As far as I know, still you need to do. When I enquired for my son, they said I have to. So I did for my kid

PERM prewailing wage determination EB2

Position 15-1034

My university is applying for a new perm application for eb2. I work for a university

Myemployer sent a wage request to OES . They replied by saying that the prevwailing wage is not available for your zone so they basically gave me a level 1 wage when it should be the leavel 3 wage for eb2...The person said that should not be a problem

Is thisgoing to be ok ?

Hi,

Congrats Kapil. Our I-485 recept dates were on 04/12/2007. Prior to last month as it was UNAVAILABLE we thought we should wait for a long time to see some movement. But now that they are avaialble we are looking forward (infact when I logged onto my portfolio, which I do almost every day to see if there are any Last Update Dates) to get ours approved. But haven't had any luck thought. We also have renewed our EADs second time just got approved on 03/24/08 (recipt dates were on 02/15/08).

Not sure if there will be any change in the LUDs on all of our cases like I40s (converted from EB3 to EB2) and on our prior H1s and I - 485s before it gets approved but just hanging in there. Hopefully I will post here some time soon about our 485 approval news.

Any ways Congratulations and BOTTMS UP :)

Wish you a Happy New to you and your family too.

Hi,

I have already posted this news on News thread -3:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=4805&page=58

Please don't open new threads for news stories that are already posted elsewhere on the forum.

From immigration-law website.

The State Department has released the update. The sudden backlog reduction efforts by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices during the past month have resulted in the use of almost 60,000 Employment numbers. As a result of this unexpected action it has been necessary to make immediate adjustments to several previously announced cut-off dates. All Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices have been notified of the following: Effective Monday July 2, 2007 there will be no further authorizations inresponse to requests for Employment-based preference cases. All numbers available to these categories under the FY-2007 annual numerical limitation have been made available. Employment preference numbers will once again be available to these chargeability areas beginning October 1, 2007, under the FY-2008 annual numerical limitation.
If visa number is unavailable in the Visa Bulletin, it appears that the USCIS is unable to accept the 485 applications under the USCIS regulation. It is thus likely that all the applications which they received or will receive today may be rejected and returned. The current situation is different from the other worker cases rejection in June in that in that case, the State Department did not officially revised the Visa Bulletin. However, we will have to wait and see the anticipated announcement from the USCIS.
This Visa Bulletin revision also implies that there will be no EB-485 approvals during July, August, and September 2007!!!!! Accordingly all the recent approvals practically ended as of July 1, 2007 and there will be no adjudication of any employment-based I-485 applications. For the reasons, those EB-485 waiters who fail to receive the approval notices within this week will have to endure further hardships and emotional trauma. Now, people understand what Washington did to them. Had they passed the SKIL bill, all of these problems would have disappeared. We still wonder who invented the point system that helped to induce the business community to oppose the CIR and partially killed the bill. History will tell.

I totally agree with you. I hope date will move fast now since there is not enough people in 2002-2003. I hope this will be same for India and china too. Let`s hope for the best.

Nice poll. Can we have some modification as India and China has much difference in retrogression.

My wife is studying for Nursing and hence I know the anser. Either General Nursing or BSN will allow you to give the RN exam. However, before that have your crendtials evaluated by www.wes.org, so that an US equivalency is established. Based on that you can apply for the RN exam.

General Nursing is equivalent to an Associate in Nursing. For future promitions, BSN is better.

first of all EAD is not a status just a work authorization.

If you do not get H1 transferred before you lose your job you automatically fall on to AOS pending status and I-485 keeps you legal.

If you find an employer later to sponsor H1 ypu just file for H1 transfer and can start work using EAd and the day the H1 approval comes you move to H1. There is no need to move to H4 in the interim.

You dont have to inform USCIS about using EAD to work. The I-9 that you file with employer takes care of that.

If you have not completed 6 years on H1 you will not be subjected to cap

As a humble suggestion : Why not pursue an offensive approach ?

Let us show in approx numbers how many Million / Billions of $$$ immigratants can influence the system, and how they can take the money out to put it elsewehre to grow companies/talents..

We always get compared with a grapes picker, let us face facts, we generate so much income for state, savings in banks, investment in property, invest in new seed companies and grow corporate profits, pay huge taxes, and exercising options, means - millions and billions to govt via state taxes, and capital gains. - Who benefits ? The GOVT. When we talk $$$ we make sense to them. If we whine on how the system should be fair and CIR, or SKIL, this will fall in deaf ears. Afterall in US, $ talks.

Look at @ Apple, steve jobs is almost getting aways with all the back , the reason the financial muscle :-( !

What a shameful story. DOJ announcement on the indictment of six individuals (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/04/us/04trafficking.html) for engaging in a conspiracy to commit forced labor and document servitude. The charges arise from the defendants� alleged scheme to coerce the labor and services of approximately 400 Thai nationals to work on U.S. farms.

The Justice Department announced that a federal grand jury in Honolulu
indicted Mordechai Orian, an Israeli national; Pranee Tubchumpol, Shane Germann and Sam
Wongsesanit of Global Horizons Manpower Inc., located in Los Angeles; and Thai labor
recruiters Ratawan Chunharutai and Podjanee Sinchai for engaging in a conspiracy to commit
forced labor and document servitude. The charges arise from the defendants� alleged scheme tocoerce the labor and services of approximately 400 Thai nationals brought by the defendants to the United States from Thailand from May 2004 through September 2005 to work on farms
across the country under the U.S. federal agricultural guest worker program. Orian, Tubchumpol and Chunharutai are also charged with three substantive counts of compelling the
labor of three Thai guest workers.

If convicted, Orian and Tubchumpol each face maximum sentences of 7 0 years in prison,
Chunharutai faces a maximum sentence of 65 years in prison, Germann and Wongsesanit each face a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison, and Sinchai, who was recently charged in Thailand with multiple counts of recruitment fraud, faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison if convicted in the United States.

Instead of achieving the American dream, the workers arrived into an American nightmare. This company forced them to live groups of men in labor camps, charging each of them thousands of dollars and forbidding them from living off company grounds. Instead of permanent residency and green cards, the workers received temporary, ten-month H-2B guest worker visas, which allow no path to more permanent status. And since H-2B visas bind workers to a single employer, company answered workers� complaints with threats of deportation. Such acts are in contrary to the spirit of the H2B visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137785.html) and we call for harsh punishment for these individuals.

If the H1 - transfer gets denied, isn't there an option of filling a appeal? I guess, one has 15 days to get out of the country, but he or she ca file & appeal & stay in the country but cannot work...

Pls. correct me if I am wrong...

Sodh thanks for your responses

Q) What happens to the pending AoS application if I switch jobs from current employer to a different employer on H-1B.?
If you satisfy all conditions of AC-21, then nothing happens to your AOS:
- your i-140 is approved
- 180 days have passed since your filing of 485
- new jobs is same/similar to old one

Q) What happens to my pending AoS if I switch job with different responsibilites on H-1B?
Assuming rest of AC-21 requirements are met, if hte new job is not deemed similar to old one by USCIS when they adjudicate your 485, it can result in a denial.

Q) 180 day rule of AC21 portability is applicable as of the receipt data or notice date?

receipt date

Q) Do I need to file AC21 if working for the same employer in a different position?

typically no. Note that the new position cannot be too differnet from your LC one.

One cannot work on H4.
i was told by my lawyer - if spouse stops working, s/he can go back to H4, but you need to confirm with a lawyer, given your specific case.
Thanks for your response, Nil

It has no effect on a future Citizenship application. Remember it is a payment against unemployment insurance which is paid by your previous employer/s.
As such it is not a burden on the state.


Does anyone know if claiming unemployment benefits after layoff have any possible impact on a future citizenship application?

I will be going to a USCIS roundtable on customer service on Sept 23.

I am being told that this roundtable is with other USCIS customers facilitated by USCIS staff. From what I know, the focus will be on customer service.

Did anybody else sign up for this?

If you have any comment/feedback/experience related to customer service that you want to share, please contact me.
