I doubt that it has BEC cases (may be some not All) .. Mine was a BEC case that got approved but I do not see in the data posted on this website.

endlesswait;

there is a definite procedure, we follow it with appropriate paperwork and itll get done.
only thing is after ur date becomes current. YOU may have to WAKE up the application by using lotta phone calls/infopass/congressman etc.

a colleague of mine got this done last year. his case was like this. its eb2 to eb2...but
i think it wud be similar to eb3-eb2

OLD eb2 labor applied - dec 2002
eb2 perm labor approved - july 2005
140/485 for perm labor filed - sept 2005
140 perm approved nov 2005
old eb2 labor backlog approved - dec 2006
140 for old labor approved - jan 2007 ( premium pr)
succesfully Ported the PD from old to new - feb 2007 ***lawyer charged him 1200 bucks for this effort; i have his details, if u need it***
then he spent a month or so running around to infopass, ph calls, congresman etc ...in an effort to Wake up the appln.. its like telling, "hey guys, i ported date to old date, so now my PD is current, im right now elig for 485 approval, can u pls do it???"...

in april, he got appproval for 485, no RFE, card arrived direct in mail.

thx

I will accept your statement and will follow.
Can IV as a group arrange some legal consultation for Mehul and his family ... guess we can have a fund drive and raise some money to cover the legal fees ... I am for it... let me know what other thinks ...

What I did till now.
1) Contacted Senator/Congressman/Governor
2) Filled 7001 form for Ombudsman
3) Called USCIS 10 times in last 10 days and come to know that everything is cleared on my and wife applications.
4) Strange thing applied EAD on July 15th 2008 and got approved today august 12 2008.

Did you do all this for EAD?

My checks got cleared at TSC today.

Previously
My 140 was approved at TSC, sent 485 to Nebraska on June 22, they received on June 25. I called to check status yesterday, the lady said to wait. On asking if case will be transferred to TSC and if TSC will generate receipts, she said she doesn't know, but it may take at least 2-3 weeks to process receipts at Nebraska.

1. Good health (which we often take for granted)
YEs

2. US born kids (at least they are citizens, if that's important to you)

Not married no kids
3. US education (a different experience for sure)

No us education



4. Good savings (all said and done, your bank balance is very important no matter where you stay in the world)

No savings no big salary
5. Good work experience (this is transferable and more or less ensures a decent future)

Yeah just started career
6. Loving/caring family/friends (who will always love you the same and couldn't care less about GC or citizenship)

Dont know about that

Been herr from 7 years..

Dear,

What are you doing for 7 years in US if you have not studied here and just started career ? or I have mis-understood what you said above?

But to me if you are not saving some money while in US, its not worth it staying here, away from family/friends.

Good Luck

I really don't understand these Attorneys. Its clearly mentioned on 485 form that ALL 485 petitions should go to NSC. period.

And as far as I know, due to awareness and the fact we all are professionals who can go to USCIS site and read the instructions in black and white, we should not just rely on this morons (attorneys.. though there are some good ones around)

If you read http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/BiSpec_063006FS.pdf, you'll see that there is a line on page 2 that specifically says "Until further notice, USCIS will not reject applications or petitions filed at an incorrect Service Center. Instead, USCIS will accept the filing, redirect it to the correct location, and honor the initial receipt date."

So if you already know that your I-485 will be adjudicated by the service center where your I-140 was processed, you just save some processing time by sending it there. See also Matthew Oh's May 14, 2007 post in which he says that USCIS may try to accelerate bi-specialization phase III in order to avoid sending massive numbers of files from the central NSC location to the locations where the I-140 processing was done.

My attorney sent my forms to TSC on June 6, 2007. Tick tock tick tock till I get the receipt notice.

Just made my small contribution of $21 using paypal. Not sure what paypal charges IV on this transaction. I'm hoping the extra dollar would cover the paypal fees and the remaining $20 will go towards the great efforts of IV.

I have recently been talking to members who have already filed I485 and have used AC21 to change jobs. I noted some limitations people face while changing jobs, getting higher salaries, making use of AC21 for changing more than 1 job.. etc etc.

It seems there is lack of information on this subject. Let us use this thread to

- share expeiences
- List issues you have all faced so that IV can have this information while working on advocay efforts.
- Make others aware of your problems and do's and don'ts in the community.
- Interpretation of various lawyers on this and how they have helped you solve your difficult situations.


Hope this information will help everyone

Or is He/she faking the name - to stay out of trouble from a possible law suit :p

Just kidding I know its not funny
Robin Williams? Are you sure it didn't go to Hollywood!

This could have a huge impact.. I posted this on the donor forum as well.

You stole words from my mouth. Do not tell them that you have EAD.

The trick is to say that you have unrestricted work authorization, i.e., can work for any employer without needing additional sponsorship. Stating that you have an EAD may be confusing to some and they may just take the easy way out by not pursuing further, or, wilfully rejecting to avoid any kind of complications later on that could jeopardize the specific project by suddennly being unable to work.

DC is fine. NY/Nj is fine too. But we need to turn up in numbers.

If it is DC, I think the effect will be better. I will drive down to DC and can car pool with other IV members fron NY/NJ.

Can one of the senior members take a lead and set a date and publicize the protest.

Hi,

Thank You for taking initiation. Please add my name in the spreadsheet.
Chandrasekhar Nachu, 7329105444. My contribution is $100.

Friends,

I have created a Shared Spreadsheet with the list of people who have pledged in favor of this effort.
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pgWehhQEb3jqwsRC8fcKLTQ&hl=en#

Everyone can view it, but unfortunately, i didn'y think it was ideal for everyone to edit. I will be more than happy to grant Edit access to a few more folks who are willing to help. Also, from security point of view, i think we should add our IV handle instead of real name. Since we have email ID's and ph#, we can be in touch as soon as it it time for action.

Please keep sending me ur details to add to this list. Remember, we only proceed if we have atleast 1000 pledged members.

I will keep publishing this sheet from time to time on this thread so people know.

Please keep pouring in with ur suggestions.

Quick question for thosewho have already recieved their receipt notice????


What does the priority date column say on your receipt notices? I mean does it show the actual priority date or is blank????



I am happy to announce that I have received the EAD cards today (just like rc0878 had suggested). I should not have doubted the encouragement and estimation of the experience here.
So, I received the EAD cards dated Sept 18th, expiry is one year from the issue date i.e. Sept 17th, 2008 (unlike someone else's cards which were valid for only 3 months).
Let me know if someone wants to ask any other information.
thanks again. :D

Predictions of the bill

I think some result will come in the bill sooner or later. if not this year may be next year bill will be passed. Probably most of the immigration provisions will be Amended to get a some releif for everyone. H1 cap may be increased to 115k. No of greencards will not be 650k. may be Double the current number than 650k. There will be strong opposition for big increase of immigration. The reason is lot of americans lost job in IT because of outsourcing and h1s. The impact might be mild as most of them landed in another job as ecomomy slowly improved. If no possiblity of passing the bill it will be killed in 2 or 3 months. On the other hand If delayed for next year the bill will be passed in some form. Bush will try to give relief to illegals before he leaves office.

I have postponed my finger prints when I was in India back in Oct 2007, and I haven't got yet, should I ask them send it again or should I wait untill they send it to me.

I heared some where in the forum that when your comeback to India they took fingerprints at the prot of entry and that is sufficient.

Is that true?

Guru's Please reply if you have any Idea.

What service center was it from? Was it a concurrent filing of I140 and 485?

NSC and it was just 140...yet to dispatch 485 application

I am dumbstruck. I do not have words to express anything. May god give you enough strength to face this. Explore all the remedies. Believe in yourself. You will be fine
Regarding GC, I think its better to consult immigration attorneys
Good luck

Can an employer revoke the I-140 after 180 days of I-485 pending?

Yes. However, AC-21 can save the I-485 for the beneficiary even if I-140 is revoked/canceled as long as the date of such request is dated after 180 calendar days of I-485 filing date.

Not a legal advice.

thanks ub27, gc_on_demand

This is pathetic.
Agreed. $5000 is about the same amount a single student paid to TVU, the diploma mill. This used to be the price 1 employee paid a fraud DCC for processing a Green card.
What more can I say....
