My second 140 may be approved by this month end.. Neb-Nov. 08-filing... i am hoping i will be able to port my PD..to 12-05
Now..in case i lose my job... and since i am in my 9th yr-h1..which expires may-2010..
suppose ..i cant find a job ...and if i have to leave US.....(but my employer agrees not to cancel my 140)
a.) what should i do to retain my GC process?
b.) How do i switch to CP processing....
Thanks in advance..
You need to file I 824 form and let USCSIS know that you want to transfer your case to consulate. If you are from Mumbai consulate area then u can do AC I 140. becasue I 824 can take 1-2 years to transfer your details.
While in AC I 140 you just need receipt of I 824 and attorney certified package. More details you can get on internet. If you PD is near to current then u can initiate this process and thus with in 3-4 months if PD become current you can get visa interview. Generally they dont ask for hard ship reason for AC I 140 but in your case you can explain about your wait time and impact on your career etc..
To do AC I 140 or normal CP process u need offer letter from employer.

The Department of Labor (DOL) issued new PERM FAQs (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1135851.html) on August 3, 2010. The issues addressed by DOL in this round of FAQs include expedite requests, how to document the use of an employee referral program, unsolicited documentation and what constitutes a "business day" for purposes of posting the Notice of Filing. Within the FAQs, DOL states the following:
* Expedite Requests - DOL clarifies that the Office of Foreign Labor Certification (OFLC), as a matter of long-standing policy, will not accept requests to expedite PERM applications;
* Employee Referral Programs (ERP) - DOL states that an employer can document its use of an ERP with incentives by providing dated copies of its notices or memoranda advertising the program and specifying the incentives offered. The employer must document the existence of the ERP, and that its employees were aware of the vacancy of the specific position for which certification is being sought. This can be achieved through posting on the employer's website. However, the physical Notice of Filing shall not be sufficient for this purpose;
* Unsolicited Documentation - DOL emphasizes that if unsolicited documentation is provided to the OFLC in support of a pending PERM application, then the application will automatically be placed in the audit queue;
* Business Day - As part of the required recruitment procedures to support a PERM application, a Notice of Filing must be physically posted for 10 consecutive business days. The OFLC clarifies that for purposes of the Notice of Filing, a business day will be defined as Monday through Friday, except for Federal holidays.
If you need support with your PERM case, feel free to email me. (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1111083.html)

As far as I know once you use 6 years of H1 you can only regain it is by leaving US for 1 full year and can re-enter on a new H1.

We dont have the physical copy yet. can we file 140 and 485 without it?
You need a copy of approved LC. However last time i remember they are fine with the "Confimation from the webpage also " Not 100% sure ..

It is possible to "interfile" in this situation, (See AFM Sec. 23.2(l) Transferring an Adjustment of Status Application from One Underlying Eligibility Basis to Another).
However, I do not think you can successfully interfile until your wife's 2010 PD is current. ( See AFM Sec. 23.2(l)(2)(L) The Priority Date must Be Current for the Basis to Which the Applicant Wishes to Convert).

Gurus,
I got my GC on the 30th of Nov. My current project ended on 31st Dec. My employer is not responding to my calls and emails asking him if I'll get paid on bench. He is not giving any clear answers and just dodging the direct questions.
I have a few very good offers in my hand as of now which I can take but those might put me in violation of some non-compete agreements that I signed. I also signed a 1 year 'bond' at the time of my I-485 filing in May.
I'm without work for the last 7 days and I won't know if he will pay me on bench before I get my paycheck end of january...
Some of the offers that I have can wait for a few more weeks...
What do you guys think I should do in this case..
Mainly worried about these aspects:
1. Non-compete agreements
2. Bond signed at the time of agreement
3. Leaving employer soon after getting my GC.
Please don't blast me for being a chicken even after getting my GC... I'm just trying to get the opinion of my fellow IVians...
Thanks

..and let the Champagne sit in the chiller.
Dude, this is ablip, for al lwe know. So many jobs have been lost, that there are not many more to lose. Companies aer already running on skeleton crews.
Its like some person wanting to lose weight, first loses all his body fat, then not satified with it starts starving himself and starts to lose muscle mass, after that is gone, the only choice is to start cutting body parts off, to lose more weight.....
These numbers have to improve consistently for a few months, even a year for any stable, long to meadium term gains...

Thank you for your replies...
My confusion is, as soon as I enter on AP I am on EAD and I don't have approved EAD. Does this mean I can not work untill I get EAD approved? I don't have Visa Stamped and I am not planning for Visa Stamping.
you can still continue on H1B (same employer) as long it is validity..even when you use AP at POE..

If you look closely at June 2008's VB, you'll find the following statement:
E. EMPLOYMENT THIRD PREFERENCE VISA AVAILABILITY
Demand for numbers, primarily by Citizenship and Immigration Services Offices for adjustment of status cases, is expected to bring the Employment Third preference category very close to the annual numerical limit in June. As a result, this category is likely to experience retrogressions or visa unavailability beginning in July. Such action would only be temporary, however, and a complete recovery of the cut-off dates would occur for October, the first month of the new fiscal year.
In other words, the PD for EB3 ROW will (or should) be back to March 1, 2006 in October??? So very close for you!

I will be happy to share the reason, if it was known to me.
But my company & their attorney are not sharing any details..
Left with no choice.. but to wait with hope..
Better to start new labor process if your are nearing 6th year on H1. these audits take forever and mostly have -ve results. and the employers/attorneys are not helpful either.
good luck

Hi all:
I entered the country on Advance Parole and so now I am on EAD status because of that.
I am on my 8th year of extension. My H1B was valid till 2009 but now it is not because of my EAD. Its been more than a year since I applied for 485 and My I-140 has been approved.
Q.1 Can I join another employer based on a new H1B so as to reinstate my H1B status? I plan to file for AC21 if I change employers.
Q.2 Can I apply for a new H1B with my CURRENT employer based on my current job?
I would really appreciate your input.
Thanks in advance.
Santosh
