COMMENT ON UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT
WASHINGTON, D.C. � U.S. Senators Bill Frist (R-Tenn.), Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.), Mel Martinez (R-Fla.), Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) today released the following joint statement regarding the unanimous consent agreement to bring comprehensive immigration reform legislation back to the Senate floor Monday:
�Under the unanimous consent agreement reached today, the Senate will resume the immigration debate next week. Senate Republicans are united in their commitment to an open and full debate on multiple amendments -- just as we have done on other bills of this magnitude like bankruptcy and class action reform. �We are willing to put differences aside so we can get on with the important work to be done securing our borders and grappling with the 12 million illegal immigrants currently living in our country. We are also in agreement that efforts to curtail the debate prematurely will only derail this process. We call on Senate Democrats to allow an open debate and votes on this complex and challenging issue.�

The summary in OpenCongress.org says below: that means it is only for family based gc not employmement based gc?? where can we read full info??
"
This legislation would reform the family-based immigration system and speed up the process for family members of legal immigrants to secure visas. Specifically, it would reclassify spouses and children of legal immigrants as immediate relatives, raise the per-country family-sponsored immigration limits from 7 percent to 10 percent of total admissions, recapture visas that went unused in previous years due to bureaucratic errors, allow widows and spouses to remain eligible for visas after the death of a sponsoring family member, and more.

For upper middle class, OBC shouldn't matter much since you can afford to enroll your children in private schools and have them work in private sector once they reach an appropriate age. If they are US citizens, they can come back to the US anytime for education and/or employment.
Talking of reservation and discrimination, what legal immigrants are facing in this country is not much different in my opinion. You can't even get your driver's license easily, let alone permanent residence. Most of us are here by choice even though we face all these issues in our daily life.
Maverick_2008
Yes my note was for humor.
But to answer questions :
out of all useful land , I guess africa has lots of uninhabited land!, so someone would not mind selling! Its not to offend anyone. I have great respect for africans, being aware that we come from them!
Me being an indian upper class guy, and this OBC thing going on back home, I dont think I belong to that country that much, where me/my children will be discreminated against!!!
So dont you guys now think we need our OWN country???

I am on H4 Visa. Recently i got charged with misdeamener for comming out of store with out paying bill for one of the product. Not arrested and no finger prints taken...just given a slip to attend the court. My attorney advised to attend first time offender program, where after some community service, my case would be dismissed and i need to file for an expungement for trashing all criminal records. Now my question is i have my H4 extension that needs to filed in jan 2012. If my expungement process don't complete before my husband file for h4 extension, will USCIS deport me for having criminal record ?
If there is a possibility for deportation, then i will be leaving to my country then get deported. So that my husband will only file h1B extension and later we both will move to canada at some point as we have PR in canada.
Any advise, will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Roxy

You mean to say sell US real estate for GC/citizenship? I don't see this going very far. I can see anti immigrants waiting for this one. Best is to lobby using aides of big corporations, developing relationship with lobbyists who already have connections, hiring lawyers, developing strong case, donations in election campaigns etc. All of this needs loads and loads of money. Are we ready to donate to IV and build strong lobbying group for our cause? That is the only way to change our current situation.
Sending flowers, sending pizzas, sending all these proposals will only fall on deaf ears. Congress understands language of money to pass laws, Rest of the country/orgranizations understand language of laws/court.
For those who think assisting US economy by buy houses (for pending GC applicants) is like selling a GC are just plain dumb! No wonder why we dont have a resolution to the 10 yr waiting that's been killing EB immigrants, is because ppl like you, who love to take pain want others to live through this for the lifetime.
People have been waiting for 10+ years here waiting to get GC, waiting patiently, waiting so patiently that we are getting mentally sick waiting and waiting. How do u think the quota system is ..its not fair in the first place for EB immigrants when we are already here on H/L visas... . So dude pls stop ur bull shit and dont discourage by coming up with ridiculous statements "You mean to say sell US real estate for GC/citizenship?"
We the prospective, EB immigrants want to settle here. Its more than a home here already if you are living and paying taxes for 10+ years.. We just want to buy a house and a permanent visa status is only going to help. Its a win-win situation for both sides....
We are not looking them to sell GC for houses to ppl who are residing outside. This is a relief mechanism for ppl who are waiting and waiting and just plain waiting here in the EB queue!
Ok.. now go and think..do u enjoy pain or want to do anything about it!
I would strongly urge IV to take this and would be willing help and have a dialogue with any state/congress representative they want me to.... How do u think it wont' fly. US govt is spending and bailing out trillions of dollars to help cure this cause. If we buy houses, it is only going to help the cause. Most of us have good credit score and can afford to buy houses, this will only help the very thing that the govt. is trying to stabilize.
I'm surprised, how come IV is not aggressively pursuing this. What better way to help everyone here. If they want to address the fundamental issues they certainly can, but this the immediate focus and like quota recapture, will provide immediate relief to decades long wait for applicants!
So pls stop disparaging the effort. Its a good cause for both sides.
We want to be a permanent resident and contribute to US economy. So help us god!

i am just curious about the alternatives that people have to iv. i came up with ZERO. there couldnt be a greater intersection of interests and goals between potential eb-gcfilers and iv. other organizations are burdened with a much larger agenda with ours being a footnote mostly. & there are ZERO ACTIVE advocates for our cause, just a few journalists here & there along with editorial boards of papers like wsj & nyt that have little influence in this debate. teh corporate lobbyists do ask for more ebgc's and h1's but their timeframe to achieve it is very flexible - they can wait for the political tide to turn. how many iv guys are comfortable with such a timescale to achieve this?if we look at the anti's/bigots,as abhorrent as their goals are there's something to be learnt from the way they tap their supporters energy & $$. they have paid fulltime staff devoted entirely to churnin out 'academic' papers blaming everything on immigrants & they dont care if they have to abuse statistics or rewrite history on the way bcos no one cares or have time to question that. they have 'thinktanks' to 'think' exclusively about vilifying immigrants. they have tv hosts with audiences in the 100s of 1000s to demagogue relentlessly, moving/setting the parameters of the debate thats going to make things much much worse. so what are the ppl on the sidelines doing? anyone?

Good point , Yes we need to give our response to it. but neither H1B says its only for INNOVATORS rather it says only SKILLED workers. Not even every PhD is innovator . May be in some circumstances the so said perspective is true but i dont agree with every point.
I work in a comp where mostly they have GC or Citz and in some cases they waited even 2 months + and then decided to take H1b's.
There are no enough Americans who can do the Job if these guys think its H1B and remove H1B every Job will land as an outsourcing . If not h1B many Outsourcing IT firms will find some way to temp bring IT pros and eventually outsource.
The Key point that IV is making is how much taxes we are paying and how good we are making to American economy. If they remove H1B ,then they understand how and what they have lost.

What kind of charges may be filed under the following points?
1. Processing and approving 60K I-485's in 2-weeks (12 times normal speed) just to avoid the flood of applications in July, when you consider that their typical speed is around 10K/month. 25K applications were approved in just 2-days (37.5 times normal speed) over the last weekend.
2. USCIS requested visa numbers for cases where FBI background check was not completed. In other words, they requested numbers before processing could be completed for those cases and I-485s could be approved. Serious issue of lapse of national security here.
3. USCIS apparently approved I-485's of some people whose dates were not even current in June, even if their FBI check had been completed and I-485 otherwise ready for approval.
4. USCIS apparently approved I-485's of some people in July after DOS published the updated visa buletin on July 2nd advising that all visa numbers were exhausted for FY 2007.
Any other points, and possible charges in the lawsuit using those points?

I think you should go to either Eatentown( Exit 105 on GSP). Before they started accepting all immigrant applications at all DMVs they used to ask every one to go there. I think you may be able to get a temporary extension for month or two.

I dont think USCIS is thinking that way. They are just picking a stack of application ( mix of all EB1 2 3 for all nationalities) and validating the applications to see if anything is missing or if there are potential reasons to deny it. If they can deny it they will do it promptly and that is one less case to be shown as pending. If they need additional info they will issue RFE and get updates. If they feel satisfied they can pre-adjudicate application and claim that count in their yearly review as acheivement.
well my view is that it is not that obvious !! say someone is in EB3-I with a priority date of 2004 or EB2-I with a PD of 2006 / 2007 - what would USCIS do ?
these are not the low hanging cases (as opposed to EB2 with PD of 2004 or EB3 with PD of 2001) ..or in other words - there is less chance that they will become current soon ..in that case, does USCIS close the case and put the file away or will they still pre-adjudicate ??
(I am not as informed -- since I have not read the article in detail ..and hence my post is more of a question ...)

Yes I think we should also try to see if non-immigrant people who have already bought a home they should higher priority date than people buying now. Also given the case of ailing auto industry add buying American car in the list too.

Raju,
Thanks for your suggestion. I did query about the kind of advertising that we can do. It doesn't look like we'll get much money. Since most of the people are viewing the forums and forums typically have low advertising rates because people using them tend to be highly engrossed in the topic.
Still thanks for your opinion.

Forgive me for my ignorance..
I-140 is signed by the employer, not the beneficiary (employee/applicant).
