In 1996, Congress seriously considered proposals to reduce substantially legal immigration. S. 1394 would have reduced legal immigration by approximately 330,000 a year, or 41 percent, according to the U.S. Department of State. After much debate, those efforts were defeated in the Senate, while similar large-scale legal immigration reductions were stopped in the House.
If the cuts in legal immigration proposed in Congress in 1996 were to become law today, the size of the Social Security actuarial deficit would increase by 13 percent over a 50-year period. (page 8)

I have a pending AOS (I-485) application
filed by my previous employer (company A). The I-140 is approved and is well
past 180 days. I moved from company A to company B in late April
2008. They did an H1 transfer and filed for AOS portability under
AC21. I did not like the role there, so had planned a move to Company C, my current employer - again H1 transfer and AC21 (yet to
be filed). Just before I moved, I got another offer from company D
(which I believe best fits my long term career interests). I would've
avoided the hop to company C had I not given the notice to leave at
Company B. Now, I am looking to move to company D at the earliest (perhaps in a month). I have
been at company C for 4 weeks now.
Question:
Should company C file an AC21? Since there is already an AC21 on file (by
company B) and if I will move to company D, can I reduce one additional AC21
filing? This is just so that there aren't 3 Ac21s filed and to avoid
making me look frivolous. Please advice. If its safer to file it, I
can request an AC21 filing soon from company C.
I'm not sure about your question. I want to congratulate you on getting multiple offers in this economy.
Just curious to know your skill set and location?
All the best!!!

Financially, most economoists are predicting that east bay market is bound to fall further. (I would not discount the opinion of CNN Money easily).
That having been said, I agree that living in a house is definitely more about feeling than about finances.
How does someone know when is the right time to buy a home? Anytime is a good time to buy a home, as long as you can afford it. I thought the last few months were good time for buyers because of the inventory situation (more choices or otherwise you bid usually in CA) - I dont think anyone can predict the market situation in 5 years and no one makes money in 2 years in a good market condition as well. I bought it 2 months ago in East bay and I am planning to hold it for another five years atleast and both spouse and I work - it is certainly not an investment for us, rather a place that we live - it is a rare feeling one gets after living in exile (apartments)

Conference Call on Effective Posting - tomorrow, July 21st at 7:15pm
How to Post for Maximum Impact
Conference Call tomorrow night, 7:15pm Central
Labor Day marks the beginning of national discussions on the corporate visa programs that allow companies to legally bypass the US workforce. Most tech workers see this bypass and confront this bypass when they are looking for jobs. But most recent college grads will never see or confront this issue because they will never be considered for jobs their degrees qualify them to do.
This is the power of employment discrimination. This issue will be part of a national conversation on comprehensive immigration reform if we tell the truth about our own circumstances.
Businessweek will be posting their article on H-1b exploitation on Wednesday. Join me to discuss why the "culture of bypass" is the necessary precondition to create the "culture of exploitation."
Scheduled Conference Date: Tuesday, July 21, 2009

This culture of exploitation among IT labor contractors could not occur without the legal protections to bypass the US workforce. This is why the corporations are fighting hard to defend this protection and defeat the Durbin bill (S. 887).
Readers may not make the connection between this corporate malfeasance and the bypass of qualifed citizens and green card holders - but your posts can. Make sure your posts mention the Durbin bill (S.887).
Here's some talking points on corporate protections affored by visa programs:
* The H-1b corporate visa program is responsible for these crimes because it protects corporations from ever considering local talent and opening the door to this culture of exploitation. Passing the Durbin bill will end this culutre of exploitation.
* Protectionist measures in the current corporate visa programs are poisoning the IT industry - no corporation should be protected from the consequences of discriminatory hiring practices.
* American labor laws and EEO have had a powerful impact on American society. These visa programs protect corporations from employing a workforce that knows their rights and can exercise them. That's why corporations don't want the Durbin bill (S. 887) to pass.
* Far from protecting the US workforce, the Durbin bill (S.887) will give us a chance to compete for job openings in our own country, thus preventing these corporate crimes.
* It's the responsibilty of the federal government to ensure that we have the freedom to compete- and we will get this freedom to compete when S.887 passes.
* If these companies were required to seek local talent first, these shakedowns would virtually disappear.
* The discriminatory practice of recruiting abroad for US job openings now breeds a form of exploitation unimaginable to 21st century Americans. These cheats could never swindle Americans this way.
Our posts promoting the Durbin bill will be watched -- and measured -- by Congressional supporters of the Durbin bill and all of the players who will be at the table when this issue comes up in the fall.
Your posts supporting the bill and defending American labor and talent will let all the players know that American IT professionals are standing up for what they want and shaping the circumstances of our lives.

Wish I could say something to help those who missed feel better. I was fortunate. My PERM (atlanta center which is another slow goer but nowhere like BECs) got approved on Aug 14. I filed aug 17 but don't think I submitted all needed docs due to unavailabilty of some. I saw some people at Atlanta center wait for much longer than PERM should take and they gave up. My heart goes out to everyone. We do need to become involved with IV...be it those who are ahead in the game, be those stuck in Atlanta PERM, be those stuck in BEC and/or coming out of it now. Each and every person must join so as to fix this broken immigration system. People are stuck in differnet stages and it's not fair, so do get involved and help IV in helping you.

A freind of mine came across a gentleman, who is here on work visa and he is facing a unique problem. He is married to two persons and wants to bring his whole family here in the USA. He was looking for answer if he can get both his spouses and kids here on H4 visas. Currently both of them and his kids are in India. Interesting hmmm :D
Did I miss something:
the orginal posting says "married to two persons" and ."both his spouses "
we all assumed they are female;).other wise only Massachusetts may be the place to stay:D:D:D

Hi Guys,
I am EB2 I with a priority date of April 2006 (Direct labor applied and approved from employer A, I 140 applied and approved from Employer A, Filed 485 from Employer A itself)
Moved to Employer B using EAD in 2009 January. (Almost after 18 months after getting EAD)
10/15/2009 i called the TSC and asked the representative to know whether my case is pre approved or not. the representative told me that he does not have any of that data and opening a SR will let us know. i opened one SR on the same day.
I got a mail just now, with the following text in it.
"The status of your request is
Your case is on hold because your appear to be inadmissible under the current law
Rather than denying your application based on inadmissibility, we are placing your case on hold while the Department of Homeland security considers additional exercises of the security of Homeland security discretionary exemption authority.
Such an exercise of the exemption authority might allow us to approve the case."
What does this mean, any one has some idea about it.
This is very strange. However, I would like to know the reason that prompted you to inquire about your case status. What was the status that was showing on-line? Is it "application received and pending", the same usual statement?

Hello,
My application was sent on July20th to NSC.
Today I got a transfer notice saying application is transferred to Texas Service center. question
1. The Receipt number starts with WAC (CSC) but the notice tells it is under Texas service center. Where exactly is the application.
2. Is the Transfer notice same as application receipt or I will get a separate application receipt ? I do not see any received date column on the transfer notice.
3. What is the number starting with A on the transfer notice. Different numbers for me and my wife ?
Thanks in advance

Bottom line, AC 21 comes with risk, and you have to be ready to ride the wave, if things are to get delayed or you are to be out of work for some time. If there was anything I could have done differently, I would have REALLY forced new employer to file H1b on my behalf. I feel i laid down too easily on this request after my previous company said they would not revoke I-140. I did ask the legal team of the new company, and they said no. I should have discussed with my bosses, since they really wanted me, and would have probably overriden the legal team.
But life goes on...
Good information for all those who had or thinking of using AC21.
Very well written to-the-point information.
