These are the reasons
(1) Employers will have ability to pay issues or just do not want to carry paperwork after you leave - cancelling 140 is beneficial for them - they win the goodwill of USCIS
(2) For USCIS - handling AC21 paperwork means assigning an IO and time and resources - without any fee associated - it is easier to send denial and get money through MTR so that the IO can be working on your case as "billable work" and not "free work"
(3) The intent of long duration standards set by USCIS is nto make immigration difficult and not easy, so when one changes job using AC21 - with no process in place - it is easy to mess up things rather than fixing them.
(4) In reality - in a perfect world - there is no need for AC21 regulations - this is just a provision for cases where there are long delays - so I doubt if this process will be officially handled through forms and fees and procedures - USCIS handles this only through memos and IOs have their own way.
Please participate in the AC21 campaign and lets make it a success. We have to stop seeing denials and start seeing atleast RFE or NOID

Looks like you got angry.Everybody knows H1 requirements as much as you do.Do you think are the only one who is smart in this world.I don't think so.
Thanks for sharing your "2 cents" opinion. I understand this is coming from a person who used the term slave for his H-1 job condition.
You haven't answer me the question"What if your H1 is denied once you started working with out its approval" which I replied in your first post.
If H-1B is denied, then you are out of luck. For that reason, I have mentioned that file H-1B premium, and join the new job after H-1B approval and you will have "peace of mind" in that case.
Also you have replied me that H1B is not for speculative job.If it is true then what is the need of H1 Change of employer.Can you inform USCIS to remove this option.
Read for yourself and get en-lighted.

[From the pdf link]
...to ensure that alien beneficiaries accorded H status have an actual job offer and are not coming to the United States for speculative employment.
When your H1 got approved first time the same USCIS verified your Educational certificates.Why they want to do the same verification again and again?
It is more than just educational qualification. The job has to be specialty occupation and employer has to define job duties in detail. Each H-1B petition is treated independently.
I advice you to read [dot com] articles which sometimes point out that USCIS document were not clear
Lawyers are entitled to opinion as well, just like anybody else. After all they are running business. FYI, I am not on visa anymore.

Dear Sir,
I have 12 years of experience in IT industry and I have my I 140 approved in EB3 category.
Since I have only 3 years degree from India, I can't file the GC in EB2 category. So I have decided to do postgraduate diploma in IT management from Universitas 21 (http://www.universitas21.com/about.html). I found they are quality education provider but not aacsb accredited. So in that case after completing diploma in postgraduate can I upgrade my GC to EB2 category?
At present I am not worried about the position required for EB 2 filing because I am an architect and can easily switch to different company and get decent salary. But what I realized only job and salary won't help until I have proper education.
So it is my request to appropriately guide me aboud the eudcation perspective whether I am on right path or not. Also is diploma is sufficient or I need to masters too?
For your reference I have attached sample certificate coming out from U21 for the diploma in IT management.

I have been at many occasions when the national anthem was sung. At each occasion, as soon as the song was sung, everybody in the crowd sang together out loud. So I expected the crowd in this rally to sing as well. But it was all silence. I felt really embarrassed.
Unfortunately no one knew the lyrics - this is an eye opener to all - one must lknow at the least star spangled banner if he/she wants a GC and finally become a citizen

Today, I filed an official complaint with IRS about this employer. They told, they are going to send a notice asking the employer to reply to the tax bearer within 10 days from the receipt of the letter. I don't know how the employer is going to react and if they would still provide a corrected W2. Hoping, they would provide, otherwise I would have to call IRS again after another 2 weeks time. I had to be on the phone line for almost 30 mins to reach the IRS customer representative. It is a real pain.
Employer will send the W-2. They will in big trouble if they don't. Also, there could be possible more scrutiny/audits of their accounts.

There were only about 3 or 4 that had more than 1 vote. Having a poll of 4 entries seemed odd, so the only fair thing would have been to give every entry you all voted for a spot in the poll.
No overriding was done :P

Could you please update your profile with the dates so that it helps others.
Since you wrote Dec 01 as your date and you are still pending, we can use such number of people info for advocacy purposes to show that despite the date advances/current for some people, they still do not have the approval. We have created IV tracker and this profile info fields for such purposes and thus urge everyone to keep their profiles updated. If you find someone with incomplete or fake profile, please politely urge them to update it or just ask them to write N/A so that we can help each other in fixing the immigration problem.

I agree with Bob here, as I've shot with both Nikon D1's and F5's from back in the day, to the latest stuff. I've done the same with Canon through the 90's and the current crop.
I feel like Canon has the upper hand on Nikon currently in both bodies and lenses.
Bob did label his opinion, most likely without thinking about it -- with the IMHO, to avoid attacks as such. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and none of us can 100% say that Canon lenses are better than Nikons.. No one here does bench tests, price comparisions, etc.. It's just field use and preference that determines this.
Back into your corner's fighters! Let's argue about sports or hot women before we waste our time on the merits of macro lenses!
Back to the topic at hand.. I think the Nikon is probably her best bet because of the build quality and apparently the kit lens is pretty damn good. You can pick up the D70 w/o the kit lens for $999 MSRP, which is only $100 over MSRP the 300D. So maybe the first question is, decide if either kit lens is fine for you. Then determine the build quality, and lastly determine which lens system you might want to grow into.
I don't think you can make a bad decision either brand you go with. We can all be happy with that. Competition is good.

SLowhand, You are absolutely right. We can understand if USCIS does not send anything to employee for I-140, but for I-485, which really is an application from the employee, it is really not legal for the attorneys to dance on employers' tunes and provide our paperwork to them and then blackmailing us together.
How can we take it up with USCIS through IV?
You yourself willingly knowingly signed G28 form and gave all the power to your attorney. USCIS is not suppose to be sending you anything. And IV has nothing to do with it.
You have to realize, that your attorney/employer have to be willing to support your GC honestly, since you might need them in case of RFEs, etc. If they are playing games, then invoke AC21 and leave them.
You can sign G28 with another attorney, and your new attorney will request your case from your previous attorney. Your previous attorney will have to be REQUIRED to send ALL your papers (including that RN).
You can apply for EAD with just having receipt number, you can find out it by just calling USCIS. So I don't see any reason to freak out.

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?

My wife changed her job after getting H1B transfer receipt. Her previous H1B is not expired or revoked. After one month with new employer, her H1B is denied. We didn't appeal, but immediately filed new H1B with another employer and give paystub of the denied employer with all details. She got her H1B approved with the latest employer. This happened 4 years back.
So, if H1B denied, you can file appeal or find a new job and file new petition ASAP.
Thank you for your information.I hope you know the situation right now in USA.In jan 2010 H1 people came to Newark Airport were asked to form in a separate queue as soon as they get down from the flight for two levels of interview.Some of them are sent back.Now you can't find employer to transfer your H1 immediately.Before two years it was possible to transfer H1 with out having recent pay stubs and they never asked client letter.Now if you don't have a job you can't transfer your H1 to anybody.
Before Sep 2009 it was two minutes time to take LCA. Now it takes 1 week time to approve LCA. We never heard about Employer-Employee relationship before 2010.

I have 4 years degree with Masters. However, if you made through EB3 you should be able to get through EB2. Nevertheless, it is worth a try as gains are large. I understand there is a risk (no risk no gain).
I have just started the process and my labor is in process. I am filing with my current employer who filed my EB3 case. Green card is for future job so they are taking me for higher position say manger. My lawyer is making sure there is some kind of sync up with Eb3 labor and H1B application. They should be supporting the present labor application.
Your employer need to be supportive and should be willing to work with you that help a lot. They have added some managerial stuff and kind of technical lead. I have not used my experience with present employer.
To best of my knowledge, there is no impact to eb3 case.
Hope this help.
I don't think there's any relationship H1-application. H1's for current employment where as PERM labor is for future employment. Future meaning, after your 485 has been approved. One doesn't even need to be on H1 to proceed for Eb3 to Eb2 conversion.

Awesome, ur IV family appreciate you. Folks like you are inspiration to all of us.
I was the guy from Sweden. I agree with the Russian student.
The reason I was there was because my green card process was a painful and stressful experience for 5 years. And I was still one of the lucky ones! I don't want to put anyone through the same agony, not even my worst enemy. I really feel for the people still stuck in the mess.
I talked to a Polish guy who had been here 9 years fully legally and could not leave. He had not seen his family in 9 years and did not want to risk going back just in case they would not approve his H1B in his home country. They are very strict there it seems, because none of his family members or friends could not even get a tourist nor visit visa to see his graduation. Shocking!
I was glad I showed up at the rally just to hear all the peoples' stories.
Most people who did not show up probably think they are ok after applying the i485. They will join IV rallies, when they realize how wrong they are. People have applied for i485s years ago and still don't have a green card...
You are in trouble until you get your green card in your hand.
