Thanks for responding to my post.
The Forum post on the link says that its not necessary to have the same or similar job description when working on EAD. What will happen when I ask for EAD renewal?
Also, what will happen when my Priority date becomes current? Will I be able to get a GC thru this I-485 since I have left the employer who filed my GC?

Nobody is rubbing salt out here. It is all about perception. Dont blame the individual for that.
If you cannot tolerate reading such posts, please do not read those. The title was VERY SPECIFIC about the content.
Its not a problem dude...
You can either carry it with you or make a color photocopy (like how we used to do with our indian license) or just shove it up ur A$S....
Dude are you trying to rub salt????

Legalese was never my strong point. Which part says that EB-1 unused must go to EB-2 of same category, and then to EB-3?
None. USCIS has discretion on it and it has choses that to be the case.

Without any changes to the current system, How many of us will be in a similar position in 3 yrs time?
I am only asking this question since we all know how many of us are in the queue with PDs in 2001-2004 range. If 2800 per country EB category get out of this queue then, absent relief, this could easily be us in 3 yrs.

Lets figure out the next course of Action for IV in the best interests of its members. Let's itemize each one of them and propose possible solutions. This thread is not for question / answers about individual situations but broad GC issues to be resolved by Govt/Congress/USCIS/DHS/DOL by way of proposing bills/acts/resolutions/amendments. IV must have done this but I didn't see an easy way of getting it.
First we could categorize them into different buckets such as that IV did for the forums. Just made up some to give an example. Some gurus on IV can suggest a better categorizing
Ex:
1) Labor
a) Allow one to get promoted instead fixing to of a fixed job position in the labor advt.
2) I-140
a) Allow One to file for two I-140's
b) Have freedom to change employer when I-140 is pending
3) I-485
a) Allow one to get married while I-485 is pending or after approval or provide some status to the spouse for whose I-485 is approved
b) Have the flexibility of filing multiple 485's so that one can choose the best one at end of the approval stage
4) Finger Printing
a) ...
b) ...
5) Backlog
a) Resolve backlogs from 1999.. so and so..
OR in the following format
1) Labor
a) Issue : One cannot change job position while a labor is approved
Soln: Allow one to get promoted instead fixing to a fixed job position in the labor advt. Say so and so provision/act/amendment (Sect 2.3.1 blah blah has to be changed to resolve this issue.
2) I-140
a) Issue: More RFE's for I-140 change in job profiles
Soln: As the time passes and technologies changes the job profiles may change and it is not wise to look for word to word match in the job descriptions. Say so and so provision/act/amendment (Sect 5.3.2 blah blah has to be changed to resolve this issue.
b) Have freedom to change employer when I-140 is pending
Soln: The time taking for getting the PD is too long and so EAD has to be issued at the I-140 stage itself. Provision/act/amendment (Sect 2.3.4 blah blah has to be changed to resolve this issue.
3) I-485
a) Issue: One cannot get married and bring the spouse while I-485 is pending
Soln : As most of the GC aspirants are in their marriage age and this hampers prospect of getting married when I-485 is pending. Allow one to get married while I-485 is pending or after approval or provide some status to the spouse for whose I-485 is approved. Section 6..7..8 blah blah has to be modified to accomodate this
b) Have the flexibility of filing multiple 485's so that one can choose the best one at end of the approval stage
Soln: Give the freedom for some one to file multiple 485's but allow to choose one. Modify section 554.34.3.34 blah
4) Finger Printing
a) blah blah..
b) blah blah
5) Backlog
a) Resolve backlogs from 1999.. so and so..
I just cooked up some above but the actual one's may be different
I am sure the IV Core must have these itemized already. Some one in the core team may take a lead on this and formalize the process. This is what probably the way we try resolving problems rather than balabbering issues among ourselves in the postings amongst us.
There are lot many individual stories on different threads, and there is some thing common out of all these postings and that common issue should be the action item to be taken up by IV.
Guys put in your thoughts and come up with better approach or improve up one of the above approaches. But do something before every looses the tempo.
If this can be made as a sticky and the first post can be updated with each new issue that itself takes us what we need to do and how we are trying to tackle and what are the time lines.
Hope this helps

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.
Unfortunately there is no direct way to convert. You may try to find new job with EB2 requirement or try in your company itself if the they have any job opening different from your current job (requirement). You need to start from the PERM and use the PD. Thats the only way. I am not sure if you can do this as your's is substitude.

Since you asked what I am exactly doing here:
I am not here to discuss illegal immigration. I am here to discuss how we can put acceptable proposals out there so we can all get out of this mess, or at least get out of here a little faster !
Folks, allow me to tell you that we cannot succeed in this fight if our strategy remains wrong. By no means we shall find ourselves supporting what is against public opinion in our host country, which is now America. You guys from time to time, now what is called senior members from IV, pst phrases which may be PERCEIVED as an attempt to disguise the status of illegal aliens movement. Undocumented immigration simply doesn't exist. There are numerous ways one can find oneself without documents. I outlined an example before. "Immigrant" is not the correct designation if you never immigrated here. Start by showing our alignment with this country by using the correct term. We may be better accepted that way. By the way, wake up, is in major part thanks to the illegal aliens that many of us are stuck.
Tomorrow you can go to India as an immigrant. The day that you find yourself pushing for more immigration than Indians want, it is the day you will not be welcome in that lovely country anymore. Italy is a sweet country, but people are fed up with immigration there. How about France ? America is next. The lack of sympathy for immigration is in the air. Which are our chances to fight against it just because we conceal our proposals ? Minimal.
Sure. Do you want another one ?

Main Entry: im�mi�grant
Pronunciation: 'i-m&-gr&nt
Function: noun
: one that immigrates : as a : a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence b : a plant or animal that becomes established in an area where it was previously unknown
I was amused by..."Undocumented is someone who had documents, but lost them"...Bravo...!!

Thanks KevinKris for sharing the info.
Your documents represents the I-140 info.
I was trying to check what is the priority date attached to I485 application. Seems there is no such info. attached to pending I-485 application.
Also, just now I checked my 485 receipt. The PD column in my I-484 receipt is blank. Is this common for every one? Just curious?

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.

I was just thinking, the wastage of visa numbers we see, is that basically due to the per country quota. The rule that no country can have more than X% of GC's in a year, would mean that even though there are visa's available, they cannot be alloted due to that per country limit.
Anyway the smaller number of application is good news.
-AD
thats not true...ac21 is under suspension because eb3 row is retrogressed...once its not, the ac21 trickle down of visa numbers applies.

Folks i got a LUD on my AP 7 days back and again LUD 5 days back. But the status didn't change nor i get any letter of so far.
Does this means i'm on my way to a RFE :) If they send RFE does that gets reflected on the Online Status ??
Thanks much!
I had the exact same RFE. I'm on H1 since 1998, and you can imagine how many times I have left and entered USA. I have about 8 H1B extensions. Here's what I sent...
1). Cover Letter stating list of document to show evidence of law ful status in US.
2). I-94 card issued by CBP at the last port of entry.
3). ALL the H1B extension notices issued by USCIS. Its important that there are no gaps in dates on the extension/change of status notices.
4). passport copy containing all US visas and entry and exit stamps.
5). A document explaining the entry and exit dates matching the stamps in the passport.
6). Few pay stubs from the current H1B/green card employer that you are currently working.
7). Few W-2s for last few years.
Usually the I-94 that is on the extension of stay issued by USCIS is the same number thats issued by CBP at the Port of Entry. So, USCIS should be able to match the entry and exit information and extension of stay notices
I'm sure they know that one surrenders the white I-94 card when they leave US.

Gurus,
Here is my situation:
I-140 approved - PD: May '06
I-485 filed - July 30 '07 (India)
EAD cards - Received
APs - Received
Due to a slowdown in their business, my employer is laying me off in Dec '07. I'm still short of 1 month to complete my 180 days of I-485 filling. However, they said they will not withdraw my I-140 and, to help me, will in fact keep me on their payroll until Jan '08, with my Jan '08 salary as my severance and my official status as on "paid leave". So far, so good.
I also have a job offer, and my new employer wants me to join them in Dec '07, on EAD. My question is: Can I be on officially on the payroll of two companies simultaneously on H-1B and/or EAD? If yes, do I need to inform the USCIS of my status (new employer; AC21)? My other option is to say No to the new (attractive) job offer (or to try to convince them to wait until Feb '08, which they'll likely not agree to), and and take up another job in Feb '08, on EAD / H-1B transfer, using AC21. Please advise whether I'm fine with using the first option!!
Use EAD and you can be on both company's payroll and safe..relax, don't worry much..I-485 is filed and company is willing to help for 180 days.

Hi,
I have the same problem in Rutgers, New Jersey. I spoke to someone at the governor's office. Apparently, this residency definition is a federal law. States like CA had to pass legislation in the state to override the federal law. So if one want this to change, then there is to be an amendment. The schools are following the law.
Thanks
