I need some advice.
I have a PD of November 9th 2001 (EB3).
My 140 and 485 was filed on August 2003.
My 140 was approved in Feb 2004.
I am now retrogressed with the November Visa bulletin showing an April 22nd 2001 PD for EB3.
As we can all see EB3 is move very very slowly and probably will continue this way (I hope I am wrong), while EB2 is already current for my PD.
From my information and some threads on this forum. I believe I have the option of filing for an EB2, while maintaining my current PD.
My Questions:
1. Does it make sense for me to refile in EB2, given my situation? PD Nov 2001 in EB3.
2. Can I apply for EB2 through the same company. (my current company)?
3. What is the process of doing so (EB3 to EB2)? Would I have to refile for labor, 140 and 485, or is their a way I could directly file for I485, since my I140 is approved and I am in the same company.
4. Would the EB2 case be a new case altogether, i.e. not related to my existing EB3 case again providing the fact that I have NOT changed employers?
5. Would I be able to use the experience I have gathered in my current job (5.5 years) in the EB2 conversion.
I will appreciate your help.
Thanks

I have received FP notices both for my wife and myself for both 485 & 765. Code 3 ,2 . The question is :I dont know how FP process works. My wife has very smooth and sweaty hands. When i applied for Canadian immigration during FBI FP process even after n no. of attempts we couldnt get good prints on FP Sheet using INK. Ofcourse through speaking with Canadian Consulate they gave her an exemption over this. Now many of my friends have informed me that FP process is Electronic is this true?
I think she has no problem with electronic FP as US consulate could take her FP's when initially she went for H4 in i ndia. please comment.

clarify21: If you would like to maintain the H1B status, for the part time job, you will have to ask your part time employer to do the new H1B; by having two H1Bs you can work for two employers the same time.
Can you do this?, am not so sure that you can have 2 H1B's and work for both. Don't you transfer your h1 to the new employer?
I am sure clarify can use the EAD for the both full and part time job.

I just wanted to share my experience for my parents visitor visa appointment. I was trying to get appointment in Punjabi at Delhi. I tried it for 3 months but dates were always unavailable. Finally found some guy back in India gave him Rs 2500 and got the appointment in a couple of days....I was surprised at this....I know this is not right way but I had no other option

My company is paying all cost of GC. So they refused to file after July 2nd USCIS letter.
But the July 2nd decision was reversed later. Why did they not file then?
Besides, companies do not need to pay for 485. Makes no sense for them to pay for something that they do not have to.
On a separate note, does anyone know of any company which has discontinued GC processing because the new rule states the employer has to pay for PERM?

Anoop - dont worry about it and ask your company to reapply with a stronger educational valuation. Everything depends on the educational valuation report submitted along with the application.
Request for a stronger educational evaluation and request them to reapply.

Looking at the responses from admins and core group on the Frist Bill threads it appears that the strategy for IV is to
(i) Send mass faxes to senators to establish IV as a significant org
(ii) Use the above leverage and QGA contacts to try and include additional favourable clauses in the bill while still supporting the bill as is.
The 2 main broad clauses that everyone seems to have consensus on is
(A) Re-instatement of AC-21 (paragraph 5) in full so that oversubscribed countries are eligible to use left-over visas from the rest of the world.
(B) Ability to file I-485 while the visa number is retrogressed.
This thread is to discuss alternatives for these 2 main clauses so that various options can be discussed with Senators if they are not willing to put these clauses as is:
For example:
(A) AC-21 clause alternatives
1. Put in the clause for a limited time period like 5 years, this will relieve the curretn backlog as well as make sure that the immigration per country numbers are not skewed for ever.
2. Increase the per-country limits to 25% so it may be skewed but not that much
3. Increase the per-country to 25% for a limited period of time ( 5 years)
4. Have per country limit 10% on current year only. But for recapture from previous years do not impose per country limit.
(B) Filing I-485 when priority dates not curretn
1. allow for filing if I-140 approved and priority dates stilll not curretn
2. allow for filing of 6 months has passed since I-140 approved and priority dates curretn
3. USCIS favourite :-) allow filing if 45 days has passed since I-140 has been filed and priority dates not curretn.
Pleas pitch in with alternative ideas on these 2 main clauses.

I think the words look kinda weird on a heavy grid like that, and the flare in the background looks a little grittish.

oh, and add some color! unless it's the black&white look you're after :P
neat...! :) Good for a first try...!

Thanks beuhler.
Yes, I have been residing in the US for several years now. I was not sure if the consular districts are determined based on the state of current residence or based on the state of my permanent address in India or state that issued my passport. After reading your reply, I looked up what the embassy "loosely" defines consular district as at :
http://newdelhi.usembassy.gov/nivconsdist.html
So it does state that US residents can apply for the NIV at any of the four consulates. So does this mean that their emergency appointment requirement of being from the New Delhi consular districts applies only to residents of India and not residents in the US ? This seems subject to interpretation.
In your case, was it an emergency appointment or a regular one ?
Thanks.

Your situation isn't too tough.
Yes you will need a new F1 visa to re-enter. Nobody knows your chances of rejection, just take all the docs and hope for the best.
If your F1 gets rejected then you can come back on valid H4 - I don't think they will cancel other valid visas. However once you are back here you'll have to again apply for a COS to
F1

To all fellow GC applicants and immigration gurus.I have this question to ask.I recently got my I-140 and applied I-485 (Aug 1 2007).
My employer is moving office to new address.How will it effect my future GC process ?. Thanks in advance
If the company is moving within the same county then no issues.
If it's moving to a different state (or) to a different county within the same state, then refer the following thread
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=158508&postcount=7
Remember, the prevailing wage differs from county to county even within the same state.

My friend also don't have any issue. He filled on June 10th 2007 and has to leave county on June 12th 2007. He and spouse got stamping and came back to US on July 11th 2007. They have done FP and got EAD.
It's advisible to to have Receipt# before leaving and I am hoping you will get in next 8 weeks for sure. Good Luck.
I have I-140 approved and also based on I-140, I have 3 years H1B approved which expires in 2010.
My I-485 was rejected and I have re-submitted which is obviously pending and not further news on that (refiled on 10/10/07 at CSC)
I have following questions:
1. If I want to travel to INDIA for 6-8 weeks, Is there any problem?
2. Can I get H1B VSIA stampled at BOMBAY?
3. Do I need any other document except H1B approval notice & I-140 approval notice?
4. Do I need to mention about I-485 been filed?
Please help. Thank you in advance.

I am currently on H1B, and my current company is not willing to sponsor me for GC. I am in my 5th year. I have found another company who has agreed to hire me and start my gc process, however, I am in a fix. This new offer is in CA and I am currently in NJ (+ my family)
I don't want to take this option unless it is absolutely necessary. My spouse, has the I-140 approved and not yet filed I-485. PD is Jan 04, EB3.
What are my options?
How many months left for you in fifth year? You need atleast 6 months to join another company so that they can do all the necessary steps in those 6 mnths before they file PERM. Are you trying to transfer to consultancy or full time employer?

There are no guarantees when you are dealing with the USCIS. I was current in April 2005. Approval came in November 2007. Call the USCIS customer service and initiate service request.
