Currently there is no way you can substitute a labor certification. Your post saying "Now the consulting firm is saying that they have substituted a labor for him" could you be more specific what "Substitution" means in this context?

I am forewarning not to get cheated!

Thanks

Thanks for your response. Good to hear that I can file while I am outside the US.
Meanwhile, I was wondering if it expires due to (assume) my neglect... does that create issues or can I apply at a later date... this is just in case I forget !! Sorry !!

has there been any update from fragemon

if you want to pay $100, it is easy. lesser amount is very difficult. I went through pain of using my banks online bill pay. It took me an hour to set it up. And couple of days back I received an email saying the bill has been returned - probably because it is more than 90 days!

I lost valuable time , IV lost some donation.

I am not sure why paying less than $100 has been made so difficult.

Could you please clarify:
- what's the logic for not applying for 485 (when 140 is pending)? how can that save you any money?
- did you mean premium processing 140?

It saves you money because a I140 denial will result in 485 denial. You save the filing fee of 485.

I guess N +1 syndrome :-)
And you know this how?:confused:

Hi,
i would like to convert EB3- pd to Eb2.
My sistuation is like this . pls help mw if you know if this is possible:

1.With My current employer :I have EB2- labor approved and i-140 also approved with PD of sep 2005.
2. My current employer has Eb-3 approved labor with PD of june 2003 of some other employee and can be substituted for me and get I-140 approval.

Now question is : Is it possible to port PD of the Eb-3 approved labor substituion and after i-140 approval of substituted labor to my EB-2 labor.

If it is possible how exactly PD is convertible..means will the attorney need to mention to use PD of EB-3 at the time of applying I-485.

When exactly can apply for PD conversion..at the time of applying i-485 or i-140 ..

If somebody clarify me that is great .

Thanks

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for your replies. I called a couple of lawyer offices and this is the response i got.

For the candidate to switch jobs here are the rules:

1) The labour in the new company should be filed 365 days BEFORE the end of the second H1B.
AND
2) To keep getting 3 year extentions, your I-140 in the First company should be approved
AND
3) The First company should NOT revoke your existing Green Card application.

Could you please provide your input on this . Thank You.
Port 2003 PD at the time of filing 2nd I-140, keep copies of old labor + 140 and new approved labor and a cover letter should specify that the beneficiary for both is the same ie YOU and you are not doing labor subsititution. I have been successful porting my pd from 03- the only difference was that my job classification was the same and salary for 2nd job was more

You should also consider the GC factor. If your L employer is willing to sponsor a GC, then that is terrific.

You can come into the US in Jan 2008 on L-1A, apply for your 140/485 in Feb 2008 (labor is not required for EB1 and the PDs are current) and you should have your GC by Jan 2009.

On the other hand, if you come here on a H visa, you may not have a GC even during 2019!

Weigh your options and plan accordingly.

Sure. Tell me exactly day and time. I will make sure I am miles away from that. I just don't want to be identified with the "amnesty bill" since that is getting increasingly unpopular these days.

Yes, once "They" identify "You" the consequences can be severe.:rolleyes:
Beware! Big Brother is watching.

That is the reason I didn't support the US soccer team at World Cup.
US team is so unpopular in Europe :p Given a choice between popularity and doing the right thing, I guess popularity always wins :D

Hilarious! Couldn't resist :o

No dissing the Pixel Stretch, ya'll betta recognize, my Splash would look even cr@pier without the pixel stretch!

Not sure what happens technically to the old CIR, but most likely both the senate and house will throw away their respective bills and start from scratch.

I have a hypethetical situation

1. Say in the election Dems get both house and Senate AND
2. No compromise happens in CIR at Lame Duck Session too. Also
no SKILL passes too AND

3. New winners Sworn in and its congress controlled by Dems.

Now what is the status of the CIR that was passed in the senate and
that house bill passed? Does it expire or go annul? Or can these
new members come a compromise on that? What could be the attittude of the congress member towards it? It would be really interesting to know the
legal sides and political attittude of lawmakers to it.

thanks

The problem is I only have single entry visa to Canada. So if I go out I cannot come back without visitors visa to canada.

I am scared about that as well.

So, if the consulate decides to issue me the visa, can I get it stamped in India?

Your reply is much appreciated.

Hi
Congrats on ur GC . can you tell us what was ur wife's EB2 priority Dt.

Thanks

In that case we ourselves can keep a counter how many IV members did file 485 in June 07. It might give us a rough idea.
New filings will not effect to move the dates either you file on 1st or 30th. The Visa(GC) numbers will be deducted only after the approval of I-485. Any of these new filings will not be touched(Approved) for 4-5 months. USCIS has to consume the balance visas(GCs) before October 1st 2007.

If The Number of Visas > The number of Approved + To be approved(Mostly filed at least 4-5 months before) in the coming months.....then you can expect further movement from the State Department..

Ask(Pray) the USCIS(God) not to approve any 485's till June 15th....

So...there will not be any change in the movement of dates even all of them file on the day 1....Keep watching the approvals till June 10th atleast...

If he is willing to co-operate, she can file. If she file without his permission, he can cancel her petition any time before adjudication. The petition have the validity until the divorce. If he is not supporting with her GC, nothing can be done. She will loose her H4 status also. She need to find some other way to be in staus like, Student visa, her own H1B, marry a citizen, H1B.
Hi all,
One of my friend is separated (not divorced) from her husband.
can she file 485 by herself. Does she needs anything latest doc from her husband. She does have all the copies of his documents.
She is thinking she can work if she gets EAD. She does not have anybody here are back home except her mom. Please suggest a solution

Well if the Republicans want those hispanic votes why dont they
pass the CIR right away? Why they have to wait until the mid term?

oh yaa, they will be losing all the red-neck neo-cons vote ;) right away, in my view everybody includeing Dems are just test water and see how people in their consitutancy are feeling about immigration subject and results show many americans are against CIR in principal (thanks to Lou and co campain).

It will be really bad if Reps wins the house again, they can really push their neo-con agenda and CIR will be history very soon.

so It is really important for us to have Dems wining this election :D

Screw Murthy !!! I have never seen him picking up any good news.

Murthy is a she...and I would but I'm not single. ;)

How long does it take to get EAD card by post after Finger printing is done?

I don't think both are related. Folks are getting EADs along with FP notices or receipts at TSC. Its just that NSC is slooow.
