I have been through this situation and now work for consulting company. Actually I got layed off without notice in 6th year of my h1b with Labor pending in backlog. I had no resources, tools and no one gave me any consultations, everyone told me "go find another job". In 20 days I found myself a 6 month contract assignment and had a consulting company transfer my h1b and they also applied for my 7th year extension based on pending labor from my layed off company. I went for stamping at Chennai and was through, applied for GC through EB2 PERM and got my 140 approved also and now I just got used to consulting and this is my 3rd contract position with the same company and I earn 50% more than what I was earning 5 years on my fulltime job. Now that I got used to consulting, I would want to think twice if I have to get a fulltime job offer on h1b. Everything is so customozable in a good consulting company , like moving charges, allowances, expenses, traavel expenses, can be worked out in good faith.
In general, there is an unofficial grace period of atleast a month, stretchable to 2 months based on case to case and worst comes, if a job hunt exceeds 2 months, then your new job, they may give you a h1b approval but you have to get it stamped immediately as they wont attach an i 94 with it, I have seen this happen to people.
In your case, as you already have an approved 140, you have to smartly get copies of all your documents and look for a genuine consulting company, get letterheads and keep contacts with some good friends and have them give you an experience letter and move on. You can get 3 years transfer and also retain your PD. If you qualify for eb2 in new company, then you can port eb3 PD while you take advantage of eb2 movement.
Good luck

I would go with the prediction in the Jan 2010 Visa Bulletin:
WHAT ARE THE PROJECTIONS FOR CUT-OFF DATE MOVEMENT IN THE EMPLOYMENT PREFERENCES FOR THE REMAINDER OF FY-2010?
Based on current indications of demand, the best case scenarios for cut-off dates which will be reached by the end of FY-2010 are as follows:
Employment Second:
China: July through October 2005................CHINA IS ALREADY AT NOV 2005...SO THIS HAS HAPPENED
India: February through early March 2005.........ONE MONTH BEHIND HERE....NOT BAD WITH THE PREDICTION
If Section 202(a)(5)were to apply:
China and India: October through December 2005 ..................THIS IS THE SPILLOVER CHANCES FOR JULY-SEPT 2010....MOST LIKELY IT WILL CLOSE AT JAN 1, 2006
I tend to agree with you. Projections by DOS seems to be closer to reality.
I would stay conservative contrary to many other predictions.
1) China moving to Nov 2005 is a good thing for India. This means India will get all the remaining fall-down/fall-across numbers until priority date reaches Nov 2005. After that both India and China will share and move the dates by a month or so. This should get India to Dec 2005 to Jan 2006.
2) Many see the dates have not moved much for so many months. So they can be skeptical about the date movements in the last few months. The reason why i anticipate much larger movements in the final months is due to the fact that India gets about 3 times more visas through fall-across/fall-down than what is alloted for just India.
2009 info
Country cap for Eb-2 - aprox. 2800
2009 India for Eb-2 was 10,116.
fall-down/fall-across numbers 10,116 - 2800 = aprox. 7316
So we can see that visa movement for India (Eb-2) is greatly influenced by the number of fall-down/fall-across which seem to happen mostly in the last quarter.

As per USCIS official report as of end-August, there were more than 500,000 pending AOS applications:
http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/APPLICATIONS%20FOR%20IMMIGRATION%20BENEFITS_Aug07. pdf
So, if we estimate that there were about 100,000 more AOS applications receipted during September and October, that is a total of 600,000.

People do not agree and have different ideas - sometimes to the point of personal hurt! - this is natural. They have different interests and even when they have shared goals, sometimes their paths to those shared goals may diverge - this is natural, too. Yes, differences, discussion and divergence can lead to a final separation and then two or mroe new groups are born - and it can happen naturally and it does not have to be rushed or forced through censorship and persecution. But sometimes debates and differences actually help the whole group to stay together and find a better path or a better solution - in the heat of the discussion and in the fight of the dualling arguments a new idea, approach or solution is born. I do think that a lot of the most contentious discussions on this forum are actually the most important and interesting ones because those are the oens that will cut to the heart of the problem and reveal the real depths of the issues. Suppression of diverging opinions is the hallmark of dictatorships.
I agree with you and its good in many situations, but i think unfortunately this does not apply here... if we are not united and don't march together towards our ultimate goal... it will only make us look disorganized and we will come across as a bunch of self centered highly educated fools who don't care about the big picture.
For those who dont agree with what IV is doing, no one's forcing them to follow what IV does and certainly no ones forcing them to be here, but if you are here then you should at least trust the organization in what they do.
If you have ideas talk to the core and discuss with them in person or call them... i m sure they will be glad to take it up if the idea benefits everyone and not just me or you... breaking off driving folks in different direction is not the solution, it will snow ball into a big problem.

Q1: Yes
Q2: I-140 does not include any dependents. Without visa availability Child protection act does not work.
I guess that leaves only two options. Either leave US or file for his/her own Green Card application. Too bad.

a marked up bill, ready for the house, could sneak through in the post election season. we have to keep trying!
Thanks Paskal!

Then suddenly one day I got a message that my parents were seriously sick. I tried but I couldn't get any holidays and thus could not go to India. The next message I got was my parents had passed away and as there was no one to do the last rights the society members had done whatever they could.
Though the moderator asked further postings to be stopped, I just wanted to let folks know that under FMLA (Federal law - Family Medical Leave Act), employers must give a vacation of upto 12 days (paid or unpaid depending on availability of vacation days) when immediate family members expired.

interesting that you created an account just to post this...
HOUSTON: A federal jury has found five people guilty of conspiring to obtain fraudulent work visas for nearly 90 Indian nationals in exchange for at
least $20,000 per visa, the US Attorney's Office said.
Mahendrakumar "Mack" Patel, 55, Rakesh Patel, 36, Alberto Pena, 38, Bernardo Pena, 38, and Marte Othon Villar Sr, 48, encouraged and induced the illegal immigration of Indian nationals in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars per visa, a statement from the US Attorney's Office said yesterday.
The jury found that Alberto and Bernardo Pena, twin brothers from Brownsville, along with co-defendants had encouraged and induced 87 individuals from Gujarat to unlawfully enter US on temporary H-2B visas, knowing that the Indian nationals did not intend to work for the company that was used to get visas for them.
The brothers also knew that the visa-seekers did not intend to return to India when their 10-month visas expired, a statement said.
Pena twins also travelled to India to assist the Indian nationals with the application process and visited and corresponded with the US Consulate in Mumbai.
Two other co-defendants -- Mack Patel of Ft Worth and Rakesh Patel, a Houston pharmacist -- pleaded guilty for recruiting Indian citizens who were willing to pay $20,000 to $60,000 in exchange for visas to enter the United States

I applied for H1B extension in october 2006 as my H1B was about to expire in December. After five months of applying, got an RFE in Febraury 2007 . My employer replied to the query in Mid March 2007. My employer was reluctant to do a premium processing when he replied the query, saying that he doesnt want to take any risk. CSC transfered my case to Seattle, WA field office ( the field office is no where near my employers physical location, not even close to where I live) on April 4th. I guessed that its because of new H1 petitions filed in April. Its been more than 3 months and no action taken on my petition. We tried to convert into premium processing, but the field office rejected it saying they dont accept premium processing in their jurisdiction. So nothing else to do but to wait wait wait. Total time passed since my initial petition in OCtober ( 9 months).
My license has expired in March and the DMV do not renew my license with out a new I-94. Really its been a hell with out DL and still depending on others for necessary needs.
I am tired of telling the story to every one. Why not one more time here. I want to find out what other steps I can take to expedite the H1 Petition. Is there any way around to get the license renewed. Please share your experiences and suggestions.
My wife applied for H1B(new) in APRIL and her petition got an RFE asking to show proof that whether she will be in legal status until october 2007 as her I-94 expired in December(as her H4 petition is also pending due to RFE on my H1B). Attached the receipts and everything when she applied. From the documents attached cant they figure out that H4 petition is pending and she is in legal status. Kinda pissed me off.
I took an info pass appointment and went to the Newark Office today to see if they can help with my case. The IO said, they dont deal with H1B cases and cant help me in anyway. Though she took time to see where it is. She told me that I have to wait wait wait. This is really pissing me off, without a driving license for the last 4 months, passport expiring soon, Wife's H1 petetion Query ( as her H4 renewal is in hold due to my H1B RFE). Guys please post some ideas on how to deal with this situation. I even opened a service request about my case. But no progress. what should be my next course of action to move the case.
Any valuable suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
What jurisdiction mumbo jumbo are they giving your pp is still valid in all states in the US for H1-B.

Hi Kunal,
I am in the same boat. In my online status it showed exactly same msg. Then after couple of days it started showing the following msg:
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: This case has been sent to our local office for processing.
On May 19, 2008, we transferred this case to our DES MOINES, IA location for additional processing. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. This case has been sent to our DES MOINES, IA location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.
Please note: All this status changes and Soft LUD's are only for primary applicant and not for spouse's application. we have no connection with DES MOINES, IA, never stayed there , never worked there nor our company is from there. Don't know why it got transfered to local office there.
I am hoping that this all means that my case is assigned to officer.
Guru's any idea what all this means?
Just saw a soft LUD today. No status change from yesterday though.
fundo14 - how long has it been since it was transfered to the Des Moines office? Have you called and spoken to an IO about this change?

I saw a similar thread in one of the anti-immigration forums.
It was about members of immigration voice using filthy language in public forums. Don�t remember the exact words but it read something like �is this kind of third world behavior we get by bringing in so-called HIGHLY SKILLED immigrants to USA?�
Are you referring to OP ( ganguteli )
"I saw this on an anti immigrant site by a M*****r. "
This is his first line of the post.
