you seem to be correct ....
i just looked at the amendments in detail and this provision was in SA 180.
I am a bit unsure though of what happened to SA 180. Did it get amended by some other amendment. It does not appear to have been tabled. I apologize to everyone but I had stated right in the beginning that I may be totally wrong.
TITLE VI--FAMILY UNITY AND BACKLOG REDUCTION
Sec..1601..Elimination of existing backlogs.
Sec..1602..Country limits.
Sec..1603..Allocation of immigrant visas.
Sec..1604..Relief for children and widows.
Sec..1605..Amending the affidavit of support requirements.
Sec..1606..Discretionary authority.
Sec..1607..Family unity.

Dear Elaine Chao,
As a responsible member of Governance of the Department of Labor, could you please explain to the hard working employees who pay Social Security and Taxes and exist legally in the country, why the Department is not processing their applications for Labor Certifications and Petitions for Legal immigrant status expeditiously?
You are responsible to ensure that these applications are dealt with expeditiously and decisions communicated urgently. Current delays and backlogs indicate irresponsibility and lack of administrative acument on the part of the Department. A search online on the internet will be an enriching and educative experience for you and your Department on the efficiencies of your Department and employees.
You are requested to kindly implement processes and policies that ensure maximum efficiency and effectiveness in dealing with applications. I, like hundreds of others are unable to understand the delay in adjudicating an application with bonafide requests. Audits requests are perfectly understandable. So is the requirement for responses within 30 days. However, what is in comprehensible is the inordinate delay in review of the requested documents and communicating the decision.
I am hoping this Department will take notice and move towards the path of efficiencies soon. It is unfathomable that a Department of your importance is unable to handle requests of a few hundred applications each month. We have heard of US losing the COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE. This is just another example of the same. Lack of concern, skills, efficiency and mental wherewithal to conduct normal order of business efficiently.
I am looking forward to you taking the gauntlet and prove it wrong and process all backlogs expeditiously.
Help us take this country of immigrants to its old glory. Help us turn this economy back into the highs. Help us bring America to the edge of Technological Advances, Innovative and breakthrough products, never before seen R&D efforts.
Kind Regards,
PERM applicant with Audit response sent within 30 days and waiting for DOL to review the same since over 9 months and others!!!!

Every time someone comes up with something new they get shot down here by "certain" other members. They try to find reasons to say it was a bad idea rather than saying something constructive. Give this guy a chance.
Fair enough...I'll wait to see what "constructive" ideas you have to offer regarding this topic. I have seen this beaten to death with discussions and polls and countless posts on analysis, but absolutely ZERO talk of advocacy and/or steps for getting anything in action. If you were to give people something worthwhile to act on or even something that shows your commitment to the cause, I would have no issue.
Anyway, good luck! :)

Appriciate your help.
Thank you.
Depends what you want to do in future :
I have canadian PR as well, qualified for citizenship 2 yrs back, never opted for one
I would trash the PR, i mean let it expire and you be on your way. Cdn PR doesnt gives much benefits unless you want to settle in Canada/ work there.
i personally think US GC has more benefits then any other

Here
I don�t know what is so hard about this deadlock. Don�t they know that if:
1. Illegals are given temporary visas for them to return after a number of years, no-body would come forward. The illegals would see this as shooting themselves in the foot. They would prefer to remain in the dark and live here permanently. Purpose defeated.
>>>> If you enforce common laws which require a certain documentation, most people would not get a job here. Many would go home. There are lots of people here who does have a job back home. Between having a very bad condition here and an low paying job back home, many people with a choice would pick the latter, because at least back home you have freedom.
2. A tough enforcement only bill is passed, with the hope that there would be attrition after a while: How long would it take for all 12 million illegals to finally leave? 1 million per year? 500K per year? 24 years? Yeah right! Ok assuming they leave at a rate of 500K per year (which I know wouldn�t happen) what would be the rate of inflow of more illegals?? What would be the balance of illegals after say 10 years? Think about it.
>>> It is known that the illegal alien population is reduced naturally at 400K/year. If you add random deportations to this, yes, it is safe to assume that you can reduce the illegal population at 800K/year. That's not bad.
3. Give them a path to citizenship. Well they are here anyways but this idea might jeopardize the bill.
So my proposal is: Since �a path to citizenship� is the major road block to this bill, make a law that gives the Illegals an opportunity for GC but include in the law that �Anybody that ever comes into the country illegally CAN NOT become a citizen�. i.e they can get a green card but they can never be eligible for citizenship. I am sure this is a reasonable middle ground�. a path to PR but not citizenship. I am sure those illegals don�t care about citizenship anyways. They just want to be free and be mobile.
>> Well, that is problem. That will send the message to the world that as usual, the US is rewarding those who come here illegally. People will quadruple the efforts to get in illegally. Physical barriers become very inefficient when policies encourage people to come here.
Just my thots.

Hi,
I am on H1B visa. My parents due to medical condition cannot take care of themselves. Can I get them on H4 visa as dependent? I would like to keep them for 2-3 years in US and take care of them. Please let me know my options.
Thanks in advance.

Has anybody tried the new online system? How good is it? Does it give you tracking number, etc? Mor importantly, has it made the process any faster? Thx.
I mistyped my DOB (month and date in reverse order) in application, I expected it will let me correct. But it confirmed and generated the file #. I called them how to correct, they have no idea since it is new to them. Finally one officer over phone told to write a covering letter explaining the problem along with application.
So BE CAREFUL while entering the important data. Once you click on the Submit, and OK for popup buttons it is done. No separate confirmation page. The same entry page gives a popup to confirm changes, if you Ok it thats it. File is generated. Mailed mine on 4/17/08 and praying to God. I'll call them next week.

PD cutoff date moved by 9 months. this is great news for PERM applications with PDs in late 2005. this also tells us that the state dept will move cutoff dates significantly in the last few months of the year so visas will not go to waste.

VB for May is not published yet. these cutoff dates are from the Mumbai consulate web site.

As some of you know, I have been working with news media, government leaders, and immigration lawyers over the past year because of the stimulus debacle. As a result, I have developed some strong contacts in government. I will be meeting some congressional immigration staffers in the next few days and I have developed a list of issues to discuss. If you want to post your own issues, feel free to do so in this thread and I will add them to the list. These are the same people who helped get the last stimulus bill changed in our favor, so they do have influence.
PLEASE be brief - bullet points would be good.
Also links to articles to support your concerns are welcome. I will put together a package to hand out at the meeting.
I thought of posting a poll on this thread, but decided it would be better to leave the discussion open ended.
WOW!!.. whats a response.. Keep going..
At the same time, keep trying yourselves also by whatever means possible. Totoro is trying so hard for us, and even if we have five guys like this with such contacts, yet the efforts are not sufficient. We must also help ourselves by our individual efforts like writing to change.gov etc.. Lets not put all the 6 pages of ideas in just one basket. Since there is difference between eggs and ideas, duplicate the ideas and put them in other ways also, apart from just here.
Totoro,
Thanks for your efforts.
We all missed one point. Can you please update your profile.
Are Canadians also backlogged in this mess.
And you said "As some of you know...." . Were you try in these lines before too.
