if you think you can file I-485 with 2 I-140s and USCIS would let you use PD from one and Category from other. THOUGH LEGAL BUT FORGET IT.
DO NOT DO THIS. I TRIED IT AND GOT SCREWED. USCIS DO NOT DO CROSS REFERENCE OF I-140 THOUGH THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO.
The category of I-140 from my previous employer is EB2 and the new PERM i will apply from my new employer will also be in EB2. Just wanted to know if application for I-140 and date porting can go together or i have to wait for new I-140 to get approved inorder to port priority date.
Thanks.

Compared to a 4-5 year wait with all the traps of AC21, EAD/AP renewals, etc.?
Yes offer premium procesing of 1-485. They can charge maybe 5000$ per person.

My friend is also with Ron, and he is highly satisfied. My lawyer before is a Desi woman in New York. I am upset with her most of the times. Final RFE reply for my wife's (I-485) is send by me and got approved within a week. (lawyer asked me big $$$)
I didn't know Ron when I started my labor process.
My recomendation to everyone to go to Ron Gotcher to avoid headaches.
Been with Ron Gotcher for over 5 years now. Never ever had a problem. The best thing is you can talk to him or his son anytime regarding any immigration issues. I had lots of H1 issues with my current employer and he was gracious enough to talk to my employer several times and help them out without charging me a penny. I would highly recommend him.

One benefit in staying with Nikon, at least for the time being, is that I don't have to compete with DavidP & Co. for those abundant "9, 9+, 10, R, D etc" rated used Nikon lenses on the market (B&H, Adorama ...). LOL.

Thanks chanduv23! I used the template he provided this morning (with some editing) to email senators from my state of residence.
Guys, please use this template to email senators from your state.
Also, please contribute to IV. I just did today, and believe me, you will feel better for doing so...
This is not just for you and me, but also for those who will come after us. Also, this is not a battle just to sue USCIS/DOS, but a war we need to fight on multiple fronts:
1) First and foremost, we the immigrant community need to join hands and fight as one cohesive group.
2) Sue the government agencies for damages/violation of law/precedents due to the revised visa bulletin
3) Get this matter the attention it deserves in the media
4) Try and get congress to intervene in this matter, and also introduce and pass legislation that will fix the broken employment based immigration system
5) Request corporate sponsorship. Since employers spent money on this fiasco as well, they will have a vested interest in pursuing this as well.
The main thing, however, is funds. IV needs funds to fight for us. Each of us has already spent 100's (many even 1000's) of $ trying to get ready to file our I-485's. So even if 10,000 members contribute just $100 each, it will be $1 mil. I am sure each of us can at least spare that much. It is a small price to pay for liberation from this GC mess for all of us....
With ~15,000 members already, and hopefully some serious $$$$$$ raised, IV will be a force to be reckoned with. No one will be able to treat us with such utter disdain ever again...

Not an amended H1. It is an H1B extension for 3 years after I140.
The question is if you have this approval in your hand (whose start date is after your current visa validity) and you return to the country within your visa validity, will the official have I-94 valid till the end of the new approval or till the date your current visa is valid?
According to "Last Action" Rule of USCIS, there is a possibility that your H1B extention approval becomes invalid because the POE gave validity till your visa end.
Seems all so screwed up. But red-tape rules are never white and black.
http://www.murthy.com/news/UDnjsem.html
There is mention of Last Action Rule.
There are 2 approaches for this .
1. If you have a valid Visa(plan to get Valid Visa) for U.S . you can go abroad and then come back with I-94. -- This is Risky since it Border Patrol
which comes into picture and may or may not be positive.
2. You can file for amended H1.(It is still called amended H1. Amendment is to the I-94 dates). This is processed by INS . You still need to keep your fingers crossed but INS has been postive in almost all cases.

I think we need to clarify that Reid and Pelosi are independent and not related in terms of setting up a debate. Pelosi is in the Lower Chamber - House of Representatives, Reid is in the upper chamber - the Senate. They do not have influnce over each other in terms of scheduling and the rules, etc. Pelosi is the speaker of the House, Reid is the Majority leader in the Senate (there is no speaker in the Senate). In the Senate Reid is the one who calls the shots in terms of scheduling, but it has to be on a bill proposed in the Senate (not the one propsed in the house), although the texts could be identical it is still a separate bill with a separate number. Based on the rules such bill may have to go through a comitee first (Judiciary perhaps). As for the House I believe Pelosi has lot of say when it comes to the agenda. However if it has to be the majorty leader of the "House", than it would be Stonie Hoyer.

I was exactly in the similar situation. My wife entered on H4, started work on EAD. Now we are traveling to India, both have AP as well as H visa (H1 for myself, H4 for wife). I talked to our corporate lawyers pretty much the exact same questions you are asking. Here is the response (that I have in writing from the lawyers):
1. H4 status is invalidated the first day you report for work on EAD. While you are working, your status is AOS in the US. There is no consequence of this change (ie you do not have to report anything to the USCIS).
2. When you reenter the US, you can use H4 for reentry. (Yes, even if you are still employed the employer with an EAD and went to India only for "vacation"). This is because at the point of entry, the definition for "working on EAD" is actually reporting to work. As long as the H1 is valid, you can enter on H4. Your status at the point of entry is H4 admission. However, if you report to work the next day, your H4 status again is invalidated and you are back on AOS.
This is a pretty confusing scenario for many and multiple lawyers that I consulted have agreed with the above legal advise.
So, even though we have AP, we would be using our H visas to enter.
Send me a PM if you have further questions.

There is no such thing as a cooperative employer in this economy. I will give you an example....
While I do agree with some points on how difficult it might be given the economic environment, we do not know OPs employer or OP himself to make a broad generalization. For all that we know, OP might have 10+ years of domain specific knowledge that might make him really valuable to his employer or he might be working for a desi consultant who is happily taking 60% of his biling rate making him very lucrative to his employer. That's why I used the word "cooperative" to refer to the type of employer.
While no doubt, getting PERM approved is difficult at this time, it's not impossible (I have a few close friends who got them approved recently in EB2 though they had to wait a long time for it) and giving it a shot is well worth it if things work out in OPs favor.
PS: And God knows why I got reds for my previous post. Funny!

No offense taken. I would be bemused too, if I didn't understand the process.
I don't think many people understand that visa allocations for documentarily-qualified applications are actually made at the time a bulletin is released.
And even otherwise, if they worked on July 1st, my PD WAS CURRENT on July 1st, and a visa may have been allotted on July 1st.

I think, last week, two threads were locked due to very hot discussion on this issue. This discussion will create more heat again.
i guess my post was mis-interpreted so i have modified it to clarify it. what i meant was if IV considers it is not asking for too much - they feel it will not jeopardise "ability to file 485" provision then having AC21 advantage without waiting for six months would be like "sone pe suhaga"

Our FP were sent back to USCIS the same day - 10/1/07.
What does this mean. The lady didnt have any information on name check. Seems like there is no way of knowing anything about name check!:mad:
Yeah sadly, there is no way to know. Even I am desperate to find out how one can know if they have cleared name check. I happened to know this from my friend - Get an infopass appointment and maybe an immigration officer might be willing to help you. I don't know how far this is possible since I HAVE NOT TRIED IT. But could be one of the options. More discussions from other experts might help.

I currently have the Canon Powershot S50 which i'm selling.
Looking into the minolta Dimage A2 and the Olympus C5060.
Looking to spend about 1300.
I mainly take indoor shots . and looking to print pics as big as 11 x 17
Got the epson 1270 printer .
any suggestion would be appreciated..
thanks janey
Your choice of a D70 will give you great joy in your indoor photography for the next two years especially with the 18mm-70mm kit lens. You can tune the camera perfectly to give you the image you want. Moreover it is one of the fastest camera at this time for the price you are paying.
The 50mm f/1.8, 24mm f/2, 28mm f/2 or the 35mm f/1.4 lens will add to your advantage for great indoor pictures without flash.
As for people who want a SLR-like, the Minolta A2 has better features than the Olympus C-8080 in terms of zoom coverage, number of frames per second, long exposure and weight of the camera.
A2 has a 28-200mm zoom range as compared to 28-140 of the C-8080. You can go at 2.7 fps x 3 images @ fine mode, but the C-8080 can only cope with 1.6 fps x 5 images.
A2 has a maximum of 30 sec for long exposure while Olympus has only 15 seconds. The only advantage of the C-8080 is its marco focusing distance which is 5cm. The A2 can only go up to 13cm.
For those who want a lighter weight SLR-like camera and do not need the speed of the D70, the Minolta A2 can be a better choice. However both cameras have fast speed lenses with the maximum at f/2.8 only.
With the D70, you can even have the 85mm or the 50mm f/1.4 lenses for indoor photography using ISO 1600. Surprisingly the D70 has extremely low noise level even at ISO 1600, something that you cannot find in the other two SLRs.

Could you please explain this a bit. I am not sure if I am understanding this right.
.
My attorney prepared the EVL for my employer to sign. I have handed that over to my boss who has sent it to HR for review. This letter has lot of legal lingo and information related to my LCA and I-140 e.g.,
"We acknowledge that, according to the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. �1154 and 8 U.S.C. �1182(a)(5)(A)), ............"
"We acknowledge that <my name>'s immigration petition filed on <I-140 filing date> listed his job title as <my LCA job title> and <my name>'s current position is in same or similar profession...."
So my concern is why would any employer sign this letter without knowing anything about my LCA, I-140 etc (I had changed job about 240 days after 485 filing). So my current employer may have issues signing this letter.
But my attorney insists that this letter (in same format) needs to be signed in order to respond to the RFE. My thinking is that all this lingo and stuff related to LCA can be eliminated from the letter so that my employer is more comfortable signing it.
