Do you mean, file I-140 first and wait till it's approved before you file for 485? If that's what you are thinking, my advise is that filing for 485 is not a luxury that you can avail yourself whenever it suits you. You must grab the chance as soon as your PD is current becaue you never know when it would be current again unless of course you fall in to EB2 ROW or a higher category. And please note that these days I-140 takes much longer than 6 months to get approved and Premium Processing is no longer in the offer.
Hi All,
Are there any risks of filing 140 & 485 together? I just talked to an attorney & she said that it is better to get 140 approved 1st before filing 485, as when you file concurrent, the files go to inexperienced officers who will not judge your case properly.
When you file 140 separately, the file goes to officers who only deal with 140's.
Does anybody on here know of these risks/disadvantages of filing concurrently. I was under the impression that it was better to do this, but now I stand contradicted!

"NO right turn on Red" can be thought of as an image. Whenever we read anything, we do not actually read the spelling of the word, but we look at the image the words form. That is the reason we sometimes have difficult when the letters are not legible as the image does not map to anything in our permanent memory. humans or any animals recognize through visual stimulii, not reading. Think more on this, it is interesting to the solutions that come out of it.

This is weird. I thought a lot of people have got EAD but did not get AP. Of course some people have got both. Can anyone shed some light on how they approve AP? In what order? I believe quite some people have travel plan during the coming months.

I did a concurrent submission of I140 and I485 on July 2nd. As and when the 140 PP comes back, can I get PP done even though I have already sent my application?

I am in similar situation. I have received EAD and AP but planning to move on, using H1-B transfer.
If I use H1-B transfer, have I to ask my new employer to do PERM again and then I-140??
Or
Is it just enough to send a AC-21 letter to USCIS that I chnaged to a new job which is similar to the one for which I got PERM & I-140 approval.
Please advise.

There are some apprehensions on immigration portal about legality of lobbying and having an advocacy group to talk on our behalf and work on our behalf. I have posted a reply there and I am posting that same thing here to clear your fears of "backlash" and "Legal issues".
-----------------------------------
Hi,
There is nothing wrong with Lobbying. It is completely legal to seek professional advocacy for a public cause in order to shape public policy.
It is regulated and legal. Money given to lobbyist are a matter of public record. Hundreds of corporations do this all the time and some of them have their own people do it and some of them hire outside firms who specialize in such activities.
Lobbying has become a dirty word in the past 4 years and more so because of Abramoff scandal. But it is not going to end and it will continue happening since ITS LEGAL AND REGULATED AND MONITORED.
See more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobbying to do research in history and dynamics of lobbying.
Think about lobbying as hiring a lawyer. You can pay a lawyer as much as you want. Its legal. You cannot pay the judge. That is bribery and that is illegal. Similary we are paying orgs to be our advocates or communicator to lawmakers. No-one here is paying any lawmakers. Not a penny.
Regarding the reactions BECAUSE we hire professional advocates(using advocacy instead of lobbying since its dirty now due to scandals...its the same thing) ....here is the deal. There are 2 choices:
Choice 1.
You can be afraid of raising your voice and afraid of anything and everything including the "RADAR" of god-knows-which branch of government(even though its legal), you can be afraid of your own employer(even though its not against company policy in 99% companies to contribute money to orgs that advocate, I have asked my company and they said its ok as long as its not my own profession to lobby and as long as I am not profiting from it personally...which I am not...its contrary...I and other voluteers have contributed personally), you can be afraid of anti-immigration forces that are not going to do anything but...you can be afraid of them. You can live in a country as free as US and be afraid of things that dont even exist.
Choice 2.
You can use your backbone and stand up to raise your voice for something you want and something you believe in. Every once in a while you HAVE TO STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU WANT AND SPEAK UP. Justice is not automatic.
For the sake of argument, let us say that you are on some-one's radar. Who do you thing that is? What are they going to do? If its government branch or agency, they wont do anything because nothing here is illegal. If its a private anti-immigration org then they will know that there are forces just like them in the opposite direction on this issue for immigration. So WHAT? WE know about them and they know about us. They do their job. We do our job. At the end of the day if we make an effect of even 5% on this issue, it could be decisive. And by the way, there are many other orgs that publicly advocate immigration(including illegal immigration) and they have their websites and phone numbers and addresses. They are not afraid of "RADARS" and "ANTI-IMMIGRATION FORCES". WHY SHOULD WE BE AFRAID OF ANYONE.
Lastly, if you cannot give up your fears and speak up or stand up...atleast dont scare others. I would really appreciate.
Thanks,
Logiclife.

I am writing the second of a multi-part series of posts on how to bring family relatives to the United States permanently. The first post I wrote provided general information on bringing family relatives to the United States. (See my post, "Can I petition for my relative to immigrate to the United States?" (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/2009/05/can_i_petition_for_my_relative.html)) This post will focus on how to petition for your brother or sister to come to the United States permanently.
In order to petition for your brother or sister you must file Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=c67c7f9ded54d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD) with United States and Citizenship Services ("USCIS") along with proof that you are a United States Citizen and that you are related to your brother or sister. I will discuss the steps you must take in more detail below.
Obtain Form I-130 (http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=c67c7f9ded54d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD)

At the same time that you obtain the form, you should also print out the instructions to the form. They are more detailed than the instructions I will provide in this post and provide the mailing address to where you will need to send the form.
Proof of U.S. Citizenship
You may prove that you are a U.S. citizen by sending one of the following documents to USCIS with your petition:
A copy of your birth certificate (if you were born in the United States) issued by a civil registrar, vital statistics office, or other civil authority.

Hi,
I have approved H1 through consulate processing for the year 2009 and I am currently working on L1 visa which is going to expire on nov 2009.
My company is not going to extend my visa.Is there any speedy process where I can do COS with my approved H1 and how much will it cost to me?
Another thing I want to ask that Is it advisable for going back India for stamping as I heard that US consulate people are rejecting H1 B visa
Please advise
Thanks...
when you got H1 did you receive new I-94? If yes, then you should have been working with the employer who did your H1 and not L1 employer. If not you should be able to COS to H1 without issues.

Yes this looks bad, and what we're trying to do with MI will be stomped on to a large extent by this.
The key problem is that it assumes that DHS SAVE system is up to date, and we know how far USCIS gets with data entry.
Also licenses to be marked as temporary.

RFE and NOID come with a color sheet of paper with your details and some USCIS internal codes for your case. You can respond by yourself and put the sheet on top - this is for the mailroom to handle your case
If we do not use G28 to change representation from current lawyer hired by company, would all the notifications go just to the lawyer?
Can we submit G28 ourselves or does it needs to be a lawyer?

My thoughts exactly! Here is a thread I opened on the subject a couple of weeks ago:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=600
The idea makes such good economic sense (the government would be price discriminating to increase its revenue) that if USCIS were a private entity they would have implemented something like this a long time ago. But unfortunately it is not and we have to suffer under a "one size fits all" system.

Great job folks. Not only Ac21 issue, but if there is any other issue, please lodge a complaint with the Ombudsman's office.
I would also suggest that those who have had their I-485 denied due to changing employers should submit DHS Form 7001 to the Ombudsman's office.

i am going to do almost exactly what you are thinking in a matter of few days. i spoke to two lawyers. essentially, ac21 allows this and there is nothing that you have to really do. Of course, i am assuming that you are moving into a job that has the similar job duties as specified in your labor application. what you need to do is make 100% sure that you have documentation to prove this job duties similarity. if you are going to get an SOW from your client, make sure that the SOW is similar to your labor. if you can, do get a letter from your client (where you will do your actual work) stating your job responsibilities, work content etc. you will also need to document/prove actual existence of your business by showing your tax transactions, invoices/receipts etc. also, make sure that you are spending 40 hours (or whatever is the equivalent of a full time job) doing your labor certified job... all this will be required only if USCIS sends you an RFE or calls you for an interview.
wish you luck
Don't you think if you're changing jobs and new job has to be fulltime with new employer? not contract?
Can we invoke AC21 on temp contracting job?
As you said if you go with contracing job where you will be running your payroll? Is it on your new owned company on your name? Or it has to be someone else name like spouse or friend?
Thanks,
Matt
