She may not get a visitor's visa. Visitor's visa requires non-immigration intent, just like F-1. In your case, there is a very clear intent to immigrate, which may disqualify her from getting a visitor's visa.

Good point. Restart thinking process...what a mess...

They do not accept Indian 3 yr bachelors & 2/3years of Masters + 5 years for EB2. This has been discussed lot of times. They expect single 4 year degree.

15yrs of education(India Bachelors) + 5 or more years of education for EB3 is accepted if certain qualifiers are included in the Labor.

Just take care if you are dealing with attorney who saying above thing.

It all depends on what you have in the PERM requirement. If you have like MS, BS or any foreign equivalent as evaluated by reputed firm or equivalent experience then you can get approval
.

Looks like i need to find a new job to file under EB2 :D

please send letters and vote here

Pappu,
As DOS has posted the NVC backlog numbers as on November 1, 2009, if the core team look at it and update the analysis. This data is not categorized via month but still may be helpful in prediction.
Thanks

My advice is to take a new job, leave the current employer on good terms and forget about AC21.

One more question, If we opt for AC21, can the previous employer revoke I140 (After 180 days) ? will that impact I485 ?

Please advise.

You would need employee letter as well. The employee letter will state that the position is still open and they are willing the pay the amount that was initially agreed to while filing for labor.....so pay stub is not enough.....

desi3933 and WillIBLucky:

My lawyer as well as my wife's lawyer confirmed that an employment letter is not required if using pay stubs. Several posters on this forum have gotten the same information from their lawyers. Anyway, let's not get into a debate on who's correct or incorrect.

It's a different thing to have the employment letter to make the case stronger (probably), but you will definitely not get a RFE for using the pay stubs. And in "sats123"'s case, this is a less expensive and reliable option.

Of course, one could argue it's worth paying $5000 if it ensures a smooth adjucation, but then that would depend on the financial situation of the applicant. I cannot comment on that for "sats123".

Having written all this, please check with your own lawyers and do what they advise.

Thanks,

hi

i want to come and i am from franklin tennessee which is 30 miles from nashville tn is a bus ride from some where near to this place

thanks

currently it appears that the bus will be from atlanta
please pm ramus and keep in touch with him for more info on that

Thanks, but seems like this is not what i was looking for. I was looking for the Jun 16/17th memo about initial evidence. Do you have that one?

Note sure what you're looking for. The memo I cited went into effect on June 16th. If that's not what you're looking for, you can try "press room" at USCIS's website where all memos are listed by date.

This will be a catch 22 situation. If they retrogress to 2004, then how would they know to process the 485 application based on PD. They will keep on processing the 485 based on RD. If they see some PD of 2004 or earlier, they will approve else they will continue the 485 processing.



Come on now, you may not have of heard of it, but I am sure USCIS has heard about databases. While I am no database guy, but I am sure something to the tune of

SELECT * from BLEEPED_UP_TABLE where PD <= CURRENT_PD and STATUS = "Still hanging on" will get them the cases that they need to work on.

I have just read it.
Did you read the Tancredo send a letter to the SJC to warn them?

Labor certifications approved on or after July 16, 2007, will expire 180 days from their date of issue, unless filed prior to expiration with the DHS in support of a Form I-140 immigrant petition for an alien worker.

Not good for those without dual-intent visas (F1, etc).

My wife's case is moving back to TSC again from CSC. But I don't see anything on EAD and AP cases. May be they will be processed at CSC.

I want to bring out the plight of legal immigrant community that has been silently suffering the consequences of a broken immigration system. It really baffles me that all the focus in immigration debate is on ILLEGALS when highly educated LEGAL immigrants who play by the rules, pay taxes and follow the law are left in the lurch. Attending to legal immigrants plight will also send a positive signal to the ILLEGAL community to see the perks of being LEGAL. Right now, it seems more rewarding to be ILLEGAL than pursue the LEGAL route towards immigration. What an irony!
The country based quotas imposed on Employment Based green cards are not only unfair but self defeating because the benchmark is country of origin and not qualification! Since these EB category based green cards are awarded for professional skills, imposing a country based quota just does not make any sense. I urge you to work with Congress and change this discriminatory policy and reinforce that America is truly a society that celebrates meritocracy.
The immigrant community is really looking at President Obama to deliver on his promise of CHANGE - Change that we can believe in.
good initiative ..I have sent the email and I will be asking my wife to call all her friends and spread the word. guys do the same.
I also mentioned that I wanted to buy a house since a long long time but I cannot buy because of gc delays

Waiting for the FP notices.

one doenst have to argue but can definitely question why its not there on their website if its not htere..they just cant decide one fine morning to just start as king for stuff...

I agree. They have to follow well set guidelines.

I would say - those having issues must all get together and write to the Authorities asking them to update rules on website and not arbitrary.

Then my apologies to Tony.

Sure. I guess most of us would rather worry about such stuff on a weekend, considering our immigration options here.

Unexpected big jump for EB3 ROW. But I will take it. :D

EB3:
it was moved with 1 (one) year from AUG-01-2002 to AUG-01 2003 - was it? Or they just entered wrongly???

Perhaps, USA can levy another "fee" on H1-B folks to cover up the fighter jet deal loss just like they levy the mexico border protection fees on H1-B's.

Obama and USA should know that they can not cover every expense in USA by levying fees on H1-B folks. It's disgusting.

Which country in this world charges high skilled ppl to pay for their border protection?

should be taken with a huge grain of salt. The job of the media is to create sensationalism so that the news can be spread.

The general issues still are true.

Nah, I don't think so. Not a good article.

1. His salary CAN be raised.
2. His wife CAN work, as article mentions that he applied for GC in 2004
3. I never heard about 1 million - I guess we were talking about 140000 unused visas right? Where this 1 million came from?
4. If the company is bought - one doesn't generally reapply for GC.

Even little lies don't serve a good cause as this article can be easily discredited.

He's the most dreaded Anti-immigrant.
