I have RN from vermont for H1b extension 1/14/2008 - still pending.
Not that it is really part of the issue here, but Vermont is also processing my I485 - how is it they are almost 1 YEAR behind TX and NE processing times? Will this be resolved by load balancing at some point, or is this random?

Why do you need a new lawyer? You don't need any lawyer now for that matter, but the lawyer who filed your I-485 should not have any problem in continuing to represent you even if your last employer paid your GC processing fees. If you signed G-28, which most likely you did, your lawyer established relationship with you to represent you.
Infact today is my 2nd day at my new job. I have decided not to inform USCIS. And I am in process of hiring a new lawyer , since my previous company paid for my GC , the company lawyer asked me to go with different lawyer for all my future needs.
I will hire a lawyer and plan to file G28 form in this month.

If you guys don't mind I am opening this thread.
I am just trying to find out the average Lawyer Fee and Cost of GC (including Labor, I-140, 485, AP, EAD etc)
So far I have paid 8K to Lawyer and USCIS.
PERM: $1400 (case approved)
I-140: $1200 (case approved)
I-485: $1200 for primary applicant, $750 spouse, $500 per child
My company paid for H-1B and GC

I think you can get a letter from employer stating that they can not employ you any more. I am not sure if they issue a letter to every person that loses the job. Just make sure that your intention to work with the sponsering employer is documented somehow .
I have an idea here ... just write an email to your boss or HR stating "how good company has been to you and how they helped you with your immigration process and given a choice you would rather work with the same company"
Take a printout of all these emails and save them if you still have a chance. You can use all these to prove if you run into any problems during the naturalization process.
Apart from these things collect the news paper clips or company wide emails that talk about downsizing. These things should help you to prove your intentions if there is a query about your intentions at the time of naturalization.
If you think company will survive for 5 or 10 more years , just keep in touch with your HR
I got a letter saying they can not give me my job back dated 5 days after my approval.
I show up told them I was approved, they say sorry we have not sold anything on those 3 months, we are doing bad, cannot take you back.
They dont have any problems with it and I can wait 10 years to become a citizen if that is what it takes.

I added this process:
1. Senate Judiciary mark up and pass bill proposal
2. Senate majority leader schedule floor discussion. If bill do not have support of more than 60% Senators, Motion of Cloture can not pass and bill may have indefinite discussion and amendments. It is important to have more than 60% member's support otherwise bill have no future. Senate Kennedy is trying to negotiate with both parties to have more than 60 senators in favor of bill.
3. Senate Pass bill
4. Step 1 to 3 are separately done at House
5. If the language of bill passed by House and Senate is not same, it will go to House/Senate conference committee. It is in power jurisdiction of House and Senate leadership to appoint committee members and their schedule. Last year, House leadership didn't appoint committee for CIR.
6. Conference committee will remove all inconsistency of the bill and approve bill with common language.
7. Senate and House separately pass/fail conference approved bill with limited discussion and no amendments.
8. If it pass by both House and Senate, President will sign it or use veto to the bill.
Long way to go. it really need political will, blessing, and commitment to pass any bill.
Macaca has posted a thread explaninng the legislative process ..
Please go through it...
For a bill to become law...
1. House has to pass it..
2. Senate has to pass it..
They might pass different versions..
3. They have to resolve their differences through conference process.
4. The conference report is approved by both houses..
5. President signs it...
The sempember timeline looks realistic...
Please donot post the same question at multiple places...

Got the status update email from USCIS stating a card has been issued for my 485 application.
I am not married yet. What are the implications if I get married to a citizen of india residing in India.
Kindly refer me to appropriate material if you know of any.
Thanks,
Akshay
All,
anyone knows about this visa, is this family sponsorship GC ?
Family Second Preference (F2): Spouses, minor children, and unmarried sons and daughters (over age 20) of lawful permanent residents. (114,200) At least seventy-seven percent of all visas available for this category will go to the spouses and children; the remainder will be allocated to unmarried sons and daughters.
PETITION
Relatives of intending immigrants who plan to base their immigrant visa applications on family relationship must obtain Form I-130, Immigrant Petition for Relative, from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). The petitioning U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident must submit Form I-130 to the USCIS office. Forms and instructions are available from USCIS. Once USCIS approves the petition, they will send the petitioner a notice of approval, Form I-797. USCIS will also forward the approved petition to the Immigrant Visa Processing Center, which will contact the intending immigrant with further information.

Friends I think a great injustice is being done to NSC filers , their applications are taking months for ead and ap, while TSC filers are getting ead adn AP as soon as they get receipt, do you think this will improve for NSC in future, at this time looks like august NSC filers will haveto wait till the end of the year for EAD,ap, which is sad.
I would not mind getting EAD few weeks late and prefered to have reciept notice recieved instead. I filed Jul 2nd at TSC and no news yet about Reciept, CC, EAD, AP. Most July 2 filer at NSC got their reciepts 2 weeks ago.
There may be 1% chance of 485 being rejected and that is pretty scary. Easly NSC filers can atleast put their mind at rest for 485 acceptance.

Question 1: If they do this, what will happen to my pending I-485, EAD & AP?
Ans: I think it will be rejected, since the 140 has been revoked.
Question 2: Lawyers are saying that they have to withdraw the LC Sub based I-140 because the job descriptions are different? Is it not possible to file a totally new I-140 and keep both of them pending?
Ans: Not sure if this is ture. There are so many people who filed in EB2 as well as EB3. Hope it will and should not be a problem. If possible do stick on to the old PD since with a 2003 LC u can get the GC 2 to 3 years earlier that the 2006. Its worth taking a risk I suppose. If the company can prove Ability to pay and your qualification matches that of the LC, then it should be ok. There is no point of withdrawing the old one.
The other option is the file the new 140 and after the approval then interfile 485 with the new and then have the old one withdrawn. If you withdraw the 140 then you will have to wait for a long long time to file ur 485 with 2006pd.
This is just my opinion. Use it at your own risk.

We all know this EB3-EB2 game is total non-sense and unjust.
So many extra-ordinary people who could/should have been in EB2 are in EB3 simply because : corporate lawyer filed in wrong category, they did not want to work for a desi employer who would file in EB2 in exchange for a lot of things, they did not want to buy an approved labor and create fake experience certs/affidavits, or for various other family/job realated reasons which have nothing to do with his/her education/skills/experience.
At the same time, a lot of street smart people got their EB2 labor/I140 approved while they worked at gas stations.
In my opinion all IT professionals, MBA's, Lawyers, Doctors and all other BE/Btech/ME/MTech engg. should be in SAME category (EB2 or EB3). The only people who should be in a preferred category are the scientists who are actually working as research scientists for a govt or non-profit organization (not just anyone who bought a PhD from Dhanabad University for Rs 15000).
If there must be EB2 vs. EB3 then it should be based on a well-defined, measurable and well followed criteria, for example a aptitude/IQ test, interview/GD, there are many other ways to cover all types of talents.

asking for donations is nothing wrong. After all Immigration voice is for everyone's benefit.
At the same time, keeping everything transparent is IV's duty. IV should not wait for someone to ask these details...
Yes true, and whatever $100 I'm donating is going to benefit Ivar more than me since he's current.
It looks like no one is watching the IV video posted above. The summary is:
1. IV is a non-profit, and these orgs have very strict tax laws.
2. If funds are misused, people can be put in jail and deported.
3. Complete disclosure of strategy, investments will hinder IVs ability to campaign as anti-immigrants and our opponents are looking at our strategy to quash it. This is especially true with lobbying.
4. Previous years annual reports are available.
Facebook or Google are not going to publish their daily funds usage report or they will be out of business in 1 month
The reason I'm asking for donations is - Without thousands of members donating, we cannot successfully lobby for Green card laws for us.
Its not directly going to benefit me, I'm still a long way off.
The person in the video is not me.

I am an EB3 India applicant with a PD of August 2001. Cant file I 485 due to retro so cant get AP or EAD for spouse. I am currently in 7th yr of H1 and will soon be applying for 3 yr extension for 8,9,10 th yr based on approved I 140.
I am also a Canadian PR and one option is to move to Canada. However one option which I have been researching seriously lately is to live in Windsor, Ontario and work in Detroit , Michigan.
Windsor and Detroit are both Urban areas and twin cities on each side of the border connected by bridge and a tunnel. From Windsor most of Detroit metro is only 1 hrs drive. Downtown Detroit is only half hr drive.
Here are some advantages to this.
1) You keep your H1 B visa, and US Salary.
2) You earn time towards maintaining your Canadian residency and even Canadian Citizenship.
3) You have best of both worlds. (US Salaries opportunities, Canadian healthcare/social benefits).
4) Spouse can work in Canada and keep H4 also.
5) Can continue GC process without loss of security.
6) Visit other cities in US. ie even if spouse /fly is in other city you can easily commute once a month etc.
7) Once you get GC you can always move back to US.
Disadvantages
1) Crossing border each day (normally not an issue but border gets busy on some days).
2) Paying Canadian income tax.
3) Only possible if you get transfer to Detroit or new job there.
4) If you own home etc or your wife is studying etc you may have to live separately for some time.
Has anyone done this or knows anyone who has done this ? In theory and on paper its a good idea. Apparently thousand of ppl (even non immigrants) do this both ways.
Any insights anyone can share ? This may be good option in many cases.
Thanks

H1-B slavery: the American nightmare. Why would a major corporation deceive recruits only to end up with seriously unhappy employees with a serious grudge against their employer.
Well...You are definately not a slave....
You can walk away any time you like......
In the end it is the individual's decision...
Calling ourselves as slaves opens up whole new can of worms...

Thank you Hermione (Granger?)
What about salary requirements? would it be okay if I get 20-30% lower
salary? Do I have to be getting paychecks every month?
Absolutely. Assuming your I-140 is approved/approvable and will not be withdrawn, you will be able to AC21 to your new position after 180 days of I-485 pending. And the best thing, it will only depend on similarity of the job, and no ability to pay questions. Good luck!
