Thanks for all the replies. Its a very good point that the medical wil get delayed as i have mine scheduled next thursday.
Will see if there is any work around.
Also... You can submit your husbands work papers as you are a dependent.
If you are an engineer then definitely you should have an ecnr but you can have what ever is on your current passport
I dont know about 31 myself. i will update this posting if i go to the consulate tomorrow.

Dear All,
I had earlier submitted my paperwork for I-140 and I-485 concurrently via my lawyers during August 2007. On April 16th this year, I received email notification from USCIS that my I-140 had been denied, and that a letter describing this (with the reasons for denial and options available) was in the mail. That letter has yet to be received (it was probably mailed to the lawyers directly), but in the meantime, I would greatly appreciate your advice on this subject and a response to the following points, so I may plan the necessary action to defend my position:
a) I fully intend to appeal, but have been told that the success rate of such appeals is very low, in the 5-10% range. Would this be accurate?
b) Regrettably, my H1-B expired on January 24th, 2009. I should never have take the advice I did, but as a result, I now only hold an EAD and AP document, with EAD valid until Oct 2010 and the AP valid until Oct 2009.
c) Since my H1-B has expired, would denial of my I-140 automatically cancel my I-485 application? In such an event, am I allowed to stay in the country for the duration of my EAD and/or AP, and work for the same employer?
d) If I am not allowed to stay using my EAD/AP, would it help to re-apply for a new H1-B under premium processing? If necessary, I can even apply under a different company from my present employer (a wholly-owned subsidiary, also based in the US).
e) Another issue that may complicate this is the fact that I have already travelled once this year using my AP (after the H1-B expired), and this has been stamped on entry. Would this pose a problem with any new H1-B application?
I would really appreciate your taking the trouble to respond to the above queries, together with any advice you might have for someone in my position. Many thanks for your help.
Best Regards

I think all it is saying is that you need to submit the approved labor certification application with your i-140/485 concurrent application, as far as i can remember my lawyer sent in my approved labor cert appli with my concurrent filing appli.. although please check with ur lawyer...
This is FAQ from USCIS website:
Q1: Will USCIS reject a concurrently filed EB I-140/I-485 case if it is lacking a required Labor Certification?
A1. USCIS will not accept an I-140 based on a required labor certification application if the approved labor certification application is not submitted in connection with the filing. USCIS will not accept a concurrently filed Form I-485 if the required Form I-140 is rejected for lack of an approved labor certification application.
-----------------------------------------------
Anyone knows what that means? I have filed 140/485 concurrently on July 2nd 2007. However, I never received original LC document and my lawyer said it is okay to file 140 without original LC document, USCIS will collect it from DOL. Do you think this will affect me?
Thanks

Thanks casinoroyale, this is a good idea. Will make the change to display complete heading in the 'Recent forum posts' when you scroll your mouse on top of the heading of the post of the homepage.
Thank you. Is it possible to just increase the length or wrap it instead of displaying "Tooltip" when the user mouse-overs it?

If your previous company has closed down, there isnt any way you can port the PD.
PD transfer can be done if you have an approved I-140. Since you didnt reach that stage and also since the company is no longer around ( which kills any possibility of filing 140 with them ) , you wouldnt be able to port your PD.
Also for PD transfer through approved I140, your job responsibilities, your location of work etc do not play any role.
Thanks for the reply. I guess no luck is good luck in the present immigration system.:mad:

Translate it. Sign a letter of your compretence of English ? Hindi language & get it notarized. It is that easy. Do not waste a signle penny on translation. I have been doing it for ages.
I can give you the format on email.

from the regional Passport Office? They probably issue a standard PCC.
I think the idea is a certificate that says that you do not have any criminal record.

i woudl think the actual number porting is miniscule...
but what i dont understand is why is USCIS hiding the data..why cant they reveal the exact number of application... and at what stage they?
Even an annual release would be very helpful...:confused:
It may be a common thing - swaying away from EB3 to Eb2 for earlier PD holders and there by choking up some EB2 space but shouldn't that cause loosening ( i'm not talking substantial ) in EB3 Priority Date ?
I mean EB3 India Priority Dates seems to have a Coma and that always hover around Aug/Oct 2001 - for last few years its like , it moves like some months and then scrolls down.

Hi,
I hope, all is well.
I filed my applications for Green Card. I did concurrent filing for I-140 & I-485 applications in September-2007. I got EAD in December-2007 but I-140 case is still pending.
I am working with the company which filed my Green Card but very soon I would resign from them/there as there is no work over there. They would still continue my I-140 case even I resign from there.
I need your help as:
(1) Can I work on 1099 (as I have EAD & I-140 is still pending)?
OR
(2) I need to work on W2 (means: cannot work on 1099) [as I have EAD & I-140 is still pending]?
Please, advise me as soon as possible.
:confused:
Best regards,
Rajiv
I always thought that your I-140 *has to be* approved before you can change jobs with the AC21 rule... no?

This is the danger with a "green card shop" company. They constantly have people joining and leaving them. Not a problem for H-1b but a major problem with GC processing.
Here is an example with company X which has ability pay for up to 50 employees at any point.
X applies 30 I-140s in 2005 [less than 50]
X applies 25 I-140s in 2006, and 20 of the 2005 count have quit. Total employees are less than 50.
X applies 30 I-140s in 2007, and another 20 have quit. Total employees are less than 50.
One would think since they have less than 50 empoyees and ability to pay for 50 employees, they are safe. This will work for H-1b, but not for GCs.
Since GC is for future employment, the company is required to have the ability to pay all 85 employees after they become permanent residents. It does not matter if they have quit the company. The asumption is all 85 will be employed by X on GC approval and so X is expected to be able to pay all of them.
This is what has happened here. When such a problem comes up, then they can (and sometimes do) pull back previously approved 140s too.

Not really. I truly believe the Skill bill will be passed by mid next year to allow all STEM Masters to stay back and adjust status automatically like in Australia. There is a crisis in the US with very few students entering STEM and the US will very likely retain international students by hook or crook. This will also clear the queue for non US qualified temporary workers in the queue for green card.
The chances of the bill being passed in the current pre-election highly charged political atmosphere is minimal at best. But then one never knows..!
Thanks! guys.....All in the same boat then....Screwed.....

485 and FP will have same receipt number, you should get 3 recipt numbers for each (485, AP and EAD) ..
We have
1 LIN Receipt number for 485 (and FP)
2 LIN Receipt numbers for EAD
2 LIN Receipt numbers for AP
total of - 5 receipt numbers.

I think that to move to EB2 with the same employer, it may be possible to count experience from the same employer if the new role you are moving to is atleast 50% different from what you are doing in your current role.
I am not an attorney and so you should consult one about this, though. Can anyone who knows this comment?

CTS is doing gc by EB1 for some people by L1A
My company has filed for EB-1 multinational manager for me.....I was on L1A earlier. I dont think the process is as fast as some folks think......specially since for EB1 manager category I140 premium processing is not allowed......
I guess the requirement for L1A is that one should be managing a business, people and processes...... and should have been employed in managerial capacity for the same company outside US......once L1A is done (it takes 5-6 days under premium procesing).....my understanding is that it establishes a strong basis for EB1 filing

Such are the erratic ways of USCIS that we are all in the paranoid zone. When you get the unexpected (i.e. paper mail and no online approval) it does make us wonder and asntonished. There is an old Turkish proverb "When you burn your lips drinking hot milk you start blowing on your yogurt"
I hope sense prevails and all the EB2s whose PDs are current get their GCs.

Hi Friends,
Recently, my brother's wife got GC-rejection. Though, my brother has already received his GC. The reason is : her status was invalid for a month in US. She got different I-94 expiration date than him during her first visit in 1999, though they landed here together. But, her I-94 expired earlier than my brother and he extended her Visa based on his I-94 expiration date. My brother did not realize it until now.
What are her option now? The attorney is applying for re-consideration based on husband & kids status (US born), but, they said chances of the acceptance are very slim. They are well settled here. Now, they need to go back to India just because of her GC-rejection. And of course she can not come back here again unless she applies for H1-B. This is very devastating for them after living here for more than 10 yrs.
Has anyone faced similar situation earlier. I guess it is a very common mistake and there must be some solution. Please share your thoughts/experience.
Thanks,
