I just called the office of a couple of senior members of the CHC. It takes a few minutes guys and it does make a difference. You only realize that after you call. Find out for yourselves.
They took down my name and location. If you are in the congressmans district then you definitely MUST call, it DEFINITELY has an impact as your call has five times the impact. Sometimes the aides will actually get into a conversation with you and then you, we and IV get to shine. Our cause is just, our request is least controversial and if we can persuade a few minds we stand a reasonable chance. Let me share with you an example.
The rep. from Congressman Guttierez office told me they were not blocking this bill, then I suggested that Congressman Guttierez is one of the leaders in congress on this topic and him taking an active lead in supporting these bills will convince a lot of other congressmen, so I am looking to him to lead on this. I told her that all immigration issues has been stalled in congress for over 3 yrs now and he needs to take the lead in getting the ball rolling again. I suggested that this will help build a coalition when CIR bill with most of the employment based provisions are discussed. However a movement on bills such as this will allow others to feel something can be done on this issue, right now there is paralysis. She agreed to speak with him on this and once again reiterated Rep. Guttierez is not blocking the Lofgren bills. I thanked her and asked if she could ask him to consider co-sponsoring the bills. She agreed to pass on the message.
The other offices took a message.

I am in similar situation. Originally applied to NSC, got Xfr'd to CSC. Now CSC after processing EAD/AP Xfr'd my I-485 back to NSC.
ANyone in similar situation has rcvd Finger printing notices? I assume Aug 17th filers at NSC are ahead of us?
Also, i received the EADs in mail, but haven't received the AP even though online status reads AP mailed a week back. Any idea how long it takes to get AP after it online status reads approved?
Please share any information.

Why in the first place you guys are applying if they say in a news that they are going to reject. It is all because of the lawyer. Whatever goes wrong let the people who applied suffer. Whatever goes right let the people who applied be happy.

Hi All,
I would really appreciate everyone's honest opinions on this matter.
We filed 140 and 485 concurrently in July 2007, EB3. As of now there is no word on either application. Previously we had also obtained Canadian PR, the 3 year grace period of which will expire this August.
Not only am I faced with a decision of staying in the US or going to Canada, but my future career is on the line too. This year I will be 23. After taking my undergrad degree in electrical engineering, I have been accepted into Boston University Law School in the US as well as the University of British Columbia Faculty of Law in Canada. Canadian lawyers make around half as much as American ones after all factors are considered.
In your opinion, should I stay in the US, going to law school, in hopes that the green card will come through, or should I pursue a new life in Canada, but take the lower future salary / international renown?
This issue is currently causing much discord in my family. I hope to hear your frank opinion so that I won't take my decision lightly.
Many Thanks! :)

Hi poorslumdogs,
If you refer to some thread, please do not ask others to search for it. Instead paste its link in your post so others can read it.
I heard from my friends there are no legal implications if you get laid off on EAD and you also have a valid parolee document.
This should get verified from an attorney though, specially if others create a doubt.
[QUOTE=.....That thread was created in the last 2-3 months time. So search for it.
There is definitely some legal implication otherwise why your employer wants to inform USCIS. They wanted to be in the safer side. So if anything happens you are the one going to face the music. So check with some good attorney.[/QUOTE]

I got RFE through attorney. It is asking following details
1. Emloyment verification letter with present and intended permanent employer
2. Last two months pay slips
3. "Although your I 140 petitioner indicated in your initial I485 filing that you were employed by company A at that time, your Form G325 indicated that you were employed by company B and you were authorized by B at that time, please explain discrepancy"
I am bit worried about question 3. I worked for company A and labor, I140 applied when I was with A.
But during I485 filing I was with company B and in G325 I mentioned that.
It looks like company A by mistake mentioned that I was still with them.
I called my attorney he said its upto me decide which company I should work for.
But I am not sure company A provides an employment letter for me because I am working for comapny B now.
If B provides employment letter since it is >180 days since I 485 applied, will there be any issues?
Please give your opinions...
Did you put employment letter or offer letter from employer A while filing the I485?

This is something that's doable without legislation. It would be done for employment based visas.
I've been reading the posts all day since yesterday. The most plausible "PERMANENT SOLUTION" has to be this. Please read the msg from IV
1. No change in July bulletin
2. No change in August bulletin
3. Well in that case it has to be this. It would be least controversial.
Please avoid all this sensationalism in your thread headers! You don't seem to know squat and are claiming something without any reference...the red dot/square seems appropriate...why I am replying to this!?

Our company is supporting semi conductor firms IT operations with both offshore and onsite. So basically all our work is already at minimum expense, but still our company is asking us to move many more jobs to offshore. They have stopped funding of all new project.
So i think it's pretty tough. But brighter side is in the market there are still some jobs

Every credit reporting company has option to put freeze on your account. They will assign you a security key for the freeze.
Search for "experian freeze"
You can manage your freeze account online. So, when someone wants to run your credit report, it will be denied. You would have to manually lift the freeze for anyone to access your credit report.

My point was that it doesn't matter. It represents $1000/ per person, hardly enough to make a dent in poverty. We need sensible labor laws, a pro-business attitude, and that money will return to India.
Dude, I am sure a lot of that money in these accounts belongs to the same "Railbay Meeneester' you are talking about..

look up O*NET codes yourself:
http://online.onetcenter.org/find/
A recruiter would perhaps be: 13-1071.01 or 13-1071.02.
What is your O*NET code from your LCA?
If its software engineer: 15-1031.00 or 15-1032.00 then this move is potentially risky.
I know that its a greayarea but are there any general guidelines on the O*NET code that will pass as same/similar test of AC21. For example if a person change a job from a job code of 15-10xx to 15-10yy is less risky; while changing from 15-10xx (programmer) to 15-20yy (mathematician) might be more risky etc.
Does USCIS takes this approach of comparing the job codes based on title or job description? It could lead to misinterpreation by the already confused USCIS personnel who will deal with these cases (who may not what an oracle appl engineer does).

I came back last month from India via Frankfurt on Lufthansa. Airline does suck badly, but there is no need for transit visa if you got valid AP/visa stamp.
Folks - Amsterdam, Dubai, Brussels are the best way to go. 4 years back, I had problems with Lufthansa, I did not know I ahd to take transit visa and they never allowed me on flight and I had to travel the next day by going to german consulate in morning get visa and went back in afternoon, and surprisingly they had blocked me for that day. Until then, I always used to travel ONLY by lufthansa, but after that experience, I never wanted to. I always fly emirates and I like it.

Isn't it a relief? if the officer calls you for interview, checks your documents and says approved but no GC till PD current? I can live happily with it for couple of years atleast without thinking of GC. The feeling of getting GC in future 100% is almost equal to having GC today. You can change jobs on AC21 without fear and use EAD and AP full force and forget about renewing H1b's

The realistic answer is no. It is almost impossible to get eb2 in software jobs. On an average it is taking more 9 months to get labor clearence that too if it is eb3. if you are trying eb2 that is almost a definite audit. We have a case in our company which was stuck in audit (eb2) for more than an year now. our company and attorney have a policy that they are no longer filing eb2 (offcourse it is a different matter than they are no longer filing any green card application because of layoffs). So unless you are working for a desi "con"sultant company not many american companies (almosy none) are filing eb3 green card perm applications leave alone eb3 to eb2 conversions. Even desi companies are scared shit because USCIS is knocking the living daylights out of them. Even desi companies are scared of filing eb3 green card perm applications leave alone eb2.
we are living in a different age now where there are reports that USCIS is sending out invistigators to look into even ac21 cases. Enforcement has gone up, hint :last year h1 got filled on day 1, we are almost 6 months since h1 opened and only 45k h1 have been filled, the reason is USCIS is giving all sorts of rfe, so nobody is filing for h1. Forget about porting as in this environment you will not even find somebody doing eb3, only day dreamers will think of some company willing to file eb2 in software.
My wife has more than 5 years of US experience and we cant even get her employer to file Eb3 because they are saying they are getting tons of resumes in response to advertisement and they dont want to do any green cards for atleast an year.
As slim a chance as it is, visa recapture or some administrative fix like a temporary green card or relaxation of ac21 regulations like same semilar job restrictions is our best bet.
Hi All,
I am on H1B from 1998, 12th year and counting.
I applied for my labour 2 times but unfortunately because of different reasons those labor processings could not continue. 3rd time I could use a substitute labor (priority date Oct 2003) which is an EB3 labor certificate in 2005. I applied for I-140 and got approved in 2005.
I applied for I-485 in July 2007 when USCIS opened the gates. My 485 is pending. I got EAD. I am still continuing my H1B status with my new employer.
I am not working for the company that processed my GC. Recently I got an RFE like everyone else about my current employment and responded with the support of my current employer.
I think that the dates for EB3 will not move any further in any near future.
My question is, can I in any way convert my case from EB3 to EB2. If yes, what would be the process.
Please advice.
Thanks in Advance.

gc_chahiye,
Thanks for your suggestions.I checked with my Lawyer about the job title .she says job responsibilities matter in this case.Job title is for any company's internal designation it seems.
I don't know exactly what AC 21 regulations are.I just want to follow any best Lawyer's advice in this matter.
The term Technical Recruiter is very generic This job can be done by any person who doesn't have any technical background .But If a person with good technical skills will bring more value to the company.
The area which i'm focussing is basically IT Sales.Company which is offering me this Technical recruiter position is impressed with my technical back ground and hiring me.They are actually looking for some one who is very senior and having good amount of experience with Technical back ground specially ERP Packages.The role is also not confined to just recruiting but meeting the clients and bidding the tech support and new impementations for the company.
I personally see lot of career growth in this path.But unfortunately there is nothing one can do in this matter.
Thanks,
