Regardless of one using AC21 or not, CBP officer can ask the same question and harass if they want. There is no law to begin with that defines that you have to be working for the petitioner when one is filing for AOS or any stage of GC process. GC based on employment is for "future" employment.
Ethically it makes sense to work for the employer who you will be working on a "long" term project and who wants you to get permanent residency. There is no agreement or obligation that restricts employee to reject the employment in the future or employee to not return and that in eyes of CBP officers is a FRAUD.
I have read blogs where people write that they were told to sit for 2-3 hours before they returned the stamped document and same question was asked them and it took them 2-3 hours to figure out whether to let those guys in or deport them.
On the positive note, they can not deport you because you are not working for the original petitioner.
Good luck.
This is such a painful process. Why do we have to go through 3 to 6 hours process when the law allows us to change employers after 180 days ? I see although law allows us to change the employers after 180 days, there is no process around it. It would have been nice , if there was a provision where you inform about the usage of AC21 and USCIS sends an acknowledgment of that, which you will be able to use at POE.
Is this some thing IV can add to their objectives ?

Based on my experience it takes 7-10 days for the Approval letter to arrive.
Any idea how long it takes for the I-797A to reach the attorney's office from the day the H1 petition is approved?

It was interesting to hear that there are about 400K EB cases in queue and about 40-45% of them are EB India, and another 20-25% EB China and EB3 Mexico is becoming large too.
Effectively, the only solution that can prevent years long wait for EB immigrants in the above categories is EB relief and visa recapture. So you can understand how helpful visa recapture of 200K or so visas will be for all of us.

Dear All,
I am surprised why so far we have not knocked on White House doors, we need to urgently bring to President Bush's attention, even though his immigration bill suffered recently, in our case he can certainly use a presidential veto.
Exactly, we should take the campaign to the next level. That would mean Condi and Bush.
I think we have only until August 1 (max), before USCIS start rejecting our applications.
Cheers,

Introduction
Chairwoman Lofgren, Ranking Member King, Members of the Subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today to discuss the role of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in the visa process, particularly USCIS and Department of State (DOS) efforts to maximize visa issuance in accordance with the law. I am accompanied today by Don Neufeld, Acting Associate Director for Domestic Operations.
In recent years, over 1 million people became Lawful Permanent Residents of the United States (LPRs). Under the law there are a variety of different categories and means through which a person may become eligible for permanent residence. A substantial number of these categories have numerical limitations � annual caps on how many people can immigrate. There are other aspects to these caps as well, such as limitations per country.
While there are many different categories and means by which a person may become a permanent resident, there are two ways a person is actually granted permanent residence. The first is by being issued an immigrant visa overseas from DOS, and then being admitted to the United States with that visa. The second is by being granted Adjustment of Status by USCIS or the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR).[1] The adjustment option is limited to people already in the United States when they become eligible for an immigrant visa or otherwise become eligible for adjustment of status.
The Department of State administers the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) that relate to the numerical limits on immigrant visa issuance. However, DOS and USCIS must work closely in this respect because visas issued by DOS and adjustment of status granted by USCIS draw down from the same pool of limited numbers. Close and careful coordination ensures that annual limitations are not exceeded, and also helps us jointly strive to use all available visa numbers when there is sufficient demand.
According to the Office of Immigration Statistics March 2008 Annual Flow Report, a total of 1,052,415 persons became LPRs in 2007. The majority of the new permanent residents (59 percent) were already living in the United States when they adjusted status to permanent residence. Two-thirds of all new LPRs were granted permanent residence based on a qualifying family relationship with a U.S. citizen or LPR. The leading countries of birth for new permanent residents were Mexico (14 percent), China (7 percent), and the Philippines (7 percent).
In concert with DOS, USCIS has made significant changes in recent years to maximize the use of the limited number of visas available annually. These changes include increased staffing, enhanced analytical capacity, more detailed and strategic management of monthly production, and close partnership with DOS to share greater information. This enhanced information exchange assists DOS in better managing visa allocations through the monthly visa bulletin and improves USCIS� ability to target production for maximum result.
Background
A Lawful Permanent Resident is an individual who has been granted permanent resident status in the United States. These residents are given Permanent Resident Cards, commonly called �green cards�, and may live and work permanently anywhere in the United States. They may own property, attend schools, join the U.S. military, and apply to become U.S. citizens.
There are five general categories of persons able to immigrate to the United States. They are Immediate Relatives of a U.S. citizen, Family-sponsored immigrants, Employment-based immigrants, Diversity immigrants and those granted permanent residence after holding refugee or asylum status in the United States. Congress has established annual limits on the number of aliens who can become LPRs through the family sponsored, employment-based and diversity categories.
The family-sponsored category consists of four preferences -
* Unmarried sons and daughters of U.S. citizens and their children;
* Spouses, children, and unmarried sons and daughters of permanent residents and their children;
* Married sons and daughters of U.S. citizens and their spouses and children; and
* Brothers and sisters of US citizens aged 21 and over, and their spouses and children.
A U.S. citizen or LPR seeking to sponsor an alien on the basis of their family relationship will file a visa petition (Form I-130) with USCIS. Section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) sets a minimum annual family-sponsored preference limit of 226,000. In recent years, because of the large number of Immediate Relatives, the family-sponsored preference limit has remained at this statutory floor.
Employment-based petitions are filed by U.S. companies, organizations and individuals in order to employee foreign workers in accordance with the INA. These workers may be nonimmigrants within the United States or people in other countries willing to immigrate for employment. A prospective employer will file an employment-based visa petition (Form I-140) with USCIS to sponsor the alien as an immigrant worker. The annual limit for employment-based visas is 140,000 plus any family-based preference visas that went unused in the prior fiscal year. In some recent years, such as 2005-07, the number of employment-based visas authorized and issued has been substantially higher than 140,000 because of the effect of �recapture� statutes. These visas may be issued to the immigrant worker and his or her spouse and children that are not already U.S. citizens or LPRs.
Once USCIS is satisfied that the qualifying relationship exists and the I-130 or I-140 is approved, an individual may apply for a visa with DOS overseas or may apply to adjust status in the United States with USCIS or EOIR if a visa is immediately available.
The following table indicates approvals for all adjustment of status applications over the past few years.
Fiscal Year | Adjustment of Status Approvals | Percent of All Admissions
2005 | 738,302 | 65.8%
2006 | 819,248 | 64.7%
2007 | 621,047 | 59.0%
2008 to date | 340,432 | not known
USCIS Operations
By statute, an application for adjustment of status can only be filed if an immigrant visa is immediately available to the applicant. USCIS regulations define a visa to be immediately available if the priority date of the underlying visa petition is earlier than the cut-off date indicated for the appropriate visa category on the current DOS monthly visa bulletin. Because of these requirements, USCIS is unable to accept an application and begin the adjudication process in advance of visa availability. It is also unable to limit the number of applications accepted in a given month to the actual number of visas available. Rather, as many as qualify can file for adjustment of status during the window indicated on the visa bulletin. This can lead to a far greater number of applications than visas available. In such cases, USCIS adjudicates the application and grants interim benefits, such as work authorization and permission to travel (advance parole), until a visa number is available. Currently, the wait for some adjustment of status applicants in the employment categories can be measured in years.
Over the past few years, USCIS has built up an inventory of applications for some visa categories that cannot now be adjudicated because the number of filings exceeded the number of visas that were actually available. It also has built up a backlog of applications for some visa categories where competing adjudication priorities have prevented the timely completion of cases, even though visas are immediately available.
According to DOS, applicants for adjustment of status currently account for 25% of annual family-based visa allocations and 85% of annual employment-based visa allocations. This has varied from year to year as different factors have influenced USCIS production. For instance, the largest gaps in recent visa number usage occurred in Fiscal Year (FY) 2002 and 2003, which coincided with a significant drop in adjustment of status processing as USCIS adapted to changes to increase security screening post 9/11. Production rose in FY 2006 due to the culmination of backlog elimination efforts and the infusion of appropriated funds. While production slowed in FY 07 after completing the prior backlog reduction effort and subsequent temporary staffing reductions, production is up substantially in FY 2008. For the first half of FY 2008, increased productivity through operational and staffing enhancements has resulted in increased visa usage of 16.6% over the same period last year.
USCIS has a fee structure and surge response plan that is financing the capacity enhancements needed to both eliminate the current adjustment of status backlog and to sustain a higher capacity for timely adjudications going forward.
To maximize visa number usage while working off its backlog, USCIS has adopted a production strategy that focuses on completing cases where visas are immediately available and on working cases to the point just short of approval (pre-adjudication) where visas will be available in the coming months. Pre-adjudication includes completing all required background checks and resolving all eligibility issues except for visa availability. This allows for immediate approval and visa number allocation as visas become available for pre-adjudicated cases.

I saw my wife's 485 get a SOFT LUD and was happy to see activity. Her PD is EB2 (India) December 2005. Now reading the posts here it looks like it was the EAD application she has that might have initiated it. I hope someone looks at her 485 and she gets greened instead of approving the EAD.
We opened an SR for her and we got response on Friday as application under review. We did a second level IO and that person told us that her application was preadjucated and this was 6th of August. Nothing has happend since then.
If your wife's date is current, she will get her GC soon.
best of luck

Could you perhaps also get your colleagues R. Williams, R. Mickels and U. Hrmacher from the mailroom to join the forum?
HI Folks,
One of my friend told that my name is very popular in IV forums, and thought of checking how good/bad is my name here.
I'm able to read the forum which was in my name, but I couldn't post a reply as it is closed. So I just started a new thread (of course it took 3 hrs to find and understand this forums, coz I'm not a memebre of any forums)
Some one told that I scrwed their application....I don't think so..coz the stamps are all auto programmed and no body can do anything with that, If it happend to you..then you guys are responsable for this...thinking how?
Yes it is computer programmed. So the s/w might have some bugs...now I have to blame u guys.
I wish you all goodluck with your INS applications.

What is this "MEATING" you are talking about . Some kind of Meat Processing stuff.
I have heard of a thing called MEETING where people gather to discuss an agenda.
I strongly think that someone should be monitoring the threads opened with headlines like "MEATING " and yesterday someone wanted a HOME WARM up. Gives a really bad impression of a community that is skilled .
There could be a typo sometimes, don't worry too much about it.

Hello IV gurus, this question may have been asked before so apologies.
I am now past the 180 day filing period for 485. Also, 140 has been approved too. Now assuming I get laid off in the next few weeks - can I take some time off (meaning can I be unemployed)? I dont intend to travel outside the US and I also have EAD and AP in my hand.
- Can I be unemployed for the next few weeks/months without impacting the processing of the case? Of-course, I intend to be employed when the actual 485 gets approved...which given the current VB dates will take a few years.
- Can I continue to keep applying for EAD and AP even if I am unemployed? Meaning, can I pay for it on my own without my prior employer coming in the picture?
Thank you.

Folks,
My lawyer said he sent my I-485 application on June29th, Friday thru USPS Priority mail with out tracking number and believes that it should reached on July 2nd to Nebraska Service center. I am not even sure if it reached the destination or not.
As many of you being in the same boat, I don't know where my I-485 application is at this point . As of now neither my Checks have been cashed nor have I got the rejected 485 envelope.
I called USCIS couple of times with out much of luck as they don't know where my application is and asked me wait till 31st July giving them 30 days time from the day of filing.
So my question if I don't hear back back anything until Aug1st week, is it possible to file I-485 for the second time. If that is ok then would it complicate the issue by having 2 I-485 applications.
Thanks for your help in advance. Please let me know your thoughts.

I got married this month and my wife's country of birth is a non retrogress country. I have two questions regarding this process. Guys who have used cross chargeability pls help me answer these questions.
1.) Does my wife need to be in USA to file my 485 under cross chargeability. She will be able to come to USA after an year as she is doing her MD in Medicine in India. Notice that I will be filing only my 485 for now and not hers and is her presence required in the country as I am cross charging to her is the question.
2.)What are the documents of my spouse needed. Will marriage certificate and birth certificate be enough along with the documents typically needed for the applicant i.e. me or is anything else needed.
Thanks a Ton.

My file jumped from 608k to almost 9 meg after importing a Swift 3D animation. I removed the animation completely as far as I can tell, in library, etc...But its ghost still remains. Anyone know how I can get my fla file back to the 6-7k it was?

Hi friends i was planning to go to toronto, CANADA this weekend for stamping my 3yr extension .My 7th yr extension is till April 16th.So after reading what chandu wrote.Can somebody please tell me is it advisable for me to go one month in advance for visa stamping as my current visa is valid for one more month.Can somebody pls help on this.I have already booked the tickets & hotel.
My employer told me, as I have a valid stamp from same company, I must wait till it is within 10 days of the stamp expiry (mine is may 29th, 2007) so I must go only 10 days before that date, but if it is a different company we can go.
Can anyone confirm what my employer said?
If what he said is true, then I think you have to wait till 10 days in advance

Absolutely.
There are unfortunate souls like me who have enough experience to qualify for EB2. But, can only file the I-140 under EB3 because USICS does not consider the 3 year Indian degree equivalent to US bachelor degree for EB2.
4 years Bachelors degree with 9 years' experience; money from employer; but time - I don't have any to squander away. Then makes sense to jump to EB2, doesn't it?
