Yes - this is a great idea. We will raise some funds and have a lot of fun doing it. Everyone, please chime in with your suggestions on how we can implement this.

Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?
I thought there was a country limit on how many gcs are approved for a country per year. So even if there is a spill over - can a backlogged country like India use it because of the limit ?

Ron is a very compassionate individual apart from being a very experienced attorney.
Have no hesitation in going to him.
I have known people who have engaged him and found him to be extremely competent.
His immigration forum has been a good source of credible information, given the limitations of discussing USCIS idiosyncrasies.
Let me add that I do not know him nor have I spoken to him. However, had I been in CA, he would have been my choice.

Folks:
I am one of the frustrated ones under EB-3 (India) with a PD of Jul 2003. My case is as follows:
I had 3.5 years of experience + MBA from India when I joined the current Job in 2001.
I applied for my GC in 2003 and the lawyer said since my MBA was not relevant for the current job (software engineer) and since my experience before the current job was less than 5 years, I should apply EB-3.
Currently, I have 11 years of experience (out of which 7.5 is with the current employer from whom I have applied for GC) and I have moved to Business Development that uses my MBA quals.
Can I change to EB-2? What do I need to do? What are the risks?
Any/all pointers will be appreciated

A friend told me about the E category visa for Australian nationals. Is this true?
According to him, if you become an Australian national, you can use the E-visa.
Has anyone migrated to Australia and returned to US successfully on a E-visa?
Has anyone also applied successfully for a green card on a E-visa?
How long does it take to get Australian nationality?

I don't think the state is involved, but its the institution that makes its own set of rules. All the community colleges in the state of Arizona accepts both H and L status as proof of residency.

Why not? They have to send the receipt notice on time. They have to send AP / EAD within certain days. Immigrants plan certain events based on these laws. If anyone decides to prepare and file a lawsuit for not getting EAD, he/she could do it now as per the law. Some one said, there is a law that they should be giving EAD in 90 days.
Again EAD is valid for only one year. You have to file in advance and you will get one year from the date of filing or approval I am not sure. If you dont get EAD on time, then youare not supposed to work. PERIOD. If this happens a lot, then lawsuit is for sure from someone like me who have family with two kids and play by rules. I have strong backing of my company HR.
If I interpret correctly you are saying because USCIS will not like to work on so many EADs and APs year after year AND SO they themselves will seek increase in annual GC numbers to clear up the mess. I wish your predictions would turn out to be true.:)
However, if enough EB GC numbers are not available, USCIS can not be repsonsibe for this. They have corrected the one mistake they did with the visa bulletin fiasco. I don't see any other basis for additional lawsuits.

Such a loss of talent and skill should be pointed out publicly by the employers and research institutions, rather than us. They primarily will stand to gain more, then this great country and last we mortals. What do you say?
Employers are not going to have a holistic view: all they would know is what is happening with their workforce. It is upto us to gather the big picture and impress upon Congress the widespread nature of the problem. From the prespective of an individual employer, a turnover of a few people every year (because of backlogs) does not seem too bad. But if a significant fraction of employers are facing the same situation then the problem is much more serious.

EB2 is for advanced degree with exceptional ability.
3 year degree is not a advanced degree. (Here will consider as 3 year college studies- may be comparable to an associate degree or greater)
Diploma is not considered for GC. It is useful for H1B.
Try in EB3. Still not give 100% guarentee.
They need 4 year single source education/degree, for US equivalent.
My friend with 3 year degree + 1 year B.ED degree + 2 year MSc denied for EB2 for education. Evaluation done with most advanced evaluator. Still denied, now on appeal with AAO. Even with 6 year total university studies not accepted. How they accept your 3 year degree.
USCIS refers to EDGE database. It is not equate 3 year with US bachelor degree.
It equate 3+2 Indian degree (not diploma) to US 4 year degree.
Exactly but mere emphasis solely on educational qualification is unfortunate as after few years in job market, your skills & experience has more leverage than the degree and I am saying this based on my personal experience. In our group I was the one with least amount of formal education but still I got promoted 2 times ahead of Masters degree holders form US and foreign universities.

I find Ron Gotcher's website very informative. It�s your choice not to read or to disagree with the speculative part, but he definitely is doing a fantastic job of educating the immigration community by answering the simplest of questions. I don�t care if this is a marketing tool for him, but I get a huge relief on the verge of getting laid off, when he quotes from the law-book to assure me that it�s ok to be unemployed after AOS. He takes the time to do that for me. There are not too many out there doing the same!
(just don�t jump on me yet saying that there are other attorneys out there answering the same question, as I just said it as an example)

If you have not contributed yet: This is money well spent. Changes has started to happen already, thanks to IV. Just renewing AP, EAD, H1B every year will cost a lot more than this.

Thanks GCPlease. I will wait for 15 days and then call USCIS regarding the RFE.
wait for 15 days since USCIS said they sent you the rfe. After that you can call uscis at the # they have in the EAD Receipt they sent you, and you can open a Service Request for non delivery of the RFE. There is a 15 day rule. if you call earlier, they are not gonna entertain you. I got my RFE after 3 days I opened the SR.
But call immediately after the 15 days because the time limit for you to send the rfe is 33 days and this clock starts from the time they say they have sent you the rfe (which you may have recived in an email notification or the online status). They did not extend this time period for me due to non-delivey.
The RFE they sent had the address we need to send the response. I think it was a different address.
The above said information is based on my experience. It may be be different with each case. you know how uscis is. just use it as a guideline.

Recent update from Murthy seems to confirm our theory that I-140 has to be approved to interfile
Interfiling Issues : Cannot Switch I-140 Petition from Primary to Dependent
�MurthyDotCom
Interfiling is a procedure that allows an applicant to change the I-140 petition upon which the I-485 is based. Essentially, the I-485 is filed based on an I-140 petition, but the applicant wants to proceed through a new or different I-140 petition. Interfiling permits the individual to "switch" the I-140 upon which the I-485 is based.
�MurthyDotCom
In a scenario where both husband and wife have independent I-140 petitions filed by their respective employers, and where there is a set of I-485s (one for the primary spouse and one for the derivative spouse) filed with regard to one of the I-140s, there is no option of interfiling based upon an I-140 approval for the derivative spouse. This is because the roles of derivative spouse and primary applicant would have to be reversed in this situation. There is no mechanism when interfiling to shift applications from derivative to primary and from primary to derivative, therefore making them improperly filed with the other I-140 petition. Of course, if the same person has an EB3 and now an EB2 I-140 petition, the USCIS will allow the EB2 I-140 approval to replace the previously-filed EB3 I-140 petition approval.

I already fought this for three good years! I don't know how they allow L1 to enjoy in-state tuituion and not H1B. I provided liks to USCIS to ASU to prove that L1 and H1 are similar non-immigrant visa. I gave up after they could not provide any reasonable response.
Did you threaten them with a lawsuit. You would be surprised at what a threat like that can do.
