Thanks for the logical thinking Hans. We agree with your views on Illegal Immigration and how that’s making life hard for legal immigrants.
Most immigrants that I know that came to the country on H1B’s or other visas are on tech jobs. These are
usually jobs related to the IT in industries such as Software development, Manufacturing, Health Care, Etc. Some of them were originally working for (or still work for) companies such as Infosys or TCS in India [...]

Very little movement for EB2 and EB3 categories. Due to availability of new visa numbers for fiscal year 2009, we were hopeful that there would be a larger movement in the processing dates, but that doesn’t appear to be happening.

Our poll on McCain versus Obama on Immigration showed Obama clearly winning 58% to 14% with 28% undecided. The mood is feverish here in the US today. Feels as if 18 months of craziness, first the Hillary versus Obama battle and now the McCain versus Obama race, is culminating in one day today…
And the poll [...]
The USCIS National Stakeholder Meeting on September 30 transcript is available now. Here’s the question about I-140’s that we were most interested in.
Question: In TSC and NSC, there is dramatic delay for last July/August concurrently filed I-140. At the same time, TSC quickly approved many non-concurrently filed I-140 with application mailing dates later than last [...]
This thread of Immigration Voice regarding the Three year TN Visa For Canadian and Mexican Professionals says it all. It’s good to see a happy positive tone from posters, a rare thing in the immigration world.
This bill will get signed into law tomorrow.
Still no progress or even signs of improvement for relief for EB3 I-140 [...]
More reasons why it is unlikely that I-140 or for that matter, I-485 processing will continue to remian sluggish (it can’t get any worse, it’s rockbottom already for most of us)
