The way I see it, this is a step towards getting more revenues for USCIS. With the elimination of concurrent filing, USCIS is expecting more applications for I-140 premium processing, which will lead to additional revenues.
They are going in the opposite direction, looks like our efforts have angered them more than anything else.

When I was hired last spring, I was not told about GC retrogression by my employer. I beleive they should have explained in graphic detail and if they done so I would not have left a good job and my home in Canada to move to an American nightmare.
I recently discovered that I have at least a 5 year wait as an EB-3. My teenage daughter will be too old to get a green card as a dependent and my wife is seriously depressed about not being allowed to work.
How many other people are as P-Oed as I am and is there a class action suit here?
I'm pretty upset too after getting the same nasty surprise. Fortunately I only have about 100 miles to move to return home. I'm surprised that a major corporation like the one that hired me would be so sleazy.

As far as I know, starting a PERM application in itself does not amount to an intent to immigrate - it is simply a labor market test for a future position.Remember, the employer can port the LC to a different employee at a later date. I-140, however is an application to immigrate permanently to the US; hence a violation of the F1 visa. You may have a difficult time getting your I-485 approved or have to go in for consular processing. It is best you consult a lawyer on this one; don't count on random opinions on the forum for such a serious issue.

Hi breddy2000:
Thanks for your reply and was RFE similar to mine?
Here is content of RFE:
Exact RFE text is:
1. Software consultants: The evidence indicates that the petitioner is engaged in the business of software development and computer consulting and is seeking the beneficiary�s services as computer programmer/analyst. However, the record does not show whether the petitioner is the actual employer of acting as an agent who arranges short-term employment for workers who are traditionally self-employed. As such, the evidence is insufficient to establish whether a specialty occupation exists for the beneficiary; and whether there was a bonafide job offer at the time of filing. USCIS must examine the ultimate employment of the alien, and determine whether the position qualifies as specialty occupation. Please clarify the petitioner�s employer-employee relationship with the beneficiary and provide evidence as follows:
A. Petitioner as the employer: If the petitioner is the employing entity, it must establish that it will hire, pay, fire, supervise, or otherwise control the work of the beneficiary. Evidence must be provided that establishes a specialty occupation position actually exists at the petitioner�s business location and that there is an employer-employee relationship. If the beneficiary will perform some work for clients outside the petitioner�s work site, evidence must be provided of the conditions of employment.
B. Petitioner as an Agent performing the function of an Employer: If the petitioner is an agent acting as the employer, it must guarantee the wages and other terms and conditions of employment through a contractual agreement with the beneficiary, and provide an itinerary of definite employment. The petitioner must establish that a specialty occupation position actually exists and that the beneficiary�s work will be under the control of the petitioner.
C. Petitioner is an Agent acting as a Representative for Multiple Employers: If the petitioner is acting as the representative for multiple employers, the terms and conditions of the employment for each of those employers must be explained and supported with an itinerary of definite employment. Copies of contracts between the employers and the beneficiary would further substantiate the petitioner�s claim of qualifying employment.
Depending on the petitioner�s employment circumstances, the evidence may include but is not limited to:
a. a description of conditions of employment, such as contracts of letters from authorized officials of the ultimate client companies, listing salary of wages paid, hours worked, benefits, a brief description of who will supervise the beneficiary and their duties, or any other related evidence;
b. contractual agreements, statements of work, work orders, service agreements letters from authorized officials of the ultimate client companies where the work will actually be performed, that provide a comprehensive description of the beneficiary�s proposed duties;
Note: Providing evidence of work to be performed for other consultants or employment agencies who provide consulting or employment services to other companies may not be sufficient. The evidence should show specialty occupation work with the actual client-company where the work will ultimately be performed.
c. an itinerary that specifies the dates of each service of engagement, the names and address of the actual employers, and the names and addresses of the establishment, venues, or locations where the services will be performed for the period of time that the temporary employment is requested;
d. copies of the petitioner�s present and past job vacancy announcements; classified advertisements soliciting for the current position, showing educational requirements, and the conditions of employment;
e. documentary examples of the petitioner�s products or services (e.g. copies of: business plans, reports, presentations, evaluations, recommendations, critical reviews, promotional materials, advertisements, designs, blueprints, newspaper articles, website text, news copy, photographs of prototypes, etc. presented in an 8 - x 11 inch format);
f. documentation of past employment practices showing H-1B employees routinely met conditions of employment, including full or part-time hours, and that the petitioner always fully pay their workers throughout the time periods requested. List of all non-immigrant employees and provide the receipt numbers for their approved petitions (e.g. WAC____).
g. Any other documents of appendices that petitioner feels will substantiate sufficient qualifying employment.

Looks like they have come up with a standard RFE for every H1 . You need to analyse in which category/categories(A,B,C above) your RFE falls under , and respond accordingly.

What is interesting is that 2 days before I received the CPO email I also received FP notices which is scheduled for first week of Nov. So I am confused whether or not they really approved my I-485.

I agree with Bob here, as I've shot with both Nikon D1's and F5's from back in the day, to the latest stuff. I've done the same with Canon through the 90's and the current crop.
I feel like Canon has the upper hand on Nikon currently in both bodies and lenses.
Bob did label his opinion, most likely without thinking about it -- with the IMHO, to avoid attacks as such. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and none of us can 100% say that Canon lenses are better than Nikons.. No one here does bench tests, price comparisions, etc.. It's just field use and preference that determines this.
Back into your corner's fighters! Let's argue about sports or hot women before we waste our time on the merits of macro lenses!
Back to the topic at hand.. I think the Nikon is probably her best bet because of the build quality and apparently the kit lens is pretty damn good. You can pick up the D70 w/o the kit lens for $999 MSRP, which is only $100 over MSRP the 300D. So maybe the first question is, decide if either kit lens is fine for you. Then determine the build quality, and lastly determine which lens system you might want to grow into.
I don't think you can make a bad decision either brand you go with. We can all be happy with that. Competition is good.

I think my original question still remains unanswered.
1. I do not have my I-485 receipt notice(I do have the numbers though)
2. I do not have EAD/AP(Employer did not let us apply)
3. I'm already in my 7th year of H1. Current stamp expires in Sep'2008.
Can I invoke Ac21 somehow?
I would suggest that you apply for EAD/AP yourself without lawyer's help. I think you can just use receipt numbers.

[QUOTE=sammas;1967354]Probably the RFE might be related to photos not being sent. A friend of mine received a RFE for not sending the photos eventhough they are not required to be sent but he did not get any Biometrics notice. [QUOTE=sammas;1967354]
Sammas, May be it was lost in the mail, so your friend did not receive and the USCIS issued an RFE.
Austingc,
What do you mean by lost in the email? What are you referring to here? I am sorry, I did not get what you are trying to mention here.
The RFE was to send the photographs. Online status also was changed to Request For Evidence and then once the photos were sent the status was changed back to resumed processing and after that the status was changed to Approved. Hope it is clear now.

All your friends who got 221G are not telling you the truth. Was all their paperwork complete and ok? Probably not. No friend will admit their mistake and fraud. So they are telling you half story and blaming it on others. 221G is a good thing. It shows government is looking at possibe fraud and security risk seriously. National security is very important and highest priority for us living in US. H1B visa as a whole got a bad name due to fraud. It is not just employers but employees are also responsible for it. Employees are not illiterate or dumb to not understand any fraud. I wish more serious work is done by the government on every greencard application. If the system has clean cases, no anti-immigrant will point any finger and say the whole H1B system is bad.

Hi,
I am currently on H1B and my 6 years is ending later this year. I have a Canadian PR and planning to move to Canada permanently before my H1 visa ends.
As I will be exporting my car I am planning to leave US by "Land"- mostly via Blaine,WA - Peace Arch border to enter BC, Canada.
The question I have is : where to return my I-94 (expired and the extended one that came with I797) when I leave by LAND as there are no "US CBP agents/office" when we leave US by land. I went through US CBP website and find that there is a process to send I-94 after leaving the country to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY".
Unfortunately as I will be entering as a Canadian PR, there will not be any stamp in my passport to record my entry to Canada and hence won't be able to prove to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY" my date of departure from US. The reason I am worried is that I don't want to get in to any overstay issues if I need to come to US in future.
Any thoughts/suggestions on how I can overcome this issue and record my departure correctly when leaving US via LAND?
Thanks in advance.
