I guess EB3 will finally cross 2001 barrier in the next bulletin.
For Eb2, it will be like the new EB3. Just too many cases were filed in EB2 after 2005.
Good luck to everyone.:)

Not an amended H1. It is an H1B extension for 3 years after I140.
The question is if you have this approval in your hand (whose start date is after your current visa validity) and you return to the country within your visa validity, will the official have I-94 valid till the end of the new approval or till the date your current visa is valid?
According to "Last Action" Rule of USCIS, there is a possibility that your H1B extention approval becomes invalid because the POE gave validity till your visa end.
Seems all so screwed up. But red-tape rules are never white and black.

What a crack-head - I didn't know H1Bs were 5-year visas - I guess I've overstayed my welcome...
And to say that everyone stays here is ludicrous - Half the people that started with me on my project have gone back to India for better positions with better pay and the rest have gone on to green cards and some even citizenship. He thinks that everyone stays here after 5 years (???) and then works illegally - like that's possible - idiot!
He thinks a company hiring skilled workers like computer analysts is going to let you stay on past 6 years if you haven’t filed for your green card and jeopardize their reputation and legal standings? They would just hire new H1B workers and kick you to the curb – at which point you would have to work under the table flipping burgers – but I guess the ignorant freak thinks that’s better than going back home and getting a project managerial position, because all other Countries are third world and live in mud huts?

I have not been laid off and I don't have problems finding jobs; in fact my company has asked me to search for one more person with a background similar to mine. However I have been limited by the requirements of AC21. I was toying with the idea of leaving the country; but cannot sell my primary residence and might have problems obtaining a visitor visa for re-entry (to close on the house). I was seriously considering investing in some more real estate; but am holding back due to the random AC21 denials. I want to start my own business since I finally got my EAD this year - but with all the uncertainity of AC21 case approvals, I am not willing to put personal resources into a business in this country. Currently I am working on starting a free workshop for investment in my community - which will stop if my I-485 is denied in case my former employer revokes my I-140 (and yes; I did send in the letters for AC21). I have registered my dog with therapy international and volunteer my time for various causes (cabin repair, trail maintenance, public education) and donate regularly to the fire and police - all of these will take a hit if I have to leave.
I wonder what the reporter will conclude if he/she talks to immigrants who have lost jobs and have trouble finding new projects........
Anyway, let me know if I can be of any help.
Pls email your contact information.
No anonymous members please. I got a couple of private messages willing to be interviewed but asking to be anonymous.
IV has been always on the forefront of this struggle for legal immigrants. We have also openly walked on the streets for this cause. We are well educated and not illegal. So what is the fear? Only illegals live in the shadows. I cannot understand why some people want to stay anonymous.
I cannot also understand why only a couple of people responded till now. There used to be so many threads with ideas on housing, layoffs and economy. I remember a thread where someone asked IV's plans and said that we should talk to the media. We need everyone when there is an opportunity in the national media to present our case.

Did you join them on H1B and then move to EAD? Did you change your I-9 form when you did that? If you didn't, as far as they are concerned, you might still be on H1B and so they might feel a need to inform the USCIS. If not, well, there really is nothing in the rule book that says they have to inform the USCIS that an EAD holder left employment.

I asked this same Q on the last conf call with Susan Henner and she said that they will not do it. As her H1 application will have an indication that her H4 is pending, they will mostly issue an RFE to prove her H4 status thru Sep 30th or wait for the H4 to be approved before aproving H1. You should be approved soon. last month processing times said they were doing dec 21st right?

The new rule establishes that a reduced course load is only acceptable to maintain F-1 status if it is subject to prior approval by the school and includes.....
Reduced Course Load - 214.2(f)(6)(iii)
The new rule establishes that a reduced course load is only acceptable to maintain F-1 status if it is subject to prior approval by the school and includes at least six semester or quarter hours, or half the clock hours required for a full course of study. A reduced course load for less than half time is only acceptable for defined medical reasons (214.2(f)(6)(iii)(B)) or for the final term of study if the school determines that fewer courses are needed to complete the course of study (214.2(f)(6)(iii)(C)).

I am a little concerned with the timing of these developments. I am in the same boat as everyone getting ready to file 485. But I am equally worried about this. These messages are not even getting enough attention and getting pushed down the active list.
They might pull the Rug off from under our feet while we are clamoring about various 485 application issues. Everyone should keep an eye out for it.

I made a one time contribution myself but I have a feeling that IV is going away from the goal of increasing EB visas and just focusing on the 485 filing.Many people that have contributed earlier feel that by prioritizing the 485 filing over increase of EB visas, IV has gone away from atleast some of stakeholders .The stakeholders were promised initially that increase of EB visas would be a top priority or atleast on a even keel with any other objectives, but now we are in phased approach.I have talked to lot of people and the feeling is same.

Hi,
Does anybody know of and have used any good lawyer for AC21 related matters from bay area in CA?
I reside in bay area and would like to consult a local lawyer regarding the "same or similar" nature of the new job that I wish to take using AC21.
The reason for requiring him to be local is to use his services, again if needed, during adjudication.
I appreciate any help in this matter.
I was also planning to phone consult Murthy.com lawyers and would like to know of any experiences.
Thanks

According to what I have read - porting of PD can be done at 2 stages
1. At the time the second I-140 is applied or,
2. When one applies for the I-485.
So you should be fine going by #2. Not an attorney, just like you all - a GC aspirant commenting on his research.
My question is the same that you raised earlier - the Memo states that the PD has to be current when interfiling. But in the case of pd_recapturing, his PD is May 04 which is not current - EB2 for India is Apr 04 (my assumption being that pd_recapturing is from India.)
My case is exactly as pd_recapturing, waiting for the approval of my second I-140 to see if the date got ported or not (we had requested during filing of second I-140). After the approval, I was thinking of waiting for my PD to be current before filing.
pd_recapturing - we'll be following your lead to see how your case turns out.
Thanks.

It could take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. For me - it was around 2.5 weeks from the time the status changed to "we received your response....". Plus with the Thanksgiving break - it might take a bit longer. The best thing to do here is just not to worry about it and just wait...since its no longer in your hands.
Good luck...

One of my colleagues got audit for two consecutive years and he received his green card last month.
I can back that one up. We received audit August 13 for 2005. Had to prove we are married & kids live with us. When called and spoke to officer she said it was an "INS flag"! Honest to God that is what she said. She then asked if we had applied in the last couple of months for 485's??? She knew all about the USCIS system and said one way of telling is if you file jointly at the same address each year then why would IRS be asking for proof of marriage and kids living there etc. She was great and confirmed they had received all paperwork. Had to resend due to liquid being spilled on copies.... Even H&R Block said it was INS based.
Then we get 4 out of 5 EAD's approved, but spouse gets RFE and it is proof of name change please resubmit marriage certificate!
Cheers,
LRIndy

Hello,
So yesterday (Saturday) was another surprize, a pleasant one again! I got a call from the same IO who told me that he got all the documents that I had sent and has cleared my case for approval, but now my fingerprints have expired.
He asked if I could come right away to his office and he could give me an instant fingerprinting appointment in the nearby INS office. When I told him that I'm currently out of country on business trip and won't be back in US till April, he said he will send me an appointment near April 15th.
I thanked him for his follow-up and he said he was just doing his job. I know this might be an exception than a rule, but just wanted to acknowledge this particular IO and hope there are more like him.
Just checking....If you are out of country, How could the IO know you number if you are on business trip? :confused:
