Can you get AC 21 advantage if you just wait ( NOT WORK in case of a friendly past employer) after filing 485 ?
Is it necessary to work for 180 days ?
If working for 180 days is not required then, one can work for someone else on H1B & file 485 from the past employer. After 180 days of filing, one could use AC21 to move from one job to another.
Can some one give expert advise ?
Thanks

Few of my friends are trying EB3 to EB2 - which is a good alternative to waiting but doing nothing.
They believe they are wrongly put in EB3 as they believe their education and job requirements match with EB2. But wrong company policy put them in EB3.
Will post if I hear back from them.
Good luck to everyone who is doing this; it's a great step! It is a step worth trying than the endless wait and should be encouraged.

along with all the great work being done by IV, I have to admit, the one annoying thing that we have to contend with is the wild speculative rumors that spread like wildfire... can people please stop spreading these and just wait a few hours for the announcement....
rumour on what seems to be a rumour. What IV has said is still a rumour until an official statement comes out. Pls grow up fellas, if you think its sensationalism, well aren't we having a roller coster ride for past month now..
and yet i hate to remind ppl, this is what the forum is for. If IV, Oh Law or anyothe site puts such news..its sensational already. cmon cut the crap. speculate as you wish..but speculate intelligently..

You are right axp817, but small correction.
Company A (old company) attorney filed I 485 based on the I-140 approval from
company A.
Oh well....The only thing which can save your I-485 now is an offer letter from company A for future employment upon your GC approval. I hope you can get it. Your attorney should have let you know about this when he was filing your I-485. And as far as he giving you a choice to pick an employer, afaik, I don't think you have a choice since your I-485 was filed after your changed employers. You need a letter from company A, period. (This is my opinion)

Yes, Many just browse and forget it. If they have a question, they will register and post into the forum. To post a response/question you have to be registered. Those people are taken care of and are members. How ever, its those bunch of people who dont have a specific issue at this time and are just watching over. I feel that any given time 60-70 % of the guest are just watchers (I mean not anti-immi, reporters etc ). If we can entice half of them that gets us going a lot. Registered members will any way login as soon as they are on the website and will not be bothered by popups. The pop up should come only once per session.

Berkeleybee,
Discussing the way the immigrants are treated in this country is a very constructive conversation. Discussing the way of getting out of this situation is also a very constructive conversation.
Although I appreciate your (the core team) efforts and support them, we are still light years away from a quick and effective solution of the backlog and retrogression problems. All - government, Senate, Congress, Immigration service, big business etc do not care at all about the legal immigrants (better not use another popular expression :-). Do you need a prove for that !? And do you know why is that ? - because nobody "votes with the feet" and there is a permanent flow of "dreamers" hoping to get a GC. The big business is interested in guest workers, not in quick resolution of the GC problem - idiots like us cost less, do not dear to demand rights and are quiet and patient people who could bear a lot. And do not forget that the big business pulls the strings of the politicians.
Bottom line - the lack of negative feedback (voting with the feet for example) contributed to the current mess in the Immigration.
You should have access to my email address - call me and I will give you some helpful information.

namm80,
Just curious, when were your applications originally sent. Also are you EB3 or EB2 and country????
I am in similar situation. Originally applied to NSC, got Xfr'd to CSC. Now CSC after processing EAD/AP Xfr'd my I-485 back to NSC.
ANyone in similar situation has rcvd Finger printing notices? I assume Aug 17th filers at NSC are ahead of us?
Also, i received the EADs in mail, but haven't received the AP even though online status reads AP mailed a week back. Any idea how long it takes to get AP after it online status reads approved?
Please share any information.

Yes, we cannot give up just because we got EAD. Due to a silly mistake, most of us eligible were able to file for I-485. It does not matter whether EB2 or EB3. We are LEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
Leaving our family relaitives, pursuing a career and leading family in getting new friends here, immigration delays have been causing nightmares.
Imagine a person who is pursuing American Dream and waiting for Green Card for 10 years? This means the prospective life of (mid 20s to mid 30s) of a guy is lost in pursuing GC? Is this the modern era slavery? Hitech slavery? Green Card should give us more flexibility.
So, united we stand to fight for legal immigration!
Jaihind!

Folks :
Thanks for all the replies that you guys have been posting to this thread. On one hand I am happy that I am not alone facing this issue at the same time I am sad that we all are having to deal with this issue.
Anyways, what I have learned so far based on my research is that the reason USCIS was rejecting my application was because they wanted to figure out if I qualify for the fee waiver based on the July 30, 2007 rule. The I-485 receipt notice apparently depicts the fee paid to USCIS and hence is an easy way for someone to tell if they qualify for that.
Apparently, the personnel screening the applications at the USCIS Phoenix Lock Box have been told to use the I-485 receipt notice to figure out if the correct fee has been provided with the application. So if the I-485 receipt notice is missing (as it is for some of us), they don't know how to determine if the correct fee has been provided or not. Apparently, they can't go into the system and pull our I-485 records to check (or perhaps they don't want to). That's the reason they reject the application with those two seemingly unrelated reasons.
I have eFiled this time and hence I have bypassed that screening in some ways. My application should not be rejected due to this anymore (theoritically). I called USCIS up again later to request a duplicate I-485 receipt notice and they told me that I should not be needing it anymore as my I-765 (eFiled) has been accepted. So we'll wait and see.
I am now planning to request expedited processing of my application. For an expedited processing to be approved, it needs to satisfy atleast one of the following criteria according to USCIS...
1) Severe financial loss to company or individual
2) Extreme emergent situation
3) Humanitarian situation
4) Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
5) Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
6) USCIS error
7) Compelling interest of USCIS
I feel I am fall under the point 1) and point 6). The IO that I talked to over the phone told me to write to USCIS with appropriate documentation.
At this time, I would like to learn from you guys if anyone of you have applied for expedited processing, what criteria did you apply under and what was your experience with it.
Further, I would appreciate if you guys comment on the reason that I plan to apply under...Do guys think it will work?
Thanks!

I don't think there is any problem in EAD approval if you go out of country after filing it. I left USA the very next day of filing I-485. Still out of USA (in Canada). I already got my EAD and am waiting for AP. My attorney also said that for filing EAD, AP, 485 I must be physically present in USA.
Just to be safe maintain your H-1B status in case there is any issue with AP (because of what murthy's firm told). I can update on my AP status as soon as I hear something.

Scythe - that would mean that the three tied entries would get around $85 dollars (150+100 divided by 3), and that seems a bit unfair considering second place is $150 and third place is $100.
I'll get the poll up right now. It took me a little longer than expected because Temp poked me in the eye with his poke.

Being new to both digital photography with a DSLR and these forums it sure would be of value to have someone post their examples of their back focus issues as well as an explanation as to what it is. I'm strongly considering the Nikon D70 and would appreciate any feedback and examples of the photos people have taken with the D70.
Thanks,
Dain

One of my friend got EAD 2 year back even though his priority date was not came. Ofcourse this was even b4 this mess created USCIS. He was still using his H1 till couple months back, he is afraid of USCIS may roll back his EAD since PD is not yet reached.
I do heared 11 people from Infxxxx company got EAD even though their PD was not current. They are saying by mistake send the package but they got EAD.
I do know personally that person on the 1st paragraph, on the 2nd paragraph I dont have any evidence.....
Just sharing this information to help this thread, hope there may be lot more cases got EAD without PD even before this mess they have created.:D
You don't need your PD to be current for EAD/AP

It would have been much helpful had DOS put forth the no. of visas still left over.
What's your take on the latest visa bulletin.

Answer by Ron
They did say that they only had "a handful" of visas left. This advance is not necessarily inconsistent with that earlier statement. In order to use up visas and avoid waste, the Visa Office has to manage the quota to make sure that there are enough applications AND ADJUDICATIONS to exhaust the quota. They have no control over the CIS, but they do have control over the overseas consular posts.
What this tells me is that the CIS is doing nothing (or next to nothing) to use up India and China E2 numbers. By advancing the cutoff dates last month, VO was able to make more cases at overseas posts available for close out. Since the CIS obviously did not use many China/India E2 numbers in July and August, VO has had to advance the cutoff dates again to make enough cases pending at consular posts available to use up those few remaining numbers.
