That doesn't contradict anything I said. I was referring to the 38 occupations where you do not need Canadian work experience. I agree that the list is much more restrictive than before. The other way around it is to have a job offer. All I said was that Canadian work/student experience is not mandatory.
I get it....they will keep tweaking it...if too many start applying with the HRDC approved job offer then they will crack down on that.
It happened to H1B to EB2/3 GC thing as well. In early days people even with MS could get Eb1 till there was court case after which
the requirements were tightened.
Now with PERM even EB2 is becoming harder.
The problem is that more people want green card than what the govt wants to give. So they try to come up with filtering criteria
in a varierty of ways...tightening the rules, country quota (in case of US). visa post processing quota in case of Canada etc.

Hi gsc999.. It was nice talking to you in DC..
The reason I suggested sending in our credentials is beacuse the key in reverse brain drain is also "brain" along with "drain".
If we send in our credentials wrapped along with a stopper it will show them what they are going to loose.
Even to hard core right wingers it will show them that even if they neglect the human factor they cannot neglect the intellectual factor..
Definitely! Totally sets us apart from illegals. (And a few people have asked me why I "bash" illegals. I really do not. They have their cause and we respect them like we should respect every other human being. We simply should not be lumped in with their cause, because we are opposites, and because that has been what has affected us so much)
We need to finally break the chains and differentiate ourselves from illegals. If the government won't give us our rightful place as respected legals, we need to go take that place, because it's ours! Otherwise we will continue to be bullied by Loo Dobbs and company, and we will continue to be victimized by the apathy and politicking of Congress!!!

2. Take it and go for infopass.
3. Insist that they follow the procedures outlined in the memo. Do not leave until they do what they have to do according to the memo. They have to provide you a receipt that they followed the procedures.
4. Get your EAD within a week or so after infopass.

Here is a post from Ron Gotcher's website which might be of interest to some of us trapped in EB3 I retrogression .
http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=7065
He expects visa bulletin cut off for EB3 I to jump to 2004 in coming months. No reasoning behing this though..
That looks very positive. Hope all EB3-I from 2001 to 2003 (even 2004) get their approvals this year. My best wishes are with them.

Hi,
I have 3 yrs degree + 1 yr PG diploma.
But they won't file my GC in EB2 category, as I don't meet the 4 yr BS requirement.
Here is a list of accredited institutions that offer online MS degrees at reasonable tuition:
Best Buy Masters Computer Science & Information Technology | Ratings & Rankings | GetEducated.com (http://www.geteducated.com/online-college-ratings-and-rankings/best-buy-lists/best-buy-masters-computer-science-and-information-technology)
You can also consider getting a US bachelor's degree through online courses and credits-by-testing from one of these:
Thomas Edison State College/ Academic Programs (http://tesc.edu/academics/academicprograms.php)
http://www.excelsior.edu/ecapps/degreeProgram/degreeTable.jsf?gw=1
List of Programs Available at Charter Oak State College (http://www.charteroak.edu/Prospective/Programs)
If you do an official evaluation of the 3-yrs degree that you already have, it can be equivalent to up to 90 credits from a US School (which is equal to 3 years of undergrad education here). All these credits may or may not be transferable to the school/degree that you choose to enrol in. But you would have to research and find a school that would let you use most of them. That way you can complete your degree much faster than the standard process.
Whatever you choose, make sure that the school is regionally-accredited by one of these organizations:
CHEA: Directory of Regional Accrediting Organizations (2009-2010) (http://www.chea.org/Directories/regional.asp)
Remember every long journey begins with just one baby step... Good Luck!

New DL renewal Procedure is a painful process which started August 1, 2006.
The process involves;
1. Visiting a DMV office and they will ask for your documents and give you a case number which you will present to MVI.
2. MVI will investigate your immigration status with USCIS and you will receive a letter after 5-7 days. If there is a problem, it will take upto 9 weeks. This means, you cannot drive until they have verified your legal status in the US.
This is a new procedure and I know a couple of friends who currently cannot drive because they cannot renew their license.
At first, DMV branches were unaware of this new procedure.
Has anyone been through this new process and successfully pass through MVI and renewed their license or is anyone waiting for the letter from MVI for more than 7 days.

All arguments are very sensible. No doubt about it. am working on an EAD and they did not incur any legal cost. However, I get frustrated thinking why they charge $180 per hour to the client.... even when the cost to company for me is about $110K per annum or around $60 per hour. I do not know whether I am worth $180 per hour or not....but probably more than $60/hr since they can charge $180 / hr
We really need to analyze this deeply if we want to come up with a strategy....
Thanks for the 3 red dots which I recieved....

I don't think USCIS takes into consideration whether the MS is full time / Part time / distance learning. On the degree certificates no University mention's if the program was full time or online. Also i don't think USCIS goes by the reputation of university. As far as Accreditation is concerned please check with education evaluators they might be of help but then again I don't think USCIS looks for accredited programs. I say so because there are lot of local schools which are not accredited but have good reputations locally.
As far as career growth is concerned after MS that's a separate topic altogether..

Guys,
I just renewed my DL (9/06) at a local DMV here in NJ, I brought with me my bank statement/insurance, SSN card and EAD card. A nice lady just asked for my SSN and EAD. The whole process took 30 minutes. My DL has one year expiration. I am just waiting for my GC so I can go back and get a 5 year DL. Cheers.

That may be the unofficial version. Officially you can apply even you haven't worked or studied in Canada if you qualify as a skilled worker with a year of experience. You get extra points for having a job offer from a Canadian employer but not having one does not disqualify you automatically. I'm not talking about getting the GC. I'm just talking about the application process. Some kind of processing is needed even to reject an application and I do not think USCIS is capable of handling the increased traffic that switching to a point based system would result in.
No its official. From Feb 2008 federal skilled worker class is restricted to people with 1 year Canada work or student experience or 38 occupations only.

I am unable to keep myself awake. I will discuss this with you tomorrow. Have a good night!
According to Ombudsman's report,
Pending cases = EB + Family + Refugee + Asylum + ... = Backlogged cases + Unripe cases = 1,275,795 (page 11) + 1,316,740 (Figure 1, page 14) = 2,592,535 (as of March 2007)
I am approximating 1M to be EB based, 1.5M to be family based and 92,535 to be asylum + refugee (which is a lot).

500 Eb1 numbers are unused
500 numbers spills to Eb2
There are no 100 Eb2 India cases and 50 Eb2 China cases and Eb2 ROW/phillipines/mexico is current
Now Eb2 India+Eb2 china uses up 150 numbers and
350 numbers spills to Eb3
Now there are 1000 Eb3 India cases from 2001 to 2003
Eb3 china,ROW etc there are 1000 cases fom 2003 onwards and none from 2001 to 2003
As spill over needs to go by PD Eb3 India takes of the 350 numbers and may be moves by 1-2 months and Eb3 ROW doesnt get any because no older cases.
DISCLAIMER: this is only illustrative and highly oversimplified, Actual scenario will have many many variables
OK thanks for this explanation. I think I need to get a few drinks now!!;) Thanks ags123

AC21 can be as safe as a any normal 485 case so do not worry. Its classic case of USCIS ignorance on AC21. I would say, hire a good lawyer and prepare for a MTR. I have seen Ron Gotcher as a very prominent proponent of AC21 rules. You can take his help. I used AC21 and got GC approved without any hiccups. My case was handled by Ron and I have been completely satisfied with his services.
PS: I am not affiliated to Ron in any way. This is my personal experience.
sorry to hear about ur case.. btw what is your priority date??

Hi eager_immi, thank you for your reply. See here is the situation, let's say for very personal reasons, we cannot get married before Sept 2007, then, what are my options?
Thank you,
gc101.
As I understand it correctly, you have a very personal reason for not getting married before Sept 07. I have to say that in that case, go ahead and at least file for your green card, that way you create one more option of applying through family based, even if it means 6-7 years of waiting period. Ideally you would like her to come to states at least for 2-3 business days to get court marriage and filing of docs, but if thats not the case then this is your best option.
