I came to US in 1996 as a student and graduated in 1999. Since then I have switched jobs and I am currently with a Priority date of oct, 2006(EB2). Even within this employer first they filed under EB3 even though it could have been filed under EB2 (Not becasue they are bad - becasue the employer don't know much about immigration). After I requested the employer, they filed a new labor on Oct, 2006. So if the priority date is based on the years of experience, it will be nice for me. But the main issue that all of us are facing is VISA availabilty. If this can be taken care, all of the issues will be taken care
Overall the current immigration system is screwed-up. It really needs a major change. That is the main problem
Thanks

having been in the US since 2001, losing out my LC/PD to the dot-com bust and finally ending up with a PD of 2006, I second that. PD should be based on number of years of experience or years of stay in the US or amount of taxes paid till now or something like that.
In any case what we WANT is very different from what we usually get from this immigration system and there are bigger more important battles for IV to fight. Look, if there is no retrogression PD almost does not matter!! THATS the right fix. END RETROGRESSION!

I was thinking I was all alone until my friend sent me the link to this forum to find out that there are so many others in a situation like me. Employer not filing I485 because of so many stupid excuses. Emails/Voicemails go in vaccum these days.

Setting up company is just the first step for Self-Employment. The key things is to demonstrate that new job is in same/similar classification and company has offered "bonafide" job, not just job on paper.
BTW, it is not necessary to have LLC. The corporate structure could be S-Corp or C-Corp also.

In this enforcement climate, self-employment is risky too. The memo is not a binding rule. Having said that, even if any one chose to self employment, they must have very proper documents including long-term contract agreement with few clients, that explanis the service you provide shold be in-line with orginal I-140 job duties. In current H1B denial rate becuse of client letters RFE, the self employed AC21 cases shold be more prepared, in case of RFE.

so venkat, i have a qn for you? only people who studied here, got opt and h1 are the brainy people huh? In your opinion offshore people working here on H1b is cheap ass? Could you please enlighten everyone here as to how come you came to this conclusion?
Folks please stop bickering...As someone said everyone is here to find a better life and enjoy the same...everyone has the talent..in one field or the other...and it's not that folks who have Master's from US are the only SMART people..!!!
So, let's try to find a solution to nehas issue...I know so many people are looking for the same solution in this Economical Recession time...may be Nehas is on H1b but many are here on their final stages of GC and getting laid off....so, no one knows their fate until it happens..!!!
And as far as I know...nehas status is illegal now...meaning one cannot stay on H1b without getting paid...and nehas should know that it would be hard for you to go for permanent residency in the future..!! So, nehas the best solution would be try to find a job ASAP or change status back to H4...!!! well going, to h4 is just your choice...and note that no one is forcing you to do so..but be reminded that you will have trouble going forward in the future for your GC...

We will each individually send flowers to Emilio Gonzalez to be delivered July 10th. There is a suggestion to use a paypal account where we contribute money. However no one has come forward to take over the account so far.
The theme of the note attached to the flowers should be Sympathy or Get well.
Preferred Message(Sympathy): All the best for future Employment Based visa estimates
I do like the "Get Well: Hope USCIS recovers from its insanity" message as well
July 07th - Last day to mail flowers (I doubt if they can deliver on Tuesday if we order on Monday)
July 08th - Draft the letter to be mailed to media.
July 09th - Finalize the letter and mass mail it to every media email addresses we have.
July 10th - hope the media take the bait!

Been in the US since 1998, have an EB-2 PD of 2001, have played by the rules all along. Still no GC... And, the dates are going back to 2000 from the new year.. I've lost hopes...
I'm pretty close to getting clinical depression because of this game played by USCIS, Labor Dept, FBI and my own bad luck.
SKILL bill, OMNIBUS, etc. comes and goes. IV does seem to be doing things to lobby for the community, but let's face one reality. Like a news article said, no one in congress or senate wants to touch immigration even with a long pole until 2009.
The US has been very good to me (other than the GC part), more than my home country (India) which is why I'm still here.
Have invested too much of time in this country to just pack up and go. Just curious if any of you feel this way? How do you handle such depressing feelings?
The situation is depressing but I don't intent to accept it laying back. I want to fight it. Years from now looking back I will be happy that I did what I could to fight it.
IV gives me the framework to fight effectively.

<Rant>There is not mistake, i always feel that there is some @#$hole at the USCIS or state dept whose only goal in life is to get a sadistic kick by toying with the dates. How can these @#$@#@'s not realize that there is a person behind each visa number </Rant>
Like my title says - Could it be a mistake on their part for EB3 I ? Was it meant to be 15th April 2002 ?
In March of This year it was 15th Oct 2001. Then it goes to U for untli Oct and now its 15th April 2001 (gone back 6 months !!!!) This seems odd for a new fiscal year with new Visa Quota however small EB3I may be - are there still that many 2000-2001 applications pre-adjudicated in the system waiting for a visa that they had to roll it back ?

It's definetly a shock and an usual post on these forums. I am spellbound by the support you are getting from the forum members. I am seeing the humanitarian attitude all around praying for your health. This should bring change about the way you think about your health. You are fighting against an enemy- the prognosis you got from the doctors. The only option left for you is winning against the enemy no matter what it takes. The foremost thought you should inculcate is that you are winning against the enemy. That's it. I believe the will power will definetly take you out of the fatal disease.
I know it is hard but try concentrating more on your health than other things including your family members. Hopefully generous IV members will do something for your family which probably can be done in our limits. Whereas it is you who has to fight against the disease and so you got to take care of your health first.
My best wishes are with you.

Hello arnet,
That is an excellent idea. We are already working closely with USINPAC. Here is some of info about this.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=576
USINPAC has been very helpful and has played a key role in guiding and helping us. We should all be Thankful to USINPAC for significant help that they have provided us.
AAPI is another group that has been instrumental in getting our provisions in the bill.
We have received positive results from many other groups. But no other group has been able to help us as USINPAC and AAPI.
If anybody has any such suggestion or could provide a lead to any other organization or personality, please let us know. This would help us all.

As per law one should have intent to work full-time for the employer (or AC-21 employer) at the time of approval. There is no time period specified.
The intent, of course, can change after some time. Lawyers differs on the duration. Some argue it is 90 days, whereas others suggest 180 days or 1 year.
Not a legal advice.

My I-485 application based on I-140 of NIW has been approved finally, after an RFE replying. Is there any requirement of how long I can change job after the I-485 approval?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A:
According to USCIS previous requirement, a person is required to work for the sponsoring employer for at least one year after obtaining the Green Card. There may be a problem when you want to apply for U.S. citizenship later, if you leave the sponsoring employer in a short period of time after obtaining the Green Card.
The AC-21 rule does not clear the issue of a person who leaves its employer after the I-485 approval, but it is better to take a conservative way to reduce the potential risk later.

yeah.. even ND is not being followed... and why give a PD when they have to follow ND anyways ? So wait for 5 years in queue and then due to USCIS lottery system my application gets assigned a later ND... i have to suffer ??? WOW ... that's nice.... that's what's called INJUSTICE...
Totally agree with you. Its so unfair for people who are waiting for a loooooog time. And suddenly find themselves as being left out.
We came to know only few of the once who have posted in other forums that they got GC with PD as fresh as Jan2007, and they posted it in the forum because they were afraid if their GCs would ever be reverted....
So, I think there are probably a lot more out there who might have got the GC and are keeping it quite, so that they don't stir up the folks who are waiting so patiently (which of course is weaning thin by the day!!).
Totally unfair, unjustified.
Maybe we should..........
1) Send letters to USCIS, highlighting the plight of those waiting patiently and folks who joined recently got the GC. Send anonymous letters if you fear of being put under the scanner.
2) All the IT folks who are here in the US are probably in the higher 10% bracket. Maybe we all should collectively hire a lobby group in Washington. That's the only solution, it works well.
Thats all I can think of right now....

Supreet:
...... As I've noted below, the job need *not* be "permanent," unlike what others have mentioned on this forum. The EVL needs to only mention your job title, duties, and start date, not salary. You do *not* need to provide ant paystubs. ......
Supreet -
I strongly dispute that. I encourage you to consult an attorney before taking any action.
AC-21 job must be "permanent and full-time" just like I-140. Simple. Infact, please put your question in attorney forum and get it confirmed right there.

A question about CIR. Currently isin't it more beneficial for anti-immigrants to just ensure that absolutely NOTHING is done to CIR? That way the Senate version of CIR never sees the light of day, but since it doesnt die either, no other legislation can come into place.
I guess my question is, how & when exactly does CIR "die"/get phased out of the picture so that other legislations may be considered?
