The only issue I see with using H1/H4 visa for re-entry is that if your I-485 is approved while you are outside US and you use H1/H4 for re-entry, it invalidates your GC and you have to start all over again. You either need to have your GC or an approved AP in hand when you re-enter US in this scenario...
That is not true. You should have no problem re-entering if you have a valid Visa or AP, even when GC is approved. Technically, you have to be first "admitted" and then the green card status takes effect. you have to show the IO at POE, the latest I-485 status if you have, which they can always check in their system.

thanks, it sure clarifies things.. and from what I read, these applications work in parallel. RFE on one application has no efffect on the other one. you just have to wait for one of them to come through, mostly probably EB1A. once you get approved on EB1A, they will cancel the remaining 2 applications. Good luck..
There is a reason for multiple I 140s in my case. There are benefits to each of them:
1. EB2 PERM based: already have it approved.
2. EB2 NIW:
3. EB1A (My best bet!)
Hope this clarifies....

Firstly, i would like to thank you for replying to my question. Please find the below email sent by my lawyer today:
As per our conversation, attached are the two lists that you can review.
Starting from November 1st *Onet has changed the positions for software professionals, please find information below according to *Onet http://online.onetcenter.org/
There are no EB2 positions available for the Software professionals, only EB3 positions are available. However as we discussed earlier if the company has a business necessity and are able to produce the documents for the business necessity you can file the case under EB2, which is still beyond the requirement according to Labor Department.
Thanks for sharing this info, you mentioned two lists? where is the second one?
One thing is clear, this is going to affect future petitions, any idea on the approved/existing cases?

Thanks all for the replies.
Here are more details.
My receipt no. is starting with WAC. I had already got transfer notice in September 2007 about getting transferred to NSC as they have juridiction over my case.
Thanks
Yep..but in typical USCIS efficiency, many cases were never actually transferred but kept at CSC, although LUDs were sent out. I know because I received the same email twice. The attorney was confused with all this and fllowed up through the AILA liasion when we came to know that many packets were prepared for shipping but were never sent (i guess NSC ran out of shelf space?) so I still think it is not a big deal and wouldn't lose sleep over it.

IV has been doing a great job, we should all be proud of being a part of it.
I came across this post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10316).
I think we should keep fighting till our goal is met. Can IV core team shed some light whether recapturing the unused visa numbers is ever possible ? Even if there is slightest change, we should NOT GIVE UP and work towards it. I've read that USCIS have so far wasted upto 600,000 EB visa numbers.
Now we are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel for multi year EAD or EAD validity during the period of AOS(I-485). Should we roll up our sleeves and work for the recapture of unused visa numbers ? How to make this happen, Please share your thoughts and ideas.
LETS NOT STOP UNTIL WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE!

Please be careful before making allegations. There is nothing morally or legally wrong about planning your taxes. Do you claim your spouse or kids as your dependents in your taxes? Why is it wrong to get an exemption for your parents whom you support with your earnings?

There is nothing wrong with anyone getting a green card but the process should be fair. There is nothing fair about getting GC within 6 months while people are waiting in line for 6- 8 years. All those who are getting in 6 months - good for them but the system should address it fairly. Its high time they look into it specially with retrogession coming into the picture.
I agree, It is actually high time that we call our lawmakers and let them know about how broken it is. They have no clue about all of this. So yes, we need to make it fair, we need to be proactive and START CALLING OUR LAWMAKERS.

Are there any runners, joggers, walkers out there? Has anyone heard of running teams like Team Leukemia, Team AIDS, Race for the Cure - Team Susan G Komen??
Well, I would like to propose a Team IV. There would be a nominal fee, say $50 or $75, to join the walking/running club and you would get one running T shirt (with IV logo) to wear at local runs/walks. This way we get our name out in the community. And just like Team Leukemia, each Team IV member will conduct 1 fundraising event per quarter or per 6 months. At the end of the fundraising year, we should donate a portion of our collections to a local or national charity. The donation will come from Immigration Voice. This way, Immigration Voice members have another reason to be proud of what we bring to the plate as employment based legal immigrants.
If there is such a running/walking team out there, please let me know as I would love to join and support the cause. If there is interest to establish such a Team, please let me know.

Administrative Fix-IT campaign
No. It's not a typo. USCIS indeed needs to help us in order to help itself. With the recent campaign by Immigration Voice to request the administration to pass certain measures that would immensely help the High Skilled Legal Immigrant community, USCIS can legitimately and administrative improve its processes, so that it can go back and do what it does the best - Adjudicate immigration applications.
Despite the reality of a huge economic deficit to be borne by the new administration, the Inspector General recently cautioned Congress about the impending backlogs caused by outdated policies and the slow pace of IT modernization of USCIS. One statement in particular stands out - USCIS has come out with plans to modernize its processes, but these plans are pending approval.
Quote : Until USCIS improves IT management and operations, the USCIS will not be in a position to either effectively manage existing workloads or handle the potentially dramatic increase in immigration benefits processing workloads that could result from proposed immigration reform legislation - Oh Law Firm
The current administration should pass these administrative fixes in order to better the main purpose of USCIS.
Some of the fixes include -
1. Recapture administratively the unused visas for permanent residency to fulfill the congressional mandate of 140,000 green cards per year.
Due to processing delays, USCIS is forced to waste approx. 20,000 visas allocated for the Employment Based Permanent Residency process. This measure will indeed help USCIS to process and clear the backlog once and for all.
2. Revise the administrative definition of "same or similar" to allow slight additional job flexibility for legal immigrants awaiting adjudication of adjustment of status (I-485) petitions.
By strictly defining job categories, legal immigrants are subjected to undue hardship and career stagnation. When a legal immigrant decides to move to another job with a different (and usually better) position, he/she is forced to start the legal immigration application cycle again, causing more paperwork and process cycles on USCIS's part. One way of Simplifying the process is to relax or broaden the definition of "same or similar" job description while applying for a visa during a job change. Imagine stuck in the same job for 6-10 years because federally mandated visa numbers are not available but you have been successfully approved to get one.
3. Allow filing of Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) when a visa number is not available.
Form I-485 is the last step of the Permanent Residency process. This step is required in order for a legal immigrant's status to be adjusted to that of a Permanent Resident. Without this step, applicants cannot apply for I-485 and have to wait until visa numbers are available.
4. Implement the existing interim rule to allow issuance of multi-year Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) and Advance Parole.
EAD or Employment Authorization Document is a temporary status allowing the applicant to work for any employer until the immigrant's 485 application is adjudicated. AP or Advanced Parole allows a applicant who is waiting for his/her I-485 to be adjudicated, to travel to his/her home country in the event of an emergency. Both these documents are available for a hefty sum and are valid only for 1 year. With recent backlog estimates at 800,000 applications, USCIS has to endure tremendous workload by renewing these documents once a year. By issuing documents valid for 3 years, this burden can help USCIS focus better on other adjudication work.
5. Allow visa revalidation in the United States.
Visa revalidation, per the State department, is required to be done outside the US at a consular post in an immigrant's home country. This causes undue burden on the legal immigrant.
6. Reinstate premium processing of Immigrant Petitions.
For those employers looking for a quick adjudication to an immigrant employee's petition to work, premium processing has been a god send. Premium processing forces the employer to pay more in order to receive an expedited decision on the petition. Premium processing was suspended due to receipting backlogs after the July 2007 Visa Bulletin fiasco. Now that the receipting backlogs are over, USCIS should now reinstate premium processing for immigrant petitions.
In-house cleanup of the USCIS by embracing the above administrative fixes will immensely help USCIS realign its purpose of adjudicating visa and permanent residency petitions rather spend a good portion of its time working on supporting "pending state" measures.
I sincerely request everyone to write to the President.
