I had sent an email to rags months before about this friend. He decided to become an expat and move to India while his GC still languishes in the labor stage. He is an engineering manager who works for one of the big oil service companies (Think of word association with the Vice President). He would have been invaluable to this country as the country tries to become more self-reliant in the energy sector. Instead, he now lives in India and services oil wells in Russia. How is that for loss of competitiveness (loss of his service as well as his tax money to other countries)!

Exactly....I don't say this a trick by USCIS to divert our attention but that will definitely be the result. Everyone here (except with the older priority dates) will face retrogression very soon. Please try to understand this folks.
Everyone will file for 485 and will get stuck in the backlog, before you know if, it will be Oct-08 and then they will scrap the old system and make everybody file under the point system. Which of course would be a nightmare as the USCIS or one of its derivatives would not be able to cope with the flood of application. At the end of the day all of us would be 1000s of dollar down and would still be posting here complaining about the process.
Bottom line is, with a limit of 20 amendments, one can be assured there won't be one looking out for us out on the fringes.

[QUOTE=beppenyc]The problem in French is different. They bring the immigrants from Africa and North Africa to work to build the subway, La Defense (ask yourfriends),Eurostar ect ect. French has a controll of the number of immigrants, is not so difficult. The problem is that they put the immigrants living in the ghetto (Banlieu) and to not give any hope of future. When all the big project were done, they forced to sent the immigrants home, but without success. If you are really interest to see what is the reality in France, get this movie made in 1997, LA HAINE....
Yes, this is not a linear equation that illegals take American jobs and Amecans do not take menial jobs because of lower pay. If Americans were ever to take such jobs, and pays were higher, it would add to inflation, as beppenyc correctly points out. You have to be able to think strategically to understand this.
Now this issue about fairness for the legal immigrants. Normal wait time for this process is 5 to 6 years, if you are lucky. Which means that lives of such people are on "hold." They can't be promoted, accept salary increases. This is "tacit" exploitation. 5 to 6 years is a long time in US where things are more dynamic. How unfair. Also, per the law any social security they contribute will never be credited back to them because they have to work for atleast 10 years, the work visa duration is six year. Skilled workers make reasonable salaries so this is a huge amount of money which thay might never see.
Perceptions maybe far removed from reality. One of them is that immigrants will continue to bear injustice in US while globalization takes its toll on US competitiveness because of populist measures, that will hurt it in the long run.

As understand the process
1) First one should change the employer with new job.
2) Apply for new Labor (with EB2 requirements) -- PERM 3 months.
3) Apply for new I-140 (use old I-485) -- PREMIUM 1 month.
4) No need to apply for NEW I-485.
Guys, this is the best option for EB3, use it.. with in 4 months you are current... let us port to EB2...no need to wait this VISA bulletin saga.
If my EB3 140 is pending and if when I apply for EB2 140, I dont have the approval, can the interfile be done at the later date?
I am seriously considering porting my date. Any idea how much approx it would cost for the PERM + 140 process (lawyer and USCIS fee)?

Why was your I140 denied after it was approved? Provide more details
What did your denial letter for I140 and I485 say?
My I-140 was never approved..
there was a first RFE for my exp letters,
and then there was an enquiry against Employer
and then RFE for A2P
and after answering A@P it is denied.
while it was pending, during July07 fiasco we applied for I-485.

but the point is how much of micromanagement can u do on a "free" forum!
anyway..
HateIV was an extreme case..
What happens to an employee at any company who has done something positive but has been caught abusing his colleagues a few times. He gets warned by HR first and then gets fired right.
We have lot of things to focus on to get relief for our community and there is no reason to tolerate this behaviour towards fellow members.

Yep, few states consider long time residents as out-of-state /international students if they are in any other status than that of GC/Citizen. I live in MN and Univ. of Minnesota considers me as international student though I have lived in this state for more than 2 years and have been in this country for 10 years.

I have applied for Advanced parole at the end of July 2007. My H1B visa is expired, but my H1B petition is still valid. Should I just take the risk of traveling and try to get H1B visa renewed to re-enter ?
OR should I just keep waiting for Advanced Parole to be approved ? I can wait until end of November 2007. But I am not sure whether I should plan to travel in Dec 2007 or not. I dont know how long its going to take to get the approved AP.
Any thoughts ?? Do any of the July filers who have filed for AP know what time frame should we expect for approval of I-131 (AP) ?
:confused:
Thanks in advance

Hi gurus-
Please let me know Can we use EAD with out I140 Approval.
Thanks
Aj
Yes, you can. If it is with the same employer, you are OK., else there can be problems such as below.
if 180 days have passed since your 485 RD and and if you plan to use it with a different employer then any RFE raised for your 140 will not be answered by your old employer and your 140 will be denied.
if 180 days have not passed, your employer will revoke the 140 and you are in the limbo.
The best course is to wait 180 days from 485 RD and have an approved 140 before venturing out.

If you are not married before GC, you are in a crappy situation. If you marry you will have to deal with lots of mental misery, distance, stress etc. Not worth the pain. You can look at this option - after GC, you are allowed to stay outside the country for a max of 1 year without a permit and 2 years with a permit, without affecting your GC status. The flip side is your citizenship is delayed and you are similarly delayed in sponsoring your spouse. Also, it is not a good idea to stay out more than 6 months at a stretch in any calender year so that your citizenship is not affected. Maybe it would be a good idea to join lobbying efforts to allow sponsorship of immidiate family of GC holders. Lots of people are in this situation. Without a GC your professional life is screwed and with a GC your family life. Good Luck.

No offense taken. I would be bemused too, if I didn't understand the process.
I don't think many people understand that visa allocations for documentarily-qualified applications are actually made at the time a bulletin is released.
And even otherwise, if they worked on July 1st, my PD WAS CURRENT on July 1st, and a visa may have been allotted on July 1st.

Not really, broadly speaking lack of information can never be a benefit to consumer. (Read: hidden clauses in agreements). It might be that they have been doing that and we don't know. You will ONLY know if you apply for another H1B transfer or any other application say I-140/I-485 with new employer and then USCIS MIGHT tell you that your I-140 is revoked on MM/DD/YYYY and you are no longer in valid H1B status since then. That would be too late and it is not retroactive. Remember that onus is on you to maintain valid H1B status all the time during the period of H1B. Once again I am not saying what I mention above is the correct interpretation of law, but in the absence of any clarify it can be one of the implication.
well...The history is that USCIS did release the proposed regulation dealing with all these back in 2002 if I remember correctly..Then there was a comment period...They got so many comments...that after that they did not even bother to publish the regulations in the federal register...That was the last heard of it....Now the only time when the issue of these regulations can possibliy come up is when there is a leadership change in USCIS...Any our fate would depend on who is in control of USCIS at that particular instance...
But this sword would fall some day..I donot know when..I donot know if it would fall on us....or we would just steer clear....The thing is that there is a lot of resistance to changes in status quo both inside USCIS and AILA...
Well AILA would want the status quo to continue....Them lawyers are making money of us anyway.....
I am in US last 7 years...The career is stagnant..No sign of GC anywhere....I am very despondent...But then what else is new ???

This is not a flaming forum. There is no need to take an advise given to a person personally and then call other people names and take a high pedestal. If you are in a position to take an advise take it or leave it.
Now to your observations and my responses.
1. I am a full time employee too with a fortune 500 company working for the past 6 years with the same company since I got laid off first after working for another American company for 3 years. So there goes your argument for working with a desi company.
2. Never been on bench due to the above reason
3. you probably were in your high school or early college when I started my programming career back in 93 and now work as an Enterprise architect. So just chill out and don't try to categorize people based on your limited understanding. Don't even attempt to talk about my skills and what I know and don't.
4. You just equated one simple post of helping a fellow person by advising him to be here for some more time to get a job to 'faking my entire career and labeled me as a fake'. Shows how mature you are
5. Its good that not a single line in your resume if fake.. then you should not be offended at all by my statement.
6. Oh BTW.. I do happen to have 2 Master Degrees from US of A and more than amply qualified to apply in EB2 category but due to the HR policies of the company could only apply in EB3.
Now cool down and take your frustration elsewhere..your time will come..
cheers

What makes you think that everybody fakes theirs resumes? You are talking like its just a matter of fact that faking resume is the only way people get jobs (and what is this project business????). I now know that YOU got your job by faking your skills. And shame on you for doing that!
You conveniently missed out the 4th reason in your list
The employers filed for H-1Bs kowing very well they did not have a job to give to the candidate. The immigrants would come to the US, get "trained" to lie their way into a job, pratice more lying, fake reumes (like you have), then get into a project, get fired in 1 month or 2, go on bench, unpaind, find another project by practising more lying, and so on.
My friend, I take my statement back when I included you in the genuine candidate group. You are no better than the OP. You fakers deserve to end up in prison!
To answer your original question: not a single line on my resume is fake. And I'm not working on "projects". I have a full-time job and I'm with the same employer for the past 4 years!!!!!!!!!
Get out of your desi consultancy world for a change and see how the world outside of your little fakers club works. Not everybody is lying their way into "projects".

I like ur idea, can you design this or get someone to do this. It still has to have the same basic principle. we all have ideas we need someone to actually do this since we are mostly IT folks with programming skills can we get a volunteer or a group of volunteer who can do this?
I can work on this over a weekend. However, the contribution information is known only to the core group. So someone in the core group will have to enter contribution info into the database and set up the procedure call to return only the member level and not the contribution amount to shield info.

I would not mind getting EAD few weeks late and prefered to have reciept notice recieved instead. I filed Jul 2nd at TSC and no news yet about Reciept, CC, EAD, AP. Most July 2 filer at NSC got their reciepts 2 weeks ago.
There may be 1% chance of 485 being rejected and that is pretty scary. Easly NSC filers can atleast put their mind at rest for 485 acceptance.
I agree with you . peace of mind is better than getting EAD 2 weeks early
