i130 is probably the form number associated with illegal immigrants getting a chance to file for permanent residency before the April 2001 deadline; if you remember, one of the things the Bush administration did was come up with a brilliant idea of doing this for a number of advertised and not-so-advertised reasons...
Not relevant.. What is relevant to us is that this caused enormous amounts of applications for labor certification which the DOL was ill prepared to deal with. Mostly because grand daddy Bush didn't think work needs to get done. The idea was everyone goes to their ranch in Austin, Texas or whereever the hell they've got a ranch when workload increases...
But having ranted that out... I must say... there's a misconception on this board that the illegals are better off.. actually they're not.
They're pretty much stuck like us as well... in fact... they're prolly worse off now since they too can't really switch jobs until this is done. All they get out of it is taxes, which they could have avoided by getting paid in cash.
So I wouldn't be in a hurry to get to the toilet with the passport
As a group of legals though we're all screwed because dumbass didn't think we mattered much... all his bunch of vacationers thought about was uncle saddy...
tsk tsk so much frustration u say ...
