Hi I am very new to this forum and actually to all the Immigration related forums. Here is what my situation is.

I was working for a company A, got my PERM and I140 approved on EB3 and filed my I485 on with PD August 2007. I have also have the EAD and AP and am working on EAD as my H1 got voided after getting laid off from Company A on 2009. I am working with a company B with a higher salary than company A. This company didnt want to deal with USCIS and my agreement with this company does not allow me to discuss immigration matter with them. Now I got a new offer from company C with similar or slightly higher salary. Company C is ready to do my paper work.

Now I need to know what are the things that I can do.
1. Do I need to file PERM, I140 again on EB2?
2. Do I need to file for H1 again and complete the entire process?
3. What is and how to do EB3 to EB2 porting? is that all I need to do?

Please give me some advice. Thanks in advance.

What is so urgent about this post.Please change the title.

Hello Friends,

Just curious to know your opinion / experience regarding the current job opportunities in India (near DELHI / NCR) for IT guys. What realistic salary/benefits should someone expect with graduate degree (masters) from US and 8 years of working experience as Programmer Analyst/ Developer / Sr Developer in desi/vedesi mid-sized consulting companies in US? I have no clue, no rough idea, so I thought may be I should ask you guys.

Regards,

It all depends on your friend's priority date as well as her scheduled delivery date. The only problem is if her PD becomes current before the child is born or her case is approved before the birth.
To prevent all these hassles she may be advised to give birth to her child in the US unless she does not have that choice.

Well, actually she does. But they are worried that they GC might be approved and their child would be out of status- any suggestions?

According to my knowledge it has to be after the college. You cannot be fulltime employed and full time student at the same time.

So in nutshell. B.S + 5 years exp (After completing BS) and also the job must demand for BS + 5 years exp.Else you cannot file under EB2.



Thanks guys... I believe my experiences are "progressive" (whatever that means) in a sense that during 5 years of work I progressed accordignly and to the level that the job description / ad for my position would require BS plus 5 years of experience.

What I don't get and was not quite sure about was the fact that 2 of those 5 years were during college. 5 years of experience is 5 years - I don't get why they would not like it. It is normal for people to work full time and go to college full time. When you get hired, if you have 5 years of full time experience, the prospective employer could not care less that 2 years of that were gained during last 2 years of college.

Dunno ... with USCIS and their rules ...

I asked my lawyer (duahhaaaa) and he said it's ok ... but I don't trust him.

Can we go in person, I thought they would encourage only in case of emergency. Any one know that if we can go to the consulate and get the passport renewed quickly for sure.

Thanks

I am not sure, if you can go in person to houston, mine was sent to washington dc and I got it in 10 days. I had tough time for a different case.

Try to avoid Houston, you will not get any response or anyhelp, I guess they are sleeping for ever.

this info is incorrect. from a murthy chat transcript...... available at :

http://www.murthy.com/chatlogs/ch102306_P.html

Chat User : I have used 6 years of my H1B and have got extension for 3 more years. Can I change employers based on a 7th-year approval? Is it legal to do so? Thank you very much for advice.

Attorney Murthy : After one has an I-140 petition approved in her/his name, s/he is allowed to file for a new 3-year H1B extension with a new or different employer based on the I-140 petition approval with another employer. Then, during the 3-year H1B timeframe, the person could potentially start a new PERM/LC process with the new employer and, thereafter, rely on the new filing for future H1B extensions, in case the earlier employer cancels or revokes the earlier LC or I-140 petition.
hmm..its a news for me.thks for correcting me.

thanks gconmymind!

IV leadership indulge us here for a min...
if we were to be able to raise $1million somehow..
How much would you say it improves our chances of getting the IV missions accomplished?

If there can be some certainty & improvement of possibilities, i have feeling .. people will step forward.





You have noble intentions and I salute your spirit but it does not make practical sense to try and raise $1M when on the other thread, we have not even touched $15K!! At least, this will not happen with a donations only campaign. If a corporate were to sponsor, thats a different thing..

Again, I think all (ok, most!) the members would donate $2000 if there was assurance/certainty of positive outcome. A lot of people are sitting on the sidelines, hoping for a positive outcome, without contributing time and/or money.

People, please contribute time and money towards IV to help yourselves!

Done!!!

but employer keeps the LC and I-140. If I move to new employer
what is the proof that my I-140 was approved.

Thanks

thanks akred !

would you happen to know the approx cost for $1000 ?

or do they have this on thier website or so, I will try to search....


=========

(I just checked thier fee is nil, after looking at thier exchange rate they see to be much better than ICICI)
Thanks Again !
and more over a national bank,,, feel good when I think of using SBI instead of ICICI

now have to check if I can transfer money to my icici account using this serivce from SBI.

is this what you are asking for?

This one looks like is pre Sep 2009 Approvals, we are looking for the updated one which should show very few numbers for EB2 - I, 2003 and 2004.

Keep a copy of your paystub at your work place
PS: Official comes from DHS to your office not your home

Moreover how hard it is to keep a copy of your paystub at your desk

Its not a matter of piece of paper. What's the guarntee that they make not start asking
W2's, exp letters, passport copy, approval letter's etc.

Do not worry about RFE on AP. I was and am in the same situation (NSC->CSC->TSC) . ND was Sep 19; got my EAD; RFE on AP (for me & flmy) & no FP. RFE was asking to submit all copies of I-94's ever issued to be, proof of relationship (birth , marriage cert). Yest , on the website saw that our AP was approved :D.

For the FP notice, called them & managed to speak with an IO. She advised me to wait for 60 dyas after the 485 ND.

How did you respond to your RFE?.. Did you have copies of all of your I -94 ?.. Please let me know...

If you use your EAD, your wife will need to maintain her own status like L1, H1, F1, etc. There is no dependent status on EAD (like H4 for H1).

too farfetched? should we pursue it? a 10 year wait at the least given the current quota restrictions..

What if your old employer cancels your I-140? In that case wouldn't it be better to have informed USCIS that you changed jobs?

After 180 days if employer cancels I 140 it does not matter......:)

what if my I-485 is July 20, 2007 (it is processing), how long will it take before they can send my GC to me?


First make sure your (EB) PD is Current and then think about July20,2007 thing,....

Hello,

wanted to know, what happens to employees of Vision Systems Group and its sister company's employees immigration status. as every one know VSGINC has allegations from USCIS on immigration fraud and H-1B.

Employees like me no where related to there fraud. how USCIS reacts on employees pending 485?. Most of the employees are moved out using AC21.

If someone completes their residency in US and gets a license to practice medicine, will this MD degree be valid in Canada and Australia?
My wife is doing her residency and due to this retrogression we want to have a plan B, and for plan B we want to know if it is worth moving to Canada or Australia after she completes her Residency? While I am in IT, I think the job scene is almost same everywhere which is based on experience.

I am sure a lot of IV members are physicians and would be looking into these options also. Please share your thoughts.

Try in any universities for a job or even in schools .I am sure you will come across an ample of opportunities. Pay may not be attractive nevertheless, will you keep to afloat .

And next option would be (if have your GRE Valid), apply in some small schools for a similar but different program now and take admission in Jan 08. Search for small schools only.

Hope this would help . Try first option , bet u will find soon.
