Thanks saknia. Yes I am part of IV's core group. Without this kind of a congressional mandate, there is now way that DOL would have completed it's BEC processing by Sep 2007.
Hi Everyone,
As many of you might have known the Senate passed the Comprehensive Immigration Bill. We in Immigration Voice have been able to bring about a number of provisions that favor highly skilled immigrants into this bill.
One of the provisions in the manager's amendment states that...
bluesky133,
Have you looked at immigrationvoice.org? We're an organization already fighting for the high skilled immigrants by hiring high profile lobbyist. We have already been able to bring about amendments that further our cause. We have also got a number of media stories to highlight our...
Thanks for understanding our reasons. The bulk of our forum threads and web pages are open to everyone. There are totally 538 threads in Immigration Voice, out of which only 13 threads are present in the members only forum. So the unregistered members still have access to 98% of our threads and...
msh626,
Very valid question. I do agree with you that forcing people to register might turn off a few people but we have found the benifits of this policy to far outweigh it's deficiencies.
For one registration in our website is absolutely free to anyone and it takes only a couple of...
Immigration Voice is very happy to announce that most of our goals have been incorporated as an amendment. More details here - http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=521
We need all of you to start calling your senators in support of the amendments needed in Comprehensive Immigration Bill. We especially urge residents of Tennessee, New Mexico, New York, Kansas, Texas to call their senators.

It is accessible only to members though.
Also another constraint, you should have worked for 3 years prior to filling for your green card in a related field. So if you have a masters in Chemical Engg and you are working in Software Development, that doesn't cut it.
No memo can override any thing here when both these bills very clearly says that no country can get more than 10%. I think the whole intent of scrapping this soft country cap section is to let the excess numbers from EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 to flow down to EB-5(Unskilled) which I am sure will...
Again, it is not only EB-2 that is getting affected. It is also EB-3 for which the quota actually reduces for people from India and China. So there is absolutely no reason why so many of us are jubilant about Frist's or Specter's bill.
This is one of the highest priority items for IV along...
If you thought Retrogression is going to go away with Frist's or Specter's Bill, think again. Many of you are jubiant about Frist's and Specter's Bill. For most of you, these bills will leave you worse off, if you are from the the heavily retrogressed countries of India and China. This is all...
Amendments to Comprehensive Immigration are currently being discussed in the Senate Judiciary Committee. Regular updates here.

labordrags,
All of us are frustrated. Let us try to channelize this frustration in a constructive way instead of fighting with each other.
I am a director of IV and my labor is stuck PBEC. My priority date is June 2004. If you want further proof, I can request my screen shot from philly...
