Even as it stands RIGHT NOW without the "New AC21 Rules", you cannot use AC21 unless your I-140 is approved. The basic principle of AC21 is "If your I-140 is APPROVED AND your I-485 application has been pending for more than 180 days" you can switch jobs and not lose anything.

:D I am with you on this.

please give us the name of this company so that we can inform ICE and do our duty to stop fraud.

Still pending approval..

What a weird system - even for E-Filing (supposed to be online system- easy to organize), we see random approvals. Hope someone realizes and makes the system organized better...

Another idea.. (this will require a small bunch of people only)

Let a group of 10-25 people tie themselves on chainballs and handcuffs (or fetters) and march 1 mile to the USCIS office. Get this event covered by media..
Hold banners like "Free us", "We want EAD", "i485 NOW" and raise a few slogans

In addition someone can dress as Uncle Sam and pretend to whip the prisoners..

I have 2 questions. Why you think only I485 not greencard. Fight and get Greencard? Start protest self. Others join when one start. Why not you?

^^This is not gonna happen... and even if it did....well I guess the companies will finally take notice when there are no new people to hire and fire and their bottom lines are hit with permanent hires for every small and odd project......guess what that they will do then....outsource more work to other countries......:)

Good or bad, Virtue or Vice, companies simply can't hire permanent employees with full 'American' benefits for short-term projects....this where the consulting leeches come in.....its all supply and demand man....

It is not RFE. Your AP is approved and they mailed it to you.


We have applied for our AP renewal on 05/09 at NSC. I have noticed online status change to our I131s today with the following message. Is this a RFE? if so, what could be the RFE for AP? Your help and input appreciated.

Application Type: I131, APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.

On one hand we have VLD Rao crunching numbers like CRAY XMP and telling that EB2 will be close to current by End of the Year . On the other hand Mapadpa now says that the movement will be slow . I am a mere mortal and i am confused to the core on what to make of it ,


I believe in VLD Rao. He gives me hope. :-)

Hi

Sorry for the delay in response... I did transfer money but not a large amount. Around three or four times I transferred around $3K for personal purposes.

If I were you, I would call the cops and report this immediately. One can say that you are calling for the protection of your family because a similar incidence of a fake ICE officer took place recently. They could easily find out if that was a real guy or some hoax.

.

I understand that there is lot of fear among applicants that USCIS might retrogress the dates interimly sometime in july due to the expected high volume of applications filing in the begining of july.

To minimize the chance of USCIS from taking any such steps, shall we all unite and file the applications on a specific date in july probably on 30th of july? This will accomodate all applicants...so that we shall all be winners and use this opportunity to our advantage instead of competing amongst each other...where only a few will be winners and others will be loosers.

This will also reduce the pressure among applicants , attorneys and doctors.

Can the AILA cooperate? Will there be unity amongst applicants to make this possible??? any ideas ??


rajakannan Nice idea. We should wait another month so that some of our friends who didn't apply the LC will do it immediatly and all of us will file on Aug 29 .....

Amen!!!


definitely ..and i am sure lot of people agree ..flowers, marching etc is much better ..but till we get to that point ..let us send emails / letters atleast ...something better than nothing !!

Stop worrying too much.This bill wont pass

A PhD does not automatically qualify you for EB1. There are a lot of other requirements. Unless you are in a research or teaching job, it's hard for PhD's to qualify for EB1. Besides, there's the small matter of getting an H-1B or O-1.

If she has a PHD in CSE she should look for a job get H1 and file Green Card in EB1 all off this can be done in 6 months! What's holding you back???? :)

Looks like you know a lot about non profit companies that sponsor cap exempt h1bs, can you please provide a list or a few jobs that are posted under this category...or atleast where to start looking for these jobs...?

These kind of cap exempt visas are only sponsered by Universities and very few research organizations....there arent many comapnies out there for non profit reasons..please dont throw suggestions/advices just for the heck of it...

Wasnt it I-140 approved or approvable ? Or am I missing something ? :confused:

The experience would have to be before the labor filing, in order for it to count. I suggest that you should talk to 3-4 attorneys and get the best possible approach.

^^^^

I am trying to figure out the impact of this ruling on the current usage of visa numbers.

I am from ROW so I would like to see how many more from ROW would demand visa numbers due to this new ruling.

Obviously this is important to India and China as well because the only way these two categories would get more visa numbers is from ROW overflow this year as these categories have used up most of their visa numbers for the year.

If I understand correct ROW 1 overflows to ROW 2 and ROW 3 and when ROW 3 current Over flow over to India/China

Any ideas guys??

If you are a software engineer and street smart then you don�t need PMP to continue growing in your field. I am a software engineer and my understanding is as follows. Currently most of us are working under a manager who is either not good at management or not having the required level of technical skills to understand the project complexities for doing proper project management. As the salaries in the software field are good most of the people moved to software field irrespective of what their core skills are. So, people who are good at project management and working as software engineers should do PMP to rejuvenate their skills and bring some good project managers to the software industry.

Even if you are not good at project management, you should do PMP to understand the environment you are working. That is especially to keep yourself in the shoes of your manager. The advantage of doing that is, if your manager is blaming you for his mistakes, you will know what to talk with your manager and avoid yourself burning out because of your manager mistakes. This is something that is very common in the software industry. It doesn�t matter where you are and what you are doing, it is always helpful to know role of a project manager to keep yourself in a better position.

Also PMP is not just $500 thing. I can say you should be ready to spend at least $700 and allocate lot of time (It takes lot of time if you are parallel working) to understand PMBOK and its related material.

Also to keep your certification active, you should get 60 PDU every 3years, but this is not a big deal.

To keep yourself motivated till you get the certification, keep this in mind. �Most of the best paid people are the best managers� you cannot make that kind of money unless you start you journey towards that direction.

PMP can be considered as one of the subjects (in detail) in MBA (like a subset of MBA), and should not be compared with MBA, as MBA will provide you with more skills in more directions in handling business.

I'm EB3 ROW, my PD came current on Sept 2006

Hi SongLan,

sorry if I had missed it before: are you from China on EB3? I am wondering about when your PD became current for you to file? This is to compare with my EB2 receipt date in Aug 2005. Thanks.

What is supplimentry exam? Is it that you did some extra courses after finishing your requisite courses for Bachelors? or are you refering to clearing your backlog subjects ( subjects from previous semesters that you had not cleared?). Where did you get your degree India or US?

supplementary is clearing the backlog subjects.(from previous semesters). So basically my degree completion is completed in 2002 (as I understood recently even though I was allowed to work and join the job I got in 2000 after my course completion). I got my degree in india. the problem is, the degree certificate they gave had date of dec 2000 in big letters and june 2002 in small letters (in parenthesis next to the dec 2000 date). the attorney took the date in big letters (dec 2000). I didn't know much about progressive experience and was not completely aware of progressive experience of EB2 requirement
