+ straight As only ?
why - only tier1 & tier2 ? should be based salary withdrawn- isn't?
GC quota should be based on skillset(1,2,3), not solely based on salary.(remeber, we are talking about future salary here).
There should be a separate quota for Master's degree holders with existing jobs in their field of study. That would weed out people joining random schools for a Master's degree just to be part of that quota.
They should work atleast for 3Yrs(1st H1B duration) after OPT, in their field to qualify for the new quota. If they change the field during this time, they have to come and join our line.

Help!!
Is any company filing new PERM applications in this economy? I was told that my current company (a really big one at that) is holding off PERMs indefinitely because we had some layoffs- indefinitely!
My H1 runs out in Oct 2010, and I heard that I have only till end of Nov 2009 (including what I found out is called recapture time) to file.
Now, I found out that my company have do newspaper/online ads for positions to demonstate that they tested the labor market etc etc (all stuff that I heard from the attorney), and I got the impression that she has no idea when they are going to do this and start filing again, and I got something like a best of luck look from her. I am freaked out now.
Any of you out there know if any companies are still filing PERMs? I am on a EB-2 in Software.
Also, if I join a new company, can I file a PERM immediately? Or is it just best of luck to me?
Looks like I have to look into a Canada visa / Australian or UK visa or better go back and spend sometime in India. Any thoughts from any of you more enterprising folks out there? I have little knowledge of the process (my fault!) but I am stressed and freaked now.

Guys pls stop taking useless info pass appointments. People like me who have not received EAD and may loose the job are not able to get infopass appointments because of all the people taking appt to know the 485 status. Pls understand......
I do not know when you started the process of renewal, but you could have filled 4 months ago. Then, secondly, if you are so eager go and take an appt in another city. Just an option...Everyone has the right to do whatever they choose...

Here is a job lead I received recently. If anyone's interested, send me a message and I will be glad to provide the contact details.
-------------------
I trust all is well. I am working with a small consulting client who may have a contract (1099) need in the next couple of weeks. This would be initially a few month project focused on identifying strategic sourcing opportunities with indirect spend. So we are looking for candidates with broad, indirect strategic sourcing experience. The travel would be something like 50% on site and 50% at home. The client is located in the San Jose area. Ideally we are looking for someone in either Atlanta or the Bay Area, but will consider all locations.
I was hoping you may know someone who would be interested in this opportunity. If so, please feel free to pass along this email. (For interested candidates, please email me a copy of your resume and we can set-up a time to talk.)

All,
This has been discussed before, but I could not find a definitive answer.
I live in Alabama and my I-485 is pending with Nebraska Service Center. Based on instructions in I-765 form, Alabama falls under Texas Service Center.
My category for I-765 EAD is -- (c) (9).
Now I am filing for my EAD renewal. Where should I send in my paper application -- Nebraska or Texas?
Would you all pl let me know. Last time my EAD was messed up big time, (wrong dates on EAD card), and I want to make sure everything goes normal this time.
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks.

All,
My employer revoked the i140 of a person after 180 days. He did not reveal this information to me and used labor substitution for me.
The other person used AC21 and got his 485 approved. INS has denied my I140 since a 485 has already been approved and there can be only one GC on one labor. INS says that once the 485 is approved that job ceases to exist.
My company is saying that they have done this in the past and got approvals. They are saying that they applied the I140 substitution long before the 485 approval of the other person.
Now they are saying that they will appeal that the other guy never had the intention of working for the comapany.
Is there any chance for the I140 approval and using the existing labor ? If not will the INS help me keep the Priority Date.
Does anyone have knowledge of such cases (or) know the results of such appeals.
Thanks !
I would suggest, you explore other option and try a join a new employer to process GC rather than looking for options that are uncertain. Although, I feel sorry for your case, it does not sound right to jump lines, while so many people are waiting in line for GC for many many years. There are certain genuine cases in LC Substitution case, but these are very few in numbers, and also it just can't be right when someone just gets ahead of you, while you are waiting for years. It is really good, that LC Substitution is eliminated, so that people like you do no loose the precious time depending on these employers like this and also people who are waiting for years get their chance first. Appealing, etc can be done, but a positive outcome is very very slim in this case, if the original person had worked for this employer for 180 days or more and invoked AC21, then AC21 protects the original beneficiary. If original beneficiary has not worked for this employer at all, then there might be a small chance, but still it is very complicated. As posted here, talk to an attorney other than your employers attorney or yours and get a second opinion and decide accordingly.

Try this company for a mortgage. When I bought my house in 2006, I used them. They had the best rates, closing costs are relatively cheaper too. They are a small company, but are very customer friendly. Once they loan you the money, eventually, they will sell that mortgage to one of the big banks -- Countrywide, Citi etc. At that point, you'll need to start dealing with the new company.

Hi, all,
I think my situation is a little complicated as follow: while I am still in F1 status and visa (2.5 months before graduation), one company filed I-140 petition for me on EB3(May. 2006), I applied for OPT EAD card and got it approved on Sep, 2006. Then my previous I-140 got approved on Dec. 2006. And now I am using my OPT EAD working in another company, and will start my H1B application with the current company soon.
I am wondering if the previous I-140 application with previous company affects my current H1B application with my current company? Since it was filed while I was in F1 status(even before OPT EAD approval), some said it is not allowed...
I am really concerned about this now... please advise ..
Many many thanks

IV core team ... You are an amazingly competent team and have done a tremendous
job over the last three months.
I don't think any of us here, including me, has earned the right to criticize this effort
or demand results, unless we are part of the core team or an active volunteer.
There are better ways to express our concerns than to spread the negativity.

I am also trying to stay afloat through the very debatable AC21 process. Currently, my case is being handled by Ron Gotcher and I have been very happy with all the help and support so far. Not to mention, they are really reasonable.
Thanks for sharing. I don't think AC21 is very debatable as I have seen ppl used AC21 and currently holding GC without any unwanted issues.
BTW When did you assigned your case to him? is it very recently?

I think the spirit of those who have got their Green Cards and still come can be summed up as "Fight for what is right first. Fight for our rights second."
I think those who are having a fight inside the camp do not have that spirit. That is why they can not agree on things.

I usually shy away from replying to what people have to say about legal immigrants as I strongly believe that each person is entitled to his/her own views. Having said that, people like Communique (not directed at you, but using your name as you seems to be the most vocal), don't seems to realize that it is in the interest of this country to have well educated legal immigrants. I just hope that the opponents of the legal immigration realize that each legal immigrant (at least in the EB category) is very well qualified and they are doing to job which has been advertised for a period of at least 30days and no legal resident was found to be qualified for it.
The question is very simple, why would you NOT want such a person to be a legal immigrant to your country? Only if you are xenophobic would you be opposing such immigrants. Why would you want to put a million roadblocks in the path of such people? Instead of trying to run them out the country by frustrating their efforts to immigrate and denying them the basic rights like ability to accept a promotional, receive a higher pay, etc. shouldn't you be welcoming such immigrant who add value to this country?
There are so many "whys" that I could ask a person who opposes legal immigrants. Like I said before, this is my train of thought and belief, if you don't buy it then you are entitled to your. As long as you can rationally justify it to yourself that is all that matters.

would all AOS applicants receive FP notice or only those whose PD is current.
Your interpretation of the question is incorrect :p:p
I am sure about your answer though...:)
Q: Does everyone get fingerprinting notice?
A: No. Only those who apply for AOS. :)
