it is not luck or wishful thinking, it is legislation that is needed to get things our way? For this to happen, IV has to continue its efforts and for that to happen, all of you (if you already are, ignore) should consider becoming contributing members of IV and share some of the advocacy efforts of IV.
You up for the challenge? If not, please wither away ;)

Hi,
I am working in US on L1 and my company would start my green card filling in next few months.
I also have valid H1B pettion stamped and can switch to H1B which would mean that I can work freely here at US.
But many of my friends told me that green card processing is faster on L1.
I am not able to make decision whether I should continue working on L1 or change my status to H1 to get better hike and more opportunity.
Pls can anyone tell me which would be wise choice. Is green card processing for L1 visa is faster?
Thanks in advance.
~Greeta
depends on whether you are on L1B or L1A. On L1A - i have seen many GCs getting approved (from 140 filing to GC in hand) in 6 months or less.
of course - your lawyer and/or employer needs to ascertain whether your role here and also in the country where you were employed by same employer qualifies you for EB1C filing or not.......
Of course, this is not legal advice but only anecdotal experience

This is very promising and can help our IV team to press on for relief provisions for Skilled workers already here.
Good luck to us all.
They(mainly republicans) all want guest workers which their corporate
patrons can misuse and no green card.

I don't think the flaw is with Labor substitution per se. The problem is with the assignment of labor's original priority date to the new substituted alien.
An individual gets attached to the labor at the I140 stage, and thats the date they should use for substituted labor applications. This along with Perm's (ideal) processing times would make labor substitution insignificant.

Yes, if my LC will get approved in the iterim, I might be safe, but with no time left on the H1-B, and with the reduction of salary that will be applied very soon, I don''t think this is going to happen. Unless, as you said, I won't be lucky enough to get approved really soon.
Again your LC approval has no direct connection with what you are being paid currently. LC is for future job so I find it unlikely that DOL will factor your current salary in any way. They may consider your employer's ability to pay the stated salary on LC based on their finacial situation but your current pay stub should not matter.
Does that answer your question?

Deall All,
Thanks for your replies...i hope you gurus can shed some light into my situation:
labor(EB3) priority date 18 jan07.
I -140 has been approved june 25 2007.
I - 485 ucsis filing date july 19th 2007
EAD recvd Oct 16th 2007 valid till 3rd oct 2008
fingerprinting scheduled nov 7th 2007
H1 and H4 for me & my wife expires may 20th 2008
Here are my questions:
1. My present employer is under a divestiture process. Can i change employers as long as its a similar job? If so, do I apply for a H1 extension or should i work on EAD? (Note: I havent crossed the magical 180 days on the I-485 yet)
2. I have not received my advance parole docs yet but im planning on visiting india in april-may 2008. Assuming i get my AP can i visit India and return to the states and be working for a different employer (company B) other than the original employer (company A) who was my employer when i applied for my I-140, I485 etc?
3. Upon my return if the inspecting officer asks who the petitioner is/was do i tell them that, while i filed for the I-485 i was with company A but i am currently working for Company B? How do i handle this scenario?
4. If I do find another job, but not a "similar" job, then I'd have to file labor again right? If thats the case, will the current I-140 still hold good? Can I file for a second labor while working on EAD / AP? I guess my question really is: Can i file for another labor under EB2 to expedite my priority date? Then can i use my old I-140 which has been approved? What about the I-485? do i need to apply another one?
Thanks for your replies.

Best thing to do in this case is, simply use your AP. No H1b stamping is needed. You can still remain on an H1B even if you use the AP for travelling.
As per my lawyer, the H1B has 2 aspects to it. One is the fact that it maintains status, the second is the actual stamped visa which allows entry/re-entry into the USA. You dont HAVE to have the stamped visa, if you have alternate means of re-entry.
I work for Company A, applied i-485 and both got EAD & AP.She is the dependent.
My Wife works for Company B which sponsored her H1.
So, I guess she cannot continue to work on H1(company B) upon returning using AP(got as my dependent thru Company A) !!!?? am I correct?

Point taken.
I did look under the visa bulletin section of the forums, I did not see anything on pages 1 and 2 so I posted.
But, point taken.
Mocking me so much shows you in bad taste, my friends.
This is the last thing you will see me posting here.
And it is a "her".
You lied! ;). You posted one more time.
Fortunately or unfortunately on this forum, saying this is your last post doesnt make people become nicer to you :)

Saileshdude,
Can you eloborate more on this? My understanding is that once you use EAD, H1 is gone for good. And particularly How one can revert back to H1 if EAD is used to join different employer?
This I think comes from AC21 regulations as well as one of the AC21 memos that were released. It mentions that a person can get H1 beyond 6 years even though they are not maitaining the H status as long as they can prove that their GC is pending . This may include pending I-485. I think the memo says that person need not maintain H status to get extension beyond 6 years without being counted against quota.
I think the H1 can be filed but since you are on EAD, you will not get I-94. This means that you will need to go out and get the H1 stamped and re-enter to get back on H status.
Again, various attorneys differ on this too. So consult few good attorneys for this would be good idea.

Hi Friends,
This is first time I am posting this topic here. Please excuse me if this is wrong post or question at this time.
Today my sister got a phone call from a Detective saying that she is suspecting on Jewelery theft from a neighborhood. We shocked for getting that type of call. The person who complainted is close to my family. He is also Indian and from same region. Recently he moved from my city. He lost couple of jewelery items this year.
My sister is very good and try to help most of the people nearby. The detective said that investigation is going on for this issue. We are so worrying on this issue.
We know she is genuine and did not do anything but my question is any problem in green card process?.
How to prove my sister is not commited such kind of activity. Please try to help me on this
Thanks
Ramkrishna

Now my last option is to apply for AP for my wife while she is in India.
Can I apply for AP when she is in India?
I don't think so. While the form allows for someone to apply for anyone outside US, but I think that's only for emergency/temporary travel due to their inability to attend a visa interview.

My son is an U.S citizen (4 years old) and my Attorney successfully filed a petion on behalf of me and mywife.
But that petion is based on EB2 :p
Hi there,
IV seems to be a terrific service to the immigration community. Kudos to the people who work hard to make it work.
Has anyone heard of cases where immigration lawyers have successfully petitioned on behalf of parents of a US baby (way before the age of 18) to become GC holders or citizens?
