Found some info over here
http://www.immigration.com/faq/Memo_RSK_M_A%5B1%5D.pdf
Essentially if the I-140 has been approved, the new company has to get the name changed on the I-140 app. Still would like to hear from someone who has been thru this.
Also the question of going to a new employer under these conditions still remains? Please advise.
Thanks

"Does anyone know if the GC is valid given my friend's death?"
--A friend of mine had to go through the same experience. Her husband passed away while awaiting GC. She talked to some prominent lawyers and it was told that GC stands invalid upon beneficiary's demise. I am not vouching for the exact terminology.
"Can his family return to US?"
--Somebody in the forum was suggesting that she can use new GC to get back into the country. I wouldn't take that bold step. She has to consult some lawyer here and weigh in the repurcussions. Mother and daughter must be going through tremendous grief already. For some reason, if the officer finds out that her GC is invalid and denies entry into the country at POE, it is going to be an unbearable blow for them. It would have been a different story if she had not left the country.

Thanks,

Congratulations. Did you request 3 years based on approved I-140 and did you provide a client letter?

I guess people can have a choice? Photos do however put a "face" to our struggle.....people respond to people....:)
First off, great idea!! Great!!! Let's do it and I am in.
Agreed that it does put a "face" to our struggle but like fshah and you mentioned, people should have a choice just to make sure we do not lose anybody just because of a photograph.
It may not be about looks but also about privacy.

No receipts
I have another I-140 under EB3 with PD of Aug 2002 that got approved on 7-23 same employer. I want to interfile this one so that I can use the earlier PD. The attorney advised me to wait for receipts. So the receipts are critical to me.

a) you have brass balls. huge ones at that
b) the song "living on the edge" should be your constant theme song and should play as you walk around jangling those big brass orbs. :D
Hats off. i would never have the guts to pull off an international travelling coup like you did, especially post 9/11, especially after the attorney had asked you not to, with an expired H1 AND at the risk of losing the 485....
maybe the song "The Gambler" should play as you walk away and the credits roll...."know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em....know when to walk away....know when to run...."
Maan gaye guru. you are my new hero
scaredy cat that i am, i waited 7 years to visit India, and that was just to avoid F1 to H1 and visa stamping (of course this was right after 9/11)
..........because they didn't like the idea of my travelling after filing 485 as my H1 had expired- they were worried the 485 would be considered abandoned if I travelled without parole. I sort of told them I wont so its very awkward now to call up & tell them ' hey guess what-I ignored your advise and travelled and I'm back with my new visa stamp but its too clean for you to see?!'.

I agree with gc_check. He does not say US Master is superior than outside bachelors. He is just talking about facts and data.
How come someone can say it will bring a huge relief to the entire community without having any data about the pending applications. It is all about assumptions and if the assumptions turns correct, it would be good. But we cannot guarantee that.
We should know the below to say whether the bill would bring releif or not.
1. How many of MS degree holders are there in line?
2. How many EB2/EB3 are pending?
3. How many applications per country are pending?
4. How many dependents? No idea until someone files for it.
Under hypothetical situation, if you assume none are masters in EB2/EB3, then this bill would not bring any releif for retrogression. Also, if all the EB2/EB3 are masters then everything would be nearly current. To support this bill, we should know at least approximately where we would end up if this bill is passed. Without knowing it if we support it, then it is like shooting at the dark assuming soemthing would fall.
No, I'm not assuming everyone in EB3 has only a bachelors nor all EB2 have Masters. Have colleagues with MS degree, going through the same process as mine and stuck in EB3. After going through labor process twice, with one labor applied on 2001 through the first employer (No idea what happened to that), but left the employer for a better placement with my current/second employer, Started labor again in 2003, Although had 5+ experience at the time, when applied for labor, the job did not require Masters and the employer is a NASDAQ listed company and the In-house Legal Dept, follows every single rule to the book, so ended up in EB3 queue.
My point is I've never come across any statistics/data about number of EB applications that are pending with USCIS website or any other websites, and not sure if there is any data that suggests "X" EB2 and "Y" EB3 applications pending and of these only "n' numbers have US education... etc.. Unless we have such data, not sure how the PD's would move forward to help the vast majority, i think there are many folks who came here for work directly than for studies. Sadly USCIS will take years to get these data out :( if they have to sort the pending applications on these criteria. Could not see, how it will address the issue for folks like me.
These provisions are definitely a plus and will alleviate the issue a bit, but definitely not a solution to the EB issue we have and I'm sure many folks will agree with me. Unless we have a provision, that will allow AOS while the numbers are not available. Only this provision can provide IMMEDIATE benefit to almost all members in this group, in my view.

I agree that software jobs in INDIA are more in number compared to Canada. Ofcourse India as our HOME country, we will be closer to friends and family. But work culture in India not really great compared to USA/Canada/west. I worked in almost 5 countries and only in India it is expected to work most of the weekends and long nights. I know a lot of people whose salary in Canada (particularly Alberta/Toronto) getting around $85 USD. So it is up to the person to choose between India/USA/Canada
That will always be there. At the end of the you have to accept India
has 1 billion plus population. Therefore per capital opportunities will always be limited.
All entrance exams etc are actually tests of elemination

1 Trillion $
US population 300 million.

I have inteacted with Microsoft Chinese engineers in Shanghai (MSDN support) . Life is tough there as well with very long hours ( by the way
work wise they are more sincere/better than us. It is just their english that
holds them back in the IT services sector...not to mention they have more suitable time difference with US)

Its a myth that numbersUSA is amenable to reforming green cards without increasing H1-B. The anti-immigrants will still cause a huge uproar if there is any increase in EB visas. They dont want to see additional immigration period. The only clauses that can possibly get through unscathed are those that do not increase visa numbers - things like filing 485 without a visa number, more mobility with EAD etc. I am starting to believe in this "silver medal" theory that has been doing the rounds on this forum - Last week showed that the anti-immigrants are fervently opposed to even re-capturing visas from past years let alone even a temporary increase in visa numbers. To say we are in for a very tough battle ahead would be an understatement.

All:
I have written a short message, which can be read in a minute or two....Please encourage your spouse to call the senators with this message:
----------
Hi, My name is XXX, I am calling from town, state. I am living is America
for the past n years. Me and my husband are legal immigrants and are waiting in the line to get a green card.
I am calling to discuss about the unprecedent actions taken by two federal
agencies in the past 2-3 weeks.
On June 13th Dept.of State issued visa bulletin stating that we can apply for
adjustment of status starting from July 2nd onwards. Adjustment of Staus also referred as AOS is the last step in the green card process.
In the next 2 weeks We had spent phenomenal amount of time , efforts and more than $xxx dollars on attorney fees,medical exams, Immunizations,
documentation, change in our travel plans etc to apply for Adjustment of status.
When we were all set to file our applications, on July 2nd morning, Dept.of State revised the July Visa Bulletin and announced that visa numbers are not available.
Following this U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced that they
will be rejecting all Adjustment of status applications.
These kind of revisions are unprecedented and has put the Legal Immigrant
community in lots of hardship.
Congress woman Zoe Lofgren who is also the Chairwoman for Subcommittee on Immigration and Citizenship has issued a statement regarding this.
I request the Senator to look into this and help the Legal Immigrant community.
Thank you for giving me this oppurtunity to express my opinion.
Have a nice day.

I need opinion on if it is do able. My labor was filed for a project manager and job description is as follows:
"Plan, direct, or coordinate activities of electronic data processing and information systems projects at financial services companies; use of sound knowledge of accounting principles, and the financial markets (including investment products); analysis and reporting of financial data."
I have been offered a job from a prominent Financial Services firm for the position of a Sr. Business Analyst with salary slightly more than what was mentioned in the labor and the job description as follows:
"Analyzing, Planning and coordinating activities of information systems projects in the investment technology area."
Can some experts please share their opinion if I can take it.
Job description looks "similar" to me. Titles may not matter. Though first title is more about "Directing" and second one is about "Coordinating and planning" What about job codes? . No large gap between salaries so you will be fine there as well. As long as Job codes are similar you will certainly be fine.

I received ANOTHER finger printing notice just for me saying "The FBI was unable process your finger print card. In order for the USCIS to continue processing your application, it will be necessary to have your prints retaken."
Is there a way I can ensure that this time it gets done correctly? Bunch of idiots we have working at the USCIS local offices!! I gave my first set of prints on Sep 25th and already there is a problem!
Has anyone been in the same boat before?
Have heard this before, A friend of mine, had to take FP atleast 3 times, before she got her card, Reason her hands were too soft/plain and the finger prints were not captured correctly for analysis.

The downpayment required for buying a house depends on the loan that you apply for and get approved. It can be anywhere from 3.5 % to as high as downpayment you want to make. If your downpayment is less than 22%, then you have to pay mortgage insurance per month. If its a regular traditional loan with less than 22% down, you have to pay PMI (private mortage insurance). If its an FHA loan (Federal housing authority), then you have to pay MI (Mortage insurance). FHA means that you are buying mortgage insurance from Federal govt. and the rate would be slightly lower. Also, with FHA, the minimum downpayment is 3.5%.
For making an offer on the house, whether its for sale under normal circumstances or under distress (foreclosure, short-sale), you have to put money in escrow (also known as earnest money). That money is kind of deposit that you put down so that if you suddenly change your mind at last minute, then they can take that money away from you. It basically ensures the sellers that you are serious about buying the house and its worth going thru trouble of selling process and the closing process. The Earnest money is escrow is variable. It could be as low as 2000 dollars or as high as 3% of the value of house. Depends on the seller. If the seller is stubborn or worried, they may ask for high earnest money. IN case of short-sale, the bank may ask for higher amount of earnest money so that they get offers only from serious buyers and not just trolls.
I closed escrow last month and already moved into new home. Here are the alternatives I got for financing:
#1. FHA loan 3.5% down, high interest rate, mortgage insurance, also high salary requirement.
#2. Bank loan 15% down, slightly lower interest rate, mortgage insurance till 22% payment is done 5-6 years, moderate salary requirement.
#3. Bank loan 20% down, lowest intesres rate, no mortgage insurance, lowest salary requirement.
(Please note that earlier loan refusal rates used to be 5% of loan application. Now, it seems, it has become higher. Came across people, who decided to buy, applied for loan, that got refused after 3-6 weeks. Banks are careful of property value, while giving loan)
