If one changes from EB3 to EB2, then priority date is lost!
Karthik,
(I am not expert) but I believe , you have to refile (New application) under EB2 catagory and port the EB3 date to EB2.

Are you sure he is an attorney? May be he is a normal guy like me still in his halloween costume as Attorney.:D
Hi Experts,
The question i've is:
I heard from my Immigration Lawyer that,from November 01, 2008, any person who works in Information Technology (IT) and who has Advanced Degree from USA like Master's is eligible for EB3 Category only and not EB2 category. Please confirm if the above statement is true or not.
Thanks,
Abhi

I agree with the majority of the posts here that talk about bickering and infighting that we have as opposed to remaining focused on our common goal. Just because someone had a bright spark that people with Masters should get Green Cards, is the USCIS going to honor that and change the rules to benefit us? I think we need to remain patient and focused on the job at hand. i.e - supporting the IV front liners and having a single voice which boldly and clearly talks of expediting the green card process. If we are not going to to act in unison, we are the biggest losers!
FYI - I have been in the country long enough and have gone through the pain of bungling lawyers and unresponsive management..so its not that I choose to be +ve since I haven't had any bad experience with this process!!

Have to agree that it appears to be the case. Look at I140... there is a 4 month difference between the 2 centers. How could that happen?! How come they did not balance the workload to ensure work is done in an orderly way? Probably it is pure mismanagement and incompetence???

We went home after my wife started working using the EAD. After we came back we applied for your H1 and H4 extension and one we got that now we are in H status instead of EAD status. It is a little tricky. When we came back we entered as parolee but once we applied and extended our H1\H4 status we ar eback to H1\H4 status. Your lawyer would be able to explain it better.
My lawyer suggetsed that it is better to be in H status as it gives some manuvering time and opportunity in case the 485 is denied.
Thanks
khans02,
Based on your message, it seems that you and your wife are in H1/H4 status now after the extension. Does that mean that your wife has now stopped working?...because you have mentioned that she was working on EAD before you guys left for India.

If an individual already has a pending AOS application on file when a retrogression occurs that places the cutoff earlier than the applicant's priority date, USCIS sets the application aside and will not adjudicate it until the priority date is current again. As an example, after months of stagnation, in June 2007 the priority date cutoffs for employment-based second and third preference (EB2 and EB3) applicants (the bulk of employment-based green card applicants) advanced dramatically for all countries of birth

Completely agreee with hari_baby22. Couple of days back I posted that immigration voice could get a lot more donations if they publish there earnings/expenses report online and make everything transparent. Lot of people including myself, do not contribute because they dont know how funds are getting used. My post was deleted by administrator and I got following message -->
Here is the message that has just been posted:
***************
We don't think you are for real. We believe you are an agent of a for profit immigration website.
***************
This time my user account itself might get deleted....
Guys I had posted this yesterday IV is a non-profit. Check the video below - there is nothing to hide:
Immigration Voice funds disclosure on Yahoo! Video (http://video.yahoo.com/watch/234998/1863489)
The fact that IV is helping Donors is because all its activities are only possible because of Donors, and we are still short of funding. If this was for all for free, then no campaign could be acheived.
And believe it or not , we get a lot of spam and rogue users visiting IV.
BTW I am not in IV management
We need you and a lot more to join. I can't believe you cannot trust IV a non-profit organization with even $25

I had my GC approved out of line last year in aug [was current (pd march 2006), but processing time wasn't current for texas at that time]. EADs for both me and my spouse had been approved like 1 week before this happened. Hers was for 2 yrs and mine for 1 yr. What happens to her application if I loose my job or leave my job ? I am the primary.
Since that I-485 is a derivative application, your job change should not impact her pending I-485 application.

With regard to HSMP issues in UK some Indian Minister (I think PC Chidambram...) made a public comment a few days back and the political establishment in UK took notice.
For US, people need to write to India's PM Manmohan Singh. If 50,000 letters go to him then he will talk to Bush and something can work out. NRIs anyway have a lot of say now in Delhi unlike 10 years back when they were totally disliked. Just wasting time on chat boards will lead to nothing. Even Microsoft and Intel are unable to convince politicians here. It has to come from a higher authority with whom there are mutual stakes involved. Manmohan Singh is the only guy who can help here because today there are several mutually important and high stake issues between India and US.

Thanks so much for sharing this information - it is frustrating that one's career advancement can impact negatively one's GC application, especially if one has been waiting for 5+ years. I guess one can only carry on with one's career and hope for the best :).
As per the current guidelines adjudicating officer makes the determination based on Department of Labor SOC/O*net code in the Labror Certification Application (ETA 9098) form. ( It's very critical to have a copy of LC application, before considering AC21. If you don't have it through employer, you can get a copy from DOL through FOIA request )
DOLs SOC/O*Net gives the job description for the Job code as well as "same or similar" jobs (if you search on your SOC/O*net code)
http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/
Here's an example - http://www.onetcodeconnector.org/ccreport/15-1031.00
This is the website IOs are supposed to be using (as per guidelines). Becoming a Sr. Software Engineer from Software Engineer shouldn't be an issue. Salary hike beyond 50% could (or could not) be a problem based on the IOs sole discretion. 50% is just a ball-park assumed by most immigration attorneys. In reality, there is no such preset limit. It's entirely upto the IOs decision.
Promotion as manager is a tricky situation, as Job description changes. IO may consider it 'same or similar', or consider it altogether different. In such cases it may be possible to prove the jobs are similar by obtaining an 'Expert Opinion Letter' from an expert in the field ( such as a Professor of Computer Science from a University).

Truth always hurts. It is not too much talking when I say that people can't afford to contribute 20 bucks to IV. Out of roughly 9000 members, only 200 contributed in the last contribution drive and now you should be able to do the math yourself. That is the fact and it's very troubling that 98% of the members chose to contribute nothing.
If you expect 200 people to find relief for 1 million so called high skilled immigrants present in United States, may be you need to wake up and do some reality check. Just checking IV 50 times a day for an update will not bring any relief, if that's what you are counting on. No wonder we are yet to see any relief whatsoever.
Please dont be rubbish to others. your suggestion to open another thread which make sense. BUT your contribution request and even talking their affordability to 20 bucks are too much talking.

There is no problem in TX. My H1B is expiring in Dec 2006. I got New Drivers License upto Apr 2013.
But, for H4, they wanted to see visa stamped. There is no relation between H1 / H4 / I94 validity dates to issue.

This is why I said 221G is a good initiative. Even if people have to suffer a little bit, full check is needed for every visa stamping and every green card application.
221g is become a unwritten norm in India, sort of like putting roadblocks. The whole visa system was based on "Honor" system but cheating became rampant. Thus the unfortunate need to use unusual measures like 221g
There was a time when marriage to US citizens for GC was used and abused like anything and some US citizen made it their profession (still happens now but lot lesser). Then in 1986 they added a 2 year wait period for GC permanency for GC based on marriage to USC and whole bunch of penalty rules for abuse. They are talking of introducing this even for Canada now (with conservative majority might happen)

when I reached DC on Monday. Countless "Airborne" tabs in water during the day kept me going for the lawmaker meetings(I did 95% of the talking), the reception on Monday evening and the rally.
I cannot explain the experience felt at the rally. There were infants, small children and many many strollers. I took pictures of all of them (will upload during the day).
I was thrilled to meet "macaca". "guyfromsg" was awesome with his spirit all throughout. Chandu sported dark glasses and looked awesome and he was still charged to get more people to the rally.
It is very unfortunate that many of you just squandered such a great opportunity to be part of history. The 1500 numbers floating around is not true. There were more people than that. We will know soon from IV core.
Greg Siskind sported his IV TShirt and he was proud to be taking part in the rally. He spent a lot of time with IV.
"NeedHelp" came with her 3-4 year old daughter who is quite sweet and sat at the first row at the gathering on the lawns of the US Capitol.

My wife and daughter planning to go to India next month. They do not have H4 stamping but H4 validity is there up to next year. Plan is to come back after receiving AP. I am thinking that once their AP is approved I will send their AP to India, and they will come back using that AP. Experts, do you see any problem in this. Please share your thoughts.

I did not feel like signing along for two reasons: we are not US citizen yet, and I consider myself citizen of the world and will always be. I do not aspire to become citizen of the United States of America.
Even when Americans sang their national anthem in a church, I felt not right. Churches are not supposed to be linked to states. There should be no country boundary within the Christian world.
There should be no country boundary within the world we want to build either.
By the way, if the United States go to war with your country of birth, who will you side with? Will the United States trust you?
