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.

Actually its possible but my firm is against it. Firm is saying there are tax complications for them. If I move work location to Canada they will put me on Canadian Payroll, and will not renew H1B. They are ok with continuing GC however but if I need to travel to US then I will need to apply for tourist visa (B1/B2).

Thank you gemini123 for the quick reply. I'm in Texas and have to get it renewed in Houston. I was talking to a broker who would get it done in about 10 days as I'm planning to travel to India next month.
He asked me to send the original pasport along with the I-94. That didn't seem right to me.
Should we also send a I-485 receipt copy?
Also, I have a expired visa in my passport but my H-1B is valid till May 2008. I'm planning to travel to India through Amsterdam and use my approved AP for reentering US. Would I need a tranist visa if I'm just chaging planes at the airport? Thanks!

Stop advertising a lawyer. I find him very speculative. He wants everyone to come to his site and you are falling for it.
stupid comments considering one could say the same about IV if looking at it from the perspective of some of the posts here.
If you have nothing nice to say, maybe saying nothing may be the nicest thing. Sometimes links like this are actually very useful - especially to people coming here for the first time (or first few times)

Hi,
Thanks for your advice. I believe that my employer has no problem to write me a recommendation letter or sign support letter.
Do you believe I have a chance or not ? which one?
Thanks,
John
Well, your ideal bet is the standard EB2. It will require a labor certificate. The issue is that the cost of obtaining the labor certificate (including lawyer's fee and job advertisement costs; usually total around $5k-$6k) must be borne by the employer; it is the law. You can bear the rest of the cost (I-140+I-485+lawyer's fee for those two stages). If your employer is willing to at least pay for that, then go for it; you will get your GC within a year or two (assuming no major changes in the rules, situations, etc.).
If your employer is not willing to spend any money, then you have two options: EB1 or EB2-NIW; they do not need labor certificate.
The EB2-NIW category does not need employer's sponsorship. However, a support letter from the employer strengthens the case quite a lot. To prove yourself eligible for EB2-NIW, you need to argue that if a labor test is done and an eligible citizen or permanent resident shows up (and hence you cannot be hired), then it will be a *national* loss to the US. Basically this means you have to prove that your field *and* your individual work in the field are very important to the US nationally (i.e., not just to the particular part of the US where you live/work). Other than publications (number as well as quality), citations, and perhaps most importantly, a set of (10-15) recommendation letters from the well known leaders of your field are usually used to establish this.
The EB1-OR (outstanding researcher) category requires that you be in a "researcher" position and your company employs at least 5 other researchers (I am assuming that you are not a tenure-track faculty member in a US institute of higher education). If this is true, then your employer simply needs to "sponsor" you by providing a support letter. No labor certification is needed; so employer need not bear any cost; you are allowed to pay for the whole process. You need to establish that you are an "outstanding researcher" with international reputation.
From what you have told us, it seems that EB2-NIW might be possible for you, but you very likely do not satisfy EB1-OR's requirements. In any case, there is a good amount of randomness in the process and hence there is always a possibility of getting approved. So if your employer does not want to spend any money and you can spare the money, then it may be worth a shot applying for an EB2-NIW. If you decide to do so, get a good lawyer, though.

1. US Govt. revoked the policy to grant legal status to parents of US born children few years back(per NumberUSA they are called Anchor Baby-- go figure.. I hate this term very much).
GCCovet.
I see that term gets thrown around a lot when discussing illegal immigrants. And the words that come to my mind are "Even the mafia did not go after women and children". The fact that people attempt to reduce innocent children to a loaded label like that is nauseating.

As far as H-1, I don't understand: wont you need an H-1 transfer from your new employer, in that case the 3 yr extension will come from him, so it shouldnt matter if your old employer revokes I-140, since anyway you are planning to restart gc process.
Yes I do need the transfer from new employer but the original extension of H1B beyond six years is granted because I have an approved I140. I was wondering if revoking that I140 has any effect on the H1b too.
To give more specifics: six years of h1b will be completed in Feb �07. PERM labor is approved and lets say if I140 is approved by Jan, my plan is to do one of two things:
(i) Immediately apply for 3 year extension of H1B from present employer. Wait until it�s approved � the new H1b is valid until Feb �10. After approval apply for h1b transfer. Is this possible? After the transfer if original I140 is revoked, I assume UCSIS is not going to recall my h1b. Am I right? The extended h1b period is with me to keep � is my understanding right?
(ii) After the approval of I140 (say in Jan), I will apply for h1b transfer and extension with new employer (extension based on the fact that I have an approved I140 and that priority date is not current). The hitch here is the approved I140 is from a different employer than the one asking for h1b extension. Is this possible? (I know that one year extension based on pending labor is not tied to which employer applied for the labor; is this rule same for approved I140 related extension?). What is effect of I140 revoke on this case?
Thanks a bunch.

We see a lot of these articles every day praising illegal immigration. How about creating a google group with volunteers that will pick up such similar articels and post a rebuttal, either online or through another website?
The one we discussed yesterday was about how illegals contribute to the economy by paying $1.5 Billion in income tax for an estimated 15-20 million illegals.
This was estimated from the 2010 Census data.
We could initially post these rebuttals online on probably a section of the IV website and also send it to other news sites.
People who are good at parsing excel/MDB, csv sheets will be useful.
Most people are not aware of our issues and contributions to society.
Were you part of the call yesterday on the Filing I-485 when PD is not current....we do have plans like these...and take part.

OP - If you have a cooperative employer, I would say go for it. Given the rate at which EB2-I is progressing, you will get GC much sooner although the PERM process for EB2 may take a long time. Assuming you get an audit on your PERM, even if the entire process takes 1.5 years, you can get your 140 in PP and once your PD is ported, you are current. Even if the entire process takes 2 years (worst case), it's worth the effort. EB3-I will move at a very slow pace. As others suggested, you wont see significant movement till EB2-I is current.
Financially, the porting would make a lot of sense too. Assuming a family of 2, you are spending close to $1000 (or even more) per year on the AP and EAD renewals, not to mention the employer's cost of renewing the H1. When you go to your HR for starting the EB2 process, you want to put it in terms of how it's financially viable for the company. When you do the math, it's a win win for both the employer and the employee in the long run if you get the GC earlier.
I'd say go for it. Good luck!

Anyone can throw light into this one. Can we track APs now for NSC.

It will help lot of us who want to make some travel plans.. [some like us are eagerly waiting for past 4 yrs!!!]
Thanks to IV and all the members

that you will attend the DC rally... I won't tell you if I got the receipt notice;)
(I filed my AOS on July 2 at TSC)
TSC has officially progressed to 6/30 so the July filers should now start receiving their receipt notices! But the question is, what do we do after we get them, or in the worst case, if our AOS got rejected? There is nothing you or I can do at this time... the deadline to re-submit is over on August 17th.
The root cause of the whole problem is retrogression & country caps, and unless we speak up about it in one voice, no one will do anything to fix that root cause!
So keep looking at the road as you drive, but also take a moment to look beyond the next 1 mile... where there is a traffic jam in which you and I will get stuck for the next 5 to 10 years... unless we do something about it.. together!
So, please take a break from tracking receipts, and decide how long you are willing to renew EADs and worry about following the complex AC21 rules & regulations. If you are like me and not willing to do that forever, then make up your mind and attend the DC rally!
If you attend the rally, you can travel to DC for free/ a fraction of the cost, please look at these threads:

I have sold a house in US while being physically in India. All you need to do is give a notarized affidavit to your Realtor and you don't need to be on the closing table. There is always a solution to worst case scenarios. Dude do some googling and you'll know what I am talking about.
You need to live in that house for at least 5 years to recoupe the commision/closing cost. Will you pay the loss if someone needs to sell the house suddenly due to immigration.
