Tancredo, 70 lawmakers strike out at guest-worker plan
By Anne C. Mulkern
U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. (AP)
Washington - Colorado's Rep. Tom Tancredo and 70 other U.S. representatives sent a letter today to a Senate committee, warning that legislation it's considering allowing illegal immigrants to work legally in the country will hit a roadblock if it comes back to the House.
The Senate's Judiciary Committee for the last two weeks has been debating an immigration reform bill that includes what's being called a “guest worker” program, something President Bush said he wants.
“We are concerned that some of these proposals are fundamentally incompatible with the desire of the American public for real immigration reform and their clear opposition to reform proposals that amount to little more than thinly disguised attempts to provide amnesty," the House members said in the letter.
“If the Senate were to pass such a proposal, we believe it would doom any chance of a real reform bill reaching the president's desk this year.
Tancredo, R-Littleton, and the other 70 lawmakers were part of a group that led the passage of a bill in the House that imposes new border security measures, including increasing penalties for being in the country illegally.
The House bill does not include a guest-worker provision. The group considers allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the country legally a form of amnesty.
“Rewarding persons who have broken the law with an advantage that they would not otherwise have had encourages more illegal behavior and is unjust to immigrants who came to the U.S. legally,'' the letter says.
Reps. Bob Beauprez, R-Arvada, and Joel Hefley, R-Colorado Springs, are among those who signed the letter.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is not expected to finish work on the bill this week, which was the deadline given by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. He is expected to introduce his own bill possibly today that includes border security measures and does not have a guest worker provision.

You can join our group and throw this idea, if 15 other in the group agree to it, it will fly...Atleast guys come forward to do something, what we should do we'll decide...Instead of asking for removing, perhaps asking for making it in ratio of country sizes might be more palatable. Note that Nepal has same numeric quota as China. I don't know how you can influence or initiate such changes, though.

FYI: USCIS does not charge for Visa Lottery... It's FREE.
Well again...if they allow to file 485, most of those folks will
file EAD and Parole too.. more money and more money :D
Its the same reason they wont discontinue Green Card lottery.
I think last time about 5mil people participated with $100 entry fee.
So its $500 Mil dollars..thats half a billion.....Nobody would kill the
goose who lays golden eggs... :D :D :D :D

You are soliciting business from IV site. You don't have a disclaimer or no shame in doing that. You filled your charge country as UK and pretend to be GC aspirant. You can advertise your thing by paying IV, not by these cheap method of interfering here. I know you suck a big amount from people approching your firm for evaluation and take more amount (than the authorized) from them using the credit card details on file by giving lame excuse. I know many friend burn their hands.
I did post about this. We have seen professor's expert opinion letters showing the equivalency to the MA being approved. However, the evidence does point to an equivalency to a BA.

Congress never thought that I-485 processing would take more than 1 year (I-485 pending for 180 days is called "long-delayed" in 8 USC 1154(j), see also 8 USC 1571). If the USCIS was able to process all I-485 in one year time frame, there would be no retrogression!

Anyone invoking AC21 with unapproved I-140?
If you try to use AC21 without an approved I-140 your employer can withdraw the I-140 petition ( since it is not approved yet ) . So best wait a few months until it is approved and then merrily go the AC21 way

This is called OBSSESSIVE COMPULSIVE DISORDER
Thanks doc for the prognosis. I have said this before and I will say it again that all this is USCIS fault. They are the ones who are taking 90 days to issue recipt notices. They are the ones who are not following FIFO in issuing recipt notices. They are the ones who said that they have processed all applications received before July 1 but have not cashed checks for my application which was mailed on June 11th.
On a lighter note what you are doing with those you tube videos is also OBSSESSIVE COMPULSIVE (DIS)ORDER except that it's for something good.

Congratulation...
I hate to see you leaving, you need to fight for others. Who knows somebody close to you might get stuck in this mess. IF everybody leave just because they got what they need than its not fair. If you think IV has helped you in any way then each of us put some effort to help IV and its members.
Again congrates and hope you become more active in coming days.
Thanks.
Today is the next day of my GC freedom, and I am still on this forum, I didnot mean to leave the Forum, I still support IV with all my heart.......:D

Thought I should share my EB-3 (horror) story:
First initiated my RIR labor in 01/2002
PD: Aug 02,2002
RD: Sept 18, 2003
Approval: June 19 2007
I765 & 131 renewed 4 times.
Though I graduated with a Masters' degree from here back in '98, I was wrongly advised by a lawyer (who I unfortunately knew) who said I did'nt meet min. salary requirements and put me in EB-3 instead of EB-2 (though all my friends who graduated with me were in EB-2 and I knew they could'nt be making a whole lot more than I was). So if your lawyer wants to put you in EB-3 even though you're eligible for EB-2 change lawyers right away; It will mean a world of difference when things go bad. Chances are, the lawyer wants minimum paperwork & hassles to deal with. To add to bad luck, I had an Indian manager who refused to pay for my green card and even the ads for RIR labor, even though he got his green card paid for. Anyways priority dates were current for all categories back then (2002-3) just like it is today when they reclaimed unused numbers so this attorney had said EB3 vs EB2 won't be a problem and convinced me to go with EB3. This 'current' situation went on for some time (a year or so perhaps(?) to 2004 or 05; I do not remember) and then the DOS went and retrogressed EB3 back to 1999! During the year or two Priority Dates were current the INS (as it was called then) took their sweet time in processing cases progressing real slow. So when they were about 3-4 months away from processing my PD and I thought I was real close to 485 approval, the DOS did their thing and retrogressed dates all the way back to 1999 and has become current only now. It hit me with a gale force effect when it retrogressed.
It's almost like things swing like a pendulum between the two departments. If you're real lucky and time it right things can go smooth. If not yes you're screwed like I was and things can go bad one after the other. This time around I was almost sure the USCIS will take a go slow policy and wait for dates to retrogress once again like the last time. I was very surprised by the HUGE movements of 485 processing dates. Things are looking far better this time with these dates. Focus on getting your EAD and Advance paroles ASAP. I-140 premium processing will be worth it. Good luck to you all.
Congrats on your approval. I see that you got your labor in less than a year, surprising you got stuck with 485, lots of the ones I know got their 485s within 8-10 months during 2004-2005 time frame. Of course being in west coast meant that we waited for our labor certs for about 3 years. Green Card, not unlike death, is a great leveler. Enjoy your GC.
BTW: Your lawyer is not necessarily wrong. USCIS will look into the company's other applicants, if most of them are applying for EB3 with your pay grade in your own company, then it becomes difficult to justify your EB2 position. USDOL may consider it as excessive tailoring of job requirements.

This thread seems to express my thoughts.
I used to wait till my dates got current. With my dates being current since November, I still wait with no sign of improvement.
I tried calling the 1-800 number. But, did not get any useful information.
Took an Infopass appointment couple of weeks back. But, it was of no use.
The officer at the local office read the same status that I see online.
She said that my case was transfered to Texas center. (I knew this since October 2007). Only additional information she gave me was that my namecheck got clreared. (Though this is important, I dont think this really matters to get my case processed).
I told her that I have been waiting since years and some of friends who filed later than me already got their GCs, she felt sorry for me but she said there is nothing she can do for me. Not even a Service Request since my dates are within the processing times.
Its getting difficult for me......Also, in this economy its getting tough everyday to hold on to the job. Who knows may be this year quota might be over too. It will definitely be a big relief if we get the GC.
I thought there is nothing I can do now till my dates goes outside the processing times. Please advice.
Good Luck to everyone.
We are in the same boat my friend....keep hope!!
Happy Newyear 2009!! we might get Green soon...

I just don't like the tone of after getting work with a valid permit, then suddenly, one turns against those who are applying for work permit for the fear that they may take his job.
The anti-immigrants also fear that the immigrants are taking their jobs or lowering their wages atleast.
I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings but that's what I think and just my opinion.
I agree with you. I just don't like the attitude of people who have got green card or EAD. Once they have it they want to stop all the immigration. Try too have a conversation with GC or EAD holder !!
BTW, people forget to take family based GC into account. If you think about it, around 500k GC are given every year. This means during my stay in US, around 3.5 million people have got GC, but I still never had problem in finding job with H1. Yes it is more difficult but definately possible. As someone mentioned , as long as one brings skills on table, the person will have job.
Most of the July filers have 140 approved and working in a full time job.So I think there will be little impact.

May be it's true that labor and 140 belongs to the company, but they just can't take money from employees and sell it to someone.
Sure, they can. There was nothing in the law forbidding them from doing that and they abused the system badly which has resulted in a permanent ban on substitution.
You cannot do anything about them using the Labor for someone else. Perhaps you can do something about them taking money from you to file 485 and failing to do that. If you can prove this with a clear paper trail, then you stand a good chance on this one.
