I was on I-485 status on my EB3 application working on EAD. My I140 for Eb2 application got approved today while also requesting porting of priority date.
I believe USCIS would have automatically switched the 485 application to use the new EB2 I-140 instead of old EB3-I140
Now my question I am ready to renew my EAD. I wanted if there will be any problem with my EAD application since it is now transfered to an Eb2 position.
My pririty date is still not current....
EAD is based on a pending I-485, you should go ahead to renew your EAD (as you work in EAD, do not let it expire). Consult a lawyer, send additional documentation along with the package that you have done so-and-so transfer.

Not sure about the Mexico consulate, but you will most probably face problems if you go to Chennai consulate.In case if you decided to take chance and go to Mexico, make sure that you have valid F1 visa to come back to USA. Otherwise you have to stay in Mexico :-)
If I am in your position, i will not this type of chances.
how can you come on F1 back, when your status is changed to H1 as you have to show valid I-20 for F1 which you don't have or you have enrolled in any school for MS, MBA or..... as you changed from F1 to H1 you anyway need stamping.
Please correct me if I am wrong

Looks like the senator's office replied without going through the message properly. Just a political ploy for blindsiding the issue by bringing irrelavent topic into discussion. The message was about S.A 4319, the Senator talked about S.887

Hello all:
I have few questions related to my travel plans to India. We will be leaving in January 2009.
We have our Advance Parole and EAD approved till 2009. I-485 is still pending . EB3 India.
My H1B visa stamp is not current or up-to-date on my passport. We have booked our flights with North-west airlines and KLM which will depart from Detroit-Amsterdam-Mumbai. I have few questions pertaining to my travel.
1) Would I still need to get a transit visa for Amsterdam, even though our flight will be halting for few may be 3-4 hours at Amsterdam- Schiphol Airport? If I do have to arrange for Amsterdam transit-visa, then where should I start as far as documentation is concerned.
2) Besides carrying my Passport, Advance parole copies with me, please advise me if I need to carry any more documentation from my end.
3) Would I need a copy of employment letter for visa purpose, or carrying my recent pay-stubs would be fine?
I would appreciate if you could please guide me with the travel related visa -requirements and documentation. Thanks!

my honest opinion on transit visa issues- the best way is to do a quick check on Netherlands website.......rather than only rely on answers on a public forum

After giving the call for the meeting only one member responded and met me. If there is no active interest by members how can we all get things done. We need every member to participate in the effort. Together we can do it!!

My thoughts exactly! Here is a thread I opened on the subject a couple of weeks ago:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=600
The idea makes such good economic sense (the government would be price discriminating to increase its revenue) that if USCIS were a private entity they would have implemented something like this a long time ago. But unfortunately it is not and we have to suffer under a "one size fits all" system.

So, did you follow up later...to see what happened on your case or are you just waiting. My lawyer says that the timelines are just like that.
I am in the same boat and my case was filed on apr 3 and mine is eb3 nebraska.
even my employer opened a service request.

As soon as you use EAD you will lose h1b for sure.......Moonlighting is something you would want to explore but the way USCIS explains it and define it.......it might be a big risk to take by using EAD but this is just me........

Look is good. But, for me I liked the old one. May be it would take some time for me to get used to new look. Site seems to be slow though.
Best thing was the candidate history infront of his name.
Anyway, good job done Admins. Best of luck.

If Birth Certificate issue by Indian consulate then it should be ok, as it is from consulate
No, the birth certificate (issued by Indian Consulate) is not acceptable as this is based on the entry made in passport, not on the basis of registered date of birth.
You need birth certificate issued by municipality of the district. If it is not in English, then it has to be translated in English and notorized for true translation.
Good Luck.

Not attacking you, but you will acknowledge that not every IV member shares his every trick on this forum - what have you shared?
I share what I know and relevant to the thread :D.

The cost varies, depending on the attorney fees and what advertising is done. Generally, it would probably cost $6000 - $12,000 for PERM. The employer must pay this, you cannot pay any of it.

This is from the immigrationportal. To report fraud/abuse/Government-contractor waste, use link http://judiciary.house.gov/reportfraud.aspx
I wrote to Congrass saying that Exceed Corporation must be made accountable to process backlogged applications within agreed time frame and cost and requested an oversight hearing on processing of backlogged labor certifications. I also gave my forecast that they are going to miss the congress mandate of two years.
Please flood Congress with your concerns and expose Exceed Corporation.

I was also taken aback initially when I read this. The 8 year wait doesnt apply to title 5. Title 5 already is designed to clear the backlog of EB immigration from 6 years to 0/at best minimum since quota is increased and there are exemptions. The 8 year backlog refers to family based.
Thnx agan!!

u got ur response from wandmaker..so long, we WON'T miss you.
I joined this forum a while back since it seems like a good place to exchange experience with people in the same boat as us. I got repulsed with IV very fast, and this person above very effectively presents the reason why.
There are just too many smug mother&*#$# like the eb3retro guy above, who chase the newcomers with their gloomy personality right out of IV. Though the situation we are facing is very bleak and gloomy, but why does so many of IVers around here wear it on their sleeves. All garfield asked was a valid question and more like advise and in jumped eb3retro with a lecture on his profile with a tinge of sarcasm to vent his weeklong frustration.
With a movement like IV is trying to be, how is it ever going to be sussessful if there are unwelcoming smug people like eb3retro,. They contribute $20 and then they feel they own the joint, and have to find and boss around someone who doesn't dot their i's and cross their t's to feel better about themselves.
In the vein of openness that the eb3retro is asking garfield to post his details, let's take this a step further and post the picture and names also alongwith other details, to put a smug face with smug messages.
Peace out.

Yes. Its simple math. But if it was 10K visas a year, then why did they have to jump forward by more than 2 yrs? Nobody knows how USCIS works internally. The math that v have and the one that they have differ a lot and unexpected things (for good or bad) happen all the time.
in 1999-2000 ISNAmerica group was formed by immigrants affected by backlogs...it dissipated with the AC21 rule being passed...I hope and pray that immigrationvoice does not go away like that... We need a permanent entity to fight not just the unjust laws of the land but also anti immi groups - who want to close the door behind them.

There was no provision for validating visas in the US, at least not in our Brownback amendment. I am not aware of that being a rider on any other amendment -- but I wouldnt' rule it out
We will have to do a post-final-bill-with-amendments analysis.
Please hold on till that becomes available.
Thanks,
Berkeleybee
It was in Cornyn ammendment.

NO. It shouldn't create an issue. The key is to "have the guarantee of a same or similar position available for you on permanent basis" at the time of RFE. How many jobs you changed before that is not of a concern.
But t is very important that you act quickly. When you deal with a big employer, the bureaucratic delays can kill weeks quickly, and you will find getting late for your RFE reply.
Contact the employer with "permanent offer" and let them know of the urgency, get in touch with their lawyer, and get the letter framed ASAP. You dont even have to start working with them before sending the letter.
The other option is to get the "employment verification" from your current consulting employer. The only advantage I see here is "probably" time.
Is it not risky to move when your RFE response is pending? I worked for just 2 employers for 9 yrs between 2000 -- 2009
then since March I have so far been with 2 employers and now 3rd PERM offer.. I am concerned if that can create issues..
