thanks, it sure clarifies things.. and from what I read, these applications work in parallel. RFE on one application has no efffect on the other one. you just have to wait for one of them to come through, mostly probably EB1A. once you get approved on EB1A, they will cancel the remaining 2 applications. Good luck..
There is a reason for multiple I 140s in my case. There are benefits to each of them:
1. EB2 PERM based: already have it approved.
2. EB2 NIW:
3. EB1A (My best bet!)
Hope this clarifies....

Thanks for the info. I still have a few doubts.
For 1. I will be having the marriage certificate at the time of filing, which will be in July. That time my spouse will be in India, as she will apply for her H4 and then come (latest by August). What I wanted to know is that if my PD is NOV 2006, doesn't that make me current. I know people are saying that visa numbers may not be availabe in Sep, but if all PD are current till June 2007, and if my wife will get my PD, what difference does it make if she files in Aug or Dec 2007. What will happen in Dec that will not let her file I-485. I am meeting my attorney next week, but with the pathetic interview scheduling system, it would be good to know so I can get an earlier date for her.
The priority dates are current right now and anybody with approved labor can file 485 (concurrently with 140 if that is not approved/filed). Your priority date is Nov 06, so you can file now, but by the time your spouse is in US, the dates may retrogress (for example, lets say for discussion sakes - Jan 06). In that case, if the dates eligible for filing are before Nov 06, your wife will need to wait till the date becomes Nov 06 again. Hope this clarifies some of your questions.
I am in the same situation and trying to figure out the best way possible. Please let me know if you or anyone finds anything relevant. Thanks guys, this is a very good forum!!

Senator Durbin apparently going after Desi employers and Desi Outsourcing companies !
03/27/2007: Continuing Confusion in Immigration Reform Legislation
It is only one week that the immigrant community was elated by the introduction of a fantastic immigration reform bill (STRIVE) by Congressman Gutierrez in the House, but on the Senate side, there is a mess that is continously developing. We reported earlier that the two bipartisan leaders of Senator McCain and Senator Kennedy reportedly rifted their partnership. Now, another Senator is about to add confusion to this mess. News report indicates that Senator Durbin of Illinois may introduce within this week a legislation to put a block on the H-1B abuse and restrict the H-1B worker petitions. This move is totally shocking considering the fact that a rosy H-1B reform was just introduced as part of the STRIVE Act of 2007.
Reportedly, Senator Durbin will propose to make it mandatory that the employers engage in the recruitment of U.S. workers prior to filing a H-1B petition and file sworn statement in the form of attestation that they failed to locate a qualified U.S. worker as part of the H-1B petition. Currently, such attestation is mandated for the so-called H-1B dependent employers only. Additionally, the proposal reportedly would mandate the DOL's annual audit of the employers hiring 100 or more employees out of which 15% constitutes H-1B employees. Once such proposal is enacted, there will be substantial changes in the flow of foreign professional workers. At this time, H-1B visas lay a stepping stone for foreign professional workers to land in this country and to apply for permanent residence.
The late news that the FY 2008 H-1B cap may reach in one day on April 2, 2008 indeed raised a concern in the country as it can be taken as a pervasive abuse of this visa petitions by some employers. Part of the current clog in the employment-based immigrant visas for professional workers is arguably associated with the abuse of these visa petitions. Please stay tuned to this website for the development of this important news.

I have a question regarding use of EAD and living in Canada
My scenario
Currrently, I work on H1-B and am living in Canada (I cross US-Canada border everyday)
I am also a Canadian Citizen and used that to cross border everyday. So, far I never used the EAD
I recently got laid off, and planing on using my EAD for my next employment.
Questions
Once I start using the EAD, can I still live in Canada and work in US.
Is it necessary to live in US if one starts using EAD?

What if your state does not have a state chapter?
If you wish the entire immigrationvoice community to assist then some sharing of updates will be necessary outside of these.
What he said!
it is ok to contact any of the leaders for the update
you can link with a neighboring chapter, right now this is an action item being coordinated by the chapters so they have the info.

If you know about the Pilot Plus Program which is in effect in TSC I believe, you'll know what I mean. It just states that USCIS will process concurrently filed cases together to minimize time to process and achieve efficiency (non-concurrent filings not affected). Hence, only those 485s that fall in the current category get their 140 and 485s processed. Now that EB3 is U - there's no way they'll touch those concurrent cases.
In addition, I've also heard people talk about Ohata Memo - which says the same thing as Pilot Plus Program.
My point is not TSC or NSC - my point is we all sufferers should now unite and create pressure. I cant do alone , you cant do alone.
How do you want to contact AILA - why they should suddenly listen to a bunch of 10 stray immigrants like you , me ??
One thing i dont follow in your post how EB3 becoming U affect Processing times of I-140 ? I-140 doesn't depend on "Country of Origin" or "Retrogression".
Let me know !

The following write-up appears here courtesy of ChanduV23, one of our members. This has been edited for content and messaging:
Thank you ChanduV23
- On behalf of the Core IV Team
I am a highly-skilled professional who entered this country legally. I�ve been waiting for my US permanent resident visa -also known as "Green Card" for the past several years along with 500,000 other educated, highly skilled employment based (EB) immigrants. Many of us have been waiting for our turn to get Green Cards for 5-10 years while consistently abiding by all the laws of this country. Such long delays are due to tortuous and confusing paper work, backlogs due to various quotas and processing delays at US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) and other allied state and federal agencies.
Several categories of EB immigrant visa (Green Card) numbers have been unavailable (�retrogressed�) since the fall of 2005. Because our immigrant petitions are tied to the sponsoring employer, these delays have led to indentured servitude for several of us. Our professional prospects, job mobility and potential opportunities for entrepreneurship have been compromised.
For the past several decades, the US Department of State (DOS) has been publishing advisories known as visa bulletins once a month to announce the availability of immigrant visa numbers. On June 13, 2007, after a gap of nearly two years, DOS announced that all EB visa numbers would be �current� for the month of July. This meant, irrespective of our �priority date� (date assigned to us for our turn in the line for Green Cards), all of us were made eligible to apply for some interim immigration benefits. This �priority date� refers to the date when our labor certification (documentation verifying no US citizen worker was available for a given job) had been filed.
Please note that 6/13 DOS announcement would not have led to immediate green card for most of us; but at least it would have ensured us interim benefits such as the right to travel and right to work- this was still a welcome change. Especially, for dependent spouses who have been otherwise unable to work, this would have translated into right to travel and work without restriction and thus channel their energies positively. Several dependent spouses are also highly-skilled. This would provide them an opportunity to realize their technical and entrepreneurial expression and add to tax dollars. Additionally, this would have greatly reduced the paperwork burden on our sponsoring US employers.
Tens of thousands of applicants spent thousands of dollars in legal fees, immigration medical exams & vaccinations & getting various supporting documents ready to file our immigrant petitions to USCIS, at times inconveniencing our old parents in our home countries as well. It has been an agonizing two weeks for us. Some of us to had to fly in our spouses from our home countries or have had to cut short business trips. To our shock and dismay, on the morning of July 2nd 2007, USCIS announced that EB visa numbers were not available and all petitions filed in July would be rejected.
For the legal skilled immigrants this has been a rather traumatizing and disheartening experience.
We sincerely seek immediate congressional/ legislative remedial measures which would
(1)Reduce the enormous backlogs of green card petitions of legal skilled immigrants
(2)Ensure and request USCIS not to reject our immigrant visa petitions filed in July and provide us interim benefits of a pending immigrant visa petition. We make this sincere request on this Independence Day with the hope that people who played by the rules will be rewarded.
I was wondering if we can use this template and your press release ( http://www.prlog.org/10022648-no-celebration-for-thousands-of-highly-skilled-future-americans-this-july-4th.pdf) to let our local news media know. Thanks

I am trying to find out more about the priority date porting - any pointers to details on how/when it is allowed? From various threads it appears that some of these are successful, but in other cases, some attorneys may not even pursue PD porting.
If the I-140 is approved with the previous employer (for over 2 years) but I-485 has not been filed, does PD porting require that the new GC application have exactly the same job profile as the one for which the original Labor was filed and I-140 approved?
Thanks.

Hello All -
I am planning to get my PP renewed at the NY consulate and had a couple of questions and I was hoping someone could shed some light on them.
i) The DC website states that one can *only* apply 6 months before expiration date but the NY website does not? Mine is going to expire in ~8 months. Anyone know if it is 6 mo across all consulates?
ii) They have it in big red font that the photograph should be 3.5 cm * 3.5 cm, the US standard PP size is 50 mm * 50 mm .. any ideas where I can get them done in the right dimension?
iii) If applied in person do they issue the PP the same evening?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience esp. at the NY consulate
