Hi all,
I am a consultant working on H1B and my 3rd yr of visa expires in march 2011.
Im planning to file my GC through my current employer in EB2 category(As I have a masters degree) but have following queries :
1.My company is a small company with only 2 employees i.e. me and my manager.
If i do file my GC through such a company,whats are the pros and cons e.g. any RFE expected because its a small company considering that have already had an RFE when transferring my H1B to this company earlier.
2.Can I file my GC through a different employer say my end client or any other company while im working with my current employer?
3.Considering the above situations,what is the best option for me to file my GC at tis point of time?
Also filing my GC in EB2 category will help avid processing delays as per the current trend?
Please advise.
Thanks for your time.

My company and lawyer refuse to talk to me or email me back.
I sent my completed package to the lawyer 2 weeks back, and I have not heard back from him.
The initial draft needs to be sent back by the lawyer for signatures and then the file can go out.
How do I hadle the situation?

Hello every1,
A SVP of 7 equals 2-4 years of education/training or experience (A job zone of 4 is treated as an SVP of 7.0 < 8.0).
A SVP of 8 equals 4-10 years of education/training or experience (A job zone of 5 is treated as an SVP of 8 & above).
A MS Degree is calculated as equal to a BS +2 or 4 years experience and no education.
NOW, BS + 5 / MS + 0 -- Minimum qualification for EB2..
So now a person working in Job Zone 4, which requires minimum of BS + (2-4) experience would get an entry level job at OES Level Wage 1.
So Can we conclude from this that a job which falls under job zone 4 which needs to applied for EB2(basically raise SVP to 8) would have a minimum OES Level 2 wage ????
Thank you...

I understand that when we re-enter the country using AP we will be given I-94 with the validity period just like that of AP.
So when we renew AP will they even renew the I-94?
Thank you.

This evening Congress passed historic legislation extending health coverage to more than 30 million more Americans. That�s the equivalent of adding the population of the entire country of Canada to the insurance rolls. This is going to be a monumental challenge for many reasons one of which is the fact that the country already has a severe physician shortage. According to Reuters: A growing shortage of primary care doctors could place a major burden on the U.S. healthcare system if President Barack Obama succeeds in extending medical insurance to millions of Americans who currently lack it. As healthcare legislation works...

On the heels of my May 8 post (Do Immigration Fee Revenues Drive Justice at the USCIS?), the Office of the Ombudsman to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a May 15 report criticizing the unfairness and inconsistency across USCIS offices nationwide of the agency's procedures for getting a seasoned officer to take a second look at an adjudicator's erroneous decision or action. The report, entitled "Motions Matter: Improving the Filing and Review Process for Motions To Reopen or Reconsider," affirms the point that "clear Service errors" are widespread yet unresolved problems: Rectifying clear Service error is a recurring...

Guys,
Do you think that I140 PP process will resume now since USCIS is not accepting any I485 applications until Oct 2007 ???

Recently my 140 was filed and the checks were cashed through ACH. I paid for PP and see that the checks were cashed on March 8th. My attorney has not received my receipt, I was wondering if there was anyway I can get the receipt number for the case so I can track it ...
If anyone one has cracked it, please share. Thanks in advance.

Hello Friends,
I am in 7th yr of my H1B and I have got 3 yrs extension on my H1B after
completing my 6 yrs. I have got my labour appliation and I-140 approved 1 year back and filed my I-485 in MAR'2005. My PD is Jan 2002, India EB3.
In SEP'2005, I got married and my spouse came to this country on H4 Visa.
Because of retrogresion.I couldn't file I-485 for my wife. Now I am waiting for my PD to get current to file 485 for my wife.
My question is, Can I change my employer by doing H1B Transfer. So that my
spouse wont be losing H4 Status. Also, when my PD becomes current can I ask my new employer to file 485 application for my spouse.
My lawyer has told me that filing Spouse's 485 has to be done with the same
employer who filed your application. Is it true? or Can I change my employer.
Thanks for your reply in advance

Read this else where, about I -140s being reopened and labor certification are being questioned. Is this true?
Yes, it is true that USCIS have reopened few cases wherever they have been suspecting of violations and frauds.

Hi,
Here is our situation. I am on H1 and have 485 pending for me and my wife. Both of us also have a valid EAD.
My wife was on H1 too, however since Oct'08 she relinquished her H1 status and took up another job using her EAD. Currently, we are planning to have her AP filed (her earlier AP expired in Dec'08).
Given all this, I have following questions.
a). Are there any risks associated with filing AP.
b). I presume her status has been valid so far... reason I ask is that we didn't do anything special in terms of communicating any official agency, when she jumped the boat from H1 to EAD. Were we supposed to?
c). Do you think I can get her on H4 while she continues to work using her EAD. I guess H4 option is more expensive? Any thoughts?
Appreciate any help/pointers on this.
Thanks
