I have to post this..

[sc3]

Even if I be banned.

To all the EB2s who are talking about wanting transparency (because USCIS did not approve *your* GC in this round), and talking about letter campaign, media events and what not:

Well Well Well; Why dont you guys use the same advice you have been giving to EB3s all these days??

1) Be happy for people who are getting the GCs, when they are gone, you are next in line. So stop being a cry baby.

2) By starting these letter campaign etc, you are breaking the unity of IV, so stop discussing these things; support the recapture. (repeat that like a 1000 times, for any kind of proposal that someone makes).


I am very interested to know what moral right you have to start these discussions when you shoot down every EB3 discussion that ever starts

You are right. Everyone should stick together. Let us prove the parable of 'Indian Crabs' wrong forever.
For the record, I am EB2-I. However, I like to think of myself as just one common GC aspirant like most every member here. Let us chuck all talk that disunites us.

There is a huge difference between EB2/EB3 discussion. dude, USCIS made these categories based on educational background and experience. Whoever has the educational background and years of experience is eligble for EB2 and the others are not. Why is it so difficult for you people to understand ? We as EB2 don't complain about EB1. Why ? Coz we know that they are more deserving than EB2 or EB3 and ought to get 1st preference. Similarly EB2s ought to have higher preference than EB3(like they already do) since most of them have a better educational background and years of experience that the position demands.
Grow up and stop whining.

Lets work togethar for EB system. We should put visa recapture on top list of agendas.

United we stand , divided we fail.

You will be singing a different tune if yours is 2001 EB3 and a 2004 EB3 application gets approved. Please note that I am giving an example of two cases in the same category.

We never are not against people with newer PDs who got their GCs. We are saying that ours should be approved too.

[gcgreen]

I beg to disagree. The difference between EB2 and EB3 is NOT in the individual's qualifications, but in the JOB REQUIREMENTS. To emphasize again, it has to do with the JOB REQUIREMENTS.

So going with your analogy, a Ph.D. who applies in EB2 is not any less deserving than a Ph.D. who applies in EB1. It depends on the requirements of the job. The Ph.D. who applied in EB1 category may have done so because he applied under outstanding researcher category because the job is that of researcher. The Ph.D. who applied in EB2 may have applied in that category because the job is not a research oriented job.

Please make sure you get your facts straight. Now, this does not mean that EB3s were right to gripe. I have no opinions on that :-)

Cheers.

Did you mean exactly what you wrote....then I am sorry to say that higher education did not teach you the important lesson of all, Humility. Go look up the meaning in the dictionary. B'coz all that cramming for GRE / GMAT you must have missed this word. I really feel sorry for you.......

We never asked “why did they approve an application with a newer PD?”. We are saying that ours should be approved too.

You miss the point. People who preach something should also follow it. I am not asking you to stop your, whatever is it that your are doing. I am just asking you about the moral grounds (if you even know what that means) you are choosing to start this campaign after asking EB3s to just support IV initiatives.

Shouldn't you be doing the same. That is just support IV initiatives?

For the record: I will not be singing any different tunes because I know quite a few 2004 applications will be approved before mine, because they have their RDs before mine.

Yes there is a difference in EB2 and EB3 and USCIS defined the difference. If you have 5 years of experience, you are qualified for EB2 otherwise EB3. Now don't USCIS understand that EB3 applicant waiting since 2001 has gained 7 years of experience by now and he is eligible for EB2 category.

If EB2 and EB3 don't unite for recapture campaign or any other efforts then current EB2 people will suffer the most. Why, because all EB3 people are applying in EB2 category and recapturing their PD. I myself EB3 with Nov 2002 PD and my EB2 labor is pending for 6months now.

What they have done to EB3 category is not fair. They are giving GC to people who just came to US couple years back who have produced most of the fake documents to be eligible for EB2 category.

[gcgreen]

The 7 years experience is NOT required for performing the job that was advertised and on the basis of which the Labor Certification was obtained. Therefore, the USCIS cannot and will not consider the 7 years work experience. In fact, the rules are stricter. The rules (now I don't know who wrote these rules) say the beneficiary's experience in that same job cannot be used as the qualifying criteria.

But having said that, EB3 with 7 years experience and an APPROVED I140 can PORT their dates by applying for a NEW job that requires at least 5 years experience.

I do not have to tell you my moral grounds but since you have asked me, let me tell you this, just pull out one post of mine where in I have said anything against EB3.

I was supportive of EB3 efforts, read one of my previous posts below..

“I am an EB2 I applicant and my PD became current this month. If I do not care, I wouldn’t even be checking out this thread. I understand your pain and frustration, I was stuck too for a long time in the old labor process before perm came.

EB2 I people do not think EB3 I people are jealous. I do not think Rolling Flood is from India, let alone being an EB2 I applicant. He just rolled in thinking he can open a flood gate of arguments and counter-arguments, let’s just prove him wrong.”

I am against EB3 people waiting and I am against EB2 people waiting, I just want some order in processing. For your kind info, my first application was in EB3.

[little_willy]

This is really sad. We call ourselves highly skilled and see how low we stoop. If there is injustice fight against the system, not among ourselves, this isn't going to get us anywhere. Look at Aman, he got his GC and still works hard to make every immigrant's life better. With all this infighting, I won't be surprised nor blame him if he started thinking whether he should really care for the community anymore.

I wish, everyone here thinks a moment before posting whatever comes to their mind.

[ski_dude12]

Just curious - what is your PD/category?

Please let us not get into slug fest here, if you haven't personally ever asked EB3s to stop the discussions, then I unreservedly apologize to you.

My comments are more towards the EB2s (sorry to generalize, I know quite a few Eb2s are nice and supportive) who have been saying that we need to get behind IV, but are now shooting off on their own because they feel USCIS should have worked according to *their* understanding of how USCIS should process applications. The premise of the initial post is for them to remember that they preached something in the past. It is now time for them to show their moral courage and implement their words for others which was to "Unite behind IV efforts".


Let me put a disclaimer to that: IV is one organization that believes in general immigration reforms -- It is not necessary that all us should only follow IV and leech off its efforts. If you have other avenues, you should pursue it. But be consistent in your message. Dont ask someone to follow IV only while you plan your own different schemes.

Let me attempt to answer your concerns. First of all the condition of EB2 and EB3 is different. EB3 is not current so there is no question of expecting any thing from USCIS and hence the advise is to wait and keep working on those bills to recapture visa etc.
However for EB2, the dates are current however the folks with newer PD are getting cards while older one are waiting which is unfair, unethical and illegal and hence so much agitation.

So you should not compare these two different conditions. Once EB3 will be current and they dont follow the rule we all should do the same thing for EB3 as well.

So dont misunderstand the things and try to creation things like Eb2 vs EB3, there is no such thing, we all are together but fighting at different levels.

Hope this helps to cool you down!!
