Jeez... 'God' Icarus, now Aprl 'The One'.
Relax people ! This is just a LC not the end of the world !
Anyway... Aprlc2002, i usually agree with yu. This time around i have to disagree. The last post is just not logical for me... This goes against everything we talked about for weeks now !
I am not kidding but you have to have too much confidence on DOL believing what we predicted.
ETA showed many proofs that you just can't predict when it comes to LC adjudcation. This will remain like till we all unit, rise and raise awareness amond all lawyers, politicians. THese are the letters that ILW published
Immigration Daily believes that the undocumented should be given
a path to legalization because the undocumented provide enormous
economic benefit to the nation (6/03/05 ID comment). This may be
the case, but to those who are going through the legal channels
and patiently waiting for up to 6-8 years, it feels like a slap
in the face. Maybe they should also grant de-facto approvals or
green cards to those those who have waiting upwards of 5 years.
This would (1) reduce backlogs so that immigration could then get
a decent approval process in place that they can deal with in a
timely manner (2) reduce costs in opening up additional centers
to reduce backlogs.

I agree with Mr. Patel's statement (6/06/05 ID) that the "guest
worker" program will represent a slap in the face for thousands
of mostly skilled, legal workers who have been waiting for years
in the backlogged lines of labor certification and adjustment of
status. I encourage all legal-to-be immigrants, and citizens in
general, to write to the Senators and Congressman for their
jurisdiction and let them know that legal-to-be immigrants do not
deserve to be punished by default. The labor certification
requirement should be waived for those eligible for adjustment of
status currently working legally in the US. The labor
certification process has long lost its value in terms of "market
testing." It is an unnatural recruiting process that allows to
hire an employee years after it actually took place. Complete
nonsense. The dependence of the worker on one employer does not
protect American workers because it artificially lowers wages by
hindering competitive offers. The nation as a whole will be
better off if these workers, who are already on the marketplace,
are allowed to become free agents of the economy. It will be
cheaper for taxpayers and more efficient for all.

If Hamen patel and Sebastian can write letter to
editor@ilw.com , then why can't we.
Guys, these won't be easy, particularly for people whose PD is in 2003, 2004. If new bill to legalize illegals is approved, we all should forget geting GC atleast for 5 years from now.
Just imagine, how many of your predictions went wrong till now ?
