If the minister talks to the US President regarding VISA retrogression problem,How the outside world will come to know ? The discussions will be kept confidential ! I don't think everything will be disclosed to the press. VISA revalidation is another thing he can talk to US Secretary of State.

Thanks a lot. Pls. tell them about immigrationVoice and ask them to cover our issues.
Absolutely - in all responses I include my actual name/ email / sometimes my address or phone number if they request it. I always include a link to the IV homepage and disclose I am a member of the group - along with key issues our group faces (mainly a synopsis of the "green card process and problems" resource page here, and an example case study summary - i.e. "this is what is happening to me")

Let them inform. Logically nothing should happen. The company wants to be in the safer side by informing USCIS.
Since you are in EAD, take unemployment and enjoy life. Hope for the best and get ready for the worst.
My company laid me off in one day without thinking a H1B guy has to leave the country immediatley. I asked them to buy my car, furniture and appartment lease as an obligation for fair value. Because of that i got 2 weeks more time to think over. Anyway they are not going to pay. Did you ask the company to pay you a return airfare to your country. If you ask, they will need time to research and you will get more free time.
This is completely wrong. Once you are in EAD and got laid off...you lose your status. There is one more thread in this forum where one guy applied for unemployed benefit in EAD, in a weeks times the ICE was coming to his home and severed the notice to appear in the court. That guy started the thread and every one bashing him for applying the unemployment benefit. But he later came to know that his employer notified the USCIS that he got laid off during EAD. So he lost his status and they wanted to deport him. I am not sure about the outcome. He is here in only in the IV. 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.

I think the spirit of those who have got their Green Cards and still come can be summed up as "Fight for what is right first. Fight for our rights second."
I think those who are having a fight inside the camp do not have that spirit. That is why they can not agree on things.

but, Once I was stopped at the airport by a security agent while travelling within US and he asked me abouit my status. When I mentioned I am on Work Visa he asked me to show the passport and Visa, I was not carrying one. I showed him my DL, He was on call with someone for 20-30min and come back returned my DL and istructed to carry the passport whenever travelling.
Per law, all H1B papers (atleast LCA) should be kept where non-immigrants work. There is no clear law for non-immigrants to hold passport/visa/EAD always with them. They recommend always to keep with you. Further, consulates( when they issue visa), won't give any specific instruction to non-immigrants to carry passport/visa always with them. However, for immigrants (LPR) it is very clear that one MUST hold orginal GC always with them. It is rule/law. The welcome notice clearly shows. Although, many dont practice, it is still a rule. I heared a story when a guy pulled off he got big trouble, when he claimed he is a LPR; and does not carry the GC.

For the August visa bulletin, USCIS gave all the extra quota to EB2. I don't think this is fair for all the EB3 people. I thougt the reason they gave all the quota to them was the EB2 included NIW. But NIW is just a small portion of EB2. Majority EB2 peopole are like EB3 working for companies and not necessarily important to give all the extra quota to them. If the policy continues, our EB3 will just become fake immigration. You don't know how long we can finalize our case. Gugs, please work together and let our voice to be heard by USCIS. Hope our organization can help us.
Fairness in immigration is a myth dude.
While we understand the plight of EB3 folks, EB2 ain't better either.
Have you ever read moral stories about "Unity is strength"?
We should focus on collective efforts to get Visa recapture, preparing for DC rally rather than rant on spill over topic!!

I understood that if your employer revokes I-140 you have to start the process all over again with a new emplyer, even with AC21. i thought only if the employer does not revoke can you keep your PD and continue from I-485 stage with the new employer. someone, please confirm if this is wrong/correct
I think answer is - Wrong.
My understanding (after reading a lot on multiple sites; I am not a lawyer) is that once you file I140 and I485 and six months are passed you can use AC21 provisions and continue the same I485 application if the new positions is same/similar even if old I140 is revoked. There are multiple scenarios here each having different levels of risks/issues (again as per my understanding):
(i) You filed I140 and I485 (concurrent or separate). I140 is approved. I485 is pending for six months. You got a job with another employer with same/similar function (i.e. same SOC code; and salary is not radically different; similar title). This is the straight forward case. You can change the job � send a letter to UCSIS in a proper format informing them of your job change and new address if any. No need to start the process from scratch at new place even if old employer revokes your I140 your 485 should be approved when priority dates are current.
(ii) You filed I140 and I485 (concurrent or separate). I140 is NOT approved. I485 is pending for six months. This is a bit complicated case but heard still possible if the old employer does not revoke the I140; but if its revoked then back to square one at new employer. It might be possible to keep the priority date if relevant docs are collected (see next).
(iii) I140 is approved, you havnt yet applied for 485. If you change jobs you �might� be able to keep the priority date (if you can get documents). I am not sure if we can keep priority dates if I140 is revoked in this case.
Please comment if my understanding is correct.
Also on a related subject what happens to H1b extension if underlying I140 is revoked? My case is like this: am in 6th year of H1B; applying for I140. Once its approved, planning to apply for 3year extension. After that change employers with new 3year H1B (I know the process has to start fresh at the new place). What happens to my H1B if the old employer revokes the I140. Does this mean my extended h1b is invalid or I can continue without any issues? Anyone in similar situation?

what kind of logic / law is here, if you are a US citizen you can marry and bring your spouse, if you are on pending 485 you can bring but if you become LPR you have to wait for 5 years......
Is there any background for this restriction......... looks stupid to me.:mad:

I have 2 questions, the first one is about changing the employer after 180 days, what do we need to change the employer? do we have to file any thing with DOL or INS? do we need to be sponsered by the new company?
The second question is about the ability of the spouse to work, what is needed for her to work? just getting EAD and he/she can work for any employer?
Thanks.
It will help. I will give you an practical example.
I filed my GC two months later than my colleagues. Fortunately they filed 485 and hit the retrogression. I did not get to that step. Now it is almost two years after they have filed their 485. Just because they have crossed that stage, they are considered for promtion and I am not though I have better experience and certifications. They bought houses and their spouses work.
My company is ready to promote me to higher position if I can cross that 180days mark after 485 filing. If I had promoted to leadership / managerial position, it would weigh more when I apply for MBA. I will have lesser headache at home if my spouse can work and lot more.
The best part of filing is, you could get EAD even if the 485 is pending and backlogged. You have to do nothing other than filing to get all the above perks. No need to get it approved. Let it get stuck anywhere, none can predict that. You have to cross this stage no matter what and why not at the earliest. No one can assure you even after the SKIL/CIR passage that you will not get stuck with name check / RFE /USCIS backlog etc. Why to wait then?

You guys really have to give a deep thought before you suggest names that contain the word slave....
The argument goes like this : America is a great country. We do not want slavery. Slave labor would undercut citizen salaries. Slave labor should be abolished..Hey..These people call themselves slaves...Let's abolish H1B program...H1b must be abolished...
Now see where the argument ended up...Think completely what you are getting into...
I am all for abonding H1B, when did IV promoted H1B program, we have this mess today due to H1B and itz loopholes,
I don't use word slave very lightly, but we need to accept the fact many of H1Bs are handcuffed with current system, We need system similar to Austrialia, Canada a point based system or very similar to Nurses in US they get GC before even coming to US.
H1Bs are truly pulling the wages down, I know I did when I came here I have no argument with anti-immigrants with this subject, but giving GCs to these H1Bs will have fair chance to compete in Market
Corporate leaders such Bill Gates and Senators such as Kennady do know this issue and have deep understanding but they don't give a rat about it,

Good points: Here is what I think:
- future VBs
- visa availability in the coming months
FOR THIS I HAVE DISCUSSED DETAILED PREDICTION IN FOLLOWING THREAD:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20863
- awareness about visa wastage
DEFINITELY A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT. ALL THE HAPPENINGS OF THIS YEAR (USCIS AND DOL DEPOSITIONS FOR IMMIGRATION BILLS ETC..) THERE IS CLEARLY MUCH MORE AWARENESS ABOUT VISA WASTAGE AND IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE TRYING REAL HARD TO AVOID IT...:)
- dates becoming current for most EB categories
- light at the end of tunnel for most of us
I GUESS BOTH THESE THINGS ARE THE SAME. I THINK EB2 AND EB3 ROW WILL BE CURRENT BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR AND EB3 INDIA AND CHINA WILL MOVE FORWARD SIGNIFICANTLY TO USE UP THE OVERFLOW (AS THERE ARE NO 485S FILED AFTER JULY 2007). HOPEFULLY MOST EB2 WILL GET THEIR GCS IN NEXT TWO YEARS. ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR FOR EB3 INDIA AND CHINA (ONLY A GUESS)
- USCIS efficiencies
NO COMMENT ON THIS: THEY PROVED IT AGAIN....THEY CAN NEVER BE EFFICIENT...EITHER THEY DONT HAVE RESOURCES OR THEY DONT HAVE MECHANISM TO USE THEM (LIKELY LATER SCENARIO)..AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT MAJOR RESTRUCTURING OF THE SYSTEM. EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING BECOMES CURRENT, THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WITH PD IN 2001 AND 2002 STILL WAITING.

Dhundhun,
I hold high regard for your postings...but in the 765 manual, I could not find any such rule that you just mentioned..Here is an excerpt from Pg 9 of
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf
If your response to Question 16 is (c)(9) ....
Otherwise, if you filed your I-485 adjustment application with
a USCIS Service Center, you must file Form I-765 at the
Nebraska Service Center or the Texas Service Center,
depending on where you live (see the following addresses)......
Are you sure ?? :confused:
I have recently moved from Ohio to Pennsylvania and am about to file for renewal. Thanks....
Sorry to hear that case is gone to wrong office. The (c)(9)() class of EAD filing instruction is that it must be sent where I485 is being processed.
During infopass visit, officer must have given some clue.
If I were you, I would be sending the supporting documents with a covering letter stating the blunder. This type of mistake should not be uncommon to USCIS offices and they should have procedures to fix it.

We might agree at first, we will try again , lets keep on doing that till we succeed. Please understand each one of us and help themselves and all of us.
I suggest a title for our campaign
"HOW LONG?"3 years, 5 years, 7 years, 10 years, 15 years, 20 years or more?
PD in 2008 was 2001
PD in 2009 was 2001 and so on.........

If one gets a US Masters, the 3 year undergrad is not a problem if you go for EB2 based on Masters.
You cannot get a masters from a good universitiy based on 3 year undergrad from India. However, there are many shady universities in the US that will give away masters degree for some money. Most of the people in IT use these routes and the USCIS is coming hard on them. univ of Pheonix, even though an accredited univ, is an invitiation for greencard audit. You can try your luck. Chances are slim. Make sure you don't screw up your eb3 application.

I was not bragging. I was just thinking out aloud, so to speak. Economic ups and downs like this this are a normal part of economic cycles in a capitalist economy. My observation is that IT industry is not as badly affected as other sectors. I have not seen people sitting without jobs for extended periods. I mean, some people do loose jobs but they get something else within a couple of weeks. That is pretty much normal functioning of markets.
