Waiting for 180 days is hard....but its even harder for folks like me, who are waiting for 140 approval..The way things are, looks like it sgonna take much longer than 180 days for 140 approval...Only then I can even think of using AC21....But no complaints...Patience pays...:)
You are not as bad as you think. Read USCIS guidance on the subject. If your I-140 is not approved by 180 days, you can still use AC21. In that case, the adjudicator while looking at your I-485, sees if filed I-140 was approvable. If so, you are good to go, provided you can prove that you have a new same/similar job offer.

So are scotland, wales considered dependencies? Kashmiris can get passport from Pakistan if they want. Who would give passports to Hyderabadis?
Goa and Pondicherry are states now.
It is difficult without knowing the meaning of dependencies and how it is defined.
Pondicherry is still a Union Territory.

why does everyone on the forum get excited so easily?the proposals from CIR are just that-proposals. a bill has to be debated by both senate and house of reps and passed, then approved and signed by president to make it a law. Most bills do not become laws. The information of mere proposals has people all over the forum debating, arguing and doing all kinds of analysis about the various proposals in the CIR bill. So much speculation about something that is at an infantile stage makes me wonder what will happen if any of the proposals actually becomes a law!! i am sure many people in the forum will have heart attacks!!

You can change your address online or also by calling the USCIS. I did the latter in my case a few months ago. Once the system is updated by a USCIS customer service rep to reflect the new address, you'll get an email notification, if you have that feature activated on the USCIS site/your application portfolio.
Good luck.

This may have serious effects on processing this case. Please call 1-800-375-5283 to update your mailing address for this notice to be re-sent..

Thank you. I don't think there's such a thing for I-140 probably because things are not as complex as they are for an I-485. They just check for a valid labor certification wherever necessary, experience letters and the company's ability to pay, that's it.

There is a sudden change of plan. My company wants me in US for two months - March 15 - May 15. Then i have to go back to India till Dec 09 and come back to join work from Jan 2010. My questions -
1. Will i be facing any questions at the immigration (point of entry) when i come back on Jan 2010?
2. Any other situation or scenario that i should be aware of?
3. If i receive pay check for just two months in 09, will there be a problem when i file taxes for 2009?
4. How long can i stay outside US on a H1b visa?
Thanks a lot.
The key question is - what you will be doing in India during the period you are out of US? Will you be working in Indian subsidiary of your employer?

MY intention was not to make this India Specific, but to bring to light the lobbying effort....Although the Bill is not passed....it is silently being pushed. The Immigration reform and SKILL is being touted and shouted abt so much, that it becomes a scare for congressmen to even touch it, let alone pass it.
We have to work secretly more than ever..its important. and I hope IV is doing exactly that with Quinn and Gillespi
The bill is passed by both the house now. All its needs is to reconsile by the commitee and its done for President's signature. This was priority for the President all the time since he announced in March 2006 in India. Ofsourse everthing needs lobbying. And IV, I think is doing its best in this regard.
I think we should stop responding to this thread and leave it as it is. I am Indian and I am happy for India that this deal is passed. Now lets concentrate on our major problem, "The Green Card". Hope you all understand that.

Thanks RPAT. With this additional clarification I can say that my case is not similar.
In my case, my employer first applied EB3 (pre-Perm) substitution I-140 with LC priority date of Nov-2004 while my EB2 LC was pending. When in Mar-2007 my Perm EB2 LC was approved, employer asked me if I want to continue with EB3 or want to use new EB2 LC. The day I informed my decision to move with EB2 was the day EB3 I-140 was approved. I think then lawyer used Nov-2004 priority date in my EB2 I-140. Approval for EB2 I-140 was received in Nov-2007 and indicated PD of Nov-2004. My I-485 was filed in Aug-07 as concurrent application. Later my company told me that EB3 I-140 was withdrawn. Now my I-485 is still pending and I suspect it has EB3 classification. I have opened SR early this week. Let's see what's the response.
Thanks for your prompt response. Wish you good luck.

mate long gaps between filing is not an issue at all. save your self some money by filing it yourself. Efile is easiest but keep in mind you will have to go to your nearest immigration office once they send you appt info for your pic to be taken and also your other family members.

I think best thing to apply your GC as soon as possible. You are running out of time if you need to move to Employer B. For GC, you don't have to join B. If A can apply EB1 then very good but make sure it's big company. My EB1 denied because small orgnisation & then I applied my EB3 thru diff employer.

Can I call them and ask about it ? This is scary. My friends who applied after me got it and I'm moving in 2 weeks.
appreciate any suggestions.
dont worry, it is taking a little longer because of the flood of applications. 3 weeks is nothing to worry.

Hi javans,
I am not an attorney, but I have seen people using 3 yrs of experience to count for 1 year of education. And EB2 category needs at least 5 years of experience in the job area in which you will be applying PERM.
Thus, 3 years of education + 3 yrs of exprience + 5 years of experience = EB2 category.
You will need an Expert letter for an accredited Evaluation to prove that 3 years of education+experience = 4 yrs of education.
I have myself not done it, but I have met few people in the past who did that.
And as far as second question goes, I have not heard anything like that at all. If you are inclined to do online course for one year, I suggest you to do Masters (1.5 years of education and .half year of research project).
Hope it helps.
Good luck!
Thanks for the reply Veni001. Can anyone please answer to my second part of question i.e. online degree course.
Thanks,
javans

Since on 2nd July they said they will reject the AOS application, what if they would have done some rejection during that time, and by the time July filers get their application back, it is after 17th of August. In that circumstance, can you send the AOS application back arguing USCIS's mistake and ask them to take it back after 08/17 and would they take it back politely or reject it again.
Its going to be another lawsuit :confused:

I work as a consultant for one of the big 5 firms implementing SAP applications. What is the job code referenced for this job? I want to know the job category it falls under as per the Dictionary of Occupation Title or the O*Net published by DOL. My company did not provide me this information but any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone in advance,
Madhavi
You have no other way to get this information other than your employer or attorney who filed your case. If your case was filed under PERM process then I remember, few months back I saw an access database floating around in a forum which had the information on companies who filed LC for which position during end of 2005-2006 period. Rightly it did not have any information on candidates. I cannot remember where did I find it.
We can all speculate what it would be but not sure. We also do not know why do you need this info and what is your current status with regard to GC...

the above scenario was if you were mnaintaing H1 status. if you are working using EAD then ofcourse your current status wont be H1 bur AOS hence you will send proof of that.
The idea is to show that you are here legally and if working prrof of that authorization thorough a visa or EAD.
Thanks waitingforlong. And the proof of AOS would be 485 receipts right?
