Hi,
I will file for my 485 this week. Next week I leave for India for 2 weeks. With the frontlog I wont get my 485 receipt this week. I have valid H1B. When I enter without 485 receipt will that be a problem? Will my 485 be abandoned in case there is problem? Please advice. Thanks.

labor is indeed more than 1 year old. Are you completely sure about this rule since having an approved 140 gives you a 3 year extemsion

Based on my experience i do not see any issues in your case
Ensure your EB2 and EB3 job duties are different at least 50%
Apply for PERM ASAP as it is only 7 months now..
Porting is good and easy.. give it a try...

The backlog is so huge that there is no "light" at the end of the tunnel
FB immigration is capped at 480K and EB immigration at 140K. Both are backlogged.. the ratio of cases is also perhaps 3:1 or 4:1, so the bulk of those pendng 485s are likely to be family based. the EB I-485 cases are probably somewhere around 250k of that 750k...
Also, what is a backlogged case? USCIS has been changing the definition as they see fit. At one point cases that were pending FBI namecheck were not counted in backlogs!

Even i have the same problem. I filed my I485 on July 2nd. I have a another labour from different company. I want to use the new labour. My current employer with whom i have my new labour told me to put stop payment on the 485 checks given to USICS so that they will send the 485 application packet back. I am not sure whether we can do
a stop payment to USICS. Spoke to couple of employers and heard that they usually do that for H1B(stop payment). Please adivse.

IMO: 7th Year extn can be filed if PERM is pending for more than 365 days or if I-140 is approved.
Friends;
I am posting this on behalf of my friend who is on H1 (6th year expiring in Dec, 2011). His labor is yet to be filed and in this connection we have a question. Process has been initiated by employer and tentatively labor will be filed in June, 2011. Hoping that he will be done with labor or I-140 by November would he be eligible for 7th year H1 extension?
Thanks
Venu

My PD is April-2002 and I really need to go back home in December but I don't want to use AP for that, so I am hoping I will hear something by the end of this year.

H-1B Certification (http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/h-1b.cfm)
Upon DOL certification, the employer files the USCIS Form I-129 (http://www.foreignlaborcert.doleta.gov/leave-doleta.cfm?www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-129.pdf), the required filing fee, and other supporting documentation (including the approved LCA) to USCIS. Unless specifically exempt under the law, the employer must pay USCIS filing fees.
Thank you very much. I appreciate your help.

There is a story in the Oct 6 Wall Street Journal on high skilled immigration reform. If anyone has a subscription to that, pl. post for the benefit of members...
OpinionJournal's Political Diary
Who leaked the Foley emails and why?; industries seeking more high-skill immigrants pin their hopes on Congress's lame duck session; new film debunks the hypocrisy of anti-development greenies. (Click to Subscribe)

Seperately, the Economist has a 15-page report on the "Global Hunt for Talent". It specifically highlights how restrictive immigration quotas for skilled workers are hurting US competitiveness and how other western nations are racheting up their efforts to lure skilled foreigners.
http://www.economist.com/surveys/displaystory.cfm?story_id=7961938
Here are some excerpts
Most governments are easing restrictions on the entry of skilled workers. Some are going further and offering incentives. Germany has made it easier for skilled workers to get visas. Britain has offered more work permits for skilled migrants. France has introduced a “scientist visa”. Many countries are making it easier for foreign students to stay on after graduating. Canada and Australia have not only tilted their long-established points systems further towards the skilled, they have also introduced more incentives. Australia and New Zealand have created a ladder leading from universities to the workforce and then to permanent residence.
Two economists, Fr�d�ric Docquier and Hillel Rapoport, estimate that average emigration rates worldwide are 0.9% for the low-skilled, 1.6% for the medium-skilled and 5.5% for the high-skilled. These rates have been accelerating far faster for the high-skilled group than for the rest. Skilled immigrants accounted for more than half of all admissions in Australia, Canada and New Zealand in 2001. The global war for talent is likely to intensify. Most developed countries are already struggling to find enough doctors and teachers, and are wondering how they will manage when the baby-boomer generation retires. Developing countries, for their part, realise that they will not be able to plug into the global knowledge economy unless they give their people the freedom to move around.

Hello gurus,
I woked with Company A and got my I140 approved(PD sep 04 EB2). I had issue with Company A that they asked me wait to apply my I485 in july 2007 wave. I frustrated and moved to Company B and substitued another labor(PD May-2002 EB3), got theI140 approval and 485 is pending from july 2007. In the Meantime, Company A withdrawn my approved EB2 I140 petition couple of months ago to protect one of their employee I140 petition.
Currently i believe the situvation is not good for EB3 and planned to enable my "Company A" I140 petition to apply for I485. Will USCIS allow company A to enable the withrdrawn I140 petition to apply my I485? Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Natan

My cousin has I-20's from Universities A and B.he got F1 Visa with University A's I-20.
He is in India and he wants to go to University B.
Could anybody tell if he can directly go to University B and complete the transfer process from there? or does he need to go to University A, complete the transfer process and then go to University B?
does it create any problems at Port of Entry ?
PS: I have not started GC process yet. So, I didn't update my profile.
I believe you coud've done that before the introduction of the SEVIS system. Now you will have to first report to the university that you got the visa for, and then fill out a new SEVIS form and then change to another university.

The job does not need to require Masters degree. Unlike Greencard filing under EB2 vs EB3 it is not any harder to get H1 under Masters quota, all you need is Masters from accredited univ. You need to figure out what the RFE is for.

This is not a substitution case, ETA-750 says requires graduation in mathematics, which I have but my % is less than 60, so just verifying if they will look for % acquired, now don't ask me why i secured less than 60% that is history and I cannot change.

- If I get a new H1 sponsored (NOT a transfer of existing H1) and join a new company in a totally different job family (New H1 is not an issue because it is from a H1 cap exempt organization)
AND
- Also maintain the current H1 (I will continue part time work here to get minimum wage)
- Will continue my GC process with this co
I know this is possible but I want to know if there are any potential issues here that can jeopardize my current GC process. I am willing to do this only if my current GC process is not hurt in any way.
the second H1 should be marked for concurrent employment. As long as you follow all rules of the H1 LCA, there is no problem.
