Dude:
If you think you are qualified for an EB2 job why don't you apply for one and get another labor/140 filed rather than crying "Sour Grapes"? Get out of your comfort zone and try getting a new job. Simple. If you have been on an Eb3 since 2004, that explains your "Go getter" attitude. Be smart dude.
Well said. Especially in IT,every company irrespective of size is a consulting company in its own perspective.If its Microsoft, majority of the products are developed with a vast team size of thousands and no one can take a complete credit on that product, except the company.
That's why its called team work.Every individual team member contributes with their specalized skills and thats what they were hired for in first place.
Its just a matter that the Company felt that your skills require only a bachelor's degree for the work that you perform,whereas other company felt it requires a master's degree.
Also as a matter of fact since the last 10 years the technology has changed in such a fast pace,I can confidently say that just because someone is an architect in J2EE does not mean he is better than a Mainframe Programmer. Its just means that someone were at the right place at the right time during the Dot com boom.
Its easy for people working at big companies to move around and work for different projects as the size is directly proportional to the number of clients the company serves. Whereas for a small firm,due to their nature of business model,its always serving the Big Fish and supporting their projects. You can find number of sub-contractors working for IBM,HP etc etc. So if an employee of Big company and a contractor working on the same project does the same work,how are you as an employee better skilled than a contractor?
Its just that you chose a comfort zone by abiding by your comapnies policies,whereas a contractor chose to move around and work on exciting projects that suits his/her challenges.
So bottomline,someone being in EB2 or EB3 is just by choice of the individual and circumstances and here I assume each of them have same experience and qualification.
Example someone having an Engg degree from IIT is no different than a person from an average engg working on the same project. Its the IIT graduate that chose to work on the project that and average engg qualification person chose to work.
Same thing applies to EB2 and EB3 as well.

Amit:
I understand your concerns that if there's a huge crowd, nothing will come out of it, in all the din created by the crowd and everyone throwing their suggestions.
Right now the question is hypothetical as we don't have a overwhelming confirmations of 100+! Even a crowd of 25 is okay, if we can reach that number. Since this is the first ever MI level meet, I will be surprised (and happy too) if we cross 25-30.
If it's 100+ a new level of pre-planning will be necessary. Our leaders ( cagedcatcus? chintu25?) will need to book a hall, set a clear and focused agenda (so that we don't lose focus), get IV core to address us by telephone/speaker phones, they can even persuade an Immigration attorney (trying to reach out to future clients) to address our questions etc.. It will be a different ball game! It can be handled effectively without limiting numbers.
I think for first meeting 10-12 are enough. Let us meet and decide upon the strategy to have more people. I would prefer not to have lot of people in the first meeting.

Is it really that bad in canada? I think if you are looking for jobs (no.s & salary) comparable to US that won't happen. But I think the general quailty of life in canada is pretty comparable to US.
Same school system/corporate env/law enforcement/etc ..
I don't think any place will compare to living in US as far as # of available jobs/salary is concerned. You may find more jobs in India but the general quality of life in India is still sub-par. If it were really at par with west, nobody would be trying to immigrate here.
I am sorry to tell you that by going to Canada, in the end you may be better off going back home. I lived there as a PR and I have many Canadian citizens that are tired of the lame system back in the Socialist Canada.
As a general note, I think if you have already been in US 8-9 years you have already made enough investment and sacrifice. Its worth waiting for some more time. But set your own timeframe, don't wait endlessly. Trust me this can go on, this might be a well thought poicy decision to slow down processing at BEC's and introduce retrogression. This will trigger a lot of ppl like us to leave and they can get the work done cheaper (off course, there is always more ppl ready to fill my shoes).

Hey guys! In the best good-natured way let's look at reasons why not to attend:
Money? = We can help you cover your trip expenses
Time? = Many of us cancelled important business, if you try you can find the time!
Fear? = Of what? We will make our voices heard, and it's our right! We have been abused! Nothing to fear!
Feel lazy? = We all do! Make the effort, and then we can party when your green card arrives in the mail!
Have a date? = The rally is better! If you don't get a green card then you won't have the boy or girl either!
OK this last one was more tongue-in-cheek, but seriously guys, talk to us! What prevents you from attending? We will help you overcome the obstacles! Seriously!

Thanks for the clarification, Dixie. Your explanation that 'special rule labor certifications' mean that the candidate is the best person for the job, not minimally qualified, makes sense. Do you have a posted reference somewhere - a USCIS rule or DOL clarification - regarding this?

Don't you guys think there is no spark anymore in IV? Have you heard anything incourging from IV lately? Where is QGC or whatever there name is? Where is money?
Many many times members asked for update once in a while, but what u got , nothing.
Come one guys, stop dreaming.
Updates:
The updates are provided periodically on forums from IV core. We are currently working on the House side for pushing SKIL forward. There are a few things missing in SKIL bill that we would like to get introduced. Mainly its the 3-year extensions of EAD and AP and 3- year ext of H1 for labor applicants that is missing.
We are also trying to assess of SKIL in house is gonig to go forward, and in the event it doesnt, what other bills can be vehicles for putting our provisions like the S 1932 style.
We try not to restrict free voice and opinion from members on forums however, if it gets downright nasty we will edit posts and censor. But in principle we try to avoid it as much as possible.
If you have questions, and if you think that IV core is not up to the job and needs help or needs to pace up, or if you think you have questions for IV core, please pick up the phone and call the 281 number listed on the website's "Contact Us" and call us. We will answer ALL your questions as to what we are doing.
That would be much more productive way of finding answers to your questions.

Giving suggestion, since i went thru similar situation,i.e moved to a diff state.
We moved to Florida from California last week. Did AR-11 yesterday. We are about to file AP, our I-485 is pending at NSC but Florida comes under TSC.
File AR-11 first, after you see the LUD's(should not take more than 5 businesss days), which means ur new address is acknowledged by USCIS sytem , apply for AP
So not sure where to send our application.
Send to your current residence Service center, i.e. TSC
Intending to send following supporting documents.
1. 2 PP Size photos
2. EAD copy as we switched from H1B to EAD
3. I-485 receipts.
Should we include any additional docs like Copy of your previously issued AP or passport copy (1st ,2nd page and last 2 pages) or Last expired I-94 copy.
4.Old approved AP copies, if any.
Any advise would be of great help.
I did paper filing, it took about 3 weeks to get approved.Hope this helps
Thanks
Raj

For President immigration is one of the important issue but not the top most priority. In that high skilled immigration is a part of the immigration. EB reform is just a very small for them compared many challenges in the country. But any President will not Veto any high skilled immigration bill if passed in congress. So congress needs to be satisfied in this issue. I think congress has more power in dealing with immigration.
You said you dont want to get into the discussion on who is better and yet by explicitly mentioning who you think is better, it seems discussion is started :D Being a Friday evening - work slow and I cant help but jump in :)
American presidential politics are highly media driven. When I came to this country and started following politics closely (12+ years ago), initially I was fascinated by all the discussions and transparent process etc. But over the years got convinced that its all a facade - election process here is as much flawed as in a "third world" country. Election 2000 is the biggest proof. Even worse, here people are easily swayed by non-issues. Media creates hype and media creates perceptions about a candidate, real issues and concerns takes back seat most of the times. Just see now - for last couple weeks everyone is talking about a VP candidate - the power of a VP is limited but yet everyone is talking about her and almost forgot the presidential candidate of the same party. The republican favoring press wants to project her as the next savior (which unfortunately seems to be working) and whip up their cadre. The democratic favoring press wants to project her apparent inexperience etc. We may soon see who is going to win in their "spin". In general republicans are pretty good in spin stories and project an apparently dumb candidate as someone with "whom you can have a beer with" and get him elected; now they might even succeed in projecting a 30+ year senator who backs current administration as an agent of change !!?!!! and people might even fall for that argument. Of course there are spin stories on the other side too.
Anyways, whoever wins this time - I think our situation wont change much and might even get worse. As the economy get worse - it would be very difficult to get any new bill favoring us (note I am talking about EB green cards not H1B). There is already a good effort by likes of numbersusa and programmers guild to project HR5882 as if it will kills jobs. As we know HR5882 is only for recapturing unused greencards the beneficiaries of which are mostly in this country already. It should have been a completely non-controversial bill - if we can see the resistance its facing we can imagine about any other bill that propose increase of GC numbers or something such. So prospects for anything better happening is very poor irrespective of who the next president is - that's my reading on this.

great then, we welcome you to the group.
Lets collect as many as possible, then we can do a final count.
It seems that if we are in ballpark of 20, we will meet at the community center. With grace, if we are more, we can modify the place a bit.
I am glad to see the responses.... lets spread the words...... bring co workers and friends whoare stuck too....

If Senators are not willing to indefinitely extend AC-21 clause due to fears of skewed country-wise immigration numbers then it can be argued that at least to relieve the current backlog the AC-21 can be put for a limited time period ( 5 years or so). this may be a workable compromise if the other goal is difficult to achieve.
