Good point. You are absolutely right, help_please. S.774 is the original DREAM Act which did not distinguish between legals and illegals. But it never went anywhere. The DREAM Act that was part of CIR specifically made it applicable to only holders of Z visa. Please refer to S.1639 on the same site and look at Sec 612-620.
We do not know which version is being introduced now. The way things are going in Congress, I would not be very surprised if they make it applicable to only undocumented.

Please visit this site and search for bill # s. 774. This bill does not specify that you must be illegal to qualify.

How can they change the interpretation of law in 2006?
Your interpretation is very simple. However one draft the law (before 2000 or after 2000), EB3 is prefered than EB2 and EB1, just to address the diversity.
The question is simple. Whether diversity is important or employment preference is important? What is the intent of the congress in 202 a 5? Has DOS understand the intent? This is very very important for oversubscribed countries. We know IV is working hard to address the retro. This is also equially important. Even if we achive in incresing the EB visa numbers (by SKIL/CIR) by 2 times or 3 times it will not be usefull for India and China. Thats why it is very important.
In FY2005 India consumed about 16,000 EB2 visa. The total visa issued still about 40,000 only. From 2006 it is going to be 2800 only.
How can they change the interpretation of law in 2006?
Just compare 16,000 with 2,800. With this rate, an Indian guy with PD in 2005 or 2006 may not get GC till his retirement. However a non-Indian, Chinese EB2 guy with PD 2006 get GC with in 6 months.

They didn't mentioned it in the press release though..
But this is USCIS. To calculate 21605-20000 they need full business day. Jokes apart they haven't mentioned. My guess is probability of winning lotto on Masters quota would be far higher than on regular quota. I could be wrong.

My EAD is pending in NSC for almost 2 months, Filed on June 9th (Efile), got fingerprint notice in June 3d week, done on Jul 8th. Nothing happened after that.
Since my dates are current (EB2 I, June 2005), I am just thinking they MAY aprove my 485 instead of EAD. Just a thought. What do you guys say?

Hi
I left my previous employer more than 6 months back , he didnt paid me my final paycheck and i complained to DOL since 3 months...now wehn i asked for my W2 he said me to do whatever i feel and he is adamant at not giving it....moreover he said that his company has suffered losses worth 25K and his lawyer has sent a legal notice in this regard....and when i said how will we file taxes he says he wished for me to be out of status and go back.....
Since i have complained to DOL and also it is more than 6 moths since i left his organisation giving proper notice and have email confirmations, can he issue me legeal notice.....?please advice...
He is also saying that he has written to USCIS that I am fraud,....though I have been working in fortune 100 companies and now also working in reputed company and never lied for anything and was on project from day 1 since I came to States....? can USCIS cause problems for me in future...
Also, he seems to have closed his company..
Folks please advice....
Keep all email correspondences....You can infact make him pay dearly for harasement...

No sir, I remember they provided them with lot of information, it's just that these 2 Senators want to kill H1B program, they had replied to him or not is immaterial.."non answer" meant they didn't answer his questions but rather gave some vague reply of how h-1 was good for usa.
If I was on the receivng end of that response; I would have thought that these guys are playing with me and by not answering the quesitons; then they are obviously trying to hide something. Therefore, I will attack them in another way to make them conform to the behaviour I want.

I wish you all the best. This kind of cheating from the employer hurts the most. I wish some immigration lawywer or ILA steps up and advises what employees can do in these kind of situations. I know labor substitution is legal but in this case the employer gave false hopes to the employee that he will sponsor his GC and that should be illegal and could be used as an excuse to sue the employer.
Most of us hesitate to hire lawyer to go after these sc** bag employers because we are scared of the lawyers as well. We don't know how much it will cost us and we don't know what the outcome will be. That's why it will be helpful if some reputed lawyer or ILA comes out and tell us what our options are when these kind of things happen.
But then employers and these lawyers go hand in hand so I doubt if one goes against the other. I wish atleast USCIS gives us some guidelines.
I bet that if we can successfully sue one cheating employer then we will see hundreds of similar cases and the employers will be scared to even think about doing this again.

You are free to go back to your home land if you feel like you are not welcomed here.
This is a sensitive issue and people have their own beliefs depending on their levels of exposure and experience.
Those who have been here since 1995 or before, most feel the growing frustration among a few(or shud I say most) groups of society against the south-asian community. You can attribute it to sep11, job losses or any other events..but the bottom-line is there is a difference..
those who havent seen the past can not see any difference...and argue all is green...well that is good also...ignorance is a bliss
That said, all know when to go back to homeland and do not need anyone's advise in that. Life is a trade-off, you take some and you give some...I guess most immigrants from India will say they feel more empowered, more homely, more natural in India than here..
Professional life takes us to many places...live your life wherever you are.

Since the CP guys are in minority here , if IV has to invest for them (read we all have to pay for them ) let us see how much they can contribute for their own provision. Let us see if each one of them contribute more than 500 dollars to IV and posts the paypal number.
Why should majority allow a provison for some minority who do not even want to first contribute.
It's not like IV is not addressing their problem with the current mandate. IV seeks to address the retrogression issue. If retrogression is addressed, it will benefit the minority CP filers just as much as the majority 485 filers.
These two (willwin and tinku) somehow fail to understand that big picture and are only interested in getting IV contributors to pay for their short term interests - all because they made a mistake, got greedy, gambled, thought they can beat the 485 filers to the finish line by going CP... bla-bla-bla.
Not on my dime.

I applied on May18 for I-140 and will be applying to I485 soon.. and would get EAD...so what happens to EAD and AP...I cant beleive they are
waste..Probabaly people with pending I-140 will be subject to the new systems..??..what do you guys think??..Its not pratical to drive people down the Queue again..
Nothing will go th waste until this bill becomes the law. After that, you still have another year or more before the points system kicks in. It is when they start the points system (oct 2008) when they will look into this dreaded date of May 15 2007 and decide on people's fate. Until then, keep doing what you are doing.
