If you are working on H1, #2 is not an option. You will be violating immigration laws by accepting payment from unauthorized sources by doing so.
Thanks guys for your reply. This was tremendous knowledge that you guys dumped in.
Let's say if I am on the green card (EAD) , then still I can not evade this tax situation correct ?I mean if they pay me and I pay to the company in India who is really responsible for the service.

As per the current guidelines adjudicating officer makes the determination based on Department of Labor SOC/O*net code in the Labror Certification Application (ETA 9098) form. ( It's very critical to have a copy of LC application, before considering AC21. If you don't have it through employer, you can get a copy from DOL through FOIA request )
DOLs SOC/O*Net gives the job description for the Job code as well as "same or similar" jobs (if you search on your SOC/O*net code)
http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/
Here's an example - http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/ccreport/15-1031.00
This is the website IOs are supposed to be using (as per guidelines). Becoming a Sr. Software Engineer from Software Engineer shouldn't be an issue. Salary hike beyond 50% could (or could not) be a problem based on the IOs sole discretion. 50% is just a ball-park assumed by most immigration attorneys. In reality, there is no such preset limit. It's entirely upto the IOs decision.
Promotion as manager is a tricky situation, as Job description changes. IO may consider it 'same or similar', or consider it altogether different. In such cases it may be possible to prove the jobs are similar by obtaining an 'Expert Opinion Letter' from an expert in the field ( such as a Professor of Computer Science from a University).
How do Promotions impact one's existing GC application?
for example: one filed for the GC as a Software Engineer, 5 years down the road one switches to a different company in the same area/location using EAD (avoiding AC21 for now) and the salary is 30 % higher than that was mentioned on one's LC filing and the job title is sr software engineer (same or similar responsibilities, senior title). How would something like this impact one's GC application?
I also wonder what would happen to the GC application if one was to get another promotion and become a manager with even a higher salary (some job responsibilities stay the same and some new managerial responsibilites get added).
I am sure many of us would have faced this since clearly many of us have been waiting for many many years - I would really appreciate your input on this. Thanks!

Here is one of my friend in the similar situation planning to do. He is filing 485 without any medical exam. Certainly, he is going to get query and after query you have 40 days (double check this number) to reply. So, he'll get some time to go and do wife hunting.
Medical exam is considered part of "intial evidence" for the I485. If your friend files without the medical report, his application will be rejected without an RFE.

Hello,
I just received an RFE for my dang travel document as well. They want copies of all my passports, with arrival/departure stamps and more photographs. I travel abroad every other year so this may have kicked off the RFE. I'm sure all the lawyers are loving the RFE's. I cannot believe we have to go through so many hurdles for just a I-131 travel document. It looks like they are going to make us work for our green cards. :confused:

Hi All,
By now, we all know of at least one person who lost his/her job recently. Unfortunately, this is a very tough time for all the people around the world, not just here in the US. But, we have to worry about our status here in the US.
This is the one community which helps people like us, who are still waiting to go GREEN!!!. No body is going to help you or me get a job when we lose one. We have to help ourselves. We have to help each other.
So, Friends, apart from sharing the bad news of layoffs with the community, please also share any job openings here. Let us try to help the ones here, without a job, to get one. I know it is not a job portal, but this is the one place, where we all immigrants come together. This is the time to help each other. So, Admins, can we create a separate thread to post known job openings that can help our friends here at IV.
Good luck to everyone and stay calm. Remember, there is always daylight after night. We will overcome this. Yes. We Can.

Hello Gus
My understanding is that Sen Maj. Leader and Min leader pick senate
conferees. Similar with house. Democrats support the bill. Most of the
republicans oppose it. House and Senate Bill are different like day and
night. The bill has to pass because.
1. Enforcement and Boarder protection is highly needed and the house
really want it. If they need it they have to make some sacrifice accepting
guest workers program with slight modification etc. Otherway the CIR supporting conferees may not agree and bill dies leaving things same as now
which nobody wants.
2. Election is approaching. Most of the leaders in Rep party openly admitted
that Enforcement only bill will affect them adversly
3. Mr. Persident is a strongly supporting Guest Worker program.
4. If a enforcement only bill is pased thats going to affect the relationship
with Mexico.
I believe the House is against legal immigration too. Otherway some provisions might have survived in the budget bill. My biggest worry is that
if CIR supporters and Opposers (conferees) will be happy to remove legal immigration provisions in the in the reconcilation process and call it deal!
thanks

Does anybody recall an old TV serial in India named 'Appu aur Pappu' about a boy and his elephant?! :D
Looks like the long GC wait is turning me into a crazy person if I start recalling such old serials! :(
Hey common man i LOVED that TV serial :) For a brief 2-3 months it raised visions of me becoming a Forest officer ;) But yeah i vividly remember that serial too. :)

hi pd_recapturing/gene 77,
Is there any update on your case, I have similar situation,
I have applied my I485 with priority date of Jan2006 (my I 14O is approved).Mean time the same company
applied a sublabor with a priority date july10,2001 for Eb3 ,which is current. Can i replace my old i140 with
the new i 140(eb3). and if i success fully do so, do I have still have to be with same employer for another 180 days.
When I called USCIS today they said some officer is reviewing my case, does this mean interfiling is automatic?
My PD is current for 2001 july10 eb3 category?
Please let me know...

Congratulations on becoming a new Father. Though your name sounds as if you were the mother :). Anyway, if you got 4 interviews in 6 weeks, that sure does not look like weak economy. I remember the recession of 2001-2002. People used to get one interview in 4 months back then.
Laid off 6weeks back. Attended 4 interviews. Outof luck.
I used to get many calls from desi consultants. But not now. I do not know whether it is because of economy or my EAD status.
Here are my excuses to not to get job.
1.New Father (I was little confused about how every thing goes. Thank god no set backs here)
2.Functions(I was occupied to celebrate his 21st day).
3.Taking care of new born( He needs to be feed once in every two hours. Mother got tired of this.)
4.Holiday season.
5.Economy.
6.I am good at supporting my situation :) .
Hopefully I will land some where by Jan Mid.

Sorry everyone I have been off-line for 3 days now. Someone's dog chewed through the cable line and I couldn't get on. I'm at school right now. Should be fixed tonight.
Thx Pom. I wish I kept most of the layers. Cause if you look at it now there aren't many. I merged most of them to keep the file size down. If I hadn't you might have been able to see more.*sob* oh well....thx for the nice comment...

He doesn't have much credibility even in republicans. he talks filth and spews venom. It is better to be safe than sorry with these talk show hosts.
i do agree with gcsucks that he is pro indian, i have heard him defend migration from india when a caller called him to complain about the H1B program. but he sure is moody, cause if we catch him on the wrong day then the responce can be unpredictable.
once he did a show on why indian kids end up winning spelling bee, and it was an interesting analysis of our culture and our dedication towards education. but his primary concern was that someday it will sure happen that indians will start dominating the american lifestyle and policy.

Mine is LC SUB PD May 2001/EB2. File on visa fiasco, no update no LUD on any file other than EAD.
So do not get angree on people who used LC SUb.
my point is don't try to forget your route and the path that you travelled to reach the point where you are today ... it is as simple as that ... anyway I should stop writing about this and rather go home early ;) ...

If IV core can help us to set these meetings up and also provide suggestions/ideas, I think with 50 participants, we can convey what we want to. If EB2 folks are also joining us, we can seek support from compete America and have representation from them as well.
We should keep this very low profile - meaning:
1. No high demands - shouldn't ask to make EB3 I current in October
2. Shouldn't compare or discuss EB2 I and C
3. Shouldn't complain their (USCIS/DOS) work style or inefficiency.
4. Don't compare us with illegals.
What we should be discussing:
1. Reference to EB3 I 2001 and 2002 cases and possibilities with new VISA flow structure
2. Difficulties in using AC21/EAD to switch jobs
3. Very importantly - how they view EB3 I dates not moving forward in the last few years (besides last july) and what their plans are to address it (besides passing a legislation)
4. To give us some direction in planning for the GC wait - by providing us how many cases are pending with break-down year wise - will indicate that people can make their own decision either to continue GC process or give up and go elsewhere (we will not demand GC but seek information to enable ourselves to make a wiser decision)
5. Their game plan if a legislation does not pass, say, for the next 2 years. Can they make some changes at administration level to help us? Like relax EAD restrictions?
These are not high demands but fair enough questions from aspiring immigrants who are in the queue as long as 8 years!!
We will send letters to President, Immigration sub-committee, DOS and USCIS chief, CHC members either before or immediately after the meeting.
The intention is not to come back with GC for every EB3 I but atleast make a representation and seek some quality information from them. Also, give them the feeling that we may not wait forever.
If these ideas are stupid, my apologies.
I strongly believe nothing like meeting with people in person.
And, if we are doing this, we should do this as early as 1st week of September.
Thoughts?
