What if the I-140 is approved, I-485 pending less than 180 days and change of jobs to happen?
In this case, can the employer still revoke the I-140 though it has been approved already?
Yes.

I am in the same boat, My I-485 was approved on Aug 5th, so far no cards received.
Also, i received SR (which i opened on 8/3) response 2 weeks back "saying my I-485 was approved and my application is waiting for bio-metrics for whichi will receive an ASC appointment later" so far i have not received bio-metrics appointment either.
I guess, i should wait for 30 days and take an info pass or open a SR.
Thanks

It is perfectly legal. Before throwing out ignorant allegations like "skirting the law" and all that, do your homework first. I am sure I did mine thoroughly well!

more --> legally.

I have some good news and some bad news!
The bad news is that. You will get your green card in 5 years and after other five years you will get your citizenship. So in 10 years will be in position to get married.
Now , you will be wondering what is the good news.
Well!, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switiching to GEICO.
LOL, this is very funny. Had a good laugh this friday morning.

labor sub is not neccessarily always bad.
I have seen lot of folks who were stuck in a bad wait and only way could leave was to use labor sub.
Having said that, this case seems just bad situation..
Why couldn't he just check before he filed I140 if someone else has already used that labor?
It's easy to do...
Also why not just use I140 premium when it was allowed back then..
I am thinking someone got greedy and got conned while trying to con immigration system..
you play with fire .. sometimes fingers get burnt.. I feel pity for this guy but I got no love for him..
how do u check if a 485 isn't being filed based on I 140

I got an RFE on Nov 15th for copies of my degree certificates and my attorney sent them in a few after getting the RFE notice. I had an LUD on Nov 30th (Date when they received response to RFE) saying case processing has resumed. I also have another LUD on Dec 2nd. But the status still says case processing resumed. Does anyone know why there are 2 LUD's even though the case status is the same. Does it mean anything?
Relax, LUDS could be internal updates no one can tell you with absolute certainty what they mean. I saw this whole thread you are in panic mode and restless. Just relax man your case will be approved soon.Think of it this that they are working on your case not like others who have filed and heir cases are lying on the shelf.

This is just a humour but has a meaning underneath if you try to understand. I am comparing USCIS to a product selling company. If USCIS was a TV selling company what would happen to the customers the way it acts ?
You could buy a TV but you will not know when you will get it. It could be shipped the next week, the next month, next year or never.
The credit card will be charged once, may be charged twice or a valid CC may get rejected.
Somebody who buys a TV from USCSIS a 2 years after you do, he may get it sooner than you do.
USCIS has no way of knowing how many TVs have been ordered and how many of them are in stock.
In case you do not receive your TV in two years, USCIS acknowledges that there is a long wait time for some and does not do anything about it. USCIS thinks acknowledgment of wait time is more than enough that it has done for the customers. Customers did not deserve this but USCIS did a favour to them being a good "Customer Service" company
There would be an online survey after you buy it which would never get submitted 99% of the times.
In case it did get submitted, somebody will read one out of 10,000.
After reading it he will throw it in the trash can.
If you get a defective TV (which is quite likely), you have a chance to file appeal by paying the same amount of money for the TV again so that your case can be re-opened.
I wonder how many customers would USCIS have eventually ??? Any guesses ??? :-)
So....What's the point? The employees at USCIS are humans too. Give them a break will ya? They are doing the best they can to accomodate everyone in here.

porting can be beneficial but attempt it only if you are 100% sure that it will succeed and talk to your lawyer before you do it and don't attempt to do it yourself. it will be a lengthy process with increased scrutiny. 3-4 months for labor and atleast 1 year for 140 processing and moreover DOL is making it tougher for EB2 with strict adherence to the rules and increased scrutiny. after all this, there is a very high likelihood of getting RFE from USCIS at 485 stage. if any EB3 person has EAD, AP then it would be best to play it safe and stay with EB3 as you already have the benefits of EAD and AP. I know it would be much much better if you have a green card, but would you have it safe and sure or do you want to go through all the stress of refiling and preparing for all the problems in the process? it should be ones own personal choice. moreover I am hopeful that things will move favorably after the elections with the immigration reform and might result in some relief for all EB categories

In central NJ, I called over 9 Doctors and only two of them had an appointment before July 1st -2nd week.
One is Dr. Neil M.S. Estrella in Clark, NJ. Appointment was available for Monday June 18th. But the fees for the exam plus vaccines is $430. The second one is Dr. Marcel Stern in Piscataway, NJ 08854. Appoitnment was available for Thursday June 21st. The fees was more reasonable at $350.
If you're in Central NJ, Hurry, Hurry Hurry.
P.S - If some of you get other appoitnments in NJ, post here so that others will know and not waste time calling other doctors.

The following write-up appears here courtesy of ChanduV23, one of our members. This has been edited for content and messaging:
Thank you ChanduV23
- On behalf of the Core IV Team
I am a highly-skilled professional who entered this country legally. I�ve been waiting for my US permanent resident visa -also known as "Green Card" for the past several years along with 500,000 other educated, highly skilled employment based (EB) immigrants. Many of us have been waiting for our turn to get Green Cards for 5-10 years while consistently abiding by all the laws of this country. Such long delays are due to tortuous and confusing paper work, backlogs due to various quotas and processing delays at US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) and other allied state and federal agencies.
Several categories of EB immigrant visa (Green Card) numbers have been unavailable (�retrogressed�) since the fall of 2005. Because our immigrant petitions are tied to the sponsoring employer, these delays have led to indentured servitude for several of us. Our professional prospects, job mobility and potential opportunities for entrepreneurship have been compromised.
For the past several decades, the US Department of State (DOS) has been publishing advisories known as visa bulletins once a month to announce the availability of immigrant visa numbers. On June 13, 2007, after a gap of nearly two years, DOS announced that all EB visa numbers would be �current� for the month of July. This meant, irrespective of our �priority date� (date assigned to us for our turn in the line for Green Cards), all of us were made eligible to apply for some interim immigration benefits. This �priority date� refers to the date when our labor certification (documentation verifying no US citizen worker was available for a given job) had been filed.
Please note that 6/13 DOS announcement would not have led to immediate green card for most of us; but at least it would have ensured us interim benefits such as the right to travel and right to work- this was still a welcome change. Especially, for dependent spouses who have been otherwise unable to work, this would have translated into right to travel and work without restriction and thus channel their energies positively. Several dependent spouses are also highly-skilled. This would provide them an opportunity to realize their technical and entrepreneurial expression and add to tax dollars. Additionally, this would have greatly reduced the paperwork burden on our sponsoring US employers.
Tens of thousands of applicants spent thousands of dollars in legal fees, immigration medical exams & vaccinations & getting various supporting documents ready to file our immigrant petitions to USCIS, at times inconveniencing our old parents in our home countries as well. It has been an agonizing two weeks for us. Some of us to had to fly in our spouses from our home countries or have had to cut short business trips. To our shock and dismay, on the morning of July 2nd 2007, USCIS announced that EB visa numbers were not available and all petitions filed in July would be rejected.
For the legal skilled immigrants this has been a rather traumatizing and disheartening experience.
We sincerely seek immediate congressional/ legislative remedial measures which would
(1)Reduce the enormous backlogs of green card petitions of legal skilled immigrants
(2)Ensure and request USCIS not to reject our immigrant visa petitions filed in July and provide us interim benefits of a pending immigrant visa petition. We make this sincere request on this Independence Day with the hope that people who played by the rules will be rewarded.
I was wondering if we can use this template and your press release ( http://www.prlog.org/10022648-no-celebration-for-thousands-of-highly-skilled-future-americans-this-july-4th.pdf) to let our local news media know. Thanks

That article is a joke and more like propaganda. It says around 58K H1Bs are issued and most of them are extension - but are they not aware the extensions are not counted towards the cap...?
The moment I read this...I have stopped reading any further.
The job is first moved by the out sourcing firm and then offered for Americans...?-
-----------------------
This is interesting information. This is the first time ever that such news has come out of Indian press. You may belittle it by calling it a joke but to me it is critical because this issue may turn into a trade issue. Call for negotiating a comprehensive services agreement is not mundane. Together with rejection of billions of dollars worth Us defense deal, this is seriously moving towards becoming a significant issue. You may want to dot the is and cross the ts but that is not how the Law makers, Senators US or Indians think about these issues. They are at 30K feet level looking at the Forest while we waste time in just going around our own trees.
To me the intent is more important than the content in the early stages. We will get to details once there is broad agreement on the issue, that is basic negotiation 101.

Unemployment is everywhere, the worst is in california. It does not matter whether its IT or any job. Some of the employers layoff the most talented and hardworking person.
I was thinking is there anyway for those having canadian permanent would reside, search for any jobs till the recession is over and come back to US. In that case one can accumlate the time in canada.

. After 180 days you may leave, but you will have to find a new employer who is willing to hire you on permanent basis upon getting you GC for same/similar job as in the LC. What you do until your GC is approved (contract job with this employer or something else) is a different matter. Those employments can be on EAD, H1, temp/permanent, etc.
What if the job i'm moving to after 180 days is hiring me permanently now itself? Do they still have to specify (in EVL for AC21) that they will hire me perm only upon getting GC?

Thanks anyway for your reply.
I gave you a thumbs up for accepting that it was unnecessary starting this thread. What you did is something that is completely missing on this forum - a little bit of humility would be so nice out here.

Perfect....
Yes I called the original civil surgeon and the TB test is going to cost $15 only and Xray $40.
I found the reason I got the RFE.
I had a copy of the last TB test report.
That civil surgeon FORGOT TO CHECK MARK the TB test !!!!
He checked a different section !!!
I feel bad that I missed to read it!
I could have rectified the DARN doctor then and there.
It was during the July fiasco. We were all in a hurry and tensed up.
Thanks for your update.
Once this RFE is cleared, I am going to Sue that doctor for expenses!
I feel sad that people dont do their jobs properly in this ADVANCED country.

Yes. GC is always for future employment.
What I had (mis-) understood till date was: there were 2 ways for employment based GC: 1) if I was outside US all along, and the employer applied my employment based GC for future employment, and 2) if I was working in US for the employer and he applied for my EB2 GC based on the job that I was offered and was working on.
I understood that I was in the (2) category, and was wondering if my employer could switch my GC processing (Labor/I-140 approved) to the (1) type. Is this possible?
I might have got mixed up with the Consular Processing vs AoS, but from what I read, those terms would really come into picture only after the 485 stage, isn't it?

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.
Update : 8/12/2010
