Some Background:
My employer filed for my residency in 2008. Per my employer, my PD is Jan 2008 and my I140 has been approved. My 6th year on H1B will be over in August 2011.
My questions to Attorney Reddy are as follows:
1. Can I switch employers now and retain my old PD?
2. Since I do not have a copy of the I140, would the employer be able to withdraw my I140 application?
3. Will I be able to get a 3 year extension on my H1B with the new employer based on my approved I140?
Please let me know. And many thanks to Ms. Reddy for providing this great service to the immigrant community :)

Guys,
Getting a residency now is very difficult. Getting a waiver now should not be that hard. I would not say it is easy but if you get a residency position, just take it. We hesitated at first but got through all the issues without any problem.

Teky.

Dude,
Nebraska is infact slower than Texas as far I-140/I485 goes. Checkout this link....http://www.murthy.com/news/n_nscexp.html
It says NSC is slower because they have extra VSC cases to deal with but would improve significantly once they are done with VSC cases in future.
My I-140/I-485 was filled in June 2006 too and its being processed in NSC. All we can do is wait and watch...

My wife is currently pregnant and so she could not take all the vaccinations that are required. She did the other required medicals though. Will this cause our applications to be denied? Will they allow my wife to get the shots after our baby is born?

SO if USCIS wants to make a new rule of filing I485 for the one whose I 140 is cleared and priority date is not current, It CAN DO That RULE Right?
We do not need any Congress approval for that Right?
If so can we explore this option??
I agree with you. Why we don`t explore this option ???? USCIS make so many rule by itself then why they don`t make this rule to file 485 while PD is not current without going in Senate. Like they start premium processing of I-140. They make this rule without any bill in US Senate. correct me if I am wrong
I think, core team should look this option or ask us to find more information about it. I think, core team can meet with high official from USCIS.
what do you guys think about it ??
thx.

Listen,
What difference does it make if it is EB@ or EB3, the point is, we should stand UNITED we all benefit. If the recapture visa bill passes, then we all will benefit.
Please don't post any more viewpoints stating " I wont fight"
It is your loss and everyone's . If you choose to step out of IV and fight all by yourself, I wish you all the best.
We senior members have been fighting for the greater cause, it for you junior members to carry this forward. The foundation of IV has to be strong, it has been strong.
IV has not patience for people who want to discriminate between EB2 or EB3, we need people who see a broader perspective of things, EB community as a whole.
If the recapture visa bill passes, think we all will benefit, will we still question about EB2 or EB3.
Please be wise and be patient, we need everyone to change this system

Hello All -
I am planning to get my PP renewed at the NY consulate and had a couple of questions and I was hoping someone could shed some light on them.
i) The DC website states that one can *only* apply 6 months before expiration date but the NY website does not? Mine is going to expire in ~8 months. Anyone know if it is 6 mo across all consulates?
ii) They have it in big red font that the photograph should be 3.5 cm * 3.5 cm, the US standard PP size is 50 mm * 50 mm .. any ideas where I can get them done in the right dimension?
iii) If applied in person do they issue the PP the same evening?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience esp. at the NY consulate

If it’s small consulting firm with a mom-pop type attorney just be very care-full! I was in same situation in 2001 my H1B pimp promised me that my LC was filed but they were waiting to put me behind 2001 May 31 (all 245(i)) and that’s what they did....that LC is probably still somewhere in PBEC ...well I was new to the game and I ended up wasting almost 5 years on that.
Another story - my wife's consulting firm promised her that if she pays for LC they will continue her GC even if she joins the client we paid almost $7000 for LC it finally got approved probably few months back when attorney and employers stopped returning her call and e-mail. She contacted PBEC and we found that LC was approved...I'm sure they sold it someone else like us.
Anyone needs name of these two consulting firms just PM me
You must insist on photocopy and all receipts for your own record, your life depends on it!
My Lawyer does whatever my employer tells him. They never give any receipt notice or approval notice to employees.
They did not even let me file my EAD and AP along with I-485.
I can file EAD/AP myself but I'm worried they might not give me the receipt notice of my I-485 filed in july, in a last ditch effort to prevent me from fleeing(I don't yet have any intention btw) or atleast make it difficult for me.
I'm sure there would be many in this situation.
Any thoughts what can be done?

I would support this bill since it makes a lot of sense. I am not going to benefit from this since I have masters and not PhD but people who have sacrificed the lure of big money to live on campus with 2-3 roomies for almost 5 years in which time their friends who graduated are driving lexus and staying in 5 Br homes need some consolation prize. This is a great move for these students as well as the country.
While I definitely support this bill, I fail to understand your logic here. They definitely are bright candidates but they did everything by choice for the personal and professional gain. They should be given GC because they are asset to this country not because they don't own lexus or 5 Br house which by the way tells a lot about other hardworking people who own them.

Hi ,
I received RFE on my I-131 application asking for all the I-94's that is being issued to me.
I had been in and out of US many times and there's lot if I-94's involved and I don't anything with me except the latest. What options do I have?... Also couple of times during my earlier trip (initial visits in US), the AIR Line didn't even take the I-94 from my Passport which ultimately I lost.
My Passport has all the entries indicating my Date in and Date out...
Gurus - What do you advise on my case...
Anybody's input are highly appreciated and I know we could somehow get the I-94 copies by requesting USCIS. (That is time consuming)... I have to respond in next five to ten days...
What options do I have?...
Thanks.

I am sure lot of us who are stuck in this GC mess like you can relate to your frustration and must be looking for a backup plan. There are certainly other attractive options like you mentioned if one does decide to jump ship and frankly I have done the same. Should this GC issue not get resolved in a reasonable amount of time, I am fully prepared and ready to jump off of GC wagon. I suggest we all do that.
Guys,
The reality is that we are just being played upon by the companies and the US govt regarding green cards. Employers know that we are not going to budge from our jobs to maintain the coveted priority date and the government is in no big hurry to reform the system as they can collect taxes from us without being accountable to us.
I think Democrats are also going to drag the immigration issue as seen by the article below :
http://www.suntimes.com/news/otherviews/151357,CST-EDT-Perez28.article
I do not mean to doubt IV, but the writing is on the wall that our lobbying efforts are not going to go too far.
For all of you single people out there, the only fastest option is to marry a US girl/guy. For all those who are married, the choices are simple, forget the American dream and adopt a Canadian or Australian dream or endure the uncertainty of a green card application.
I have reached the conclusion that I cannot bear this uncertainty any more and therefore, I am pursuing other options. Ciao...Good luck to all those waiting for a GC!

Prem : It is their will, they can issue it again, if they feel that considerable time has passed and they want to check if you are still employed on terms mentioned in your Labor.
No one can question USCIS, they can even deny an approved application. It is not a give and take exercise with them............. it's a one way street.:)

....does PD porting require that the new GC application have exactly the same job profile as the one for which the original Labor was filed and I-140 approved?
No.
The only requirement is that both I-140 must have same beneficiary and all I-140 must belong to eb-1, eb-2, OR eb-3 preference categories.
The Priority Date recapture applies ONLY for immigrant petitions (I-140) approved under EB-1, EB-2 or EB-3 classification.

Guys,
I took an info pass last week to check the status of my case. Specifically to check whether the interfile is success or not. IO at USCIS office mentioned that she cannot check whether my case is in EB2 or EB3. I am surprised to hear that. Gurus any has this kind of experience?
Also, She mentioned that my case is assigned to an Officer on August 13th. Do any one has any info how many days(on average), an Office will take to approve a case. Any info. is helpful to me and all.
Overall the Field Office people were polite.
Thanks,
