Actions speak louder than words... Lou Dobbs says Microsoft has waged war against the American middleclass by taking the company to Canada. But that hasn't stopped the company from starting a development center in Canada, nor has the company cared to answer Lou Dobbs in a press release or anything. What I am saying is, we should not care about what Lou Dobbs thinks or says on his show. As long as we being here helps grow the American economy, nobody cares about what Lou Dobbs thinks!!!

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 are undergoing what a lot of H1Bs go through.
They do not care about greencard on H1B thinking that it will come whenver the company applies until it is too late. They enjoy the first 3 years of H1B enjoying America and dollars and do not bother about IV or advocacy or contributing money to IV. I have seen such people even telling others it is a waste of time and making fun of IV. After 3 years they renew H1B thinking that they still have 3 more years. But once 6 years are about to expire they worry that they will have to leave US of A and the land of opportunities. It is at that time they try to start greencard process and check out IV. These same people then start contributing to IV and take this effort seriously.
You still have time of 1 year and 9 months and that is good enough to get your labor through. Good luck and hope you find help from people here.

meridiani.planum, thanks for giving me red. I dont think EB2- India will go back to 2002/2003 for the October 2008 visa bulletin. Even if it goes back to that old dates it comes back to 2006/2007 very quickly.
I will give you a green too. You have been a great help to forum members understand retrogression issues.

Initially my case status was like whatever you said..but I got the FP and done. Now the case status says bit more like
On September 18, 2007, a fingerprint fee biling notice for this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was mailed to you stating the reasons for the billing and the instructions to follow to submit the necessary payment. Therefore, processing of your case is suspended until we receive the necessary payment along with the billing notice we mailed to you. If you have not received this notice within 30 days of the September 18, 2007, please call Customer Service at 1-800-375-5283 for further assistance.
Does anyone know in the same boat?
My wife also in the same boat. Her FP is done and now the status is showing sameway like you.I have informed the same to my lawyer and awaiting response from them.

I guess you are bummer !!!!
Bummer is a word used to express disappointment.
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..

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.
If I were you, I would not have gone with the repeat of X-ray test unless it was absolutely necessary. X-ray are very harmful to the human cells and tissues. It was a ( Probably honest) mistake by the doctor who was going to give the correct report...and you forced him to take the x-ray again!! hmmmmm....I have nothing more to say.

Thanks for the reply but how did you conclude 'Future AC21 Changes' will be retroactive?
again from the same Murthy article:
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html
When explaining the risk of potentially stricter AC21 regulations to I-485 applicants, we are frequently asked, "If I change jobs under AC21 and the regulations are released after that, they won't apply to me, right?" Unfortunately, this is not correct. While it is not possible to predict the content or effective date of any future regulations, they will likely apply at the time of adjudicating the I-485 application, and not just when the job change occurs. In a hypothetical example, if new regulations were to limit the percentage of acceptable salary difference, or prevent multiple portings, the officer adjudicating the I-485 could decide that the job change violates the regulations, even if the change occurred months or years before the new regulations were issued.

I applied for my H1B 9th year extension using I-140 substitution in 10th March 2008. My 8th year H1B was expired on 14th April 2008. Currently my 9th year H1B extension was is in pending status. Unfortunately my I-140 was denied on 18th April 2008 due to 4 years Bachelors degree.
I used PERM EB2 labor substitution (May 2006 PD) and filed I-140 in July 2007 and denied (NSC) directly with out RFE. This is due to 4 years bachelor's degree and I have 10+2+3(Diploma) +3 (engineering-AMIE). I already applied my 485, EAD and AP. I got AP and EAD, but didn’t use it. I have 12 years of experience before prior to the EB2 Labor Pirority Date.
Now how can I get my 9th year extension?
Can I appeal for I-140 and get 9th year H1B extension?
Could you please give me your valuable suggestions on this?
Thanks,
Naga

So I assume your PD need NOT be current to get FP notice?
As posted earlier in this thread "MOST" people will get FP notices. Sometimes minors do not
(from I485 instruction form)
5. Biometric services.
If you are between the ages of 14 and 79, you must be fingerprinted as part of the USCIS biometric services requirement. After you have filed this application, USCIS will notify you in writing of the time and location where you must go to be fingerprinted. If necessary, may also take your photograph and signature. Failure to appear to be fingerprinted or for other biometric services may result in a denial of your application.

You still haven't shown me the text from any of the three bills that says Masters in STEM are exempt from the EB cap. After all, that's the only thing that will prove you or me wrong.

Given the hopelessness of the situation in March, switched jobs and was unable to file labor for a variety of reasons. Now everyday I see people come over and tell me how they plan to switch jobs once the 6 month mandated hibernation is over...I feel like breaking something. Lot of them have even stopped working, confident that a new job awaits :mad:
8 years of paying taxes in this country and not even a piece of plastic to show for it. :mad:
--That ought to suck every bit of sanity left! I know "should have..would have..." doesn't matter anymore but I am curious why you did not opt to do labor substitution in june-july period. You should have had a crack at it.
I know people on h1 with consulting companies did better than those who got stuck with one permanent job.Stale career , stale pay and so on...
Do your best and make most of h1b.

Another helpful "negative feedback" is the trend of GC applicants stuck in the system moving out of the US. Understandably, most immigrant are reluctant to take this tough step but the trend is here and it grows like a snowball.
Excellent point!
Maybe the IV team, when interacting with legislators, can also highlight cases of exceptional persons who got tired of waiting for their green card and are now productively employed in their home country. That will be a nice complement to the stories of people like us who have still not given up.

Great..Thanks so much for your response. I will definitely consult an attorney as suggested by you, but your response gives me a ray of hope and clarifies quite a few things.
So, does this mean that same or similar job may not have any meaning? Because, now since I have an EAD, I can change my job in any field and then when my priority date becomes current, I will get my GC if no RFE occurs.
Also, does it also mean that once I have my I-140 approved and I-485 pending and also have my EAD, i don't need any kind of sponsoring or supporting documents from my new employer? I mean, can I apply to jobs that say Employer cannot sponsor a Visa or GC?
Thanks in advance.
I think "same or similar" job is common sense thing to keep in mind. You don't want to specialize in software architecture then switch to building construction architecture ;) Also remember that if you need an attorney to defend you, it will cost you more in money and peace of mind. So it is better to stick with what you know, if you know what I mean.
In answer to your question, no - you do not need any supporting documents from your new employer except in the case of filing an AC-21 letter which must come from your new employer. You also do not need to file an AC-21 right away. Taken another way, in other words, you can choose to have the AC-21 conversation with the new company after you have been with them for a few weeks and have a degree of comfort with them.
So you can apply to any jobs that say employers cannot sponsor visa or GC because you are not technically seeking their direct support for your pending I-485 adjustment. If they ask for proof of employability, present your EAD (formally called Form I-766) and you should be good to go. EAD Form I-766 is listed as a LIST A document on Form I-9. See item #4 on page 4 of this document:
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/I-9.pdf
List A means you need only present this document for employment verification. You don't even need to show any other document such as passport, driver's license, old H1-B, etc.

Guys,
Finally my problem and my questions are solved.
I drove up to the Canadian Border near Niagara Falls (Buffalo), they Canaidan Border Officials took my I-94. I took a drive in canada for 10 minutes. I even stopped at spot to view the Niagara Falls from Canadian side and drove back into US. I was issued a new I-94 with out any additional interogation.
What surprised me was my Canadian Visa expired on 09/01/2007 and i was still allowed to enter into Canada.
Anyways Thank you guys for all your responses.
I am kind of relieved related to my issue related to I-94.

Thanks for bringing this up.. This is a legitimate concern.. Lets just hope this doesn't happen to any of us... Although hope is all we can do for now...:(
Has anyone considered the implications of identity theft, fraud etc if the USCIS does start returning the adjustment of status applications? When my daughter applied for adjustment of status a couple of years ago her application was rejected erroneously and returned to her. When she opened the package, it not only contained her information, but also someone else's highly confidential and personal documents. The documents were completely mixed in with hers - all out of order - and even the other person's check was returned to her. The person's case was also very time sensitive and of an extremely confidential nature.
We gathered up the information and personally returned it the local USCIS office - who told us it happens all the time! We sent a letter to the person concerned telling him what had happened and advising him to contact the office immediately.
Imagine what might happen if the USCIS starts returning the 1000's of July applications. There is a good possibility they could mix up applications, return them to wrong addresses or lose valuable paperwork. They certainly won't return applications via Fedex or UPS - they'll just throw them in the mail without any way to track them.
Many green card applicants, have social security numbers and have been working for years to build good a credit history. Anyone getting hold of these packages will have access to all personal history, addresses and of course the bank account information on the checks sent to pay the application fees. Just a thought . . .
