Stuk,
You'll be stuck forever if your 140 gets denied after you use AC21. If the 140 gets denied, your 485 will be denied automatically and your EAD becomes invalid. At this point, you have the option of filing a motion to reopen the 140 case and/or applying for an H1(that is not subject to quota), provided you have not spent more than 180 days in the US after your 140/485 are denied.
In all likelihood your H1 will be approved, but you need to go to your home country to get the visa stamped and reenter to start work. When you go for stamping to your home country there a a good chance that your stamping might be denied because you have shown 'intent to immigrate' by applying for 140/485 earlier. Granted, H1B in and of itself is a dual intent visa but you will be at the mercy of the visa officer at the consulate and the odds are stacked up against you.
So, be very very careful if you exercise AC21 prior to your 140 approval.

The best alternative is to ask your new employer to file for premium H1b transfer.

I guess I can safely say that I have some experience in this subject. I've not got much to show for it in my gallery, but I've taken a few thousand more or less successful pictures of motorcycles.

As everyone said, some tracking and slower shutter will make it "move" better. Not too much tho'. At 400 mm, I usually set the time to 1/400 or 1/320. At shorter lengths, down to 1/100.

Motocross is slightly slower than road-racing, so you may want to lengthen that time a little bit.

It all depends on your panning skills too.

Hello All,

My RIR (EB3) is still pending and the PD is Nov 2004.

My Perm (EB3) got approved April 2007.

Now I'm on 7th year H1b based on my RIR date.

If i file 140 based PERM and PD will be april 2007, If approved I'm eligible for 3 years H1 extension.

What happen if my RIR got approved? Can I file another I140 and retain my PD as Nov 2004?

Pl. advice.

Thanks

Hello,

I am in serious trouble. Sometime ago I tried to switch my I-140 from EB3 to EB2. Now I get NOID to deny 140. Something related to prevailing wage (lawyer has actual letter). In my LC the offered wage was OK for EB3 but low for EB2. Lawyer says he'll try to reinstate EB3, but not sure. Has any one of you been able to reinstate EB3 140? Please help...


this is good stuff. hopefully they have more of these noids so that people can stop this insanity with switching categories, priority dates, labor substitution and exploiting the system.

Great job IV..I am proud to be a part of IV.

I can make some calls.
Please help people, this is our next action item after the flower campaign.

Spend less time discussing who to send flowers to next, and more helping on the immediate task at hand!

I challenge you!

:D

If you have I140 cleared from company A you can use Priority date if you change Job and apply fresh GC from Company B in any catergory.

How will this change if the new legislation/amendment that are discussed passes.

Any ideas guys.

I would recommend you take up the new job and apply under the point based system. Right now they have 140K for EB categories and it will go down to 90K. So even if you keep your PD, you case will be retrogressed further.

to everyone willing to contribute to the efforts
please hold on, i will get back to you once the structure of the new work groups is finalized. remember to complete your profile!

After reading this, I was not sure whether that 140K included the Labour backlogs. I know the BECs have been a lot more active lately and have been pumping out approvals/denials more rapidly.
If infact 140K backlogs do include them, then perhaps that would be a good thing, since atleast then we can perhaps begin to get our arms around this and understand how long our waits will actually be.
One thing is for sure they have definitely stepped up the speed of things at the USCIS with other filings after retrogression hit.
-----------

This is just USCIS backlogs, DOL is a separate agency and the labor backlogs do not count in this.

Can we also post the number of enrolled members on the web site along with the contribution?

Hang in there, i am in a similar boat, I applied for 485 in late 2003 and missed the boat each time with namecheck, i was cleared all this while but my wife who is the primary was stuck. I am on my 4th EAD/AP, just applied for the 5time.

My 6 years of H1 expired long back, i guess we were lucky to be able to file for 485 and i could continue working on EAD.

Our great lawyer who filed an EB3 petion for my wife and 'advisied' my company 3 years back not to spend money on my labor because my wifes PD of mid 2002 was good. I know i should have broken a coconut and applied vermillion on the application before sending it off, maybe that would have changed everything :p

I filed my I485 mid 2003. I missed the boat end of 2004, some where in 2005 and then in 2007 when my dates were current. My pd is in 2002. People who filed with me have been approved and they are ready for citizenship next year :mad:, while I got my 6th EAD approved

For the second I-140, He should have applied asking for the previous Priority date. I am not sure about this, but if there is a way to get previous Priority date of Dec-2002 on the EB2 (NEW I-140). Then s/he would be current (assuming India, China).

I came back on Feb 17th from India.
My visa expiry date: Sept 2009
PP expires July 2009

I -94 I got is till July- 99
The officer mentioned since my PP expires he is issuing I-94 only till PP expiry date. This was in LAX. I did not argue, I think I should have said something after reading all these posts.

How is e-Verify going to affect legal immigrants ?

Give a try if they can update it.

Intehan,
Thanks.

IV is great..

There are a few suckers who gave me red dots for this post.
This was my first post and I dont think I wrote anything offending.

ill vote for u then paddy

thanks for telling me about the duplicate

My 2 cents.

If you employer accepts or lawyer accepts the porting the date then your friend can apply the EB2 priority date to EB3 date.

Means he/she can get EB2 with 2002. As per my knowledge it is possible. But please dont ask me the document. Check with google or some website for document.

Thanks.

Shoot ... I knew I didnt get that right ... :p
