If you read the rules closely, the employer is attesting to the fact that the job will be readily available at a future date. So as long as the employer issues a letter attesting to this, there is no issue. If you do indeed move prior to the six months, make sure you amend your H1B for the necessary changes (eg location)
Confirm with the co lawyer also.
Thanks for the info. I may be indeed move prior to six months of filing of 485. Meaning, I recently filed my 485 on July 2nd, and am planning on moving by August 30th.
Does this mean that I can move to a different state as long as my employer issues a letter stating that they would hire me back in the original location at the time of issuance of GC?
Also, what does Amending the H1-B mean? And, would it involve much effort and complications, and would I have to file for the 140 and 485 again?

Can any senior Guy/Guru confirm this...
"USCIS have suspended the AC21 act" is it so? And when USCIS suspended AC21?
If u look at the distribution for the fiscal year 2005, EB-2 did not use much of the surplus AC21 numbers. So why is EB2 retrogressed for India and China now. As somebody indicated in other threads, the USCIS may have suspended the AC21 act.

Yes they need proof of your being able to get back to USA. At my time, I didn't had EAD or AP in-hand.
You can use private company as mentioned below. As far as I know the company I contacted was based in DC and they said they only process for US citizens. So I had to do on my own thru Chicago consulate office of Germany.
All you need is proof that you shall get entry back in USA.
I got my German visa through www.visanetwork.com
They take some fee but would get Visa for you. They make sure all your papers are OK and would tell you what to do.

AFAIK, one can amend the EB-3 485 petition and inform USCIS to use the new EB-2 labor and 140 for the same 485 application from before. I don't think that a new 485 needs to be filed in this case. I may be wrong though.
Anyone has any legal insights into this?

Rajarao,
I think many of us send the affidavit of non availablity..your case must be in mad man's hand....I guess what other guys suggesting should do the job for you...
Did you c a update online or you just recived the RFE with no online status change.
Good Luck to you.
Thanx
I have submitted 3 affidavits and non-availability certificate, but NSC sent RFE asking for oldest evidence of birth
a. medical records with child and both parents name
b. hospital records with child and both parents name
c. census records with child and both parents name
d. school records with child and both parents name
e. religious records with child and both parents name for naming ceremony.
I do not have any of them, at the most the school record is 10th grade with only fathers name.
Any ideas?,. Lawyer says its OK, send whatever is available and write an explanation why any of the above can't be obtained.

gcwait2007 ,
I was told that filing AC-21 memo to CIS is NOT mandatory under law.
why do I "have to " to file it?
one concern i have is that I joined the current company BEFORE 180 days (just 14 days before) as I got laid off from my pevious employer and the previous employer will NOT revoke the I-140
If I file AC-21 now, Will not USCIS find out that I joined before 180 days and find out I was laid off and cause unnecessary complications with RFE etc?
Please advise your thoughts

How many of you support this idea ?
Rally in DC in the morning and Fasting till 5PM in front of the capitol.
Good idea. Now, how do we show that we are starving? Wont it be considered advantageous (healthwise) for many of us to starve? These days starving is not considered a self punishment but rather a therapy. I would suggest 'one day over eating-junk food' right in the front of the capitol would be better. In the US, I have noticed that most workers probably get a cofee in the morning, a pack of potatoe fries+coke for lunch and then eat heavily after 5PM. Thats very close to what you are proposing. Holding packards like "we skipped coke and lays today. now you better solve our problem".

heh..heh.. i guess you're wrong :cool:
my LC haven't came out from BEC mess, PD Feb 2005 - Non RIR/TR (ROW)
just wanna know about this whole green card cap thing
so i can prepare myself mentally how long i have to wait for GC :o
No one knows how long. My guess (I am PD mARCH 2004 ROW) is:
In October ROW EB3 (?) you may be able to apply for I-485 & I-140, BUT you are now in line behind 100,000 ? 50,000 ? 500,000? applicants.
Hopefully this won't happen, but you need to be prepaird for a 1 - 3 year wait. These hundreds of thousands of applicaitons in for I-485 will now back-up that system
Again - hopefully I am wrong. I have been here since March 2001 and am 1 - 3 years away I think.

There are 2 kinds of people in the world -
one who think that others (other people or government) is responsible for their current state and others are the ones who are willing to introspect, make appropriate changes and then succeed. Even a dumb (read "") can figure where they belong to.
An itchy dog needs to get himself rubbed against all possible objects so as to keep that itch in control. These websites are such places where these people go to satisfy their itch. Even the owners of these itchy dogs desert them (read "their god-father politicians") when they start doing this. Do you think, people like us, who are busy with their daily interesting work, family have time to look at them?
Look, the option is with us which is NOT to look at these stupid websites. None is forcing you to see these websites. So no point in complaining about them. First amendment rights for stupid is like a cigar in the hand of drunk monkey in california jungles (and we keep searching where these wild fires come from?).. so better neglect them and focus on our goal.
We are surely going to reach our goal, no matter what these stupid people say... if you think hard then you will realize then the life's goal is much beyond simply getting EB GC...

I am not sure about e-filing. Personally, I think efiling is a hassle as you have to go for a biometric appointment while paper filing or efiling does not make a difference in terms of work/result/timeline. I would recommend paperfiling. No matter how modern the front end is, the back end is all paper based and you will leave the people working on your case with a comfortable medium that they are familiar with if you paperfile. :D

I am no expert in this. But my best guess is that, he immediately need to contact the "indian consulate" and file a report. I believe the report date is important in future, in case if you need to give some explanations. Explain the situation to USCIS also. But I believe USCIS may need a new passport to re-issue the I-94. For the next travel, he might need to goto US consulate in India, and apply for B2 again.
Hi my father lost his passport at the airport today and with it his I94 and US B1 visa. We do have scanned copies of his US Visa and Passport. I would appreciate any pointers on the following question -
1. What are my next steps?
2. I figured from browsing few sites that he needs to apply for I94 - does any one know of any vague ETA there?
3. Would he have to go through his visa stamping again?
Much apprecaite your reply.

hi,
I am confused about whether to suggest 'member of the professions holding an advance degree" or "an alien of exceptional ability" for my NIW petition. What is the criteria to select one over the other? I have a MS/PhD from a US university. Proving to be exceptional is certainly difficult, but then holding an advanced degree may not be enough of a criteria for a successful petition.
Thanks.

My lawyer is arguing that a MS degree in CS would be sufficient evenif I don't have a BS CS degree.
I didn't realize my attorney was too incompetent when I hired him. The sole purpose of appointing an attorney was to make my life easy. Rather he is giving me a hard time.
Mention clearly what is indicated in job requirements. If the labor did not allow for BS in any enggg or related engg and just asked for BS in CS your I-140 will be denied for sure. No need to wait for the denial. Why did your attorney filed a labor like that for you knowing you do not have BS in CS.

Brownback rescinds immigration bill support
http://washingtontimes.com/national/20070425-110212-8486r.htm
Look at this story. Sen Brownback, who supported last year senate passed CIR, now turning back. Sen. McCain already back off.
"I would not vote for the same bill," Mr. Brownback told reporters yesterday morning, saying that after the bill passed the Senate he had a chance to study its effects and decided it led to too much immigration.
It's a major reversal for a man who is listed as one of seven original sponsors of the bill, along with Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, and Sen. John McCain, Arizona Republican, who spearheaded the bill.
I agree with Logiclife. This is a news article and gcretroiv should have posted it in the News Article Thread. This way forum members can read it and it does not stick out as bad as it is right now.

Dear Friends:
I also have a similar question on traveling abroad for 4 weeks with my 485 pending.
As you all know that when we applied our 485 AOS (EB-based) we had to also submit the copy of our latest 1-94 card (which I did). Now that I am leaving the US, I will be handing over the original 1-94 at the port of exit (a copy of which was submitted with the 485 application). Then when returing, I will be receiving another new 1-94. So my questions:
(a) Will I have to re-send the INS another copy of my new 1-94 when I return to the US (b) also might surrendering the old 1-94 and getting new one confuse my 485 records with the INS (c) Finally, do any of you know of anyone who with 485 pending, a valid H1B visa, and no Advanced Parole has had any problems returning back to the US?
Please advise, and that would be so appreciated. Regards.

There is nothing illegal about working part-time using EAD while working full-time on H1B. It has nothing to do with last entry into US. In fact, EAD has nothing to do with entering US. To enter US, you need either a valid visa or valid AP. IO won't even ask you about your EAD.
EAD and H1B are mutually exclusive. If you are maintaining proper H1 status (ie, have a valid H1 status and working full-time for the job for which you have H1), it is completely legal to do flip burgers or drive cabs using EAD to supplement your income. It does not affect H1 status. I have confirmed this with multiple attorneys on multiple occasions.
The above is 100% correct. The immigration law does not "invalidate" H1 status if one uses EAD to work P/T or second job if All the H1 requirements are met and the person continues to work for H-1 sponsor at the same time. Then, one is still in H-1 valid status. If one leaves H1 employer or switches to a different employer LEAVING the original H1B employer by using EAD, then one is no longer in H-1 status.
