I have some good news and some bad news!
The bad news is that. You will get your green card in 5 years and after other five years you will get your citizenship. So in 10 years will be in position to get married.
Now , you will be wondering what is the good news.
Well!, I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switiching to GEICO.:D

Thanks for sharing the link, I will go through this.
It is not about money. I have absolutely no problem giving even 100$s per month for the cause if I know how my hard earned money is being spend. Actions like deleting threads, banning users just for asking reports, makes people uncomfortable. Have you seen the financial report at Eb3 Chinese Financial Report - ��›-�‰�-��Œ�š秿�-‘�•�-‹信�‰˜�Ÿ��‡‘ (http://www.eb3chinese.org/5.html).
BTW, Hari if IV doesn't show you the links to donar forum, how will you know what you are missing ...
just my 2 cents.

I have created several documents and am working on a similar one as outlined below. But we need 50 people working on such items instead of one.
We have lots of ideas pouring into threads here but most are soon forgotten and not followed up on.
gc_peshwa has created a googlegroup to deal with participating on USCIS calls etc. We can add this agenda to that group to prevent creation of too many googlegroups and spreading ourselves thin. Alternatively we have a "Media" googlegroup as well which is dormant. That group could be used for this purpose.
This is interesting..i am down to help if you are looking for volunteers....I completely agree that lawmakers often overlook the advantages of temporary legal immigrants and by publishing suck documents will certainly help

I just realized that I should probably provide some more details about my situation, which must appear very confusing right now. I came to the US in 1994 with my parents. Yes, I have actually attended from first grade through college graduation here without a green card. My parents have been screwed and screwed again by their employers and the system. Right now we're on my dad's 140+485, with an RFE just sent out for the 140. Try beating our story for fucked up.
One reason I'm making this thread is that I want to make sure my judgement about whether to go or to stay is not clouded by my inherent bitterness toward the US and its government on the one hand, or by an unrealistically rosy picture of what to expect in Canada on the other.
I greatly appreciate all the honest replies that have come in.:)

Just back from a useless infopass. IO flashed 'urgent' memo (dated 8/21) circulated by uscis/dos and said effective 8/21 there is a freeze on AOS EB2i/c so wait till oct. BTW my EAD is expiring on 9/23 and renewal filed on 5/27 according to her is outside processing time (apr08). She said case is at TSC and can only sent e-mail, which may take 3-4 weeks for any response. SO all-in-all-a-waste-of-time.
No explanation for why Aug processing dates not yet out.

Employee is responsible for the accuracy of the time sheet submitted for payroll. If Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company pays you and we did not get the money from the client, he/she are responsible to reimburse Nathuram-daulathram-desi-Company all the amount that is under dispute within 5 business days. Employee is responsible for all the legal and administrative costs (attorney, collections etc) for enforcing the above terms. All disputes will be settled according to the laws of the sate of NJ.
Are you serious you want to sign something with that wording. If the employer and client have their own agreements (like delay of payment for 60 days or so), then you will be always struck with your employer until the end of this project.
This is unacceptable.
One of my friends had an agreement like this and they threatened to cancel H1B if he did not sign. Make sure you have your transfer papers ready if they take that extreme step

Once you used EAD your status is AOS. You can't go back to H4/H1 unless some bad thing happened like 485 is denied.
once started usign EAD you can't go and come on H4/H1 status...
you have to use AP for travelling. If you have a doubt talk to the atternoy that filed your 485.

I have a similar question. I have I-94 till Jan 2008 as my H1B visa is valid till Jan 2008. If I file an H1B extension in Dec, is that okay ? I know, approval would not come before Jan 08.I beleive as long as u dont hear something from USCIS u are still in status provided u filed before the expiry of ur I94.I also think they do send a new i94.

If he stayed for 180 days and used AC21 then AC21 WILL protect this person
Not exactly. That person has more leverage, even if he/she does not worked 180 days after filing 485. How? If that first guy worked considerable period of time with that employer in H1B status, and if that guy was working with that employer when that (fradulant?) employer filed LC and 140, he has a strong intent to work for that employer. In no court employer can win. Even if that guy left with in 2 months after 485 filing date, he is so safe.
Read the recent AC21 memo. It clarly says one can leave the sponsering employer before 6 months of 485 pending, if the intent is strong in both parties at the time of filing 485. The AC21 rule is that, a if 485 is not adjudicated in 180 days, it is a valid one for a new job which is similar to the orginal one. That does not mean that one has to wait atleast 6 months to change the job.
Here is the part of memo
Question 10. Should service centers or district offices deny portability cases on the sole basis that the alien has left his or her employment with the I-140 petitioner prior to the I-485 application pending for 180 days?
Answer: No. The basis for adjustment is not actual (current) employment but prospective employment. Since there is no requirement that the alien have ever been employed by the petitioner while the I-140 and/or I-485 was pending, the fact that an alien left the I-140 petitioner before the I-485 has been pending 180 days will not necessarily render the alien ineligible to port. However, in all cases an offer of employment must have been bona fide. This means that, as of the time the I-140 was filed and at the time of filing the I-485 if not filed concurrently, the I-140 petitioner must have had the intent to employ the beneficiary, and the alien must have intended to undertake the employment, upon adjustment. Adjudicators should not presume absence of such intent and may take the I-140 and supporting documents themselves as prima facie evidence of such intent, but in appropriate cases additional evidence or investigation may be appropriate.

Dear Sir,
I have 12 years of experience in IT industry and I have my I 140 approved in EB3 category.
Since I have only 3 years degree from India, I can't file the GC in EB2 category. So I have decided to do postgraduate diploma in IT management from Universitas 21 (http://www.universitas21.com/about.html). I found they are quality education provider but not aacsb accredited. So in that case after completing diploma in postgraduate can I upgrade my GC to EB2 category?
At present I am not worried about the position required for EB 2 filing because I am an architect and can easily switch to different company and get decent salary. But what I realized only job and salary won't help until I have proper education.
So it is my request to appropriately guide me aboud the eudcation perspective whether I am on right path or not. Also is diploma is sufficient or I need to masters too?
For your reference I have attached sample certificate coming out from U21 for the diploma in IT management.

This is how it should be done...
- request USCIS to port your PD from already approved I-140 from past employer
USCIS may or may not do it for you
- if not apply for I-485 using Category of 2nd (should be EB2) and PD from 1st one. You need to attach both of these with I-485 application and of course a covering letter stating what you are doing.
Here is the extract from the law -
QUOTE
(3) Priority Date Based on Earlier Petition.
If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example:
Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification.
UNQUOTE
Disclaimer -
I am not a lawyer and this is not a legal advise. You may want to talk a immigration attorney for exact interpretation
Now why I suggested you yesterday not to do it -
2nd option - may seem like you would be adjudicated using PD from 1st and Category from 2nd (EB2). But this is what USCIS is telling me know-
we would approve your application if either of these PD gets current in their respective categories.
Kid! you got it now...:rolleyes:

Hi friend,
1st question). As per immigration rules,if ur birth is registered on or after 1year of ur birth till date,u got to submit two additional sworn affidavits along with the birth certificate as proof.
So in ur case since ur birth was registered in 2005 and got a new birth certificate in 2005 u need to submit the following :
Birth certificate(which u have now with u..issued in august 2005)
+
Two sworn affidavits from any two blood relatives(mom,dad,siblings,aunt,uncle) older and get notarised
by any attorney/magitrate.The following is the format.
************************************************** ********
AFFIDAVIT REGARDING BIRTH
I __________________ (name) being the _________________ (relationship father, mother, sister, brother, aunt, uncle), to ______________ (FN name), reside at ___________________ (address, including country), do hereby solemnly affirm and state on oath as follows:
I declare that _________________ is my (son/daughter/brother/sister/niece/
nephew). He/She was born on __(Date)_____ in (town, country) and that ______________ (father’s name) is his/her father and _____________ (mother’s name) is his/her mother.
______________________________
Signature of Deponent
AFFIDAVITS MUST BE PROVIDED BY TWO (2) BLOOD RELATIVES, (MOTHER, FATHER, AUNT, UNCLE), AND THIS DOCUMENT MUST BE WITNESSED AND STAMPED BY AN ADVOCATE/NOTARY FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF YOUR COUNTRY.
************************************************** ********
Note :
whatever be the case,combined affidavit will not work.Please ask any two of ur blood relations to give them individually.in my case My dad gave me one affidavit and my aunt gave me one affidavit,coz my mom was in usa that time with me.please check with ur lawyer.this format was 2months old format.i got it done in May 2007.
2 question).Name spelling mispelt in birth certificate needs a combined affidavit from parents and notarised.
Please check with ur lawyer too,

I see that currently there are 57 members and 195 guests currently. I understand that there might be people from anti immigration groups browsing through as well. Ignoring them,How about sending an online pop up message requesting the guest to register as a member and contribute if they want? I am just trying to tap those guys in who are a bit lazy or silent observers who are reticent and come out only on the day when they got their LC approved or something significant happens. We ill make it a point on the pop up that membership does matter and its not mandatory that they contribute.
