The question is when.
Before or after the fall elections.
The current thinking is somehting will pass in the senate. Most likely with some sort of temporary worker status for the illegals.
If it offers a path to citizenship for the illegals then it will die in congress, if not then it stands a chance in conference.
If there is deadlock then this issue will be pushed to until after the elections.
That's my take on things.
Did you guys see Sen Frist on CNN wolf Blitzer show? Likewise that was the view of Sen Grassley.
Sad for us we are stuck in this politics.

That is may not correct. Stuart Anderson was never a lobbist. But he did play a key role in AC21 law. Back then Stuart was Legislative Director for Sen. Abraham (R-MI). Stuart worked with key staffers across the aisle to recapture and pass other favorable provisions in AC21. In that sense, Stuart always had a front row seat to witness things unfold in front of him. This is what makes his book so unique.
According to the website, Stuart is Adjunct Scholar at CATO institute and he is executive director of another policy institute called NFAP.

Appreciate your prompt response Raysaikat. If I get the J1 waiver from Australia, can I file directly under the EB2-NIW without changing to H1B.
After completing my MS (Molecular Biotech) and PhD (Veterinary Science) in Australia, I am currently working on a J1 visa for the last 3 years in US university. My employer cannot sponsor my H1B/ Green card but I can get recommendation letters and I have 6 publications including 3 first authors. Thanks, Palani

1) Since I140 never required the PD to be current how can one explain the backlog on I140 applications? They used to premium process those it in one month.
2) If 180 days pass since the I485 receipt date but I140 is not yet approved can one use AC21 safely?
(I understand the risk of having the I140 denied and being out of status. But aside of that... )
My understanding that the H1B cannot be ported once you have I140 pending without having to redo your I140 and I485.
The lawyers that created those laws must have been on something ...
Thanks
Caution: You are taking Risk!
Based on Yates memo ( you can google for this), a person with pending I-140
and I-485 pending for more than 180 days can invoke AC21 provided I-140 is approvable at the time of using AC21. Approvable meaning, if they take up your 140 during AC21, it should be in a position to be approved without RFE's.
There was a link on Ron's site where he said
1> if you don't have to worry about ability 2 pay issue, meaning, your company is big
AND
2> you don't have to justify your qualifications for your EB category. Say, a three year degree and some diploma/certification for EB3 and four year degree and questionable experience for EB2 or a four year degree with diploma/cert that qualifies as masters...Especially Eb2 you have to be careful...Since most jobs doesnt require Eb2 but people apply thru that because they have masters or Bachelors plus five....Don't get me wrong on this...I've seen people in EB2 category doing QA testing. I agree, there are many EB2 that do advanced work....and not just software application development/management.
If the above two are good, the chances of RFE on I-140 is slim.
Even if there is one, your old company should co-operate...I believe that is where the risk is....

This thought occured to me this morning and wanted to bounce off. Feel free to trash it if it is not practical.
I have seen somewhat lukewarm response to Fund raising and I feel there is potential to multiply the effect.
If there is a way for IV to match up clients and IV members for part time efforts and the revenue going to IV, I think it will have bigger impact in terms of fund generation.
How it can work?
Assuming core team and extended leadership team at IV has networked into the Industry, it can get pieces of work carved out. These deliverables are those that can be collaborated on, worked on remotely.
These need not be necassarily in IT. It could be in advertising, acocuonting, graphic designing etc.
IV will seek volunteers interested in participating in this initiative and build skills database and try matching up with the services required.
All the revenue from such services will go to IV.
For IVians who volunteer, besides satisfaction of contributing to the cause, industry networking is a nice offshoot.
This may be my opinion, but volunteering is easy if it is something you do as your second nature.
I have seen few non-profit organizations provide services for a fee. I am not sure what restrictions are placed on IV from a taxation point of view. But over time, the fund raising wing of IV could be delivering on some niche solutions. I am sure some sympathetic corporations would be supporting by providing work.

i think you needed two light sources for this, one coming in from the left to lessen or remove the shadows. Some more DOF? Yes and No depends on what you're after. Flwoers of this colour are so hard to photo IMHO. Reds and flowers always give me grief. I like this rendition of the colour.. Were you happy?
Yes, I'm happy with the shot in general. I don't like using flash, but didn't have a choice on this one. I was battling heavy clouds and a building wind. I think I'll go back and shoot it again if the blooms are still in decent shape and try a bit more DOF. I also wish I'd noticed that little leaf on the bottom left. I hate when you think you've studied the entire field of view and then miss one little thing.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
