This waiver seems to be for Citizens and Green card holders right?
I have applied for 485 is this waiver applicable to me. Any thoughts?
tv25, please talk to a good Attorney. You know very well what your case is about...and its a good idea to talk to an attorney and get everything sorted out.

Are you out of your mind ? You are taking a huge risk by staying in the US and droping your Canadian PR because of some "probable" green card. What makes you think that by the time you finish school the situation will still be better in US. I hope you will not regret this but think about your family. In 3 years you and your family could be happily in BC with free health care, great weather, less stress, travel wherever and whenever you want, have your own law firm.
OR you could be a stressed H1B (a.k.a educated slave) waiting for I-140, I-485, EAD or whatever to come through.
Just because you asked, I have been in this same situation. But in my case, the decision was easy. I was on h1b making 69k. The same job in Toronto offer $55k CAD. Much less, but with my freedom to consult on the side and my wife's income we bring over $100k. We vacation in Florida for a month every year to visit friends. Life has never been better.
Whoever tells you to stay and take the risk is putting your family's hapiness in jeopardy. But the choice is yours. Just don't come here crying when CIS finds a problem with your application.

As per my lawyer
All you need is the job title and the duties for AC21. At the time when we filed your labor application, we did not use SOC code. The code was assigned by State Wage Unit when they determined the prevailing wage. They did not care what the job title was. Rather, they determined it based on the acceptable field of study to maximize the salary required. Consequently, it often did not match with the job title on the application.
Like I mentioned above, the occ code as assigned by SESA may not match the job description on the application. It is the risk you will take if you followed the occ code to find your job title and/or skills.

as per http://www.indianembassy.org/newsite/NEW%20PASSPORT.asp#1
The following documents and fee are required to be submitted with the application:
� After having filled the application online, print a copy.
� Affix photograph as per specification in the box (do not staple photograph)
� Old Passport (in original)
� Additional booklet, if any, (in original)
� Three recent passport size photographs (3.5 cm x 3.5 cm -front facial pose). Photograph should have only a white background. (Photograph with coloured or dark glasses or in uniform or in Polaroid prints or Computer prints will not be accepted). One photograph to be pasted on the space provided on the first page of the application form
� Two proofs of residential address of the applicant, which may include current Driving License, Utility Bill, rent lease agreement showing the residential address.
Photocopy of the first five and last two pages of the original / old passport;
� Pages of passport showing US visa or Green Card (in original) Employment Authorization Card (in original) or other visa documents must be shown at the counter. A photocopy of the entire document / Card should be appended with the application (in case the application is sent by mail, a notarized copy of these documents should be sent);
� In case application for Green Card or EAC or visa is pending/being processed, a copy of documents in support of this fact must be submitted;
� In case the current passport does not contain the name of the spouse and the applicant wishes to have it entered in the new passport, copy of notarized marriage certificate must be submitted along with the application.
I am confused with few things in the above list of reqd documents:
1.It says white background , But I am only able get Cream colored background photos in CVS or Walgreen's
2.When I went notary in Bank Of America , the lady at bank says that she can't do notary for any copy of the document , she says she can do notary for a Application form that is signed in front of her.Same with marriage certificate.
I am confused and I need to travel by the end of this month.I need to drive 10 hrs 1-way to go to the consulate personally.
Don't hold me against it, but don't get paranoid on these aspects. Most of the rules are common sense and there is some room for ambiguity :-)
Light cream is good enough.
Just take a copy and certify it yourself ( by writing true copy and affixing your signature). I am guessing there are people who review these documents and unless they see something fishy, there should be no problem.

Hi Pankaj,
You sang the National Anthem very well. I have been here in US for about 5 years now and for the first time; I felt that I was part of America and this could be my country. I felt goose bumps when I heard you sing the Anthem.
Thank You. And yes, you did sing it from your heart and only then can it have such a magical effect on everyone who was listening.
Thanks,

I have used it. I-140 approved. Currently working on EAD. Got the letter from new employer mentioning title similar to both of my GC labor bassed application example: title: Title1(EB3 based - old app/Title2(EB2 based - New app). I will be using that letter to inform USCIS for my AC 21 usage. I am waiting for my lawyer to take that task into his hand.My both GC is based on different but close labor codes. Currently I have not decided to port PD to new file but once I decide the same letter will work for that as well. My letter just mentions title and salary and which department I am working and to whom I am reporting. According to lawyer there is no need to put "Job Description" at all in that letter. I originally got the letter with job description (matching both codes) but my lawyer advised me to remove "job description" and thus I had to take another letter.

Thank you all for your suggestions and they are helpful.
I would wait for one or two months for the next FY visa bulletins and decide on starting my new labour in EB2.
Thank you again.
If your current/future job is eligible for EB-2, you have the qualifications to meet the job requirement and your employer is willing to start EB-2 process, I would get the process started as soon as possible. With your current EB-3 PD, I dont see anything changing in the next 1 to 2 months. You might as well start it now so you can complete the PERM documentation and advertising phase and file PERM in 2-3 months duration instead of waiting. Thats my 2 cents.

Even I got an FP notice 3 weeks after getting the welcome notice. Then they also updated the status to Card Production Ordered and Post Decision Activity. Finally got the card after more than a month. I still have to go for FP later this month. I don't know what the hell is going on but at least I got the card.
I am still waiting for my card, but I received a FP notice yesterday. I think I'll get my card once I am done with my FP.

But in not "voting with our feet" we are part of the problem. Just imagine, if a substantial fraction of H1 visa holders left the US tomorrow (and quoted the backlogs as the cause) wouldn't that get more attention than all our efforts so far?
You are dead right .. but a bigger contributing factor is the fact that a vast majority of GC applicants come from a small number of highly populated labor-surplus countries, with a virtually infinite stream of young people itching to land here even if we go back ... the demand from our home countries is as big an issue as our reluctance to go back. Thats why you see corporates lobbying heavily for H1-B visas, but not as much for EBs.Simple supply and demand.
But, this game isnt going to go on forever. Those people who want to come here are not idiots. The prime reason so many students and skilled workers choose to come here rather some other developed country is because of the possibility of settling here .. when this turns out to be a mirage and word spreads about our plight, the trend will reverse dramatically. The only question is how soon .. we are definitely in a position to accelerate that.

I have a Ph.D and 2 M.Sc in Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering. I got my H1-B and I also have been employed for 3 months now. My company policy required 3 years before sponsoring me. I do not want to wait that long to start applying. How can I tell if I am qualified for EB-2 with National interest waiver? Is that the only way for me to get GC?
I also want to mention that I have 5 proceedings papers but not journals. I also do not have any citations for my proceedings papers.
Please advice me what is the best senario for me and if I have any chance to apply for EB-2 with NIV.

I would go with the prediction in the Jan 2010 Visa Bulletin:
WHAT ARE THE PROJECTIONS FOR CUT-OFF DATE MOVEMENT IN THE EMPLOYMENT PREFERENCES FOR THE REMAINDER OF FY-2010?
Based on current indications of demand, the best case scenarios for cut-off dates which will be reached by the end of FY-2010 are as follows:
Employment Second:
China: July through October 2005................CHINA IS ALREADY AT NOV 2005...SO THIS HAS HAPPENED
India: February through early March 2005.........ONE MONTH BEHIND HERE....NOT BAD WITH THE PREDICTION
If Section 202(a)(5)were to apply:
China and India: October through December 2005 ..................THIS IS THE SPILLOVER CHANCES FOR JULY-SEPT 2010....MOST LIKELY IT WILL CLOSE AT JAN 1, 2006
I tend to agree with you. Projections by DOS seems to be closer to reality.
I would stay conservative contrary to many other predictions.
1) China moving to Nov 2005 is a good thing for India. This means India will get all the remaining fall-down/fall-across numbers until priority date reaches Nov 2005. After that both India and China will share and move the dates by a month or so. This should get India to Dec 2005 to Jan 2006.
2) Many see the dates have not moved much for so many months. So they can be skeptical about the date movements in the last few months. The reason why i anticipate much larger movements in the final months is due to the fact that India gets about 3 times more visas through fall-across/fall-down than what is alloted for just India.
2009 info
Country cap for Eb-2 - aprox. 2800
2009 India for Eb-2 was 10,116.
fall-down/fall-across numbers 10,116 - 2800 = aprox. 7316
So we can see that visa movement for India (Eb-2) is greatly influenced by the number of fall-down/fall-across which seem to happen mostly in the last quarter.

There were a few instances where the previous senate majority leader, Dr Frist was trying to by-pass the committee. But, in the case of the House of Reps, it would not have done any good as Denny Hastert had the rule of "super majority" meaning that he would only bring bills to the floor when a majority of the majority (of Republicans) would support it.
Bills almost never go to the floor directly. Especially something as huge as CIR. It will go thru committee again and it will go thru normal rounds of debate and amendments between the 18 people in Judiciary committee.
Its very unusual for a bill to hit the floor directly without going thru the committee that has jurisdiction over it. If it happens all the time, then the committees would be meaningless. The whole point of having a committee is to be able to either kill the entire bill, or a congressional appointment before such a bill / confirmation is debated by all 100 senators. Same thing in the House.
If it was possible to bypass committees, then people would have floored the SKIL or other bills directly on the floor of the house, therby bypassing Jim Sensenbrenner and his Judiciary committee last year.

You can file as many I-140's in any category (EB2/EB3/NIW) as long as you have a certified labor for a bona fide position with a matching education and company has ability to pay for those positions. These I-140's can come from one company or different ones it doesn't matter.
In your current situation:
1. Don't even think about doing anything with pending I-140 and AOS. There is a definite delay in I-140 approvals at both NSC/TSC so waiting is the best thing to do. As long as your qualification matches the LC description you will get your I-140 approved. If your I-140 is pending 30 days past the processing time and you haven't received an RFE, it might have been stuck in security check. Your lawyer needs to open a service request to find out what is going on.
2. For the labor that is expiring in Jan, go ahead and file an I-140 petition right now, there is nothing to worry about two I-140. If nothing else this petition can be used for 3 year H1B extension in case the first one gets stuck.
3. The second I-140 that you are filing can't be used for your pending AOS if your priority date is not current. Check the Pearson Interfiling memo ( from link below). If your priority dates are current and will remain current (EB2 ROW) file for an new AOS application when your second I-140 gets approved. If by this time your first I-140 is approved you can simply toss the second I-140 in the office shredder.

Thanks CanadianDream. Your words are encouraging. I will check with the lawyer. The reason we want to file another I-140 is just to safeguard the H-1B status. I am in my 5th year.
BTW, I have another question. Do they do security check for I-140 also? I never know this. I thought FBI check is only for I-485. My I-140 has been pending for 1.5 years so far. NO RFEs. Nothing. Every time my lawyer calls USCIS, they say it requires additional review and since no REFs are give, adjudication should be forthcoming.
Are there anything we can do to get the status on the security check? How long usually does it take?

As somebody said earlier, it's not right a forcing statement that donate. When I read the first reply of my email was not something which I asked advice but a dontation I was somewhat flustered. IT reached the limites when somebody mentioned cancel your trip of Bahamas and donate.
I would just say please mind your own business in these things if you don't want to give advice, dont act like some jerk and tell me what to do and what not to do..
By the way I have already donated money in past before DC rally and will donate again.
Please don't spoil the spirit of forum and act maturely!!! Also people have repped in wierdes ways as well on this post.
Bunch of losers. I am done with this forum.
Please do not question the dedication of the people involved. I think you being upset is okay.
answers to your questions.......
On Cruises generally they do not ask about visas but it always is better to get one. We went on one 2 years back and had visas for all the countries that we went to. None was checked.....but if you do not have the H1 stamped then you will have to use AP to re-enter. There is always an immigration officer when you come back to US. They check all paper work and ask questions. We were asked. We had stamped H1/H4 visas.
To be safe always check with some/your lawyer. I did and they were very helpful in this regard (and not in others though).
Please do not abandon the forum as it has been created to help all. While you are here consider donating a small token to show support. This is request and not a demand.
