There should a seperate quota for immigrants from Jhumri Talliya
In the same lines as H1B, could we look into if its possible to add a quota for US Masters degree holders irrespective of country of birth for green Card also. This would be in addition to the existing Employment based quotas.
Does anyone know how they added 20k H1B quota for Masters degree holders? Who sponsored that bill? May be we should talk to the same people.
I would think there would be a little less resistance for this? This would ease the pressure on both EB2 and EB3.
I dont know if this has been previously looked at. I know there were talks of excluding these people from quota all together.

Thanks lazysis.... your confidence is boosting my confidence too :-)
JaiHind....would you mind briefing me on your casez? why did ur employer charge 7K from you? did u also sign similar contract?
After reading all the great posts on this thread and their experiences, it hurts me why in the world did I even pay my old employer 7K...(I wish, to do something thing like this and check with great experts opinions like how you did on your case....) and could have saved 7K:mad:
here is my experience and for sure you all would agree by not paying 7k to this 2nd employer "sky wouldn't have fell down"....:
In 2003, I joined my 2nd employer (Indian Consulting) since I came to US in year 2001. At the time of joining this employer made me sign all kinds of contract and one of the contact that I signed was to pay (50-50%) for GC processing and if left the company before GC is approved I have to pay the remaining 50% and contract was something like this "if Employee were to leave the company’s employment prior to GC approval, employee hereby agrees to refund all expenses includes attorney, processing fees etc., to the Company with 30 day's......."
Here is my GC experience: I provided all the information that my 2nd employer/attorney requested in order to file my GC and after 6 months on my follow-up on where they are with GC process they told me to provide additional paper work due to which they could not start my GC processing "6 months wasted here" (since I am idiot) and should have realized this employer is a useless/fraud one and didn't learn my lesson in my 2nd attempt of GC processing with this 2nd employer (something similar happened to me with earlier employer (Indian consulting) & by the time I realized it was already 2 years wasted down the road and they haven't started my GC, I got irritated & left my 1st employer "2 years wasted 2001-2003).. I could have left little early but they had close to 40K of my overflow money with them which I was able to extract at the time of my wedding excuse....thank god!!
Now after providing other documents that he requested papers and then after then every month I used to follow-up but after another 6 months I know there was no progress and this employer is just carries about money and one day I asked him if they have any intentions of applying for my GC or would like to continue on playing around this catch up game for ever and finally they gave me attorney contact number & work directly with him...this attorney is another JOKER (Indian guy with a fake American accent). This attorney thinks he is Mr.George Bush-2, I could never talk to him directly & his assistant used to put me on to his voice mail every time when I called & later he used to mail with response...
By now I have already paid my 3.5K (that was forcibly deducted from my paycheck in addition to thei 60% of hourly pay cut) and almost 23 months gone down the road and asked if they filed my GC that was end of year 2004 and guess what.... they don't have receipt number at that time too...and right then I gave my 2 weeks notice and in advance I applied to another known consulting company H1 transfer (this is my current employer who is good and no complaints). The minute I gave my resignation, I was still working at the client using new H1 and happen to know that this 2nd employer was enjoying 60% of my hourly billing rate and when I gave my resignation they HR was bargaining me for increase in my pay by 50 CENTS/hour (can you guys believe this and its true they did that to me "50cents") and non of their great offers worked on my end and!! I left the company once I got approval from new employer and next day they sent me a notice to pay remaining 3.5K followed with legal action notice that will be taken if not paid in 30 days of time frame else they will give information to collection agencies...) Since they mentioned about "collection" agencies I decided to pay the remaining amount else as you all know these collections agencies can also ruin "credit history"...& thought its not worth dealing with credit history.
Summary of my GC experience: wasted 4 years of valuable time (2001-2004) & most important paid 7K for GC in first place process didn't even start at all....isn't that a JOKE!!
my 3rd employer filed for my GC in MAY 2005 in EB2 (TSC), received EAD/AP, I am very happy with this employer and treats their consultants very professional and helps if & when needed.
JUST CURIOUS, DO ALL THINK I CAN EXTRACT MY PAID 7K BACK FROM THIS EMPLOYER WHO CHEATED ME OR YOU THINK ITS WORTH LET IT GO???....any comments, suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
THE END!!

Please don't open your mouth...it really really stinks :)
the expression of empathy should be appreciated, not berated. Illegal or not, these are still people who are affected - and in this case children. And, its difficult to see any kids suffer for anything no matter what their background is.

Well said - I couldnt have said it any better !!! I thought every desi in the US knew this already but apparently NOT!!!
But not because they are 'Indian' but because they are run by sarkari babus. If anyone wants proof Govt. can't run things even remotely as efficiently as private corporations, this is that case study.
Have to give American consulates in India the credit that they have outsourced some job to external private companies.
At Indian consulate the story is quite different. There are many who share Pooja's feeling on this subject as being used to dealing with efficient private businesses in US, as soon as you enter the consulate, the sarkari inefficiency hits you like a ton of bricks. Every small screwup looks like a giant under our microscope and each further screwup just frustrates us exponentially.
As per my last visit to SF consulate, bracing for the worst, I got a surprise to find that it was a breeze, mostly because the lady at the counter was more compassionate and accommodating then the prior ones. But the failure is glaringly at the top level where they fail to define and refine the process, proof-read the information on website (list of document is vague and contains repetitions).
To summarize I think good workers can deliver some time, but the team will ultimately be a failure without good management at the top, and we all know the top management is sarkari babus who could care less as they were appointed from the sifarish of the Govt in New Delhi and not on their own merit.

Its not only for illegals but its also for kids of legals that aged out due to retrogression or backlogs in visas...plz don't be selfish with view points like "it doesnt help us so im gonna oppose it"....instead help the children who aged out due to the visa backlogs!!! Read what Greg Siskind wrote:
FYI - You can read the bill at http://rs9.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:SN02075: . Note that it applies to kids who entered illegally and kids who entered legally but became illegal later.
On the 245(i) question, unfortunately I have heard nothing about this being reintroduced any time soon.

Atty fees were paid by my employer; my out of pocket was approx. $ 500. However, the intangible cost (disappointment, having parents stand in a queue to get BC etc.) is far greater :(

How does one get to know if his Labor Substitution was rejected? If a Receipt Notice was received does that mean that it was accepted? And, can they reject it later?
Receipt Notice means they accepted the case for reveiwing. I guess these rejections came after they reveiwed the case.

As per this logic, Prof Matloff is also paid in the same bracket as other university professors; so he is also ordinary because his pay ratio would be 1.0!!! At any place, your co-workers are doing same type of work, so will get same salary. Even in hedge funds, if an immigrant is paid very high salary, his colleagues are also paid the same high salary. Very ridiculous logic to use pay ratio.
Ask Mark that if pay ratio is 1.0, why are companies still hiring H1B people and get in to all these govt red tape, if they can easily get manpower at same cost without the need for H1?
And does he think that someone must have PhD to do useful innovations? How many of these great innovative companies are started by PhD? On the contrary, how many PhDs work for Microsoft who is started by college dropout?

Also, if you google there was precedent with some guy from India. Who had similar agreement and left the company. The company sued him and lost, appealed and lost. The guy sued back and won, the company paid $200,000+ something expenses. The case was long ago, I don't remember the link.

I got my I-140 Approved in 2007 and I-485 applied in July Fiasco. working for same employer who filed labor in PERM. Recently got letter from DHS stating that I485 denied as it was filed when dates are not current.
In july 2007, USCISreleased memo stating that they will accept all applications till August 17' 2007. Mine was reached on Aug 14'2007 well before deadline. Got I485 reciept in october 2007.
There are 2 dates on receipt. 1. Received Date (Aug 14) 2. Receipt Date (Oct 12 ' 2007).
They sent Denial letter to Attorney stating that I485 application was filed when dates are not current
Took Infopass and went to filed office where I was told that this is USCIS Service error, file MTR with out Filing Fee.
Filed MTR thru Attorney.. Filing Fee is not enclosed as it is USCIS service error.
(This was done as officer at USCIS told that Fee need not be included as it is service error, attorney also agreed with this statement).
Till date I did not get any communcication from USCIS. 2 months have been passed.
Please advice me on this issue
