Do they have a signature authorization from you? If not , they can not send a G-28 that is not signed by YOU !
even my employer didnt allow us to file saying, if employee files, FBI will get mad thinking it has toxics in it :D :D :D
trust me thats what they told me..dunno what he thinks..:) :)
but the point is I sent my docs to my employer and I didnt include any G-28 in it..which means we signed as we prepared all docs..
Now can they attach G-28 and introduce themselves as representatives and swallow all receipts???

I plead Guilty, but to lesser charges.
As a long time EB3 sufferer (and will continue to suffer for a long time to come, 7 years and counting), it is very difficult to sign up for "hang in there, and hang in together". By now my spinal cord is at the breaking point, I was 5.4 when I started hanging in there, now I am 7.2 and growing (check out the latest Guinness book of record for the longest neck).
IV has done a lot, and I applaud it for doing so. However, I don't subscribe to "hang in together" mantra anymore (the current EB1 spill-over still rankles me), but I don't use IV for such discussion anymore. *Some* EB2'ers initially bashed us for being silly and jealous, and now they want EB3s to not port. Just as the reputation I have shored up, it looks like "EB3s are infamous around these parts".

Haha. That is an accurate assessment at a 50-foot level. I was pretty disillusioned after a couple of years of working. A mixture of what the fuck am I doing, but not really knowing what to do, and all confused because I was at probably the biggest firm around and and a feeling of even if I switch, what's the point? And not having the balls to switch jobs, for the fear of throwing away what I had, mixed with personal struggles with life and not having the social life that I wanted.
In between all this, the desire to get the GC process kicked off came and went, esp. since I wanted to switch positions to a more people oriented role, and the feeling of gosh, do I want to stay in 6+ years in this job - maybe if I file, then I won't want to change jobs.
As you can see, even I am not sure what was going on there. But my personal life and acclimatizing has sorted itself out rather well of late, and I do want to stay here now that I have a really interesting life (and partly out of fear of throwing everything away and moving somewhere new).
Now, I know that IV is not a self-help trauma group, so I will cut short my story here, which has little to do with the raw facts of my immigration situation :)
And yes, I did not participate or know much about the visa process, or IV till recently, and am a recent need based participant, but I hope that does not stop anyone from contributing their ideas to help me out.
*** Also, to the previous poster (nojoke) who said that big companies usually hold off on perms, are you suggesting that I have a better chance at a smaller company then?
UPDATE: My company attorney suggested talking about this in April, and I am nervous about waiting till then in limbo - things are only going bad to worse, I might as well find a job at a place which will sponsor a PERM sooner rather than later.
I request you to PM me if you have any leads for such companies might still be a good bet for filing a PERM.
uhh..damn immigration process..

What is your idea/plan to do with this Data ? My Eb3 140 is pending since May 2007 at NSC. What are they up to - why the dates are NOT moving beyond Mar 2007 ? Who can ask this questions to NSC , we don't have the authority to do that.
I found 1 point to drive this - there are lots of peoples who got EB3 140 approved after my Receipt Date May 2007. If we can compile that data in spread sheet and share that with our Local Congressman/Senator just to show them how NSC is mis managed that might create some pressure - what do you folks say ?
Thanks!
Hi Guys,
This is a small list I have compiled. Can we all share our RECEIPT #'s, CATEGORY and PD's & COUNTRY as well, so we have another method to gauge how NSC is/not processing our files. I will update the list with your postings. Thanks!

From what I know TN visa is not dual intent like H1B. So you can't continue processing your GC when holding a TN visa.
Changing citizenship does not affect how Priority Dates are recaptured (aka pd porting).
Once you are Canadian citizen, you can also avail TN visa (in addition to H-1B) to work for US employer.

Does she need her H4 approved to have her prospective employer file the I 129? (or) Can she just provide the notice of action she received for her H4 extension filing along with her I 129 to show that she is maintaining status?
Any one??
This is what the 129 instructions specify. I think that you will have to wait until the new I94 with the new dates is issued. Hopefully she will get it before April 1.
Change of Status.
In addition to the initial evidence for the classification you are requesting, a petition requesting a change of status for an alien in the United States must be submitted with a copy of the employee's(s) Form I-94, Nonimmigrant Arrival/Departure Record.

*) Have an emergency cash fund that would last atleast 6 months without changing your lifestyle. If you lose job, a bit frugal living could stretch that 6month fund to 9 or 10 months. (this could be cash; or assets that would not lose their value and could be cashed at a short notice.)
Do not leave this entire fund in a checking/savings account; nor put it under your mattress.
Have some cash at hand ($1K or $2K); - this is to avoid ATM issues, run on the bank etc.
Put some of it in a 3 month CD;
Put some of it as precious metals (gold etc) - this will protect you against the dollar losing its value, yet the metal is easily saleable.
Put some of it in a money market account that yields a little better than the savings account, yet immediate cash availability.
Distribute your savings between atleast a couple of banks. (If a bank goes under, I do not know how long it takes to get access to your cash which is FDIC insured upto $100K (250K under the bailout plan)).
*) Credit is really tight right now. So... if you have any good offers of pre-approved credit, take it. Keep it aside.
*) Do not worry about your home losing its value. Enjoy the house; hopefully it will appreaciate back to your purchase price in a couple of years.
*) Pay the minimum home payments.
*) Atleast put enough in your 401K to get the employer match. That is free money you do not want to forego. Most likely, you will still be ahead if you have to cash out your 401K. (i.e. penalty + tax of an early withdrawal would most likely be less than the employer matched funds)
*) Enjoy time with family. Keep an eye for opportunities. Keep updating your skillset.

However this smacks of unfairness as well. See this comment on Greg Siskind's blog (http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/2007/07/service-centers.html#comments) in response to the news about TSC holding the applications while NSC's been retirning them and some July 02 packages have been returned as well.
Greg,
Where did you get this news? If they partially returned some cases received on July 02, it is very very very unfair for those got returned. They were the first getting in the line and now they have to wait at the end of the line??? If USCIS is going to treat the returned cases that way, they will face more lawsuits to come. If they are to hold later on cases, they have have have to allow the returned cases to be sent back and put in front of the line, with delivery notice as the proof of getting sent back.
This is very annoying notice indeed.

I thought that I will share my recent experience.
I arrived in USA in 2003 on a L1 visa.
It was expiring soon, but instead of renewing, because of fear of denial, my company converted me to H1 using premium processing.
Department of state was going to close the VISA revalidation process, so in 2004 I sent my passport to them and got a h1 Stamp (within the USA).
I changed my employer later using H1 transfer and they kept renewing my H1 petition.
My new employer also started my GC processing and in Jul 2007 I applied for my 485 along with wife's.
Since then I have been working with the same employer on EAD.
After a long time I wanted to visit India, so applied and got my AP.
Although I had my AP, I wanted to visit India, get an h1 stamp and reenter on H1.
This is because EAD is taking too long for renewal.
I went to India, visited Mumbai Consulate, they did not ask me a single document.
They understood that I was asking for a stamp after 7 years, so they asked me "so your GC process is ON huh?". I said, "Yup".
No other questions asked.
I got my h1 stamp in 2-3 days.
Planning to reenter USA on that stamp.
Once I return my company will switch me from EAD to H1.
Hopefully EAD will arrive after that.
I will just keep that handy.
If I move to another employer, I will have a choice, use H1 or EAD.
I am keeping my H1 for the only reason, that if 485 gets rejected for any stupid reasons, I will have a way to fall back on something.
I have a house and a small kid born in the USA, don't want to have ANY illegal status, even for a day.
Wife will continue to work on EAD.
H1 is valid for 3 years, so I can travel to and fro USA to other countries with much more ease than the AP.
Plus I don't have to pay the crazy AP fees each time.
Please do comment if you find this information useful or any issues in my plans stated above.
I will update this post when I arrive back in USA.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Please let us know where did you get your stamping and also what questions and documents were asked?
Thanks.

First thing is why members have found that title is scary? I dont think it is scary......it might attract your attention. Probably most of people who got scared might be using EAD or are considering using it.<br><br>
I think using AC21 does not imply that 485 will be denied.<br><br> In a hypothetical situation lets assume it is denied we need to find why it is being denied? One can always switch to h1b (with previous employer - should be valid when AOS is denied) by going to home country and getting h1b stamp on passport but even before you have to do it you can appeal in court and you will be able to stay here.
<br><br> I was discussing the same issue today with Ron Gotcher ( you can find it on his website as I have the same userid) and he said unless you are inadmissible or commit a fraud or have broken immigration law in past AOS is not denied. Just in case if you have done any of the above three things then your AOS can be denied and you can not even get any type of non immigrant visa..........<br><br> For using AC21 just make sure that:<br><br>
140 is approved<br><br>Your GC sponsor will not revoke 140<br><br>Your GC job description and new EAD job description are same or similar (title does not matter) <br><br> ONet code for both the jobs match.<br><br><br><br> If you ensure the above things then there is no issue using EAD for a job after 180 day of filing 485.<br><br> Hope this helps and people who got scared does not gives me red dots for speaking aloud.
<br><br> Support IV and make the difference for yourself and everyone else in the immigrant community.
appealing/motion to reopen doesn't allow you to stay in USA.
If employer revokes 140 then no basis for getting h-1b extensions.

I am under the impression that atleast in Illinois, the local law enforcement (police) CANNOT ask for the legal status or check any documents if it is a routine traffic stop or just pull you over and then ask for the documents. I know for a fact as this had become a big issue at one of the Chicago's northern suburbs recently and was in news for quite some time. There were two sections of citizens who wanted police to check and others (ACLU) argued that legal status was a federal jurisdiction and the local law enforcement were not authorized to check and violated the rights.
I think only ICE or CBP can ask that and how many of them are around in cities/ towns far away from the border?
I assume the same is true with other Police Depts.
