if there is an interview scheduled for you in the future, you will have to prove the intention that you will leave the job you have at that time and start working for the company who sponsored for your I-485.

it will take strong persuasion to convince that leaving your current job cold turkey and going back to the old employer.

i hope someone who has gone through this before can help you better...

also, you have to think about the cooperation that you are counting on from the old company. people come and people go.policies change, companies may decide to act differently 3 years from now... what guarantee you have that they will support you no matter what happens in future. what if there is a hideous RFE and they chicken out???

i think it is always better to declare your change of job intention with AC21. get help from other threads and furnish as much information to USCIS as possible while writing AC21 letter...they will treat you better if you are upfront about it... remember, complete transparency always is appreciated by a fellow human being...dont be scared by the conspiracy theorist blaming them for blatant mistakes...they do make mistakes however, but it just takes following it up and clearing it with various avenues one has if he/she gets the right consul of a good attorney...(incidentally i am not one....so please consult with your attorney before taking any steps)

Good Luck...


My situation,

I am a july 2 filer, planning to use EAD to work in diifferent company in same profession(NOT invoking AC21). On I-485 approval want to come back to the original employer who filed I-485. my company is supporting and willing to support for any RFEs.

Please tell me if it is going to work and what are the risks involved.

Thanks in advance

And are you doing anything to try and speed up your case since PD are current ?

My PD is before Oct 2001

I sent letters to President and IV, how abt you?

that lately any visa interview that has to be taken in india is no more bound to any consulate, especially if you are already been in usa. you are free to book web-appointment's in any of indian consulates to get it done.

pl check respective sources / attorney to make sure before you decide.
just my 2 cents to see if i can help you skip madras :-)

i wld assume our friends here might have very valuable inputs regarding this.
lets wait

In the 2006 CIR was passed by Senate and it failed in Congress.

The strategy was adding poison pill. They deliberately added so many poison pill that
even EB folks were opposing the bill.

I respect your opinion. CIR failed in 2006. But if Democrats do bring the CIR up again and it fails again, it doesnot look good upon them either. So the hope is that they will check the feasibility of passing. And, we(EB folks) may have a chance to piggy back with the Undocumented and latino lobby.

GOD! This is the best news I have heard this year ! I am yet to read the document in detail. Thanks for digging this out...

After being in the dark for so long...

At least some good news are arriving prior to the X'mas holiday! :p
This might have a huge impact on people who held a H4 b4 switching to H1B!

Hi Shana04,

Did you invoke AC21 with H1 transfer? I mean did you transfer your H1B to a different company which is not your GC sponsoring company? If so give me more details..

Question:
Am working for a GC sponsoring company and applied for 485 and received EAD, AP etc... Am not willing to move to EAD..can i change the company with a H1B transfer and invoking AC21? Pls give details..

Thanks

Ramesh,

I have responded the same to "kishdam "

I was in the same situation as yours.

Just file H1B with different company but with same job title and jobe code.

Then ask your attorney to send AC21, it is just a letter with new offer letter.

Good luck

People do not like gloomy predictions. :)

Here is a positive prediction for a change. EB3 I may move a bit.;)

Pappu,
Did you or any one in IV get any chance to discuss with USCIS regarding quarterly spillover?

For a moment, leave the IIT/merit/experience arguments aside...fact is US graduate schools get taxpayer funds...and one way or other students graduating in US get benefit from those taxes. Senators do not want their tax $$ investments to leave the country...that only is the reason they did something for US graduates in H1...this separate quota may or may not fly...as there is no direct benefit for US...stay on H1B and pay taxes good for usa :cool:

I asked you for the proof that 80,000 FBs are reserved for EB immigrants ( or somehow available !). You did not show me any !

There is no law that states USCIS should not consider country quotas during the last quarter. As per AC21 law USCIS should relax the quotas if the numbers are getting wasted (not already assigned to ROW). If USCIS works efficiently and assigns the visa numbers to EB3 ROW - which is retrogressed - before the end of third quarter, they don't need to relax country quotas in the fourth quarter.

In a way USCIS inefficiency is helping applicants from retrogressed countries get GCs faster (4th quarter relaxation) :).


http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/CISOMB_Annual_Report_2007.pdf

Look at page 52. Page 53 explains, why USCIS is wasting visa numbers even though there is huge demand for the same.

The 7% country limit does not exist for the last quarter. But it does exist during the first 3 quarters. Since USCIS is moving the PD drastically only in the last quarter, they are unable to process all the applications in the last quarter resulting in wastage of EB visas.

I have been in this country for almost 10 years and I have never felt more stressed about these status issues than I did today. I even stopped working from this afternoon reading forums for similar cases, finding info here and there etc. :(

This is confusing..I have a similar situation(not paid for 2 weeks)..

When i talked to my lawyer she said that employement verification is done in I-140 and since that is approved I dont need to worry abt it for 485??

What does your lawyer say?

SpringFlower: Can u share which state/city your FP is scheduled in? I think people in crowded places like Bay area, CA get FPs later than less crowded areas.

We got FP notices for me & my wife on 01-25-08. Finger printing date is Feb 6th, 2008. Same date, same time for both of us. Just perfect!

We filed our I-485 application/EAD/AP on July 6th, 2007.
Ours is a transferred case (NSS-CSC-NSC).

Did not open any service request.

Looks like they started processing transferred cases.
People who have been waiting should be getting their FP notices now.

You can goto a portrait studio, if u dont want digital pictures. For example JCPenny. They take with a polaroid camera. I get them there.

everyone I go to offers Digital Photos (ID PHotos)....my attorneys had said Digitals are not acceptable...but looks like that is all u can get nowadays...
BTW Costco is the cheapest!!!

I am the primary applicant. I am planning to get married in next 1 year or so with a girl from India. If I get my GC then she will fall under family based which will take years for her to come here. I do not mind moving back if that happens.
Since I have valid H1 can I do something,
