Dude it is pretty clear you dont belong here. If you joined a body-shop that replaced americans with cheap bodies then your employer violated the law and you were a willing accomplice. You are no better than an illegal alien. No wonder you are so scared of being replaced by yet another cheap body ! IV does not represent people like you.
Now get the hell out of here.

I hope you all boycot the work and do a rally. That will help those Americans replaced by you, to finally get their job back. Or even better that will help the millions of tech workers in India, who wants to get your job, a chance. So go for it.

You need DS-157 only if you are between 15-55 age. When you finish DS-156 it should show you only if you need it. If you don't need it, I think you won't see it..

Thank you very much for all the replies.

Online we filled D-156 form (I guess you meant D-156 right?) but where is 157 (D or I but where do you find 157 form).?

Thank you.

It looks like a case of misunderstanding. Did you explain why you had the change of heart?. Explain your personal situation -like you are explaining here- with the pregnancy and commute time and doctors visits that are required every week?. I am not sure why a sane person wont understand the reasons why you decided not to join them. Further, if they do not understand, ask them if they have filed paperwork for H1?. If NO, then what is the claim of $3000 for?
I explained my situation (I told them everything I wrote here) to them, but they don't care to listen. I have asked for the sign of contract proof and after that so far no mails from them.

I am using AC21. I start my new Job on Monday. I have had an independent attorney of my own for the past 3 years from whom I get a second opinion from time to time. I have already hired them for my AC21. I really liked the attorney I was working with through my old employer as well and at this time I do not know if my I-140 will be revoked. My employer will keep me in the loop with anything. My attorney has already prepared an AC21 package. Take a look at Page 3 of the Yates Memo. Here is the link (http://shusterman.com/cgi-bin/ex-link.pl?www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/I140_AC21_8403.pdf). Here is an extract as well

Accordingly, if the employer withdraws the approved Form I-140 on or after the date that
the Form I-485 has been pending 180 days, the approved Form I-140 shall remain valid under
the provisions of �106(c) of AC21. It is expected that the alien will have submitted evidence to
the office having jurisdiction over the pending Form I-485 that the new offer of employment is
in the same or similar occupational classification as the offer of employment for which the
petition was filed. Accordingly, if the underlying approved Form I-140 is withdrawn, and the
alien has not submitted evidence of a new qualifying offer of employment, the adjudicating
officer must issue a Notice of Intent to Deny the pending Form I-485. See 8 CFR
103.2(b)(16)(i). If the evidence of a new qualifying offer of employment submitted in response
to the Notice of Intent to Deny is timely filed and it appears that the alien has a new offer of
employment in the same or similar occupation, the BCIS may consider the approved Form I-140
to remain valid with respect to the new offer of employment and may continue regular
processing of the Form I-485. If the applicant responds to the Notice of Intent to Deny, but has
not established that the new offer of employment is in the same or similar occupation, the
adjudicating officer may immediately deny the Form I-485. If the alien does not respond or fails
to timely respond to the Notice of Intent to Deny, the adjudicating officer may immediately deny
the Form I-485.hello folks,
I am switching jobs after an approved I140 and over 180 days from 485 receipt.
I am expecting no problems when leaving my current company. but just incase they decide to revoke my 140,
- is it ok to file AC21 after i receive the NOID if some thing happens or is it better to file AC21 now?

one other complication is i will be changing address too. how long does it take for USCIS to update my new address in their records? the reason i am asking is if they send me RFE or NOID, i will totally miss the boat if they send it to the wrong address. i am sure they will send a copy to my attorney, but he works form my current employer and I will assume he is less likely to help. Does it help if i file G28 with my own name and my new address?

I need to join my new job in 10 days and i hev give my crrent company a notice so it is a bit urgent. Please help.

Thank you

Rex

midwest folks- where are you
please post your availability
the more the merrier....

My wife has EAD but didnt use it yet and she is on L1 and her AP had an RFE today and she has ticket booked for INDIA on dec6th...if her AP doesnt get approved before she leaves can she travel ?

People were mentioned about it needs to approved before u come back to USA ?

Please suggest.

oh - no disrespect to vdlrao - we're looking forward to more posts from him.

even if some of his predictions are off target, its many more than us mere mortals who cannot even predict (or analyse) this chakravyu of GC bulletins..

:)

Come on guys, give him a break.

His analysis was accurate, if any of you came across the September 08 bulletin, EB2 advanced by two months. Which equates to what vldrao analyzed in the past, the use of 20,000 visas in September.

We all IV members stand united and lets not adverse someone on the basis of his righteousness. Even if a IV member is wrong, let's all correct him.



Thanks

Thank you very much for all the answers. I will post here when my employer takes a decision on the L1-A/L1-B/H1-B.

Hi,

While in the process of filing for labor certification my company has found 2 suitable citizens who are eligible for the job.

Now what are my options going forward and how does this affect my chances of a successful PERM filing ??

I'm filing in EB3 category right now. Also I need to file for labor before oct since my H1 will expire its original 6 year length next Oct (Oct 2010).

Ask your company what the plan is. If they say wait 6 months or something, just find another job and move on quietly. You must have perm filed by oct this year.

I have got an LUD on 09/01/2009 for both the cases, but the status is still pending.

I am worried, did any have similar experience?

Any ideas to help speeden up the PERM processing in Atlanta center?

Hundreds of folks are stuck for more than 150 days and are in a critical situation now.

Please help us with ur suggestions...

Hi!

I have a question about wether a person with US Masters can qualify for EB1 category? Please comment.

I know generally people with such qualification fall into EB2 category. However, does years of expereience and say Patents qualify you to be considered as EB1?

Thanks for reading this thread and commenting.

In theory, About our own "genuine" educational qualifications We can all discuss this all our life. BUT our educational qualification is SECONDARY for any EB based GC process. The first and foremost qualification is your employer
"should have such a position where EB1/2/3 hiring is must" OR be willing to "create such job position". Then your "Genuine" or "Created" educational qualification and/or "prior work experience" comes into play.

So it is possible that you may come across more advanced people rotting in Eb3 category as they might have choosen "Genuine" way and their employer "could have only Eb3 requirement" while s/he had to file GC and "not willing to create" any acomodative position/s.

And you may also be able to see dumb ones as far as "Genuine educational qualification" is concerned but street smart already having GC based on EB1/2 and perhaps sarcasticlly laughing towards us. Now that does not necessarily mean all EB1/2 are dumb ones and street smart OR viceaversa. And that does not mean all EB3 are "genuine ones" and Viceaversa.

Frustrating? Isn't it? Welcome to the GC world.. Bottomline, it is all about what your "Employer wishes and how s/he wants to proceed and what level s/he can accomodate your "needs" "....

how many ppl are gonna be there? It must be very hot wearing a suit.

China EB3 also didn't recieve the fair share (as per the law) of annual quota.

Looks like USCIS doesn't follow any rules whatsoever. They do whatever they like and nobody question them.

Namecheck is done on everyone applying for any US visa at consulate. There is a database which i think called a lookout system and if you get a hit than you will go through further checks. It happened in 2004 and she has to pay $85 fee give full fingerprints at Delhi consulate and took about 6 weeks to get cleared.

vxg,

How come they are doing namechecks on women? That is supposed to only for male from 17-45 years of age? Can you please clarify? what is namecheck or TechnologyAlertList (this is the only check they can likely do on women as per my understaning).

What that namecheck on YOU or on your wife?

Thanks.

I got it in a week, I got it from SF Consulate.

This might be a simple stupid question,

Can you please update, if you used a standard 2*2 passport taken here in the applicaiton form or got one 3.5 cm * 3.5 cm as put in the passport form. If yes, where did you took one. The standard size Passport Photo appears to be a little bigger than the one specified in the Passport application.

GCPagla,
Job title doesn't have to be the same. The requirement is "same or similar" job. I am in the IT networking...network admin, system admin, network engineer, system engineer, IT consultant, network consultant are all the same. The key is that the job description is similar...there are no guidelines basically its all common sense. For you to go from programmer analyst to development is perfectly ok.

I've not done AC21 before. But if I do, here's what I'll do...Compare your labor description with the new job requirements. They should be similar. Prepare a AC21 letter that list the common and general requirements and send it to the USCIS. They are no official forms and some people even say that this letter is not necessary. However, I think it is important to cover your behind. Make sure this letter is certified, registered so that if anything happens you can prove that you did inform them and ported your I-140 to the new company.

guys many of us are considering going back to india.. any idea on whether those who have 40 credits will be eligible for social security from india...


also any adivice o what is the best way to transfer 401 to india.. withdraw immeditately or wait till 591/2 years..

Not sure about SS benefit. You can't do anything anyway with it now. If you are young, consider it gone even if you were US citizen at the moment.

If you withdraw your 401K now, you will have to pay taxes, plus 10% penalty probably. Depanding on your employer's 401K program policy, some allows money to stay if it exceeds certain minimum. Be sure to check the vesting policy. You can always roll it over to an IRA of your choice.

hello days go by,
kinda new here.
is there a way to find out, out of 360K case overall, how many are EB1, EB2 or EB3? Or how many files in year 01, 02, and 03?

overheard most are EB2/3 cases and not many 245i cases.

One thing for sure is that no file in BEC is EB1. The rest is all guess:

If the historic information can tell the present and future, then roughly for every 2 - 3 EB3, there is one EB2...

The trackers at immigrationportal show not many 01 files left, and there're still quite some 02 and a lot of 03 in both BECs. DBEC tends to process a lot of 04/05 cases recently in LIFO manner, whereas PBEC is a bit more FIFO recently barring some cases that came out of regionals..

I have Labor (PERM) and I140 approved from my current employer.
can I apply trasfer and extension with new employer.

Advice is highly appreciated.

o yea, guess i should have asked this before posting!
Nah, now he has to accept it :D !
