Hello everyone -
I am planning to change my job and would like to seek some advice. I already used AC21 once without informing USCIS, and now would like to do it again. I would like to seek advice on couple of issues:
1. I would like to do this without informing USCIS and worry about a response if and and when I get RFE. However, new employer has E-Verify system. Would them checking my eligibility to work through E-verify make it certain that I would get an RFE for employment verification?? In other words, E-Verify tells USCIS that one has changed employment? or E-verify and 485 have no connection?
2. My new job is in the same engineering field; however, there is still a big difference in salary owing to additional managerial duties. Labor was done based on technical responsibilities in engineering field, new job involved technical as well as business responsibilities in the same field. With years going by, I am taking on more and more project/division management experience and that is what the new position would entail.
Original title - Transportation Analyst/Engineer with 55K as salary
New Title - Director of Transportation Systems and Services Engineering with 135K as salary
Based on my research, the job needs to be in the same occupational classification. The original SOC code is 17-2051 - Civil Engineer. The new SOC could be same 17-2051 or could be classified as 11-9140 Architectural and Engineering Managers owing to managerial duties. However, the new job also has technical aspect to it since I will be responsible for sound technical design for the product/services we will prepare.
Can you guys please give your thoughs on these two issues. Thank you in advance for your time and help.
best,

I understand that the chance is slim.... almost microscopic :rolleyes: But I need to prepare for the worst case (or is it the best...?? :confused:) hence the question.
Any idea about how long consular processing takes and does it depend on priority dates (in the case of a further retrogression)?
Thanks for the input, will keep a close watch on the visa bulletin and keep my wife's return trip options open.
Thanks again.

even corporate lawyers dont charge more than 750/1000 for individual cases so 2000 is ridiculously high. I would hire a lawyer if only to have a centralized database of my documents in case the govt comes poking around & have them respond ina timely fashion in the legalese thats designed to make no frickin sense to the general public-aliensincluded, but somehow makes the uscis officials climax i guess - btw, there a (confidential?) thread to disclose how much firms are charging

Thanks Saralayar! A lot of members helped to make this change. Ideas and effort from a large number of members were pooled in. Special Thanks to coopheal for working on the wiki. That was awesome work.
Hi! Ennada,
We tested again and the Reputation button is working fine. We have disabled the reputation messages. Please let us know what is not working with the reputation button and we will fix it.

heh..heh.. i guess you're wrong :cool:
my LC haven't came out from BEC mess, PD Feb 2005 - Non RIR/TR (ROW)
just wanna know about this whole green card cap thing
so i can prepare myself mentally how long i have to wait for GC :o
No one knows how long. My guess (I am PD mARCH 2004 ROW) is:
In October ROW EB3 (?) you may be able to apply for I-485 & I-140, BUT you are now in line behind 100,000 ? 50,000 ? 500,000? applicants.
Hopefully this won't happen, but you need to be prepaird for a 1 - 3 year wait. These hundreds of thousands of applicaitons in for I-485 will now back-up that system
Again - hopefully I am wrong. I have been here since March 2001 and am 1 - 3 years away I think.

1. My EAD is up for renewal and will there be any problems renewing it If either I am with a new employer or in between jobs when the application is being submitted?
-- No.
2. My current employer will hand me my I-140. Can I restart my GC process with my new employer and still maintain my old PD of July 2003?
-- You do not have to restart anything if it has been 180 days since 485 filing and I assume it is the case as you have an EAD since last year.
3. If I restart my GC process, do I have to start my Labor and I-140 as well or do I just re-file my 485?
-- You are fine as you are. There is need to restart anything. The provision is called AC21 and you can google it for more info.
This is really great information. I couldn't find this thread so opened another thread ofcourse cleared the doubts by both guru's. I have one more question, what happens if job title changes during this process.
Thanks
-- No.

I would like to know what is the risk if someone filed I-485...is it because he has two labor and I-140 or generic. I couldnt understand your point...?
US consulates in India don't follow a logic. They dont like someone applying for a non immigrant visa once 485 is filed and pending.

My lawyer filed my Labor certification stating that the job requires 'BS degree in CS'. My labor got approved last month.
I hold a MS degree in CS and BS degree in Industrial Engg.
Now while I am about to file for I-140, I am getting information from various sources that my bachelor's degree has to be in CS, irrespective of holding a master's degree in CS.
Has anyone faced similar situation? How can I resolve this issue?
Please help as I almost spent 4 years in LC backlog queue!!!!!!!!
I guess you filed EB3. I was in same situation with BS and MS in Industrial engineering. my I-140 got approved a year ago without any problem. I am waiting for visa number ROW Oct2003. What is your PD?

The above is right. But make sure its applied all over the application. If not the application will be returned to you. Use the above argument in the front and then attach both the I-140s and then mark on the I-140 which is original one and which ones priority date is being used.
Do this for every applicant. Get it done via an attorney who has done this before. Most of them dont even have a clue how to do it.
It can be done at I-485 stage.
Thank you all for your response. As per him ( my attorney) - you apply for I-485 with the new I-140. Provide reference to earlier PD as reason for your application. He provided the following text from the USCIS's I-140/I-485 adjudication document.
If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example:
Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification
ANYBODY HAS A DOCUMENT COUNTERING IT ( STATING IT CAN NOT BE DONE AT I-485 OR IT MUST BE DONE AT I-140). PLEASE PROVIDE LINKS OR REFERENCES. SORRY FOR THE URGENCY.

It appears to me that we should file all I-485 applications in July. Even if the advantage is illusory or marginal, it may be a good idea to file. If your application is ready to go, it should be filed. Regards. Rajiv.

I wonder with so many layoffs in US, how much support will H-1B quota increase lobbying group get from the congress?
I think H-1B quote increase issue might be on back-burner for now and most likely they will concentrate on getting comprehensive immigration reform bill passed by middle of next year.

It takes courage to stand with fliers in your hand in the middle of a crowd, trying to hand out to people and in return get a look from them as if they are saying we are not buying whatever you are selling.
But three of our members had courage to face that looks and ignore the humiliation of being ignored by most people. These people are Raj , Murali and Kumar.
In spite of several people residing in tri state area , only four (including myself) volunteers showed up to distribute fliers at the India day parade. In the eyes of IV and all those who are living far enough to participate in our effort, these people are true heroes.
Interestingly, we met couple of people at the parade who claimed to be member of IV. What does being a member of IV means? Unless you actively participate, you are not a real member.
Anyways, the crowd at the parade was good and our team did best they could do and were able to distribute around 500 fliers. I fully agree that we could have done more and with more enthusiasm had our number were greater. But in spite of the odds, the spirits remained high.
I thank again to Raj , Murali and Kumar for sticking together for our cause. It is the people like you who will make the change happen.
May god bless you!
Thanks
Sanjeev

Urgent:h1 visa holder leaving country without informing employer!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please help!
One of my friends holding h1 visa had to travel outsdie the country for a family emergency. She informed her employer at the earliest opportunity she had, after reaching India. Now her employer had filed a law suit against her, stating that it is against law to leave the country without informing the employer! Is this true? Will she be in trouble? The employer had not paid her salary for past 2 months. She is ok with not continuing her employment with this employer if they are not willing to give the pay slips, and is ok with staying in India for a while. But she is worried that, will this case cause her any issue in future, when she return back to USA?
Any valuable suggestion will be highly appreciated.
My employer needs to pay me back wages for 3 months from Dec-2008 to Feb-2009. I travelled to India in March and informed the employer about the same after reaching India. Now the employer have filed a civil case against me for contract dispute. Can I file a complaint against my employer in Department of Labor, to get back the pending wages till March from outside the country?
Please help, as we are in a difficult financial situation and I cannot pay the employer the amount he demands for contract dispute, if the court rules against me, unless he pays me my pendng wages.

The url forward is for admins to decide. What does it really buy us.
But the home page clearly states this:-
Immigration Voice is a national non-profit organization (501 (c) (4)) working to alleviate the problems faced by legal high-skilled future Americans in the United States. We act as an interface between this set of immigrants and the legislative and executive branches of the government.
I think this makes it clear we are talking about legal skilled folks.
just my 2 cents.
