That's a great input - so did you really give them any letter from new EMPLOYER ( whom you ported with AC21) which said that your future Job will pay you 150K/160K instead of 75K stated in LC
OR
you just gave them the paystubs when the RFE came before 485 ?
Thanks much !
My LCA salary was 75K/Year 3 years ago, but I submitted pay stubs 120% > LCA when I filed 485 and my petition was approved with out any issue...

Hmmmm, but I guess it also greatly depends on how many of those people are qualified and inclined to apply, right? Both India and China are undergoing massive development so I guess they get the bad end of the stick both ways - a huge population with a growing percentage of skilled and professional workers, many of whom seeking better work opportunities abroad.
Im not sure about the UK. I cant imagine that we reach our quota every year. I mean, working here doesnt seem to be much better or worse than working in the US, and our population while relatively large is ofcourse limited geographically. I get the impression that people from the UK generally try to move to the US for a better lifestyle, not necessarily for improved work opportunities (though I may be VERY wrong).
Does that mean that someone from the UK would have an advantage in getting a good priority date against someone from India or China? If so, what are we talking here? Weeks, months, years?
If this is the case, then I can very much see why so many are opposed to these quotas.

Not sure what you're saying here Ronnie. Lifestyle and social security are quite good in the UK. You get more leave, a more egalitarian system generally, more "free" social services etc in you homeland. If that is your objective, then I can't see your intent in immigrating here :):):)
India and China under current projections are certainly the markets of the future.
Skills are mobile but public policy is not so as much. We are yet to see the final word spoken on this either in West or East as much!

There is apparently some explanation from USCIS about this: Rajiv Khanna has posted it : (Nov 2009)
USCIS explains its types of site visits - ImmigrationPortal Forums (http://forums.immigration.com/blog.php?b=232)
Following is the brief text from that:
USCIS' Fraud Detection and National Security (FDNS) office has recently explained the three types of site visits that are currently being conducted:
1. Risk Assessment Program fraud study (RANDOM VISITS). This is a joint study by USCIS and ICE applicable to both family-based and employment-based cases. Cases are chosen for randomly for review and site visits – usually after a case is approved. The purpose of this study is to build a profile of the types of cases where fraud is most prevalent.
2. Targeted site visits (PLANNED VISITS). These are targeted visits where fraud is already suspected. USCIS is supposed to give advance notice of the site visit to counsel of record.
3. Administrative site visits (RANDOM VISITS). These are currently conducted by contractors (who know nothing of immigration law) for religious worker and H-1B cases. The questions are already scripted and involve issues like whether there exists a genuine employer, and whether the beneficiary is doing the work and receiving the wage indicated on the petition. Generally, if all is clear, these visits are not repeated more than once per site (not per employer).
if they (USCIS) do its earnestly, its a great thing.........will help weed out fraudulent cases and also act as a deterrent for dishonest employers in future.

Hi Curious Techie,
1. Is that all that was required for immigrant landing...the pp and copr?
2. can the 401K amount be shown as proof of funds? Is there any specific amount that we should show?
3. Did the canadian immigration officer know that you'll returning to US soon after landing?
4. Is there any permanent card that they'll send you after landing?
5. Is it true that you should live and work in Canada only for 2 years anytime during the first 5 years after landing?
6. What are the things you mentioned that will follow? Do we have to produce the receipt for the stuff you are bringing?
Pls reply. Thanks.

He talks about reducing the ST and VAT. Remember Indian Govt is unlike Chinese. We have a huge govt establishment and even to pay the salaries (forget the pension) for all of these people (govt servants) the govt is heavily dependent on the different taxes including income tax. Our system of collecting tax is completely corrupt and inefficient. Any tax reduction should be balanced immediately and simultaneously by efficient and accurate tax collection. All sorts of tax evasion schemes should be prevented. Only then we can flourish as a domestic consumption economy. We are sustaining now on repatriation (NRI) and export (US and others). If we cut those out, we better be a better nation, or else face complete collapse. We dont have an efficicent Govt system (with one dominant and intelligent voice) as the chinese. PLEASE BEAR THESE IN MIND!!! I wish the speaker also dealt with the alternatives for export more in his talk. He is basically bashing US, but not our own inadequacies (govt and personal) to deal with and create a self sustaining system. YES OFCOURSE WE CAN HAVE A SELF SUSTAINING SYSTEM, AND A LOT OF US KNOW VERY CLEARLY HOW IT LOOKS WHEN WE LEFT THE BELOVED COUNTRY TO FAR AWAY LANDS IN SEARCH OF PROSPERITY AND MORE THAN ANYTHING PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEACE!!!!!!!!!!!

If people are serious about not wasting precious years of their lives, then we need a better plan and execution. If undocumented immigrants can fight for their right, then it's quite unfortunate that a substantial no. of perfectly legal immigrants, contributing significantly to the society for decades, have surrendered their lives and fates to a dysfunctional system based on arcane laws.
Now that the only remaining hope for a change is CIR is pitiful, because it�s a classic case where hard-working and law abiding people are hoping to get rights in the same order as the people who jumped over the fence. This is a result of inaction and passivity, which is normally rewarded by deprivation of rights.
At this rate, one day probably felons and terrorists will be better rights in this country than perfectly legal immigrants from certain countries. IV�s approach of polite request to the goodwill of politicians is not working for a decade. Therefore I believe that a change in approach is reasonable to seek at this point.
If the same amount (or more) effort /qualification of certain group of people yields significantly worse result from that of another group, only because of national origin, then the system can be proven to be discriminatory towards national origin. Therefore this can be challenged under the constitutional framework, as well as under human rights. So the possibility of a legal challenge is not totally unfounded.
But we need active support (both financial and effort) of members for that. Therefore I believe that it�s time to survey across IV community, whether majority is content with passively watching the status quo or willing to take more active role and try for a change.
My personal belief is that a significant number of IV members have reached the threshold of patience, and looking forward to take more proactive role and try for a change. So please voice your opinion on what you thing IV�s direction of movement should be at this point, and whether you are willing to take an active role and try for a change.
First of all, do you know what and how IV is working on?
Second of all, what actions do you propose - give the alternate solutions

Ok. Just to update(to feel myself better) I tried to contact the old employer for 2 days. he didn't even bother to answer my emails or phone.
The priority date is actully very recent i.e. 2006 in eb3. But I think with this scary CIR bill he might have plans substitute it .
I have only 2 years left on my h1. :( And I can't do anything. Feeling very hopeless. :(

We should make Digg membership a prerequisite for IV membership :D

I don’t know about rental cars as I have traveled in my own car and yes, you can use US drivers license and no one cares for a driver’s license :-). Make sure you stick to your speed in km/hr or else you’ll have a RCMP behind you. It’s good to take along with you all the supporting documents but the only thing that is really needed is your H1 approval notice, Form I-156 and visa fees paid at Scotia bank.
Find a cheap paid parking once you reach as parking in Toronto is really bad. If you are planning to stay in a hotel, take time to get familiar with the place and the location of the US immigration center before your appointment. It is easier to find it yourself than asking some local. The building is hidden behind and no one knew where or what it was, you will find it. Get your visa fees paid at Scotia bank well before your appointment. If you dont have your photos, the center can get you for $5. Also, you might have to pay a reciprocity fees of around $50. US $ will work everywhere so carry enough $ as they don't accept cards in the visa center. That’s it... you are all set.
You have to wait for one full day to get your stamped passport back. Take a visit to Niagara Falls in Canada or go visit CN towers. There is lot of fun things to do in Toronto so enjoy and come back and post your experience to help others.

One thing I have not been able to understand re: RFE and ability to pay etc. is
if cash in bank is good enough or if revenue/profits are important as well.
THe startup I am considering is still in the phase of developing a new product (hence no revenues) but have a good amount of seed money in the bank.

Her I-130 was approved a couple years ago and we are going to attach a copy of that with the I-485 application.
Her humanitarian parole was approved in 8/2010, expired that month, and it was an I-94 with no other paperwork and with no stamp in the passport.

Dear Meridiani:
Your logic is correct, but. The but comes when a person at the time of filing I-485 is employed by the sponsoring company. If such a person changes employer BEFORE 180 days have past, there is so called, reasonable suspicion that the future job offer at the original sponsor does not exist any longer. That is why, the USCIS most often requires an updated employment offer letter from the original employer. One is free to change jobs if 181 days have passed with no major concerns and if one's I-140 petition is approved. However, if one changes jobs BEFORE 180 day have passed and does this voluntarily, this CAN cause issues. If one was fired, this is a different story.
In general, AC-21 kicks in only after 180 days have passed. If USCIS finds that one changed jobs before such time, it will ask why, when etc to see if AC-21 could be used. It is true that one can keep changing jobs, yes. But at the time of adjudication, the USCIS will require a job offer letter from the original sponsor, of a new employer if AC-21 was successfully used.
This is a complex issue any many of our members have gone through this. Attorneys ALWAYS advise to wait for 180 days since I-485 is filed before accepting new employment leaving the original sponsor behind.
see this:
http://www.gurfinkel.com/immigration_updates/2006/apr09-2006.html
Recently, the USCIS clarified the circumstances under which an alien is able to change employers under AC-21 without having to start all over again. In order to be able to change employers (or have a new employer "take over" the existing case), not only must the adjustment of status application be pending for 180 days or more, but the original employer's I-140 petition must have previously been approved . An alien would not be able to avail of the portability provisions of AC-21, and would not be able to change employers (or have the new employer "take over" the case) if:
I am not denying the fact that its always better to wait 180 days. I am disputing your statement that, and I quote "You can not change jobs before that and count on approval". That is not true. It might come down to proving the intent of the employer on the 180th day of your filing. However the fact that I-140 was not revoked comes in useful. In OPs case here 180 days have now passed, so its even better. He can claim AC-21 if he gets an RFE at this point.
