mallu is right. H1B status expires immediately when a person stops working. An employer is required by law to notify the USCIS about a lay off and the USCIS revokes H1B as of that date. There is no grace period, so the only chance to preserve H1 status is to find a new job and file H1B transfer BEFORE the lay off. Preserving I-485 is a different story and you are in a good shape regarding GC. Just find a new job, use EAD and stop worrying about H1 status. It does not worth the hassle and you may not get any benefits from H1.

I reuquested my employer to file appeal for 140 denial, but they are not doing it and saying they didn't the denial notice by mail i.e. papaer copy.
We called USCIS several times and they have mailed copies several times.
Looks like my employer might have got it, but saying not received.
So I lost hopes on this and moved on to a different employer.
I have another backup labor (PD-Dec'2004) and filed 140 last year ~ Feb.
Now I moved to a different employer with this backup 140 and it is EB3 still pending with USCIS. Even though this is EB3, it has the Bachelors mentioned in the qualifications. So I am just doubtful on this one too.

I got my stamping till 2010 based on my I-140. I did that to save another visit to embassy when I go out of country and its costing me dearly. The visa stamp clearly mentions the effective dates from both 797s. So the officer asked for both 797s and stamped the end date from the current one. As he sounded positive that I can update it at my local USCIS, I didn't persuade him much. Maybe I should've done that!!!
Why did you show him the previous 797 anyways? Doesn't the previous 797 get invalidated the moment you get a new 797?

Hello friends,
Of late everybody is talking about bad economy. I mean its all over the TV and newspapers. Apparently we are in a recession since past one year (since Dec 2007).
However, odd it may though sound, I don't see any real economic slowdown in IT sector. I mean all my friends and acquaintances in IT industry in the US and India are retaining their jobs. I recently talked to my IT recruiter and she told me that as far as she is concerned this year has been like any other years. Bit sluggish at the year end, but loads of requirements lined up for January next year.
Am I the only one who is feeling this way, or others also sensing the same thing. Maybe the real jolts are still lying in the future, in the coming year. Or may be its just a hoax. I would love to know other people's observation on this strange anomaly between what is being reported in the media, and what is being observed on the ground.
Sargon please update your profile with correct information instead of faking as EB1 from a ROW country stuck since 2003.

In continuation to the below thread, I was asked to start a new thread
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24403
Below is my question, please find some time to respond
I currently working on H1 for the last 5 years.
I am a July 2007 I-485 filer and have my I-140 approved.
From what I read from the above thread -
1. Does it make sense to fill an I-9 form with the same employer and start working on EAD, instead of burning my remaining period in H1?
2. That way even if for some reason my I-485 gets rejected, I can continue working by switching to H1?
Thoughts....

All,
Please use this opportunity to contact Congressmen and White House - it's extremely easy and simple to do so! All you have to do is fill in your address and send a message which will automatically be faxed to each of the targeted Congressmen as well as the White House. I just spent the following message - feel free to use this as a template:
Subject: "What is the RoadMap for reforming Legal Immigration Process?"
Message: "I am writing today to express deep concern about the legal immigration process! Are you aware that there are over a million legal and highly skilled applicants,who have been working in this country legally and paying taxes, but are waiting in line for an Employment based Green Card, some for over 8 years? A majority of these Legal Immigrants have been impacted by horribly slow administrative processing by the Deparment of Labor between 2002-2006 which resulted in the pipeline for Legal Immigration becoming clogged at that time. Now that obstacle has been finally been cleared, the line of Legal Immigrants is coming up against annual limits to Legal Immigration (both overall and country based) followed by the USCIS. This is directly a result of the Deparment of Labor dragging its heels and holding up applications during over the years mentioned above, resulting in several hundreds of thousands of visa numbers going unused during that time. I request you to act now to relieve the pain and suffering of these Legal Immigrants by recapturing those unused Visa Numbers and allowing these Legal Immigrants to progress through the Immigration System.
This reform will strengthen the rights of all workers, value families, hold employers accountable, and move America forward. During the election, President Obama pledged to reform our nation's immigration laws in just this way. I am writing today because I want to see the plan to get this done.
Please let me know what the road map looks like to passing immigration reform. Our families, our communities, and our economy cannot wait any longer for this urgent reform.
Sincerely,"

I know this topic has been discussed in other threads as well and those threads got buried over the Period of time but this is getting beyond limit now - let me know if anyone has any good idea or if we can do anything together......
My PD is EB3 Mar 2005 and my 140 is applied in EB3 May 2007. at NSC (Nebraska) Its been 13 months and no signs of movement and no one is helping . Here what I did on a personal level and here is what i heard.
a) Contacted USCIS - they said contact employer/lawyer because they are the beneficiary.
b) Contacted Lawyer - they said 'Pls wait for some more time' & then ask employer.
c) Contacted Employer - they said that we can't push lawyers unless your case is passed 2 months from Processing Date update.
d) Contacted Local Congressman - Told them that the Processing Date update is a farce and USCIS (NSC) moves them back n forth just to save their Face. This is really unfair for a certain category of peoples. They took my case no. and inquired and then said that since you have a parallel H1B and a job - we would wait. If your existence in US comes on the Line then we will Jump in and help you. We are sorry but we can't really expedite unless a emergency comes.
Now tell me folks what other options we all have - NSC is just messing with EB3 140. Whatever is the workload this can not happen. Do we still have some options to work on (apart from sitting idle and pray) ?

My college got his I140 approved just in 2 months with normal processing. He filed in EB2-I. Mine was also approved last year in 2 months in EB2-I. Does the location from where are you applying affect processing time?
Not necessarily , But it does depends on what is load of work at a given time at given location. TCS was ahead of NSC last year but they shifted workload from NSC to TCS so now TCS is little behind. But once TCS cleans up all files it can go ahead. Processing dates are nothing but indication for when to open a Service Request at local office. If your case is behind that date you can open SR.For straight forward cases approvals comes fast. For those who are stuck they should monitor Processing time and see if their app is lagging behind proc time. They should contact USCIS.

ok so when would EB2 come back to its old status of Jan 2003(it was so for past 1.5 yrs atleast b4 jumping to june 2004 and again retogating)...would it be in this current fiscal yr..i.e b4 sept 2008 or it will take whole of nxt fiscal yr to come to that kind of dates?
I believe once it gets past Jan 2003 PD's, dates will move steadily.

On the I-485, the question regarding any memberships or affiliations I had was left blank.
My PD is oct 18,2001 which will be current from April 1.
Im expecting that they are working on my case now :)
Hello Sleuths,
:) I appreciate your logical thinking and attention to detail! Yes, I've a worldwide roaming cell phone whose number is listed in Bay area, but I can receive calls wherever cellphone signal reaches.
I had included my cell phone number in my letters to IO earlier and he first called my office number and then tried my cell.

I similarly applied online on Dec 20th and haven't heard anything at all. I applied online and the documents were sent to the Neb office. Can you please share your details on I765 extension filing?
well, honestly speaking, it wasn't an extension. i am still on h1b, however it expires soon, so, i filed at texas service center, taking the 120 day period as the processing period.
what i mean by not an extension is that, i once applied for 765 when i filed by 485 during july 2007 fiasco, but later, i never bothered to renew it.
hope this helps,
Jai Hind

See pg CRS-5 of document http://fpc.state.gov/documents/organization/84914.pdf
Two important exceptions to the per-country ceilings have been enacted in the
past decade. Foremost is an exception for certain family-sponsored immigrants.
More specifically, the INA states that 75% of the visas allocated to spouses and
children of LPRs (2ndA family preference) are not subject to the per-country ceiling.18
Prior to FY2001, employment-based preference immigrants were also held to percountry
ceilings. The American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act
of 2000 (P.L. 106-313) enabled the per-country ceilings for employment-based
immigrants to be surpassed for individual countries that are oversubscribed as long
as visas are available within the worldwide limit for employment-based preferences.
The impact of these revisions to the per-country ceilings is discussed later in this

I was just thinking, the wastage of visa numbers we see, is that basically due to the per country quota. The rule that no country can have more than X% of GC's in a year, would mean that even though there are visa's available, they cannot be alloted due to that per country limit.
Anyway the smaller number of application is good news.
-AD
thats not true...ac21 is under suspension because eb3 row is retrogressed...once its not, the ac21 trickle down of visa numbers applies.
