I feel counting your stay in H1B towards GC and ignoring the date you filed GC adds more mental pressure.
That is exactly the point We want to see how much mental pressure we are facing from this unjust, deaf and dump USCIS :-)

Yes, no respite for EB3 I. We are like a floor mat.
Not sure if there is something going on against EB3 I with USCIS.

I read this on immigration-law
05/13/2008: Tips for Understanding New Revised PERM Labor Certification Application Form ETA 9089
* As we reported earlier, OFLC published proposed revised PERM form, ETA 9089 last year and based on the comments which they hadf received, they drafted the final version of the revised ETA 9089 and published on March 31, 2008 with the 60-day comment period. Accordingly, the comment period will be closed on May 31, 2008. We have already posted this final version of the revised ETA 9089 form, which reflects no serious material changes to the initial revised version and the changes, if any, were more related to "technical" rather than material or substantial.
* In order to understand the final version of the revised ETA 9089 form, the employers and the labor certification practitioners may want to review the comments which the OFLC received in response to the initial version and which comments were adopted and rejected and reasons for the adoption and rejection. The review of the comments will also tremendously help in understanding each item of the ETA 9089 questions so that the employers avoid misunderstanding of the questions and giving wrong answers. It appears that the most serious comments were addressed by the USCIS from their standpoints of I-140 adjudications such as definition of "Suitable Combination of Education, Training, or Experience," or "combination of multiple foreign degrees as equivalent to a four-year U.S. degree," and host of other issues that flow from differences in the rules between the USCIS and the DOL. Interestingly, most of these USCIS comments have not been adopted for the obvious reasons. The record also reflects that the OFLC sought inputs on March 4, 2008 from the so-called "focus group" which included AILA, American Council on International Personnel, NAFSA, and American Bar Association.
* We guarantee that reading of the comments and OFLC decisions may work as an eye-opener for the labor certification practitioners and the employers for their future practice of the employment-based immigration law. In order to review the document, people should click here and once it opens, they should open the "word version" document entitled to "Support Statement.doc." The comments are covered from page 6 through 16 of the word document. Even though this final version may not be implemented until January 1, 2009, it is obvious that the policy and concepts which are incorporagted in the revised form may affect the adjudication process of the current PERM application as evidenced by such standard adopting SVP for determination of the acceptable qualification requirement in the current OFLC practice even if the current form just asks "normal" or "not normal" requirement. If readers need the final version of the ETA 9089 form, they may send us email, ohlaw@immigration-law.com.
more clarity on red line might help.

Any info on what if the passport is damaged before the U.S entry but the visa on the passport is still valid and not damaged.
1- In this case would the passport office return the old (damaged) passport back after cancellation?
2- In case it does is it acceptable for the U.S immigration at the port of entry to accept visa in the old passport stapled to the new fresh passport.
I know this thing works for valid visas in expired passports. Does it work for those passports too which are unexpired but cancelled due to damage?
I hope someone can help.
One thing fis or sure, the local U.S embassy that issued the visa does not transfer visas from old passport to new passport unless one applies for a new visa with a whole new application.

The company I used to work for earlier was a consulting company and whenever I go to India for stamping (Chennai) the company used to send me all these docs - everything in a bundle and I used to take them to consulate.
I went for stamping 2 times through that company, first time they asked me to show ONLY my tax returns and paystubs and asked me what I do and also recent paystubs and I got the visa.
Second time I went for an extension - they never bothered to see any document, they straight away issued the visa though I carried all documents listed.
Consuulting companies have to be ready to give you all documents needed and I do not see an issue.
If you are in a project - get letter from client manager - how difficult is it?

1) You can use EAD to work for any company in any profession (yes, you can work on it at McDonalds if things get tough).
2) You need to have a job offer in a similar profession to change your sponsoring employer on the AOS petition - that can only be done after Jan 19. This whole thing is independent of who you work for on your H1 or EAD.
3) Start looking for a new job immediately. If your old employer terminates you and cancels your H1 and I-140, you will have very little time to transfer your H1 to a new employer (withdrawal of I-140 will trigger denial of I-485, which will invalidate your EAD). You will also be without any fallback status if your H1 and AOS are canceled.
4) Your best bet is to transfer H1 to a new employer because H1 is independent of what happens to your AOS case.
Try to leave the employer on good terms (like, if you find a new job and leave to their satisfaction). They will be less likely to look for ways to hurt you. Good luck!
Thanks for your response. My question is: Would the employer have to cancel I140 along with H1B? Also, do they have to cancel H1 as per law if an H1B employee leaves? If my employer knows about cancelling I140, they will surely do this to harm me.
H1 transfer to a new employer itself is a pain and thats the reason I was planning to use EAD.

1. We are a small minority, we cant vote anyway, so we cant influence the politicians
2. We are misers, we dont contribute enough money so that IV can lobby effectively
3. We have no self respect, we continue to wait for green cards, living without basic rights, instead of packing up and leaving
4. We have big opponents like NumbersUsa.com who lobby against immigration
no people power, no money power, no self respect, plenty of opponents - please tell me why our situation will ever improve?
I guess in some years after there are a few million folks in the queue, sufficient number of people will act on Points 2 and 3 and things will start happening.

related to Employer-Employee relationship issue. Most of the time employees of consulting company are the one facing this issue. If work location is different from the company base address then question about the client and project raises, which most of the time turns out to be difficult case to prove employee-employer relationship and they end up with 221(g).
Companies needs take initiative and work with their lawyers to make sure employees are not affected during the trips (to home country), but very rarely company takes care of this without any issue pops up which is very sad.
At this rate in the next 5 -6 years barring any regualtion change, body shopping/IT consulting business model of the 2000s is over. H1b unitization rate is lower (though it reaches cap) but % of approved H1B petitions receiving actual visa stamping is far lower. Therefore effective H1B population will be on the decline in future.
Once the current backlog of EBs gets cleared over the next 10 years or so, the pressure on EB quota will reduce.
221 (g) for H1B is becoming like "catch-all " 221(b) of visitor (B1/B2) visa.

Fellow IVers,
I don't want to discourage anyone by posting this. I want all of you to do a reality check on the rallies you want to organize.
I believe organizers of San Jose rally does not have enough time to do all the stuff they need. If they had another week i am pretty sure thay would have done an amazing job with the count and better media coverage. gsc999 and Frankling will you agree with me?
So please check if you have enough time when you suggest a date for a protest rally. Especially if you are expecting big numbers you have to do a lot of publicity and not only people in this forum but also all other people should know about the rally so that they can participate.
NY rally organizers, i suggest you to pick another date to give yourself enough time.
Just a thought

If this is true, what airlines should i travel with out any hessle?
Working with a reputed firm, has I140 approved .. waiting for 1485 priority dates.

Can H4 to F-1 COS be applied anytime?
i.e. Can one start MS (or MBA) on H4 and then at anytime apply for COS to F-1? OR can this be applied only when one semester end and another starts?
H-4 does not need full time course load, while F-1 does... hence wonder if one can apply for H-4 to F-1 in the middle of a semester...(when one is taking less than full time course load on H4)
I am thinking about using the H4 to F-1 COS in case of layoff risks for the H1 primary holder. (Have the EAD option, but can't keep H4 in status).

smahwal,
Looks like you are in good shape to get approved soon. Did you do anything specific to resolve the situation like opening an SR, infopass etc.
I have been noticing soft LUDs on my EAD and 485. The EAD was issued about 2 months ago and I have had 2 soft luds on that and on the 485 in the last week.
Any ideas on what that means?

I am an ICWA from India with B.com. Degree. When I moved to US in 2001, my immigration attorney told me ICWA at best will be viewed as certification like CPA, CIA and CMA of America and will not be considered as equivalent of Degree. When I applied for H1-B, the evaluation came in as B.Com+AICWa together as equivalent of Bachelors Degree.
However for Green card puposes each qualification individually shooul qualify as a bachelors or Masters Degree.
WHen I processed my green card, we took EB-2 second option, which allows any certificate holder with 10 years experience in his profession with top salaries, membership and well acclaimed status in the profession qualifies for EB-2.
Mt attorney processed my case under EB-2 second category which deals with certifications and my labor and I-140 cleared without any hassle.
I finally got my green card in 2008.
The bottom line is if you have 10 years experience and command high salary you have an option of using certification route.
Hello,
All potential and current applicants of I-140 with ICWAI - please read and reply to this posting.
This is my first post on this forum with a purpose of resolving 4-year degree issues of ICWAI (The Institute of Cost and Works Accountants of India).
The ICWAI website (www.icwai.org (http://www.icwai.org/)) states that completion of final examination is at least equivalent to Masters degree in India. Both Association of Indian Universities (AIU) and AICTE also confirm this. However, both USCIS and AAO often requires good documentation to prove this point conclusively.
I have contacted the Institute of Cost and Works Accountants to provide me documentation that ICWAI is an accredited institution which can issue Masters equivalent degree in India. This, in my opinion, help proving that ICWAI is equivalent to a 4-year US Bachelors or 3 year + 2 year Masters degree in India, which seems to be generally accepted by USCIS for the purposes of both EB 3 and EB 2. Of course, each case is different, and requires to provide specific supporting documentation to USCIS.
But my purpose is to get a resolution on basic equivalency issues related to ICWAI qualification and establish a baseline for all members of the Institute working USA.
I have recently contacted the institute with all relevant information, and I got good response from the President and Council members of the ICWAI, who are seriously looking into this matter to come up with better documentation to resolve accreditation issues once for all. The ICWAI is eager to resolve issues members are facing in US with educational equivalency.
Please contact me or to the Institute directly (Email President / Membership department) for further information. Please reply to this post and let us work together.
Thanks to IV for providing a solid forum for sharing experiences.
Regards,
ICWA
