hello,
during the july 2007 fiasco i applied for i485 and i got my ead and ap, but i have not used the ead and still using and maintaining my h1.
Here is my dilemma, 2 years ago i went to india and used my ap when entering us though i had a valid h1 but i did not get the visa stamped and after entering us on ap i am still using and maintaining my h1 and not using ead. Recently i also got a 3 year extension on my h1.
Now i am applying for my new ap as the old one is expired. My question to you gurus is what should i put in the "class of admission" field? Shall i put the aos or h1?

The other issue with sticking onto the current job is that the employer (if big corp) has a clause that says that you cannot work on any tech that you use in your job, external to the company. "Conflict of Interest" etc.

Thanks kshitijnt.......
After posting my question here I was searching on the net and came across This doc (Topic # 4) (http://www.murthy.com/mb_pdf/mar1904.pdf) which states that......
USCIS is seeking for the current immigration status and not the one we entered on.
The above referenced document is pretty old and I don't know how far it is reliable....any insights?

On Thomas most of the amendments were ordered to "lie on the table". If these amendments are not considered most of the sponsors & co-sponsors of these amendments may not support the final bill. That would be a good thing for us. Blessing in disguise!!

Thanks Totoro.
Can Totoro (or anybody) answer this question?
We filed married filing joingly and received our tax returns and no stimulus rebate. Can we re-file our tax return by filing separately this year (i.e. extension/amendment within 3 months?) Has anyone done this? Please let me know.
I noticed that if you itemize your deductions, you dont loose much even if you file "married filing separately".
Thanks!

Transfer of the Earlier Priority Date : EB3 to New EB2
�MurthyDotCom
The ability to transfer priority dates from an earlier, approved, I-140 to a later-filed I-140 could provide an alternative for job mobility, both within the current employer's organization or with a new employer. This would be helpful for those who want to make a change but are not eligible to file the I-485 application because of retrogression. It also could help people who are eligible to change from an EB3 classification to EB2. One would be eligible to request a transfer of the priority date from the earlier-filed EB3 petition to a new EB2 petition once the I-140 is approved. The new EB2 petition would need to be based upon a new LC for a position requiring the EB2 level of education and/or experience. (Over time, many people with EB3 cases have become eligible for EB2 cases due to increased experience and/or education, and promotions.)
This strategy potentially could shave off a few years in the queue for available immigrant visa numbers. This may be particularly appealing to those who had EB3 labor certifications filed on their behalf long ago and have had their cases pending while they have gained advanced degrees, acquired several more years of experience, and/or are offered jobs at higher levels. Keep in mind, though, that this involves filing a whole new LC under the PERM system for a new job opportunity and that the employer must actually require the additional degree and/or experience for all persons holding that job classification in order for the new case to be filed as EB2.

To give a simple example, our company is looking for people in Australia, Denmark, Finland, Canada and UK since the pool of qualified people in India has dried up in our field.
Can anyone guess where is the biggest talent pool? Nope, not in Bangalore, its right here in USA!! Not all companies are looking for the cheapest person. They are looking for the best person. And in many cases, the best person is already here, and has gathered more experience over the years working for US companies.
But they cannot hire her, simply because she is on a visa and thereby beholden to another company. If she had a GC, that would free up the talent pool and thereby make many companies less reliant on H1Bs.
Increasing GCs for EB candidates has the same effect as increasing H1 quota, with the added benefit of making the cream of the crop available and reducing the uncertainty and hassle of hiring an H1.
Please blog the above at One Easy Fix For Immigration (http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/jun2007/db20070620_915353.htm).
To all, please blog clear + strong argumennts (like above) at the above site and all similar sites.

I also got the same letter from USCIS today.
Where is the core who advised us to fax letter to USCIS. Please let us know what the action plan is ?
I am ready for $25.
I think we need to contact Ombudsman with this letter. This is ridiculuous.

Your argument is that the country quotas help limit nepotism and discrimination based on national origin. However, this is already prohibited under DOL rules if you look at form ETA-750A. Therefore, if this is happening, it means there is a failure in the labor certification system to prevent this type of discrimination. Also, nepotism is not all bad as the Clintons and Bushes have been demonstrating :D.
The country quota owes its origin and sustenance to deep national insecurities around race. It will change eventually as the makeup of the nation changes over time. In the short term we will see movement as the UK bumps up against the 7% limit.
Honestly speaking; if the laws were followed the way they were meant to be; it would be extremely, extremely difficult to get h-1b; labor processing and 140's approved.
Right now USCIS, DOL and consulates are really after people. Be careful what you wish for; there are a lot of things under the carpet.

My company started the PERM process for me about 2.5 months ago. I contacted Fragomen about 1.5 months after approvals within the company and they said they are working on establishing min requirements for the position. I then contacted them 3 weeks after that day and they said they have established the requirement and will request the DOL for prevailing wage info (this was 2 weeks ago). After which they are going to start the recruitment process. So I'm not sure if the time line is okay or should I be chasing them more frequently? Please advise.

Nat

Not so fast buddy. We are not on forums 24/7
The thread was posted last night and how can you expect instant reply.:D
In future if someone wants to reach us if you have any question, it is better to directly contact us rather than posting on the forum as we do not read every post.
A couple of people who got the letters have already emailed us and let us all review the letter to see if we are getting what we need from this request. Let us all agree if we want to pursue this and contribute towards this. Once we have enough people, we can go forward.
This is one of the positive steps that we have taken here and glad that we got the response from CIS. So now IV needs to get expose this letter as public as possible to get the USCIS tactics out (senate, congress, president, dhs head and all in the world). And if need be that we all need to contribute to the money they are asking. This is the good one.

Yes, every outraged indian should send an email to Air France. The content of that should clearly indicate that they will never fly Air France again due to these "racial" discrimination allegations.
That should teach them a lesson.

There will have to be exemptions for universities and non-profit organizations.. If a university wants to hire a post-doc for 30k per annum salary on H1b - no one has 5000$ to pay everytime they renew H1b! Not the university, not the post-doc, not the research grant! The other H1 restrictive provisions (in regards to consulting etc) do not affect universities and hospitals.

I also heard a lot of different things from some of my friends not sure if all of them are true or not. I have heard that people who did Labor substitution or converted from EB3 to EB2 are getting unusually high number of RFEs compared to others. Also DOL seems to be tightening up and scrutinizing EB2 applications vigorously(this is hear say don't take my word for this). Personally the one fact that I can vouch for from my experience with my family and vast circle of friends that did apply for Green cards is that people with a straight forward EB2 application had much higher chances of getting approved even with a later priorty date. I know four friends with a PD of June 2005 EB2(and many more with earlier PDs) from one retrogressed country who got green cards during that 1 month in July 2007 when all the dates were current. But I also have several friends who are either EB3 to EB2 conversion or EB3 with much earlier PDs (2002/2003) who unfortunately are still waiting for their I 485 approval even with an earlier PDs(most of them even did PERM Labor with transfer of PD or EB3 to EB2). many of them are still replying for RFE for one or the other issue. Does having a complicated application with EB3 to EB2 transfers/ Labor substitution delay the processing or lead to more scrutiny from USCIS? I don't know. I would like to know more from the other friends in the forum who have received RFE recently regarding their experiences. Also any straight forward EB2 filers who got RFEs please post your experience.
