Guys,
I have been going to various blogs and where anti legal immigration ideas are posted, I try to provide a fact based rebuttal...
As a start I would request all of you to do the same...
For the gifted writers here writing articles for newspapers is a great idea...
We all should do aour part and spread the awareness...

All,
I'm trying to understand if it is a general practice of USCIS to specify an A# on the FP notice. My FP notice has an A# that starts with USCIS A# A08xxxxxxx. I wonder if this means that a visa number has been assigned to my case. If not, is it merely another case or alien number? I found the following at http://www.kkeane.com/general-faq.shtml and am not sure what the A# stands for. Also, any idea why the priority date field is empty on my FP notice?
<QUOTE>
There actually are four separate types of A#. You can tell them apart by the number of digits and the first digit. The first kind is an eight-digit A#. These are manually assigned at local offices. If you have one of these numbers, simply treated it as if it was "0" plus the number. Nine-digit A#'s that start with the digit 1 are used for employment authorization cards, usually related to students. Nine-digit A#'s that start with the digit 3 are used for fingerprint tracking of V visa applicants. All other nine-digit A#'s (these actually always start with a 0) are permanent A#'s and remain permanently with you for life.
Therefore, the rule is: if you are asked for an A# and have one, always give this A#, regardless of whether it starts with a 0, 1 or 3. If you have both a 0-A# and a 1-A# or a 3-A#, then use the one that starts with a 0.

My I-140 was approved on 5/8/2008 and my attorney received the original approval notice on 5/14/2008. The online status on uscis website was like "approved, approval notice sent" at that time. But since 5/22/2008, the onlien status changed again into:
Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
On May 22, 2008 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.
Anybody has any idea what this "New document" could be? My attorney said he has not received anything yet. Thanks in advance.

I am a dentist in state of CA,and filed for EB2 green card.In April
2006 applied for my
PERM from MD Dental, a dental group with 5 offices and about 30
employs and owned by 2
partners.Also in April 2006 they applied for my H1b visa.Further PERM and H1b
both were approved
and in may 2006 I filed for I-140 from the same company.I-140 had a
RFE but was approved
in Feb 2007.Meanwhile in Oct 2006 both partners had a misunderstanding
and they split the
company into 2 companies with one partner getting 2 offices and the
other partner getting
3 offices.Originally my perm was filed from the MD dental Van-Nuys
office, which was
given to partner A who then told me to file for a new H1b as tax ID
number for the
employer has changed but my job location would not change.I filed for
a new H1 visa from
partner A which was also approved and started to work for him till Feb
2007.In feb 2007 I
found a new job again as a dentist with a different company and moved
to that company.I
am still in good contact with both partner A and partner B of the old
company.
My question is if I could file for I485 from MD dental which is
already split with
approved I140, or I could file it from partner A or partner B`s new
company showing
either of them as succesor of interest.Also can I invoke AC21 in 6 months and move to my current employer..
Please advice.

Hello,
My PERM case was filed on mid-May and got audited on May 28.
Will it be appropriate for me to join you all for the complaint or if my case is too recent?
Thanks.

Hello all,
My I-140 (EB3) is already approved through my present company.
I am about to start the 6th year (final year) of my H1 soon. I want to change my job and apply through EB2 as EB3 has almost stopped moving.
My case is like this:
PD: 2002-Oct India/ROW
Category: EB3
H1 (6 year ends): June 2008
My questions are:
1. First and foremost - can I change my job as I am entering the 6th year of H1?
2. Since it's going to be my 6th year, will I need to reapply for labor as soon as I change my job? Is there any timeframe?
3. Will there be any issue porting the Priority Date - especially since I am planning to apply on EB2 in the next job.
Thanks,
Dan

Finally, someone who thinks long-term. That is why I had mentioned that we need to go beyond our immediate benefits and think longterm.
Also, people with Masters in Computer Science are also eligible, so for the many nay sayers, grunt IT work is not interesting to US govt., but there is still a lot of innovation going on in core Computer Science.

Thanks for bringing his true nature in to limelight and americans will realize from this. This hypocrite always boasts himself as monk and tries to fool American people with covering his inner character.
This stinky ba%^#@rd speaks loud and confuses American people a lot with out giving the clear picture of broken legal immigration and with out mentioning the pain of long waiting legal immigrants. He always mixes legal with illegals and confuses all with his border protection preachings and with out respecting business immigration.

Interesting article! It reminds me of 2001-2002 time when getting labor approved was extremely difficult. It was tough for companies to prove that there is no willing and qualified US citizen in IT field to do the job. We saw so many labors getting rejected that time. Well, it is all coming back to haunt us.

My employer asked me to send my 485 application directly to NSC instead of attorney Since there was a wide spread rumor last month( june ) end that USCIS going to accept the applications that are going reach them only on July 2nd and I did exactly the same thing. NSC received my application by July 2 at 7:30am.
I properly signed my set of applications (485,765,131,134,325a,g28) and my wife did the same with her set.
I didn't give attorney info on any of the applications except on G-28 FORM.
BUT there is no attorney signature on G-28 FORM since I filed on my own and Is going to create any problem, I mean is there any possibility that USCIS GOING to reject My application? Your help greatly appreciated.

I strongly disagree with previous comment. CA is though certification, it has course work which can be claimed as Masters degree (or advanced degree). I am a CA but even have Master degree got GC under EB2. But I know atleast one more person who is CA but without Master degree got GC under EB2. You need to get education evaluation done such a way that you qualify as done course work equivalent to Master degree. Good Luck
I am courious why you want to qualify for EB2, EB3 has later date than EB2.

Thanks for the response raysaikat... the above information is definitely very helpful for me.
As i understand from your response i will not be subject to cap again if i plan to move from company B (cap-exempt) to company C(non-cap-exempt) as i was already counted once under cap.
If you do that within 6 years from the first time you went into H1-B status (i.e., from the time your H1-B clock started ticking), then yes.
However i also want to know when i plan to move from B to C in future, Although C will file a new H1-B petition, can this petition be filed any time during the year?
If you do that within 6 years from the first time you went into H1-B status (i.e., from the time your H1-B clock started ticking), then yes -- the employer can file the petition anytime of the year.
And if approved can i start to work immediately without a gap?
Please advise.
Thanks Yes. Actually you would be able to start working as soon as the employer got acknowledgement of receipt from USCIS --- you would not have to wait for the actual approval as you were already on H1-B.

You can simply use the tuition fees deduction on the front of the 1040 return. It will reduce your adjusted gross income. I have been using it for deducting my sons tuition for three years.
Yes, but it can only reduce your taxable income upto $4000. For those who are spending larger amounts towards education in graduate studies lifetime credit in my opinion is better option.

OP says 'My Green Card gets approved today, while my wife and son's stays pending.'
His GC approved. Waiting for card. Do you read some thing else?
If he want to ask hypothetical question, he is a stupid to start a thread.
I thought the OP was making a case for getting his question answered.. that doesn't mean the case is necessarily true now.
And I think if you read further down, the op himself said he didn't get his GC yet, but his question was "what if?"...... guys read before you post ;)
