These are great shots. Between you and Janet, you could produce a nice book (if either of you hasn't already).

My intent is not to divide IV. I was just highlighting EB non-ROW.

Forgive my ignorance. Is there any specific Issues that hamper EB-ROW ?

Please enlighten me.

Why would you divide employment based immigration in to ROW vs non-ROW? Do you think folks from ROW don't deserve any relief? This is the kind of mentality which divides this small community of EB immigrants. This community is extremely small as it is in grand scheme of things so please don't try to divide it any further and make this community so small that it becomes irrelevant. Just a piece of advise.

No, I got my EAD approved and still waiting on I-140 approval from NSC.

I also filed with NSC and just finished my FP yesterday. I am still waiting for my EAD and AP. Does your I-140 needs to be approved first before you get your EAD and AP?

The interview with Jay about the rally just started.

I believe he just meant to say "not possible with one 140".
He just mentioned it in a confusing way.

"A petition approved on behalf of an alien under sections 203(b)(1), (2), or (3) of the Act accords the alien the priority date of the approved petition for any subsequently filed petition for any classification under sections 203(b)(1), (2), or (3) of the Act for which the alien may qualify. In the event that the alien is the beneficiary of multiple petitions under sections 203(b)(1), (2), or (3) of the Act, the alien shall be entitled to the earliest priority date."

The petition mentioned here is an I140 for EB1/EB2/EB3.

So it doesn't hurt to have more I140s approved. Whenever you do a "subsequent" petition, you just claim the earliest priority date (of the already approved ones).


I understand two I-140s, one existing (EB-3) and second new I-140 (EB2), but you have also mentioned more. Why need more than two, in what circumstances?

From my experience you need to give alternate to just masters. I am not from the software field. My company attorney had put 3 different undergraduate degrees with various years of experience apart from two different masters degrees with 3+ years experience. The concern was that DOL might come back telling that this position is tailor made for me.
Again this was in the early days of PERM and I was one of the first PERM cases my attorney filed.

H4 status ends the moment you start using EAD for employment. You would need to use AP for travel and re-entry.
This is correct. Status changes from H4 to AOS the moment one starts working on EAD.

call the attorney who is working on your case and ask if it's a good idea to go...

You will be surprised...Most attorneys are of the opinion that this rally is important and people who are impacted by EB GC dealys should meet with lawmakers to discuss the issue.

exactly! All Attorneys both privately and on their websites (murthy / matthew oh / greg siskind/carl shusterman etc) are all saying we NEED to make it to this rally. This is the last and best hope!

It is EB2, labor approval date is my PD - No idea, why profile does not show up.

Wow! Another 2006 approval. Congrats!

Just faxed.

Does it apply for people who used AC-21?Do they need to go back to their filing employer after getting green card?


It is mandatory by law. Both side have to have a bona fide intention (for company - to hire, for employee - to work for) for EB GC. Employer proves its intent by filing I-140. Employee proves his/her intent by joining the employer. Each situation is unique, but in OP's situation, there is no bona fide intent to work for company Y. Therefore, it will be a fradulent GC which can be revoked. How OP is going to prove that he was going to join Y after GC is approved? AC21 allows for porting, but porting to company X will look fishy as well. If OP can get a letter from Y that position is no longer available, it may help. This being said, there is a possibility to get a GC without any issues.

What was the REF about?

As a backup you can file new EB3 PERM

I didn't read the RFE but the lawyer said they have requested for Audited Financial Statements which my company does not have.

I don't use Actions unless I write them myself. Sometimes I don't feel like doing effects over and over so I write the action and use that.

Styles are great and you can come up with some really nice effects with them.... like in my phio miral wallpaper right eilsoe:)

Just today, I spoke to one of my freind, he is also from Bangladesh and his PD is sometime in 2006. He got his GC. So it could very well be true. If you want PM me and I can give you his phone number, you are his compatriot after all.

If your friend is under EB2 category, then yes, his GC is no surpise. However, if PD is not current, I am not sure how someone's GC can be approved without calling it a USCIS' mistake.

Comments from anybody with more knowledge on this will be highly appreciated.

An event in DC would be convinient for members who live or work in and around the DC area, and also because the concentration of working people in the city and vicinity is higher. People who work in the area can stop by after work and network over dinner.

Why don't we have this kind of events on week end? Many people will be able to attend and share their ideas.

Thank you!

I am not quiting my company but I am moving to India. In that case what will happen ?

Your valuable inputs are greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much!

Well, you have to quit job in USA before moving to India. When you go out of USA, your H1-B status is gone. Read gain, your H1 status is gone. So your spouse can not be on H4.

You should consider getting professional advice both for your immigration issues as well as your personality disorder.

Get a life!!!

Not a legal advice.

Job should be same or similar responsibilities and salary

salary is not requirement. It can not be less off course. It can be equal or more than LC.
Currently only 2 requirements
140 Approved and 485 pending more than 180 days.
Job should be same or similar title. Yes title only job duties do not matter.

This is per my lawyer.

CPO mail today......

Couple of options
1. Don't file your I-485 till you return from India
2. Receipts notices usually depend on type of visa category(EB) and the center which will be processing your case
3. Your husband can have I-485 notice and still get H1 stamped in India
I got my H1 stamped even when I had AP and EAD
4. You have 90% chance of getting receipt before Oct if you are in EB2
5. For travelling you must have AP before Oct unless you have valid H1( < 6 years)

No, I do not have a EAD or AP. I did not apply for them. I am planning to keep extending my H1 and not get into the hassle of EAD and AP every year.

Though its your decision but having EAD and AP in my hand (whether or not to use them) would give me some hope.

After entering US on AP you need to inform you employer. Your status after entering on AP makes you a Parolee ??????????

Inform verbally/New I9 Form? I haven't done this in past. I did used AP 2-3 times in past & haven't informed employer. What employer is going to do if we inform that we are on parolee status? Any USCIS law tells this to do?

Can any lawyer comment on this situation?


If you enter US using your AP even for the same employer you will no longer have your H1B status valid, you an return back to H1B status only after a renewal. After entering US on AP you need to inform you employer. Your status after entering on AP makes you a Parolee.
