What is donor forum. How to access that?

Consulting company doing it for a cost? Sorry, I did not understand. Why do we need consulting company? What costs?

Any legitimate company should be able to port the PD from an approved I-140 as long as it is allowed.

The plan is to continue working for my current company. I want to use some consulting firm, to file my labor and the whole 9 yards using my current priority date. I dont want to join them. I dont think they will do it for free, if I dont plan on working for them?

Thank you for response.

I checked with attorney and I believe that is true, PP for H1b is not carried over on RFE reply. Response to RFE will go in a regular queue for evaluation. But, I hope this is not the case.

Yes, I read in forums RFE's and 221g both have become more regular these days.

I'll let the forum know outcome of this case. Thank you for visiting this thread!

Yeah. Mention the company's name that filed GC for you/wife. I did the same for my wife. During the interview we both were asked about whether employer had filed for our GC and we said yes. We got the visa, no issues whatsoever.

Hi,

I have a pretty simple question.

A person decides to change employers, moving from company A to company B. It's been 180 days after 485 filing.

Question: what does company B have to do to legally take this person on as full time employee? Is the process any different than taking any other american resident employee? The way I understand is it is not any different.

Please advise,
Thanks,
Vlad

Serious immigration legislation is in the air. Rep Shuler's (D-
NC) enforcement-only bill has attracted a fair number of supporters, and the rumor is that the House Republicans will try to force through a discharge petition necessitating a vote on the bill. While we are skeptical that a discharge petition has much chance of success, the House Democratic leadership is apparently not so sanguine (for info on discharge petitions, see here).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/discharge_petition
The House Hispanic Caucus has prepared a plan to meet the antis head on if they force a vote on the Shuler Bill.

The plan begins with the proposition that any serious discussion of immigration on the Hill will definitely harm Republican presidential nominee McCain. If he supports the "pros", the anti immigration fanatics in the Republican party will not support him in the general election; if he supports the "antis", it will weaken his appeal to the independents for the general election.
Second, should a vote on the Shuler bill come about, the House Hispanic caucus would seek to attach numerous benefit amendments to it - there is every likelihood that some of these amendments will succeed, a raising of the H cap, for example. Hopefully, so the thinking among the strategists among the House Democrats goes, the success of a few amendments will be a "poison-pill"
guaranteeing the defeat of the over-all measure since the antis are not in a mood to make any deal trading enforcement with benefits at this time. Ironically, the antis in the House may be forced to vote against the amended Shuler bill, thus positioning the Democrats as the real pro-enforcement party.

Our take is that once started down the Hill (pun intended), the momentum of an immigration bill would be hard to stop, and we might end up with something along the lines of the Kennedy-Kyl compromise of last spring, but without the point system which doomed it. To the surprise of many, Comprehensive Immigration Reform appears far from dead. And once again, it's the antis who deserve the credit for bringing benefits to the fore.

Why is beautiful_mind in all reds?

I don't think there is any site in this world which can give US visa status after the interview.

Interviews are conducted by govt officials and not just other websites, but the consulate offices are also not maintaining any sites to track the status. I am 99% confident about this.;)

There's no requirement for a person to be present in US while PERM or I-140 is getting processed.

During the AOS stage, a person may opt for Consular Processing or I-485. The former doesn’t require any presence in US whereas the latter does.

Thanks a lot guys !
It was a long journey and I wish the same result to everyone else waiting.

I got my I-140 (EB3) approved with the priority date of November-2004.

I applied another Labor (EB2) in Feb 2007. When applygin for I-140 for this labor, my lawyer forgot to use the approved I-140 for getting the old priority date (Nov 2004 priority). So, I got the I-140 approval for EB2 case with Feb 2007 Priority date.

Now, can the lawyer change the priority date on the I-140 (EB2) to Nov 2004 using the previous I-140.

Thank you, Krishnam70. I will get an attorney's assistance. If anyone knows a successful case, please let me know. Thanks!

ANSWER:
Your lawyer is partly right. You can either petition once you are a citizen, or you can petition for a "hardship waiver" once you become a LPR(ie when you get a GC).

Not sure if you have visibility into when you may likely be getting your GC, but don't risk fudging the truth on the documents. You might get into more trouble than you already are. Remember that on a temp. visa like the H1, your rights are pretty much limited.

In my opinion, if you really want to stay in the US for the long term, you may be better off separated (unless the law changes), or move to another country. Note that there will be several hardships you may encounter..for example, simple things like opening a bank account, buying a home , renewing a driver's license, etc.,

I know this sounds harsh, but thats how it is. Purely my opinion.......





QUESTION:


He is an undocumented immigrant in the U.S. for more than 10 years. So my lawyer told me that I could only help him to get greencard when I become a citizen. So I have the following questions :

When I do my first time H1B visa renewal, will my new Marriage status disturb me to get the H1B renewal? should I just simply fill in the form saying I am "SINGLE" and not tell the consulate? Will the consulate know?

It is awesome :)

I've been sending it throug!

Hope you'ved recieved it

Hi,

I have my Employment based 485 Pending since Aug'2007 (EB-2, priority June'2006, India) and I am currently using EAD for my employment. I am married to a US citizen and have 130 approved on Dec'2008. I want to know what would be my next step.

Can I interfile the pending 485 with the approved 130? or Do I need to file a new 485 and withdraw the pending employment based 485 once I got the new EAD. or Do I need to go for counselor processing?

Please share your experience on this. Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Folks:

Is there a time limit for one to travel on Advance Parole. I was told that if a person travels abroad and intends to enter using AP, the maximum time allowed is 6 weeks, is this true?

Thanks
My son "traveled" on AP for almost 6 months.

That's a nice idea :-) Love it.

Once you take appointment you can call the same consulate and sned required documents and get PIMS verified.

<<bump>>

I have seen many people on this forum that haven't notified USCIS but changed jobs.

Hi,

I have an EAD (over a year now since I-140 approved), but never used it. Now, that Iam planning to switch my employer I have some questions about using EAD

1. Is it Mandatory to file AC21?

2. Is AC21 required for each contract switch ? (Suppose Contract is W2), if so, wouldnt that be hard and expensive to file for every 3 or 6 months projects?

3. Can I work on 1099?

Thanks in Advance.
