Hope you are correct...but I doubt that they have 50% rejection/withdraw rate.
No. You won't
My understanding is the yet to come law will give illegal immigrants a chance to apply for GC (that is, either family based or employment based), if they go employment based, then they will go the same way we suffered so far
. They won't obtain it automatically.

Not true..there is one more provision in the bill that lets illegals self-apply for GC if they worked for 4 years or more. This means..they don't have to be at the mercy of any employers. We don't have that freedom.
Even without this..can you believe what havoc these people will cause to the immigration system? 245i only added about 300,000 cases and we are suffering for last 5-6 years..talk about over 10 million cases being added to these system. We have to bear this cost if decide to give up on BEC and reapply, so our new legal folks applying in the future.

Yeah..that could be given the way they have working. Hopefully valid ones will get processed as usual. I haven't received my 45 day letter yet..so still a chance mine is in the same category.

DBEC approving 8/2004!
Have you seen the DBEC forum? They are approving LCs left and right.
A guy with PD 8/2004 got approved recently!
I am wondering...did they really split up the LCs evenly between philly and dallas?

Well...8/2004 sounds good but at the cost of not processing several unlucky 2001/2002/2003 cases...I say DBEC is even worse than PBEC.

this from MSNBC, on the Senate compromise proposal for illegals:
"Under the Republican Senate proposal, illegal immigrants who have been in the US for more than five years – about two-thirds of the 11m – could switch to legal status without leaving the country if they met eight requirements, such as speaking English, having worked for at least three of the last five years and having paid all federal and state taxes.
Illegal immigrants in the US for between two and five years could secure a temporary work visa but must first leave the country. They would be able to apply for legal status later and would have priority over other immigrants applying for green cards.
Illegal immigrants in the country for fewer than two years would be forced to return home and apply for a temporary worker visa. The bill proposes allowing roughly 400,000 new gueast workers to come to the US each year."
----------------
If I'm reading correctly and a bill passes exactly as descripted, this is what's going to happen:
- the UCIS will create new visa categories for the 11 million people;
- illegals with 5+ years here will file for adjustment based on these new categories, having to prove they have lived here for 5 years; they will get their EAD and eventually GC after a number of years (can you spell BACKLOG ?); but at least they'll get EAD immediately
- other illegals will also file based on their situation; they'll clog up the system to the end of time
and WE ??? WE ARE NOT MENTIONED in this bill, we'll still be going through the EB bull****
that's gonna be the most bizarre thing ever ... but I bet with ANYONE here that illegals with 5 years will get adjusted easily, without having to go through labor certification, while we'll still be here.
Even more interesting will be that, we could apparently quit our jobs and become illegals, but then when we file for adjustment they'll say, "hey, you were here legally, you had a job, you can't file" !!!
I don't think even KAFKA could imagine such a scenario ...

I am little confused. Can illegal apply for SSN? If not, then how can they show they have worked for at least three and also how can/why should they pay all federal and state taxes???cantstandit said:
We need to keep close watch and see how the final bill is drafted and how soon illegal gets Green card. If it is immediately for people staying for more than 5 years, we should definately make lot of noise and sue them for unfair practise.
I don't have anything against illegals getting GC. But can we atleast expect fairness and atleast same if not better treatment for legal immigrants???

That is exactly correct..There is no proof to show how long have they been here...which is why in fact they are illegals. Most of them will come up with made up paystubs through their relative employers showing they have been here for over 5 years. Are these senators so stupid!!!!
And we will be in this PBEC hell and then 485 retrogression for years to come!!!
Labor cert approved
Long wait has come to an end. I would people with PD of 01/02/03 to hang in there and not risk converting their case to PERM.
