PD Transfer can even be done @ i-485 stage too, but that's not as straight a process as porting it at the I-140 stage. But technically, it can be done at I-485 too.

I would say:
Merge all these threads into one - at least 3 or 4 people can take charge over the thread - the first few posts can be updates and tracking info and finalization of drafts and plans
Please encourage ONLY members who are committed, they can be ones who have posted real profile and who have joined state chapters - usually state chapter members are verified members.
It would be great if someone from IV core can also guide on such efforts

I do NOT understand about AILA's lawsuit if the packages don't come back.
But as long as you can reproduce the Originals you should be able to file
485 again if your PD becomes CURRENT - Why Not ??
Is there any law which says that unless you get back 485 rejected you can't
file again. I dont think so.

As per immigration-law.com..Senate may work on CIR in March 07 and hand it over to House by APril 07....House may however sit on it for years on end...
02/18/2007: Need for Immigration Reform and Concerns with Growing Gridlock in Legislations in the Congress
The Democrats launched a new Congress with aggressive platforms and legislative agenda on January 4, 2007. Madame Pelosi of the House set the first 100-hour legislative agenda and the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid presented on the Senate floor ten legislative bills as top priority for the first few months of the Senate.
However, immersed in the party politics, the Congress left the Hill yesterday, Saturday, for a week long break without achieving a lot because of the gridlock it had faced in the Congress. Samo, Samo Washington politics involving the Republicans and Democrats. It practically means that the Congress wll not resume the active legislative activities until March 2007.
S. 9, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill, adopted by the Senate floor, is in the Judiciary Committee of the Senate. The newly elected Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Leahy, reportedly set the CIR as one of the top agenda of the Judiciary Committee for March 2007 and the Democratic leaders reportedly determined to pass the CIR by April 2007 and quickly send it over to the House for its prompt action. How beautiful the agenda of the new Congress.
We want to watch carefully how closely the leaders of the House and Senate will follow through the agenda. In a way, from the perspectives of this immigration legislation agenda, we are relieved that the Congress was over with the most serious road block to the Congress, to wit, rebuke of Bush's resurge in Iraq.

I don't want you to freak out because my case is probably a very small fraction of the visa applications BUT since this thread is specifically related to PIMS, I thought I'd give you my example. Good news for you is, you are going to India. I was stuck in Canada not knowing long it might take for the PIMS to get updated. I ended up touring North Canada but I wish I could've traveled with a peace of mind.

I think members have written tons of pages on forums, spent days not hours predicting the actions of USCIS. But we need to understand that nothing and nobody can predict three things.
1. Earthquakes
2. Shooting stars and
3. USCIS
u may be right , Although the bill H.5882 hopes to remove the last item on ur list.

If you can do that. Go for it. YOu will get your GC in 6 mths after coming here on L1.
Hi All,
I have been following the postings on this forum. I appreciate all the hard work the core group is doing. I also appreciate the active participation by all members in answering/discussing the forum topics.
I have contributed a one time $200.00 in support and would contribute more and request every one to support in there capacity.
Every one needs PR status, but in my case, the need is more for my wife, because of the reason that she wants to pursue her medical residency here.
I sometimes wonder and sometimes I feel like going back to India, work for my present company for 1 year, come back here on a managerial/executive position on L1 along with my wife and apply for Perm in Eb1 cat...this said is all my thought!
This would enable my wife to get work permit as L1 dependent and an eventually a residency position in a good univ and a current 1-485 status.
Only thing though is my wife would need to attend interviews.
Any suggestions/feedback will help me and all other people in this situation.
Thank You,
The 116

beautifulMind - does your new I-140 have old priority date from EB3?
I think you should not have any issues filing for EAD, all you need are your pending I-485's receipt notice. good luck!
Don't tell the world that you r a linebreaker
My line was broken twice before by fate. I have been here for 11 years now have a masters and worked for the same company from 8 years. lawyer screwed up filing in eb3 first when it should have always been eb2 so we refiled again....and once before I lost priority date for another reason. Anyways i am happy to be in EB2 with a priority date for Jan 2007

Your H1B extension has no value till 09/24/10 when it becomes active.
You can probably go to India to get H1B stamped on July but you have to present your current H1B approval as the petition required and ( check with your office lawyer on this ) you are most likely going to get H1B visa valid till 09/23/10 ( based on your current petition ) . I don't know what your POE in US is , but I've heard/read anecdotes where the CBP officer at POE plays 'too much on top of his things' and tells people that their entry date is very close to their visa expiration date , that's when you bring out your extension approval. Once again , please check with your lawyer on possible issues to look out for, but this can be done.
You can work legally in US with an expired visa and a legitimate H1B extension approval notice.
Good luck.

i am going to do almost exactly what you are thinking in a matter of few days. i spoke to two lawyers. essentially, ac21 allows this and there is nothing that you have to really do. Of course, i am assuming that you are moving into a job that has the similar job duties as specified in your labor application. what you need to do is make 100% sure that you have documentation to prove this job duties similarity. if you are going to get an SOW from your client, make sure that the SOW is similar to your labor. if you can, do get a letter from your client (where you will do your actual work) stating your job responsibilities, work content etc. you will also need to document/prove actual existence of your business by showing your tax transactions, invoices/receipts etc. also, make sure that you are spending 40 hours (or whatever is the equivalent of a full time job) doing your labor certified job... all this will be required only if USCIS sends you an RFE or calls you for an interview.
wish you luck
Don't you think if you're changing jobs and new job has to be fulltime with new employer? not contract?
Can we invoke AC21 on temp contracting job?
As you said if you go with contracing job where you will be running your payroll? Is it on your new owned company on your name? Or it has to be someone else name like spouse or friend?
Thanks,
Matt

Here are my thoughts about this so called Conversation:
the topic of discussion will be - how to get illegals a greencard in a quick/fair manner. Any discussion of legal non-immigrants and pains they have to go through in the current EB2/EB3/Visa stamp topics will be considered taboo.
It's sad but inevitable. Illegals are potentially in a better position to get greencard than legals like us.

Can one of you guys tell me what is the policy of the OK secretary of state on Drivers licenses for the various legal immigration statuses eg H1b, EAD with approved 140, F1 etc.?
I'm considering a move there and would appreciate your feedback.

Is it really possible to move back to H1 with a new company from EAD, in case 1> you have approved 140
2> you have not used the entire of 3 year extension that you received b'cos of approved 140,and started using EAD.
I am not sure we can do this.
I ran this past my attorney before I moved to EAD and he believed it was possible. He was not sure if the H1 approval will come with attached I-94 or if I would need to leave the US and return to activate teh H1. However what is certain is that the H1 approval will come through, as I would meet all the requirements. On what basis can they deny the H1?

Hi All,
Can some one advice whether I can qualify for EB-2 Category?
I am a Chartered Accountant from India with 10 years of Post Qualification Experience.
I am currently working on H1B since last 1 year and working as System Consltant for last 4 years.
I do not have any other master degree like M. Com / M.Sc etc.
Would I qualify for EB-2 Category ?
Regards
System Consultant role might be an EB2 role i.e.require a Masters degree, but it probably does not require Accounting (CA) qualifications.
So it would be tough to make a case for EB2.

I was under the impression you could apply for PR from and L1A, I am confused with your reply, why can we not apply for PR from an L1A? If the processing times are shorter then maybe it could be processed before our visa expiration.
Your can apply for PR while in L-1A status, however if the L-1A expires before you have reached the 3rd step, you need to leave the US. That's why it would have been better to change to H-1B, so that the nonimmigrant status could be extended while the PR process was pending. Even if he is EB-2, it will take at least a year, and much longer if you and your husband were born in or China, before you can file the 3rd step.
