The Forums are not secure as they are watched by anti immigrant groups. Key communications like this can only be through state chapters as the membership to the state chapters are secure. Please contact a chapter that is nearest to you. If not PM me your phone number and contact info, I can pass it on to my state chapter (IV Tri-state) and have someone contact you with information.
This drive is Key for our issues. We need to work on this and burn the phone lines. We are very close indeed.

Can H1 be extended on basis that I-485 filled and pending for more then 1 year?
GCCovet
Theoretically yes; because for a 485 to be pending for more then one year; then the labor has to be older then one year and/or the 140 is older then one year.
I think the situation that you may be talking about is where 140 has been revoked but 485 has been pending for more then one year. The law only talks about 140 and labor older then one year. If one tried to do it this way and uscis should question you then there is no legal basis of doing it.
That being said; I do know of a case where a person did get an extension even though the 140 had been revoked. Had to be a fluke and I wouldn't say that it is the norm; because there is no legal basis for it.

well..I have been waiting for my labor certifcation to get certfied for too long. just after Sep 11 I applied both for US GC and Canadian PR. My wife also applied for her GC. meanwhile her GC moved to regional when suddenly DOL thought it was time to regroup and there it went into BPC. In the meantime we got canadian PR some 2 years ago but we did not move thinking that we have jobs here.Then she got pregnant and lot of complications ( premature labor) and during those complications her company got acquired by another bigger firm who thought they don't need her..and result was job loss plus GC into the trash....meanwhile my labor certification even after 5 years was still sleeping in EB3 category(PD Oct, 2001) when i still have Masters( god knows why my lawyer put into that category)..Now my canadian PR was set to expire in march, 2007..so I thought i should decide fast..and i applied for jobs..and I got offer in vancouver with moving expenses paid from califronia..It has been the toughest decision because my employer is Indian here in california..and I have had good growth(10% average) but not the way I had wanted..I guess he also exploits..Indian exploiting another Indian..because they know I am not going anywhere..plus we work hard.. I asked him to match what was being offered in vancouver..and he started converting CAD into USD..well..it is not fair..So I have decided to heck with US and the Employer..and move on...at least I can come back..it is not an easy move because my son being premature child had lot of free facilities in california..hopefully he will get the same in Vancouver until he gets to 3 years ..and then it stops..
I have been in this country too long..and I guess one should settle down rather just wait for them to give GC...reading the other post about one lady whose EAD card got expired just tells me that how inconsistent this GC process can be and right until the end...
Anyway that is all for now

It is really sad.
Pls keep in touch with IV forum. The deadline for this reporter has expired but I will keep you in mind for any future story. your story will be useful for reporters covering this cause and ultimately will reach lawmakers and public through media reports. I wish things could work out for you in US. It is sad and there are thousands of people like you with badly affected personal lives due to the broken immigration system. A lot of my motivation to work for IV also comes from coming across people like you and thus feel strongly to do something to solve problems affecting each one of us in the IV community we have all built. Good luck and best wishes.

yes, my I-140 is approved. If your old employer revokes the I-140, as part of the processing of that revocation the USCIS *might* issue an RFE or NOID asking you for an updated employment verification letter. Per my attorney its more likely that USCIS wont do anything to the 485 right now, but will check the status of the I-140 while processing my 485. As part of preadjudication it might happen earlier, but also possible that it will only happen when my PD is current or almost current (July-2006/EB2/India). At that point we should get an RFE, and thats when my attorney plans to inform USCIS about the AC-21 change of employer.
Just a quick question:
My employer had legal dept and lawer filed G28 form for me when applied for I-485. Do we really need to hire a lawyer to represent us? I am planning to move to client under similar job description this month end and would like to see if I have to file AC21 and change the lawer representation.
I appreciate any response.

I should clarify that is "better" to have same or similar job when you are on EAD so that you labor certification-based green card application has a good standing if it is challenged at any point by the USCIS - it is a safe bet if you have a similar job. When I say it is not a necessary condition - it means that you can get any job you like, since there is nothing noted on the EAD application like it is on H1-B (with specific wage and job descrition) and if there is a challenge to your application by the USCIS, your attorney might be able to find reasons to justify why you are not in a same or similar job.
Again, to reiterate, as far as I remember, EAD renewal does not ask for job description. It is a simple application to issue an new card.
Since your I-140 has been approved for more than 6 months, you are within your legal portability rights (so called AC-21 clause) to switch employers without jeopardizing your pending adjustment of status "AOS" I-485.
My understanding is that one of two things might happen- either you will get an RFE or not. RFE can be triggered by many factors including notification from your previous employer to USCIS revoking the H1-B or other issues, including simple things like address changes. You can either provide AC-21 letter from your new employer when you get the RFE or do it proactively - listen to your attorney's advice on this.
If no RFE and priority date is current, you should get your GC as if nothing else happened. If priority date is current and at the time of GC adjudication there is an RFE, your attorney should be able to help you respond.
Don't sweat things too much - a lot of people have experienced life after the protective umbrella of H1-B and it is much nicer out here in the sun :)
Just get a good attorney to represent you personally in case your new emplyer does not have an immigration attorney on retainer for other immigrant employees.
Great..Thanks so much for your response. I will definitely consult an attorney as suggested by you, but your response gives me a ray of hope and clarifies quite a few things.
So, does this mean that same or similar job may not have any meaning? Because, now since I have an EAD, I can change my job in any field and then when my priority date becomes current, I will get my GC if no RFE occurs.
Also, does it also mean that once I have my I-140 approved and I-485 pending and also have my EAD, i don't need any kind of sponsoring or supporting documents from my new employer? I mean, can I apply to jobs that say Employer cannot sponsor a Visa or GC?
Thanks in advance.

Here is my guess on who will be in Conference from Senate side.
Sen.Specter, Sen.Cornyn, Sen.Kyl, Sen.Sessions, Sen.Brownback, Sen.Graham, Sen.Grassley, Sen.Kennedy, Sen.Durbin, Sen.Feinstein, Sen.Leahy, Sen.Feingold
You would not want to miss the sweet talking Jeff Sessions from Alabama with that Southern accent.:D
Sens. Specter, Hatch, Grassley, Kyl, DeWine, Sessions, and Graham (Seven senior-most Republicans), Leahy, Kennedy, Biden, Kohl, and Feinstein (Five senior-most Democrats).
Frist and Reid will select seven each from their respective parties to make up a total of 26.

Any idea of how many number of I-140s ? May be 50000+. It looks like it might take at least an year to process these I-140s in NSC/TSC. TSC is faster when compared to NSC, where the priority dates has not been moving, at least for EB1/EB3. What do you say ?
A trivial question: Do they process I-140s based on labor filed date (priority) or I-140 filed date ?
Hopefully they will reinstate PPS for I-140 after they are done with receipting the July/Aug applications.
Good luck to everyone.

I-140 is processed a per RD (I-140 filing date).

Finally I gave a thought to all this GC business and I am planning to start my Canadian PR too, here are my questions :
1. Does anybody know of any good immigration cunsulting company for Canadian PR processing ?
2. How much would be the total cost to get it done throught the consulting services ?
3. Are there any hidden costs which these companies tell you at the end and try to rip you ?
Thanks
1) Best do your own job. The agents/consulting companies most dont do a
good job.
http://britishexpats.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=33
Thats the newsgroup of can immigration.
You need IELTS score 7 in each section. It takes about 1.5 years if you apply from US.
"3. Are there any hidden costs which these companies tell you at the end and try to rip you ?"
Companies will always say u qualify to get you on board (for the money they get)
well companies will put the burden on u to get 7 in each section.
So my advice is u first get 7 in each section. Then only u will know if u
clear passmark. Note: 7 in each section is not a walk in the park. U need
practice(stategy).
For details see Canada immigration section in britishexpats.com
Even then if u want some help (because u dont have time etc)
contact andrew miller or jim humphries (who post in the newsgroups
often) They do have knowledge of the rules etc which u yourself can know
by reading on the newsgroup.
Cost are (if u do yourself) for one adult person ( of course family members dont need ielts test) Note: child has lesser fees
550 Can $ + 475 Can $ (if u get through) + IELTS fee (120Aust Dollars approx) + medical testing (depends on where u do india or us)
+ transcript fees + mailing feee + other smal fees.

I wouldn't care to much if they steamline the process and make all EB categories "Current". If you submit the right documentation these days i-140 does not take more than an month.
But if the retrogression is like this then as well a retrogressed person does not care as in any case he cannot file together. The only people who are affected is the people who are eligible to apply for both with the PD as current. But how many people are there now in that frame of benefit.
So I really feel it should not bother us too much especially people from India. If I am wrong correct me.
