Hi,
I may know the answer, but I thought i would check.
Below is my situation:
1) I-140 approved in Jan 2008
2) I-485 pending since July 2007
3) I have a 2 year EAD
Now, if I switch my job and the new employer is not ready to transfer my H1-B, can I use my EAD to work(provided my I-140 is not revoked by the previous employer)
Also, any chance that I could keep my GC application alive? what will happen when my Priority date becomes current.
Thanks in advance.

Dear Pappu and Core Members,
I appreciate all your efforts and have made my own contributions to support what IV does. Lately due to the political standstill in the House, we have not seen much movement on the immigration issue. At the same time it is important to have some actions illustrated in the open forum to attract the attention of new members and existing members who continue to visit this website. I am of the opinion that unless the 'interest level' of people is maintained in coming to this website, understanding the action items and following them, people will lose interest in visiting this website.
Regards
Jimi

I was wondering how L1 can be allowed instate tuition while H1-B's have to pay out of state according to the Arizona list. What exactly is the fundamental difference between the 2 which results in L1's fulfilling the requirements?
GCard Dream - You should ask the question - what part of the statute does L1 fulfil that H1B does not -
I'm sure you can give these guy's a run for their money. One thing - if you pursue it long and hard enough I think there is a chance that you can get instate tuition. The only area I was concerned about was the domicile part but if L1's can prove domicile so can H1-B's.
I already fought this for three good years! I don't know how they allow L1 to enjoy in-state tuituion and not H1B. I provided links to USCIS website to ASU to prove that L1 and H1 are similar non-immigrant visa. I gave up after they could not provide any reasonable response.

With the new rule on FBI name checks, a potential 47K with current PDs could get their GS's soon. I wonder how much of a shift we will see in the PD's from now, after the 47K is not taken into account. I would predict a minimum of atleast a year jump, or am I being optimistic. :confused:
Some one pointed out in another thread, that the USCIS FAQ mentioned that only a 'subset' of the potential 47k cases have namecheck pending for more than 180 days. So may be not all of the 47k cases (even those with current PDs) may be eligible to qualify under 180 day FBI namecheck auto approval rule. Thus not all 47k cases will be approved by the mid March deadline that USCIS mentioned.

It i svery hard to make predictions because of the possible distortion in the trend due to the new NC>180 day rule.
If you know Process Control, we need to wait for it to settle down for at least 2 more months (by June) before the trend starts to normalize.

I have to agree with AngelFire here. There is a clear distinction between the EB2 and EB3 eligibility requirements. And who are we kidding, if your employer or attorney were willing to file an EB2 petition for you, would you be the "One category for all, Joe" that you are now, and demand that your employer file in EB-3 instead? Of course not.
I'll admit it, I probably would have felt the same way if I was EB3. Being human sometimes makes us want others to not get what we don't have.
I am amazed that there supposedly are people working at gas stations with valid EB2 petitions? And a "LOT" of them, too. I highly doubt that.
There is a process and system in place to ensure the validity/genuine-ness of each application. If phony applications slip through that process, the process needs to be fixed and more checks established. I don't see how scrapping EB2 can fix that.
I'll give you an example. I know someone that has an EB1 (NIW or EA, one of these two) petition in process. To the best of my judgement, I don't feel that this person qualifies (at all) to be an EB1 Green card recipient. And this person getting their green card before mine comes along, will cause some discomfort to me. But I can't let that bother me too much. There is a system in place to ensure that these type of things don't happen, and I would like that system to improve so that the people who truly deserve EB1 Green cards continue to have that option.
I also know someone else that used the labor substitution option to get their green card within a year - start to finish. But this person was a genuine candidate for labor substitution. He had the necessary academic qualifications and work experience prior to the date of the LC, and the job was a valid one as well. He was a true example of what the labor substitution process was introduced for. Even if a large percentage of labor sub cases weren't as strong as his, I find it hard to hate everyone that benefitted from it, such as this person. It would be just wrong to say that this person violated any rules, because he didn't. Yes, I wish I qualified for some of these fast track options, but I don't, and I can live with that.
Thanks,

A 700billion$ bailout is not helping much. You think we can help the economy? We are at the mercy of the employers whose earning results are going down because of recession. :( It is hard for me to believe that we can help the economy by buying houses and how are the law makers going to get convinced? Show me the proof.

I think it's a way to manage your own expectations - if EBn works out in a reasonable amount of time (varies from person to person), the US is a great place to be, otherwise, your own country is not all that bad. :D

Can we have this ridiculous and scandalous thread deleted.
Pure speculation masquerading as scoop.
and then people ask where do buffoons come from.. we just need to show the mirror to those who outrightly without any basis term a thread "Ridiculous and Scandalous".
I merely interpreted what I thought could be a possibility.

swede and wonderlust:
this organization is strong and growing everyday because of the efforts of volunteers like you. thank you from all of us for your enthusiasm and motivation. iv does not seek to represent any one nationality, group or skillset. Once you start dividing there is no end. india vs row? EB2 vs EB3? STEM vs other? US degree vs Foreign Degree? BEC vs new filers? we have seen all these food fights take place. will it ever stop?
the goal is to end retrogression for all. if this happens incremental steps then the movement will continue until the whole goal is achieved. we, as a community of skilled immigrants cannot afford to be fractured. if we are not speaking with one voice, we will be ignored and those that oppose us will easily block our measures from going forward. among other things we learnt from this rally is that there are still those that seek to pursue narrow and divisive agendas within our movement. this will lead to sure failure, and each one of us will suffer for it.
as i have reminded folks here on numerous occasions, iv is not a brick and mortar structure. we are iv, and there is no iv but us. we determine it's strength and weakness and we shall determine its (and therefore our) success and failure.
some here fear what will happen when the current leadership get green cards. will iv go the way of skilled immigrant organizations of the past?
the answer to that too lies within us. a turnover of leadership is but natural over time. if new people are unwilling to step up and be active volunteers, start state chapters, create new initiatives and bring renewed vigor to this movement it shall die out. if new volunteers will not come forward in a fresh stream then maybe we don't deserve this. we are the arbitrators of our destiny.
i believe though we are more worthy than that.
the rally has also shown us (especially me- given that i took upon myself the task of working with state chapters) that there are very dedicated and highly motivated members in this organization that will work selflessly and give up much to ensure success. my grateful thanks to the many who made my life so much easier these past few months.
wonderlust, if you have initiatives to take the message out to the community, iv will surely help you in every which way possible. please pm pappu with your idea!

Just a quick question:
My employer had legal dept and lawer filed G28 form for me when applied for I-485. Do we really need to hire a lawyer to represent us? I am planning to move to client under similar job description this month end and would like to see if I have to file AC21 and change the lawer representation.
I appreciate any response.
you can change lawyers, you cna also revoke the G28 to make it self representation. Its not a bad idea to do self-representation because:
- EAD/AP renewal is straightforward and you cna file it yourself.
- if you ar elucky you will get GC straightaway.
- if you get an RFE, then depending on how messy hte RFE is, you can decide on a lawyer.
