:).

in other news I'm thinking of doing another entry.

LC Sub/EB2 with PD June 2001 filed on July 27 with RD of Sept 8 got approved y'day. 140 filed on July 5th was approved on jan. no RFE, all were smooth.

I was afraid because of my last years on L1B and filed H1b though this year quota and not sure if i'm lucky to have a number lottery. This gave me major relaxation.

Best of luck you all.

Had 1 Soft LUD on Jan 31 on 485 application.

USCIS is doing a great job thank to IV to make these possible.


NJoy the USCIS broken system of LC SUB buddy.
We (Non-LC-SUB) are not so lucky and are stuck for more than 8 years in it and still no hope.
Nothing against you -- its just that you need to be lucky to take the right decision otherwise you will be punished like many of us.

Folks,
Desperately need some help here. I do NOT have access to my PERM or I-140 applications and my current employer's lawyers refuse to give me the documents.

I want to get H1 transfer and AC-21 to move to another company since I HAVE the EAD but cannot use it since my wife is a dependent on my H1B.

I am desperately trying to find where to get the "job duties" and the DOT/SOC codes that the new company's lawyer says would be needed to make sure I don't have to go through the PERM/I-140 process again.

PLEASE advise.

Thanks!

From my understanding the I-140 acceptance criteria for EB2 through labor certification, EB2 through NIW, and EB1 are completely different. You may have to redo the entire application process for EB-1(recommendations etc).

That is correct.. any stay on "H" (H1, H4) or any "L" (L1, L2) will count towards 6 years.

u can stay with A, no problem.

I am in the same boat, so can we use PD and I-140 from employer A even through my employment and H1B are not with Employer for a few months?

The process of delay in the background check is known as the extended background check becasue I have not hear and read regarding this extended back ground check before. So anyone has hear this word or has anyone has idea about this???

This is good news. Once Dream act for undocumented is out. Then they will take up bills for H1Bs.

Hi,

I�m in 4th year of H1b and I485 - 180 days completed. I�m looking for full time jobs and many of the companies are asking for EAD for full time jobs and some of my friends suggested use H1b instead of EAD. Pls help me in answering the below questions

1. What is the problem I will face if I use EAD instead of H1b?
2. Job titles are most of them are different like Senior Software Engineer, MSI Systems Integrators, Data engineer etc, where as my appointment letter/I140 shows as a Programmer. Will it be difficult to raise AC21 though the some of responsibilities are similar.
3. Employer can revoke I140 even If I�m working with him and crossed 180 days of I485.


Please Advice.

Okay Im having some trouble with this code:


private int? X, Y;
private void Draw(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
{
this.X = e.X;
this.Y = e.Y;
this.PaintPanel.Invalidate();
// MessageBox.Show("Mouse Move called, points (x, y) " + this.X.ToString() + this.Y.ToString());
}
private void DrawPixel(int x, int y, ref Graphics G)
{
G.FillRectangle(new SolidBrush(Color.Black), x, y, 1, 1);
}

private void PaintPanel_Paint(object sender, PaintEventArgs e)
{
MessageBox.Show("Paint called, hurrah");
Graphics G = e.Graphics;
if(this.X != null && this.Y != null)
this.DrawPixel((int)this.X, (int)this.Y, ref G);
G.DrawEllipse(new Pen(Color.Orange), 2, 2, 10, 10);
}


The events get called correctly but nothing is drawn.. help? thnx

any experts. please help.

If its few months of outside work.. should be fine... But you can't and should not just leave and work outside until you get GC.. May work, but chances are rare.. So risk is up to you to take and decide...

Regd conversion to PERM ie refile in PERM and retain the PD your title, minimum job requirements, employer's name, employer's address etc should remain the same except the prevailing wage.
Some of the factors to consider before refiling:
1)Length of time the traditional or RIR Labor certification application has been pending: If you feel that traditional or RIR will be certified soon don't refile in PERM else do it.
2)Alien requiring a seventh-year extension:
It is uncertain at this time whethre USCIS will permit the alien to withdraw the labor certification and retain the PD date for the purpose of replying on the provision under AC21 to obtain a seventh-year extension. Until USCIS pronounces a clear policy in this area, one should proceed with extreme caution before refiling under the PERM regulatoins.
3)Economic factor like Layoffs in the industry, Recent layoffs by employer, increased costs for the employer
If the above economic factors seem to cause any issues dont refile.

This is from a OLD PERM manual i believe so please check with your attorney on recent ones and proceed ahead. However i do see a lot of people doing it successfully.

Politicians are used to pander to their audience.
All he did was to use some keywords - "strategic alliance"; "peace"; "fight terror"; "immigration reform" etc.
He needs to list out the specific issues that he thinks are issues; and then propose a solution that would not only fix the said issue, but also prevent it from recurring.
Broad statements don't mean anything. Everyone knows the immigration system in this country is broken. But no politician has listed out (nor acknowledged) the root causes of the broken system.

But unfortunately, being a politician, he will not say anything that would put him in a corner.

Pappu, very good article. I saw this in this month's Kiplinger.

A penny saved is 'far better than' a penny earned because you don't have to pay taxes for the penny you saved whereas you have to pay taxes for the one you earned!

these things are like taking a duck to the pond ... for a Desi..

Pack bags or continue with slavery :) :)
