.

When I said that there should be one Item in IV agenda to Ban Porting, everyone got mad.
I still say that they should be allowed to port but should go back in line. they are disturbing the balance. I am not against them, if they were EB2 candidates why they didnt file on EB2 category at first, if now they think they are qualified then they should start new process.
BTW. they will create a big retrogression for EB2 then EB2 people have to port to EB3
Red dots are welcome.
Thanks
You better stop stereo type answers. Don't understand why you post same answer for every question and waste others time (not your time) reading your shit answers.

I find your comment hard to digest. I have a graduate degree and am experienced, I couldn'f find a job and I tried hard, not everyone succeeds, I am sure I am not the only skilled H-4 that couldn't get an H-1B even though tried hard. But that is not what I want to comment right now.
I understand your post during 2005, I do not get it now, when the L-1 spouses can work and if immigration laws are passed for the illegals to have work permits and let the spouses work, it will be completely biased for the H-4 visa holders. As per that there is no excuse for ignoring the H-4 laws you are right, there is no excuse for ignoring them but there is no excuse to let the L-1 spouses work and not the H-1b spouses. More so now with the illegal spouses, don't you think that we should be allowed to work?
