We are chasing behind so many stuffs at this important time. We should forget about the merits or demerits of point system. It can be good or bad. We should forget about how Z visa holders get more benefit than us. It is something not in our control and big politics behind everything in the bill. Therefore, we should not concentrate on this as it is not our objective. We should focus only to eliminate retro in EB ASAP. We should try to bring a simple amendment to the bill, so that retrogression in current EB ends ASAP.
A simple thing to do is do not change drastically current form of bill. Don�t waste time on analyzing or chasing behind merits and demerits in H,Y,Z visas or all other positive or negative stuffs in this bill.
We should have only one focus. Eliminate EB retro first. For that a simple amendment will be, 242K visa is open to both old EB and newly created merit system. That�s all. This amendment will eliminate the retro immediately. All other discussions and efforts are waste of time and energy

Thanks for the link. It is really very helpful.
That is another risk of AC21. Remember that AC21 is just a rule and can be changed anytime. For example, the current AC21 rule is not requiring proof of ability to pay of the new employer. What if in the future they change the rules of the game and you are in the middle of it, you found out that your new employer is not cooperating regarding sending documents, etc.
Darn, am I stupid or what? I felt am I just chicken or am I just being wise?
Probable change in AC21 rules are these additional requirements:
1. New employer's ability to pay
2. New LC for the same occupation
The more we talk of using AC21 even before 180 days, the more USCIS will suspect of fraud.

From the numbersusa site it seems that the Senate is currently debating the DoD appropriations bill and Sen. Cornyn of TX has introduced ammendment SA 2143 to enable recapture of unused EB visas from the years 1996-1997.
Does anyone have any more details on this? Do we need to have a coordinated effort in support of this?

Can you share you're thoughts for my post?
I recommend talking to a lawyer. Remember, that you (and your partner) are certifying and signing all forms. So, if you are legally married, it would be perjury to leave the "spouse" field as blank.
Thanks,

It's against the law not to provide CIS your new address within 10 days (?) of your move. FYI, it is mandatory even after you get GC...

I am not sure of your exact question as it is a bit ambiguous but here is what I read/understand
You can port an earlier priority date of an old I-140 even if the job description changes or your category has changed (EB-2 or EB-3). But this is only possible when you are applying for your I-485 (your old PD is current) by attaching a copy of your earlier approved I-140.
Also the underlying labor application/I-140 should be valid and not be substituted/revoked or cancelled. Again, check with an attorney but this is my understanding
Can�t we port our PD if our employer cancels our I-140 and reuse our approved labor.., I remember reading Once I-140 is approved PD is in candidates back pack.
Gurus please confirm this �, I hope lot of people might be waiting to hear this �

Hi,
I need some info. about whether it is good idea to do Canadian PR Landing and H1B extension stamping in one visit to Canada?
Here is the situation:
------------------
1. I got Canadian PR approval. I have submitted passport for stamping. After They mail it back to me, I need to travel to Canada(want to go to Vancouver) and at the border apply for PR Landing forms.
2. I have H1B extension approval but need stamping as I need to travel to INdia later this year on vacation. So when I go to canada, can I go to US Consulate apply for stamping and come back to US with same stamping???
I dont have AP so I cannot come back to US without the stamping. So what is the best solution in this case.?
I need to land in Canada before May 2008.
Your help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

My lawyer filed my Labor certification stating that the job requires 'BS degree in CS'. My labor got approved last month.
I hold a MS degree in CS and BS degree in Industrial Engg.
Now while I am about to file for I-140, I am getting information from various sources that my bachelor's degree has to be in CS, irrespective of holding a master's degree in CS.
Has anyone faced similar situation? How can I resolve this issue?
Please help as I almost spent 4 years in LC backlog queue!!!!!!!!

may i make a sincere suggestion. Please, go back to school, take a course in english grammar, writing mechanisms and reading comprehension. People can better respond to you, when they understand whatever is it you are asking. You may also be able to file as a qualified eb2 applicant. No pun intended.

H-1 option exists no doubt. But the number of places one can apply and the concomitant increase in the chances of getting a residency increases with the option of EAD!
What with the UK docs coming to the US...I know for a fact that competition has increased

I wonder when illegal can demonstrate, why can't we unite and organize some demonstartions to explain our frustrations and demands.
A lot of discussion happened on this topic in the past and the general consensus was that it will boomerang on us. We should not be demonstrating/protesting/demanding.
Welcome to the world of white collar politics.:)

I have personally seen few indian-nationals with US-GCs telecommuting on short-term (arround 30 days) while on vacation in india paid only in usa payroll and paying only USA taxes. The same may be applicable for AOS/AP/EAD.
I think.
short term (arround 30 days) - may be ok.
vacation or telecommuting for longer duration (not sure about max # of days) is considered as abandoning AOS.
I fully agree with mcq except for duration part.
Here's how I see it.
If you are employed by a US company and are on the US payroll of that company, and they are paying your salary into your US bank account, then I would say, that even though you may be working remotely in an Indian office of that US company - then yes, you need the EAD.
Why - you might ask. Very simply, if you are on the US payroll you need to have an I-9 on file with the company. You can only file an I-9 if you have the legal right to work in the US for that company (EAD / GC / Citizen / H1B etc).
so what it all boils down to is, no matter where you are working in the world for the company, if you are on the US payroll, you need an I-9, to file the I-9 you need a legal right to work, and that for you means the EAD.
one other thing. I believe that you also need to be in the US to file for and receive the AP & EAD.
Hope that helps

My first advice would be to bump up the ISO for indoor shots, so the shutter speed will be faster and you will be able to avoid blurred movement. In full auto mode, cameras may not increase the ISO above some unreasonably low number, like 400. Try going to a mode that lets you pick the ISO (program?) and set it to 1600 (with a DSLR the noise will be much less than 1600 ISO film grain, so don't be afraid to experiment).
Not knowing about the automatic metering systems on modern cameras, I'm not able to analyze what might be throwing off the meter to cause it to underexpose, so I'll leave that up to our resident DSLR gurus. ;)

Sorry to hear that it doesn't work for you. I didn't get any rec #. Excatly the 90th day of my 485 filing, I called USCIS. I wouldn't have called if I had my Rec #. Like said before, one lady picked up and was very cordial and created a Service Req for me. I guess it also could be based on the person with whom you talk. I said " It has been 90 days since I filed my 485 at NSC, I didn't get the Rec # and the checks are not cleared yet also" She asked for the excat date. I told "July 18". She said, "Sorry about the incovenience". She asked for my zip code. Then she said " This is the first time I am using the Service Request System", so bear with me. She asked for my name and date of birth and address and phone. She said "An agent will be assigned to your case within two days to look for your application. The agent will contact you thro phone or you will get a mail". I asked her what can I do if my checks are not cleared. She said "Wait for a week, and then call us". My checks got cleared in two days , but the Rec # are not available on line.

Hi People,
I getting even more confused:mad:
My status - AOS, H1B expired, staying on EAD.
Ap is valid until the middle of November 2008.
I have to travel abroad end re-enter more than 2 times from now to the AP expiry date
..
USCIS sent me 2 exact copies of AP - is that mean that only one stamp per each re-entry implying that I may travel out of country only twice until AP exparation end re-enter twice only???
Or there allowed more than one stamp on AP paper - using one AP per multiple entries??
Sorry, I am confused :confused:
