Man, this place just needs a reason to go all-out hysterical. Seriously, what is the problem with this regulation? Employment verification is just the DMV's way of finding out if the person is in legal status. You had to show this letter when you got your visa stamped didn't you? Similarly, American citizens have to show proof of citizenship while applying for a driver's license. These are good law-enforcement measures the govt is taking to prevent out of status immigrants from getting a driver's license.

Providing ability to file AOS (485) without priority dates being current is part of the IV agenda. Nobody is ignoring the plight of those who have been left behind. IV is still working for your cause.
Have patience. There's a funding drive for Recapturing going on right now. It will help you (and others) to file 485. If unused visa numbers are captured dates will become current again, and you can apply for AOS. Given that PDs will jump forward by years in every category you have a good chance of getting GC in a short period of time.
Does any body think of people who did not get a chance to file I-485 who had earlier priority date(2002-mar 2005) ?

Nag, u r in a bad situation no doubt. But u had every chance to apply for labor via PERM as well (many of my friends did that) just to be on a safer side. So u r partially to be blamed for ur sorry state.
MY Company never wanted to allow another application through PERM.

its a really good discussion, thanks to all people who have provided valuable information. I am a Consultant throughout my career and never lead a team but now planning to change gears and move into project management. When I goolged about the requirement to take the exam, Lot of PMP training institutes came up and they are charging about $2000 for training and they say its a 5 day course, guarantee to pass bhla bhla .... My first question is it required to take these training classes? if not how to become eligible for to take the exam, Please advice.
gcmaine. here is my answer to your question. I completed my PMP in 2008. Same like other folks here, thanks to USCIS, I have never been able to use it, since I am in eb3 and cant change job family. anyways here is my thought, in my opinion, this is just my opinion , keep in mind, those trainings are not at all necessary, if you have little bit of perseverance and time. Reason I am saying this is, with 2 kids, I was able to do this PMP certification myself, without any training. I took my own sweet time, spent 6 months studying in a library (2 hours every day on weekdays) and couple of hours in the weekends. I could pass this in one shot. And if I can do it, anyone can do it. All you need is perseverance and I am sure you will get through. PM me if you have any questions on how to prepare for the exam.

The December 2000 date is mentioned in Big letters as its the completion of my final semester exams. The June 2002 date was due to taking one of the supplementary exam of one subject of one of my previous semester .
</quote>
If you are taking a supplementary examp of one subject of your previous sumester clearly says you have not graduated on Dec 2000, but only after June 2002. I dont' think any school give away degree without completing all exams.
I have heard many such cases, people want to take advantage of EB2 and filed without meeting the requirements. But unfortunately many times they are trapped.
There is only one way, talk to a good immigration lawer. The good thing is, this is not a crime, you still have enough evidence to prove that this is a user error and you have chance to file again. Go with EB3 for safe. But ONLY A VERY GOOD IM LAWER can do this.

There are more risks in using AC21 before 140 approval.
Read the Aytes memo of Dec 2005 regarding portability before 140 approval. There is all kinds of things that can go wrong if you port off to a new employer before 140 approval.
Other than employer withdrawing 140, the other issues are that if there is an RFE on your 140 and you have already used portability and ported off to new employer using EAD, then what would you do if that 140 doesnt get approved. Because if your H1 6 years have been used up, you are on EAD status, and your underlying 140 tied to 485 doesnt get approved, then it means you are out of status and you are out of luck. You cant even stay here to appeal the whole thing, you have to pack up and go back.

Please guys, I understand the frustration we're all going through but do not compare it to what happened to the Jews under the Nazis. We are indeed in a bad situation but comparing it to genocide is too much.
I have seen pictures of the Holocaust and still get nightmares.
Just keep things in perspective and have faith in God and your destiny.
Remember, the bill hasn't passed yet. It still has to go through the House of Representatives.
There is nothing in this world that is as evil as Nazis , People should refrain from using the word at any cost.

Great news! I was never on H4 so it does not really affect me. But any good news for skilled immigration is good news.
Now can we get news on SKIL bill passage or USCIS allowing filing I485 during retrogression?
Plus the 5 year EAD....

yesetrday on CNN, AC 360, there were two latino ladies (US Citizens) and they kept saying that this bill is illegal and should be vetoed.
All latinos want other latinos to come to USA and have the numbers/political influence to get them GC's via amnesty before legal immigrants.
None of those ladies said they did not support illegal immigration, they just kept ranting about racial profiling.

Tancredo, 70 lawmakers strike out at guest-worker plan
By Anne C. Mulkern
U.S. Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colo. (AP)
Washington - Colorado's Rep. Tom Tancredo and 70 other U.S. representatives sent a letter today to a Senate committee, warning that legislation it's considering allowing illegal immigrants to work legally in the country will hit a roadblock if it comes back to the House.
The Senate's Judiciary Committee for the last two weeks has been debating an immigration reform bill that includes what's being called a “guest worker” program, something President Bush said he wants.
“We are concerned that some of these proposals are fundamentally incompatible with the desire of the American public for real immigration reform and their clear opposition to reform proposals that amount to little more than thinly disguised attempts to provide amnesty," the House members said in the letter.
“If the Senate were to pass such a proposal, we believe it would doom any chance of a real reform bill reaching the president's desk this year.
Tancredo, R-Littleton, and the other 70 lawmakers were part of a group that led the passage of a bill in the House that imposes new border security measures, including increasing penalties for being in the country illegally.
The House bill does not include a guest-worker provision. The group considers allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the country legally a form of amnesty.
“Rewarding persons who have broken the law with an advantage that they would not otherwise have had encourages more illegal behavior and is unjust to immigrants who came to the U.S. legally,'' the letter says.
Reps. Bob Beauprez, R-Arvada, and Joel Hefley, R-Colorado Springs, are among those who signed the letter.
The Senate Judiciary Committee is not expected to finish work on the bill this week, which was the deadline given by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. He is expected to introduce his own bill possibly today that includes border security measures and does not have a guest worker provision.

Lou Dobb seems to discourage illegal immigration but is all for legal immigration ...
You are naive to think that. That was just his mask. He opposes all and any immigration.

you mean there is no freedom in India??? 80-90% of the indians who have H1 have not attended college in US and do you think these people are not educated and knowledgeable. I think you should grow up man... or might be when you get sick and get admitted in hospital and your insurance doesn't cover... you realize the importance of India...
I am not commenting against the previous post or this one. But I personally feel there are some scariest things in US. One of them is lack of heath insurance, even if you have one, you are not 100% sure it protects you when you are in dire need. The cost is DAMN high. Costs your arms and legs.
The 2nd thing, if you are out of job for quite sometime, which itself is scary, on top of that, all your savings evaporate quickly.
In India, you can live without job for an year, without too much impact on your personal life and your finances. Insurance issues... we are fine in India..
US has its advantages... India has its advantages... just because you are in US now doesn't mean you can talk rubbish about India.... If you like US, talk good about it... but you don't need to de-grade one country to highlight another...
Yes, there are good things and bad things with both the countries
For me, one of the things is, I am most addicted to this weather :D
Hmm...
