MET3259- Thanks for the Post. It was great.
Could you address my quiestion regarding "low" wages. How "low" are they and what does 'low" mean in Canada, relative to cost of living and especially real estate prices. Can you afford to buy a decent house or apartments in average salary?
Thanks
Excellent question. Wages are lower (with a few exceptions like teachers) than in the US, but we are not talking about "poor house" wages. I made $70K Cdn (remember, a dollar is still a dollar at home - so don't convert to US$) and made $77K US my first year in the US. The job though went from a process engineer, to a plant manager of a small plant.
I have tried to talk to my friends in Canada about this (and job opportunity) and figure it out - how come I can make more in the US and have more carrier opportunities. I really do not know the exact answer, but... (let me try anyway):
It is easy to "shine" in the US - again, the average (and by no means not all) person here is less educated and has less drive/ability than at home -- thus more competition (relatively speaking) than in the US.
Economies of scale in the US present more opportunity.
I did notice, that in the US, you can be a grade 8 drop out and still make a lot of money if you are willing to work (and have at least a little luck - re: the song "sun screen"). That very rarely(if ever) happens back home.
Along this line of thinking, it is easier to sell a "widget" in the US as the average consumer is not that bright. Canadians are at least a little more hesitant/intelligent/cautious with purchases. The US have more disposible imcome than Canadians (which should tell you a lot right there).
Another difference is the banks in Canada will tell you how much you can spend. In the US, they just keep giving morgates, car loans, credit cards to anyone (even my 6 year old son got a peapproved application for a credit card). In Canada - the bank will say - "you can not afford that" - we do not have people morgated to the hilt, with a SUV (or 2) in the driveway ready for bankrupcy if they loose their job.
Conclusion - you can afford a house and renting in Canada (unlike the US) is actually cheaper. Wages can be and most liekly are lower, but - no ghettos, no bankrupcy due to illnesss, safer streets (although it is getting worse).
Hope that helps.

If this turns out true, that will be great !!!
One minor side effect is that India EB dates might further retrogress because still there a lot of folks with PD 2001,2002 etc pending namecheck clearance.
I thought the same but they need to get out of the queue before you and I can get our turn :) .. Good for them finally ...
In the longer run I guess it makes predicitions easy :)

This situation is really bad. There are so many people who missed the deadline as their labor was stuck in BEC. USCIS should at least allow a one-time chance (like July 2nd) for such people to file 485. I was lucky to clear the labor stage earlier this year.

Tired of waiting ( PD: August 2001) I finally wrote to both my local congressman and Senator today. My senator is on senate Immigration commitee so lets see what happens. Hopefully something will move.
If this doesnt help I will try Ombudsman next after couple of months. The Ombudsman form has a question of if you have tried through Congressman etc first so we can try and see that.
Guys its so funny when you see ppl with PD of 2003 and 2005 complaining and bitching. Here we have waited 7 + yrs our PD's are current and we are doing OK. Wait sure brings maturity :)
can you send me a copy of what you wrote so i can also do the same!

My spouse and I are on L1/L2 visa.
In 2002 there was a law change and the L2 visa holders got the right for EAD, valid until expiry date of the current L1/L2 visa. Renewal of the EAD was relatively easy when the new L1/L2 visa was issued. The tricky thing is that after expiration of the L visa, while waiting for LC approval we can get only 1 year H1 extensions. This means that during the period between L1/L2 visa and submitting of I-485 the EAD will be cancelled.
Following the common sence, the L2 visa holder should still be able to get EAD for the period between L and I-485. We will find it out in half a year time when our last L visa expires. But I would not bet on it...
So, my hint is - why not push for a similar approach being applied for immigrants waiting for LC approvals (after 365 days), for I-140, I-485 etc. It makes sence since the enormous delay in GC process was caused by the US bureaucracy and the poor idiots like us deserve some relieve :-)

isnt a visa number assigned when they apply for 485?
good point in item 4. When i talk to people from other countries about visa issues and IV they just look at the processing dates for 485 and think that GC will be approved in 6 months.
I wish that were the case. Unfortunately visa number is allotted only after EVERYTHING else is done and that is why we have to endure additional suffering i.e. even if your case is ready for approval it will remain pending because visa number is unavailable.

http://www.nafsa.org/regulatory_information.sec/regulatory_document_library.dlib/employment-based_immigration/final_rule_on_labor_certification
Starting July 16th, 2007, labor certification has a 60 day validity period. Meaning, a I-140 petition needs to be filed within 60 days from labor approval date....If immigrant visa numbers are unavailable (dates retrogressed), you wont be able to file your I-140/I-485 concurrently but you can file your I-140 petition irrespective of your priority date as long as you have a labor approved. You dont have to apply for your labor again and again....Its just that, once you get your I-140 approved, you will have to wait for dates to become current to file I-485...

I filed I-140/1-485 concurrently July 4th. Got my EAD and AP. I-140/1-485 still pending. Is it true that you get FP notice only when your I-140 is approved?
I know lot of people who got FP notices for concurrently filed I-485

Thanks Arihant. Yes it is strange and I am trying to find their ulterior motive behind this. All the while I thought my employer is not one of the typical desi employers (read blood sucking) we hear about in this forum. Hope I am right.
By the way, my question was related to AC21 (after 180 days of filing 485). If I quit my current employer and join another company, how would I let USCIS know to forward all their RFEs to my new employer/lawyer and not to the old one. Am asking this because I heard the I-9 form we fill while changing employment is only for the employer and he doesn't forward it to anybody. Does my query make any sense at all or am I just blabbering BS :o
But, I will try to answer based on what I think you are asking.
If you just want to apply for EAD/AP for yourself on your own, then that is fine. You will get all communications relating to your EAD/AP application directly to you.
For the applications being filed by the lawyer, one G-28 form is filed with each application. So, you would have one for your 485, your wife's 485, your wife's EAD and your wife's AP. There will be no G-28 for your EAD/AP as you would not have filed it through your lawyer. There will be bno G-28 for your EAD and AP as you are filing yourself.
BTW, it is strange that they will do your wife's EAD/AP and not yours!

This is what you can do - Both in Mumbai and in Delhi, you have USCIS approved doctors who help people going through CP. In other words those who choose to go through emp based CP or family based Green Card which US embassy issues, go through Indian hospitals in Mumbai and Delhi. I think Gangaram in Mumbai has this facility. Ask your wife to get it done from there. Do not wait till the last moment, as someone pointed out, a slight delay in flight could............
Note that for employment based adjustment of status cases, the medicals ABSOLUTELY have to be done in the US by a USCIS approved civil surgeon. One can get the immunizations done in their home country, however the exam has to be done in the US.

I think, there is no harm in calling the cops and let them know what has happened to be on safer side. Especially when you provide them your address, Did you by any chance?
Let them investigate it and find out what is going on. If you want, you can also file a complaint with FTC for phone fraud.
