You've got to hand it to these attorneys. They have a way of writing a lot without saying anything.
Sheela Murthy excels in this art. In this situation, should we still file for 485 or not? She will write a whole page on this and finally say you have to make that decision yourself.
Thank you, but I already know that one!

Visited several countries.
Whenever, visa interview was for Technical Presentations, Business Meeting and Business Development, I used purely formal dress (Black polished shoes, black/dark grey trousers, white/light blue, a good tie, appropriate hair style).
For engineering roles, business casual, casual shoes, black/grey/brown trouser (I never used jeans), shirt with light stripe/check.
For H-1B, it has been business casual as role was engineering.
I got every time visa - virtually no questions asked - almost within minutes. I faced questions like: Out of 14-15 stamiping these are only few questions asked
In US consulate Ottawa: Business Casual
Q: Why you want to go to US?
A: Some of my friends driving to NY, I want to join them for shopping
In US consulate Delhi: Business Casual
Q: Last time we gave you Visa and you did not go, why?
A: I did enough shopping before friends went to NY and so dropped the idea of going.
In US consulate Mexico: Formal
Q: Why do you need Visa Revalidation, you could have continued to work without it.
A: Company have plans to send me for business meeting in other countries.
My input and thinking is that appropriate dress helps - and in this context, I mentioned understanding of appropriate as above.
Good Luck

Remember I-140 is owned by your employer. If you quit the job your greencard process will start from PERM again with your new employer.
Portability applys six months after filing I-485.
Hope that helps.

can anyone answer this
I know a person who had to leave his employer only after 60 days of filling his 485(not even 180 days for ac21) and still got GC.
There are thousands who already working for new employer using AC21 after 180 days.
and you are scared to death even after getting GC. Let me ask you this...are you a man or chicken?

hello folks,
I am switching jobs after an approved I140 and over 180 days from 485 receipt.
I am expecting no problems when leaving my current company. but just incase they decide to revoke my 140,
- is it ok to file AC21 after i receive the NOID if some thing happens or is it better to file AC21 now?
one other complication is i will be changing address too. how long does it take for USCIS to update my new address in their records? the reason i am asking is if they send me RFE or NOID, i will totally miss the boat if they send it to the wrong address. i am sure they will send a copy to my attorney, but he works form my current employer and I will assume he is less likely to help. Does it help if i file G28 with my own name and my new address?
I need to join my new job in 10 days and i hev give my crrent company a notice so it is a bit urgent. Please help.
Thank you
Rex
I have not yet used AC21 to port my job and I am still with my GC sponsoring employer. However I can share my knowledge gained thru various threads in IV and other forums.
If the current GC sponsoring employer decide to revoke the approved I-140, then he/ his lawyer should notify you their intention as well. When they send the letter to USCIS, a copy of the same will be sent to you. There are chances that you may not receive this letter.
If I were you, I would do the following:
Step 1: I would notify the change in address to USCIS. (AR-11 form electronically) and watch out for LUDs.
Step 2: After settling down in new job atleast for few days (one month minimum), I would notify the USCIS about my using AC21 portability for changing the job. There are appropriate formats for notifying USCIS, which you can find in this forum. In case, NOID is issued in future, then the early advice of AC21 would come in handy. I have heard the successful stories where the individuals had sent AC21 intimation earlier.
All the best in your new job! Good Luck

Hey Teddy,
During you process for porting from EB3 to EB2 did you:
1. Do this within the same organization after getting your advanced degree?
2. Did you have to file for a new PERM and start from the begineeing under EB2?
3. Were you successfully able to port your PD or did you start with a new PD under EB2?
Hi Harry mine was an EB2 case to begin with, no porting. Only this is my timing was not correct and I missed the Jul 07 window, the labor filing took way too long. So kind of in the same boat as you, trying to find legal avenues to upgrade to EB1. Let�s wait for some advice to come by. Looking at your case as well I believe that EB1-A is the only option.

Our Current EAD is expiring on 10/01/2008. So we had applied for extension in june. On july 7th our application was approved and today we recieved our EAD cards. I was expecting a one year extension , which is until 10/01/2009. But USCIS send us ead cards that will expire on 01/01/2009.
What should be the course of action here. Do i need to reapply or just contact USCIS and will they be able to fix it? Any body on similiar situation.?

Hi,
When I go online to get the visa appointment for parents I'm not able to get a date and this has been going since 25 days(It asks to check back in 24 hours)
They changed the visa fee this year (2008).
The message on the vfs site says all those with HDFC receipt# obtained last year should try and get visa appointment before Jan/31/08.
What can I do now?
There is also no way I can put my name in the signature box while filling the application.(When the application is filled by someone not parents themselves they ask for siganture of the person filling the application )
What should we do in this case as we are filing online?
Will there be any problem when you don't have H1 stamping on the passport (but have valid H1 and have EAD and AP)
Will there be any problem in visa approval for parents.
Thank you.

Got medical RFE at 485 stage.Here are RFE details :
The civil surgeon's signature on the supplement Form to I-693 submmitted with your application to adjust status is photocopy and is therefore unacceptable.Your original Supplement Form to I-693 is hereby returned to you in the enclosed sealed envelope.Take this letter and your enlclosed Supplemental Form I-693 to the civil surgeon who administered your vaccinations.ONLY THE CIVIL SURGEON SHOULD OPEN THE SEALED ENVELOPE.The civil surgeon must verify that he or she completed the Supplemental Form to I-693 and place it in a sealed envelope before returning it to you.
The medical examination report,Form I-693 submitted with your application to adjust status ,also contains a photocopied signature and is therefore unacceptable.Your orginal Form I-693 is hereby returned to you in the enclosed sealed envelope.Take this letter and your enclosed Form I-693 to civil surgeon who conducted your medical examination.ONLY THE CIVIL SURGEON SHOULD OPEN THE SEALED ENVELOPE.The civil surgeon must verify that he or she completed the medical examination recorded on the I-693 and must sign and date the form in the space provided.
Did anyone receive similar RFE?If yes,how did you handle this RFE?
Do I need to take the tests again?
Can doctor fill a new form based on the previous results.
Appreciate your help and guidance in this matter.
Thanks

Following this logic only BEC cases are affected.
I use the word "only" caughtiously because there are still a lot in BECs and if it is you it is not a statistic.
If BECs complete processing by year end then all I140s could be issued within a few months of that.
After BEC cases have been processed then what's the problem since PERM is workable?
The only problems I see are:
BEC cases -- it is unacceptable to leave them out in the cold after such a long wait.
Abusive employers cancelling I140 before a new I140 is obtained after moving jobs.
The extension beyond 6th year was only ever intended to allow for the labor certification backlog.
Unfortunately the law makers acted too late and many had to leave some years ago before 7th year extensions were allowed. I hope they don't make up for that by acting too soon now (before BECs complete processing).
If the BECs complete their job, why would there be a need for 7th year extensions?
I am not just talking about those who have already applied or those who are stuck in BEC. I am also talking about anyone who has not yet applied and are applying now or will be applying in the future.

Hi, I am in the same boat as you. Can you please provide your experience with filing the future employment I-485 and if AC21 is possible.
My question is: Can you continue to work for employer B while employer A files future employment I-485 and can we use AC-21 after 180 days without being employed with employer A?
Curious to know...

Here in Europe the biggest problem is ATMs that has been modified. The most simple modification is a simple loop inserted into the slot that tries to fool its victims into believing the machine ate their card. In addition a helpful person will appear and tell the victim that there's a secret code to be keyed in (999 + personal pin code) to make the machine spit out the card again...
Then they upped the stakes a bit. Today's con-person installs a small card reader at the ATM's slot. In addition there's a small camera (here's the relevant bit) that take pictures as people enter their code. This has been used and such equipment has even been recovered in atleast one case.
As for someone looking over your shoulder in the store, and perhaps even snapping a picture of it... Well, lets just say you don't want to leave your card out of sight. Don't assume your card is worthless plastic in someone else's hands.
We card users are basically using yesterday's (actually: last decade's/century's) technology to access our money while the countless villains out there are armed with today's technology. We're sitting ducks.
The card companies are reluctant to tell us this, but eventually as they roll out new technology (smart cards with bio-signatures) it will become blatantly apparent to everyone. Here in Norway they're scheduled to do this over the next year I think.

Rex,
1) It is better to send in an AC21 letter, when in doubt i.e, in case your employer revokes I-140., even though you have crossed 180 days threshold after filing for I-485/AOS.
2) Retain your own lawyer and change G-28 to him/her. For changing G-28 to self is done by sending in a letter to USCIS saying that you are withdrawing the representation rights (for you) of the the previous lawyer.
3) First Change address. Use AR-11 form. send it to the address shown on that form. secondly, Call the number on your I-485 and other receipts to update your new address.
The proper sequence to follow is 3, 2, 1.
Thanks,

There is NO Eb1/Eb2/Eb3 divide for our cause... the issue is unfair country based quota for highly skilled immigrants. I have many friends who are rotting in EB3 even though they qualify for EB2 (due to company policies).. one of Ivy League PhD graduates I know is rotting in EB2 (C).. so these are thin lines..
Only solution is to convince lawmakers about our genuine issues using correct, democratic, non fear-mongering ways.
Healthcare debate is a good indicator of what is coming next... fasten your seat belts and be ready!
one more thing i want to add: let's not worry about ppl using wrong ways to get this GC, they will fail in long run or get caught somewhere else. They will have to pay for this during their lifetime only. And BTW, this also includes L1 managers. Our lives is not only GC, it is much more than that. Easier said than done.. but that's how we convince ourselves.

Now my last option is to apply for AP for my wife while she is in India.
Can I apply for AP when she is in India?
I don't think so. While the form allows for someone to apply for anyone outside US, but I think that's only for emergency/temporary travel due to their inability to attend a visa interview.
