I think they will send the results with in a week time. you have to mail them the original results certificate with in 120days.

And law firm is right, they protect their clients. Search this forum for I-140 revocation by USCIS. I-140 was approved and then revoked by USCIS itself. In that case AC21 does not help, 485 will be denied.

I didnt understand your point: Is revoking an approved I140 is mandotary for the employer when an employee leaves? Per most lawyers it is not mandotory. Yes ofcourse employers "can" revoke but the question is it necessary for their interests and how?

Revocation of an approved I140 by USCIS is may be for other reasons like incorrect info when its applied or something like that.

Friends,
I will be relocating to Houston soon. I am new to the area. I would really appreciate if you can give your inputs on good neighborhoods, cost of living, etc.

Thanks,

If you file 485 based on your previous approved 140, you are compelled to go back to your previous employer when your GC is approved.

So the options you have are:

1. File 485 based on previously approved 140. If approved within 180 days, go back to previous employer otherwise use AC21 to change employer to current employer. This presumes that your former employer is willing to continue support of your GC.

2. You could file 485 based on unapproved 140 since concurrent filing is still allowed.

The choice is yours.

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

Rex,

1) It is better to send in an AC21 letter, when in doubt i.e, in case your employer revokes I-140., even though you have crossed 180 days threshold after filing for I-485/AOS.

2) Retain your own lawyer and change G-28 to him/her. For changing G-28 to self is done by sending in a letter to USCIS saying that you are withdrawing the representation rights (for you) of the the previous lawyer.

3) First Change address. Use AR-11 form. send it to the address shown on that form. secondly, Call the number on your I-485 and other receipts to update your new address.

The proper sequence to follow is 3, 2, 1.

Thanks,

DISCLAIMER: Not a legal advise. This is my personal opinion. Consult an attorney to proceed.

agc2005: I am sending in the card and new photos along with the application today to TSC. According to USCIS Service rep, I don't need to attach the fees. Now I need to find the address where to send.

The reason they said was they are doing the back ground check on the company. But i am on the payroll from the same company since last 4years...

Isnt recording conversations without the consent illegal? :confused:

This may be correct but , if you sent the tape of employer abusing /cursing its own employees to DOL along with other allegations , they might well pay special attention and scrutinize him or his company thoroghly.

As i had indicated earlier, I spoke with my employer, he cannot do anything in terms of lobbying - but has agreed to do things. He will donate to IV and he will write a letter stating that small businesses like ours need to be able to fully utilize the capabilities of the employers...and it helps to have the green card.

Not sure who the letter needs to be addressed to, any suggestions would be helpful.

No matter what, your employer must maintain the salary that was given to the government when your H-1 was filed. You can't go below that salary. With regards to the LC salary, the company is only required to meet that salary after your I-485 has been approved; so if you aren't meeting the LC salary now, that's fine. Make sure that your salary on your H-1 is still met, though.

Dear st4rguitar, thank you very much for your answer. I appreciate it.
So, bottom line, I am going to loose my application for the Labor Certification. He WILL decrease my salary, which, at this point, even though it matches the one I have in my H1-B, will determine the withdrawal of my application, and because my H1-B will expire in September 08, I will have 60 days (I think this is the timeframe) after the expiration to leave the USA. Am I correct st4rguitar? Thanks again and good luck to everybody! We REALLY need it!

thanks dude..

if you don't mind, can you please answer few questions?

Did u take help from any third party guys who arrange things for you like bank draft/getting mexican permit and other stuff?

Could you list out documents you carried for stamping?

I'm with Don.. although I have a camera in phone, it's got less resolution that a hungover coke bottle dipped in vaseline jelly peering through the polar ice cap after a three night binge on beer, whisky and crack. ...
resolution lower than a cockroaches left testicle and more shakey than a sneezing 99 year old geriatric having a seisure.....Rob, What have you been eating? :D

Thanks for your comment,

CitiBank recently launched their Online Remit service. I used it for the first time last week and the exchange rate offered was best of all other services. Their fee is a flat $1 for any amount transferred. I did the same amount transfer at the same time with Citi as well as Remit2India and I got 16 Paise per $ more with Citi.

Keep in mind, every new business tries to offer best services in the beginning to attract customers and I suspect it will be same with Citi too. So their rates may be great now but could be whole different story in few months. They also disclose in the fine print that the exchange rate offered includes conversion commission.

If I were to order my preference on a permanent basis I would rank SBI, Citi, Remit2India, ICICI and then Western.

The following doc, 'How the senate bill becomes a law' does not mention any waiting period after President's sign the bill to become a law

I agree.

This database could be used to find out the percentage of successful labor applications filed on behalf of a particular organization.

However, I hope they are not using Microsoft Access for their actual system. If that is the infrastructure they have then we already have answers for the long GC wait ;-)

This is useful, but I doubt its accuracy because some of the cases I know - including mine - are missing !!

hopein07 - thanks a ton again

Any idea about Australia?

Not much idea about Australia but you don't want to go Down Under. It's very racist and discriminatory in every aspect. Besides, the accent.... OMG... simply unbearable :mad:

You can get some info from a forum for British expats in oz:
http://britishexpats.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=32

All in all Oz is a bigger hell. The only thing good there is the 3 Bs - Beer, Beaches and the Babes. But you better stay away from them because they are not very approachable for the people of color.

too farfetched? should we pursue it? a 10 year wait at the least given the current quota restrictions..

I have applied from Texas SC

My attorney mentioned it might 2 to 3 years to process an appeal, is that correct do you guys know any one who got it faster than that, he mentioned that we have to appeal to district court along with documentation of new resolution which was passed last year stating that employer has final discretion is deciding edu qualification for job role

I'll be joining in from ND. I dont know of any other members from this state.
