Maybe not. I believe that the perception is that Americans would prefer to have no bill at all than a bad bill. If people learn that the House is the one trying to kill what they considered a bad bill - the amnesty one - so they that should not perceive all Republicans as a rotten after all. The Senate is a different story because a number of Republicans there have adopted a liberal stance on this, therefore incumbents may well be kicked out. If the trend continues, lawmakers pro amnesty may be voted out whether they are democrat or republicans.
Good to know views from the other side. CNN polls and other polls show that majority of Americans want to address immigration issue in a fair manner. Let me know which polls you are referring to, I would surely like to look at them.
Yes, you rightly point out that election pressure will have a bearing on this important issue. Republicans are smart, they do not want to re-inact what happened in France recently. The exploited underclass of immigrants in France rioted on the streets. We don't want that here. There are far too many immigrants as a percentage of total population in USA vs France, it would be unthinkable.
Almost a million people in California demonstrated recently. Those were the biggest peaceful demonstrations since the civil rights issue. Maintaining a status-quo, by not passing a CIR bill will make it obvious to Americans that Republicans can't pass an effective legistlation even when they control both houses. Republicans don't want to hurt their long term strategy by doing this. No governance is bad governance unlike no news is good news.
Given the current rates of immigration, demographic change because of looming baby-boomer retirement, off-shoring and globalization, Republicans understand that US looses its leadership role to China, India, Russia and Brazil unless they have a comprehensive strategy to keep America competitive by addressing this vital issue.
Borders can be secured and make it difficult for people to move into US but they won't stop them from moving out of US, if they are treated unfairly, for better opportunities elsewhere.

While having Vayalar Ravi talk to US Govt. on social security taxes is a good idea having him talk about retrogression is a very bad idea.
Permanent residency and retrogression are internal affairs of US of A. USA and USA alone will determine who gets their PR and citizenship. Any foreign official touching that subject will be seen as infringing on this nation's sovereignity.
During the 60s USA wanted lot of doctors and imported them from India. Later on they started producing their own doctors and we know how difficult it is for an Indian doctor to emigrate now. I suspect computer programmers are the next. The current focus is on importing nurses and when they have enough nurses they will have the same problem..... Isn't life very fair ?

Why not? They have to send the receipt notice on time. They have to send AP / EAD within certain days. Immigrants plan certain events based on these laws. If anyone decides to prepare and file a lawsuit for not getting EAD, he/she could do it now as per the law. Some one said, there is a law that they should be giving EAD in 90 days.
Again EAD is valid for only one year. You have to file in advance and you will get one year from the date of filing or approval I am not sure. If you dont get EAD on time, then youare not supposed to work. PERIOD. If this happens a lot, then lawsuit is for sure from someone like me who have family with two kids and play by rules. I have strong backing of my company HR.
If I interpret correctly you are saying because USCIS will not like to work on so many EADs and APs year after year AND SO they themselves will seek increase in annual GC numbers to clear up the mess. I wish your predictions would turn out to be true.:)
However, if enough EB GC numbers are not available, USCIS can not be repsonsibe for this. They have corrected the one mistake they did with the visa bulletin fiasco. I don't see any other basis for additional lawsuits.

Ramba,
What if I am working as a contractor with a govt agency. The agency offers me a job but salary would be 10K less than my current salary, but with better benefits. However still new salary is more than what is required to pay for similar job at that place i.e. if a company is filling for a new H1B. (the prevailing wage at new location for that job classification at that position/level)
Now in this case, if the salary is 10K less than what is specified in my I-140, will I hear any music from CIS? This is not hypothetical, but real dilemma I am facing.
If both job (old and new) in same area, and new salary is "considerably" less than old salary, then it may be an issue. But it may be overcome, provided if you know the prevailing wage determination (not salary) of old job. Lets say if the PW for a level-3 engineer for your old job 50K at a particular county, and I-140 salary in your old job is 70K, and if you port to new job with new salary as 60K in same county, then it should not be an issue. Again, if USCIS does not buy this, you need to dispute. It needs extensive lawyering with DOL wage survey as a proof.

I was thinking this is a good way for short term period until we know for sure what is going to happen to us as far as GC situation is concerned. It may not make the most sense in the long term but is a good way of hedging your bets until you know for sure which way immigration issues are headed.
This may be a good soln for people who do not want to loose their Canadian PR or those who dont want to move back to India for their own reasons (ppl like me who have been in this country for 10 plus yrs on F1 and H1 cobined but with no GC in sight).

I asked this same Q on the last conf call with Susan Henner and she said that they will not do it. As her H1 application will have an indication that her H4 is pending, they will mostly issue an RFE to prove her H4 status thru Sep 30th or wait for the H4 to be approved before aproving H1. You should be approved soon. last month processing times said they were doing dec 21st right?

It is perfectly legal. Before throwing out ignorant allegations like "skirting the law" and all that, do your homework first. I am sure I did mine thoroughly well!

The bad news is that. You will get your green card in 5 years and after other five years you will get your citizenship. So in 10 years will be in position to get married.
Now , you will be wondering what is the good news.
Well!, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switiching to GEICO.:D

Visa Stamp in Passport: 13-Jan-2007 (I94 in passport expires on 1/13/07)
Current I-797 : From 02/24/2006 to 04-Jun-2007
3-Year extension based on I-140 from: 05-Jun-2007 to 04-Jun-2010
In this scenario, if I goto India, say in Feb, get my visa stamping done, what will be the validity of my visa in the passport?
1. 05-Jun-2007 to 04-Jun-2010 as stated in my 3-yr extension or
2. the date I went for interview till 04-Jun-2010??
If its the former, then how can I get into US during March '07 as there will be a gap in my visa dates in the passport?
I will send the same questions to my attorney but would like to know before hand, just in case, if my attorney tries to act smart :(
Thanks in advance for your responses...
