I guess you can either come back or reschedule you FP appt...
Try your best not to miss the FP appointment. There is certainly a way to reschedule, but with so much backlog, your next date can be very far away. Missing a FP will also impact your processing time.

H1Employer -
Would my mind answering my question?
Thanks!
Can I ask you a question? How much your corp usually pays if you are billing at $80 per hour? 55k per year or 95k per year as Salary + Benefits. (BTW - Just to make things clear, I am not looking for job as I am independent IT consultant with my own corp).
I have seen many cases where consultant is billed at 80-90 per hours and gets paid only 50 to 60k (based on his/her "negotiation" power).
In one case, this agency had two consultants at same client (one of the large banks) and were getting billed at $80 per hour. The H1-B person was getting 56k/year and green card holder was making 95k per year. This is the reason why many people want to jump for another job when they have EAD or GC.
My 2 cents.

Buddy, what were you doing for 40 days after your got terminated? If you knew it was coming you should have made efforts to transfer H1 or right after. If you transfer H1, then obviously INS will look for pay stubs etc from the last sponsoring co. Since you mentioned you never actually worked for them (if I understand this right) then you are in trouble. You can use EAD but you lose your H1 status. If you want to get back to H1 then you are back in the lottery mess to qualify for one. Obviously you need to decide what is important to you at this point. Marriage or your job/GC. Good luck.

All I did was call the Customs and Border Patrol office, explained my situation, and they transferred me to the appropriate officer who handled such issues. They just seemed to know what needed to be done.
Don't know if this helps but - I did mention clearly when explaining the situation that "a mistake was made by the CPB officer on the I-94" during my last entry.
I am not a lawyer, so I will not comment on the status question.
Good luck.

I am in the same situation right now, called both SFO and SJC airports and they seem to indicate they do not know anything about it. DVB how did you handle it ? Also, will it affect my status being on expired I-94 ?

Can we see a list of all the positive outcomes of the various advocacy events, lobbying etc done by IV for the EB immigrant community please?
And, if any of those good outcomes are being implemented by USCIS to ease the EB backlogs?

You mean the other is radical right. They're mostly conservative republicans.
We have limited time and we have to achieve a lot. Our time and efforts should be utilized in a much better way, don't you agree? I appreciate your posting of your links. And what is your point? Include as a small comment or note at the top. It is easy for any one to 'google' conference, immigration and bill to come up with a few thousand good and relevant link. If I post a good number of them, one would definitely be lost.
Posting links should serve a purpose here. The primary purpose is achieving IV goals. A smaller purpose could be to see what the other side is saying, but my suggestion is to ignore them in general.
I went to both the links; one of the I understand is a Libertarian organization and the other radical left. As anyone can see, they don't represent the views of mainstream America. So, it is a waste of time and effort and above all a distraction here. That's my advice.

Hi all,
I don't believe having I-140 filed by a company constitutes a violation of beneficiary's non-immigrant status.
To be eligible for the student status, among other things, you must demonstrate non-immigrational intent, that's true. When applying for a visa and going through immigration control at the port of entry, the burden of proof is on you. Therefore, the chances of getting F1 visa or being admitted on F1 status with I-140 filed are very slim. Nobody will believe you are entrying to study and go back when you have approved labour and I-140 pending (or even approved). Once you inside the country, however, INS have the burden of proof in the status violation cases. And for them to proove in a court of law that you violated your status by changing your intention to go back would be impossible without some sort of open confession and signed affadevit from you. So, don't worry about it.
Person's intentions change over time, there's nothing wrong with it. Peolple file adjustment od status applications all the time: B1 to F1, F1 to H1B, etc. Filing I-485 from student status, or from any status, should not be a problem in itself either, as that is precicely what you are declaring by this application: "My intention changed, I don't want to go back anymore, please adjust my status to Permanent resident".
There is a potential problem here, though. If you apply for a position and initiate LC process shortly after you entered the country on non-immigrant visa, you might be giving INS in future a reason to suspect that you were not truthful on your original non-immigrant visa application, and your "real" intention was not study but work in the USA. That's where there could be trouble, as if they are sucsessful in prooving this, it could lead to deportation and lifetime ban. Per my lawer, the safe time to wait before initiating any status changing process is one year.
My personal situation: I was on F1 visa for 6 years before I started LC process with a company for a totally unrelated to my field of studies position (EB3). We had PERM approved and filed I-140, with me still on F1. I-140 was approved and now we are stuck in retrogression. Meanwhile, and after I-140 was approved, I graduated and applied for H1B based on my major. I have disclosed on H1B application that I have I-140 approved from another company and attached a copy. Not a question asked. H1B was approved within 9 days (cap exempt). And there's more. Because I violated my F1 status years ago by accepting unauthorized employment (tracable through taxes), my lawer told me to leave the country and re-enter, to cut the tail clean and be eligable for adjustment of status when the quotas open up. I went to Canada, and applied for H1B visa stamp, disclosing on the applicqation that I have I-140 approved and have violated my visa terms previously ("yes" to question 38, in "kiss of death" section of the application). Very stressful time that was. But in the end - no problem, got the stamp and was back in two days.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. I hope this helps.

It is my understanding that many GC applicants do not need labor clearance. Nurses, EB1 folks etc. etc. So the total demand for GC = 30K labor cases + 100K non-labor cases. That would only leave 10K for retrogressed countries.
Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?

I have to agree with AngelFire here. There is a clear distinction between the EB2 and EB3 eligibility requirements. And who are we kidding, if your employer or attorney were willing to file an EB2 petition for you, would you be the "One category for all, Joe" that you are now, and demand that your employer file in EB-3 instead? Of course not.
I'll admit it, I probably would have felt the same way if I was EB3. Being human sometimes makes us want others to not get what we don't have.
I am amazed that there supposedly are people working at gas stations with valid EB2 petitions? And a "LOT" of them, too. I highly doubt that.
There is a process and system in place to ensure the validity/genuine-ness of each application. If phony applications slip through that process, the process needs to be fixed and more checks established. I don't see how scrapping EB2 can fix that.
I'll give you an example. I know someone that has an EB1 (NIW or EA, one of these two) petition in process. To the best of my judgement, I don't feel that this person qualifies (at all) to be an EB1 Green card recipient. And this person getting their green card before mine comes along, will cause some discomfort to me. But I can't let that bother me too much. There is a system in place to ensure that these type of things don't happen, and I would like that system to improve so that the people who truly deserve EB1 Green cards continue to have that option.
I also know someone else that used the labor substitution option to get their green card within a year - start to finish. But this person was a genuine candidate for labor substitution. He had the necessary academic qualifications and work experience prior to the date of the LC, and the job was a valid one as well. He was a true example of what the labor substitution process was introduced for. Even if a large percentage of labor sub cases weren't as strong as his, I find it hard to hate everyone that benefitted from it, such as this person. It would be just wrong to say that this person violated any rules, because he didn't. Yes, I wish I qualified for some of these fast track options, but I don't, and I can live with that.
Thanks,

Don't worry there is no copyright for this text :)

Friends:
<<If you already have your Green Card, please forward this email to those who are stuck in the GC retrogression mess. >>>
However, if you are like me and are stuck in USCIS retrogression, then you surely want to become a member of "Immigration Voice (IV)".
IV has a team who is lobbying for you and me. The Membership is free. Currently, we only have 5851 members in IV, while almost 300,000 people are stuck in the retrogression. IV needs to show a large member base to communicate their voice to the Senators and Congressmen. If you don't stand up for it, who will??
So if you want something to happen within the US legislation/Immigration policies in the near future, please join hands with IV.
Remember, there is Power in Unity!!!
So please become a member at http://www.immigrationvoice.org/ Time is flying, please don't delay!
