this article does nothing other than to raise FUD. Out of whole USA population this article says that 7000 births were from foreigners. and then it assumes
'Many, but not all, of those mothers could be "birth tourists," '
words like 'Many', 'could' are used to justify the 'research' someone has done.
of course it forgets that most of them could be foreign workers long term work visas.
The cost of average medical birth in hospital is above $50k.. do you think people have that much money to pay for it ? If someone has $50k to blow on medical expenses then probably they don't need US citizenship.
Secondly the article propagates the 'anchor baby' myth. A person can only sponsor the parents when they reach age of 18.

In my view It is as important as anything else for a EB organization. We should
especialy be careful with hard country limit and other related issues, It can take a turn for worse and end up EB organizations with different national backgrounds fighting for a slice in a pie rather than getting it bigger enough to hold everyone.
Ethnic diversity is good for IV, and we should encourage everybody to join regardless of their origin!
AAPI is not an EB related organization - it is a professional organization like the AMA, but all of its members are of Indian origin!
AAPI and its President agreed to this role / endorsement after they were approached for their support. Some doctors who are members of IV, are also members of AAPI. In return, they will not be getting anything - what can IV give an organization that is over 25 years old? Their meetings are attended by all kinds of lawmakers - including Presidents (of the US)! It would be foolish to not want their help - but then IQ scores are not a prerequisite for posting on IV Forums!
BTW, only docs who are affected are from India & China - all docs fall under EB2! (And, also STEM!)
FYI - doctors who worked to advance IV's goals travelled on their expense, even cross-country, to attend an AAPI meeting and it proved very fruitful in many ways to advance IV's causes. When this meeting was being held, the STEM provisions had already been included in all drafts - and these docs did not need to do anything else! Yet, these docs travelled to try & advance all of IV's goals!
If somebody has objections to country quota limit removal - take it up with the Core group & rest of IV!
We need help from everybody in this fight! AAPI can only help IV, not the other way around!
I do not understand these misgivings about AAPI's endorsement at all - am I missing something? This endorsement came after a lot of effort from a lot of people, and was actually initiated at the request of key members of the Core Group!

Increasing of visa number will help every one including who are waiting for I 485. More visa number will make priority date move. How come they are not interested?
Suppose IV decides not to focus on I-485 filing but some other issue. By this analogy, all members with interest in I-485 will leave.

I was in a wait state for 16 months until my 140 was cleared earlier this month. Continue business as usual, your case will eventually go thru if all your docs are in place and your case is clean ( no 3 yr Ed issues).

guys,
you need to understand why we were in DC. you also need to think about what message we were sending. each person's philosophy about national anthems is not at issue here. this is a pointless discussion. frankly i am tired of people (i am one) that do not live in their countries but lose no opportunity to retreat in jingoistic nationalism. want want want...but no give?
if no one has serious objection, i will close this thread shortly. the above comments are not for any specific person/poster. just a general view.

Press coverage in India is an excellent idea. I think this bloody american press is biased. We should all write to Indian press and highlight our issues in strong words. If we can get 100+ letters to TimesofIndia, HT, IE , NDTV, Deccan, Hindu, etc, we can highlight the discrimination and indentured servitude to the young Indian generation who has high hopes for USA. If 100+ H2B workers can stage dharna in front of an embassy/white house why cant issues of Indian people get highlighted? Lets us show the job here in the same light as slavery in middle east. I am sure David Mulford will be ringing a few phones after that.

Question 13 .
Can I leave my sponsoring employer once I get my green card? TOP
One may switch employers during the I-485 process if (a) the I-485 has been pending for over 180 days and is not yet adjudicated and (b) the offer of new employment is in the same or similar job. While the USCIS may use the description of the job duties from the DOT or the O*NET to determine similarity in jobs, they have verbally agreed that they may be willing to consider a broader definition in the future. Besides job title and description, the salary from the new employer would at least need to satisfy concerns regarding the public charge provisions and should be as closed to the amount listed on the labor certification as possible.
Clearly, the law before AC21 was passed in October 2000 required that a person continue working with the employer that sponsored the green card for at least 6 months to 1 year after obtaining the green card. Although AC21 allows the changing of employers if the I-485 is not adjudicated within 180 days, there is no change in the law with respect to the intention of the employer to offer and the employee to undertake "permanent," full-time work with the sponsoring employer for the job advertised. Keep in mind that a green card job offer is legally considered a future job offer. Therefore, the employee must have a good-faith intention to work for the employer after the green card is approved, and the employer must have a good-faith intention to employ the employee after the green card is approved. Even if one worked for the sponsoring employer for several years while pursuing the green card process, that would not count as future intent. Generally, 6 months to 1 year after obtaining the green card is a safe time period to change employment. Failure to stay at the sponsoring employer may result in problems at the naturalization stage!

there are few famous talk show hosts in KABC radio (Southern california), atleast 5 of them, who have larger listeners and they have devoted one hour everyday regd immigration issues (until they kill this CIR bill because they dont like amnesty issue), they do usually their programs from morning 8am and 5pm-11pm, so I request IV core team to contact their producers using their 1-800 numbers and explain the other side of story i.e. documented workers and how they suffer and what relief this bill can provide us.
for more details, please visit:

IV core team: please contact Rush Limbaugh's talk show host, he has atleast a million listeners.

I am stuck in EB3 and want to apply for EB2. How does one find companies willing to do EB2? With desi consulting companies you can ask upfront to the recruiter but with american companies can you do the same?
Can users suggest some companies who are currently doing EB2?

Thanks

Raj,
Sorry to hear about your lengthy RFE. I received a similar RFE but just asked contract documents between my company and client. I have 2 layers in between. My company, Prime Vendor and Client.
I've submitted POs showing the contract and a letter from Prime Vendor stating that I work on a project for Client.
Just responded to the RFE and keeping my fingers crossed.
Hope this helps...

It is good idea. I discussed this my lawyer and according to him, nowadays USCIS is very strict about it and trying to match the requirements of EB2 against the candidate's credentials. If it perfectly matches only they will approve. It will be an option for those guys with EB3 with PD past 2005 and with enough EB2 credentials, primarily a masters degree and if it from US, then great.
Please do not go into this option just by stating that I have 100 years experience with such and such company. I will say, if your are a masters degree holder (from US the best) and is employed with a major employer for more than 3-5 years, then only attempt this. Do not try it if you are employed with some Desi company. This is harm both the candidate and the employer.
My two cents worth!!!
My lawyers opinion was completely opposite to yours. It does not harm the employee nor the employer in any way. If it did then employer would never agree to it in the first place. Also, there is no effect on the existing EB3 application. There are numerous lawyers like Murthy and Ron Gotcher who have written articles on the ease with which this process is possible and published their success stories.
Maybe its time you got a new lawyer and maybe its time you posted your details on your profile.
