I wanted to get some idea on why EB2 got stuck around Jan 03 when it flew past Apr 01 deadline.
EB2 was completely unaffected by 245(i) and had no reason to be stuck on Apr 01.
EB2 being stuck around Jan 03 etc... could actually be a good news for EB3. Why? It means that the number of people who abandoned their EB3 PDs to escape retrogression and filed for EB2 is very large!
The key thing to watch for India EB3 people is that PD should remain beyond May 1st, 2001. If it doesn' revert back to April, we can assume steady progress.
All in all, I don't see any reason why Jan 2003 will have any -ve affect on EB3... it could be +ve though.

The text provided on the link below has the following section:
================
Question 10. Should service centers or district offices deny portability cases on the sole basis that the alien has left his or her employment with the I-140 petitioner prior to the I-485 application pending for 180 days?
Answer: No. The basis for adjustment is not actual (current) employment but prospective employment. Since there is no requirement that the alien have ever been employed by the petitioner while the I-140 and/or I-485 was pending, the fact that an alien left the I-140 petitioner before the I-485 has been pending 180 days will not necessarily render the alien ineligible to port. However, in all cases an offer of employment must have been bona fide. This means that, as of the time the I-140 was filed and at the time of filing the I-485 if not filed concurrently, the I-140 petitioner must have had the intent to employ the beneficiary, and the alien must have intended to undertake the employment, upon adjustment. Adjudicators should not presume absence of such intent and may take the I-140 and supporting documents themselves as prima facie evidence of such intent, but in appropriate cases additional evidence or investigation may be appropriate.
==========================================
Does this mean if I-140 is approved and I-485 petition has been pending less than 180 days, one can still change jobs using AC21?
Can someone please clarify? Thanks!
Look at this document. This should answer lot of questions regarding AC21

EB3 with PD June 2001 and I-485 was applied with RD of Oct 2002.
The online case tracking system has the status of case received and pending
Meanwhile, a call to USCIS revealed about the I-485 denial in Nov, 2005.
The I-485 was denied in Nov 2005 and we were not notified by USCIS and my attorney also did not get any denial notice.
How can the case be denied with out any notice? Do we have precedence on this level by USCIS?
I did a FP appt in Jan 2006 though.
I have been asked to refile I-485 now.

If you paper filed your EAD and have done finger printing recently that could be the reason for 485 LUD. Its my opinion after every finger printing there will be an LUD in 485
No. FP for EAD is catagory 2, FP for I485 is catagory 3. I have not seen any LUD on I485 for getting FP for EAD.
As suggested by "mittal_a" it should be due to AC21 or some other routine stuff.

Without you we would have never known this breaking news.
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin for January 2008 contains more bad news for Indian nationals in the EB2 category. The cutoff date for EB2, India, retrogressed by two additional years, to January 1, 2000. Moreover, the prediction contained in the Visa Bulletin for EB2, India, is that the annual limit could be reached within the next few months. If this occurs, the category will become "unavailable" for the remainder of the fiscal year.
The explanation for this is simply that demand for visa numbers by the USCIS for EB2, India, adjustment-of-status cases far exceeds supply
EB3 cutoff dates either remained unchanged or moved slightly forward, depending upon country of chargeability. The January Visa Bulletin cutoff dates become effective on January 1, 2008. Until that time, the December 2007 Visa Bulletin cutoff dates remain valid.
thanks

Hi IVians,
I am trying to file for my H1 renewal on my own, I want to know if somebody in this community has done that. Also since SESA takes a bit of time in terms of wage determination, can I use the DOL online wage library as my source. Any inputs would be appreciated.

I don't agree with what mbawa2574 has to say,but I certainly disagree banning mbawa for expressing views. I think, mbawa2574 is well within limits of posting anything that could hurt IV image/goals. ( On this thread, I mean).
What's the damage caused to your effort?( apart from deleting threads )
I'd rather help channel his thoughts and energies in a direction that helps IV than ban him.
mbawa2574, can you get in touch with some one in IV Core and put your thoughts on paper?
I'm sure you understand by now that IV is made of just you, me and bunch of other anonymous keyboard monkeys.
Cheers!
mbawa,
We regard IV website as an important tool to reach our goal. Please be cautioned that if we find you damage our effort, we will be forced to ban you from this website.

When you are applying for the PERM, who decides the requirements? Your employer who sponsors you, or the job itself?
Be wise. When we talk about whether we use MS+2 or BS+5, it doesn't mean we tailor the requirements. It's the issue of which is more important, the academic studies or the working experience.
You are right. The issue is which is more important, the academic studies or the working experience.
And, that is decided by the job that needs to be done, NOT by the employer who sponsors you.
If you were an employer sponsoring someone's Greencard, you would first write down the job decription and then decide if it falls under EB2 or EB3, not the other way around.
cheers,

A potential employer has offered me to substitute 2001 EB3 labor. Would DOL accept unapproved labor substitution ? what is the probability of rejection (assuming there is very good match).
What kind of queries can we expect from the DOL ? what questions should I ask the potential employer ?
Incidentally, How many applications are there in the backlog processing center by priority year ? Check USCIS about the labour substitution and if they find that you are no fit then they may deport you... 500,000 people are in line and your post says you might be new one who wants to get in the middle of the line..CareFul Watch Out

Hi, i was looking at Murthy chat log and it states since H1b is a dual intend visa one may keep H1b status and do part time job on EAD ... she did mention that the rules is not crystal clear on some of these issues, but the doctrine of dual intent allows a person to be in both the I-485 and H1B statuses and allows him/her to file H1B extensions, even if the EAD has been used for work, etc., has anyone done that in the past or knows somenone please reply?
Chat User : As many of us plan to start part-time businesses using EAD, if we are on H-1 and use an EAD for a part-time business, does it mean we abandon H1B status? Thank you for your service.
Attorney Murthy : Actually, the H1B allows for dual intent. So even if one uses the EAD to start a PT business, if one closes the business or files an H1B extension with the current employer, that is an option to resume H-1 status. The rules are not crystal clear on some of these issues, but the doctrine of dual intent allows a person to be in both the I-485 and H1B statuses and allows him/her to file H1B extensions, even if the EAD has been used for work, etc.
Chat User : I am applying for I-485 for my family, and my wife is on H1B. Can she travel to India on AP and work on H-1? Does she need to get H1B stamping, or can she use AP for travel and H-1 for work?
Attorney Murthy : The general rule is that, after a person uses the AP, the safer approach is to work on the EAD, but the law allows such a person to also file for H1B extensions, as long as s/he is working with the H1B employer. As mentioned above, the law is not crystal clear on what must happen, and we find that it has been quite broad in this respect, since there are no clear-cut limitations. It would be safer / clearer to have the EAD.

My Delhi Consulate Experience for my H-1B extention:
I am from Hyderabad but due to unavailability of appointments in Chennai consulate I applied through Delhi consulate. As a US Resident, I have an option of selecting any Consulate in India.
First they will check your DS 156 & DS 157 form when you are in queue to get in and also your application gets verified in a counter outside the main embassy and then you are let in, you can deposit your Cell Phones so don't leave your cell phones at home as we did, it was tough without a cell phone for half an hour after interview .
Once you get in into the embassy they do finger printing and then you are in queue to meet US Consular Agents.
While I was in queue, I saw lot of people getting rejected (mostly F1). They were asking unexpected questions to H1-B extension folks too. Questions like
1) Why did you change to this new employer?
2) How many employees does it currently have?
3) What does the company do?
4) How did you know about this company?
5) What was your masters in?
6) In my case they asked about names of the clients I was involved with through my IT services employer?
7) What are your job responsibilities?
They are trying to look at your body language and communication skills.
When I went to the counter he asked me about my previous company and current company, as mentioned above they asked me about how many clients I was involved with through my current employer. Then he said, he couldn't find my petitioner details online so he would check it and issue my visa if no further documents are required(I don't know what he meant by no further documents). I do not have my passport yet(12 Jan 09), I have submitted my docs on 9th Jan 09. I expect my visa to arrive sometime next week (hopefully). Regarding documents he did not look at any of my documents except for my passport and I-797.
I hope this helps. I am currently in India.

I485 along with EAD and AP applications filed during July 02 for me and my family. Got EAD and AP. Used Company�s attorney to file my applications. I live in Michigan and all documents send to TSC. My I-485 is pending with TSC.
Renewed EAD and AP last year, again used the same attorney. That time they filed EAD and AP applications at NSC as per http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-765instr.pdf page 11
I am still on H1B and never used EAD and AP.
I am planning to file EAD and AP renewal now (paper filing), but this time on my own. My questions are:
How can I ensure that all communications from USCIS will be sent to me and not to the attorney? How the earlier G-28 forms we submitted will cease?
Do I need to submit my EAD and AP renewal applications to NSC? In other forums somebody suggested that it need to be filed at the service center where my I485 is pending.
Recently I had been to SSN office to get SSN# for my son (8 years). They refused to give SSN and asked me to get EAD for my son. When I questioned how EAD can be applied for a minor, they responded saying that I can apply EAD for minor and based on that EAD, SSN (not permitted to work) will be given to my son. Anybody got EAD for minors?
Thanks in advance for your help.
