Not from last nights interview, but in primaries season during Politico's live interview on CNN Obama said this about legal immigration:
"It is important that we fix the legal immigration system, because right now we've got a backlog that means years for people to apply legally. What's worse is, we keep on increasing the fees, so that if you've got a hard working immigrant family, they've got to hire a lawyer; they've got to pay thousands of dollars in fees. They just can't afford it. It's discriminatory against people who have good character, but don't have the money. We've got to fix that. "
I know that's what he said but if you read that statement again, nowhere he talks about Highly skilled legal immigration. I think he is talking about the family based immigration, which again caters mostly to the Vote bank. From everything I have read, Obama seems to be anti-outsourcing and neutral (or maybe negative) towards highly skilled legal immigration

Are they asking for $20 money order or a stamped envelope again? I won't be surprised if these people are pocketing the extra money.

Republicans also are considering a bill that would overhaul visas for high-skilled foreigners.
Senate Republicans are also discussing ways to increase the number of visas for high-skilled workers, now capped at 65,000 a year.

Nice idea but does anyone honestly think the DOL cares. I am somewhat fortunate that my 2002 labor finally got approved in the middle of 2006. My son is not so lucky since he turned 21 while I was waiting. When my senators office took the matter of my son aging out up with the DOL I was told to put him on an F1 visa and send him to college so he can REMAIN (he wants to LIVE here, big difference) in the United States. These people do NOT care what they are doing to your lives. They do not care that my son has NO path to permanent residency any more and that I have to write the enormous check for his tuition twice each year so that I can still have him in the same country as me and his father. I feel awful for anyone still waiting for their labor certification but at least you will eventually get in line for your green card and will get ahead of those filing now with much later priority dates. You are indeed victims but I just wanted to point out that there are thousands of young adult children who have had their hopes for getting a green card totally shattered by this backlog center fiasco.

Just to add, Not sure if this is true but there is news that Sarah Palin cheated on her husband, and had a relationship with the business partner of her husband. If this is true, then it would imply that she is not a good mother, she not a good wife and she is cunning & opportunist politician, with very little experience and a heartbeat away from her finger on the nuclear button when she is ready to go to war with Russia. Watch some 'Sarah Palin' youtube videos and see for yourself.
Now please don't call this "deep sexism", did anyone see Dick Morris around?
There is something about politicians who cannot pronounce the word "nuclear" properly. They all seem to somehow become Presidents. Maybe we should start pronouncing the word "nuclear" differently, it may help us to us to become president. :D

Sorry eastindia but you are plain wrong. The US is not East India Company.
Here are the facts about the US checks and balances:
1. No single entity - not the President, Senate, House of Representatives, state Governors, nor anyone else - has the power to overturn a US Supreme Court ruling. Supreme Court decisions cannot be nullified by other parts of government.
2. If the Supreme Court strikes down a federal law, Congress can always modify the law until it is such that the Supreme Court does not consider it to violate the U.S. Constitution. Then they would have to vote to pass the new law, and the President would sign it.
3. The Supreme court can overrule its own rulings.
4. Congress can rewrite a law to conform with Constitutional standards.
5. The Constitution can be amended. This would require a two-thirds vote of both houses of Congress, and ratification by three-quarters of the states (actually, at least 39).
If you think a law is unconstitutional then it can be challenged in the court. For example, there was an article in WSJ about some lawyers planning to challenge the health care bill once it becomes a law. One of the reasons: the health care law would require a person to buy health insurance, which infringes upon constitutionally guaranteed individual right of freedom. Now not to deflect from the topic of this thread, the bottomline is if you think the law is unconstitutional then you can challenge the law in the court.
The Key Point: Equal opportunity employement advancement is protected by Constitution ("Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)")and hence the Supreme Court can overturn the per country quota limitation if the Supreme Court finds that the per country quota leads to discrimination at employment, which is unconstitutional.
I agree with you.
Country limits is a law. A court has to follow the law. Court does not decide if the law is fair or unfair.
If you want to change the law, go to congress.
BUT SOME PEOPLE HAVE TOO MUCH MONEY TO THROW AWAY TO LAWYERS.
And whats with big lawyer names? Just because a lawyer has a website and writes on a website, does not mean he is a big lawyer. Look beyond the marketing of lawyers and see their skills, track record and genuine concern for your long wait. You are asking the same lawyers to help you whose bread and butter comes because you are applicants in a long line.
Highly educated innocents!

After searching on google, i found almost 20 cases on first 2-3 pages itself indicating the denial notice and MTR.
I think they are just sending denials to put us in another limbo.... Its going to be the hardest and longest 10-15 days of my life........
Please don't get too frustrated. If they denied your application by error, they will have to approve it when you file for MTR.
By the mean time, you may want to get in touch with a reputable lawyer who has experience in such issues. I can suggest you few if you really need one.
Remember - if you have never been out of status, never committed a serious crime, and all your documents are in good shape, it will be hard for the USCIS to deny a MTR.
Please PM me if you need some reputable lawyers' names.

I also think that the NSC Service Center update issued on November 20th, 2006 is not still valid. ( To file 485 without i 140 receipt notice)
Actually NSC was very slow in processing receipt notices during that time and hence the update was issued.
But now, the maximum time to send out a receipt notice is 15 days. So I am not sure if we can rely on that update.
Did u find anywhere that this NSC update is invalid, if yes please provide more info.

The attorney i had was Jeffries expensive but good.
I have a BS in biology and computers (was on F1 visa)
Then I did research on cancer cells at the university while trying to get into Graduate school. Got my MS in information Science and also an MBA.
For MBA I did my research on Economic growth and Military spending.
After MS i got job h1b for a research facility was doing mba at the same time. Switched employer to work for a multi national corporation. Quite my job for multi national because they would not apply green card started work for a consulting body shop they apply for my green card.
Now Soon I will give my resignation.
You really have a great lawyer to pursue EB1 while your EB2 application is in process (that too without even requesting) .... I almost cant believe that there are such lawyers in immigration field. Congratulations and have fun.
As an aside I will tell my story - have couple masters and a PhD with several publications. My EB2 thru employer is pending. I requested (actually begged) my employer and attorney to pursue EB1 as well - they said no - lawyer's response is EB1 is very difficult and you should be someone of nobel prize calibre etc.etc. I tried convincing by giving several examples of my friends/classmates in PhD who got approved with fewer publications/patents. The lawyer got irritated (maybe because I am providing info that he is not very well aware of) that I am actually giving suggestions and he and HR indicated that I should be happy that they are sponsoring me for EB2. I went ahead with another private attorney to submit another EB1 I140 separately which is still pending. EB1 needs lot of paperwork on our own and needs employer assistance in providing solid proof that work is of high importance - I didnt get that assistance so not very positive about EB1 approval. For now just waiting for my EB2 PD to become current.
I am telling this story because my experience with immigration attorneys is generally bad and its same with scores of friends so much so that I am convinced that immigration lawyers may be one of the least competent professionals in US. In US customer satisfaction is everything in almost all professions - customer is god because he/she is giving us business. But in immigration lawyer community - the end customer may not be the one who is giving them money and even worse the HR people in companies (even the best ones) are either ignorant of or scared of immigration laws and just defer everything to lawyers who kind of exploit this situation. So if you come across a good immigration lawyer please say thanks to him/her on all our behalf.

In the scenario presented above, or where USCIS erroneously issued a GC when PD is not current, the obligation on the GC applicant's part is to report the error for appropriate resolution by USCIS. Even if the GC applicant (like my best friend who got his GC in 2008) is not aware of the detailed process, and is not tracking RD, PD, ND, the applicant still has an attorney who is representing the applicant. Also, filing the I-485, doesn't automatically guarantee the issuance of a GC (eg of withdrawing $100, expecting to get $100 but getting more than that amount - comparison is not apples to apples when talking about expecting GC after you file I-485).
In the end, when these situations occur it boils down to doing what is ethically and legally appropriate, within an appropriate response time frame.
-Nola
Nola, your intentions are good, but I do not agree with your conclusion. You are biased against yourself and other applicants.
1. who, applicant or cis, is required to make sure gc process is properly followed?
2. also, if someone goes thru' "pain of gc revocation" due to cis error, isn't it ethical (and legally required) to provide "ead/ap" (so person can continue to work and feed his family, be in status), "reinstatement of (again) pending 485" etc. to that person by cis?
3. are these legal & ethical norms only applies to one party or both parties involved in this process?
