There are lots of threads on the same topic.
Its very confusing to follow.
We should combine every thing to a single thread
Lest be organised... Just because you can make a new thread just dont make it. Search before you make a new thread.
Be organized:) be prepared

Seshu,
Which center did you file, is it NSC? If so, on what date.
I applied on 23 July at NSC and havent received anything so far.
Thanks,
-rk.
I got my checks cashed today and got ALL receipt numbers.
485 sent to NSC whereas AP and EAD stay in CSC. All have receipt numbers starting with WAC.
I saw from the previous post that EADs are being ordered within 6 days. is that true?
Application Type: I765, APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION
Current Status: Case received and pending.
On September 17, 2007, we received this I765 APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case.

My experience was just great. My company had inhouse immigration deptt and their own attorney as employees.. She was just great and very transparent on every process. She sent all the documents and updated my at every step on where I stand.
I really respect that lady, who was doing way beyond her job profile to keep us updated and well informed. never paid anything for the attorney service or GC filing except a one time fee of $500 when the company hired some attorneys on contract to get over the overwhelming request during July fiasco. The attorney also adviced me and guided me on how to leave the company and what is AC-21 and how to do that. So gave me a lot of pointers on how to choose a new attorney. Though I had a lot of conflict of interest with my company policy and management, one thing I always appreciated about it was that their healthcare and immigration was far better than any company in US. Now I heard its not great and employees have issues related to this. I paid on $15 for the delivery of the baby and that was the total amount I paid in 9 months .. thats it.
The crux of the story is , when choosing a company , initially these things really dun matter but in the long run these are things that really matters, I would suggest everyone who is switching the companies, make sure the company has the right healthcare plan and immigration services. Do not hesitate to discuss this with the HR. I always do and make it clear, whenever I am questioned by HR , I just tell them , "The company has selected me but I haven't selected the company yet." The HR also has the pressure to close the position they will provide you with all the different options. Do not always run for the $$$ a few 1000 $$$ doesn't make the difference as at the end of the day those also shrink with tax and deductions, but the perks like these stay and pay more than $$$

There were only about 3 or 4 that had more than 1 vote. Having a poll of 4 entries seemed odd, so the only fair thing would have been to give every entry you all voted for a spot in the poll.
No overriding was done :P

There is no second opinion that USCIS is wrong on morale ground for July VB issue. But I am not sure technically, they are right or wrong. They interpreted the law in their convenience. Here is what I see
What ever visa left for year 2007, they requested to use for July 2007. They kept ready all pre-adjudicated applications and assigned visa numbers on July 1 (Sunday). No one can stop them to send green card approval notice for visa assigned cases later. In a rush, they assigned visa number to few cases whose security check is still pending (technically this is wrong). They realize their mistake and now checking all the cases which are assigned visa numbers on July 1 whether security check is cleared or not. They are now approving the cases (with a slow speed) whose security check is cleared and assigned visa number on July 1. They are returning visa number which are assigned to cases whose security check is not clear.
This is my understanding.
Just trying to sum up the situation from USCIS perspective...
1) DOS releases July visa bulletin making all EB categories current (except for other workers)...hoping to force the USCIS to adjudicate cases and avoid wasting visa numbers as in previous years
2) This infuriates USCIS, and for whatever reasons (this has been debated enough already), they decide to use up all the FY2007 visa numbers in June itself and then force the DOS to revise the July bulletin in June itself...so no one can file in July.
3) Unfortunately, they run into issues going through with their plan of using up all visa numbers in June
4) July 1st and morning of July 2nd...they still are working frantically to use up the numbers to avoid new July filers. But by now, it is July already and they have failed in their original mission (see 2 above). Now they start panicking and do some dumb stuff (in violation of their own regulations). They approve I-485's of some folks who were ready for approval (processing complete and FBI check cleared), but whose dates were not current. They also pre-requested some numbers for folks whose dates were current, but processing was not complete i.e. FBI check was not cleared.
5) Late morning July 2nd: By requesting all available numbers from DOS and exhausting FY2007 quota, they forced DOS to revise the July bulletin, which was unprecedented.
6) July 5th and later: It is now post July-2nd, and USCIS still has cases for which they pre-requested numbers. Now the problem is that even if the FBI check comes through for those cases, they cannot approve them because technically, all numbers have been used up for FY 2007. So they start returning numbers to DOS. They also decide NOT the send the applications of people who filed on July 2nd or later back while they decide on the next course of action...
I think this will have major implications for both USCIS and DOS. The key for USCIS was to exhaust visa numbers on or before June 29th to achieve their obejective without repercussions...and force DOS to revise the bulletin in June itself...and they failed miserably at it.
And now they will have to pay. I know some people are thinking please let USCIS just sweep it under the carpet and just allow us to file our cases...no harm done. But I diasgree...what they have done is shameful. And they should be made to pay for playing with our lives. They should never be able to even think of doing something like this again. And their operations should have direct congress/DOS oversight so they cannot get away with snail-paced processing wasting visas ever again...

If my EB3 140 is pending and if when I apply for EB2 140, I dont have the approval, can the interfile be done at the later date?
I am seriously considering porting my date. Any idea how much approx it would cost for the PERM + 140 process (lawyer and USCIS fee)?
Also, if both EB3 and EB2 are with the same company, is it required that the EB3 position is different from the EB2 position? Do I have to get promoted?

Friends,
Any advice on above post.
Thanks.
This is how it should be done...
- request USCIS to port your PD from already approved I-140 from past employer
USCIS may or may not do it for you
- if not apply for I-485 using Category of 2nd (should be EB2) and PD from 1st one. You need to attach both of these with I-485 application and of course a covering letter stating what you are doing.
Here is the extract from the law -
QUOTE
(3) Priority Date Based on Earlier Petition.
If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example:
Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification.

Really great job on the singing Pankaj!!! It was really impressive!
Even though it was not really the anthem for anyone there, it was a nice gesture to sing the national anthem of the people we are asking to help us. Plus, it is the only anthem that we all have in common...
Also, you have chosen to move to this country, please have the courtesy to adapt to American values. Singing the national anthem is always right.

You should read that RonGothers thread - he is strongly of the opinion that maintaining H1B status while AOS is pending is useless
Its not useless if you are in a ROW country/category that is always/usually current since your I-485 can be approved in a short period of time, without having to extend H-1. So you can save yourself the hassle of switching back and forth between H-1 and EAD.
It only becomes pointless when you are in a backlogged country like most of us are. By the time a decision is made on the I-485 you wouldve already extended your H-1 beyond 6 years, thus making it dependant on that EB petition.

Immigration In Conference
There are the three possible scenarios now that S.2611
has been handed to the House:
(1) the House does not name the conferees, hence no conference report and immigration reform dies this Fiscal year;
(2) the House names conferees and goes into a contentious conference, resulting in no conference report and immigration reform dies this Fiscal year;
(3) the House produces a conference report, immigration reform legislation is passed.
If immigration reform fails in conference, a statute could still ensue. There is still opportunity for a Republican vision of immigration reform, i.e. emphasis on enforcement, to be enacted, if House Republicans choose to attach such legislation with the appropriations bill during budget reconciliation. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the link. I looked at it before I posted my case but I don't think it was a mistake by the customs officer. He specifically told me that he cannot stamp the date of the future I-797's expiry date (Jun 2010) and asked me to contact my local office just before the current visa expires. My current one expires June 04 2007. The future 797 is valid from June 05 2007 till June 04 2010. But my visa stamping in the passport is till June 04 2010.

This is my new employer asking me sign this document called "time sheet agreement"...would it stand in the court of law, say I left the job and could they come after me with this paper?
here is the 80% of whats in there with company called (name changed) Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company :D
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If the employee wishes to terminate his/her services with Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company, he/she agrees to assist Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company in fulfilling the contract terms that Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company signed with client like notice period etc. The client peanilizes Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company if he/she leaves the project abruptly without sufficient notice. Employee is responsible for all monetary penalties the client will enforce on Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company because of his/her action.
Employee agrees not to transfer billing to another firm and / or accept payments from another firm or the primary vendor or mid vendor for the project you are currently working will be working in future. Employee agrees not to solicit directly or indirectly Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company�s client and vendors.
Employee is responsible for the accuracy of the time sheet submitted for payroll. If Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company pays you and we did not get the money from the client, he/she are responsible to reimburse Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company all the amount that is under dispute within 5 business days. Employee is responsible for all the legal and administrative costs (attorney, collections etc) for enforcing the above terms. All disputes will be settled according to the laws of the sate of NJ.
Employee agrees to reimburse Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company any and all over payments made to you within 5 business days. If you fail to do so, then the employee agrees to pay the legal costs involved in enforcing the same.
The above costs are difficult to calculate and will be based on our approximations.

Is this how every company asks their employee to sign?? This is my first experience on this...never signed anything like this before.... :rolleyes:
Please let me know,
Thanks,

99% agreements written by the desi consultants are not legal ( they are one sided) . if you dont sign it , you dont get the job.

Interesting...looks like this bill is moving faster than we'd think...it would be interesting to see where it ends up. Also, it appears that this bill does not talk about giving the DV visas to existing EB-X categories but instead to create a new EB category for STEM graduates...not sure, but that's what it sounds like.

Hi Guys,
My LCA has Computer Software Engineer as job title.I have 5 years of Experience as Oracle functional consultant.Currently I'm working as Oracle consultant.My 140 is approved and got my EAD card.In jan 2008 it will be 180 days of filing 485.I want to change my career towards IT Sales.
I have an offer from an American Staffing company as a Technical Recruiter.The job responsibilities include hiring Software Engineers.But the job title is different from my LCA.I want to join this company using EAD in jan 2008 and apply AC 21.Today I have checked with my Lawyer this is what she says"
In instances such as this, when we send the letter to the USCIS regarding AC21, we include the following details with reference to the job title. � Although the job title differs, the job duties are substantially the same. The title used by the company is their internal designation for this position."
She says that i will be able to work as Technical Recruiter using EAD.Any one can suggest me on this?I have very little knowledge about AC 21 and how it works
Thanks in advance
