H1B != Labor certification
sbdol, when we get an H1 approved, we fill out a Labor Condition Application - that we are getting the prevailing wage, that is all. A Labor Certification attests that no able and willing American worker can be found for the job in question. Hence the two are fundamentally different.
IV cares about BEC victims - IV's webmaster and 2 core members are stuck in labor cert - but we will get laughed out if we ask for all BEC victims' applications to be approved automatically.
IV is asking for a realistic solution to the BEC problem, by increasing funding for the BECs. This will include a fee on new labor cert applications, and perhaps a premium processing fee for existing applications. The labor cert system carries no fees currently, and hence is set up for failure.
If we ask for automatic approval, Tancredo et al will immediately lump us with the illegals, saying that we want rules to be broken or bent. That will never fly.
If you have realistic ideas for the BEC victims, please post at IV. Please contribute to IV. As you know, a non-shareholder at any company has no rights whatsoever.
Don't expect IV to monitor every post on the Philly BEC forum and post replies.
What has frustrated me over the last couple months on this PBEC forum is that people complain like crazy and ask for unrealistic solutions like automatically clearing labor certs. All people do on this forum is *itch and moan. People like USCISMockery can only complain and criticize. They want IV to work on their issue but won't contribute money or efforts to IV. IV is a voluntary organization, and will go whereever the volunteers that are participating, steer it. If you want IV to work on your issues, get involved.
