I agree
I was just thinking if it would help to gain more publicity if this site goes by a different name. On several instances while calling lawmakers or other people, the moment I mention immigrationvoice.org they think it is related to Illegal immigration / CIR etc. I need to stress that it is about legal immigration.
Even the flyers don't catch enough attention
Any name that does not have immigration in it (something like numbersusa), and reflects our main focus - green card retrogression and legal immigration would help - Just a thought...

porting can be beneficial but attempt it only if you are 100% sure that it will succeed and talk to your lawyer before you do it and don't attempt to do it yourself. it will be a lengthy process with increased scrutiny. 3-4 months for labor and atleast 1 year for 140 processing and moreover DOL is making it tougher for EB2 with strict adherence to the rules and increased scrutiny. after all this, there is a very high likelihood of getting RFE from USCIS at 485 stage. if any EB3 person has EAD, AP then it would be best to play it safe and stay with EB3 as you already have the benefits of EAD and AP. I know it would be much much better if you have a green card, but would you have it safe and sure or do you want to go through all the stress of refiling and preparing for all the problems in the process? it should be ones own personal choice. moreover I am hopeful that things will move favorably after the elections with the immigration reform and might result in some relief for all EB categories
Thanks all for the various responses. However, Immique, what kind of RFE can be expected @ 485 stage?
Also, I have moved to Biz Dev from an engineer after my Labor. I now have my 140 and EAD. Is there any risk because of my change in role?

House is currently controlled by the Republicans. If they do not pass the bill it would give the perception that the Bush admin. is ineffective. Bush's public rating have nose dived because of Iraq and now but if the bill doesn't pass it will show that he has no support in his own party. His core base is conservative Rep.
Also, it would be better for Republicans to pass the bill with some changes while they still control the house, once Dems gain House majority it may be too late for them to steer the passage of this bill with their amendments. This is a major issue, which I think will push them to pass this bill.
Bush will have to lean hard on some of the House Republicans to make this happen. He has publically commented on his intention of signing the bill by the end of the year.
These issues make me believe that House has to pass a bill. But again, politics is not logical.

With all due respect.. members (including senior members) have just made the entire e-filing discussion (EAD / AP) just bit complected..
Here is the link to USCIS website, which specifically talks about e-filing forms (Top right side of the page).

If the link doesn't work then go on uscis.gov >>> select Immigration Forms >>> select Electronic Filing (Left side of the page) >>> select Forms Currently Available for E-Filing.
Once there you can read all about e-filing and click on the desired form to move forward.
Good luck fellow members.

So i shld be ok. :)
I wonder the reasons for Switzerland to be #1. Its a small country with minimal immigration and not much resources. Key revenue might be from Tourism. They are not known for scientific work etc.
... Maybe swiss bank accounts are key to it ! ;)

Who r u to ask him to get lost??? Just becoz u have so many greens dozn't mean that u can rule the roost. Therez something called as freedom of speech and hez just using it. Its a free forum and u cant dictate terms here while u r a member here urself. Accept the truth and live with it. Whyz that some desis get so offended when someone rightly points out the dirty behavior of desi employers? He has a point and u need to respect that. And yes this is immigration related and causes awareness among the legal immigrant community. If that dozn't get into ur thick skull then God knows what doz. Maybe visa bulletin monitoring and RFEs and PDs???
Go on give me reds now...
Yes, the motive of the original poster could be questioned due to the nature of his first post. But do we really have a set rules for the first post. I have seen some new members getting reds coz they ask for help in their first post and get bombarded for not contributing or helping others.
This post does not and cannot imply that any significant percentage of indians are into visa scams to make money. Whatever the original posters intention, this is a relevant post since it is immigration related. Most indians and similarly most EB GC applicants are legal, law abiding folks. Lets not get offended or take this personally. We have to mature and show that just coz some section of 'our' people do a misdeed does not reflect that all of those people are of the same color or morals.

I guess when it comes to GC processing, NOTHING is really "wrong" is it? If you get a chance to work around and beat the long lines, I guess "It's all good". Some people are lucky that they get a chance to get Labor Sub, some ppl marry the GC and some ppl like the rest of us wait in line like "honest citizens".
The REAL question is, just how many of us would have refused a good labour sub, given the present conditions, solely on the basis that "it is unfair to others"? I know i would have taken it. Reason? It's LEGAL (or used to be). Our "misfortune" (if i can use that word), is that we did not get a similar chance.
For those wondering, what I am babbling about: "Let's not look down on this guy who got his GC approved by Labour Sub, or even continuously point out that he did."
Fellas, I exactly understand your pain you feel when you see a person like me with Labor Substutute ending GC journey in 3 years.
I know my words are not going to change your opinion or make your pain feel less but be rest assured that i had gone thro same agony and distress as you during this immigration process for past 10 years. I entered USA as F1 in Aug/1997. I had been legally working (ResearchAssistant/OPT/H1) eversince. Before that I had 3 years of experiance in top indian company as an engineeer. Many of my Batch mates have received their GCs 4-5 years ago. So logically i should have got my GC then since i had alredy busted by B*** enough so that USA economy gets benefitted.
I coulnnt get GC because i was late in applying. Are you going to now say that simply because i was late in applying to GC, my efforts put in job for my employer are worthless to get an immigrant benefit?
I put the same point to my employer who rightfully agrreed with it and helped me with a labour substitute. I am sure if you had a valid case , a genuine USAbased employer would have done the same to you.
Anyways, I belive all of those who had applied GC after July VB will get their cards within next 6 months due to economics of situation. USA is on the verge of reccession right now lead by crappy housing market. The USA government does understand that EB based immigrants do have a (lot of) money and if they pump that money in USA economy , the recession could be avoided/be less severe. Also Conservative Bush administration people ( lIke Attorney General Alberto Gonzales) are resigning and are being replaced by less fanatic administrators. So (artificial) crapy things like Namecheck can not be cooked anymore. This will result in many many apporvals. Trust me no one can ask feds if thay give millions of GCs to legal immigrants (Off course the converse is not true- yaa the VB scenario) so expect your approval soon.
Thanks you, Wish you all hte best and Good Bye.
BTW , i have also contributed $100 to IV so far.

Also there could be election year effect because most of the resources at NSC are directed to work on Naturalization cases but why to single out just EB3 cases ? Didn't they have sufficient approved EB2 140 at hand to give them a 485 ?
I never imagined being stuck for 15 months for a 140 - at the most 9-12 months was my worst case analysis. My plans of porting from Eb3 to Eb2 got ruined , job change AC21 all preparations went haywire. I've already renewed EAD card once but can't use it confidently unless this Eb3 140 is approved .
How come EB3 at TSC is going smoothly - didn't they get the directive like NSC to stop working on EB3 140 's ?
....................
But here is something very interesting I just noticed from the list. A bunch of the approvals for July 2007 filers occurred during Jan-Feb 2008, but after that NOTHING!! I can only speculate that under some directive, they were ordered not to touch our cases after that timeframe. I *think* it was because they wanted to use up the EB2 visas, so they only worked on that moving forward, that's why ~ 80% of July-Aug EB2 140's have been processed so far.
But again I reiterate, many of us will see the silver lining & feel the sunshine this year .................

Are you sure? Did you put your checks or attorney used his?
They may have been deposited, but I havent seen it clear off of my account yet, or my bank may be slow, but I do have another friend who is in the same scenario, I am guessing it should clear off my account today though.

This is how it should be done...
- request USCIS to port your PD from already approved I-140 from past employer
USCIS may or may not do it for you
- if not apply for I-485 using Category of 2nd (should be EB2) and PD from 1st one. You need to attach both of these with I-485 application and of course a covering letter stating what you are doing.
Here is the extract from the law -
QUOTE
(3) Priority Date Based on Earlier Petition.
If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example:
Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification.

Team,
I am in eb3 with priority date jan/2007 and working with EAD and 485 pending.
my sponsered employer willing to promote me with my position and i was having thought of filing a new case in eb2 and port my eb3 priority date. my company has different sister company working in different areas, can I file my eb2 application from other sister company not from the company where my eb3 is filed?
Also I have 3 years degree and 1 year pgdca plus 10 plus years of experience. I wanted to know if you know anybody who filed eb2 with 3 years degree and 1 year pgdca? according to my research i may have trouble at 140 stage?
if my eb2 gets denied, what happens to my eb3 case?
Please advice.
Thanks,
Matt.
Its tough at I-140. But you wont have any issues with EB3

Medical Examination is going to be really bad once more. It is going to be a long queue. Keep on trying by calling the doctors and do not rely near by doctors. If you are in near by MA I suggest you Dr. Sanjeev Sharma really a great and reliable doctor we can trust. Where are you by the way????
