Hi YesWeWillGet,
Is your friend filed EB-2 with same EB-3 employer or different?
Now these days, three months is surprising.

Hi Gurus,
My labor was approved in July'07 and I-140/485 were applied under EB2 category in Aug'07.
My qualification : Master of Engineering in Civil Engineering and B.Tech in Civil Engineering.
I got the below RFE from CIS :
The submitted ETA 9089 states the preferred position of Computer systems analyst requires a Masters degree in Engineering or related field.
Please submit a new educational evaluation based solely on the beneficiary's education when compared to a degree related to the computer indstry.
An acceptable evaluation must:
1) Consider formal education only, not practical training experience
2) did the applicant complete the U.S equivalant of high school before entering college
3) Provide detailed explanation of material evaluated
4) briefly state the qualifications and experience of the evaluator providing the opinion
The education evaluation I have submitted with I-140 includes my work experience. Please suggest me your ideas/experiences in getting the best education evaluation for my I-140 approval.
Thanks,
Sekhar
I think they are probing link of your Civil Engineering and Computer Analyst job. They are looking for specific computer oriented language courses that show you have formal education in that and that should corraborate your work experience letters. Its well known that getting EB2 for computer analyst etc oriented jobs is getting difficult. They are now questioning more and more as to why analyst oriented jobs should require Masters and #2 they are looking for links between Civil Engineering education and Computer oriented job that you are trying for.!!!
All the best.
Best Regards

Please take a look at page 249. If I understand it correctly, it mentions that the quota for EB1 goes from 28.6% of EB visas to 15%, EB2 goes from 28.6% to 15% and EB3 goes from 28.6% to 35%
That means they WILL create a new category of EB visas since they have to utilize these extra visas somewhere!
Am I reading it right?

Hi All,
I need your help and suggestions. In November of last year my wife and I submitted our medicals and AOS applications. Our checks were never cashed. I informed my lawyer after a month of not seeing the checks cash and raised the question then. They replied that there is a lot of mail going through that room and just wait a bit more. Another month went by, nothing. Then another.
Here it is March 2009 and my lawyer finally contacts USCIS to find out that they cannot find my original application. (no receipt notice was issued) During the entire last year and right up until March my Prioirty Date was always current. Now there is SEVERE retrogression and my PD date is now not current.
We have to refile. I re-wrote the checks and we are submitting the package again.
How can we demand that our application be accepted based on the original filing date of November when we were current?
would the dated medicals prove that we submitted in November. Who would get their paperwork done then sit on it for months right?!?!?!
How do we challenge USCIS based on their error. My lawyer said they have a delivery confirmation for the original application however I have not seen that.
thanks!

HR 5882 Counterpart Introduced in Senate by Hon. MENENDEZ
Link: http://menendez.senate.gov/newsroom/record.cfm?id=301666&
Press Release of Senator Menendez
SENATOR MENENDEZ INTRODUCES BILL TO EXTEND E-VERIFY PROGRAM, INCREASE VISA EFFICIENCY AND STRENGTHEN FAMILIES
E-verify portion of bill mirrors version passed overwhelmingly passed by House this evening
Friday, August 1, 2008
WASHINGTON� U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) yesterday evening introduced legislation to renew the electronic system for employers to check the documentation of prospective employees, and to ensure that unused work or family-based visas are utilized. The Visa Efficiency and E-Verify Extension Act of 2008 will help American businesses and will protect family unity by reauthorizing the E-Verify program, recapturing unused or unclaimed employment-based visas and family-sponsored visas from fiscal years 1992 through 2007 and allowing unused family and employment-based visas in future years to automatically �roll over� to the next fiscal year. The E-Verify portion of the legislation mirrors E-Verify legislation passed this evening in the House of Representatives by a 407-2 vote.
Senators Patty Murray (D-WA), Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Maria Cantwell (WA) joined Senator Menendez as co-sponsors of the bill. The proposed legislation would shorten the long lines of families and employees currently waiting to receive green cards.
�Verifying that workers have their proper documentation is certainly important, and this bill ensures we are doing that while being fair to families who have waited in line for years and have paid their visa fees to reunite with their loved ones,� said Sen. Menendez. �We must couple the E-verify effort, which is good for business, with policy that is also good for families � it fits with our American value system and is a step towards fixing our broken immigration system.�
Summary of The Visa Efficiency and E-Verify Extension Act of 2008:
Recapture of Unused Visas: This bill recaptures unused or unclaimed employment-based visas and family-sponsored visas from fiscal years 1992 through 2007 and allows unused family and employment-based visas in future years to automatically �roll over� to the next fiscal year.
Extension of the Conrad State 30 Program: The bill extends the Conrad State 30 program for 5 years to June 1, 2013. The Conrad State 30 program was designed to provide each of the fifty U.S. states with 30 waivers for J-1 physicians each fiscal year.
Extension of Religious Worker Program: The bill requires DHS to issue final regulations to eliminate or reduce fraud related to the granting of special immigrant status for individuals working in a religious vocation or occupation. The bill extends the special immigrant non-minister religious worker program to October 1, 2011. Under this bill, the DHS Inspector General shall submit on the effectiveness of the regulations to reduce fraud by 2010.
Reauthorization of E-verify: This bill also reauthorizes the Department of Homeland Security�s (DHS) Basic Pilot electronic employment eligibility verification program, also known as �E-Verify.� This legislation provides for a 5-year extension of this program for the electronic employment verification of employees.
Protection of Social Security Administration Programs: This legislation requires DHS to provide timely and appropriate payments to the Social Security Administration so that E-verify does not interfere with SSA�s ability to serve seniors, people with disabilities, and survivors.
Government Accountability Office (GAO) Study of Basic Pilot Confirmation System: This bill requires the GAO to report to Congress on the causes of erroneous tentative nonconfirmations, how they are remedied and the effect they have on individuals, employers and federal agencies. It also requires the GAO to examine the experiences of small businesses, non-profits and municipalities with using Basic Pilot.

I have a really hard time focusing on the fence in the first two. I would pick three as my favorite but only with a slight lead over four. I actually like the grean in four as it adds a nice variation is color...but I don't like the ceramic thingy.
Nice texture in all of them though.

For any new comprehensive immigration reform, we must push for the Ability to be able to file for EAD after labor rather than having to wait for I-140 approval.
Do anybody know if any of the proposed bills have this provision? We must get together to push for this in the final bill as this doesn't harm anybody.
Thanks,
WaldenPond

I suppose your pd has been current for a while now. are you stuck in name check ? do you know why your 485 approval is taking so long ? I'd say you should be getting your GC rather than the ead card.
And why does your public profile say Labor Approval Date: 05/10/2005 where as in your post you say PD is Feb 2002.
Labor filed date is Feb 2002. Thats is what called PD. Fortunately it took only 3.8 yrs to get my LC approval. Some poor souls got their LC approval in 4 yrs and 5yrs.
I don't know if you heard about PBEC and DBEC. I am one of the victims of backlog elimination center.
Anyway my name check is still pending. But if they really implement this 180 day rule, my case is good to go.

I am working with Company B on H-1b. My GC labor, I-140, I-485 and EAD is filed by Company A. Now, I am close to getting EAD in few weeks. Few say that once EAD is approved, then I have start working for Company A immediately. Others say that GC and EAD is for future employment with Company A and hence, I should start working for Company A only after GC is approved.
So, I have two questions and need advice.
1. When should I start working for Company A, upon approval of EAD or approval of GC.
Ideally, I would like to start working for Company A upon approval of GC.
2. Even, if I want to transfer EAD to Company B, the job title differs as the job title on GC is more junior than the current role.
Please let me know if anyone has similar situation and need what the reality is when EAD is approved.
Thanks.

you dont need to start working for the company that sponsored your GC until you get the GC. If USCIS ever sends an RFE that company needs to confirm to USCIS that the job offer is open to you and provide a copy of the offer letter (it should match the LC). Your intent to work for that company on getting a GC should also be obvious (ie. if you currently make 5X what that company is offering for the GC job, you might have to convince the IO that you really intend to take up that offer).
In the meantime you can do whatever you want at company B, either on H1 or on EAD.

Ok, since your GC has been approved, it is not true you need to wait 180 days. There is nothing in the law that says that. What is true is something different. When you received your GC through your employer, the presumption is that you will remain with this employer for a long time to come as it was a permanent job offer position. Of course, under some circumstances, it is possible you can't work for the same employer any longer; for instance, the company is closing etc. But, if you receive a GC and you voluntarily leave your employer immediately or after a few months, you MAY have issues during naturalization. At that time your application can be scrutinized whether or not you really was going to work for the employer who sponsored you. I've seen this happening several times. If you left voluntarily after a short period of time, the USCIS may say it was fraud and you never intended to work for your sponsor. So, in general, it is advisable to remain with the original sponsor for some time. Some attorneys say 1 year is enough, some say 2 years is enough and some say 6 months is enough. It is up to you. The law does not specify what the period is, but be logical and careful about this. You can hold 5 jobs, but I would suggest to stay with your current employer for as long as possible. Think forward, and not backward.
Hope this makes sense.

My opinion is that there is not much point in looking for a different country. Most of us have been in the US and have developed some kind of roots here already. So GC is needed and we deserve it.
If there is no GC in the horizon, pack up and go back. And like the guy in CA mentioned in the news article, none of us will be charming snakes in India.

I got my GC last year auguest but her gc/485 status is stil pending. Is it even possible based on her case was dependent on me? What can I do abt it. Thanks.
I got my GC in 2007... Both me and my wifes PD was aug 03... After 2 infopass appointments and a 1000 letters to president, senators and their chaprasis we gave up. She was current for most of this period. Then last month the GC was in the mail... just like that. So based on my experience, just sit back and relax... If its your wifes desitny to get it then she will.. :D
And here is a big joke... During my second infopass the officer said my wifes application had no connecting primary and a derivative cannot be approved on its own. I told him that the primary (mine) was approved over a year back. He said they must have moved your application... I immediately pictured a govt office in India with milions of files stored in the shelves... Long story short he took a copy of my GC and my 485 notice and said it was very strange and that my wife would receive her GC in the next 2 weeks... Nothing obviously happened after that!

Indian students in US cross 100,000 mark- Visa Power-Travel-Services-News By Industry-News-The Economic Times (http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/news-by-industry/services/travel/visa-power/Indian-students-in-US-cross-100000-mark/articleshow/5241333.cms)
The number of students from India enrolled in US universities and colleges crossed 100,000 for the first time ever this year even as Most expensive cities for expats
international enrollments in America registered the largest percentage increase since 1980, defying broad economic trends.
As the number of international students at colleges and universities in the US increased by 8% to an all-time high of 671,616 in the 2008/09 academic year, students from India made up 103,260 of the overall number, according to the Open Doors report, which is published annually by the Institute of International Education (IIE) in collaboration with the US government.
The Indian numbers went up 9.2 per cent from 94,563 in 2007/2008 to cross 100,000 for the first time to retain its position as the top place of origin for international students in the United States. China remained in second place, although there was a sharp 21 per cent spike in students from China, going up from 81,127 last academic year to 98,235 this year. South Korea (69,000 to 75,000) remained in third place.
This is the eighth consecutive year that India has remained in the top spot. In course of a preview of the forthcoming visit to Washington of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh next week, Indian officials said on Monday that Indian student inflow contributed nearly $ 3 billion to the US economy last year. Overall, international students contribute $17.8 billion to the US economy, through their expenditures on tuition and living expenses, according to the US Department of Commerce.
Authors of the report said the findings do not reflect the full impact of the past year's economic downturn, since decisions to come to the United States to study were made before the financial effects were fully felt in the sending countries.
