Well...I am one of us stuck in EB3. I do qualify for EB2 but my employer choose to file it under EB3. I recently invoked AC21 and moved over to a new employer on my EAD. Is there a way I can ask my new employer if they can file new I140 under EB2 and change my category to EB2?
Is there a way I can ask my new employer if they can file new I140 under EB2 and change my category to EB2?
Does someone has answer for this?

You should make an appointment with info pass and carry all needed documents with you. They should be able to help. It is not perfect solution but it works. My wife had applied her AP which did not show up even after three months, in mean time we have had an emergency. I made an appointment with info pass, it was approved within a day. It is worth a try.

I guess they(morons, per your definition) are all techincally correct based on past memo's explaining USCIS stand on postmark dates,last working day in a month rule, the time at which the application was received(the revised bulletin was not yet published) etc etc
no matter what, the decision of accepting the applications is at USCIS's discretion.They can reject applications received in the last week of June as well if they want to.Period.
Calling USCIS is not going to help any single beneficiary. I guess this has been already answered by Oh. As long as we do not get away from concentrating too much on "Whats happening with my application?" we are going to sulk.

Your calculations are way too optimistic.
If a regular IV member is spending 1000$ on credit card why cannot he/she not contribute 50/100 $ per month to IV. I don�t know about you or others but I use the credit card is gives best deal for the month for that month.
As far as contributing money to IV, again it�s not about monitory constraints but about making our self give some money for our own cause.
Well, If you sign up for IV credit card, the contributor is not paying from his pocket. It's the bank, who is paying for him, and contributor will keep earning miles/reward point as with any other credit card so it should make ZERO difference for card holder.
Its like finding a advertising sponsor for any of the IV event,except this is one time effort.
the earning could be huge. lets do simple math.
Average CC monthly bill = $1000 , 2% of $1000= $20.
20 * 20k = 40K monthly contribution.
Now think how hard is it to raise 40K monthly using our regular fund raising ?
Basic problem with fund raising is, once person gets his EAD/GC , he stops visiting IV website, I am sure he/she still supports the cause by heart but it just happens that he does not visit this site and does not notice our fund raising drive ( and as a result, we call them selfish :p) .
But if he is carrying IV credit card , its very easy for him to pick up that CC and swipe every time he makes purchase and support the cause.
Hope you get an idea :).

is UNLIKELY to pass at least in its current form. Public hospitals, underserved area clinics, Universities are not Google and Oracle!!! They'll go under if they have to pay 5000 $ for H1Bs. People probably don't have the faintest idea under what kind of financial strain these are. There will be exemptions for universities and non-profit organizations.
Just so that you know, Medical education is taken out of the eligibility criteria for H-1B visa with this new bill. They will have to go through J-1 strictly.

My company does not allow us to pay for our own labor. It is against the law. My company was not doing new perm labors for people who had already applied in regular processing.
Coming to present situation, my company attorneys are so overloaded with labor work that they have become very slow in responding. Now it will be even worse since everybody will be applying for 485. I feel they have created a choas.
Look, i sympathize with you but you SHOULD HAVE poured in some money to start a parallel PERM application ..... PERM started from APR 2005 - you got almost 2 years +
My case is also like you but my Labor was 2 years old and applied just
before PERM and it went straightway to Phily Backlog center ... I thought
of applying for a Parallel PERM but mine was a RIR ( quicker) and Phily was saying that they would clear all Backog by SEP 2007 ( another 2 months)
Did you check your status in Backlog tracker ??

This wud sound like good news except for the word "introduced". The SKIL bill was "Introduced" in the Senate as well. I would love to go "ra-ra sis boom ba" on this peice of news, but history shows that a lot of bills get "introduced" but remain on the senate/house back burners. This is good news but let's be cautiously optimistic/enthusiastic.

Looks like USCIS is sending more denial letters on AC21 cases these days, a lot of VOs may not have been trained on AC21.
I took infopass this week to find out status of my case (AC21 responded to NOID and case reopened and lot of soft LUDs) - the VO was trying to be judgemental instead of looking at computer and answer my question. She said "If you change job and 140 is revoked, there is no way your 485 will get approved" and when I insisted her to look at computer and let me know status, after some nagging, she looked and told me case is pending and NC cleared and I will receive a decision sometime but not very soon.
Believe me, a lot of VOs do not know AC21 stuff.
In such cases, where the InfoPass people (IOs or VOs or whatever they are called) pass judgement on whether your 485 should be approved or not, does it help to bring a printed copy of the AC21 Aytes memo (issued in Dec 2005)along to show to them? It is an official USCIS document and it clearly states the following.
Question 11. When is an I-140 no longer valid for porting purposes?
Answer: An I-140 is no longer valid for porting purposes when:
A. an I-140 is withdrawn before the alien�s I-485 has been pending 180 days, or
B. an I-140 is denied or revoked at any time except when it is revoked based on a withdrawal
that was submitted after an I-485 has been pending for 180 days.

If you read the postings in this thread itself you would be surprised to see that some consider this as controversial. You are not writing your life off just because you married a H1B visa holder. It also happens that majority of H4 holdes are woman and hence unable to express their views. - a perfect case of lack of visibility.
What makes it intuitively obvious that an H-4 visa holder cannot express their views just because they are a woman?
H-4 visa holders can seek a change of visa. If you want to work, do so instead of relying on the H-1 status of the spouse. If you want your wife/husband/dependent to be able to work, why not seek a change of visa status for them? Or is this just too much of an effort?

I have sent you a PM. Please read it.
Filed I-485 on July 31,2007, till date not received my receipt and my checks not en cashed either, Today I have been told my last day in the company would be September 28,2007.I have given following options, please advice
Options
1. Two weeks pay that's it I need to leave the company which leads me to square one of GC processing(Having approved I140 with PD Dec 2004 in EB3)
2. I will be transferred to Indian operations of the same company ( I leaning towards this option) if I choose options they agreed to continue my GC, but since I filed for AOS is there any way convert my AOS application to consular processing?
Guys please advice

Trying to apply AP for spouse, his last entry into US was on F1 but since then he's been through H1 and current status is AOS filed. Should the Class of Admission be F1?
Which I-94 copy should be attached, the one that was stamped when he last entered US, or the latest I-94 he received from his last H1 filing?
Thanks in advance ..

But then again - there are lot of rules that doesn't make sense. I feel that it is better to spend energy to get them amended..
if you could make a difference then take your pick from ....
a) ban EB3-Eb2 porting
b) or EB1 abuse
c) or eliminate country quota
d) or recapture the visa
e) or don't count dependents in EB category.
f) or abuse by body shop consutling firms
g) or Automatic GC or citizen after x years........
h) ..... list goes on..
.. if all could be done @ same time - it would be perfect..
i)And Make spilloover distributed equally among all the categories below it. Please add this also.
j) Move all EB3 waiters automatically into EB2 if they are waiting for more than 6 years with priority date retained.

I too have question on similar lines, probably it may have been already answered, i did not get a chance to see it.
Which one is correct?
Receipt date = Processing Date
Notice Date = Processing Date
can somebody explain the meaning of "processing date for I-485"? For example, the Texas service center has July 17 2007 processing date for I-485 petitions.
How to interpret that?
Thanks.

LOL...Couldn't help myself after reading this thread... Guys who are frustrated..i totally commiserate with all of you who are stuck in BEC..All the july filers would be eligible to file for their 485s and would get their EAD's ad AP's a couple of months earlier than the folks stuck in BEC.The BEC folks would get them too when the dates move starting Oct 1st.
Its ultimately the PD thats important for the green card..since you already have your PD much before than the june fliers,you always have your place in the GC line. Unless you guys come and join us its not gonna move...
