it is a great idea. It takes a lot of work to organize an event like this. We will get a lot of publicity and it will be a good fund raising event as well. Would you be willing to take a lead on organizing an event for us?
I wore a IV T-Shirt and a cap when I participated in the Long Beach Half Marathon in October. A few of us in So.Cal chapter thought we will participate in a turkey Trot run with IV T shirts and caps last thanksgiving but that did not happen. I am going to register for Long Beach Half marathon this year as well and I plan on using my IV T-shirt

Sure, I am up for it.
PS: Just the 5 or 1 mile run for now ;) baby steps
One in the East Coast, One in the west coast and one in between.
For the West coast I would pick the SanFrancisco Marathon (Just to be sure that gsc999 participates :p) on August 03'rd. The participants of this event can choose either a 5k, half marathon or a full marathon. This event should be fun to be part of. We have lot of committed members in our No.Cal chapter.
Nola: you already have my e-mail so please add me to your list. Meanwhile, I will post your message in our Nor. Cal. yahoo group.
Thanks to all for your support. :)The first step I would like to propose is that we need to establish a group called Team IV Coordinators. Those who are interested in being part of this group, please send me a private message with your e-mail address so that I can set up a group e-mail to present and discuss the ideas to get us started. The Coordinator Group should be Team IV members whether you run/walk or not. I will take the lead but of course, I would love to have a core group to bounce ideas off of and to have as a resource pool.
I agree with picking 3 national events as previously suggested, one on east coast, one west coast and one centrally located.
Please send me Private Messages with your e-mail or contact info so that we can get the Coordinator Group up and running to set out the parameters of Team IV.
Thanks!! :)
People in San Diego please let me know if you want to meet me this Saturday afternoon, it would be great if we can start a local IV chapter in San Diego.
We can discuss this new initiative proposed by Nola. I can also share our strategy and update you personally on our progress on the Admin fix campaign.
Cheers!

I don't know much about Labor Subs to answer...what I did notice is that your lawyer is through company...not going to generalize, but with company lawyers you really should question them and not believe totally what they say....meaning do your own research too. Company lawyer's are interested in keeping employees longer at company and can sometimes push you to do things to cause that. I don't know why you can't have 2 I 140's. But withdrawing your first one would invalidate your 485/ead and depending on your priority date (which would be 2007/2008) and country of birth, you may not have a chance to apply for 485 for a long long time (meaning stuck in same job for long long time...). Again I don't know much about labor subs, my advice is to do your own reasearch, get answers, opinions, and not just take company's lawyers word on everything.
You are right! This is our company lawyers. They are very bureaucratic and always says as per company policy...Here is their response that why they have to withdraw:
"1. An I-140 is a statement the employer makes to the immigration service regarding what job the beneficiary will be performing. We filed an I-140 LC Sub petition on your behalf stating that you will be working in a XXXX position. We will not file another petition stating that you will be working in another position / occupation XXXX without withdrawing the first statement (I-140 LC Sub).
2. If we file the I-140 based on the LC-PERM, we would interfile it into your pending AOS, so your AOS would be pending based on the pending I-140 (NOT the withdrawn LC Sub)."
I know that their first point is all "BS"...am going to fight this with my Manager. But, the second point am not sure.
Is it possible to interfile if the PD is not current? My pending LC SUB and the PERM LC PD, both are not current. Please confirm whether it is true or not. This will help me make my case.
Thanks to you all in advance

Agreed. In addition, you don't have sword of VISA status hanging on you every morning when yuo wake up.
I can not convince my self about one would not get job forever. Few of my friends struggled for jobs for about six to ten months but then they actually got good jobs and that is even in industrail engineering area with indian experience.
Yes, thats what I am saying, too. Some of our friends perhaps had to look for a job longer, but some are even with the same comp for years and years, just reg 9-5 IT job, one guy is Sys admin, the other is programmer. I know it sounds unbelievable but no one complains about workload, having to sacrifice qaulity time with their familes, paying too much in taxes or car insuarance or similar. Moreover, they can afford to have vacation twice a year and they all have families, purchuased real estate and the likes.
In fact, in my home-country, coming to the US on H1 visa and then getting EB green card is literary unheard off. Very very few souls came via that route and not all succedded in getting their GC
The way things are right now is that my husband is married to his job, BECAUSE of VISA status sword, working overtime, sometime 24/7, not having time for his family and rather unsatsfied with the quality of life.
But then, that is nothing new, right? Everyone here is in the same boat.

Thanks for sharing the link, I will go through this.
It is not about money. I have absolutely no problem giving even 100$s per month for the cause if I know how my hard earned money is being spend. Actions like deleting threads, banning users just for asking reports, makes people uncomfortable. Have you seen the financial report at Eb3 Chinese Financial Report - ��›-�‰�-��Œ�š秿�-‘�•�-‹信�‰˜�Ÿ��‡‘ (http://www.eb3chinese.org/5.html).
BTW, Hari if IV doesn't show you the links to donar forum, how will you know what you are missing ...
just my 2 cents.
I am the same as you. I would rather trust IV than an Immigration lawyer, and we don't have any other viable option. Every member here is a high skilled immigrant and there is no public Company or business doing this.
I saw the website, they are probably the only ones giving details , and if I recall they haven't achieved anything until now (maybe co-related?)
IV has details for all previous years and in the video they have given justification. Most other Advocacy groups are run by lawyers not immigrants. None of them give a day-today expense report. I have also learnt the hard way what the priorities of immigration attorneys are.
many of them have spoken in favor of Illegal amnesty as it would increase their business while almost ignoring us.

How do we know if you have 40 credits?
Where do we check or compute this?
It is very simple calculation.
Every year if you earn more that certain amount it becomes four credit. I don't know current amount, but it used to be very low between $5000 and 6000 per year. Usually people in computer industry might be earning 4 credits in first month (Jan) itself.
You can't get more than 4 credit in a year. It takes 10 years to accumulate 40 credit (basically it become 10 tax returns).
Low wage people earning less than $5000-6000 per year take more than 10 years to accumulate 40 credit.
Also this 40 credit need not be contineous.
F1 students and on OPT usually don't pay Social Security Taxes and so don't earn tax credit points.

Narrow-minded, selfish people like yourself took advantage of July 07 disaster and got your EAD when your PD viz EB3 Dec 2005 was NOWHERE CLOSE TO BEING CURRENT!
And now you think people who ported their dates are abusing the system! Yeah right...
Why don't you surrender your EAD first before shooting off your mouth?:mad: If you have so much sense of what's fair and what's not, don't just talk about it. Prove it.

Hello Krishnam
Since your GC is for future employment, your current employer might not be able to support you on H1 but you can always get them to support you for future employment and so they can still not revoke your 140 petition process. So if possible be on good terms with them and ask them to keep your 140 process intact
I have a I-485 pending, and there is a chance I may be laid off after 180 days. Would I have to have another similar job offer at hand, or can I still continue looking for a job after 180 days of I-485 till I find one ?
Thank you for your help.
1. What is your current status? H1/EAD? 140 approved/in process
a) If 140 is approved and you filed 485 and its been 180 days and if you meanwhile have an EAD in hand,
a1) then you can move to a new employer using the EAD or
a2) transfer H1 and have no problems with GC process.
If USCIS asks you then you say you are using AC21. At that time since your 140 is approved/contains all required initial evidence USCIS will not ask anything more. If they do however ask then your new company will need to provide all the required information again.
Required initial evidence, as specified under 8 CFR 204.5(g)(2), includes copies of: (1) annual reports, (2) federal tax returns, or (3) audited financial statements. The petitioner must submit a copy of at least one of these required documents
There is big thread on this forum somewhere about Initial evidence. Search should reveal it
b)If 140 is pending and you filed 485 and its been 180 days but you dont have an EAD, if 140 petition is not withdrawn then you can find an employer to support your H1 ( assuming you are on H1. Not sure abt L1 case)
-goodluck
