Hello Gurus,
My I-140 was recently approved. 140-485 filed concurently in July 2007. I have a new job offer and plan to use AC21. However I am worried because the wages at new job would be significantly higher than the old job. There are two reasons for the big difference
1-Desi employer v/s corporate employer
2-Dallas v/s New York
Any comments from people who have faced similar situation will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Exactly but mere emphasis solely on educational qualification is unfortunate as after few years in job market, your skills & experience has more leverage than the degree and I am saying this based on my personal experience. In our group I was the one with least amount of formal education but still I got promoted 2 times ahead of Masters degree holders form US and foreign universities.
The issue here is, USCIS is a government agency. They are incapable of making a subjective determination of a person's capability. All they go by is the degree certificate which can be seen on a piece of paper.
As per INA/USCIS, many of the following won't qualify for EB2:

I thought that I will share my recent experience.
I arrived in USA in 2003 on a L1 visa.
It was expiring soon, but instead of renewing, because of fear of denial, my company converted me to H1 using premium processing.
Department of state was going to close the VISA revalidation process, so in 2004 I sent my passport to them and got a h1 Stamp (within the USA).
I changed my employer later using H1 transfer and they kept renewing my H1 petition.
My new employer also started my GC processing and in Jul 2007 I applied for my 485 along with wife's.
Since then I have been working with the same employer on EAD.
After a long time I wanted to visit India, so applied and got my AP.
Although I had my AP, I wanted to visit India, get an h1 stamp and reenter on H1.
This is because EAD is taking too long for renewal.
I went to India, visited Mumbai Consulate, they did not ask me a single document.
They understood that I was asking for a stamp after 7 years, so they asked me "so your GC process is ON huh?". I said, "Yup".
No other questions asked.
I got my h1 stamp in 2-3 days.
Planning to reenter USA on that stamp.
Once I return my company will switch me from EAD to H1.
Hopefully EAD will arrive after that.
I will just keep that handy.
If I move to another employer, I will have a choice, use H1 or EAD.
I am keeping my H1 for the only reason, that if 485 gets rejected for any stupid reasons, I will have a way to fall back on something.
I have a house and a small kid born in the USA, don't want to have ANY illegal status, even for a day.
Wife will continue to work on EAD.
H1 is valid for 3 years, so I can travel to and fro USA to other countries with much more ease than the AP.
Plus I don't have to pay the crazy AP fees each time.
Please do comment if you find this information useful or any issues in my plans stated above.
I will update this post when I arrive back in USA.
Update : 8/12/2010
I entered USA on H1 through IAD airport with ZERO questions asked.

I was in a similar situation where i had two petitions one expiring in 4 months and another expiring in a year and i got the stamp for the remaining 1 year 4 months. The guys outside take only one petition as you have to schedule an appointment with only one petition (i.e. I797). When you go to the window to talk to the Consular Officer you should tell him that you have another petition and get a stamp for the entire validity of the 2 petitions. I asked the CO in a very polite way and he obliged.

I took an infopass appointment on 12/13 and met with an IO. All the IO did was to e-mail the service center for FP. I now see two soft LUDs on 12/15 and 12/18 on my I-485. I don't know if these are related to the generation of FP notice or something else.
infopass is not useful for fp. I too tried that way, but didnt help.
if you use the poj, and you are lucky to get hold of IO at the office where your 485 is pending, then they have the authority to create new fp notice and they can also check whether your name check is cleared or not. they will also give you the dates as to when the name check was initiated (this is usually 1 week after your notice date).

The media caters to its audience just like any other business nterested in its own customers. When markets worldwide rise or fall in response to election results in India, it gets major media attention everywhere because the audience is interested. Diwali is as unimportant in America as Thanksgiving in the U.K. There is no point fretting over it. Diwali could become newsworthy when people globally start tracking shopping sales in India since their businesses might depend on them. It's better to sharpen our skills so that we can seamlessly join the global highway than to sit on the sides cursing those passing by that they don't care about us.
Friends I want to point out a few things. But before that Wanted to let you know that Diwali is my major festival too and I celebrate Diwali with great respect. I do not think the importance of Diwali will get diminished in the heart of people irrespective of the fact they are mentioned in media.
However, I do not understand why we are discussing whether Diwali is mentioned in Google or on some media. Google inc is a business organization and they will do whatever they feel is good for their business. Only their shareholders can dictate them. If we are not the major shareholders then why are we bothered. They would write about Diwali if they like. Why we should try to press our religion over others. Everyone should be free to follow their own. Else we will become part of the religious fanatics.
Secondly this is an Immigration forum. If I remember IV is for all immigrants in USA and not just for a particular country(origin) or religion. These type of discussion will try to create division amoung us the immigrants who are from all religions.

You wont be watching the visa bulletin after 12 years as by then you have got you GC or you are back in your home country since your patience would run off by then.
Whatever be the case, its better to forget keeping a track of when the Visa "sad News" Bulletin is going to come and predict.
Good Luck!

My lawyer tells me so. Also, the bulletin you cite is very old. Most people stuck in name check, for which BTW there is a separate thread, will coroborrate what i've said.
The bulletin is 2 years old (if that is considered old, given the GC standards). However, no new bulletins have followed to void it. Unless I have been advising with the wrong lawyer and wrong GC applicants (many), there is no such thing as I-485 Approval before the name check is completed. Any third party would like to comment?

I hope that never, ever, ever happens. Actually, I'm sure it never will. :p
I second that !
And also I don't see how that will solve anything. Visa #'s are the problem not the distribution of the #'s.

I have sent the following email to Mr. Tytler.
Although I am not sure how Mr. Tytler would react, I thought, it doesn't hurt to try.
Unfortunately, I do not know any one in the political circles in India. May be members hailing from the New Delhi area could help garner support.
************************************************** *******
Dear Mr. Jagadish Tytler,
I am writing to you from the Seattle area in Washington state of the United States, on behalf of the NRI community in the USA. In December 2005, a group of professionals comprising of software engineers, physicians and the like have started a forum called Immigration Voice that strives for improvements in the outdated and restrictive US Immigration laws that is impacting the NRI community.
Sir, You are very well aware of the contribution in terms of the foreign exchange and investments NRIs bring about in India. I am writing this email to you to make you aware of the efforts of this group, numbering over 1000 members, which is working with Senators and Representatives of the United States.
The website is located at http://www.immigrationvoice.org
The group has solicited contributions from members, and has currently signed up Quinn Gillespie and Associates, a public affairs firm which will lobby our interests with the Senators and Representatives.
We would like to invite you to participate in our efforts, and help us in bringing about greater awareness at a political leadership level.
Thanking you,

Not sure of schools since I dont have any kids of school going age yet. However dont expect that much disp[arity in educational standards from Toronto.
Yes employment opp from spouse may be limited. However there is atleast a chance compared to staying in the US. Windsor real estate is also much cheaper than Toronto (you can buy a decent home in Windsor for 200 K. You will need 300 K in Toronto for same house).
Plus if you come to the point there is no way your GC will ever come, you can always move from Windsor to Toronto.
