You should read that RonGothers thread - he is strongly of the opinion that maintaining H1B status while AOS is pending is useless
Its not useless if you are in a ROW country/category that is always/usually current since your I-485 can be approved in a short period of time, without having to extend H-1. So you can save yourself the hassle of switching back and forth between H-1 and EAD.
It only becomes pointless when you are in a backlogged country like most of us are. By the time a decision is made on the I-485 you wouldve already extended your H-1 beyond 6 years, thus making it dependant on that EB petition.

Hello,
In all the stories of INS, USCIS, DHS that I've read here, the lack of visibility, customer service and accountability seem to be the common theme.
However, I was pleasantly surprized by a call from IO a few weeks back in local office asking me for extra documents (Current employment letter as the original one was from 2007, 2007 tax returns and 2007/08 W-2).
He told me that though he had sent a letter, the letter would take a few days to reach and hence he wanted to call me up. He also told me that as my original fingerprints are expiring on 26th Feb, I should send the response as soon as possible to enable him to process the application.
Though I still don't have any extra hope that the application will be processed soon, it was nice to see a change in USCIS approach.
Hope this was not an exception to rule and we see more such behavior from USCIS that helps in clearing us from this awkward limbo situation.

Dhundhun,
I hold high regard for your postings...but in the 765 manual, I could not find any such rule that you just mentioned..Here is an excerpt from Pg 9 of
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf
If your response to Question 16 is (c)(9) ....
Otherwise, if you filed your I-485 adjustment application with
a USCIS Service Center, you must file Form I-765 at the
Nebraska Service Center or the Texas Service Center,
depending on where you live (see the following addresses)......
Are you sure ?? :confused:
I have recently moved from Ohio to Pennsylvania and am about to file for renewal. Thanks....
Sorry to hear that case is gone to wrong office. The (c)(9)() class of EAD filing instruction is that it must be sent where I485 is being processed.
During infopass visit, officer must have given some clue.
If I were you, I would be sending the supporting documents with a covering letter stating the blunder. This type of mistake should not be uncommon to USCIS offices and they should have procedures to fix it.

Your Labor Approval date is 8/13/2007 and you had already applied for 485 on June 29th, how is that possible?
Labor Approval Date: 8/13/2007
I-140 Approved sept 2005 Attorney incorrectly applied EB3
Applied second I-140 EB2 May 2007 EB2
I-485 applied June 29th
I-485 receipt notice received Aug 15
EAD approved Aug 17
YOU APPLIED ON JUNE 29TH AND GOT EAD ON AUGUST 17?. WOW!:eek:
SO WHO FILED IN JULY, CAN WE EXPECT EAD IN SEPT?.

Any idea of how many number of I-140s ? May be 50000+. It looks like it might take at least an year to process these I-140s in NSC/TSC. TSC is faster when compared to NSC, where the priority dates has not been moving, at least for EB1/EB3. What do you say ?
A trivial question: Do they process I-140s based on labor filed date (priority) or I-140 filed date ?
Hopefully they will reinstate PPS for I-140 after they are done with receipting the July/Aug applications.
Good luck to everyone.

I-140 is processed a per RD (I-140 filing date).

It takes about 2 weeks get the RFE. It contains 2+ pages, first page is cover letter and second page+ will contain RFE details. NSC is know to issuing RFE on ability to pay, education (if 3 years degree) and detailed professional experience letters.

Isn't the UK issue different.
They are trying to change rules retroactively. There is no such thing going on here.
A similar stance would be if in midstream: lawmakers changed retroactively that only if the job makes more then $150,000 it is qualified for EB2; only companies with revenues of over $20 million can apply for greencards. If they changed the rules retroactively in USA which would preclude people who are already in line; then you would see massive amounts of protests.
However; what is happening in UK is not the same issue here. Same thing happened in Canada a few years ago when they changed the point system and wanted to do it for people retroactively.

Thank you all for the good wishes !!
Pappu, I havnt got the approval notice / email yet. Will update once I have the same.
The day I got the email ( April 9 ) from TSC, I received an "unknown" call on my cell phone. I was in a meeting and was unable to take the call. Couple of days back I received a similar call and it was from an immigration officer @ TSC. She chatted with me regarding my old 140 for 2 minutes and told me that the priority date has been ported / used. I think the nice lady wanted to let me know about the approval and since I did not pick up the call generated an email from the OLD TSC system !!!!! . There is no update on the online system after wards.. I will update once I get something in regular mail..
Thanks again for all the good wishes and hopefully things will improve for all of us soon.
Congratulations! Seems like the nice lady wanted to chat up with Bond, James Bond! :D

Did I mention EB cap in my earlier post? I mentioned CAP which does not conclude that it is EB cap. I went through the bill too.
A ha! Now I see where the misunderstanding lies. And I do apologize if you got offended.
As I wrote earlier my "bummer" post was specifically in response to your and whitecollarslave's posts about Masters in STEM. whitecollarslave's replied (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=231838&postcount=5) to your post asking "H-1B cap or EB green card cap?" And so I replied expressing my disappointment with the bill that Masters in STEM were exempt only from the H-1B cap.
You thought I was correcting you, but I really wasn't. It was my bad that I quoted your post in my response instead of quoting whitecollarslave's post. My apologies once again. Let's bury the hatchet.
Thanks,
Jayant

like the historic successful flower campaign, can some one come out with a great idea to bring CIS attention to this issue? 'Satyagrah'??? Gandhi style fasting??? ideas?
USCIS is already aware of this. They have been notified through AILA and our letters are also working. IV has also been pushing for more broader AC21 regulations for a few months now.
Our request from IV is to keep sending the letters. Please send letters in thousands - not like 50 to 60 letters.
Everyone must take initiative and push other members. It is a very importasnt campaign.
It is very much possible that a lot of you may be a victim of AC21 denials. It is your call.
Please take responsibility and everyone must come forward and bring others also into this campaign.

But Pope I thought 4 MP is all PJ's want ;)
Actual daily press and wire service photographers will undoubtly use 4mp. You may not be aware, but all the goreous 2 column color shots you see on USA Today etc. are printed from files that are usually 700k - 800k. There are heavily compressed for transmitting. All the wires do that. They don't get full files. The most attractive things to me are the high ISO performance, the ability to customize colorspace amd I'm anxious to test the new autofocus capabilities. The 8 mp is a plus for shooting for a mag or other output. Even at that, I've had 1D shots as a glossey mag color that looked great. One advantage higher megapixels give a sportshooter is for sports like football. Due to the size of the field, the ability to crop more gives you more field coverage. But then the question is will you have enough time to work with files that are twice the size. I'm sure that's why Canon listened and gave us 4 MP as an option.

The second bill (HR 5634) says that people with PhD from US universities are cap-exempt from EB. So it means some quota will be freed up from EB1 and also from Eb2-NIW.
Read all the bills. I guess you are bummer !!!!
So is this bill passes, can a person with a PhD apply for a GC without an employer (same as EB1)? I am confused...

[QUOTE=pd052009;2116961]GC quota should be based on skillset(1,2,3), not solely based on salary.(remeber, we are talking about future salary here).
we do have it : EB1/EB2/EB3. See EB1 is exploited by 'lot of' people (due to legal loophole) -these people have 4-5 yrs. total work-exp. & get half the salaries & are only 50% useful to US economy than tons of people stuck in eb2 & eb3.
(i know - it is all useless discussion ; won't result in anything).

I am planning to leave my current employer and move to a different one. I have got my I-140 approved under EB3 category from the current employer. While moving to the new employer, I want to retain my priority dates. I would like to know what kind of documents are needed in order to do the same. I am presuming that a copy of I-140 approval notice would be needed from current employer that I am sure that my current employer would not give me. So what is my chance in this case? is there any way, I can get it from USCIS? Has anybody got it successfully from other than the employer? Are there any other documents , I need from my current employer. Please suggest.

Does this mean that if we do not have green cards our childern born here are not citizens. Am I understanding it right..
This bill will not even be discussed.

Can you explain in detail what your experience was and what did you get (H1 or J1)?
While I was looking for residency, one senior doctor told me that I should wait and get H1. At that time, I was so interested in getting residency at the earliest that I did not take his advice and instead got J1. It was only towards the end of my training that I realized that to get a waiver is so difficult, in my speciality branch. i had to get O1 visa first to buy time to look for J1, which I finally did in a remote western town.
Now it may be easier, since many VA hospitals are hiring for J1 conversion, which was not so at my time.
Again, if possible, try for H1.
