I am planning to make a GC Holder as main partner.Its not only to save a buck , but also for future security .
I see not many small /medium companies are going to last in long run . Our GC could take upto 6 years assuming no change in law and heavy outsourcing trend.
Do you know if USCIS raise a flag if company sponsering GC for 8 out of 10 employees (assuming rest are main employee's spouses).
If so what kind of measures should be taken before situation arises.
How important is company's history? if it is how much history of profits does it need to make it as safe bet?

But I remember reading somewhere that you get 3 year H1 Extension only if your I-140 is approved and I-485 is not applied. Once you apply for I-485, you cannot get 3 year H1 extension instead you get only 1 year of H1 Extension.
Thanks Again.

Even that is what i heard...I dont know until we experience for me its nextyr..

Hello All,
I have only 2 months for filing a Labor certification ( 365 days before
the 6'th year H1 ends ) . My employer had alredy completed all formalities
( releasing ads ) etc required for filing labor but now I have an unusual
issue. I was under the impression , my GC will be filed under EB2 ( I have a masters and 5+ years experience) but my employer
says that the ads released was not for Eb2 but Eb3 .
My attorney says that USCIS decides the category.
1. Is there a difference in process in filing for Eb2 or Eb3 like a higher
prevailing rate ? Can I still use the same ads for filing under Eb2?
2. Does USCIS decide the category based on our qualification or while
filing itself it has to be mentioned ?
Can anyone plz clarify ?

They also have an oversight role. They have subpoena power and must confirm some administration appointments. I would say that adds up to a lot.
Remember what Zoe Lofgren was able to do for the community from her perch in the house. Now imagine Grassley-clones in similar positions.
Enforcement is not the job of the committees...Committees pretty much draft bills...Quoting from IV Wiki:
"Each bill goes through several stages in each house. The first stage involves consideration by a committee. Most legislation is considered by standing committees, each of which has jurisdiction over a particular subject matter, such as Agriculture or Appropriations. The House has twenty standing committees; the Senate has sixteen. In some cases, bills may be sent to select committees, which tend to have more narrow jurisdictions than standing committees. Each standing and select committee is led by a chair (who belongs to the majority party) and a ranking member (who belongs to the minority party). Committees are permitted to hold hearings and collect evidence when considering bills. They may also amend the bill, but the full house holds the power to accept or reject committee amendments. After considering and debating a measure, the committee votes on whether it wishes to report the measure to the full house. "

Alterego and GCmuddu_H1BVaddu,
Thanks for the information. It is really useful.
BTW after your contact with the congress aide how long did it take to get your approval.
Also how do you get to third level IO when you call. I don't get transferred at all.
Thanks a lot.

the current clauses in the INA are being amended and the EB clauses will be directly replaced with merit based.
therefore AC21 for all intents and purposes will apply to the "new clauses"

leoindiano,
No my FP for EAD was done about a month back. I have noticed that some have Code 1, 2, or 3, What I understand is that in the end everyone has to complete Code 3 before getting GC, so they may call me for another FP
Thanks

Somewhere I read that USCIS also expects us to stay with the company at least for one year after receiving the green card if he has not used EAD. If he does not stay, then it can cause trouble during citizen-ship application. I am not very sure and let immigration gurus throw light on this.
Situation:
-----------
Employer asks employee to sign an agreement before filing PERM. Per the agreement, if the employee resigns between the day it is signed and till one year after Green Card (yes, the real green card) is issued, then the employee has to pay back the legal fees incurred by the employer.
Question:
-----------
What is the legal basis for such an agreement? If the employee really resigns during that period and matter goes to the court of law, what might be the possible direction?
Does IV has an stand on such situations?
Thank you. Regards,
Arun

The strong impression that I took away from the converstaion, and this is only my interpretation, not what was said explicity, is the following:
1. The good news: the CIS backlog isn't as big as previously feared and their productivity is at an all time high;
2. More good news: China EB3 had almost caught up with worldwide EB3 and is likely to do so next year;
3. The bad news: when visa numbers become available again, India EB3 is going to be back where it was almost a year ago and it is not likely to move forward much in the next fiscal year.
4. More bad news: 40% to 45% of the entire backlog is Indian EB2 and EB3.

Let's say I switch to another employer using AC21 while waiting for I-485 approval. Then, I-485 is denied due to a simple reason like insufficient funds. Do I have to go through the GC process all over again, or can I just fix the problem and re-file I-485 using the old priority date?

As Rodney King famously remarked, "Why can't we all get along?" As Democrats and Republicans in Congress have spent the past year beating each other up regarding the health care bill, do we want the same thing to happen with immigration this year? At the moment, President Obama cannot even find two Republican senators out of 40 to support Comprehensive Immigration Reform. And anyone who thinks that all Democrats are united in support of CIR must be drinking the Kool-Aid. But does this mean that immigration reform is DOA in 2010? Not necessarily. There are individual pieces of immigration legislation...

Yes, I did it, my H1B and I-94 expired in Feb 08 , company filed the extension 10 days before that, got the approval in July 08. I was working all along. As I mentioned, apparently USCIS gives 240 days of grace period once an extension is fiiled during which the beneficiary can stay/work legally and they expect to have a decision on your extension by that time.
The only thing once needs to worry is to file the extension before the current visa has expired.
Hey div_bell_2003,
Is it true that one can continue working (once H1B extension is filed)? Even after the current H1B expires?
Interesting...this is the first I heard of this, but it could be true.
If so, lsanthu, you have even less to worry about - you can continue working!!!

If you are using AC21 option, and if you are on EAD and have abandoned your H1, then if your 485 gets rejected then you are out of status and you have to go back.
If you use AC21 option and if you are on H1B, then if your 485 gets rejected, then you can stay on H1 until the H1 expires and in the meantime, you can file a motion to re-open your 485 case and take it to appeals and so on.
just to clarify, even if you are on EAD you can still file an MTR to fight and defend your 485. Its very very critical that your MTR is accepted, because you are accruing illegal presence until then (from date of denial of 485). 180 days of illegal presence will trigger the re-entry bars etc. Also, just filing the MTR does not give you status, it needs to be accepted and your case re-opened. This takes 1-2 months typically, but can go all the way to 7-8 months and those are the cases where things get real dicey...

Thank you for your advice.
What is the definition of a similar or same type of position in the new project.
My GC was applied in a "SAP type of implementation position where my education of Mechanical Engineering would help in modeling business processes into ERP". But my resume that was submitted has Java and other programming skills also
But in the last 4-5 years I was working on Networking and Systems Administration.
So if I work in this area (Networking and Administration), will there be a conflict.
My resume now has multiple skill set including Java and other programming langages including the AS/400 midrange systems.

Please spend 2 minutes and complete your profile. Without data people would consider you are fake.
Blindly dont ask every one fill the profile. the handle clearly says GC not filed yet. So what should be filled here?

Do you mind me asking when did this happen to you ?
I did make a photo copy of the EAD. I did schedule an appointment with info pass on Monday. I'll see how it goes. I'm hoping I do not have to wait anther 6 months. I'm worried with all this fiasco it will take long to correct the mistake.
Thank you all for your answers.

There was a mistake in my EAD card once and called USCIS & my lawyer and both said I have to send the original EAD card with new filled & signed EAD application (I-765) and all supporting documents (EAD application I-765 & supporting documents mentioned in I-765).
I took photo copy of my original EAD (that has error) before sending it so that I will have proof of their mistake and also wrote cover letter about the mistake USCIS done (I even kept a photocopy of my EAD card and circled the error and asked them to correct it so that it will be easier for them to find the error).
I sent it to USCIS i.e. the entire package and they verified all my details and realized it is their mistake so they sent me the new card with proper details. Since it is their mistake they didnt charge me. If it is your mistake then they will ask you to pay for the EAD i.e. EAD processing fee (if you made mistake like any typo you or your lawyer did in your EAD application you have to pay).
so dont worry but you will have to wait for atleast 10-15 days to get it corrected. so call them and your attroney and get the details and send it to USCIS soon. but it is important to take your EAD photocopy before you send it and keep it in your records. also follow up and send it overnight through fedex/ups/courier for safer/quicker delivery of your packag and you can track too. good luck.
