I was wondering if there is any documentation that we can show the employers to dissuade them from revoking I-140 when leaving the petitioning company...
I have started a thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23116) so that the documentation does not get buried in other other threads... Please reply if you have any links/info.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Many posts on this thread suggest that there is no H1B type visa for nurses and so they have to come on only greencard; and that is why Health lobby is trying hard to GRAB 90K unused visas (note: I consider this as a grab because from skill/CIR bills; we are trying to recapture unused visas and make them available to ALL EB immigrants rather than allocating them to one special group). But according to this news item on immigration-law there seems a non-immigrant visa H1C available for nurses. Is this true? am I misreading this?
==========news item follows==================
02/13/2007: DOL Announcement of Processing of H-1C Labor Attestations
The Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Reauthorization Act of 2005 took effect December 20, 2006. The Act reauthorized the H-1C nonimmigrant nurses program, a program originally created by the Nursing Relief for Disadvantaged Areas Act of 1999. Under this program, eligible hospitals file attestations with the Department of Labor, Office of Foreign Labor Certification which, if approved, will support nonimmigrant worker petitions filed with the Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. The Department of Health and Human Services has informed the Office of Foreign Labor Certification that the same hospitals eligible for the original program continue to be eligible. These were listed in the Department of Labor's Interim Final Rule implementing its portion of the H-1C program published on August 22, 2000 (65 Fed. Reg. 51138). The Employment and Training Administration, under the authority of the new public law, is reinstating the H-1C labor attestation program and is accepting applications by qualified hospitals. Eligible hospitals should be advised that the now-expired OFLC form (ETA 9081), Attestations by Facilities Temporarily Employing H-1C Nonimmigrant Aliens as Registered Nurses, has not been authorized by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for current use. However, the OFLC will accept applications using the expired form until a new form is approved by the OMB. The attestations are made enforceable by the 2005 Act. ETA is in the process of revising the form under the OMB clearance process, and taking other appropriate regulatory action. Once approved by OMB, employers will be required to use only the new form.

Immediate attention of Congress/Senate to increase GC visa numbers for Retrogressed/ALL countries needs to be set first priority in Lame Duck or new congress sessions...and we/IV have to work towords that..
CIR is a good vehicle to piggyback on, and I realize it is better to bank on a bill that is already introduced.
However it seems like asking for increase in visa numbers, or just the ability to file I-485....What does this mean - automatically it would require increase in visa numbers, and reduction in name check times, for example.
Dependents can wait to work if it is only a year. We dont need to keep renewing visas. We are not stuck to one employer.

Excellent response. I have been a silent admirer of IV for some time. IV has represented the aspirations of all the EB applicants. people should understand that the US allotment of visas to foreign Nationals is only based on what is fair for the country (US). It does not matter to them to what country the applicant belongs but what matters is the qualifications and their benefit to the advancement of the US. I am appauled to see some of the members racheting up this irrational discussion about the spillovers when DOS clearly stated recently what the intent of the law was. the sooner they get over this issue, the better for them and for every one on the forum as the existing rules will NOT change regarding the spillover. we have to concentrate our efforts on how we can improve conditions for every body affected by this retroression. efforts aimed at one category and that too one country will almost certainy fail. I am also shocked to see a few EB3 I expressing anger over dates moving for EB2. personally if I see a person from my country getting his visa approved, then I would feel very happy for him even if I am waiting for some time. I know it will be difficult, but atleast spare some joy for your country men and women who are getting some well deserved relief after such a long wait. one of my old friends told me once "if you have a friend from India, don't rely on him to help you, because you will not get much help moreover some people will only try to pull you down, but if you take people from other countries, it is exactly the opposite as they try to help each other in every possible way". I agree that it is very distressing for every one that the dates are retrogressed, but now that EB2 has moved, all of a sudden some people woke up from a deep sleep and started making these arguments that have no legal basis. None of these people expressed their anger when EB3 ROW was being preferred over more qualified EB2 I and C and making EB2 unavailable. I know a lot of people from EB2 protested at this wrong interpretation of the law, but I don't remember anyone ever criticizing IV for not taking up their cause even though we knew all along that spillover from EB1 to EB2 retrogressed countries was the right interpretation of the law. now some people are asking IV to take up an issue that is straight forward illegal as was clearly explained by DOS in a recent bulletin. instead of wasting time and efforts on such futile suggestions, people should concentrate on making some constructive effort along with IV helping every one involved in retrogression.
"I am appauled to see some of the members racheting up this irrational discussion about the spillovers when DOS clearly stated recently what the intent of the law was. the sooner they get over this issue, the better for them and for every one on the forum as the existing rules will NOT change regarding the spillover".
Are you suggesting we "Get over the spill over issue" because that's what current law says ??
Then by that logic, should we get over the "recapture issue" too?? because that's what current law says...now I am appalled.
As I understand, IV's objective is to change laws in favor of the immigrant community. Agreed Recapture is priority #1 since it alleviates majority of our concerns, but is it the only one ?? Especially when recapture happens to be the most difficult one to achieve . Answer is NO.
IV has scored so many smaller wins in the recent past to provide temporary relief to the community at large.
You say "I am also shocked to see a few EB3 I expressing anger over dates moving for EB2".
Some EB3s might have expressed jealousy .Shame on them. But most are expressing anger because EB3 is "U" and the spillover formula will keep them retrogressed for years to come and not because EB2 moved ahead . Godd for Eb2s.
Your India specific jealousy example can be applied of any country. India does not hold monopoly over jealous acts. People are jealous not countries.
You say, "None of these people expressed their anger when EB3 ROW was being preferred over more qualified EB2 I and C and making EB2 unavailable".
IMO, this is frivolous...this kind of questions can be countered by equally frivolous question like ..... How many Eb2s are now expressing their anger over this years interpretation of spillover laws by DOS??

Just reporting what I saw on CNN. During the Sen. McCain interview with Judy Judy Woodruff & Richard Stengel, Richard asked something like - what about the green cards for the highly skilled immigrants educated by American Universities. To this Sen. McCain replied implying - they should be given green cards sooner, I am not sure if they could be given automatic green cards but the process should be faster.....
He said it not exactly in these words but implying something to that effect. They were suppose to ask Sen. Obama the exact same questions. Did anyone see Sen. Obama's answer to the question about green card for high skilled immigrants from Richard Stengel? Just curious....
I found this on shusterman's regarding obama's views on immigration. Looks like he is all for family based immigration but no mention about employment based.

Hi Pappu
Like me most of us would have got the reply from the Senetor or the congress man for the email that we sent. But all the replies are generic in nature and focus is on illegal immigration issue. The problems of "Legal immigrants" to my knowledge did not get their attention?. This is my observation.

Dear IV members,
We are seeing now the fruits of our efforts.
Update: Bipartisan Bill - HR 5882 introduced to Recapture EB visa numbers (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18773)
Update: HR 5921 Introduced to eliminate per country limits (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18856)
Despite a difficult year for immigration, there is movement of Bills for us.
The admin fixes campaign has also been successful. It is now a matter of time when administration chooses to make an announcement. We have been following up with them on regular intervals. The phase 2 of our campaign has also been going for past several weeks. Several state chapter members have traveled to DC and lobbied. Core has also traveled to DC to push for our provisions.
The latest good news is the bill on Recapture. IV has been on the front lines to announce all these developments and our lobbyists have been lobbying hard for us. All this effort costs money and thus we are starting a funding drive after a gap of 4 months so that we can continue this momentum. The more we can raise, the better we can lobby. We have a target to reach at least 50K in this funding drive so that IV can continue to be a voice of immigrants and take up their issues on the hill.
Please contribute generously. We encourage people signing up for recurring contributions but if you want to contribute one time, you can do so too. If you want to contribute an amount not listed on the contributions page (http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=44), you can contribute by paypal using the email donations at immigrationvoice dot org
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Itemid=44
Once you have contributed, please post on the thread and we can know how much closer we are from our target. IV chapter leaders and Team IV members will run this thread and count the contributions.

quick question..I guess, yous was AP renewal?
What is the fee for each applicant, 305 + 80??
I have a travel coming up and I think I have to shell out $1000 bucks now (for 3 of us) :mad:
I recently got my AP renewed and paid $305 for my appication. AP is not required for kids born in US.
Fee per applicant is $305 where did you find $80?
A few post earlier I mentioned details of my application process. Hope you find this info useful

These news are common when anyone is in politics. When some one get sudden familiarity other group try to spoil the name. First they tried that her 5th child is not her child but her daughter's child. She immediately announced that her daughter is 5 months pregenant. After that they started that she has immoral relationship. It may be or may not be true. But until it becomes true she may be considered as good wife and Mother.She is inexperienced that is true but if we consider that Obama also inexperienced. So it is just selecton of better evil. But Politicians here is much better transparency,less corrupt,better skilled than majority of countries in the World.
Just to add, Not sure if this is true but there is news that Sarah Palin cheated on her husband, and had a relationship with the business partner of her husband. She is not a good mother, not a good wife, cunning & opportunist politician, with very little experience and a heartbeat away from her finger on the nuclear button when she is ready to go to war with Russia. Watch some 'Sarah Palin' youtube videos and see for yourself.
Now please don't call this "deep sexism", did anyone see Dick Morris around?
There is something about politicians who cannot pronounce the word "nuclear" properly. They all seem to somehow become Presidents. Maybe we should start pronouncing the word "nuclear" differently, it may help us to us to become president. :D

you are half right, the country quota laws were put much earlier than the off shoring companies, but remember that the retrogression only started in the last 10 years when those companies came in the picture and skewed the lines .. that's ur cause and effect!
I am in software and would be satisfied with resticting this rule to the software field, but feasibility wise, rules won't get micro-tailored this way.
I always tell myself i shouldn't go on with the discussion, but here i go again..
any 12 step process to quit?
So what? Just because they came and skewed the lines doesn't mean you can choose where you're born or when. the rule is unfair wihtout any reason. there is no graceful solution short of removing the quotas. anyway I doubt fairness is the reason you're so fond of this quota.
Here's a one step way to quit.
1. Accept that the reason you're defending this useless rule is that it benefits you.
