I am also trying to stay afloat through the very debatable AC21 process. Currently, my case is being handled by Ron Gotcher and I have been very happy with all the help and support so far. Not to mention, they are really reasonable.
Thanks for sharing. I don't think AC21 is very debatable as I have seen ppl used AC21 and currently holding GC without any unwanted issues.
BTW When did you assigned your case to him? is it very recently?

To all Bachelors
1. you can files your I485 and later add your spouse if the dates are current or you have the priority date.
2.You can apply for EAD during I485 and at the same time can be on H1 unless you don't change an employer using EAD.
3.Unless you add your spouse to I485 process..you have to maintain your H1 status as your spouse will be on H4.
4.BY any chance your I485 is approved before adding your spouse(present in US)..you have 180days to apply for your spouse.
5.If your I485 is approved when your spouse in outsite USA..then you have to go for consular processing.
6. No one exactly knows if the PD will remain same or not.
So anyone about to marry or planning to get married,talk to your attornies about your situation and take a decision.

I am getting mentally prepared for much much longer wait.
Thanks
meaning you are also planning to marry a US citizen....nothing wrong
This trend will accelerate more in years to come.
When i first came in 1999 marrying us citizen was sort of heard of by IT folks.
by 2003 i was coming across so many cases of marrying us citizen.
among non indians its very common resulting in their PD being more recent.
In fact my friends who went for marrying citizen ...are way better placed in life.
It become so hard to marry from india now with contract jobs lasting short time and salary being so low after cut form h1b vendors. eventually teh pain will reach the point of yield.

Great work Alok in getting this endorsement from AAPI and Dr Koli. This goes to prove that we are getting more and more broad based support.
IV has been endorsed by Dr Vijay N Koli, President of American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin! http://www.aapiusa.org/index.aspx
AAPI, under the able leadership of Dr Koli and its Legislative Director, Anurag Varma, have been helping us behind the scenes. With acceptance of this Advisory Role Dr Koli has chosen to formalize this relationship.
Dr Koli is an Internal Medicine physician who has been in practice for over 27 years in San Antonio, TX and who has ably led AAPI on some fresh initiatives. One of these involves AAPI formally providing expertise to the Indian Government in healthcare � this was formally acknowledged by the Prime Minister of India as one of the great initiatives at the latest Pravasi Bharatia Divas.
Our cause is strengthened by Dr Koli and AAPI & their blessings!

Only this part looks scary ... if u have had issues with employer and have not left him amicably, they may revoke 140 ...What can we do if employer revokes 140 ?

If it was EB2, you have better chance of winning lotto than get EB2 approved with 3 year degree. I had 3yrs + PG Diploma + 6 Years of Indian Experience + 13 Years of US experience and I was never able to cross the labor certification hurdle. BTW, I tried 2 times.
Hello,
My I-140 got denied based on my Education.
I have 3 yrs + PG Diploma which is equivalent to US Degree according to my education evaluation.
Experience:
- 6 yrs of OUTSIDE USA experience
- 5 yrs of USA experience including 2 yrs of experience with current company.
- I am working as FULL time with an American Company at present
The JOB Description for PERM was:
"Bachelor�s degree in Computer Science plus 5 years experience; 3 year Bachelor�s degree plus 2 year post-graduate diploma in Software Engineering and 5 years experience acceptable. "
Gurus, please help me providing some info, if there is any chance of getting it approved if I file a Motion.. or what should I do next?
Since it was denied on Aug 4th this month, I have 30 days to reopen this case..
Please advise me..
Thanks in advance..

Can you share which application this was for?
It is Adjustment of Status (AOS) application for the I-485 that my company/lawyers filed in 2007 August.

With a big questions mark on its cash position and a minimum outgo on salary estimated at Rs 500 crore a month, Satyam may lay off over 10,000 employees next month, says a recruitment firm.
"It is most likely that Satyam will cut 10,000 jobs next month as the company is left with no cash to pay the salaries. The current fiasco is likely to put pressure on salaries, which may reduce by 10 per cent due to the surplus of about 20,000 people in the jobs market," Headhunters India CEO Kris Lakshmikanth said.
Satyam interim CEO Ram Mynampati while admitting that the cash position is not encouraging, the company, however, has taken care of salary for December. Lakshmikanth said till Tuesday evening there were about 7,800 people from Satyam who had posted their resumes on job sites and by Wednesday afternoon, it has gone up to 14,000.
The uncertainty about jobs is killingly painful for the 53,000 employees of Satyam, especially when the industry is going slow on recruitment. Further, possibility of a takeover too looks distant as the accounting fraud done by the company would make it difficult for any firm to evaluate its correct market value, which is compounding the worries of the employees.
IT-BPO union Unites Professionals general secretary Karthik Shekhar said, "In case of any lay off at Satyam, we may take legal action." "We have received over 7,000 hits since the news break.
On Wednesday, in one hour we have seen over 800 hits (no of people visiting the site) from Hyderabad. People have been enquiries on how the union can help them," Shekhar added.
Here comes... "Bailout!!! (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Business/India_Business/It_is_for_Centre_to_decide_on_Satyam_Andhra_CM/articleshow/3951539.cms)" Indian Edition. After all that's the latest fashion in govt. All around the world. How can Indian Government ignore the corporate crooks of India?!

Hi All,
Could someone provide some guidance regarding my situation:
1. Currently on 6th year H1-B valid till Mar, 2008, with visa stamped in Mumbai Feb 2005.
2. Have applied for I-485, AP, EAD on June 25, 2007 as dependent on spouse's employment based GC (India, EB3, , priority date Jan 2003). Got EAD, have FP done.
3. The last time I came back from India in Feb 05 after visa stamping, I-94 was stamped with expiry date of 12/26/06 since passport was expiring then. Officer said I could go to local USCIS office and get new I-94 when I get passport renewed.
4. Went to local office with new passport, and officer says they cannot issue new I-94, and that I-94 at bottom of H1 is the valid one, no issues.
Finally coming to the main issue -> Recently got a new job and company wants to transfer H1, but says cannot apply for H1 transfer until I get a corrected I-94 from the airport I entered from.
Anyone with similar experiences, or knowledge of how to get a corrected I-94 ?
Also, any implications of my situation on the I-485 process ?
Thanks a lot for any input!
DVB
The easiest option is to travel outside the country and come back and get a new I-94. You might want tot go back to the local office where you went earlier, they might not issue a new I-94, but will be able to correct the date on the issued I-94, after you explain them the situation. A similar thibg happened to my wife on H4 few years ago. We went to the local office (Boston) and got it fixed.

IV is in touch with USCIS, Admin officials as well and continuing our efforts with lawmakers. A year ago it was difficult to imagine. We have covered lot of ground in the past one year and this year due to the support of all our members we feel very motivated. Visa bulletins are very negative and let it be an inspiration for all of us to work harder to get rid of retrogression.

My I485 is pending, recently I have changed my address online. I also recieved confirmation letters for this address change.
After 2 weeks of address change, USCIS issued an RFE. I have not yet received it, but I just want to prepare for this.
What could be the reason for this RFE? Is it common?

Don't need to get excited. Nothing has changed.. Its again depend on you if you want to file and get it rejected and then be a part of law suit or if you just want to wait till Oct. But so far all these are rumers. and good roumers never become true..
But nothing wrong with being hopeful.
IS THIS APPLICABLE ONLY TO JULY 2 FILERS? FOR OTHERS, IS IT ADVISABLE TO FILE I485 NOW?

ok so when would EB2 come back to its old status of Jan 2003(it was so for past 1.5 yrs atleast b4 jumping to june 2004 and again retogating)...would it be in this current fiscal yr..i.e b4 sept 2008 or it will take whole of nxt fiscal yr to come to that kind of dates?
I believe once it gets past Jan 2003 PD's, dates will move steadily.
