Frist Immigration Bill Would Target Bosses
By SUZANNE GAMBOA, The Associated Press, Friday, March 17, 2006; 5:28 PM
From WaPo online:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/03/17/AR2006031701455.html
... Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., faulted Frist's bill for not addressing what to do with illegal immigrants already in the U.S. "Countless businesses rely heavily on their labor and it's long past time to provide legal avenues to bring this underground economy out of the shadow," he said.
...More than double the number of employment-based green cards, from 140,000 to 290,000, and make more employment based visas available to unskilled workers. It also would free up other visas by exempting immediate relatives of U.S. citizens from being counted in the annual pool of 480,000 visas, and increase country-by-country ceilings on family sponsored and employment-based immigrants.

Great way to show your sympathy! Calling ppl names...
People like bigtime008 are loosers.
They will think of themselves only. Characteristics of such peoiple are: Selfish
Instead of celebrating the greater good for all, they are just worried about what they are getting out of it.
These people join a group for security; but will always think only about themselves and will take every opportunity to demoralize the whole team.
We know BEC is an issue and there is sympathy for them, but does it mean we want to stop 700K people with families not getting a chance to better their lives

Now I'm gonna feel guilty for criticizing bigtime. Can admins un-ban him? Is there any option like that? Well.. yes, bigtime would have to wait until the celebration is over. But banning him is over the top.

PD, I don't agree with the phrasing of the new Labor Cert clause. That is not how I read Frist's bill. Did you make up the new labor cert clause yourself?
Will advanced degree holder need labor certification?
I think they will. Here is how the new labor certification clause will read:
So labor certification is required for advanced degree holder in STEM with 3 years of US experience prior to applying will be treated as special a case.
Also, this clause says that the degree has to be from a US university. I think Attorney Mathew Oh is wrong in saying that graduate degree holders in STEM from foreign universities can apply too.

Hi,
How can one know if ones employer has withdrawn/cancelled ones H1B visa? Apart from asking the employer, if one uses the EAC # ans checks the status on www.uscis.gov, will it be reflected over there?
Q: Can an employer cancel H-1B visa without employee�s knowledge/consent?
A: Yes and remember it is illegal to travel on a cancelled visa.
Q: If an employer can cancel my visa without my knowledge, how do I know that my visa is still valid?
A: Unfortunately, the only reliable source for that information is INS and your employer. There is really no other way to find out. You could try INS although they may not help you as you are an employee.

By exempt, you mean exempt from the cap, right? Does this mean that you still need an employer to sponsor you even if you have an advanced degree? Or can you self-petition as in the CIR?
Exempt from Cap only.No self-petition benefit(yet)

Getting rid of semilar\same job requirement is going to be as easy or as difficult as getting prefiling AOS.
Getting rid of same\semilar job is not semilar to getting to green card. If you are a software person then you can put a restriction that you have to work in a software related job, in the same way if you a civil engineer then you should work in the civil engineering field. But the way USCIS does same\semilar job is job code match, responsibilities match etc etc etc, the problem with this is it is a very grey area, it is almost like doing labor all over again. It has not become that bad yet but it will sooner or later, how many H1b rfe\denials did you know in the last 2 years, I bet there are more H1 denials in the last 2 months than the whole of last 4 years.
I understand you are not being selfish but why would anybody want to use EAD instead of H1 other than for getting rid of visa stamping purposes. The overwhelming majority of people are going to use EAD to switch jobs because of layoff . When people are transfering H1b because of layoffs they are getting rfe\denial notices, when you move from H1b to EAD because of layoff USCIS might hit you with the same\semilar job rfe (when you file ac21, when previous employer revokes H1 or I140), that is my point.
What I am saying is bring in protection to AOS by
-removing the same or semilar job requirement in AC21
Its not that easy to make this adjustment. If you take out this clause a person can work any where and this is more like a green card. For example a software person can even work in a gas station. I am afraid, this cannot be done as easy as you think.--- Again, I am not saying that it should not be done; all I am saying is let us keep this as a separate item

July 2010: are these clause new this time?
#1 :
" Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620. "
that means per year max of 25620 people per country can get GC ?
#2 :
*NOTE: For July, 2A numbers EXEMPT from per-country limit are available to applicants from all countries with priority dates earlier than 01JUN07. 2A numbers SUBJECT to per-country limit are available to applicants chargeable to all countries EXCEPT the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC and MEXICO with priority dates beginning 01JUN07 and earlier than 01JUL08. (All 2A numbers provided for the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND MEXICO are exempt from the per-country limit; there are no 2A numbers for the DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND MEXICO subject to per-country limit.)
--- #1 and #2 sounds opposit. am i understanding it right?

I am in a silimar situation stuck at PBEC. I haven't posted anything because people are quick to come and bash (as you noted - even if we are just venting frustration - like the rest of everyone a few days back). Yeah, life is unfair but some things further add to it.
P.S. My husband attended the rally in SJ nevertheless (I was out of town.)
We are ready to help BEC guys in whatever way possible.Don't think you are left alone.

Guys while thinking more about this... why not approach EEOC and it will be cheaper. The commission was created to protect employee's rights.
Someone with EB2 from 2004 or EB3 from 2001 should be able to convince EEOC that he was forced to have same or similar jobs for a long time because of long wait for green card while at the same time people from other countries did not have any such hinderances in their career advancement. Therefore, the country quota in employment based green card category leads to discrimation at work.
Here are the contact details of EEOC:

Not necessarily getGC. I am EB3 but i am a Masters from the US. Sometimes for fresh hires lawyers play it safe by applying in EB3. I had emailed someone at competeamerica.com and they had mentioned that an "advanced degree" is either a masters or a PhD. You mentioned that you had an engineering degree from India. Is that a B.E. or an M.Tech/M.E.? If you have a master's degree from India, you need to ask ur lawyer if that qualifies as an advanced degree.
But even otherwise, it still benefits you, coz say even 20-25% of Current EB3 have master's degrees, they will be out of the queue and you will be benefitted. I know it doesnt sound like a benefit, coz it is not a direct one, but if you look at it from a different angle, you will see it.
I agree with you eb3_nepa. It is not a fact that everyone in EB2 category has an Advanced degree and also not a fact that no one in EB3 category has an advanced degree. So, this bill will benefit a bunch of EB3 and EB2 folks directly and indirectly.
BTW, I am also in the same boat as you are. I have a Master's in Engineering from the U.S. But I am in the EB3 category.
Sen. Bill Frist's bill is definitely a win-win situation for a lot of parties. It doesn't include the Guest Worker program as well as it includes all the major provisions for EB legal folks.
Now lets just hope that it passes the Senate and House (more critical) without any unnecessary bureaucratic delays.
