I spoke with my lawyer again and he said that we are fine using the experience on my current job. The company that is petitioning my application is where I got most of the experience mentioned in my labor. What do you recommend I do at this point ?
I will try and talk to another lawyer and get their views on this issue. Can I retain my priority date and file under perm at this stage. I am so stressed, I waited four years for my labor and it is about to go to hell. :mad:

Thanks, crystal. But what would happen if I wait now and just say, hypothetically, my I-140 is denied?

Sorry, I did not phrase it properly. Apologize.
The previous post was so frustrated because EB3 is unavailable. So I was trying to say, in his point of view, it would have been a different case if the PD is somewhere around 2005/2006/current, may be he would have been ok with the Bachelor's degree.
What I was trying to emphasize is - Many a times (not always) employers don't create job position with proper requirement and that causes employee to go in EB3.
I was hired for a position that required Masters and I fortunately was in EB2, but a colleague of mine, who is doing the similar work, was put in EB3 because his manager created the position with a requirement of Bachelors. He had a Master's degree. Here employee suffered because of his manager's ignorance however USCIS is messing up on top of that. EB3 is an umbrella category for many kind of workers...including those who don't even require a Bachelor's. Probably those people should be in a new category EB4 ...at least this will help EB3 with Bachelor's degree move forward.
Another thing is - Some people (not in this particular thread) don't care much about EB3 people and some are even thinking of filing lawsuit against interfile (so that people can't switch from EB3 to EB2). IMHO, these people need to change their opinion. If we fight among ourselves instead of against bad laws, we will be doomed. United we stand, divided we fall !!
The bottom line is - we are aware of the problems; we just need to support IV to fight against these problems.

He says in the talk, the job market in India is booming right now and it offers promotion opportunitieis etc ...
In some places, depending on your experience and capabilities, you might as well get comparable salary to US. Given that cost of living is low in India, you might end up with same disposable income after taxes and expenses.
Good to hear that Americans are getting an idea what it would be to live in a shell in a global economy. Germany, UK opened up their borders and more EU countries might follow suit like Netherlands, Belgium, lastly France.
Not forgetting Canada in the mix, Canadian permanent residency is attainable in between 9 months to 24 months if one applies while residing in the US as a skilled worker and has work experience.
And this just yesterday :
ABOARD TP-01, NORTHERN MEXICO — Mexican President Vicente Fox has proposed that Canada open its doors to growing numbers of unskilled Mexican "guest workers" to deal with a looming labour shortage brought on by an aging Canadian population.

At the end of the day the US stands to be the looser. It appears that congress has forgotten about the impending retirement of over 75 million baby boomers. I am aware of many friends stuck in the BEC's or endless H1B extensions who are applying for Canadian permanent residency which they attain in as little as 9 months (if the interview is waived and depending on the skill). It will be no wonder if Canada soon becomes a destination for many skilled workers from the US who abandon their quest to become GC holders in the face of excruciating backlogs and needless hoops and hurdles.

Immigration Minister Joe Volpe, who will table his annual report to Parliament today, says Canada hopes to be taking in as many as 300,000 immigrants a year within five years, and will start by raising its target for next year to between 225,000 and 255,000. Canada is on track to accept 245,000 this year, the very high end of last year's target.
"We have to start thinking about the Immigration Department as a recruiting vehicle for Canada's demographic and labour market needs . . . we are the lungs of the country," said Mr. Volpe in an interview with The Globe and Mail. "We are producing more jobs than the labour market has workers for. . . . We're desperate for immigration."

Strange, I'm not able to replicate the problem. All I can think of is that your mouse has lost focus on the SWF, perhaps due to the over-vigorous motion beforehand? Try clicking on the SWF to regain focus and see if slow moments work for you again.

My I485 application was approved aug 2nd and I got the card on aug 15th.
In the mean time my spouse application was also approved on aug 2nd but last week we got an email saying the card is returned undeliverable on aug 23rd.and aug 24th we got another email saying a notice was sent to the same address and that was also undelivered and there would be serious effects if the address is not updated.
We got our finger prints and everything in the same address and I am not sure why it was returned undeliverable.
Also I called the customer service on Aug23rd and 24th and updated the address.
any one in the same situation?
Does anyone know how long it would take for them to resend the card?
Thanks

Hi!
I received my GC in first week of September'09. After receiving GC I have continued with my sponsor till now - & they continued giving me pay (after the usual big cut from my rate). During the I-485 petition filling my employer has given a letter to USCIS for "future" employment with a fixed base salary. They never gave me this after the GC & now if I go on "bench" they are refusing to give me any salary (since I am using GC & they are not bound to give me the H1B minimum wage!).They may continue my medical insurance (for family & me) provided I pay the whole part! I wanted to continue with my sponsor for six months after GC but under these circumstances is it OK to leave them now & if I face any issue at naturalization will this be a valid reason to convince the officer(in case they ask this question)- although I do not have anything in writting from my employer(except the "future employement letter" & paystubs & e-mail replies to my queries for this)
I am leaving many opportunities just to be with my sponsor for this six months!
Please guide.
Thanks,
Raj

When the primary files I-485 AOS application, the spouse and minor children are also allowed to file AOS if they are physically present in US in a legal status. It is irrelevant if they are on H4, F1, B1 etc.

Yes they do it. They do random google searches. Our issue is not resolved just because they are given directive not to use wikipedia, because they may use a lot of other resources on the internet.

Here is an idea: say we have roughly 500 members out of this vast array of 35000+ members who have the heart and the will to contribute. we get $2000 from each and place it in an escrow trust account that does not release money for expenditure unless we reach $1 mln
We need to identify number of people who can really make a big chunk of one time contribution (like $500,$1000,$2000), and we should aim at scoring atleast 2000 committed members, so that per person share would be $500. Once we have the pledge from committed members; IV shall announce the fund raising day (instead of fund raising thread) in advance, all committed members will contribute the same day (optimistic).

This is where you start showing streaks of schizophrenia ..
What do you hope to achieve?? that they will send your 485 to some "experienced" IO???
First..
None has ANY idea what's going on inside of USCIS.. by one account something like 30% of experienced adjudicators quit last year!
Second..
Even if lets say you get what you want.. what would that achieve??? ultimately your case gets decided on its merit..
But chances are people like you.. you will put another question and then 1 more and then 1 more..

A question on consular processing vs I-485. She already has a tourist visa. Also since she is deriving her green card status from mine, her priority date is current. Could she come to US on her tourist visa and we file for I-485 here instead of doing consular processing?

Hi,
I applied I-140 using substituted labor(13th July 2007, receipt no yet to come) on future employment basis ..
Since, USCIS has allowed filing for I-485, I wanted to file my I485, with my future employer but he is not ready to file I485 until I come to his payroll.
I need your valuable suggestions to make my decision, my questions are:
1. If I want to join on his payroll, I have to leave my existing company/Client, so that I485 can be filed ... Should I agree for this? what's your opinion???
2.How safe do you think, idea of leaving my current established long term client and finding new client through him , for filing i485 purpose ?
3. Also, I am not sure about how/when my labor substitution will be approved? And in worst case, if it gets rejected, where I am going to be( I completed 3.5 years on my H1 visa which means I have 2.5 years remaining in my 6 year)???
5.What are the benefits (and in what timeframe) I can expect if I decide to file I485 now ?
Many Thanks in Advance!!
