anyone know if,

Bachelors Equivalent ( Bachelors-3Yrs + Masters-2Yrs ) + 5 years Experience

qualify for EB2 ?

thanks,

I think it can be, but when the job requirement Bachelor Equivalent+ 5Year then it opens up for a wide range.

You can show BS equivalence by 3 yr degree+1 yr degree or 3yr degree + 2 yr degree.....etc

Sensenbrenner is not going to be convinced by anyone. He is going to be as tough to crack as Tancredo.

My son is an U.S citizen (4 years old) and my Attorney successfully filed a petion on behalf of me and mywife.

But that petion is based on EB2 :p
I did not understand your answer.
How come your 4 year old son apply in EB2 category and sponsor the parents. I know the application is for future employment. But this one is stretching too far? :)

There's nothing new in that website. EB-2 India for entire FY is GONE.. FINIS.. KHATAM... KHALLAS.
....
That forum posting by Attorney says " ...Charles Oppenheim spoke. Mr. Oppenheim is the officer within the Visa Office tasked with calculating visa bulletin cutoff dates each month. He offered the following thoughts as to cutoff date movement in the upcoming months:

In April, India and China EB2 will be set at 12/01/2003
...

So ?

Edit. Latest ..on my case.(with a little history) and this is hilarious.

8/21/2008 : Talk with the California Service Center (hopefully)
Me: My case has been transferred all of a sudden to California with the PD became current (on july 21, 2008), why ?
Answer: Your case has been sent back to TSC on Aug. 15th. We do not have the case any more. You can call TSC to confirm.


8/22/2008: Talk with Customer Service
Customer Service: Your case is still in California.

9/2/2008 : Info pass appointment. Talk with IO
IO: Your case is still in TSC but will be transferred to CSC soon.

I cannot believe such an organization exists in the world.
************************************************** *********************************

I have a question, my attorney says that he has filed the application on 2nd July without my signature.
I have not given any authorization also.
I am worried if it is valid or not.

I don't know if they take authorization from my employer or it should be from me.
Please suggest.

Sorry to have to say this but they will probably reject your application. Signature is the most important thing they look for in any application.

Filing 485 during visa unavailability, should not be the concern in this bill. Why our people are worrying about filing AOS when visa number unavailable? Man, this should not be our concern at all. Our main concern should be reinstating the AC21 provision that allow the oversubscribed countries to use excess visas in each EB category. Specter removed very important provision that eliminate per country limit in EB visas for oversubscribed countries. This is a big blow to India, China. It will stop all the benefits from this bill.

If the current form of specter bill passes, there is no benefit to any of us. If EB visa increased to 290K, excluding dependents from counting from FY 2001, recapturing unused visa from 2001 to 2005, and excluding EB1 (OR+EA) and EB2 (MS+3) from count, that drastically increase the visa numbers. The increase is unimaginable, and I feel that it will be about 4 to 5 times than current 140K numbers. If all the listed provisions appears in the final bill, the visa number will always be �current� for all countries for many years, provided AC21 (elimination of per country limit if demand is less than supply) reinstated. If this happens, no one needs to worry about filing AOS when visa number unavailable. That situation never arises.

If current form of Specter bill passes, all the new numbers created thro above listed provisions, will not give any benefit to India/China. DOS simply say per country limit is 10% only no matter what. Remember that, 10% is total of FB+EB numbers. (480000+290000). India and China FB numbers are also heavily backlogged. Therefore our main concern is to reinstate AC21 provision not filing AOS, and keep pressure to keep the listed provisions (EB visa increased to 290K, excluding dependents from counting from FY 2001, recapturing unused visa from 2001 to 2005, and excluding EB1 (OR+EA) and EB2 (MS+3)) in the final bill


this person is bringing some valid points to ponder. People please go through her posting and i agree with her regarding the numbers is still 10% only for india. we need to fight for removing the per country limit, or else, we may probably be in this retrogression mess for quite sometime.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to do anything in your wife's matter. The people you are referring to as the ones whose cases got accepted are the ones with bounced checks. There is a difference between the manner in which USCIS treats cases with bounced checks and cases where checks are missing, are in an incorrect amount, there is a mismatch between words and figures in the check, check is not dated, check is not signed, etc.

In the first category, there is prima fascie evidecne that the check is in the proper amount, check is dated, signed, made payable to the proper authority. In those cases, the USCIS considers bounced checks as a matter for collection. The reason that there is a difference is that in the first case, the properly signed check IS NEGOTIABLE INSTRUMENT AND COMPLETELY VALID UNDER LAW.

In your case, the check was deficient because it put the party (the USCIS/Government) on notice of a defect. A party to whom a defective negotiable instrument is given with notice of the defect does not become a HOLDER IN DUE COURSE (VERY IMPORTANT UNDER THE LAW ). IN OTHER WORDS, THE CHECK LOSES ITS POWER OF NEGOTIABILITY UNDER LAW. Even if the Check is deficient that it does not affect its negotiability ( for example, check is not dated, or the check only contains the amount in words), the party to whom it is presented is under no liability to accept the check. For these reasons, THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR WIFE'S MATTER AND THE EXAMPLES YOU PROVIDE.

For this reason, I advised you to wait until the PD for your category become current again.

Can anybody please help in answering below questions on my case? I really appreciate your help. This is urgent for me.

#1: I am working for Company A (current company). My GC processing details (with current company):
1. Labor Approved.
2. I-140 Approved with priority date of Aug 2006 (Category -EB2)
3. I-485 - NOT filed
#2: I am on 6th year of H1-B. My current H1-B is valid till Jan 29, 2011 (less than 365 days from today).

I want to change job and join Company B (new company) for excellent offer and life long stability.

As per my understanding, for continuous H1-B extension & GC approval on existing priority date, I must stay with existing company(A). But attorney of new company(B) is saying he will be able to handle my H1-B extension and may be able to save my priority date also by filing new PERM & I-140. I am not sure whether attorney of new company(B) is correct or not. Can anybody please help in answering below questions?

Ques : If new company(B) transfers H1-B and USCIS will grant H1-B for 3 years based on approved I-140 with current company(A):
A. Can USCIS revokes extended period ( after Jan 29, 2011) if current company(A) revokes their approved I-140 before new company(B) gets approval of new PERM and I-140?
B. Can new company (B) start new PERM application during my extension period (after Jan 29, 2011)?
C. Can new company (B) transfer Priority date even if existing company(A) revokes their I-140?


A. Since the law is unclear, to be on the safe side, you can have the new company file H1 extension in premium processing and resign/leave the current employer only after extension is approved

B. Yes, new company can start a new PERM and port your earlier PD during I-140 process

C. PD can be ported even if old employer revokes I-140, provided the revocation was not due to fraud.

Also, I am sure all IV members would really appreciate if you could tell us the name of this company which is offering a life long stability..:-)

But dont you guys expect improvement after all this fiasco ?
Do you not agree that INS will learn some lessons from this ?

Since DOS does not know or INS cannot tell DOS how many apps it has waiting for approval , then how will DOS decide on the monthly cutoff for EB categories ?
With all the fiasco. DOS will definitely ask INS and get the estimate before deciding cut off.
INS also promised that they will work with DOS to make this cutoff process proper ?
I dont know the details, but we may see a definite change henceforth.
So be ready for more surprises in coming months.
Enjoy the ride.............

This link didn't work for me either.

The folks who strongly feel that IV should be mentioned should write an email to OH and ask him to change the wording to include IV in it.

On a positive note, there is extra publicity for the flower campaign. On a flip side, if IV was linked to this post, we would had some more people flow into this website and possible new members and campaigners.

Finally, as to why he didnt put IV name - being an active reader the past few days of these posts, I've my reasons to understand the possible reasons but since this thread isnt about the why or why not - I'd like to keep this thread to the point of send flower campaign and how we can make it more effective.
Lets send emails to him and of course, in a nicely worded request to include IV and most importantly a link to IV on his website.

The above is my own personal opinion and you have a right to agree/disagree with the same. In either case, I'd expect you to reply back in a civilized tone and refrain from any personal and/or vilification campaigns.

thanks guys! I appreciate your feedback.... I agree that this may not be the best time to change jobs....But, will still like to see if there is something available. I agree that chicago is a gr8 city but have family reasons to move to Atlanta.....

By talking to various folks, looks like IT market is really soft or bad. Do you guys concur? Also, no new projects are being launches and companies are still cutting down on IT projects and employees... Thoughts!

I'm confused - what is the point of applying for AP if you aren't also applying for EAD?

Yes, I believe you can apply for EAD yourself

AP is a must. If you travel out of the country and your GC gets approved while you're away... your H1 becomes invalid and you cannot use it enter US. The only way to return then is AP.

Well my RD is not current I plan to call NSC periodically to find out if my case has been assigned to an IO yet. If the next step is pre-adjudication, then great, but I have doubts about that.

does it reflect on online status? How else can we find out that one's case has been pre-adjudicated... LUD?? or any specific status?? or only IO can tell??

and we can.

Great to see this thread... gotta keep it on top!

TOGETHER, WE SHALL BRING HOME THE TROPHY!

We will keep working on this Retrogression issue...

We will fully support IV Core Group in their efforts

Congratulations! to all those who are eligible to apply I-485, but please keep supporting IV's main agenda.

Normally there should be a LUD on 485 after FP is done (same day/next)..


Gurus:

I don't see any LUD after my FP in November. My RD for 485 is July 02 1007.

However there was LUD on my approved I-40 in December 2007 (140 was approved in September 2006).

What could it mean possibly?

Reagrds,

>> even if she gets a 221(g) at the consulate can she return to US with the AP she has?

Yes. But she may need to use EAD in that case. Please check with your lawyer.

Not a legal advise.

Okay!! I'll have to ask a lawyer then...But most often I get good answers here in the IV forum, then asking the attorney...sometimes, i personally feel, they are not all that good with answers.

Hi attorneys,

I came to US on L-1B visa with expiry date of Nov-28-2009. My same company this year filed H-1B with COS using Premium processing. My H-1B and COS has been approved now.

Q#1: My question is that can I travel to & back from India from Aug-2-2009 to Aug-19-2009 and enter Port of entry on my L-1B visa?

Q#2: When I come back I will enter on L-1B visa, will this abandon my approved COS and H-1B?

Q#3: If I travel based on Q#1 and Q#2 will I still be automatically converted to H-1B on Oct-1-2009? Actually I prefer to switch on to H-1B from Oct-1-2009???

Q#4: Since I will get a new I-94 when I enter USA on Aug-19-2009 what happens to my COS I-94. The number may be conflicting. Is that a problem?

Q#5: Next year that is Dec-2010 I have travel plan to India again, which I-94 will I submit when I leave USA?

Q#6: Next year (Dec 2010) when I leave for India, I would need visa stamping? Will this travel in Aug-2009 affect it? Can the Visa Officer just make it an issue?

Q#7: Will I have any out of status issue in the future that may jeopardize, any future visa stamping or my GC process by traveling in August 2009?

i understand it now.
