There might be very few cases 3 years degree approved in EB2 category. Try in EB3.
If you don't care about money try one application in EB3 then try to port it to EB2.
Gurus,
Sorry for not mentioning in my first post earlier... Just now I received a copy of the Letter which my company received from the USCIS. It is mentioned as "NOTICE OF INTENT TO DENY (NOID)".
Reasons:
- Section 203(b)(2)(A) of the Act states
- 8 C.F.R 204.5(I)(3)(ii)(C)
These are related to the Education for 3 yrs degree..
- What is the next step ?
- What is the chance of a positive result?
Thank you,
Regds,
Raju

I have a big hunch that CIR is some how related for making the dates current. This may be a shrewed strategy to keep the legal immigrants quiet and then proceed to "illegal" game.
It may quiet happen that even with 485 filled we get our green card applications revoked due a backdoor ammendment by Grassley.
This might be planned trap.....

I applied my first H1B extension through my company in June 2008. On 11th Feb, I received REF. I am very much tense about it. Since I am out of project. I got cleared my I 140 with this company in July 2008.
I applied H1B transfer(Normal process) also in October 2008 to other company . This one is still pending.
I am very much tense about my status. Please suggest me what to do?
Is it better to answer to RFE for first company?
or
Can I do PP with second company? or else any better thing?
Thanks
Vidya

Listen,
What difference does it make if it is EB@ or EB3, the point is, we should stand UNITED we all benefit. If the recapture visa bill passes, then we all will benefit.
Please don't post any more viewpoints stating " I wont fight"
It is your loss and everyone's . If you choose to step out of IV and fight all by yourself, I wish you all the best.
We senior members have been fighting for the greater cause, it for you junior members to carry this forward. The foundation of IV has to be strong, it has been strong.
IV has not patience for people who want to discriminate between EB2 or EB3, we need people who see a broader perspective of things, EB community as a whole.
If the recapture visa bill passes, think we all will benefit, will we still question about EB2 or EB3.
Please be wise and be patient, we need everyone to change this system

Thanks for bringing this up.. This is a legitimate concern.. Lets just hope this doesn't happen to any of us... Although hope is all we can do for now...:(
Has anyone considered the implications of identity theft, fraud etc if the USCIS does start returning the adjustment of status applications? When my daughter applied for adjustment of status a couple of years ago her application was rejected erroneously and returned to her. When she opened the package, it not only contained her information, but also someone else's highly confidential and personal documents. The documents were completely mixed in with hers - all out of order - and even the other person's check was returned to her. The person's case was also very time sensitive and of an extremely confidential nature.
We gathered up the information and personally returned it the local USCIS office - who told us it happens all the time! We sent a letter to the person concerned telling him what had happened and advising him to contact the office immediately.
Imagine what might happen if the USCIS starts returning the 1000's of July applications. There is a good possibility they could mix up applications, return them to wrong addresses or lose valuable paperwork. They certainly won't return applications via Fedex or UPS - they'll just throw them in the mail without any way to track them.
Many green card applicants, have social security numbers and have been working for years to build good a credit history. Anyone getting hold of these packages will have access to all personal history, addresses and of course the bank account information on the checks sent to pay the application fees. Just a thought . . .

Can H1 be extended on basis that I-485 filled and pending for more then 1 year?
GCCovet
Theoretically yes; because for a 485 to be pending for more then one year; then the labor has to be older then one year and/or the 140 is older then one year.
I think the situation that you may be talking about is where 140 has been revoked but 485 has been pending for more then one year. The law only talks about 140 and labor older then one year. If one tried to do it this way and uscis should question you then there is no legal basis of doing it.
That being said; I do know of a case where a person did get an extension even though the 140 had been revoked. Had to be a fluke and I wouldn't say that it is the norm; because there is no legal basis for it.

apahilaj,
Is yours a paper file or Efile?
Did you send your's & your wife application together (one packet) or separately?
Just a quick update
Today my checks got cashed and from the back of the checks I got the receipt numbers. I was able to track these numbers on USCIS site and the EAD application for myself and my wife is now pending at TSC.
So the mailing address to Mesquite, TX turned out to be the correct location for me to file...

Below is data of PD from last four years for EB2-I - only for Jun, Jul & Aug.

Has anything changed in spillover laws in last 1 year - which will explain this no movement in July but in August?
Jun 06 : 01JAN03 | July 06 : 01JAN03 | August 06 : U ---> No change in July. Aug backward
Jun 07 : 01APR04 | July 07 : C | August 07 : U ---> July Fiasco

Jun 10 : 01FEB05 | July 10 : ?????? | August 10 : ???? ---> Do your really expect forward movement in July?
Hope to see some movement in coming months .....

Hello guys,
My frustration is increasing and patience going down. I am strongly considering moving back to India. When planning the move, a few questions popped in my head the answer to which I am not able to find (yet); hence putting it out here.
1. How can I inform SSN department or credit bureau that I am not longer in USA..hence no one can use my SSN even if it gets stolen? Is there a way to "lock" things down?
2. What happens to 401K? Is there a IRS tax law that says because this guy was on H1-B and leaving..don't charge him the 40% penalty?
2.1 After 40% in penalty and 30% in taxes...with the market beaten down...not much remains...wonder if it's even worth touching it. So if I decide to leave the money here in my 401K account, what happens when I want to withdraw it? Rather what is the best way to withdraw it?
3. Any estimates on how much it costs to ship things back to India? I live in 2 bedroom apt..so have the usual stuff.....couch, bed, tv, clothes of many sizes, lots of kitchen utensils. Just an average...I understand things can vary a lot.
4. PIO card has the passport number of my son on it...the passport will expire when he is five year old. So do I get a new passport number? If so what happens to the PIO card? Do I need to get a new one?
Others, please feel free to add to the list of questions.
Thanks

The media caters to its audience just like any other business nterested in its own customers. When markets worldwide rise or fall in response to election results in India, it gets major media attention everywhere because the audience is interested. Diwali is as unimportant in America as Thanksgiving in the U.K. There is no point fretting over it. Diwali could become newsworthy when people globally start tracking shopping sales in India since their businesses might depend on them. It's better to sharpen our skills so that we can seamlessly join the global highway than to sit on the sides cursing those passing by that they don't care about us.

Some scenarios to consider
1. If 140 is approved and its been 6 months since date of 485 application and your company who sponsored is not revoking 140, then ability to pay might not matter and you don't care since you can use AC21
2. If 140 is approved and it has not been 6 months since 485 application date and you are on good terms with and your employer is not going to revoke your 140 , take an unpaid vacation to fill the 6 months gap if you can, then you are still safe to use AC21.
3. If your 140 is not approved but you have passed the 180 days litmus test and you use AC21 to move to another employer then the ability to pay might come in to picture if any RFE is done by USCIS.
4. If 140 is not approved and you have not passed 180 days its a variation of the 2nd case and if you can pull it off you can use AC21 and work elsewhere later.
there might be other scenarios but consider each of them carefully before making the decision. While it might seem a simple decision having come so far in your journey you don't want to make as wrong decision only to rue it.
- good luck
Hello Krishnam
I have a I-485 pending, and there is a chance I may be laid off after 180 days. Would I have to have another similar job offer at hand, or can I still continue looking for a job after 180 days of I-485 till I find one ?
Thank you for your help.

Well here is what I have thought of doing if I get into your shoes when I140, US GC looks dicey. (I already have Canadian PR till August 2010).
I would take a three/four week vacation and go and live there. Prepare for a job and get first hand ground feeling of what it feels like living in Canada, make a living and raise a family. After all making a living to able to support yourself is a important corner stone thing. You can't live of fresh air.
Can you compare your situation ? No. You are not the same nature, skills, personality, intelligence and willingness as others and most of all your own Luck. You know yourself best and the only way you can tell that the place will work out for you is when you go get a sample for yourself and your gut feeling. I went to Vancouver and just loved the place. My wife saw the clouds and gloom and hates the place (spoilt by southern california). You will be your best judge.
Take the harshest sample: Winter is tough in Canada. Go now and take a feel of what you will be expecting and set your expectation.
Info: Approx 90% of the Canadian population lives within 100-200 miles north of the US border.
Down the road: Make a plan and see whats your options down the road. Looking back is no good way of planning for the future. 3 years + few months, you can be Canadian Citizen. You have then the option of using TN and come right back into the USA, if you even have the need. Looking back now I feel I should have started this journey 2 years back. In the next year or so I would be a Canadian and could have come right back without the 140 and 485 headache. After two years I am still holding my breath for 140. Rightfully, Heaven is where I feel at peace. US has made me feel miserable and bitter after 9 years of rough rollercoaster and no end in sight. Can't buy a house, can't live freely, always on the edge and mercy of the Boss and H1B.
Having Canadian PR in hand is like having a bird in your Hand, and US GC is like two birds in the bush (I feel the birds are in Bush in Texas :) and its going to eat me, rather than I eating it) You don't even have the US Bird in sight and the story is getting tougher....
All options good. Go spend some time in Canada and see what your gut feel says.

I did call the Airport Authorities stated in CBP.gov and they have confirmed that since it was not a mistake on their side and the I-94 was issued for the validity of the passport, I need to file for I-102 and the new I-94 for hte duration of my visa tenure I should send the original I-94 to the local Immigration Jurisdiction and pay them $320.00 to process this application.

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!!

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!!
