10/23/2007: Senate Passed Legislation to Recapture 61,000 Unused Numbers for Allied Healthcare Workers
* In the legal immigration, the allied healthcare community has strongest lobbying groups in the nation. These groups were able to muscle passage of a legislative bill in the Senate yesterday recapturing 61,000 unused EB-3 foreign worker visa numbers for them. This bill was passed as part of the Labor-HHS 2008 appropriation bill. Reportedly, this bill faces two roadblocks ahead to make it into a final legislation. One is the White House that has been threatening to veto the Labor-HHS bill in toto because of the amount of spending. Second is the House that has to agree to the Senate version in the conference committee. However, the second roadblock does not seem to pose any serious threat as demonstrated by the move of some of Democrats in the House. Please stay tuned.

To best of my knowledge, a person on EAD (probably not the primary candidate) can work for anyone.. It can be City, State, Federal or McDonald's at any position, part time or full time, provided the job does not involve any government classified information. Jobs involving classified information are only for citizens that too after proper background check.
Primary candidate might work for the government i.e. if job requires skills that citizens don't have and that group has a policy of filing H1's..
I hope this helps.

Interfiling can be a success or a failure depending on how you/your lawyer treats the case.
I know someone who successfully got his interfiling done from a 2007 EB2 to 2004 EB3 date and has the GC already.
Now,
Even if your lawyer files the case perfectly there is a chance that the case lands with an IO that either doesnt "LIKE" interfiling or doesnt understand it. So then again the casse might take longer than usual.
But as far as I know , cases are done and I havent seen any case that was filed properly being rejected, nevertheless there are people who are still waiting for adjudication but not rejected.

It will be great if any IV Guru can shed some light.
I am currently on EAD working to company B after invoking AC21 for past 1 year. Thinking of starting GC processing with current company.
So I asked my old company A to give me a copy of my approved I-140. He sent me a courtesy copy. Since i read in forums that copy of the original not courtesy is required, I sent a mail to Lawyer CC'ing my old company and I got a reply from the lawyer that he did not pay the lawyer fee. OfCourse like any desi company my old company collected lawyer fee from me. I am sure he will not pay it and already he stuck me in EB3 after promising EB2. SO I am pondering on my options.
Does any one know if I can use the courtesy copy of I-140 to proceed with my new GC process?
I read from one other forum I can use FOIA(Freedom of Information Act) and get a copy of I-140, but it will take minimum of 8 months.

Hello all,
I had my 140 reinstated in Feb-09 after it was denied back in 08 (filed motion to reopen). Last week i inquired about the status of my case since my visa category is current (VB 02/2003), I received a letter yesterday informing me that the case is out of the processing date, my 140 priority date is 12/2002. is this a mistake or my priority date has change to feb-09?
Can you please share your case details? what was the reason for 140 denial? After you filed MTR, how long it took for them to reinstate?

You can take FP test at any location in United States. Just make sure that you go to the nearest location at the time mentioned in the notice. I had an appointment at the Oakland office but I went to the San Jose office and they let me do the FP test there. I had gone to them the previous day to confirm whether I can take FP test at their office and that's when they told me that I can go to any office in US.

Readers,
My I-797 expires on Dec 20th 2008
My 6 year term of H1b is between 2004 Oct till 2010 Sep
My previously filed PERM & I-140 are under the verge of rejection due to a pending RFE.
I am planning to file another PERM. Even though I'm trying to do it ASAP, I'm wondering whether I have an advantage on filing new PERM before Dec 20th 2007.
While applying for H1B extension in Dec 2008, If I have an approved labor/pending I-140 I thought I could request for 3 year extension. If I don't have labor/I-140 pending I can only request for 20 months extension (as my 6 year H1B term ends on Sep 2010)
I read from a site that...
"One in H1B/H-4 status can extend to the end of the 6-year limit, and then take advantage of the provisions allowing extensions beyond the 6-year limitation, if the labor certification or I-140 was filed at least a year earlier."
When I asked this question to my attorney he said
You can file for an H-l B visa extension up to 6 years. You can only file for an extension past the 6th year if your labor certification and/or I-l40 was pending for more the 365 days prior to the 6th year on your H-lB Visa status. If not and your labor certification is approved and the I-l40 is pending then you can only request an extension in one (l) year increments only until a final decision is made.
So does this mean I can only request for a 12 month extension if labor/I-140 is pending on Nov 2008?
Readers, Please provide me your guidance....
Thanks in advance

In page number 20, It says India is exempt from 6 month rule and you are required to have passport validity for only your intended period of stay. Any ideas?

Attorneys....
I have an approved I-140 and have applied for the I-485 in August 2007 and got my and my wife’s EAD and AP in October 2007, which we are periodically renewing. I am the primary applicant in the GC application.
The company which sponsored my GC is a small Information Technology firm.
I am currently working fulltime with another company using my EAD. I came to know that my previous company who sponsored my green card is not doing well.
My question is:
1) What happens to my Green Card application if my GC sponsored company shutsdown or file for bankruptcy?
2) Since I am working on EAD, what will be my status, if my GC sponsored company shuts down or file for bankruptcy?
3) What happens to my GC application?

HI ,
My brother graduated in Dec 08 and is on OPT now. He is with a consultant and he was wondering if there is any rule which states that folks on OPT should get a job in 3 months, otherwise the OPT will not be valid.
Can any one please clarify.
Thank you for your time
as far as i know that in the opt as long as you are employed its fine, even without pay employment works to keep the status active WITHOUT lapsing into the 90 day period. do tell him to cross check with his ISO

the Company is given guidelines by the lawyer and USCIS and they need to follow those guildeline. I am not interfering. I just want to know if what they did would satisfy the requirements of the PERM recrutiment process. Not sure why you gave me a red dot for this. The AD was posted by HR and I work for a very big university. All i wanted to know if it satisfy PERM requirments...

It is difficult to predict the timeline.
The house members are not happy with the Senate bill.
I have read that the conference committee may meet next monday ( all hearsay).
We can only pray and hope for the best.
