As valid an argument it may be, buying a house as a bargaining tactic will create a lot of bad publicity and would be counter-productive. I think if we want to do gandhigiri, lets send flowers to Senator Grassley. If you want to make an impact, do the unusual.
Imagine how media will report something like that. Even when Grassley is dead against EB people, those very same people are sending flowers to him, not asking for anything, not demanding anything, just respectfully reminding him that not all immigrants are bad, some are really instrumental to making this country great.
We should write a simple, short, positive, and respectful message without sarcasm and without asking for anything. Instead of saying how we can be helpful *if* we have a green card, lets just focus on how we are already a positive contribution to American economy and national interest despite the clouds of uncertainty. Some things are better left unsaid to get the message across. Instead of us saying it, let the media report it - imagine how much more their contribution could be if they had green card.
Here are some suggestions for short messages -
I am a physician with NIW working in town/area which is medically under served. I am not taking away any American jobs.
I am foreign but not cheap. I earn xxx. My income is x% above average wage in my profession; x% above the higher end of prevailing wage standards set by DOL. In addition, my employer is paying 10-20K in immigration costs, some of which goes to train more Americans in STEM.
I am doing research in some field of humanitarian or national interest. e.g. bio medicine, green technologies, etc.

6months is to comply with AC21. I donot recall any one saying wait xyz time to switch after you get a GC.
Its indeed a bit of a grey area, though lawyers say stick for 6 more months to be conservative. See:

New York Real Estate License FAQs from New York real estate school online. (http://new-york.realestateschoolonline.com/FAQ.aspx)
so from this link and answer to question number 4, I take you can't even get a license to be a real estate agent in the state of NY, let alone someone sponsor your greencard. Sorry to be so brutal, but with a Master's degree I bet u can get a much better job than a real estate agent. Just my 2 cents.
4.Q: Can I get a New York real estate license if I am not a citizen of the USA or NY resident?
A: You must be either a US citizen or lawfully admitted alien, but you do NOT need to be a resident of New York.
Lawfully admitted alien include H1, L1 and all others. But I agree, it is probably not possible to get a GC or H1 being a real estate agent.

gc_chahiye, if you want gc_chahiye then call and talk to your lawmaker. Last year only a handful of them knew about the problems related to skilled immigration. Today many more recognize our issues, but a lot more is needed.
We cannot assume that all the lawmakers know what 'EB' or 'Retrogression' means, if you want a GC then take the first step of empowering yourself by calling your lawmaker and educating them about this mess. Try it, you will thank yourself.
We all have powerful human interest stories, discussing them on forums will provide stress relief for a short time. Discussing it with people that matter will make a bigger difference.
can someone tell me (PM if you dont want it on a pubic board) what went wrong with SKIL Bill last year? Where did it fail (senate/house?) did it just get dropped, or went up for vote and did not make it?
Googling around, and am not able to find anything...

It would be really great to get clarification on this issue. Hope it's taken up by AILA in the immediate future like you indicated.
I'm not sure it will be taken up by AILA -- I was so surprised by the resistance I encountered when I asked a well known attorney with a blog (v. popular with IV members) to submit this question to the AILA committee which reviews topics for liason meetings, and it took several rounds of email and some very severe rhetoric from me to even get him to send it to the committee! I feel it is terrible that our self-professed advocates hesitate even to ASK a question, let alone propose specific reforms...
The deadline for submitting questions is Feb 15 -- so if you are interested, get in touch with your attorneys and send in the question. Maybe numbers will move them.

12. 2004 cases are supposed to be at bottom. But because of Name Check, Infopass, etc. they are not in their expected locations. So later cases are being picked.

Rights and Responsibilities of H-1B Holders
http://hyderabad.usconsulate.gov/h1b.html
Don�t Get Stuck on the Bench � Your Rights as an H-1B Worker
The skilled temporary worker visa, also known as the H-1B visa, allows foreign nationals with advanced skills to hold jobs in the United States. The top H-1B issuing posts in the world are Chennai, New Delhi and Mumbai, and Hyderabad will probably join these three soon. While the vast majority of H-1B employers and employees are responsible users of the program, there are some that engage in fraudulent and unfair practices. Please review your rights and responsibilities as an H-1B worker, and make sure you protect yourself and your family from financial or legal difficulties.
You have the following rights as an H-1B worker:
You must be paid at least the prevailing wage, as listed on your Labor Condition Application (LCA) form. This, in turn, must be the same rate your employer pays other workers with similar experience and qualifications, without regard to nationality.
You must not be �benched,� or have a reduced or suspended wage for non-productive time caused by the employer, or by the lack of a license or permit.
You must receive the same fringe benefits on the same basis as offered to American employees.
Your employer may not require you to pay, either directly or indirectly, any part of the petition filing fee, administrative fees, attorney fees or any other costs related to the petition.
You must not be required to pay a financial penalty for leaving the employer before a date set in the employment contract.
You should receive the same working conditions (such as hours, shifts, vacations, etc.) on the same basis and criteria as provided to similarly employed U.S. workers.
Your employer must keep records of the hours you work and the wages you are paid. You should keep your own records as well.
Your employer may not intimidate, threaten, discharge or otherwise discriminate against any employee, former employee or job applicant for disclosing possible H-1B violations or for cooperating in a compliance investigation.
You have the following responsibilities as an H-1B worker:
You must provide truthful and correct qualification documents, such as degrees and experience letters, to immigration authorities throughout the visa process.
You should be alert for any possible violations of your rights, as well as violations against colleagues or contacts in the U.S., and avoid those employers.
If you leave your employer, regardless of who terminated the relationship, you should leave the United States unless you have filed for H-1B status with a new employer.
You may not enter the United States more than 10 days prior to the petition validity date.
You must follow U.S. laws and regulations while in the United States.
Your spouse and other H-4 dependents may not work while in the United States.
If you wish to report H-1B abuse, please contact the U.S. Department of Labor at 1-866-4US-WAGE or http://www.wagehour.dol.gov/. You can also contact Consulate General Hyderabad at HydNIV@state.gov.

I have an Olympus C2100 Ultrazoom. The real focal length of the lens is given as 7mm to 70mm (38mm to 380mm on 35mm equiv). When I operate the zoom lever, a bar appears in the viewfinder with T at the top and W at the bottom. Can I assume that this scale will be linear in terms of the focal length ie if the number of steps between W and T is 30, would each step increase the focal length by 63/30 mm (=(70-7)/30)? This would,however, mean that my standard 50mm equivalent focal length would be only one step up from the W end of the scale, which does not ring true. In which case, is there an easy way to 'calibrate ' this scale?
Thank you.

Obviously it will fail...but at least we will do away with these "comprehensive" things and
focus on piecemeal.
they will not "do away" with comprehensive..... if it fails this year they will bring it up again next year and next..... there is no room for piecemeal...... if there were.... they would do it after cir failed in 2006, but they didn't..... they could do after cir failed in 2007, but again they didn't...... or they could do piecemeal in 2008, 9 or 10..... the fact they didn't .... it just tells us that we ought to learn something here..... there is nothing called piecemeal & there will never be anything called piecemeal in this leg of immigration reform, other than our own fantasy world.... so get over it...... there is only 1 way to do it.... cir
lets start the undocumented bashing party now......

Good luck and enjoy the feleing now

According to one website http://www.immigration-law.com the USCIS is working on trying to streamline processing I-140 petitions to four months by April 2009. I quote the following from the website
--------------------------------------------------------
10/08/2008: I-140 Processing in Four Months by April 2009?
* This is a five-month old information which has just been released. This source of information indicates that the USCIS was hiring and training new employees and by April 2009, I-140 petitions might be processed in four months. It is a good news in a way.
--------------------------------------------------------
Going by the previous track record of the USCIS though, I do have reasons to be skeptical about that. We will find out in April eventually, unless our invididual petitions get approved before that. The only issue is that in the interim we still have the threat to jobs in this bad economy. The other concern of mine is that older petitions might get dumped into another Backlog Elimination Center and they only work efficiently on newer I-140 petitions. That solution would be hell for people with older I-140 applications
Same source, but latest bulletin :
10/17/2008: I-140 Delays and USCIS Answers to Discrepancy in Processing Times Between Stand-alone I-140 and Concurrent Filing Cases
"
We will see what and when "significant" decrease in reduction will take place. We still feel that the reinstatement of premium processing services should hold an answer to part of the problems. However, the USCIS answer to this question is as follows: "USCIS expects that adding other classifications to Premium Processing Service at this time would exceed USCIS� capacity to provide timely Premium Process Service. USCIS will continue to evaluate whether it is able to process other groups of cases beyond this limited classification of petitions and will provide notification of any further availability of Premium Processing Service for Form I-140."

My case is also in the same boat, My case transferred from TSC to VSC on July 20th 2009, after that I applied for AP to VSC on 7th of Aug 2009 and I haven't got any update on AP yet (did expedite the process on Sept 28th 09 through SR) ....after so many calls to TSC and VSC came to know that my case is transferred from TSC to VSC for security check and reached VSC on Sept 28th 09 (so it took more than 2 months to reach from TSC to VSC.....I think ppl will walk from TSC to VSC to transfer a case :) )
