Guys who got NOID/Denied 485, quick question.
Looking back, do you think it was worth making the job move using AC21? Is it really worth the time, money, anxiety, sleepless nights that you go through during NOID-MTR?
For people getting layed off, they have no choice but to use AC21, but for rest of us, why not continue with the job you are currently in and let the GC take its turn rather than risking it?
PS: I am in US for past 5 yrs with May06 PD. I am just trying to get an opinion here, so don't flame on me. I was comtemplating on using AC21 but reading all the NOID stories, i am bit hesitent now.
Well - depends on how you perceive it. A few days of anxiety is better than working with same salary/same job for years? Most of my friends are scared to use AC21. They are just shit scared, they do not want ANYTHING to happen to their Green Card - they did not join IV because they are scared that something will happen to their GC petition.
Knowledge is power, ignorance is bliss. I used AC21 because I was with desi employer - though our relationships were good, as the client filed for chapter 11, my desi employer who has a poor accounting system figured out that there were a lot of invoices unpaid which he never bothered to follow up and lost a lot of money and rubbed everything on me. So it was a good time for me to get out of such mess as I already finished 180 days after filing 485 and as such I had been doing my own marketing, negotiating my own billing rate, and always billable so I utilized this opportunity to get into a more stable job which is decent paying.
I talked to various lawyers and was aware that AC21 has some risks involved but everything can be sorted out. I weighed options, though I could stay with the company, I moved on.
So it is your choice.

is it mean Canadian door's are closed for people who employed in IT field and do non-managerial job?
Is there any other alternative option to apply Canadian PR after exclusion of occupation category from federal and province Skilled worker category?
Canada has a point system. You earn points for (i) qualification in area of demand - this changes constantly, (ii) family in Canada, if any, including cousins etc (iii) age, (iv) knowledge of English/French, (v) a job offer in area of demand, (vi) money for initial support during job search, (vii) knowledge of culture, (viii) interview, etc etc. If you get passing marks (60%?) you are in.
Others categories are marriage, investor (with a guarantee of employing certain minimum number of Canadians other than your own family), refugee etc.
There is no country based quota. Once you become citizen (after 3 yrs), your Nationality is considered Canadian. Country of birth is never mentioned or asked for any document other than passport (even there it is optional). Govt benefit plans do not distinguish between a PR and a citizen.

See the bold text. Because the bill is yanked out, amendments are added to the bill and now it is going to be put back as a new bill.
http://www.heritage.org/Research/Immigration/2007legislation_2.cfm
The Senate's Second Secret Immigration Bill
by The Heritage Foundation
FYI
For weeks, Americans were told that there are only two options for dealing with the nation's illegal immigration problem: stay with the status quo or accept a "grand bargain"--a tenuous behind-closed-doors deal, first made public by The Heritage Foundation, which contained nearly 800 pages of flawed policies. In the face of overwhelming criticism from all sides, this legislation was withdrawn from the Senate.
Now, an altogether new bill (S. 1639) has been introduced by Senators Ted Kennedy and Arlen Specter. It seems to incorporate the previous legislation, with some amendments. After it is read into the Senate calendar on Wednesday, the Majority Leader will be able to proceed to consider this legislation anew at any time; debate is likely to follow later this week, with a final vote very soon thereafter.
This schedule will afford lawmakers even less time for consideration and deliberation than they had before. It will deny them the various procedures long associated with America's deliberative lawmaking process--hearings, testimony, committee debate and amendments, floor debate, and the possibility of further amendments. Instead, according to reports, this legislation will proceed based on an altogether new and expedited procedure designed for the sole purpose of forcing the bill's many ill-conceived policies over legitimate minority objections.
As it has before, for the sake of open deliberation and public education, The Heritage Foundation is making this legislation publicly available to encourage widespread debate and discussion. Heritage Foundation analysts will be reading this legislation and considering its implications--as will everyone outside the confines of the narrow group that conceived it--as quickly as possible.

Actually abolishing the whole H1B thing is theonly way. Actually IV should actively start lobbying against any H1B increase. Then only there is a chance of of corp america supporting any GC reform.
IV should work on highlighting the H1B abuse that is going on, in the media
so that the whole H1B will become so radioactive they will be forced to scale down or reform the H1B.
H1B visa is the main reason for EB problems.
Opposing H1B increase may work in theory. In practice, since majority of IV members are on H1B, any argument in this regard will fail.

That is absolutely right. I would also extend the argument from the perspective of the sponsoring employer.
The excessively longer wait would make the employer biased against hiring people from retrogressed countries with similar skills/experience.
Especially since this is an employment based category, I believe your line of argument should work!
It's a valid point from ur prospective, but let me give u the example if the shoe was on the other foot..
I'm sure this is a simplistic generalization, but urs is too
* In 2001, 20 people graduate in retrogressed country and equally qualified 20 graduate in non retrogressed.. both aspire to land a US opportunity
* In a few weeks, all the 20 in the retrogressed country find opportunities among dozens of giant offshoring firms that quickly send them on H1 or L1 projects, within months or may be a year they are settled in the US and at most in 2003 their greencard process is up and running
* The 20 equally qualified non-retrogressed however linger in their homeland for years and duke it out till the brightest 3 manage to find a rare opportunity that only comes every several years.. those 3 finally come to the US in 2005 and may be start their gc in 2006
* Turns out (or actually it was known all along to people before they chose to came) that the US only gives 5 greencards per year and because they know qualified people exist in all countries and they don't want few countries to swallow the whole quota alone, they give 2/5 to non retrogressed and 3/5 to retrogressed.. only then do some people remember to cry not fair, well it wasn't fair to start with!
I agree a universal 7% limit for any coutry regardless of its population and number of college graduates is stupid.. the percentages need to be adjusted. But to tell me that the 3 unretrogressed have to stand at the end of the line behind the equally qualified 20 retrogressed who came here faster (and chose to come here knowing their homeland is retrogressed) that is really fair.. yeah right!

When it is already proved that no American is available for the skill set required and being substituted with a Foreign worker, then from where the nationality came in to the picture?
Here is the reasoning (I have not thought deeply enough about the reasoning to have a personal opinion on it yet):
The U.S. has a policy of cultural integration called "the melting pot". The idea, is that instead of (as Canada does it) maintaining simultaneous separate cultural identities (referred to as a "mosaic") cultural identities are "blended" together to arrive at a new cultural identity that will still be uniquely "American".
Given this policy, the per country quota makes sense, since to not restrict immigration from certain cultures risks the potential of getting more of a mosaic than a melting pot (since if there is sufficient "critical mass" of one cultural identity, this group would be prone to establish a "district" of their own and maintain their source culture). An example of this is the "little country" syndrome (e.g. little China, little Vietnam, little India, little Italy, etc.).
Does the companies bother about the skill set required or the nationality?
Thanks
The quota is applied post qualification of the candidate, so the skill set is not a factor (i.e. if country 'A' does not achieve quota with qualified applicants, then these visas are distributed to countries that have hit the quota).
Applicants from countries that don't achieve quota are subject to the exact same tests on their qualifications as applicants from countries that do achieve quota.
I think what frustrates most people here is not the per country quota, so much as the low level of the overall quota (since, as others have pointed out, most countries do not use their quota, and that quota *is* redistributed to the countries that do achieve quota, thus allowing them to exceed quota).
So in effect, all the per country quota does, is give applicants from those countries first-crack at available visas *once other countries are at quota*, and has no effect at all until some country has hit their quota.
I think there is plenty of room for discussion about what percentage a country should be able to send, and what the overall number of visas should be, but I really don't think the per country quota is worth getting worked up about.

I dont think many labors were filed between september 2001 and Dec 2002. Due to bad market and frequent layoffs during that time. My guess is EB3 will get to 2003 soon, may be before end of this year.
Would love to see that happen... waiting with PD of aug 2002 :-(

I am not sure if it's that easy to figure out from wage level whether PERM Labor falls under EB2 or EB3 category as there are PERM with wage level IV and Job Title Welder (which I assume cannot fall under EB2 category) and besides that for Microsoft out of 1200 labor only 44 are under Level IV.
Good Luck.
If you scan the PERM data from fldatacenter. There are approx 3200 EB2-I (wage level IV)certified labors for PD up until 06/01/2006. Not sure about BEC certified labors. Based on the perm data ,DOS just needs approx 10000 visa number to clear the EB2-I PERM cases. I think DOS is right on.
Note: some of you have considered Level III in their calculation which is not correct. Because I am EB2 and my Labor says level IV for wage level.

Thanks you all for making the post and clarifying the difference between I140 substitution vs underlying labor being used. I guess in my case the approved labor was used and not I140. I have asked my previous employer to send us the revocation request for the I140 so that my MTR is much stronger. The 2 applicant to 1 labor/I140 is exactly what has happened in my case. One of you has done a very good job of explaining it.
My current lawyers are in the process of filing for MTR. I have been delayed a bit since we never got the damn letters. I have H1b until June as a backup. My wife works on EAD--should she inform her employer or she could continue since they don't know yet.
I will continue updating this thread.

Call the 1-800 number in the approval notice and select the options 1->7->4->3 and they will be able to help check the status of the application. You need the receipt no when you call them
Did just that. I believe it is approved. Will wait for it in the mail now.

Was listening to NPR today and some anti-immigration group apparently sent 700,000 web faxes/emails to get the current CIR bill down. Try matching that at IV... Also mentioned that their members called the lawmakers in thousands.
The group is not NumbUSA. Some other group.....

Just one anti-immigration group, NumbersUSA, has sent more than 100,000 faxes and made thousands of calls to Congress since Wednesday. The intensity of that anger propelled some of the bill's opponents.
