You have to stick to Software Engineer field in order to take advantage of PD recapture. If you move to Business Development using MBA than its hard to justify same or similar. Find a new job which requires EB2 and show BS+5 to qualify.
Hope that helps!
good point. Having moved to bizdev when your LC is filed for software engineer is dicey... An RFE for employmeny-verification-letter could potentially raise questions..
OTOH PD recapture does NOT require you to be in the same/similar job.You can file a new LC for the bizdev position, and when filing I-140 request older PD is ported over. Then 'interfile' this new I-140 into the old one on your existing I-485.

Ombudsman:
Exactly what are you doing here? You raise irrelevant points, just to stall the discussion so that no progress is made. (You were doing the same thing when genscn raised some stupid questions on another thread about the SKIL bill.)
I think you want to prevent all kinds of immigration, and my suspicion is that you are not an immigrant at all.
Keep out.

Are you now on the 'undocumented immigration' thing ? Undocumented is someone who had documents, but lost them. Called them using the correct designation; illegal aliens.

Thanks for Good news. It seems like our phone calls and other efforts may have made this possible. We all know, it is far from over. But at least this good news gives us some hope that there is a chance that this bill can be passed this year.

Finally I gave a thought to all this GC business and I am planning to start my Canadian PR too, here are my questions :
1. Does anybody know of any good immigration cunsulting company for Canadian PR processing ?
2. How much would be the total cost to get it done throught the consulting services ?
3. Are there any hidden costs which these companies tell you at the end and try to rip you ?
Thanks

Gurus,
Here is my situation:
I-140 approved - PD: May '06
I-485 filed - July 30 '07 (India)
EAD cards - Received
APs - Received
Due to a slowdown in their business, my employer is laying me off in Dec '07. I'm still short of 1 month to complete my 180 days of I-485 filling. However, they said they will not withdraw my I-140 and, to help me, will in fact keep me on their payroll until Jan '08, with my Jan '08 salary as my severance and my official status as on "paid leave". So far, so good.
I also have a job offer, and my new employer wants me to join them in Dec '07, on EAD. My question is: Can I be officially on the payroll of two companies simultaneously on H-1B and/or EAD? If yes, do I need to inform the USCIS of my status (new employer; AC21)? My other option is to say No to the new (attractive) job offer (or to try to convince them to wait until Feb '08, which they'll likely not agree to), and and take up another job in Feb '08, on EAD / H-1B transfer, using AC21. Please advise whether I'm fine with using the first option!!
I don't think there is any rule stating that you cannot join a new employer before finishing 180 days of AOS pending. I joined my new employer as soon as I filed my I-485. Although, I transfered my H1B also (did not use EAD).
If your previous employer has assured you that they will not revoke your I-140, then I think you can freely go ahead with your new job by transferring your H1B. Although, USCIS will not give you a 3 year H1B extension because you have already filed AOS.
I am in exactly the same situation as you are, in fact I have already jumped into this new boat quite some time ago.

USCIS officially released the information that total I-485 applications which were related to July VB fiasco before August 16, 2007 were 320,000. During the period, the USCIS received 400,000 anxillary applications (EAD and AP), and substantial number of concurrent I-140 petitions. All of these figures added upto 800,000. For the USCIS verification of this information, please Q&A between the USCIS and AILA as part of the Community Relations meeting on September 25, 2007. This has been made available today.

Good to see "good news." It will take many many years for our dates to become current if there is no change in the law. So yes, it appears like some positive news, but without law being changed we are screwed anyway.

Hi,
The plight of legal immigants has been lost in all the noise and focus on illegal immigration. There are about 500K legal high-skilled immigrants from around the world who are presently working in the US legally on a temporary work visa issued by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services and in the queue for a permanent resident card also known as Green Card (GC).
There are only 140K GCs given per year for all employment based categories and the employer who sponsors the immigrant has to prove that the job cannot be filled by an American Citizen through a lbour market test. The 140K number is also used to count the spouse and children of the high skilled immigrant. So in essence there are only about 60K high skilled immigrants given a GC each year. Also there is a per country limit of 7%, so only about 5000 GCs are given to high-skilled geal immigrants from each country. This has lead to a huge backlog in GCs especially from countries which send may high-skilled immigrants like China and India. To make matters worse the Congress authorized about 250K illegal aliens a one time waiver to adjust status in the year 2000 and those numbers come out of the regular 140K per year granted to legal high-skilled immigrants.
All this has resulted in a expected wait of "8-12 years" for getting a GC for a "Play-By The Rules" legal high-skilled immigrant. Add another % years after that to get US Citizenship. Seeing these kind of numbers many talented young engineers , scientists and doctors are moving to other countries in droves. No one would like a wait for 15 years to become a naturalized citizen. America is losing a lot due to this Retrogression (Backlog) in GCs, especially when there is a global competition for Talent. The only ones who have patience to stick on is those who have already been in the waiting game for
years and have a lot at stake to leave it at this stage. And for those that chose to wait in this manner life is hell. For 7-10 years they cannot change jobs, cannot get promoted or even change job roles within the same company, cannot get transferred to a different location in same company. Any of these events will mean starting in line all over again. Also their spouses cannot work and they cannot buy homes or make other investment decisions due to the uncertainity, many who have kids in college have to pay higher tution.
I am one of these stuck in this GC hell for the last 9 years, I came to the United States as a student in 1995 to pursue graduate studies in Engineering in a top-ranked university. I have been employed legally in the US since I graduated in 1997 and been pursuing the GC dream for the last 9 years. The end is not in sight and if Congress does not pass any relief I expect the wait to last at least another 5 years.
What does it take for congress to pass some relief? Just some simple relief measures
1. Increase the numbers of GCs to 250K per year temporarily for 2-3 years to alleviate the current problem.
2. Allow to recover unused GC numbers from previous 5 years to be used to alleviate the current retrogression.
3. Do not count spouse and dependents towards the annual number
4. Do not count against the annual cap count certain high-skilled immigrants who have a advanced degree from the US and have worked in a high-skilled job legally in the United states for 3 years .

He was not name calling. It takes a while to pick up the slang but it sure helps you to assimilate better.
And, if you were already familiar, before you go on a tirade on me, please hold your horses..
according to you, it means he is really disappointing or annoying to just read one bill and conclude everything....

First of all let me congratulate and thank IV for working tirelessly to bring about this huge benefit for most folks stuck in the green card mess. I have always believed in IV and its power to move mountains. However, in the midst of all this rejoicing, let's not forget a certain class of IV members who will not be able to take advantage of this recent benefit for all practical purposes. I am talking about the folks who are currently single and will not be able to file for their (future) spouse before Aug 17. It seems to me that the best thing that IV can do to bring relief to these folks is to lobby for and effect legislation to exclude dependents from the visa cap, i.e let dependents (or at least spouse) to file for I-485 even when priority dates are not current. I believe this single piece of legislation (if we can make that happen) will have a big effect on the entire community, because that will free up that many visa numbers that would otherwise have been used up, and let folks get their GCs faster (even if they are happy with their EADs and APs). Can IV focus on this front please ?
Congratulations btw to everyone who will be taking advantage of this window of opportunity.
Alternatively, IV can find you a spouse to get married ASAP. Just kidding.

tabletpc,
Look at tv25's post. He/She alreday used the H1B...tv25 mentioned that she/he worked on H1B for three months. That would have invalidated her h4 visa.
You are right. THis is one case where in USCICS are wrong. The visa officer at consualte should have canceld her H4, which he/she din't do and tv25 took advantage of it. Even at the POE, officer should should have got the info on his system. No idea why it din't happen.
But tv25, stop using this forum to get the solution and contact an attorney, like murthy ASAP.

Can you let us know know why you cudn't get it corrected at the CBP? Its clearly a mistake by the POE officer. Try other CBPs till you succeed. thats the best option you have. I've done it myself. First time, when I called them to get an appointment they said it can't be done. I called them again and got an appointment without any problem (obviously it was somebody else who attended the phone). Went in person and explained it clearly and the officer accepted the mistake and apologized on behalf of the POE Officer. He gave me a new I-94 and struck out the new number and wrote the old I94# on it. He also updated it in the system.
So, please give it a try before trying out other options. HTH!
What will be my status after i file my I485?
My current I-94 will expire on 16th Sep 2007 (on the day my current visa stamp in my passport expires and my current H1 B is set to expire Mid April 2008).
I am planning to make a trip to Cannda or someplace to get a new I-94 as soon as i get my new passport (i had sent it for renewal on june 2nd). But i am a little worried about my status if i am unable to make the trip.
So my question is what will be my status after 16th sep 2007 (once i file for I485 (first week of July2007) and my I-94 expires on 16th Sep 2007)?
Appreciate any responses ...
