dear hydboy77, after reading your posts, I agree with another member -- that you have totally different goals and concerns from the pre-application of AOS. It would be the best to start a new thread for your concerns, and leave this thread soles for AOS pre-application.
Getting rid of semilar\same job requirement is going to be as easy or as difficult as getting prefiling AOS.
Getting rid of same\semilar job is not semilar to getting to green card. If you are a software person then you can put a restriction that you have to work in a software related job, in the same way if you a civil engineer then you should work in the civil engineering field. But the way USCIS does same\semilar job is job code match, responsibilities match etc etc etc, the problem with this is it is a very grey area, it is almost like doing labor all over again. It has not become that bad yet but it will sooner or later, how many H1b rfe\denials did you know in the last 2 years, I bet there are more H1 denials in the last 2 months than the whole of last 4 years.
I understand you are not being selfish but why would anybody want to use EAD instead of H1 other than for getting rid of visa stamping purposes. The overwhelming majority of people are going to use EAD to switch jobs because of layoff . When people are transfering H1b because of layoffs they are getting rfe\denial notices, when you move from H1b to EAD because of layoff USCIS might hit you with the same\semilar job rfe (when you file ac21, when previous employer revokes H1 or I140), that is my point.

Listen my friend I had a similar experience...
The phone receptionist in DC very rude, she behaves like indian babu's, she is very arrogant..
Long story short....
Embassy of India - Washington DC (http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite/RTI.asp)
go to the above link, send them the letter with 10 Rs (20 cents) money order, explain your issue, explain the behavior of receptionist, and ask them why it happened like that..they will have to call you..that is the law..
I did the same thing...
UNLESS WE REPORT THEY WILL NOT CHANGE

Good Idea!!!
Make AF flight crew wait it out in some mosquito infested lounge for 10 hours before clearing their immigration. Call it something like quarantine for French swine flu or something. But do give them a bottle of water and enough spicy Indian food. :D
Repeat this at random for a few weeks. AF will be paid back in Euros :D.
BTW, I used to stay in France (and Holland 98-2000) and had a fairly good experience when I was there. Never really felt any racial discrimination. Only thing that they want you to do in France is try to speak French that's it.
I bear no ill will to the French or the other EU folks. This is a fight with the Airline and let's keep the discussion to that. :)

Prince,
You will be fine as per the rules. Just make sure you hire a very capable and reputed attorney, just in case the one you have isnt the best. I faced something like this, with 140, and went to one of the big firms we quote many times here and the case was approved with an MTR in just 20 days.. DOnt loose heart. But make sure you do the documentation whatever is needed and make no compromises there. Provide more thats relevant.

My Mother in law is severely sick, and my wife needs to travel asap. We need to get her AP, as it's expired.
1. Is there an urgent processing option for the AP? And how ?
2. Can she travel on the receipt of application, and I can send the AP document to her by FEDEX?
Thanks,
Just go to the USCIS office even if you do not get an infopass. Go with I-485 receipt, 2 passport size photos. If you go first thing in the morning, you might be able to get the AP issued to you the same day. MAKE SURE YOU TAKE A LETTER FROM THE HOSPITAL/DOCTOR STATING HER CONDITION. It can be a faxed copy.

I don't know about the gulf. But Singapore and other Asian countries, pay structure is different for different race and skin color. This happens even if you have GC or citizenship from US.
when I mentioned about the pay structure based on Citizenship, I did'nt mean about race or skin color. there is a legal bilateral agreement between US, Canada and certain western nations, that if their citizen are hired in Gulf countries then the starting salary range is different. As far as discrimination in Singapore or other Asian nation you're right, especially Singapore, Malaysia etc..

sagar_nyc, agreed. EB3 is a joke and even worst I have become a joker in front of all my friends who applied in EB2 cheating the system. Funny is, experience wise, I am well ahead of all those making fun of me but...:-(
too bad, eb3 does not even have a place to vent these days as IV forums and its thread only has discussions from EB2 members.
anyway, best of luck to everybody. the world is not fair, I am willing to fight my part to make it fair and just for all.
Totally agree with you. I know guys who worked in production support and QA applied in EB2. At the same time people like me in positions such as Architect went with the ill-fated EB3. It is sad, but is the truth.

"Less number of attendees" had a big impact in our minds and it sidelined one of the positive outcome of the meeting and that is outcome of Q&A with the Guest.
Guest answered many questions personal - EB based immigration and other immigration but in my opinion we could get very precise answers on following questions raised by attendees in more clear manner without leaving any doubts and ifs and buts.
Q:1 What need to be done if one has different "A" numbers on I-140 and 485?
Q:2 Age old confusion - Using AC21 after 180 days - How to use it.
AND WE ALL COULD GET VERY PRECISE ANSWERS IN A VERY PROFESSIONAL MANNER FROM A WONDERFUL GUEST(Attorney) AND THAT WITHOUT PAYING HOURLY FEE.

Hi
I am posting the link for the EAD FAQ available from the USCIS. I still have not received my card but it says online that the approval notice was sent on June 30th....so not sure if its one year or 2 years and if its the actual card or just a notice.
Anyways here is the link.
http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/2yrEAD_FAQ_061208.pdf
Please see the part regarding the validity period of the card and if you believe you got the wrong dates then what needs to be done.
If I am filing for a replacement EAD under 8 C.F.R., Section 274.a.12(c)(9), how long is the EAD valid?
If an individual requests to replace an EAD that has not expired, USCIS will issue a replacement EAD that is valid through the same date as the previously issued EAD. However, if the previous EAD has expired, USCIS will process the request for a renewal EAD and determine the appropriate validity period based on the Department of State Visa Bulletin and the applicant�s priority date. If USCIS determines that an applicant has filed multiple Forms I-765, the agency may deny the applications for the replacement or renewal EAD.
If I believe I have received an EAD with the wrong validity period or other incorrect information who should I contact?
If you believe that you have received the wrong validity period, you should contact the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 or 1-800-767-1833 (TTY).
For additional information, or if your application has been approved and you have not received your EAD, please contact the USCIS National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283 or 1-800-767-1833 (TTY)

chitta123, do not panic. You are in a better situation overall. Find an employer willing to sponsor your H1 and greencard. Start H1 Process (transfer). You will get a new H1- with date of April 2008. Start working as soon as you get a receipt date.
Also start new perm-labor with new employer. apply I-140 with and ask to retain old PD date from employer A -I-140 (Old employer). Since Employer A has laid you off (guessing that they were out of work for you), they cannot and will not benefit from revoking the I-140. Since they cannot use it to hire any other foreigner, since they just layed off.
There might be some other easy way you can do this. Please do not take my views as legal advice. Consult a lawyer (good one) immediately.

I would not agree with your interpretation. You are insinuating that a majority of the EB based green cards sponsored by employers are similar to family sponsored green card and also that people are favoured for their nationality.....how did you arrive at this conclusion?
Possibly your exposure may be limited to mom and pop shops and that may be the basis of your analysis....!!
Working in a "regular" company and having the authority to hire people in my department, "nationality" thoughts have never crossed my mind....!!!
I agree; the law definitively leaves no room for error. If all the visas are held back until fourth quarter then there is a significant chance that visas will go unused.
At a high level; country quotas in EB do not make a whole lot of sense. I have tried to figure out why they are there; how companies and candidates use EB greencards. Conclusion, I came up with is that in a lot of ways EB is a way to circumvent family base immigration. Many peoples parents have greencards, brothers, sisters, friends, etc; and they realize that it takes too long to get greencard through family base and the fastest way is to come through h-1b and go through EB route. Also; companies; company owners will favor their own people in filing h-1b's and greencards and then you have a situation where certain people are favored due to their nationality or connection. I firmly believe that uscis and the regulatory authorities understand this and hence the reason why there is country quotas.
