I wanted to know if any one's online status changed after FP is completed.
I had an LUD on my record after my lawyer sent the clarification to USCIS. But the status remains the same as ".... Case in suspense". Did any one's status came to Pending or a less ominous one?

I know Immigration voice is not for profit organization and it is doing a great job.
My intention is not to belittle IV, my intention is just to express my opinion as a user, most of the problem will be solved if the links are not shown to non members if they are not allowed to see the content.
I just saw your post in YouTube, it is very informative.
All the time and effort that IV volunteers put in and the lobbying efforts don't come free. There is a cost associated with it. As tonyHK12, I'd rather trust IV and risk $25 a month than leave everything up to chance and hope. Just my 2 cents.

No one reads the comments before they vote, plus it takes more than that to guilt trip people into voting.
Might donate to orphans that were hurt in that toy fire explosion started by a guy dressed in a barney costume who happened to remove the costumes head right before hand. Did I mention they don't have long to live.

Guys,
Not sure whether my suggestions help any one, but I do have some real time knowledge about this process.
You can do EB2 with following options
1. A bachelor's (4 year degree) + 5 years exp. This exp should be with prior companies.
2. Master's with no minimum exp.
I am assuming you guys already have knowledge about EB2 requirements and skills. Basically, there is nothing in IT, which needs Bachelors or Masters. Requirement is defined by HR on advice by Attorney. Any job requirement can be defined as some thing which needs a bachelors or masters.
My company applied for me and another guy under EB2, since both of us have master's degrees over here. But, for another guy who had 7-8 years of prior exp, my attorney applied in EB3. This guys is a dev team lead and is one level above me.
By April 2008, we had our I-140's approved, but this guy (in EB3) doesn't know he in EB3.
Accidentally, I found out when I am cross checking with him regarding H4 extension for my wife, whether he did it on time for his wife.
We forced him to talk to HR and Attorney and they agreed to do EB2 for him.
Attorney simply filed I-140 under EB2 using his EB3 labor and it was approved in 4 months.
We are confused about this whole process, but it worked for him. May be some of you, who falls in this category can try doing the same with out actually changing jobs.
Another option for people who are using EAD. I am encouraging one of my colleague to get him to talk to HR, to apply for EB2. He doesn't have H1, but one doesn't need to have H1, when they have some thing like EAD. They can use EAD to change job and start the process again, but once their ported old PD with new I-140 was approved, they will be ready to file new I-485. This will reduce their waiting time a lot.
Thanks,
Nayekal

Yes its good USCIS have revenue to hire more people to process our applications. Well said.
It makes no difference whether they allow concurrent filing of 140/485 or not IF YOUR EMPLOYER IS WILLING to pay extra premium processing for 140. IF not , it makes minimal difference (2-3 months delay). Earlier this year, people were getting 140 approved on 6-8 weeks average without premium fee.
If your date is not current:
This rule makes 0 difference. File 140 and wait for approval while your date moves forward. Once its current, file 485.
If your date is current: File 140, regular processing 2-3 months and then file 485. If you can get premium processing done then it would be 15 days and then file 485. Either ways, you are delay in filing 485 by 2-3 months. In the grand scheme of things, its negligible. It would take even 2 months for your lawyer to get the paperwork straight for filing 485.
So please relax, this new rule that does not allow concurrent filing of 485 and 140 is not earth-shattering. Its a revenue generation move. And its good as long as revenue stays in USCIS as they do need revenue to hire more people to process files faster, which is in our own benefit. The only problem we have is the rise in fees generates revenue which often times does not stay with USCIS and goes away to other agencies of DHS(I think, this was mentioned in CIS Ombudsman report, if I am not wrong).

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 probably need to find another employer. Big companies will pull back the perm when they start layoffs. I had this experience during the dotcom crash. It took my company 3 years before they started doing the GC again.
Relax and don't get stressed.

But in not "voting with our feet" we are part of the problem. Just imagine, if a substantial fraction of H1 visa holders left the US tomorrow (and quoted the backlogs as the cause) wouldn't that get more attention than all our efforts so far?
You are dead right .. but a bigger contributing factor is the fact that a vast majority of GC applicants come from a small number of highly populated labor-surplus countries, with a virtually infinite stream of young people itching to land here even if we go back ... the demand from our home countries is as big an issue as our reluctance to go back. Thats why you see corporates lobbying heavily for H1-B visas, but not as much for EBs.Simple supply and demand.
But, this game isnt going to go on forever. Those people who want to come here are not idiots. The prime reason so many students and skilled workers choose to come here rather some other developed country is because of the possibility of settling here .. when this turns out to be a mirage and word spreads about our plight, the trend will reverse dramatically. The only question is how soon .. we are definitely in a position to accelerate that.

Hi,
I am currently on H1B and my 6 years is ending later this year. I have a Canadian PR and planning to move to Canada permanently before my H1 visa ends.
As I will be exporting my car I am planning to leave US by "Land"- mostly via Blaine,WA - Peace Arch border to enter BC, Canada.
The question I have is : where to return my I-94 (expired and the extended one that came with I797) when I leave by LAND as there are no "US CBP agents/office" when we leave US by land. I went through US CBP website and find that there is a process to send I-94 after leaving the country to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY".
Unfortunately as I will be entering as a Canadian PR, there will not be any stamp in my passport to record my entry to Canada and hence won't be able to prove to "ACS - CBP SBU , KY" my date of departure from US. The reason I am worried is that I don't want to get in to any overstay issues if I need to come to US in future.
Any thoughts/suggestions on how I can overcome this issue and record my departure correctly when leaving US via LAND?
Thanks in advance.

People do not buy house to sell it. They buy it so that they can live for a long time. And when you do not know how long you are going to stay in this country(because of immigration issues) then why would they buy. There is something called closing cost, who will pay them if you have to sell?

As understand the process
1) First one should change the employer with new job.
2) Apply for new Labor (with EB2 requirements) -- PERM 3 months.
3) Apply for new I-140 (use old I-485) -- PREMIUM 1 month.
4) No need to apply for NEW I-485.
Guys, this is the best option for EB3, use it.. with in 4 months you are current... let us port to EB2...no need to wait this VISA bulletin saga.

As somebody said earlier, it's not right a forcing statement to make somebody donate. When I read the first reply of my email was not something which I asked advice but a dontation I was somewhat flustered. IT reached the limites when somebody mentioned cancel your trip of Bahamas and donate. Bharatpremi, I must say mind your own business, don't tell me what to do.
On top people have repped in wierd ways as well.
I would just say please mind your own business in these things if you don't want to give advice, dont act like some jerk and tell me what to do and what not to do..
By the way I have already donated money in past before DC rally and will donate again.
Please don't spoil the spirit of forum and try to act maturely!!!
Bunch of losers. I am done with this forum.
settle down kid - no need to get 'flustered' over my request to donate. trust me if i had known the answer to your question that wouldbve been part of my answer too. and you're the loser if you run away from such a terrific forum

Yep, I got the same answer from the IO at my Infopass, when I asked about my Interfile. BTW, what process did your lawyer follow to inform USCIS about the interfile request?
PD : Oct 2005
EB3 - I140
I-485 RD 07/02/2007
EB2 - I140 , Approved 10/2007, PD : Oct 2005
Interfiled May 2008, no reply, no info.
After my new EB2 I-140 got approved with (old PD), Lawyer requested USCIS by mail to interfile my Case.
In that notice, he clearly mentioned all about my information in few lines and also request to approved ASAP as the PD is current according to the bulletin.
Hope this helps. If you want more info. let me know. I will gladly share.

How many copies of RFE do they send? i mean do they only send one RFE notice to Attorney or do they send one RFE notice to Attorney and a copy to employer?? Can somebody tell me..
Only one copy is sent to the attorney.....If you applied under premium processing, USCIS faxes a copy to the attorney before mailing the RFE hardcopy....
