I like to see people who give me red dots...pay for that:)
I wouldn't mind getting red dots then.
The $5 fee is for giving someone a negative rep point and not for wrong answers

What makes you think you qualify for EB1? Is it because you were planning to apply in OR category? or because you wanted to apply in EA category?
FYI, a fresh PhD has very little chance to make it in EA category, and OR is applicable only for a researcher position.
It's nice to create a big fuss about your qualifications and how you have been hurt, but at the end of the day, these were choices YOU made (i.e. taking up full-time PhD instead of going to work immediately after school). Also, as someone else said on one of these never ending threads, there is nothing that prevented your future employer applying for GC for a future job for you as soon as you finish PhD :-)
So, again, if you are so qualified, and happy to live the consequences of your decision, where is the PLIGHT?
..."who were qualified for EB2 but applied in EB3. " ...Exactly my point. Technically I am qualified for EB1 but filed as EB2, hence i need to play by the rules governing EB2. Now if i begin lamenting that I am qualified for EB1 which is current and life is unfair since i am in EB2, how much sense would that make? My point is Don't crib if EB3 is retrogressed...use the system and become EB2, port your priority date, which is ofcourse dependent upon finding an EB2 job !!! All of this nonsense .."i pray someone does something for EB3" is going to get no one anywhere !! Fight for comprehensive immigration reform or HR 5882 recapture BUT for god's sake Do not blame the EB2 - India people who have played by the rules and are in a favorable position today relative to EB3 !!
The lawsuit against PD porting makes sense from an EB2 perspective and they are right to go ahead with it. Porting your PD from EB3 to EB2 makes sense from an EB3 perspective and every EB3 should try to do it before this door closes, if it does.

sidbee,
I am afraid you are being naive here. What the OP is saying is
(1) We should all go back to our home land, because he has some opinions and positions on what is considered turning back to home land. You might not see it but he is trying to shape opinion of others very intelligently. Who says this? Some one who does not want competition here. Well, if this was coming from some one who is in India I will give him props. He is in US for 10 years and he is saying US GC system sucks and I will go to canada in 2 years. Damn it! I am better than him because I will go to India and not canada. I will stop short of saying that every one should go back to India or his/her homeland.
(2) We all have no right to talk because this is not our country. or We are not in our country and we should not talk. Who says this? Again folks who dont want people here.
(3) Even if I give him the benefit of doubt on other issues, he thinks country caps are OK. Any one who argues for country caps in EB GC with out asking for a country caps in F1/H1B which server as conduit to H1B actually wants the disadvantage to lot of people to his advantage.
Just dont read the words as it is. try to infer some thing. These days trolls have got too much brains.
Mr President :-)
I agree with you on some aspects , I just didn't like the way ganguteli got flared up.
I believe , nitin has the right to voice his opinion (many people would agree with him, many would disagree). But there is no need to fight like illiterate people. If someone doesn't agree , he should say i don't agree, and this is what i believe in.
I like US very much , i am here for around 5 years , and i believe the GC system really sucks (don't you ?)But i have some commitments in India , and if i don't get a GC in 1-2 years i will go back. All my college batch mates in India are managers now , and i am still a developer. I cant take a better job , because i don't have a GC, and with EB3 India, by the time i will get a GC, i would be about to retire :-)
So everyone would have a different perspective, and different opinions.

My analysis for EB2. If some one is not agree with this, please ignore it but don't put any rude comment.
DOL approved labor as follow
For India (all category assume 50% are EB2)
2005 : 1350 (EB2-I : 675
2006 : 22298 (EB2-I : 11149)
2007 : 24573 (EB2-I : 12286)
2007 before July 2007 (approximately 65%)
July 2007 : 15972 (EB2-I : 7986)
2007 labor approval is for FY (up to Sept 07). If person have approved labor before July 2007, 99% he/she might have filed I 485.
Consider derivative (Dependent) factor : 2.5
Following numbers of I 485 pending applications for EB2-I:
2006 : 27872
2007 : 19965
Total : 47837
As per Sen Kyl's information pending I 485 for EB2 India : 51717
PD Before 31 Dec 2005 : 3880
PD Before 31 Dec 2006 : 31752
PD before July 2007 : 51717
If this data is true, It would be easily hit early 2006 cut off date for EB2-I in August/Sept 2009 VB
Good luck to every one !
(Note: I got my Green card in 2007)
Hey Khodalmd,
Good to see some of the old timers hanging around though the got their Green.
As you can see some of those old timers are still languishing here! Funny thing is becoming current is no guarantee of completion of processing, it merely gives you a chance to be hopeful!
This is a massively screwed up immigration system in so many ways. Totally unbefitting of such a great country.

Is it true that for a company w/ more than 100 employees, a statement letter from the CFO will be adequate as a proof for ability to pay? What info should the CFO be included in the letter?
I was so screwed by my lawyer in the LC process so I plan on DIY for the I-140 & 485.
Yes, you can submit a letter from CFO if the company has more than 100 employees.

I did paid consultation to find answer to this question with murthy office. As per them, one can do transfer and extension of H1B even after using AP as long as the current I-797 is still valid.
Thank you so much for sharing your information with the rest of us. It is people like you who makes this IV Forums so valuable.
What 'casinoroyale' mentioned does sound logical to me. H1 can either be VALID or INVALID. (there is no third state). if its valid it can be transferred or extended.
If someone says its valid but can not be transferred, means we are talking about a third kind of H1B here which is neither VALID nor INVALID. An H1B only valid with current employer and which can not be transferred or even extended. Thankfully, this kind of third state does not exists.
However I am no legal expert on this and hence asking others to share their experience on this.

More likely cause is that the letter from the applicant notifying his new job never reached/registered in CIS systems.
Did the person send the letter in time? Was there any intermediate change in status between NOID and actual denial status? This is crucial to know before jumping to conclusions.
Hello,
Here is my case trail
worked with employer A from June 2005 on h1b visa.
Employer A applied for GC under PERM EB2 with PD - March, 2nd 2006 - labor approved in a couple of weeks
Employer A applied for i 140 in June 2006 and got approved in July 2006
Filed for i 485 in July 2008 never received FP notices
Project got over in last week of February 2008 and unable to find new project.
I switched jobs in last week of April 2008 using EAD - using AC21
Sent AC21 letter to USCIS in July 2008 about job change.
Employer A requested 140 revoke in August 2008.
Spouse got FP notice in August 2008 whereas I (primary) got NOID asking for new employment details.
Responded to NOID in a timely manner and on August 25th, 2008 - my status changed to "Response received - case processing resumed"
In Jan 2009 I got my FP notice.
In Jan 2009 - I travelled using AP and got back fine.
In March 2009 - I got a denial notice saying "485 is denied because 140 was revoked on August 2008. No appeal only MTR" - thisletter comes from a different officer id than the one who sent the NOID.
My question to UN and other gurus. Does it have anything to do with a changed interpretation? My lawyer says "This is a training issue - the new officer did not know about AC21 and as soon as he/she saw 140 as revoked - just ignored your other details on the case and issued a denial notice. This is very common and can be resolved using MTR"

I smell a huge conspiracy behind all this USCIS, DOS mess. I believe the only reason they did is to make legal immigrants life miserable. They did all this so they waste EB visa numbers again this year and make legals wait for years before they get LPR. By the time the an individual numbers comes for the green card some of them might become illegals and some after years of frustion have gone back home.

Raj, Thanks for the reply. I am still looking out for the bride which is the reason it may take about a year or so.. So no chance of civil ceremony in a months time.
I have few more questions..
1) What does it really mean by withdrawing the I-485 ? Does it mean you withdraw only the 485 application and can reapply (just 485) it later when you are ready (when its current) ? Or does it mean the full GC process is cancelled, which means you have to start with your labor again at later point of time?
2) What are the real benefits of applying now for I-485 in my scenario? If I get married after the 485 is filed, it sounds like I am forced to anyway maintain my H1B till I get my spouse on H4. Also to apply for my spouse�s 485, my PD must be current at the time of filing. If not, then again I am forced to maintain my H1B till the dates become current.
Just to summarize, it sounds like I have to anyway maintain my H1B till I apply for my spouse�s 485.
So far, does it sound correct ? If not, please correct me..
If the above is correct, why not I apply for 485 after I get married ? Is that a bad idea ? I know I could save about 6 months to an year (may be more in some cases) if I apply before the marriage, but then I am taking the risk of getting approved 485 before my marriage.
Any thoughts?
There are so many stages where you can apply the breaks. Like if you get your FP too soon..you can reschedule the date or even withdraw the I-485 application later. Other option is to convert to CP. There are so many options and talk to your attroney.
I feel you should file now, try to do civil ceremony done in india in 30-45 days so you are safe.

I have used India Network Health Plan since 2002 till date for my parents, they stay 6 months in India and 6 months in US.
India Network Health Plan specially designed for Visiting parents, temporary workers and their families. Visit http://health.indnet.org for more info, premiums and plan details.

After reading through all the posts at IV, I've decided to get the Atlas America Medical insurance for my parents. This is the only comprehensive insurance I could find and most others have limited coverage. The cost is around $900 for 3 months for a $500000 policy with $2500 deductible.
Could members who had this insurance post their experience?
Also, is there any other comprehensive plan available for visitors?
we used IMG international's/sirius international patriot america with a $250 decutible 90/10, for 50K...
one thing I noticed is this company takes a long time ( most other visitor insurance companies too I suspect) for settling cliams..we still have a claim not settled since for a one in december and most of these dont cover pre existing conditions and they are very very restrictive.. however there are some insuranc companies who provide a rider for pre existing conditions for an extra dough..
just make sure to call them for any major visit (hopefdully not needed but in any case) , the one above we got was a comprehensive NOT a limited one..still I think these insurance carriers in my opinion do their best to delay the claim and do whatever they can to sneak up on you with a surprise
I would love to hear from members who had a great CLAIMS experience (not price) with any visitor ins carrier..

If PD is not current, they cannot accept the application, the just have to return the applications citing the same reason. If they accept the application they have to receipt it and if they reject, then they need to have qualified reasons for it... Not having available visas is not an acceptable reason to reject the receipted applications. It goes to shelves untill visa number becomes available... Note. if they receipt, they need to process EAD/AP and work on the application like any other.
This is my understanding..
based on the CIS SOP, mail room receiving is different than initial processing. Just because they accepted in mail room does not mean it is accepted. The validity of the filing is determined in the initial processing; and initial processing is complete only if you receive a receipt notice or you get your packet back. If you get your packet back, this is not denial; this is rejection. Denial is when you get yor receipt notice but your 485 is denied.
Currently, June Filers who filed mid-month are getting their receipts which means we will know our fate only probably by the end of month or even later. keep your fingers crossed.

Everytime USCIS makes a decision or simply has a look at your file, there will be a new date or "LUD".

Thanks for the effort.
I posted my comments and my story (with links to couple articles that were published sometime back about my case in a newspaper).
Lets add more stories. As someone already suggested lets concentrate on how our GC can contribute to the economy - buying a house/establishing a company/etc. I also quoted some of the recent studies that showed how immigrant entrepreneurs positively contributed to the economy (couple links from IV).
