Basically, there are lot of people on the other site, who don't want to join IV but participate:) They think that they might be accidentally causing a benefit to IV by joining IV:)
This seems strange...no reason you cant be a part of more than one organization
and what kind of benefit as we talking about here?
are they also EB immigrants with the same Goal....do they have other different goals?
They want to come help with advocating...but do not want to benefit us...so they want to benefit us by helping out but they don't want to officially be seen as benefiting us?? lol seems like a weird funny paradox :D
Maybe they can help with logistical support n let IV deal with the actual talking to senators part

Can somebody explain how unused visas are recaptured?
Will unused RoW EB-1 be given to the most retrogressed category (EB-2 India)? Or will they go to EB-2 RoW? What does the law state? Will per-country quotas apply when unused visas are used?

Well, my attorney filed interfiling last friday and according to him, my 485 file should be updated with the new I-140 in 3 to 4 weeks from now. He informed that we should not expect any written confirmation from USCIS though. I will keep you guys updated in this regard. In the mean time, if anybody in the forum has gone through this process, please share your experience.

But...I'm not comfortable with subject, that is starting with a question.. ( reply to svn's post)
IMO, it might backfire as...'What da xxxx is in it for legal immigrants?'( depending upon ones mood at that time)
I'm more for a lowered tone...request, that is.

Higher salary should not be a problem at all. Important thing is, the salary should be equal or above the prevailing wage at new location for that job classification at that position/level. PW also a survey of wage by DOL. It does not mean that one should not earn considerably more than average. Lets see an hypothetical example,
A young Software engineer joins microsoft using AC21 and dates Bill gates son/daughter and marry him/her. Bill gates increase that person salary to 1 million, but he/she continuously doing same SW engineer job. In that case 1 million salary should not be a problem for AC21, because it is higher than PW in seattle.
(Dont ask me why not if a person marry Bill gates son/daughter they can come in family category)
As per the current guidelines adjudicating officer makes the determination based on Department of Labor SOC/O*net code in the Labror Certification Application (ETA 9098) form. ( It's very critical to have a copy of LC application, before considering AC21. If you don't have it through employer, you can get a copy from DOL through FOIA request )
DOLs SOC/O*Net gives the job description for the Job code as well as "same or similar" jobs (if you search on your SOC/O*net code)
http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/
Here's an example - http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/ccreport/15-1031.00
This is the website IOs are supposed to be using (as per guidelines). Becoming a Sr. Software Engineer from Software Engineer shouldn't be an issue. Salary hike beyond 50% could (or could not) be a problem based on the IOs sole discretion. 50% is just a ball-park assumed by most immigration attorneys. In reality, there is no such preset limit. It's entirely upto the IOs decision.
Promotion as manager is a tricky situation, as Job description changes. IO may consider it 'same or similar', or consider it altogether different. In such cases it may be possible to prove the jobs are similar by obtaining an 'Expert Opinion Letter' from an expert in the field ( such as a Professor of Computer Science from a University).

It is so pathetic that there are so much people waiting in EB3-I category.
This Guy just applied in Dec 2004 and got GC. His question is whether i need to carry ?
it is only karma.
I feel for you buddy. You can't be hating the player....you got to hate the game. This is exactly how I felt when 2006 PDs were getting approved last year. You are totally right....GC depends on your Karma.

Yes sw33t, it indeed redirected me to some site by popup, it was one of those virus which is embedded within images. I immediately knew what was happening by noticing the performance of my system, but even then it was too late - everything was frozen!! Then began the painful recovery process... Sigh :p
NOTE: It also hijacked Firefox, every time I use it, it freezes up the entire system and again I cannot re-boot, so for now I uninstalled Firefox and am using Google Chrome. So sw33t, please do something about it if you can :confused:.

Is it okay to have an internal transfer (same company, from East Coast to West Coast) after obtaining the Green Card? Or transferring after 6 months to 1 year would be better?
If it's okay to transfer right away, does the new position need to have the same/similar title, duties, and salary?
Thank you :)
I think internal transfer after 6 months to a different location may be better.
Officially hold on taking promotions. Practically taking additional responsibility should not be an issue. For example, let us say you got GC as a Sr. Software developer, in 6 months you may get promoted to Lead Developer. Point to be noted is hold all the current responsibility, in addition take new role like team lead and project management.

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.)

Guys and Gals,
I decided to go with my credit union and called them this morning to lock the rates. I just received some disclosures and rate lock agreement, when I was reading it, there was a section where it asks "Are you a U.S citizen?", loan office assumed that I'm a citizen and checked the box.
I understand that I should tell them the truth, but wondering if that may increase my interest rates. Please share your experience or advice you may have for me.

Sorry to hear that case is gone to wrong office. The (c)(9)() class of EAD filing instruction is that it must be sent where I485 is being processed.
During infopass visit, officer must have given some clue.
If I were you, I would be sending the supporting documents with a covering letter stating the blunder. This type of mistake should not be uncommon to USCIS offices and they should have procedures to fix it.

Are you sure? Cause I did work with them, no one imagined the crisis of real estate was going to be soooo steep and also no one imagined that my i-485 was going to be approved so fast.
I can proof I worked with them from 2002-2006 (4 years). They gave me a letter saying they still not able to get me a job, i did have intent to work with them.
That is the point. It was not of your own volition.
Also, there is no rule that says citizenship is not available to people who do not work for the sponsoring employer for a certai nperiod of time after GC approval. It is just good practice to stick around for a few months after approval, but it is not law.
You will have no trouble. Change your status from bittersweet to sweet and have fun. Also, good luck finding a new job.

The following is an exactly parallel strategy for us. I just copied the lines.
1. Obtain a Schedule A retrogression amendment (anywhere from 15,000 - 90,000 visas) in the Spring.
2. Push for a permanent Schedule A retrogression amendment (Brownback amendment) whenever Congress considers Comprehensive Immigration Reform.
The concerns are
1. How to chose the numbers 15,000 - 90,000? We may need much larger numbers.
2. How the 15,000 - 90,000 visas should be divided for different countries and categories?

Truly a tragic incident. There is no excuse, what so ever, to take someones life and to commit suicide. No matter what the hardship, it has to be faced and move forward. Indians are too emotional and take it so personal and worry more about what others think.

If the person gets the visa stamped on the passport at the US consulate abroad, I do not see any problems re-entering.
AP is only optional. You can always get a valid US visa stamp based on the approved petition and use the H-1 visa stamp to re-enter.
I am not sure what the confusion here is:rolleyes:
There could be a problem at Point of Entry if the officer notices the exit date before the approval of AP. I think for you to be able to use AP to enter it should be approved prior to your exit out of the country. You might want to consult an attorney or USCIS on this. If the IO at POE stops them there is nothing you can do. So be very careful on what you want to do here.
