it might sound cliched by now, but what IV has achieved so far is truly unbelievable, especially given the historical laissez-faire attitude of our community.Remember what this group is essentially about : a bunch of people fighting for their just cause within their limited rights in an alien country. Its a huge pity that all those folks who think of IV and their GC as their entitlement get a free ride through the blood and sweat of a handful of people, whom they accuse of incompetance and worse. Great job core team .. with all this effort, success of some sort is inevitable.

I'm in a similar situation:
EB2 LC Priority Date: August 25, 06
I-140 pending
Received I-1485 receipt notice and EAD
I-485 Reciept Date: August 1st, 07
I want to do an internal move from the position of "Software Engineer, Test Automation" to "Software Engineer, Webapp Developer". The job duties are similar but not exactly the same. Also, the job qualifications for the first job required BS + 5 (which I don't have yet) or MS (which I have). My company specifically made it this way for me. But the job qualifications for the new job is just BS + 3 (this is apparently not EB2). But now they are not willing to change the job qualifications for the new job to be EB2 since they have to do recruiting/advertisement reports, etc. for the new position.
My lawyer says its illegal to change job duties w/o notifying USCIS. They say I cannot do that even with an approved EAD. Is this true? If so, is there any USCIS documentation backing this.
Thank you for all the great work you guys do.

Thanks for your kind reply. Yes this amount of 40K is what i saved from my salary after my employer deducts taxes via withholding. I am confused because I read that you have to declare any foriegn accounts help while filling for taxes here in US. I made these trasnfers to my dad's account and I dont have any NRI account. I am not sure if I will fall into this category and have to declare all this. Thanks again for your help.
You dont fall in to that category and as several members mentioned you dont have to pay taxes for remittances as you already paid tax while earning it.

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 ;) ...

It is FBI that is responsible for namecheck ... not sure USCIS has any control over them. My understanding is I-485 premium processing would apply only to USCIS processing of the paperwork.
Then, of course, it won't help much because for most people name check is taking 2 years, and 485 processing via the regular route takes less time than that.

Hi,
My parents will be here for more than 184 days this year (on visitors vis) and I want to claim them as dependats on my tax return for next year.I searched through some old threads, but the info seems to be outdated.
* Can I claim them as dependants on my tax return?
* Has anybody done this successfuly before?
* What is the deduction amount per person/dependant?
* What is the process? I know they will need an ITIN etc.
Regards
Nick
Yes, You can certainly do that. If it would have been Year 2000 it was very simple but now in year 2007 it's bit tedious. I am Trying to explain as under. And this is not a legal advice just an opinion.
Rule:
-----
More than 180 days stay in USA (You will have to prove that) is a MUST condition for getting ITIN. The key is more than 180 days. It does not tell that stay should be continuous.
How to do it?
------------
1) Have US MULTIPLE ENTRY Visitor visa, generally 6 months visa are
granted. But that is 180 days not more than 180 days. No Problem.. Go to
step 2
2) During first stay of 6 months of stay in USA, get Canadian Vistor visa and
send your parents to Canada on the day before the last day of the
first stay.
3) After some days invite your parents back to USA. This will most probably a
another 6 month grant.
4) Do not call IRS for applying ITIN
5) Search for the bank in your area which requires and processes ITIN
application directly with IRS for the application of opening checking/savings
bank account for the people who do not have social security number. Every state and major city has such kind of
banks. Your regular bank may not be autorized by IRS to apply for ITIN on behalf of its
customer.
6) Go to that bank and tell the manager to open a checking account for
Visitor visa holder and from that point onwards bank will take care of.
7) Wait for 15 to 20 days and you will have your Parents ITINs mailed to you.
8) And in next return you will be able to claim them as dependent.
Note: Guys who did in year 2000 around did not have to take this tedious route. So you mayl get both kind of opinions in this forum. If somebody says just apply to IRS tehn that guy probably might have done it in at least 4 years back. But nowadays you may have to do as I worte. Take the advise from your CPA.

Hi,
Thanks for your advice. I believe that my employer has no problem to write me a recommendation letter or sign support letter.
Do you believe I have a chance or not ? which one?
Thanks,
John
Your profile does not sound enough for either EB1-OR (aka EB1-B aka EB1-2) or EB2-NIW. As pointed out before, if your employer is unwilling to "sponsor" you (i.e., not willing to sign a support letter), then you can go only with either EB1-EA or EB2-NIW. All other categories, including EB1-OR require sponsorship from the employer. In general, the lowest non-retrogressed preference level is the best bet. If you were born in Egypt, then that is EB2 (standard EB2 sponsored by your employer). For people who were born in India and (mainland) China, it is EB1.

Hi all,
Thanks for the responses and sorry for Confusions..
I am giving the scenario more clearly..
My name Before mariz is"Venkata Naga Sunita" surname: "Prachina" (changed identity).
After mariz surname changed to "Naveena".
When I applied for H4 alongwith my husband's H1B, I had my passport with old surname(Prachina). That passport got stamped for H4. Later I got another passport with surname changed(Naveena). At this point, I have one passport of old surname with H4 stamp and another passport with new surname.
While entering into US this January, on I-94, I wrote "Venkata Naga Sunita" Last name: "Naveena". In March, DMV ppl told me that the name in the I-94 should match with Visa". When, I applied for H1B in May with this new surname and attached this I-94 that has new surname "Naveena".
During H1B processing, I had to visit my home country on emergency purpose and got approval of H1B on Sept 7th, which is valid only from Oct 2nd. I re-entered to US on Sept10th and wrote my last name as "Prachina" on I-94(to match with current H4 Visa with which I am entering US). When I recived my papers this week, I was happy to see that my Change of Status is approved and surprised to see that my name on the I-797 and attached I-94 is printed as "Sunita V" Last Name:"Naveena".
Now, the I-94 number and name that are present on my I-797 are not matching that are attached to my passport. Is this OK or going to create any problems in future(SSN or stamping)..

how long usually the deadline is ? if it takes ~ 2 weeks for the letter to get to the lawyer I would guess the deadline would be at least 6 weeks???
if there's not enough time do you think we can ask more time? e.g the case of asking additional experience letter from a friend/employer outside the country.

L1 A are managerial positions. they can apply in EB1 through employer. Hence it is possible to get GC in Green Cards.What he is saying is true.
L1 A are managerial positions
L1 B are like H1B except they worked for their parent company for a period of 1 year or more out of US
L2 's get EAD within 8-12 weeks and they can start working.
But unless he uses GC and get out of that company, he wont be earning near to minimum H1 B wages.
Satyam pays L1B only 41K. that's pathetic. Same with Wipro, Infosys, TCS , they are misers for L1 and H1B for employees.

Just trying to sum up the situation from USCIS perspective...
1) DOS releases July visa bulletin making all EB categories current (except for other workers)...hoping to force the USCIS to adjudicate cases and avoid wasting visa numbers as in previous years
2) This infuriates USCIS, and for whatever reasons (this has been debated enough already), they decide to use up all the FY2007 visa numbers in June itself and then force the DOS to revise the July bulletin in June itself...so no one can file in July.
3) Unfortunately, they run into issues going through with their plan of using up all visa numbers in June
4) July 1st and morning of July 2nd...they still are working frantically to use up the numbers to avoid new July filers. But by now, it is July already and they have failed in their original mission (see 2 above). Now they start panicking and do some dumb stuff (in violation of their own regulations). They approve I-485's of some folks who were ready for approval (processing complete and FBI check cleared), but whose dates were not current. They also pre-requested some numbers for folks whose dates were current, but processing was not complete i.e. FBI check was not cleared.
5) Late morning July 2nd: By requesting all available numbers from DOS and exhausting FY2007 quota, they forced DOS to revise the July bulletin, which was unprecedented.
6) July 5th and later: It is now post July-2nd, and USCIS still has cases for which they pre-requested numbers. Now the problem is that even if the FBI check comes through for those cases, they cannot approve them because technically, all numbers have been used up for FY 2007. So they start returning numbers to DOS. They also decide NOT the send the applications of people who filed on July 2nd or later back while they decide on the next course of action...
I think this will have major implications for both USCIS and DOS. The key for USCIS was to exhaust visa numbers on or before June 29th to achieve their obejective without repercussions...and force DOS to revise the bulletin in June itself...and they failed miserably at it.
And now they will have to pay. I know some people are thinking please let USCIS just sweep it under the carpet and just allow us to file our cases...no harm done. But I diasgree...what they have done is shameful. And they should be made to pay for playing with our lives. They should never be able to even think of doing something like this again. And their operations should have direct congress/DOS oversight so they cannot get away with snail-paced processing wasting visas ever again...

It appears that most of the one sided agreeements mentioned above are not legal. For eg if in ur offer letter u have 2 weeks of notice period from your side and company says they can termniate you without any notice period then its not legal.
I think only 2 side agreements are legal and all other agreements even if you sign are not legal.
(pls confirm with ur lawyer ...)
Yes , i am with you.
LostInGCProcess , whats you said is also right in few cases, But in cases of employment it could not be.
If i ask a person to sign on a piece of contract , to be my slave ..Would it be legal :-)

Hi Guys,
My LCA has Computer Software Engineer as job title.I have 5 years of Experience as Oracle functional consultant.Currently I'm working as Oracle consultant.My 140 is approved and got my EAD card.In jan 2008 it will be 180 days of filing 485.I want to change my career towards IT Sales.
I have an offer from an American Staffing company as a Technical Recruiter.The job responsibilities include hiring Software Engineers.But the job title is different from my LCA.I want to join this company using EAD in jan 2008 and apply AC 21.Today I have checked with my Lawyer this is what she says"
In instances such as this, when we send the letter to the USCIS regarding AC21, we include the following details with reference to the job title. … Although the job title differs, the job duties are substantially the same. The title used by the company is their internal designation for this position."
She says that i will be able to work as Technical Recruiter using EAD.Any one can suggest me on this?I have very little knowledge about AC 21 and how it works
Thanks in advance

Hmm, I am an oracle apps programmer too, although my job is more technical and less functional. Recruiting talent is a whole different job role than working as a functional Oracle apps consultant. Functional jobs (Oracle or SAP) is pretty much business analyst job, in my opinion.
Now, you may use the same knowledge as you do, but still, its a different role and I think its highly risky to do this change. For example, let's say, you use same knowledge to work as a professor of computer science in University or as a practicing software solutions provider. IN both cases, you use same talent to do your job and use same knowledge and skills. But TEACHING is different job and providing software solutions is a different job.
Same way, staffing/recruiting is different from doing functional analysis and I would be surprised if the job descriptions match close enough to fit in same job code. Try to get a good lawyer to match the job descriptions and interpret them into job code and see if the job codes are the same.
