1) Fast-track GC process for Masters degree holders from US universities. This will be the least controversial, boost admissions (and money) flowing into universities, and clear up backlog in regular GC queue. Its a win-win and most senators, congressmen have voiced support for it already. We can get very good support from University lobbyists also (if they exist!!).

We, the "aliens".
"Part of my frustration is to hear illegal immigrants called immigrants when I'm called an alien. I'm doing things right, but I'm still called an alien," ... "If I lose my job tomorrow, my reward is a ticket back home." Very true...
Most of my colleagues on L1/H1 visas went back upon completion of their 5/6 year terms, they never applied for GC. Couple of them are right now packing back.
The management of the company (not IT related) bravely decided to replace the "aliens" by american engineers. This proud decision had a disaterous consequence - our international based customers pulled back and found other contractors. Despite of all the money pumped to promote the "american" presence in the company, down-sizing is on its way and closure is on the horizon...
I was stupid enough to decide in 2003 to apply for a GC and to bear all this BS. Now working hard on plan B and waiting for the right moment.
Seriously considering plan B - Packing up.

You may think that your contribution does not matter as long as others contribute. You may think that your contribution cannot change anything. ... If you think so, then you are wrong.
Your contribution is critical to this organization! You contribution is important to yourself--the legal immigrant!
Let me tell you what will happen if you don't contribute now:
With the number of people who have contributed stabilizing at a low level, IV's lobbying will be very very limited.
Then people who have contributed would feel disappointed.
Sooner or later, those people would withdraw their contribution.
Eventually IV will be closed.
From then on, you, who don't contribute now, will have no organization to speak up for you.
From then on, you will complain your situation in your company, seeing your peers get promoted while you get stuck in the same position because of your GC application.
...
Maybe, at that time, you will say to yourself, "if I have contributed to IV in that special year, if all people like me have contributed, we would have get our GCs. Then, maybe, my life would have been totally different..."
Let me also tell you what you can lose if you contribute.
Your immigration status will NOT become worse, if it cannot get better.
The only thing you will lose is about $200 or less if you contribute $20/month. It will happen this year or never! If it does not happen this year, you can always withdraw your subscription.
I believe many people would pay $20,000 to buy a GC if possible. If IV brings 1% chance to help pass the bill, $200 is a very fair price! Besides, I believe the opportunity cost for people who has no GCs is probably more than $20,000 a year, considering a potential promotion or a job change. For those people, don't you think $200 is a very reasonable price to buy yourself a 1% chance?
Besides, the chance that IV brings to us is much much higher than 1%!
You are all high skilled workers. You can do this math very well!
So come one! Make contribution now or you may have no chance to make this great deal!
very well said, waitinggc.

So you will be on H1 till conclusion. Best Luck.
Yes, I dont really see that as a problem right away (though I am aware of the risks!). I have completed only 4 years of my H1B and with approved I140, I should be able to extend another 3 years, (if required).
BharatPremi, do you know if one can have both 485 and CP processes simultaneously?
I am just wondering if I could file 485 (if my PD becomes current and stays current only for a short period as it happened in July) and have my CP case also alive.
My CP case is already in Consulate (after processing Form 230) which means I am just awaiting an interview. 485 is to safeguard my GC against any unforeseen odds and risks. Is that possible?
Or, can I file another LC (under EB2) and once I140 is approved (using prior PD), can I interfile (in CP)?
I just wanted to have the safety net that 485 provides or move to EB2 so that interview can be expected in the next year or so -if my new I140 is approved by then!
Any recommendations and is this technically possible?

"It has also come to my attention that USCIS began returning visa numbers to the State Department as early as Thursday, July 5, 2007, due to their inability to review applications effectively."
http://lofgren.house.gov/PRArticle.aspx?NewsID=1810
Honorable Lofgren had brought about very valid points and it seems too good to be true. (pessimism)
But if this is true We are all in, in next few days. (optimism).
The Twist is if this is true chances are H. Lofgren will cut a deal, remember there are heavyweights on the other side too. Its too embarrasing for all of them. ( realism)
I wish my optimism comes true though, that way I can tell my children when they grow up as to who made the difference and stood up for RIGHT CAUSE and questioned WRONG DOING without fear and that would be Hon. Lofgren.
om namo shivay. (Amen)
BTW our life has been between these three "ism" phases for god knows how long. (anantkaal) - time immemorial

You are right. But many people came here at the middle of their carrier and they are struck here with their children education etc., They are bound to be here and there is no way. Further, in my country, there are still reservation policies in everything, which may prevent the kids in going in for the education line they like. I donot want to explain this more as I may be degrading my own mother country. In a nutshell, everyone who wish to be a citizen of this country will have lot of valid reasons for getting a citizenship in this country.
isn't the effect of reservation the same as the effect of affirmative action?
If your kid gets high scores in SAT but does not get into an ivy league college because your ethnicity is over-represented - but some other kid with much lower scores gets in (and its not a hypothetical scenario - happens every admission season and i sincerely hope does not happen to your loved ones).....where does that leave your logic??
i see your point that people do have their own reasons for desiring US citizenships - but sometimes its also important to take a step back and see what one is giving up!

I recently got my Indian passport renewed at CGI SFO. Everything went smoothly. Here's some info for other people's benefit. My old passport expires in Sep 2008.
I printed out the online application form and applied by mail. Enclosed the following
Application form
2 Passport photos (they returned one photo back with new passport)
Notarized copy of Drivers Lic
Notarized copy of EAD
Notarized copy of I 797
Copy of Masters Degree Cert for ECNR status.
Current passport + Photocopies of front and back page and current I-94/Visa.
Single money order for $60($40 Passport renewal fee + $20 fee for return by overnight courier).
Total Cost = $60 MO + $16 Fedex + $30 Notary = $106.
The Consulate received my application on June 16th and I received my new passport on July 1st. That's just 10 working days. I was impressed :cool:

I read it and seems to be complex to understand.
My I-140 was applied in Mar 2005, when my son was 20. PD became current in Jul 2007 and I-485 was filed. I-140 was approved in Oct 2007.
I have a question: Earlier, it was not possible for me to file I-485 for my son. Under new provision, is it possible?
Did you I140 really take more than two and a half years to be approved??
If it really did then that time span is subtracted from you sons age at the time you priority date became current. So if all this is true your son would not be considered aged out.

02/01/2007 21/30 p.m.: Senate Passed Immigration Reform Bill Today
The Senate passed today Fair Minimum Wage Act, H.R. 2 today. The House passed this bill, H.R. 2 and the Senate debated the bill for the past several days. In the process, hundreds of amendments had been introduced on the Senate floor. The Senate floor then agreed to a lot of these amendments. One of these amendments which the Senate had agreed to and passed as Division B of the H.R. 2 is the Immigration Reform bill.
The immigration reform bill was introduced by Senator John Kerry and agreed to by the floor unanimously. The immigration reform bill that the Senate passed today covers a lot of the provisions which were part of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 which the Senate passed last year and failed in the House.
We will analyze the bill and report it step by step for the next several days. Please stay tuned to this website.
