stucklabor,
Thanks for your post. It's good to hear the perspective of a core member of IV like yourself. I understand your point of view but respectfully disagree with your definition of the greatest good. The greatest good will not be achieved by just passing the labor cert. stage. The greatest good is achieved once we have the GC card. Your effort on retrogression to benefit 250k & 200k is plausible. But you help them to pass one bridge, to just get stuck on the next. If there are 25k people stuck in name check at this time, imagine what will happen when the estimated 200k-250k reach that stage.
If the 25k spent in average 3 years in the name check, what will be the wait time for that massive population that are headed that way after retrog & labor cert? The EB process is a big picture and the greatest number will not get the greatest good until all these obstacle are resolved all the way to the end.

What if you have to leave the job before 180 days, about after 150 days? When I say you have to that means there is no alternative. Employer-Employee issues. Quite a few folks here might be aware of it. But anyway, I read that USCIS will consider 180 days based on the I-485 'Received Date' and I-140 'Revoked date' will be the date USCIS act on the letter they receive from Employer requesting to revoke I-140 not the date employer will send letter to USCIS. I'm aware that there is no specific guidelines of which date USCIS will consider as 'Revoked date', but I heard USCIS mentioned verbally in many conference that they consider I-140 'Revoked date' as when USCIS act on the letter they receive from employer. Any thoughts?

Being a projct manager, If you cannot influence people to get letter that satisfy the uscis, I will not recommand you for PM.
FYI, my lc is related to testing. but I am not in testing. so If I need a letter, I will ask them whaterver they want to write + testing. probalby you can do the same.

*) Have an emergency cash fund that would last atleast 6 months without changing your lifestyle. If you lose job, a bit frugal living could stretch that 6month fund to 9 or 10 months. (this could be cash; or assets that would not lose their value and could be cashed at a short notice.)
Do not leave this entire fund in a checking/savings account; nor put it under your mattress.
Have some cash at hand ($1K or $2K); - this is to avoid ATM issues, run on the bank etc.
Put some of it in a 3 month CD;
Put some of it as precious metals (gold etc) - this will protect you against the dollar losing its value, yet the metal is easily saleable.
Put some of it in a money market account that yields a little better than the savings account, yet immediate cash availability.
Distribute your savings between atleast a couple of banks. (If a bank goes under, I do not know how long it takes to get access to your cash which is FDIC insured upto $100K (250K under the bailout plan)).
*) Credit is really tight right now. So... if you have any good offers of pre-approved credit, take it. Keep it aside.
*) Do not worry about your home losing its value. Enjoy the house; hopefully it will appreaciate back to your purchase price in a couple of years.
*) Pay the minimum home payments.
*) Atleast put enough in your 401K to get the employer match. That is free money you do not want to forego. Most likely, you will still be ahead if you have to cash out your 401K. (i.e. penalty + tax of an early withdrawal would most likely be less than the employer matched funds)
*) Enjoy time with family. Keep an eye for opportunities. Keep updating your skillset.

All our members in the state chapters are verified and by posting information on state chapters we are ensuring that sensitive information is being passed only to trusted and verified members. There are lot of members in several state chapters that are very active but they are not as active on the IV boards. it is only fair to pass info. first to people who work hard on every action item on a consistent basis. State Chapters have Gate Keepers and we do not add anyone without verifying but remember the Gate Keepers work full time, travel for business and have families so it takes anywhere between 1 to 5 days before a member gets his request accepted. We do not have the luxury of having a dedicated Gate Keepers to our state chapters 24 x 7. I add members to so.cal chapter only after verfying them. I have the time currently to send an email and ask people for info. if they did not provide info. that is mandatory but I might not have the time to do that in the future. I might not be responding to people who do not provide mandatory info. I only have 24 hours in my day just like everyone else. Hope this helps
Team,
What are we getting by getting this update on sate chapter vs. here. If someone wants the link they can get from our signature. Have the state chapter gatekeepers declined anyone? If not then we are really not protecting any information and spliting our audience.
Any comments?

Hi,
I am in the same boat. My EB-2 PERM came for audit on November 28th. We are still waiting to reply by the deadline which is December 19th. I got the same request from DOL(business necessity letter + recruitment efforts). I can only say this, The DOL audit's increased since October 2007 after closing all backlog elimination centers. Almost 50% of cases filed came back for audit. Audit is nothing but just request for documentation. So if you reply for the audit, you can expect a reply within 60 days. I am on my 19th month on H1B.

Such a loss of talent and skill should be pointed out publicly by the employers and research institutions, rather than us. They primarily will stand to gain more, then this great country and last we mortals. What do you say?
Employers are not going to have a holistic view: all they would know is what is happening with their workforce. It is upto us to gather the big picture and impress upon Congress the widespread nature of the problem. From the prespective of an individual employer, a turnover of a few people every year (because of backlogs) does not seem too bad. But if a significant fraction of employers are facing the same situation then the problem is much more serious.

All,
My employer revoked the i140 of a person after 180 days. He did not reveal this information to me and used labor substitution for me.
The other person used AC21 and got his 485 approved. INS has denied my I140 since a 485 has already been approved and there can be only one GC on one labor. INS says that once the 485 is approved that job ceases to exist.
My company is saying that they have done this in the past and got approvals. They are saying that they applied the I140 substitution long before the 485 approval of the other person.
Now they are saying that they will appeal that the other guy never had the intention of working for the comapany.
Is there any chance for the I140 approval and using the existing labor ? If not will the INS help me keep the Priority Date.
Does anyone have knowledge of such cases (or) know the results of such appeals.
Thanks !

It seems like except for one or two people here, individuals who have applied directly at TSC on 2nd July are getting their checks cashed/receipts this week.
It would be helpful to know if they are done with the transfer of 2nd July cases from NSC to TSC; if so, when and based on that, we can make some educated estimates.

Hello :
My EAD is valid till August 10, 2010. This is my second EAD. 1st filed with I-485 in 2007 and second renewed in 2008.
First Renewal Attempt :
I therefore sent my papers to my employer in early April 2010 (120 days in advance). My employer to 10 days to file with USCIS (Snail Mail - Phoenix Lockbox). Then USCIS took another 30 days to look at my papers. They rejected it. Reason :
The check amount is incorrect, or has not been provided. Please review the Form Instructions for fee information. Please resubmit the application/petition package with the appropriate fees to the USCIS address listed on the bottom of this notice.
The eligibility code you provide on your I-765 requires proof that an I-485 has been submitted. Please resubmit your Form I-765 with a copy of your Form I-485 receipt notice (I-797).
Turns out my employer did provide checks were provided in the correct amount but the name on the check was incorrect "USCIS Vermont Office"...Go figure.
Further, I had never received my I-485 receipt notice in mail (filed when the flood gates opened in July/August 2007). I had however received my ASC FP notice and had used it in my previous EAD renewal in 2008. I had sent in a copy of this with my paperwork. That did not seem to have worked. So I called USCIS NSC and they informed me that I need to attach a cover letter with my application explaining that I did not receive the I-797 for the I-485.
Second Renewal Attempt :
So this time, I filed my application to the Phoenix Lockbox myself via snail mail (never efiled so thought why take a chance). I sent my own checks payable to "US Department Of Homeland Security" as mentioned in the I-765 instructions. I also included a cover letter about my missing I-485 receipt notice and sent in the I-485 ASC FP notice copy along with a printout of the pending I-485 from USCIS website.
This new app reached USCIS on June 1, 2010.
It got rejected again and reached me yesterday on June 19, 2010. Reasons...Exactly the same as before.
Needless to say, I was confused, frustrated, angry, sad...and everything in between.
Starting Third Attempt :
Given that only 50 days are left for my current EAD to expire. I e-Filed again yesterday (June 20 2010) hoping that by doing so, I will bypass the Phoenix Lockbox and will avoid the reason for rejection regarding the check.
I will be mailing my supporting documents tomorrow. They will reach USCIS on June 22 2010. The only thing/s addtional that I am sending in now are...
a) The top tear-off from the original EAD mailer (had forgotten to send it in last two times as I thought it was not necessary)
b) A request for correction on the eFiled EAD as I mentioned "Country Of Citizenship" as "USA" instead of "India" (Thanks to my frustrated mood and the poor usability of the I-765 online form).
Request advice...
I know that I will have to stop working on August 11 2010 and I can't earn for as long as I don't have a valid EAD in my hand. I also know that it does not affect my Green Card I-485 app as long as I don't work without and EAD.
So what should I do from here on? Should I wait...I still have 50 days to hope to get my renewed EAD in. Should I call USCIS and request expedited processing of my case...but I haven't even received my receipt notices yet. Should I book and INFOPASS appt...but INFOPASS appointments for I-765 are only issued if it has been more than 90 days since the application was filed?
I will really appreciate any comments/suggestion regarding my case.
Dear cyclone_p

1) You do not need one, unless you have no clue about any immigration system or have excess of 1000$
2) around 1000$ + appl fess + med exam fees
3) cic.gc.ca is a good place to start with keeping consultants aside.
There are threads that discussed this extensively before. Check them out.
