UPDATE: My company attorney suggested talking about this in April, and I am nervous about waiting till then in limbo - things are only going bad to worse, I might as well find a job at a place which will sponsor a PERM sooner rather than later.
I request you to PM me if you have any leads for such companies might still be a good bet for filing a PERM.
uhh..damn immigration process..
Maybe your company attorney is busy until April filing for H1B lottery and is busy. That maybe more profit for him. Maybe you should consider getting an attorney yourself to do the greencard process. Someone who can get started ASAP and look after your interests.

I was wondering if this is a face saving deal as the CIR is back and USCIS did not want to look bad.
Exactly....I don't say this a trick by USCIS to divert our attention but that will definitely be the result. Everyone here (except with the older priority dates) will face retrogression very soon. Please try to understand this folks.

You can file as many I-140's in any category (EB2/EB3/NIW) as long as you have a certified labor for a bona fide position with a matching education and company has ability to pay for those positions. These I-140's can come from one company or different ones it doesn't matter.
In your current situation:
1. Don't even think about doing anything with pending I-140 and AOS. There is a definite delay in I-140 approvals at both NSC/TSC so waiting is the best thing to do. As long as your qualification matches the LC description you will get your I-140 approved. If your I-140 is pending 30 days past the processing time and you haven't received an RFE, it might have been stuck in security check. Your lawyer needs to open a service request to find out what is going on.
2. For the labor that is expiring in Jan, go ahead and file an I-140 petition right now, there is nothing to worry about two I-140. If nothing else this petition can be used for 3 year H1B extension in case the first one gets stuck.
3. The second I-140 that you are filing can't be used for your pending AOS if your priority date is not current. Check the Pearson Interfiling memo ( from link below). If your priority dates are current and will remain current (EB2 ROW) file for an new AOS application when your second I-140 gets approved. If by this time your first I-140 is approved you can simply toss the second I-140 in the office shredder.

Thanks CanadianDream. Your words are encouraging. I will check with the lawyer. The reason we want to file another I-140 is just to safeguard the H-1B status. I am in my 5th year.
BTW, I have another question. Do they do security check for I-140 also? I never know this. I thought FBI check is only for I-485. My I-140 has been pending for 1.5 years so far. NO RFEs. Nothing. Every time my lawyer calls USCIS, they say it requires additional review and since no REFs are give, adjudication should be forthcoming.
Are there anything we can do to get the status on the security check? How long usually does it take?

You should call USCIS to let them know that your notice is still not reached to you, so incase if it's stuck on the way, they could send another copy.

also, i think u may need to maintain some sort of residence and retain proof of it (rent lease, utility bills, etc.) to show ur intention to stay here. even though technically GC is for a future job, an absence (even if its not continuous) of 5 yrs will eventually raise red flag(s)
or better yet... u can avoid all this adjucation crap and convert to consular processing (from ur home country) -- find out from a good lawyer to see if conversion is possible. if u r going to be out of US for 5 yrs, why would want to continuously renew EADs and APs anyway?

From your post it looks like you have recently appiled for renewal of EAD.
Do you know what should we write (for #15 Immigration status ) if the spouse has used EAD??
Thanks.
You should write " AOS (Adjustment of Status) Pending". Also, don't forget to add (in #9) SS#.

ok so when would EB2 come back to its old status of Jan 2003(it was so for past 1.5 yrs atleast b4 jumping to june 2004 and again retogating)...would it be in this current fiscal yr..i.e b4 sept 2008 or it will take whole of nxt fiscal yr to come to that kind of dates?
I believe once it gets past Jan 2003 PD's, dates will move steadily.

Good points: Here is what I think:
- future VBs
- visa availability in the coming months
FOR THIS I HAVE DISCUSSED DETAILED PREDICTION IN FOLLOWING THREAD:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20863
- awareness about visa wastage
DEFINITELY A MAJOR ACHIEVEMENT. ALL THE HAPPENINGS OF THIS YEAR (USCIS AND DOL DEPOSITIONS FOR IMMIGRATION BILLS ETC..) THERE IS CLEARLY MUCH MORE AWARENESS ABOUT VISA WASTAGE AND IT APPEARS THAT THEY ARE TRYING REAL HARD TO AVOID IT...:)
- dates becoming current for most EB categories
- light at the end of tunnel for most of us
I GUESS BOTH THESE THINGS ARE THE SAME. I THINK EB2 AND EB3 ROW WILL BE CURRENT BY THE END OF THE FISCAL YEAR AND EB3 INDIA AND CHINA WILL MOVE FORWARD SIGNIFICANTLY TO USE UP THE OVERFLOW (AS THERE ARE NO 485S FILED AFTER JULY 2007). HOPEFULLY MOST EB2 WILL GET THEIR GCS IN NEXT TWO YEARS. ADDITIONAL ONE YEAR FOR EB3 INDIA AND CHINA (ONLY A GUESS)
- USCIS efficiencies
NO COMMENT ON THIS: THEY PROVED IT AGAIN....THEY CAN NEVER BE EFFICIENT...EITHER THEY DONT HAVE RESOURCES OR THEY DONT HAVE MECHANISM TO USE THEM (LIKELY LATER SCENARIO)..AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN WITHOUT MAJOR RESTRUCTURING OF THE SYSTEM. EVEN AFTER EVERYTHING BECOMES CURRENT, THERE WILL BE PEOPLE WITH PD IN 2001 AND 2002 STILL WAITING.

Hi fundo14,
I saw you post regarding the case being transffered to Des Moines Iowa. My case has the exact same update as of March 19 2008. Its been like that since then. Yesterday, I spoke with an IO from NSC and she told me that my case is picked up for Extended processing. I am not sure what it means!!! I have applied for my EAD and AP renewals and asked her about the status of those in light of the pending additional processing of my I485. She told me that my EAD and AP renewals also would be held up until the additional processing is completed. On pushing again, she told me that in case my EAD is due for more than 90 days, i would have to walkin to a local center and get an interim EAD. I am inferring that it may be a pending interview call. My attroney also said the same thing. I dont have any criminal background, didnot do anything illegal in terms of immigration like being out of status or on bench.. So my best guess would be that its a pending interview. I had taken a infopass appnt last month and the officer in my local office also told me that my ead and ap renewal would not be approved until additional inquiry is completed. I am quite concerned and confused from last month as to what is wrong with my application to warrant a refusal of my EAD.
Lately, I have been observing several people have their cases transferred to Des Moines Iowa and interestingly around the 19th of the month. I am guessing USCIS moves cases around the 19th to the local offices
People plz share ur thoughts..

I never said school can force her to maintain F1. All I said was if she wants to be on F1 (for whatever reasons) she needs to comply with school's policies. Also her maintaining or not maintaining F1 is immaterial to her legal immigration status in the country (which is safe by the virtue of pending I-485) it is just that she will cease to be on F1 status (her current non-immigrant status, just obtaining EAD doesn't mean she has abandoned F1 status, she needs to use it)
Also, she will no longer be on any non-immigrant status when school cancels her F1, from that point on her status will solely be based on I-485 and its outcome.
School can't force her to continue on F1 visa. Only thing she need to send school is her copy of pending I-485 receipt and thats it.

Are PhDs in Medicine excluded in this list?
Dear gcnotfiledyet,
Thanks for your comment.I am afraid you mis understood what I said medicine and pharnact vet med etc. There are practitioners in these fields called MD, DVM, PHARM D etc. However there are many more PhD students who do research in these fields. And they are not listed as STEM graduates. I guess whoever did this listing of the STEM majors don't really have much knowledge about various fields of research and also they ignored the highly multidisciplanary nature of the current day research. I hope more people will start taking this issue seriously.

I would say a very transparent administration and solid institutions along with excellent educational systems is a key reason for these small countries being so competitive. Much of Asia and Africa is bogged down due to unstable political condition, rampant corruption, weak institutions and regulated economies, not to say low literacy and paucity of skilled workers.
In finland, denmark, iceland and other small northern european/scandinavian countries, English is the main language used, making it much easier for new immigrants.these small countries have to use english to stay competitive and communicate, because most of the world including europe do not speak finnish or swedish.
Just a thought for those wishing to get the hell outta here

Hi Friends,
I am a permanent employee for "x" company, my 140 filed on May 1,2007 waiting for approval, 485 filed on August 22,2007 not been approved either, we just got our EAD's, also please note that i am on 6th year extension on h1... my company "x" moving all projects to the different company "y" from December 1, 2007. ie we are all moving to "y" with the same job title just everything is same istead of "x" it is now "y" company.
When i called my legal department and ask them about green card status they simply said nothing to worry... everything will be moved to "y" company, as a transition exployees..
Be honest with you guys...from the last 4 days... i could not sleep... i really dont know what to do in this situation, this is the reason.. i am seeking your help. can some one guide me or answer below questions please.
1. 140 filed 05/01/2007 - 11/30/2007 more than 180 days with "X" company
2. 485 filed 08/22/2007 - 11/30/2007 more than 90 days with "x" company
3. EAD approved
4. Travel documents approved
5. I am on H1 6th year extension.
6. Transition employee.
my question is
1 Can my green card status remains the same and continue the process with the new "y" company ?
2.Do "y" company has to start processing labour/140 again ??
3.Is it doable that moving everything from "x" to "y" including GC processings ??
Thanks in advance...Kindly help me out in this situation like how to proceed from here
With sincere regards...

Can undrstand your anxiety and hope things will workout for you.
But your details are sketchy...what do you mean by all the projects from your current company are being moved to another company: is the new company Y is buying your current company X. Then you might be OK. I remember reading somewhere that - in case of a merger your application for I140/I485 will not be disturbed if the new company takes over all the assets/debts of the old company. Search in these forums on company merger (more on other popular forums) and you will get more info. Understand the agreement between the two companies (your current X and new Y) - if its a straight forward acquisition (taking over assets and also debts and all previous agreed upon contacts) then you will be fine - I know because I have been thru an acquision during a pending I140.
