Well, first it was Consulting Vs Permanent, then EB2 V EB3 --> This was getting ugly when EB2 was moving fast, before the sudden pause and then USCIS announced no more movement or less than 2 week movement for every VB, and not "A Quota for US Master's or Higher" --> Well they are too many Ph.D's still waiting in line @ EB2-- not all qualify for EB1.. so chances are slim.. if you are from a retro county...
Only solution for this mess, that got created due to slow processing, erroneous VB on July '07, though helped many here with EAD, Labor substitution that used to exists, different processing center, RIR / non-RIR, different order for spill over from previous years and all ..is RECAPTURE of unused Visa and regulating the future process so new applicants does not have to go through the same mess we are going through..
Not sure.. We have been talking about RECAPTURE for many years now, but none happened until now... though we have tried again and again... may be very soon we can get out voice heard..
You can post any number of ideas in forum's.. but it is all easy said than done.. Think we need more focus and try hard to get one issue addressed at a time. A quota for Master's will not get you much ahead in the queue as there are too many "Master's" already waiting in the queue.. It is just my opinion.

If you have an approved I140 (does not matter which company whether former, curent or future employer), you can get a 3 year H1 extension. There is nothing your current employer can do. How ever, as the others suggested above, you should find you new job and transfer your H1 by using premium processing to be on the safe side. Also apply for new GC process which would allow you to port your priority date as long as your I140 is not revoked for froad/misrepresentation. There are certain rebates on this too.
If you are layed-off, there is nothing much to think. Just act quickly to get your 3 year extension and be optimistic.
thanks tom for the reply,
I have one more question what if i am applying for the 6th year extension ( have completed 5yrs already on H1B) can i still get 3yrs extension?
thanks

Hi Sparky_Jones,
Thanks for the advice. Looks like our cases are very close to the PD and type. Let us be in touch. I will PM you my contact info.

Ignore the Receipt Date on transfer notices. I have the same situation, receipt date on transfer notices was Sep 19, but the receipt date is Jul 23. I checked the receit notices, and they have the right receipt date. Only the receipt date on the receipt notices matters.

Hi Guys,
My LCA has Computer Software Engineer as job title.I have 5 years of Experience as Oracle functional consultant.Currently I'm working as Oracle consultant.My 140 is approved and got my EAD card.In jan 2008 it will be 180 days of filing 485.I want to change my career towards IT Sales.
I have an offer from an American Staffing company as a Technical Recruiter.The job responsibilities include hiring Software Engineers.But the job title is different from my LCA.I want to join this company using EAD in jan 2008 and apply AC 21.Today I have checked with my Lawyer this is what she says"
In instances such as this, when we send the letter to the USCIS regarding AC21, we include the following details with reference to the job title. � Although the job title differs, the job duties are substantially the same. The title used by the company is their internal designation for this position."
She says that i will be able to work as Technical Recruiter using EAD.Any one can suggest me on this?I have very little knowledge about AC 21 and how it works
Thanks in advance

Accepting I-485 without PD current also needs legislation...if you don't know about that already !
Good news could only be this. Accept I-485 and issue EADs. Country limit cannot be removed that quickly. I think a legislation needs to be passed to be in effect. What say??

YEah i did get my passport renewed rigght after i came back from Canada.
However i totally forgot about my I-94.
So you think the only way to get the i-94 extended is to go out of country.
Even i heard about getting I-94 renewed from major international airports. Does anybody has any further information related to this?
Please advise.

It appears you created this ID just today only to post this message.
Sounds fishy.
That is absolutely correct.
(I deleted the post on this thread. The poster shamelessly posted the company URL and info on his post to promote the consulting company.). We have immediately banned this user and have been deleting the same in the past too and banning this user.
This ID was created and the other ID for which this person was complaining was posting to promote his website and company on IV. The company is another consulting company trying to get employees from this site by luring them for greencard sponsorship. Now when IV deletes such posts, they start hating IV.
There have been several instances where other immigration site owners and health insurance agents for US visitors have created IDs on our site and posted information to promote their insurance or site. We will continue to delete them. This effort is not about making money like they do from the for profit site and company, but we use our contributions and money to help the lobbying effort. We will disallow anyone using this site to promote their business. We have seen what they have written against IV on other sites and this site and it proves that they do not care about this cause and just want to make money off members of this site. If some business or website, truly cares about this cause, they need to show it by posting IV banner ad on their website and/or contributing to this cause. And yes, we will definitely acknowledge their contributions on this site publicly. But we will not allow any business interest taking advantage of IV for their own promotion or financial interests.
There have been members who post insulting messages on the site and get banned. Once they get banned, they go to other sites and post negative messages against IV. IV has refrained from exposing them or countering them. We have better things to do and do not have time for their nonsense. However this thread should now tell our members how difficult it is to moderate our forums so that it does not go out of control and how we take decisions to ban members. We do not like to ban anyone. But only ban when it crosses the line.
We are not scared of any threats. Infact we have received threats from all kinds of people. As long as we do what is right and in the interest of our members we are certain we will win this struggle for which IV was created.

I would love to take the lead with this project. I have done a fund raising initiative for Arthritis Foundation of America when I ran the Mardi Gras Marathon in honor of my mom. I raised $1,100 in a 6 month period for the AFA. The idea I have is that Team IV members will participate at their local events and we should pick 3 national events such as the Chicago Marathon/Half Marathon, the Breakers 10K (is that San Diego?) and even the Crescent City Classic 10K right here in my hometown. Team IV should be well represented at these 3 national events.
Team IV members can set up an e-mail support group when training for any events. There are numerous on-line training guides which we can use. And I can also look into the idea of an on-line training coach.
I already have the committment from 4 friends, all of whom are US Citizens, to join this Team because they support our cause.
This is great NolanIndian and I wish you guys all the best!!! Unfortunately I am going to have to watch from the sidelines so to speak as I have ongoing bursitus from marathon antics in 2006--Go IV and watch out for those joints and tendons ;)

I have used AC21 and have not sent a letter yet to USCIS as it is optional and that is what my attorney recommended...that is to wait for an RFE (I have changed address as I moved to a diff. state; chances of an RFE increases)
That said, I am wondering that with a G28 representation on the files with USCIS, if I send a AC21 letter all by myself (without attorney), will it be honored by USCIS ? I am comtemplating of doing this as I wanted to prempt the RFE thereby saving precious time (when date is current) and the money that I would have to pay my attorney when the RFE reaches him (I would rather he reply to an RFE but want to give my best to avoid it)
any ideas ?

Can you get AC 21 advantage if you just wait ( NOT WORK in case of a friendly past employer) after filing 485 ?
Is it necessary to work for 180 days ?
If working for 180 days is not required then, one can work for someone else on H1B & file 485 from the past employer. After 180 days of filing, one could use AC21 to move from one job to another.
Can some one give expert advise ?
Thanks

The doldrums of August continue on Capitol Hill. Congress is out of session and so there is little visible progress to report on the immigration bill. But that doesn�t mean that there is no news at all. We are still getting indications that the Senate and the House are engaged in quiet negotiations over the framework for a compromise and there were news reports this week that the White House has also been working to encourage a deal. It still appears that the "triggers" concept could be the answer. The idea that has been promoted by several in the GOP is that the legalization provisions in the immigration bill would be delayed until after border security measures are put in place. Expect things to heat up in September.

Thanks for the link. I looked at it before I posted my case but I don't think it was a mistake by the customs officer. He specifically told me that he cannot stamp the date of the future I-797's expiry date (Jun 2010) and asked me to contact my local office just before the current visa expires. My current one expires June 04 2007. The future 797 is valid from June 05 2007 till June 04 2010. But my visa stamping in the passport is till June 04 2010.

Gurus,
I need your help in this scenario. I went to India during Mar 06 and got a stamping on my passport till Jun 2010 (based on my I140 approval). But at the POE, the officer stamped my I-94 till Jun 07 as he could only stamp the date that was on my current I-797. He also told me that I can goto the local USCIS office and extend my I-94 till 2010. Is it true? and if so, how would I go about doing that??
Thanks in Advance for all your help.

will you believe official instructions from USCIS or advice from one of us with half knowledge.
We (including me) have tendency to find easy path which causes trouble most of the time.
Enjoy your GC..

No I did not. Because my attorney did not ask me to do so. But, after I got my GC, they emailed me some instructions on what to do and what not to do. In that list they had this instruction to carry my GC with me all the time in BOLD.
So I got concerned and posted this which has resulted in a lot of hating and loathing. I am not understanding why is this my fault.

there remains a sliver of hope- its called the lame duck session when a lot of such measures are passed. post election, everyone feels "safer".
a marked up bill, ready for the house, could sneak through in the post election season. we have to keep trying!
Unfortunately almost nothing actually gets done in the lame duck!

There are so many things that needs fixing that there is always some group that is dissatisfied with the administration.
Second, even after having taught constitutional law and sticking by the constitution, he is charged with violating the constitution! And movements like "taking back our country" rallies are held - taking the country back from whom? taking the country back to which century? He has to even circumvent appointing people to head agencies to avoid republican stonewalling!
Third, if Obama's popularity was high, one can accuse him of trying to do nothing to keep his approval ratings up. But that is not the case. His approval ratings are low..
By saying this, I am not saying that he has done everything right. But we need to know the ground realities instead of coming up with statements like he is not doing anything for us. He is stonewalled everywhere on every issue! For us to bring our issues to the forefront, as some one suggested, we need to get the media to understand our problems and ask the right questions. It all boils down to us being active!!
