Thank you very much for all the advices. I wonder if I do need to take vacation around the early of year 2008 and come back approximately October, 08 due to my H1B expiration in April, 08. I wonder if I still need to be employed full time with my current employer during the whole period that I�ll not be in US. Do I need to get pay during that period? Would part time be enough in order to keep the green card process going? Also, do I need to file any applications with USCIS prior to taking vacation in order to let USCIS know that I�ll be taking vacation and I can use that vacation time outside US to extend my H1B until around October, 08. If I have to file, when should be the best time to file it and what form should I use? I plan to leave around the early of February, 08. Accordingly, I can come back around October, 08 and file the I-797 form for H1B extension if my I-140 is approved by then. Please advise and thank you very much.

Thanks to all for your support. :)The first step I would like to propose is that we need to establish a group called Team IV Coordinators. Those who are interested in being part of this group, please send me a private message with your e-mail address so that I can set up a group e-mail to present and discuss the ideas to get us started. The Coordinator Group should be Team IV members whether you run/walk or not. I will take the lead but of course, I would love to have a core group to bounce ideas off of and to have as a resource pool.
I agree with picking 3 national events as previously suggested, one on east coast, one west coast and one centrally located.
Please send me Private Messages with your e-mail or contact info so that we can get the Coordinator Group up and running to set out the parameters of Team IV.
Thanks!! :)

My Friend your thoughts are very good.
The AC21 Letter that one sends after changing a job is not a gaurantee that it is attached to your file(I-485). how do you expect to explain all that you are saying to CIS when they can't do there own work properly.
I agree this is not easy, but in past IV CORE was successful when they convinced CIS to come out with revised visa bulletin in July 2007. Other successes include 2 year EAD and 29 months OPT etc. If we all support, this may also be possible. Atleast having an official procedure and forms for AC21 will be really good.

My and my employer talked to National Customer Service Center and they dont provide any information other than opening service requests. My employer asked her to connect him to an IO and she said she doesnt have authorization to do so. what the heck? Is there anyway to talk to an IO rather than the customer service rep. Please let me know if anyone has done that before and how they were able to get to them.

10/31/2008: PERM Filing Alert for IT Occupations and Certain Professional Occupations
When the permanent labor certification system used DOT system, there were a number of IT occupations that fell under SVP 8. When the DOL changed the permanent labor certification system, it abandoned DOT system which focused on SVP concept. Since then OFLC has been using O*Net Job Zone concept and applied Job Zone 4 as equivalent to SVP 7 that can require from two years to maximum four years of preparation time (education, training, and experience). The Job Zone 5 is practically equivalent to SVP 8 that can require from four years to 10 years of preparation time (education, training, and experience). During the DOT era which ended on March 27, 2005, some IT occupations fell under SVP 7 and some IT occupations fell under SVP 8. Accordingly, EB-2 labor certifications for IT occupations were filed and approved when the occupations fell under SVP 8. Software Engineer, DBA, Science/Engineering Application Programmer, etc. illustrate these IT occupations.
When the O*Net Job Zones replaced the DOT, the system downgraded all the IT occupations into Job Zone 4 except Computer Information and System Manager occupation (IT Manager) which remained at Job Zone 5. Since all the IT occupations other than IT manager belonged to the Job Zone 4, had the DOL strictly adhered to Job Zone system as they interpreted, any applications for IT occupations that required more than a bachelor's degree plus two years of experience should have faced a business necessity challenge and denials in most of such applications. However, from March 28, 2005 until June 2007, the DOL de facto adhered to their previous practice under the DOT system and most of the EB-2 IT occupations such as Software Engineer, DBA, etc., which belonged to SVP 8 under DOT system, have been approved without much challenge.
The landscape changed beginning from July 2007 when they started focusing on the integrity of labor certification system. The agency started challenging such EB-2 requirement even for the SVP 8 IT occupations under DOT if it belonged to the Job Zone 4. The challenge took a form of "audit." Such EB-2 requirements have faced a massive challenge and audits. However, the former SVP 8 IT cases have been approved after the audits in a large number of cases. This practice is expected to change once the new form ETA 9089 PERM application program is launched next year since the new form will automatically consider such EB-2 requirement for IT occupations as the business necessity cases for exceeding the Job Zone 4 requirement. Initinally, DOL was scheduled to launch the new ETA 9089 form beginning from January 1, 2009, but luckily they pushed off the starting date to late Spring of 2009. That was a good news.
Bad news is a further change in O*Net Job Zone for IT manager occupations. They just changed the O*Net data into version 13.0 which down graded IT manager job zone from 5 to 4! The last vestige of Job Zone 5 in IT occupations has been cruelly crushed to death. Since EB-2 occupation must require either a master's degree or Bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience, now all the IT occupations exceed the Job Zone 4 allowed preparation time. We will have to wait and see how this change in Job Zone for IT manager occupation will be managed in actual adjudication of PERM applications hereon, but it is certainly not a positive news.
The recent downgrading of professional occupations from Job Zone 5 to Job 4 does not end with the IT occupations. There are a number of professional occupations that have been downgraded practically to nonprofessional occupations in some cases. Company General Manager is downgraded to Job Zone 3!! Employers who start PERM recruitment should review the attached Job Zone changes and seek legal advice. Believe me, there are a lot of surprises.

I believe Lou was referring to conversing on the internet. It definitely isn't a turn on to an employer if you are a 1337 h4><()r. You have to be able to get your words across. That is not to say that you can't use a bit of slang.

Update:
The Doctor admitted his mistake.
He completely forgot to mark the TB test earlier.
He was ready to back date to avoid more inconveniance to me.
But I told him to be sincere in all aspects.
I basically forced him to give my wife a TB test again and also the x-ray.
Now the plan is to submit all this information with a nice letter which states that the doctor had forgotten things last time etc etc.
Hopefully they will mark the case as - resume processing.
I also had some issues with my medical exam. Lesson learned is to have civil surgeon verify and double verify
the information entered in the exam.
Best luck to you.

C09 means you're are applying for EAD based on pending I-485 application.
Regarding Section and PD, I am not sure of the impact of that. Let's wait for others who have knowledge about that to answer. What I believe is that these two fields are not that important in EAD processing. EAD is processed according to EAD Receipt Date, not PD.

My laptop survived with a freeware anti virus. Please don't give me any reds, this is what happened to me, I just wanted to warn any unprotected members of IV.

Help!!
Is any company filing new PERM applications in this economy? I was told that my current company (a really big one at that) is holding off PERMs indefinitely because we had some layoffs- indefinitely!
My H1 runs out in Oct 2010, and I heard that I have only till end of Nov 2009 (including what I found out is called recapture time) to file.
Now, I found out that my company have do newspaper/online ads for positions to demonstate that they tested the labor market etc etc (all stuff that I heard from the attorney), and I got the impression that she has no idea when they are going to do this and start filing again, and I got something like a best of luck look from her. I am freaked out now.
Any of you out there know if any companies are still filing PERMs? I am on a EB-2 in Software.
Also, if I join a new company, can I file a PERM immediately? Or is it just best of luck to me?
Looks like I have to look into a Canada visa / Australian or UK visa or better go back and spend sometime in India. Any thoughts from any of you more enterprising folks out there? I have little knowledge of the process (my fault!) but I am stressed and freaked now.
You probably need to find another employer. Big companies will pull back the perm when they start layoffs. I had this experience during the dotcom crash. It took my company 3 years before they started doing the GC again.
Relax and don't get stressed.

hi Pdnov2005,
i was talking bout pdfs in the begining of this thread that talked bout some congressional documents requesting higher H1 quotas for fiscal yr 2008 and 2009
:) infact if quota is increased and duplicates eliminated, it ensures complete usage of the new quota (if any )

keep records of all the facts. create a file to gather all the facts to demonstrate that the job was eliminated due to the downturn of the business. you need to have good faith intentions to join the sponsoring employer. if you have those and then still couldnt work for that employer due to the things beyond your control, then there is nothing anybody can do about it. so enjoy your days and dont worry about the future. just be prepared with necessary documentation that you need to do for the citizenship...
check with a good lawyer as i am not one. this is a personal opinion.
Hi everyone, I have been approved on 9/6/7.
only 92 days after AOS filing.
My sponsor, I did work with them from 2002-2007. They agree to file i-485 in the hopes economy would get better. However house builders are doing very bad now and they cannot take me back after approval.
The question is, does this spoiled my chances for citizenship?

You guys really have to give a deep thought before you suggest names that contain the word slave....
The argument goes like this : America is a great country. We do not want slavery. Slave labor would undercut citizen salaries. Slave labor should be abolished..Hey..These people call themselves slaves...Let's abolish H1B program...H1b must be abolished...
Now see where the argument ended up...Think completely what you are getting into...
I am all for abonding H1B, when did IV promoted H1B program, we have this mess today due to H1B and itz loopholes,
I don't use word slave very lightly, but we need to accept the fact many of H1Bs are handcuffed with current system, We need system similar to Austrialia, Canada a point based system or very similar to Nurses in US they get GC before even coming to US.
H1Bs are truly pulling the wages down, I know I did when I came here I have no argument with anti-immigrants with this subject, but giving GCs to these H1Bs will have fair chance to compete in Market
Corporate leaders such Bill Gates and Senators such as Kennady do know this issue and have deep understanding but they don't give a rat about it,

This is completely wrong. Once you are in EAD and got laid off...you lose your status. There is one more thread in this forum where one guy applied for unemployed benefit in EAD, in a weeks times the ICE was coming to his home and severed the notice to appear in the court. That guy started the thread and every one bashing him for applying the unemployment benefit. But he later came to know that his employer notified the USCIS that he got laid off during EAD. So he lost his status and they wanted to deport him. I am not sure about the outcome. He is here in only in the IV. That thread was created in the last 2-3 months time. So search for it.
There is definitely some legal implication otherwise why your employer wants to inform USCIS. They wanted to be in the safer side. So if anything happens you are the one going to face the music. So check with some good attorney.
For all those retards giving red dots....all I am saying is there is one more thread in forum check for it....
