Someone referred this creditunion in this post and when i checked the rates, they seem to be better than dcu.org.
When i checked the eligibility criteria to join penfed, its vague and it seems that if i join military officers assn of america for 13dollar annual membership(which i dont need to retain) , i can get their membership. Is this correct?
If i get membership with this moaa, would that hurt my greencard process as the greencard assumes no affiliation with any military associations etc... (i remember some questions like that). Can someone please advise ?
Thanks

I think, last week, two threads were locked due to very hot discussion on this issue. This discussion will create more heat again.
i guess my post was mis-interpreted so i have modified it to clarify it. what i meant was if IV considers it is not asking for too much - they feel it will not jeopardise "ability to file 485" provision then having AC21 advantage without waiting for six months would be like "sone pe suhaga"

By the way, friends, I stay behind my words. Last year my family and I started working on "plan B" and when time comes, we will move out of the US after 6-7 years chasing of a mirage. Of course, if the GC mess here miraculously improves we would stay but I must be crazy to really believe that.
Anyhow, everyone has to choose individually to stay and wait or to "vote with the feet". We all know it is a tough and painful decision but for me this is like a rotten tooth - the sooner you get rid of it, the better. Just my way of thinking.
Our "flirt" with the US immigration system resembles very much the unshared love - you love a girl and do everything for her but she is a spoiled bitch and just plays with you. Some people will never stop circle around this girl but other will finally get pissed off, will say the f-word and will move with their lives. Suddenly these people will discover that there are lots of other girls, honest and thrustforthy, who deserved to be loved. Voting with the feet... :-)

Higher salary should not be a problem at all. Important thing is, the salary should be equal or above the prevailing wage at new location for that job classification at that position/level. PW also a survey of wage by DOL. It does not mean that one should not earn considerably more than average. Lets see an hypothetical example,
A young Software engineer joins microsoft using AC21 and dates Bill gates son/daughter and marry him/her. Bill gates increase that person salary to 1 million, but he/she continuously doing same SW engineer job. In that case 1 million salary should not be a problem for AC21, because it is higher than PW in seattle.
(Dont ask me why not if a person marry Bill gates son/daughter they can come in family category)
As per the current guidelines adjudicating officer makes the determination based on Department of Labor SOC/O*net code in the Labror Certification Application (ETA 9098) form. ( It's very critical to have a copy of LC application, before considering AC21. If you don't have it through employer, you can get a copy from DOL through FOIA request )
DOLs SOC/O*Net gives the job description for the Job code as well as "same or similar" jobs (if you search on your SOC/O*net code)
http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/
Here's an example - http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/ccreport/15-1031.00
This is the website IOs are supposed to be using (as per guidelines). Becoming a Sr. Software Engineer from Software Engineer shouldn't be an issue. Salary hike beyond 50% could (or could not) be a problem based on the IOs sole discretion. 50% is just a ball-park assumed by most immigration attorneys. In reality, there is no such preset limit. It's entirely upto the IOs decision.
Promotion as manager is a tricky situation, as Job description changes. IO may consider it 'same or similar', or consider it altogether different. In such cases it may be possible to prove the jobs are similar by obtaining an 'Expert Opinion Letter' from an expert in the field ( such as a Professor of Computer Science from a University).

You are right leo.
My question is - is quantity all that matters? We need lots of people to participate, but at the same time, I believe that people need to agree with IV provisions too, to be a passionate representative in lawmaker meetings. If the person is thinking twice to register (for free, and believes that registration will help IV), how dedicated and passionate will he be in articulating the IV provisions?
I would prefer to have quality of members over quantity of members. (I am only talking about dedication of members). Am I being judgmental? Maybe I am. But I believe my logic is right. You see, the person who does not want to register is also being judgmental, unapologetic, and he probably believes in his logic. He is entitled to his opinion (as I am), however, IV should not sacrifice its integrity to get members who do not believe in it.
Accommodating people who cannot extend the same courtesy to an organization working for their own benefit?
If people who are affected by 485 prefiling , or want to participate in the advocacy efforts, they can think in:
There is an org that is working on this issue, it will benefit me, I don't know much about it, let me find out more and see if I can help.
There is an org that is working on this issue, it will benefit me, I don't know much about it, I don't think it is possible to get the job done, I don't want to spend my time on it, I will stay away from it.

Thanks all for the various responses. However, Immique, what kind of RFE can be expected @ 485 stage?
Also, I have moved to Biz Dev from an engineer after my Labor. I now have my 140 and EAD. Is there any risk because of my change in role?
I am just giving a general idea of what the process might be. many people get RFEs for no good reason. In this particular instance for example the work experience may be questioned and also the job duties and how much they are different (including difference in pay) to justify EB3 to EB2 conversion. many aspects that are generally overlooked will attract more scrutiny as the application becomes more complicated as they have to review both the applications in detail.
Moreover, lets say the number of EB2 applications every year is about half of the number of EB3 applications or lets assume the average number of EB2s every year in the last 5-6 years was abut 30,000 per year and unusually if this year the EB2 applications go up to 60,000 and 30,000 of them are actually EB3 to EB2 conversions, that in itself will trigger a red flag to USCIS and will lead to increased scrutiny of all those applications that may have been converted or are filed after the visa numbers became unavailable. My intention is not to discourage anyone moving from EB3 to EB2, but am just advising that you do it right and take the help of the lawyer, because by chance if you get an RFE, you do not want to be answering it yourself. let a professional lawyer handle it. if you are confident that you have a high likelihood of success then go for it, but don't listen to all those that say it is very easy. do your own assessment and decide for yourself. in the end it is your greencard application and not theirs. you always hope for the best outcome but remember you have to be well prepared for the worst possible outcome if it happens. what did life teach you so far?

3 options
1) file H1 on Apr 1st and if H4 is not approved by then withdraw pending H4
2) file H1 on Apr 1st before the current H4 expires and hope that H4 is approved before H1. H1 should be approved after H4 to have the H1 status. If H4 is approved later, H1 status will be lost
3) Request PP of extension and 99.9% of time 539 is approved along with 129.
I will add more info as I find.

Hi Experts,
The question i've is:
I heard from my Immigration Lawyer that,from November 01, 2008, any person who works in Information Technology (IT) and who has Advanced Degree from USA like Master's is eligible for EB3 Category only and not EB2 category. Please confirm if the above statement is true or not.
Thanks,
Abhi
There was an article @ immigration-law on it.. and then some subsequent discussion on IV..

You should read that RonGothers thread - he is strongly of the opinion that maintaining H1B status while AOS is pending is useless. Moreover, it seems like USCIS can revoke your remaining H1B when they deny AOS application basically kicking you out of the country immediately. Now as a practical matter, I don't think they are doing that anyway. So guys, once you burn up your 6 year H1B, there is no real strong cushion if 485 gets denied. To heck with these laws. Stupid and irritating.
...and the confusion regarding this rule continues :)

Hi,
My company is asking me to pay the extension fees for 3rd term with same company. I had approved 140. In USCIS receipt it says amount received: $320. Then why I am asked to pay $1820. Is the $1500 towards training is to be paid by employee or employer?

Pappu,
Do I need to post my question on this thread or I can pass it on before in time to StarSun or you? B'cause posting my GC issue with personal information would not look appropriate on a public forum.
Let me know.
If there are personal details that is related to the question, please send the details to IVCOORDINATOR@GMAIL.COM Have the subject line:

Can we post a question now or only after 8:30PM Thursday?
You have to be present to ask the question on the call, and therefore we prefer if you posted the questions on Thursday.

Please use this:
We have been model "future citizens" by paying all our taxes, abiding by civic laws and meticulously making sure that we never get out of our precarious H-1 B visa status. This is how we are rewarded. This isn't a "grand bargain" it is not even an "amnesty" as many anti-immigrants are labeling it, this is worse, it is a "travesty." Bravo US Senate, you just proved that playing by the rules is such an unAmerican trait. We learn that from your grand bargain. Better late than never. So being illegal, not paying taxes will yeild you a green-card after 8 years of z-visa. How about many of us that have been subjected to endless waits, thousands of dollars in USCIS Fees, paying taxes for the last 8 or more years. Do we have to wait for another 8-10 years?. With the "grand-bargain" it does seem like it will be more years for legals waiting in line.
I like to think that being illegal is better than legal as per the provisions in CIR!
What do you think of H4-spouses who can't work whereas those illegal can now apply for a work-visas!
What do you think of parents who were not issued visitor visas for silly reasons? Whereas those who by hook or crook got here are being given work-visas?
How come the illegals are guaranteed a GC within 5 years and the current legal immigrants are NOT?
How come the illegals can work and the legal residents on certain visas can't?
How come the illegals can work for any employer while H1Bs can't?
I am not against giving these benefits to illegals if that's how it needs to fixed. But what about us, the bright and good folks!!
When did h1b become a joke?
This grand-compromise is not making sense at all. It's smelling real bad for legal-visa holders.
I would like to hear from you folks..
