Hasn't this been discussed already?
It does not make a difference to America, if a few hundred thousand foreign workers get their GCs today or 10 years later. The people America would really be concerned about are outstanding researchers, but then these people fall in the EB1 category which is always current and so they have no cause for complaint. The other category that the US is concerned about is cheap and illegal labor, but that is not related to GCs. So in short, there is nothing about the Eb2/Eb3 GC backlog that America needs to worry about.
The delay causes anxiety & frustration only for us applicants. So the impact is only on us.
Every year H1B quota is getting filled withing few days to a week. Majority of H1B applicants eventually land up applying GC in EB2/EB3 category, so america has nothing to lose as it keeps getting the workforce it needs every year.
Now, in an unlikley scenario in 2009 the H1B quota doesn't get filled then we can say that america is losing.

Great! Someone should give you an award for motivation
For your information, i have contributed to IV monetarily. It just does not show up on the handle for some reason i do not know.
So you are looking for motivation? Your post do not indicate that you are looking for motivation. There are those who are undecided or who cannot find enough energy/motivation to do something, and those people need motivation. You don't fall in that category. You are pretty much convinced that you don't belong here. Now you are just spoiling the environment to make sure that others all leave looking at you and mad-dog bickering. And one need not be a rocket scientist to figure that out. Its obvious. There goes your flag for "award for motivation". What's next, you need a shoulder to cry?

Hi All,
I am an IV member living in Southern California. I wanted to give a loud 'hello' out to all members in this region. It will be great to know some of the members so that we can interact. Can you please post back a response with what counties you live in? This way we can get some idea about where members are residing.
Looking forward to your responses.
Cheers,
Jimi

I see that a lot of us feel really stuck because of the long GC process and yet we continue to wait. Eventually we all want to have:
1. Freedom to switch jobs
2. Freedom to start businesses
3. Freedom to travel
4. Freedom to have spouse working
I hope and pray that it comes thru sooner than later for all of us. Let's say you get your GC in 1-2-x years. How many years after that would you go back? 2-3 or wait till you get US citizenship? Would you give up the GC after having spent 5+ years waiting and maybe a total of 8-10+ years in US?
For those of us who are thinking that I want to go back eventually, what steps do you plan to take once you get your GC? The reason I raise this question is, it was easy to adapt to a new place when you were young. 6-10 years later (and a couple of kids later :-) what are some of the things you intend to do make your transition homewards easier? Has anyone considered taking on positions with significant travel to India(or your home country) so that you can get accustomed to the lifestyle/work environment/business back home?
For me: Wait another 5-7 years, in the meantime yes, considering taking on positions with significant travel to India (where I am from). Investing and paying for building a home/apartment.

Santb1975 is right.
If we stopped trying every time we failed we would not be here, we would still be in the caves looking for the next big invention.. the wheel.
Hell, if your folks stopped trying, you wouldn't be here in the first place.. hope you catch my drift :)
Every time we work on a bill we move a step forward. We have come a long way in the past 2 years. Some bills came and went and did not bring us any relief but that should not stop us from working hard when we see the next window of opportunity.

I think the at the heart of this kind of reckless, selfish 'crusade' is a problem with poor upbringing. Some kids are brought up to look at the world through myopic self-interests, and are molly coddled by their parents into believing that their narrow views are indeed honorable and respectable.
The sad reality is that such 'crusades' do nothing more than unite those against the larger cause of brown/black/non-white immigration and divide those that are already in pain.
No wonder then that history repeats itself ever so often when those from the 'great Eastern lands' can so easily be ruled by those with shorter histories and accomplishments.
Take a look at illegal immigrants. They break the law. Yet, they are able to unite so effectively to make themselves heard. For a group that has absolutely no locus standi for legal or political relief, they are amazingly effective in shaping the dialog around their interests.
As a strategy and communications professional (with a strong background in Harvard Law School mediation/negotiation and US public policy) I can vouch for the effectiveness of a united voice that speaks to larger interests oriented towards US economic gains. These kinds of narrow sub-optimal "causes" only make the USCIS and the larger establishment care less about legal employment based immigration.
Absent in this dialog from this 'erudite PhD' is analyses of root causes of underlying problems. For one, there is the absolutely crystal clear problem with country based quotas for employment based immigration in a country where the primary act, i.e., employment itself cannot be discriminated based on national origin. And so on and so forth.
Instead of taking cause with such short sighted and self-centered acts, why not apply your collective 'high skills' towards highlighting the POSITIVE CONTRIBUTIONS of legal immigrants and pushing for a better overall process?
Instead of collecting money to slit the wrists of those around you, why not join hands and petition the lawmakers for better, more transparent processing estimates?
Instead of trying to make a futile argument that EB1 > EB2 > EB3, why not attempt to have a real public policy dialog that reframes larger interests?
Further more, dont forget that when the USCIS needs to respond to such frivolous lawsuits, it costs US taxpayer dollars... which further alienates the USCIS and Citizens from the cause of legal immigration.
No wonder then we find an increase in backlash against non-white immigrants that seek a higher sense of entitlement... seriously... I can bet just as I did with that SunnySurya joker a while ago, put your EB2 petition up online and let us see if there really is no US Citizen available to do the job.
What makes it fair for a foreigner like you to come to this country and claim that there there is NO ONE to do the job based on which you seek to immigrate?
If you are really serious about US national interest and the larger question of fairness, it is only fair that you post the EB2 job and we confirm that there is no US person ready and able to take that job. And dont try those advertising tricks, I will hire a lawyer to smoke out your games.
BTW, I will be looking out for this lawsuit. I will get the details from you directly without you even knowing about it. Heck, I will even contribute to your "cause" so that you give me the details. Then, I will file a separate petition to have your specific EB case investigated for the merits your lawyer posed. Ready for that game?
Bottomline, I blame poor parenting for creating such characters in society that cause a drain on the moral fabric of humanity.

� 274a.14 Termination of employment authorization.
(a) Automatic termination of employment authorization. (1) Employment authorization granted under �274a.12(c) of this chapter shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of one of the following events:
(i) The expiration date specified by the Service on the employment authorization document is reached;
(ii) Exclusion or deportation proceedings are instituted (however, this shall not preclude the authorization of employment pursuant to �274a.12(c) of this part where appropriate); or
(iii) The alien is granted voluntary departure.
(2) Termination of employment authorization pursuant to this paragraph does not require the service of a notice of intent to revoke; employment authorization terminates upon the occurrence of any event enumerated in paragraph (a)(1) of this section.
However, automatic revocation under this section does not preclude reapplication for employment authorization under �274.12(c) of this part.
(b) Revocation of employment authorization —(1) Basis for revocation of employment authorization. Employment authorization granted under �274a.12(c) of this chapter may be revoked by the district director:
(i) Prior to the expiration date, when it appears that any condition upon which it was granted has not been met or no longer exists, or for good cause shown; or
(ii) Upon a showing that the information contained in the application is not true and correct.
(2) Notice of intent to revoke employment authorization. When a district director determines that employment authorization should be revoked prior to the expiration date specified by the Service, he or she shall serve written notice of intent to revoke the employment authorization. The notice will cite the reasons indicating that revocation is warranted. The alien will be granted a period of fifteen days from the date of service of the notice within which to submit countervailing evidence. The decision by the district director shall be final and no appeal shall lie from the decision to revoke the authorization.

Automatic termination of temporary employment authorization does not preclude a subsequent application for temporary employment authorization.
(2) A document issued by the Service prior to June 1, 1987, that authorized temporary employment authorization for any period beyond December 31, 1996, is null and void pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) of this section. The alien shall be issued a new employment authorization document upon application to the Service if the alien is eligible for temporary employment authorization pursuant to 274A.12(c).
(3) No notice of intent to revoke is necessary for the automatic termination of temporary employment authorization pursuant to this part.

Maybe highly intelligent people make irrational decisions.:)
Many of the H1B's are so involved in their work , they really donot follow their green card procedure and pressure their employers for better deal on filing their papers even when they have the chance.
New H1B's coming into the country should be given some guidance on the permanent residency process so that they donot end up like many of us in the forum waiting for years to get their residency.

well,
I guess I am pretty much in line with others.
For me, having GC will mean becoming a citizen one day and my visa hasseles will lessen tremendously even with only GC in hand. Right now,its next to impossible to get a 2-3week visitor visa for EU countries and actually the rest of the world..
Naturally, even being able to file for I485 would help my wife jump start her career, we would be able to commit to buying a house and I would be able to focus on some enterpenuer ideas. Our families would be able to come and spend extended 2-3months. Right now, they can only get 2 weeks and % of denials is frightetingly high....
Going back home is not an option as unemloyment rate is higher than ever, and I would not be able to support my family if I go back.
I will be 42 in may and already 7+ yrs in the US with PD Nov 2005...and I am slowly getting old for IT businees but GC process keeps me chained for employer, of course.
Hopefully, in a year or two things will be sort themselves out - if not we will be moving to Canada.
