Why would you want to do that? I am EB-2, waiting for GC but don't consider myself to have some sort of monopoly over EB-2.
EB-2 or EB-3 is not our birthright. It's just a matter of circumstance that many of us found ourselves in one category or other. It does not even necessarily mean any difference in skill or experience. There are many people in EB3 with Masters degrees and many people with over 10 yrs experience.
Dude everybody wants their GC. If you want to fight injustice fight for something positive. You will only get bad Karma by undercutting other people :mad:

About three years back I was in India working for a major US silicon company. They have a policy that an employee can seek other jobs inside the company after 18 months in the currrent position.
Per this policy some employees from the India division were filling in US positions through L visas which bothered some of the top guys who quickly clamped this down.
They said US positions cannot be filled by Chinese, Indians and Israelies as this would open a floodgate as every employee in these countries will queue up to relocate to the US. Other countries were fine. But the problem was such a restriction is against the standard US policy of "no discrimination b nationality....". So they solved the problem by not writing down this ban. It was orally communicated to hiring managers and when they saw resumes from India employees, they would just delete them.
So everyone knows about this ban, but it is not written down anywhere. On paper, the company continues to be open and does not discriminate hiring based on nationality.

Dude,
Sunnysurya is busy trying to get people for the lawsuit. He will not reply to you.
According to IV Tracker, his EB2 PD is Nov 2005. He has filed in Nebraska.
Thanks
Calling all EB3-I with PD before Nov 2005. Please get 3 desi firm names from Sunny_Surya and start EB2 filing. Then port your PD's.

[QUOTE=addsf345;726872]I have similar experience. I moved to sunrocket (which is now teleblend) from vonage. I pay half of what I used to pay vonage for same services/usage.
currently teleblend offers $50 unlimited india calling + ofcourse US+canada unlimited. However as now vonage has come up with $25 world plan, I am sure teleblend would come up with something similar soon... may be $20 world plan or so. As they always price it below vonage. Let's hope! competition is good for consumer.[/QUOT
I belive ultimately all the big phone service providers like Reliance, Airtel and Tata will reduce the calling rates to match/beat VOIP providers like Vonage.
This will be the saving grace to keep down the telephone expenses.

I dont know of any link to a particular publication, but I thought it was a common knowledge that the whole point of labor certification process, is for the DOL to monitor that a potential US worker (I thought it meant US Citizen but may be not), is not being displaced by a foreign worker. To be clear here though, the DOL does not prevent an employer from going ahead and sponsoring an H1B and hiring a foreign employee. But DOL is legally directed to reject such labor applications.
Though this is applicable only for H1B hiring and subsequent filing of GC process for such an employee, I am wondering whether there is any loophole in DOL's directives that might provide a cover for employers to enquire whether a propective employee is US Citizens are not.... Especailly in the PERM process don't they have to do active recruiting efforts and gather statiscis that they tried to hire US citizens ..?? How can an employer gather statistics if they didn't ask for work authorization related details....?
May be due to possible loopholes in such laws...they are able to take it a step further and enquiring about the kind of work authorization a candidate possesses!
There are no loopholes. I do not find anything that explicitly states that a US citizen should be given preference over GC or other immigrants. On the contrary, the employment laws explicitly prohibits discrimination based on nationality and immigration status. The whole point of PERM is to protect the "US worker", not just US citizen. See the following -
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_permfl.html
http://www.ailc.com/perm-labor-certification.htm
http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/perm.cfm
http://www.dol.gov/dol/allcfr/eta/title_20/part_656/20CFR656.3.htm
They all refer to "US worker" not "US Citizen". I do not see any reason to panic over this.
For the purposes of PERM, the employer only needs to know whether the candidate is legally authorized to work in the US. They do not need to know if the person has a green card or is a citizen or a refugee, etc.
HOWEVER, I am not able to find a concrete definition of a "U.S worker". I am not able to conclusively determine if a person in AOS using EAD falls under the umbrella of a "U.S. Worker" as defined by the law. I would think it would, since somebody on EAD is not just specific to EB immigrants. It applies to FB, refugees, agricultural workers, and a whole bunch of other immigrants.
So, I guess it all boils down to what is the legal status of somebody who has 485 pending, EAD, and AP? At that point you are no longer on H-1B. Is this status covered in the definition of a "U.S. worker"? ... Anybody?

I came here on F1 and i was on F1 when we applied for 485.

I changed my status from F1 to H4 once i graduated.I never traveled after i came here.
Will i face any problems in future when our pd becomes current.
Our lawyer says there should not be any problem but i don't know if he is correct.:(

But again if I recollect you are the enlightened enitity "Avatar" as I had once said.....so it is best not to get into an argument with you ....there are much more pressing needs in the forum "getting GC for one" than talking about things communist and progressive.

It call for filling status info for ALL NON NATIVE BORN US CITIZENS
It provides 4 options ( abcd) & none of the option is applicable for 485 filers as in each case it either asks for derived citizenship or admitted permanent residents .
I hope ther is some other form
Can you all check this issue & find out the catch ?
thanks

If I hadn't already spent $34 on sending flowers to USCIS, I would have definitely sent a "bon voyage" bouquet to you.
To anyone still thinking about sending flowers, do this woman a favor, and send her flowers instead!
Hello all
I am a silent visitor of this website.
Just my 2 cents... Don't think USA is like India where you can do something forcefully. Why don't you guys understand the real problem of USCIS.
Do you think that by sending flower to USCIS will force them to make EB2/EB3 current for 2005/2006/2007 guys??
Please try to understand their problem.
Also India is the great. Why don't you guys just think that India is your home country where you are born and brought up. Why you people can't just wait and watch?? If nothing happens to the so called GC, then why don't you think to pack up and go back to India???????
My sincere request, please don't do rally, you might be arrested......you never know what they can do..... Don't you think that, it is better to go back to India rather than being embarrassed here in US???
Isn't it a shame on us to go for Rally to get GC?????:D
Just think that you will get it when time comes, otherwise pack up.
Please don't take much tension as life is very short. I am assuring you all, nothing will happen with law suit and flower campaign.Don't irritate USCIS by doing all this please.
