I agree and appreciate whatever IV is doing to improve the situation of people who is on the immigration Path Employment or Family.
But yesterday I was watching the media, none of the media even just marginally said about our EB immigration. back log. what steps IV has taken so far to get the media attention? it is very said media equating immigration = Illegal.
Please work towards that too.

Name check is not an issue, the IO told me that name check is started soon after receipt of application, and 180 days have passed. There is a new rule that name check cannot delay I485 by more than 180 days.
WOM - the 2 years may have changed, since WOM cases were usually fighting name check. I think that it is probably one for an attorney, so I'll likely consult attorney in May regarding WOM.
Any more comments welcome.
e.g. raising via Congressman's office.
Receipt date vs notice date of last transfer -- which sets the processing date.
Even though it may not bring the result what you want, trying Congressman's office would at least serve the purpose of creating the record which may help you in turn while fighting WOM. So I would definately do that first. Now in theory "Receipt Date" should set the processing date but when you call USCIS they always talk about ND, somehow it seems that they can see only ND.. Yes, that is definately a grey area.

... but in order to raise the money for EB5, we would have to sell our business and that would put us in breach of our visa conditions.
stylepoet, I don't see where is a problem for E2/EB5 situation for countries with treaties. The problem is for countries who don't have treaties with the US, and their people don't have a chance for E2. But on this I understand the position of US government. Look. You are allowed to do you business here, on E2. If you do a serious business then your business should worth at least $1m. If it is, then you will qualify for EB5. Also, you don't need to sell your business nowhere. $1m can be a loan (even from a friend or relative), anything. As long as it's a real investment, and as long as it's a legitimate business. I think it's fair.
Also, I've read that CIS scrutinizes EB5 in great detail, since it's an easy path for all kinda bad people with money. But they approve if they are convinced that everything is legitimate.

Finally, I am current now, I spoke to IO today again ( Again means I call them every month, every week atleast once & So far I got Nice IO's)
She said your case is in current processing time, has not been yet assigned to any officer. checked all the status NC/SC/FP, everything is clear, just waiting for an officer to be assigned. call back after 15-20 days If I dont get any response.
I wanted to know that what impact does one have for calling IO's multiple times.
EB3, Oct'01
485- Jun 1st 07
No LUD's since Aug ( Address change)
Applied for 2nd AP & EAD last week.

Just think that you read a joke!
US Govt will try and squeeze every single penny whereever possible, especially, considering the high unemployment rates lingering around lately!
Infact Indian govt should learn how to milk money from the US corporates who operate in India. Probably they do now but unfortunately the benefits are not reaped by the common masses in india!

Hi Guys,
My previous employer has withheld my salary without any reaon..even though i gave app notice, abided with policies and had no bond or anything.
Please Sugest
Wait for 6 months since Receipt Date... And then complain to DOL... You don't want to lose your I-140...
Otherwise.. what are you waiting for :-)

My friend has this scenario and want expert advise from IV members.
- On L1 for 3 1/2 years and H1 for 2 years 3 months. About to complete 6
years in 3 months. - Filed Labor (approved. PD Aug 2004 EB3), I140 (applied in May 2007) and I485 (July fiasco)
- I140 still pending
Question:
1. Does L1 period is counted for H1 extention?
[I]H1 term of 6 years includes l1 time and excludes vacation periods
2. Can he do H1 transfer using AC21 without I140 approval?
Not sure what you are looking for. 1 year H1 extension is possible since labor PD is 2004. The extension also allows you to transfer / change employers[I]
As 6 years are going to be expired?
3. What if the old employer revokes his I140 now? His GC process is invalid?
premium processing for 140 is available in some cases - chk the faq on uscis website. If the 140 is withdrawn prior to approval then the PD cannot be ported. If it is revoked after approval then u can retain the PD for any new GC process. 3 year h1 extn is also possible
4. If we leave about GC, Can he do H1 transfer atleast?
Yes based on approved LC + h1 extension.
Note that gc is for a future job offer.

My H1B expired, and they are now just working on the labor certification process, so I have left the country and working outside the US. Someone did tell me that after I have been out for a 12 month period they may get me back under a new H1B. Is this correct? Reason I ask is that I have been out of the US for 4 months, and they seem to be working very slow on my Labor Cert, and I know once the this is submitted I have to wait a further 12 months, so wanted to see if it is viable to get a new H1B. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Yes if you live out of US for at least a year after the full H-1B term, you can apply for a new H-1B. If i were you, i'll keep the labor process going while applying for a new H-1 because GC is for future employment and if anything you can retain the priority date...

I changed jobs recently and retained my attorney from previous employer even though I had the option of using the current employer's attorney for free. The reason being
1. I had good relationship with my previous attorney.
2. I never know when my dates (EB-I 06/03) will be current and in case of a layoff or future job change, we need to update USCIS with the new attorney information which I thought will raise a few eyebrows and was not comfortable with this option.
3. Even though you change attorney and send the updated details to USCIS, chances are that they don't update the system and any RFE or information may still get sent to the original attorney that filed your I-485.
Note, that I am not suggesting you one way or the other, these are the reasons for making my decision, hopefully this will help you make an informed decision.
Thanks.

I have seen in this form that lot of people have filed I-485 by themselves after having a hard-time with lawyers. I am also thinking to do the same. But I want to make sure if it is possible in my case.
Assuming my I-140 get approved (its filed but not approved yet), what documents I need to file I-485 by myself as per following facts:
1. I have just receipt no. of Labor and I-140.
2. All the documents are with my attorney which is hired by my employer.
Can I still file I-485 by myself ?
Thanks

Part of the problem is the employers do not have a long term plan for their companies. They are always on look out for a fast buck. If employee satisfaction and client satisfaction are more, the company has better chance of growing. Typically when the client is satisfied, the company gets more projects and this way the set-up costs like relocation, travel expenses come down. Companies can not break the law just because they are not able to make a profit.

You are not suppossed to submit the i-94 which you received along with 797. Submit only the POE i-94.
It was told by Officer when i had a issue with the visa date not mentioned in the i-94 during re-entry.
