- How has greencard changed your life after receiving it?
- What did you do on the day you received it?
- How did the long wait upset your life?
- How did immigrationvoice help you during this long wait?
- Would you like to continue your support to immigration voice and help others waiting?
I got my GC after 6 years of application and 10 years arrival. Initially the GC was not a goal, probably a mistake.Later on it felt like it was hampering my dreams. With the passage of some more time, realized that dreams were not really dependent on the GC, but it was a nice crutch. Getting the GC does bring about some stability brought about by the job flexibility, but the lack of one did not prevent me from changing jobs, marrying, having kids, buying a home, or searching for better opportunities. I really can't say, I lost a good opportunity because I did not have a GC, but I did use it as an excuse.
Nevertheless, not a look a gift horse in the mouth, the GC was a much awaited event and milestone. I am now officially an immigrant, and I did open a champagne bottle on that day and have a dinner out with the family.
- Any advice for everyone?
It is easy to give this, since it would no longer apply to me, nevertheless, I would advice one to plan one's life without the feeling of entitlement and the understanding that the GC in itself will not change your life by a whole lot(it will have a lot of impact for some, but on average, lives for most will go on) . The ability to take risks, plan for risks and to compromise is independent of it. If not GC, then something else will replace it. So don't fret, fume or drown in sorrow, it will happen in time, with a constant plod towards the goal.

Changing jobs after 180 days of I-1485 pending/ I-140 approved.
Simple question:
1. Should I file AC-21 Memo with USCIS or not?
2. What are the risks of filing AC-21?
Note: I am working on EAD in Texas and my Labor was at IL but similar job.
3. Does Ac-21 always trigger a RFE and/or Interview?
4. What are the advantages of filing AC-21?
Please advise.

I agree with bharnik..
Perhaps, we are looking at things through the same perspective that everybody is looking at. Remember that the senators and congressmen include clauses what are provided by people like us or by businesses; for instance - the wording of the amendment that Senator Borwnback brought about, should have been a combination of materials from IV and other sources. I am sure that very few congressmen/leaders know what I-485 process or EAD actually means. People like us who are affected by the GC process have these form numbers and the corresponding processes on the top of our head. I suspect this is the case with the senators/congressmen or their staff, since 'legal immigration' is just 1 topic out of the numerous topics that they have to deal with.
So, I re-iterate that we need to work on things simultaneously. If one group is working through the congress, another group should target the agencies such as DOL, Service Centers.
I think, it is much easier for DOL or Service centers to bring about a 'memorandum' within the legal boundaries of the existing law; to best put it, to change the interpretations.
It is the same with the current bill under debate. It will take years before each and every aspect of the bill, once passed, is intrepreted and implemented. In the meanwhile some may get lucky by a certain interpretation, some may not. - until the final interpretation is confirmed.
IV has the clout now to approach agencies, explain to them our argument and see if we are able to convince them for short-term reliefs. It is just a matter of trying.
Bee:
Thanks for the link to the summary. But therein itself lies the solution. As you can see from the summary, the EAD eligibility in all cases explained above is in cases which does not impact the GC quota. Apparently, people against whom removal process is initiated is eligible to receive an EAD!!! Also, as you mentioned in your post, the CFR is not a law, it is an interpretation of law made by the agencies and the agencies are free to change the applicability, extension, conditions of eligibility for EAD as they seem fit. The reason is because COngress never foresaw these huge wait times when they passed the INA (in fact our FAQs make that pretty clear). I think if a little bit of persuasion is applied by the right people to the right places, we may just make this work. I agree with Raj, maybe we should take this a bit farther and see what develops.
Another compelling reason for doing this is the fact that even if the CIR were to be passed, by the time the agencies develop their regulations we are easily looking at another 2 yrs plus before we see the effects of the CIR.
I guess I am done on this topic. It was just a thought that I felt should be put out there for discussion.

Problem with not including filing fee is you do not get the receipt or receipt number, Hence difficult to track.
Customer service opened SR and sent to local office. Got letter from DHS (3 weeks back)that they researched case and are actively processing it, also if I dont get any correspondence with in 180 days contact them.
Till date I did not get any letter saying that case has opened. Will it help if I take Infopass and go to local office. Please advice.

F1 is not an option. To get an F-1 you have to prove intent to move back once your education is over. Being married to a permanent resident its almost impossible to prove that. This is a very tough situation. H-1 and L-1 are options but that depends on her educational background and line of work. One thing i would recommend if you plan to continue your stay in US is apply for her visitor visa before your marriage if you have enough time before your wedding. Atleast she can come visit you if she gets a multiple entry visa. Once you are married you can kiss good bye to the visitor visa option too.
It is not advisable to lie in your application about the wedding. If they find you of comitting fraud they can give you a 3 to 10 year ban from entering united states depending on the seriousness of the fraud.

1. Find an employer who is willing to H1 sponsorship.
2. The filing data starts by April 1st I beleive. Check with attorney.
3. Make sure your future employer does all the paper work required to file an H1. Ex. adv etc etc. Do not wait until April as the quota gets over in very short span of time. May be in few days.
4. Make sure you have all the paper work ready by march end and file it on April 1st or 2nd.
5. Check with attorney whether you need stamping to start working. I dont think so, but make sure. If you need a stamping, make proper arrangements to get it stamped. Once all are done, you are ready to rock from OCT 2007.
Time consuming part is finding an employer to do H1 and working with them to all the ground work before April 2007. Good luck.
Hi Group,
Am on H4 since Sep 06. I want to apply for a H1 this year. Can any one of u tell me the procedure? How long will it take for me to get a H1 and start working?
Thanks in advance.

Come on we need to learn to forget the cold war days. This is 21st century and the age of facebook and other social networking platforms. the world is getting more connected and there will soon be no place for fighter planes any more. What we need is "food" and "water".....
Nature is showing us again and again the futility of our ambitions (regional and international) through her rather quite infrequent thrashings these days....
296 people perished this week in terrible tornadoes (worst in last 40 years!!!).....10000 or more a month ago in Japan earthquake (5th worst ever recorded!!!)....

Papu,
Is IV in a position to check with USCIS on the official guideline for this issue?
Thanks.
Questions for everyone to research and post the answers------
-- Is there any real example on any internet forum, website or blog where someone faced problem in citizenship because they left their sponsor employer before 6 months expired? Do not find opinion but a real proof.
-- Can any lawyer provide a case example to illustrate the above. We can go into detail, talk to USCIS and seek clarification.
-- Is there anywhere in the law, memo or rulebook that says 6 month employment is needed after getting green card.

Believe it or not, I was about to open a thread like this. And here is the worst part, my AP has been approved 10 days ago, and so far neither the online status changed to approved nor i have received the approval copy. 2 ways I found out my AP was approved was through my local congressman and I took an infopass appointment. In the info pass appointment when I asked what is causing the delay in sending an approved AP, the officer says, if you did not get the approval notice in 45 days, call us back. This after waiting for more than 90days from the date of application. So, its not there until you have it in hand. Merely getting an approval these days is not enough, since they take anywhere upto 45 days to send the approval to you.

Guys,
Don't take it otherwise... I will NOT do anything against anybody.
That previous person (whose name was mentioned on this approved labor) already had left this employer in 2004...so there is no one getting hurt if this employer is offering me that labor.
- My question still remains : Is it necessary to go for labor substitution to use this approved labor (showing the name of old consultant)... OR ... Can it be possible to file I-140 straight with my profile against this labor....?
Hope you now understand my points & will give me sincere advises.
waiting for your help....
To answer your question - Yes, it is still required that you file your Labor. On the form (ETA 9089), which you will use to file your Labor - the very first question asks "Is this a substitution, ..." - To which, you 'check mark' the "Yes" box.
Your Labor application will be filed as PERM application - Once, your "Labor substitution" is approved - You will then file the I-140, 485 etc.
I agree with "LogicLife" - Make sure this is not a scam, else you will be in a much vulnerable position 6 months down the line.
I know the answer to your question - coz' a co-worker of mine who sits next to me, got the same thing done - while, I'm in line...waiting...:(
GOOD LUCK!!!

Thanks. she is still working for the same employer who sponsored her H1. Now, she needs to continue maintaining relation and continue working for them.
I am still worried though.. I read in this and other forums that USCIS may issue RFE asking for proof and if says medical leave, then asking for medical records etc.. So, better to prepare for some 'solid' answer with out any loopholes by being honest. I do not think lying would help and may lead to more troubles.
It means, if at all they have any doubts, they may issue RFE, but if you have a good relationship in responding to those RFEs using company letters etc, there is no problem. Good relation means, employer has to suppprt you always in case of any RFE, thats it. He needs stand on your side. Then there is no problem. But if he won't stand on your side, then it is a problem. So, thats why relation with employer is very important when on H1 or EB.

Are you talking about EB3-I? If not, ignore this post...
EB3-I dates are in Oct 01, there are no cases to approve, what will they approve?
What makes you think they are processing EB2-I more? Same logic applies here. Wait for the next bulletin, if you are EB3-I in 02 you'll get what is long overdue?
If thats the case then why don't they move the PD forward. EB3-I is stuck in 2001 since last 3 years and its not moving forward at all. How can we get some help here, ombudsman?

That was a very illogical reply to the per-country limit question. How come a large number of people from certain countries automatically eliminate people from smaller countries from getting green cards? That's an extremely dumb way of looking at it.
will go to people from India and China,
If you remove the limits, yes most of the cards THAT'S BECAUSE THEY'RE #$@!$ING BACKLOGGED FOR DECADES DUE TO THE LIMITS!!
Is not DUE the limits, is due many aplications from India.
The reality is pending ROW 2005 - 12,815 India 2004 - 14,191 :eek:
