Hey folks,
The proposed bill to give green card to PhDS does not include all the PhDs. PhDs listed as STEM(Science engineering technology majors) are only eligible through this bill in current form. Graduates from pharmacy, medicine, veterinary medicine, animal science are not listed as STEM. I am sure there are many more majors not listed as STEM. I think we should write a letter to congressmen about this anomaly. And I encourage non STEM PhDs to represent their concern so that we can unite and represent our concerns to the congress men. immigrtion service department has listed the subject codes fall under STEM.
You have to browse through the following link to see code for your major. http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2002/cip2000/ciplist.asp.
once you know the code for your major you can go to http://www.ice.gov/sevis/stemlist.htm to check weather your program is listed there as STEM.
good luck
It is very comprehensive list. It covers every field. Graduates of pharmacy, medicine, vet medicine etc are not PhDs. They have to go through special programs to get that degree.

You need to have your old I-140 approved to port PD to your new I-140. If the old 140 is not approved by the time you file you new 140...thats fine. At a later stage when your old 140 gets approved have your lawyer send a letter to the processing center with PD porting request for the new one. At that time your new 140 can be in processing stage.
Hope this helps.
My Old I-140 (EB2) from previous employer is already approved but i left that company and joined a new company. I checked status of my Old I-140 online till today it shows approved and i have the original copy of my Old approved I-140. So the question is do i need to send a letter for porting the date after new I-140 is approved or the letter can be sent along with the application for new I-140. OR file new I-140 and later on send a letter to port priority date.
Second option that comes to my mind is, joining the previous employer again next year... but i am still thinking about that, i am already in my 5th year of H1b.
Thanks.

I think we are confusing multiple issues here. Once the 6 month period is over where the I-140 is approved and the I-485 is pending for 180 days it does NOT matter if the employer revokes the I-140 or not. You are good to go! (Unless ur a classified terrorist or a criminal).
United Nations is right. Let’s say that there’s an employee with an approved I-140 + pending I-485 who switches his job using AC21 after 180 days. Now there are 2 possibilities here
1) Employer revokes I-140 (AC21 applicable here)
2) USCIS revokes I-140 (AC21 not applicable here)
Employer revokes I-140: In this case unless the employee had filed AC21 papers, I-485 is most likely to be denied as USCIS doesn’t have any record that the beneficiary still has similar or same job offer. Hence its advisable to file AC21 well in advance in such situations.
USCIS revokes I-140: At times USCIS might revoke a previously approved I-140 if the employer fails the “Ability to pay” test for all pending GC applications. This is more dangerous as the bonafide nature of the previous I-140 approval is in question now. Refer one of my old threads below on this topic.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=230209&postcount=9
Such a situation can be avoided if the employer himself withdraws the I-140’s of ex-employees so that he’s no longer burdened to prove ATP for all pending GC applications.

Hi Breddy2000,
Was your attorney from your company very much expert or you hired top rated attorney like Murthy or someother same category lawyer?
I am in same disstress as you were, please respond ASAP, becaue I am not getting the feel from my company lawyer, so thinking of not to take a chance and go for high-end attorney.
Thanks In advance

Watzgc,
Did your employer get a new LCA for the CA project when you changed projects? ... just one more thing to check before you send in the RFE response with new contract.

Hmm...let me guess. Well, I had same issues with my current lawyer who is a official corporate attorney for immigration matters with my employer. Good part is, I didn't have to pay money to him but bad part is he is mostly not-responsive, arrogant, treated us like slaves, rude and what not. He doesn't answer anything about AC21 and we have to go thru' HR if we have any questions. Many a times, employees are completely unaware what is going on with their immigration papers. I did not receive my LC or copy of I-140. Guess this differs from person to person and company to company.
well, now since I have decided to enjoy freedom using AC21, I would like a good lawyer to represent my case; whom I should be able to ask questions.

I am sorry to hear ur situation, but can you tell us more? Like why should someone get a RFE for h1b extension??? I got my h1b extension last year for 3 years without any hasstles and also got stamping, offcourse I provided all tax documents and paystubs (latest) for the H1b extension.
Just trying to understand if this is a pattern now.

Below is data of PD from last four years for EB2-I - only for Jun, Jul & Aug.
Except July Fiasco , I don't see dates ever moving forward in July VB; but they do move in August VB.
Has anything changed in spillover laws in last 1 year - which will explain this no movement in July but in August?
Jun 06 : 01JAN03 | July 06 : 01JAN03 | August 06 : U ---> No change in July. Aug backward
Jun 07 : 01APR04 | July 07 : C | August 07 : U ---> July Fiasco
Jun 08 : 01APR04 | July 08 : 01APR04 | August 08 : 01JUN06 ---> No change in July. Aug forward
Jun 09 : 01JAN00 | July 09 : 01JAN00 | August 09 : 01OCT03 ---> No change in July. Aug forward
Jun 10 : 01FEB05 | July 10 : ?????? | August 10 : ???? ---> Do your really expect forward movement in July?
Thanks.

Glad to see there is some hope in future for EB3 I.
But we shouldn't rest on these hopes. If we can get at-least couple of items on IV agenda (recapture , STEM) passed we should all be greened for sure.
Heres hoping for the best.

However this smacks of unfairness as well. See this comment on Greg Siskind's blog (http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/2007/07/service-centers.html#comments) in response to the news about TSC holding the applications while NSC's been retirning them and some July 02 packages have been returned as well.
Greg,
Where did you get this news? If they partially returned some cases received on July 02, it is very very very unfair for those got returned. They were the first getting in the line and now they have to wait at the end of the line??? If USCIS is going to treat the returned cases that way, they will face more lawsuits to come. If they are to hold later on cases, they have have have to allow the returned cases to be sent back and put in front of the line, with delivery notice as the proof of getting sent back.
This is very annoying notice indeed.

if you have EAD and 140 is approved (And 180 passed since 485filed), then why are you worried about H1 status ?
am I missing something here ..I let my H1 expire and am using EAD now.
I had another question - if one has EAD and 140 is approved (and 180 days passed and a person does not hav H1) - then how long can that person stay unemployed ? please reply if you know ..Thanks !!
I read in some other thread. I believe that you can be unemployed till you get I-485 approval. If I-485 is not yet approved, then you become out of status and in the case of no fall back upon, one needs to leave the country within 180 days.
