My PD is Nov 2004, I got 140 approved. Im not filing 485 now as im unmarried.
Any ideas when can be the date current again(for my PD atleast)?
EB2 or EB3? If EB2 then based on data someone posted here earlier, there is a good chance of you becoming current in the next 12-18 months.

Friends,
I am working for company A and I have offer from Company B, I thinking of my options, Here is my situation
1. I have approved I140 > 180 days in actually 300 days
2. I have approved EAD
3. mine is labor transfer case and I used an existing labor that matched my job profile
4. Company B is ready to hire me in the same/similar role and are ready to give AC21 employment letter with same details as in my labor.
5. I have approved copy of my labor that was transferred and all other copies related to my case like I140, I485 application and Advance parole etc,....
Please give me some guidance on if I should be accepting the offer from Company B, I am concerned because my labor was transferred from another employee. I have worked for company A for nearly 4 years now and my GC is in process for almost 4 years, labor switch was done like 2 years ago.
Based on this explanation do you see any risk and am I missing anything here, in terms of getting specific documentation from company A application..
please help
bumping it up... - please provide your input

Why should we fight about every issue that is posted? Cant we debate it like mature people? This tendency to fight (and get emotional) over irrelevant issues will not help us any better.
Most of us in this immigration thread are academically oriented. And I believe that this can be attributed to the way in which we were molded in our early life. Most of our parents would stress academic excellence over athletic and artistic abilities. They made all our choices all the way to college and maybe beyond. They would always trump every argument with the statement, "We know what is best for you."
That said, I think the comparison between western and eastern parenting in US is not completely fair. The section of Indians & Chinese immigrants in US are educated and were probably at the top of their classes in their respective countries. They excelled academically and it helped them (us) immigrate and be part of the successful strata of this country. We cannot compare these immigrants with the Western population as a whole. We should compare eastern and western parenting techniques among parents with similar backgrounds.
Successful American families produce successful kids. This is also true for families of all races. Each set of parents have their own method.
Getting greencard is not everything. We have lives beyond the greencard. We have (or will have) kids and have a responsibility towards raising them to give them the best possible skills (academic, artistic & social) to thrive in their lives. And a mature discussion in parenting methods is useful.
I urge everyone of you to make your arguments and highlight relative merits & de-merits. You may also argue whether this discussion has merit or not. But no name calling.

i totally agree, we should always listen to people with different opinions which makes us more rational, i also agree with your point that we should not compare NRIs with general population here, parenting in every culture has its pros and cons, we should look at each of it and take out good,

Thanks for the response, folks.
It will be interesting to hear from people who have or are required to sing certain contracts with their employers.
I am assuming the employers logic can be that - "well we were the ones who really paid for your labor cert" and that may be true as far as DOL is concerned. But my logic is if I reimburse you that money a year or two down the line, doesn't that mean that eventually I had to pay for my labor cert :)
I am also interested to know what kind of contracts the employers are having people sign - reimburse us if you leave within a certain time frame (2 or 3 years from when your GC process was initiated by the company) or are the contracts more like - reimburse us full amount no matter when you leave during pending GC process.

I worked for an employer in WY 2004 as a physician and since then i resigned and moved onto another job with a new labor and I-140. However last year at the time of July isa bulletin fiasco, I asked my employer from WY in 2004 to file for an I-140 based on the previous approved labor condition in 2004 to retain that priority date under EB -2.
Employer knows I have no intent of joining them after the green card and I have my own practice , so i donot intend to join the practice.
In this scenario, if this considered a misuse of retaining priority date and how do i prove the intent and will the USCIS allow a situation like this?
i think you need to have intent to work for the employer when filing 140... without intent, it is likely that this will be considered fraud. but all this comes up only if you are called for interview or if there are detailed rfe(s)... then, when you go for citizenship, this could come up again... but like someone else said, you are better off with a lawyer's opinion...

Didn't you know for sure that you were going to stay with employer before asking them to apply GC.
It may be illegal by Law by asking you to give the money back, but where would you put your action of wasting somebody's money?
Not sure the contracting terms between you and your employer, but surely he was not the one forcing you to join the company, its you joined.
If he was ready to help you to get GC, ready to invest atleast 9K on the process, why would you think his money is there just for you to play.
Of course, you have valid points by law, you may escape from the latch now, but make sure this is not an repeating event.
Calm down buddy, no need to get excited!
FYI. I have been with the employer for ever. It's just that they are now revisiting/revising their GC policy, and I am trying to make sure that the policy makes sense for both the employer and any future employees. And who knows I may have to agree to this policy in future if I decide to redo my GC application :)

For more than a decade of congressional majority and 6 years of white house, everyone has been accusing Republicans of being close to big business.
Isnt the big business supposed to remove roadblocks like Sensenbrenner?
Where is the evil greedy Big Business when you really need them? Or are they interested in Status Quo too?
Has anyone seen the movie "Fight club"? Do you really want to mess with people who cook your meals, who do your dishes, clean your restrooms, mop your floors, park your cars, pack your meat, build your houses? (Ok, I am kidding) But just because these guys work at near minimum wage levels does not mean they are not important. Who is going to pick lettuce and tomatoes from farmland? Kind of people like the cast of "OC" isnt going to do it. The cast of "Friends"? I dont think Rachel and Ross would pick potatoes.
So what does Sensenbrenner suggest - "Illegal immigrants drive down wages and get exploited. Now that we are done exploiting them, can we send them back?".

In fiscal year 2006, there were 5 Indian firms in the top 10 users of H1B visa.
http://www.networkworld.com/community/?q=node/15273
However, when it comes to PERM filing there is only 1 Indian company in the top 10 list of PERM filers. That is very interesting. Does it mean that Indian companies do not encourage or support GC process as much as the American companies do? I sure hope that's not the case and employees of those Indian companies are getting a fare shot at the Greencard.
Indian companies like wipro, infosys discourage GC processes.

One of my friends AOS got rejected just because his attorney rescheduled his interview. Somehow, USCIS local office did not acknowledge his request for interview reschedule and they sent a rejection letter saying that, he did not appear for the interview so they are rejecting his application. So the bottomline is 1) Try your best to not to reschedule it 2) If you have to, make sure that USCIS acknowledges your application to reschedule it.

I dont think people who are affected by retrogression are living life with some principles. If they are in this situation, itis because of their own decisions. Again as redcard said, coming here on F1 is for study and not for GC. Coming here in H1B is for work and not soley for GC. May be the individual knows in advance there is possibility of getting one.
Doing MS or PhD, you could very well do in your home country. Why did you choose US on first place. I have seen people who are unable to get H1b, getting F1 and coming to US. By the way I am not blaming all F1's here. . By doing MS or PhD, your original intention of coming to US is well achieved. Then if you decide to go into H1, then you join the people who are here in H1 irrespective of their degrees. Intention of H1 is to work and sometimes even to apply for GC. So cribbing too much on having a MS is not good.
I bet there will be a huge number of people if given an opportunity to get pre-approved labor, they will get it somehow. You and I did not come across one.
Stop crying.. no one forced you to come here to study.. you came by choice like the other people who came here to work on H1... you decided to stay here for working, again no one forced you ... you decided to apply for GC again no one forced you... you decided to join a good company who would not substitute a labor .. again no once forced you... you had options like all the other people who came here on BS or whatever degree.. maybe you made the wrong move when it came to GC and the other people made a smarter move.. so don't cry on that.. if you wish to cry .. cry for the labor substitution rule.. it will help

Hi Folks,
My fiancee is a MS student and currently has student loan in India being charged at 13.5%. I am wondering if there is any loan that i can get here with a lower interest rate to repay off the one in india.
I would appreciate any pointers or suggestions here.
If your fiancee is still in the school, you can probably apply for Alternate/Private Student Loan. These loans are offered by most of the banks based on the credit score and don't have crazy transaction fees and APRs as credit card and other balance transfer offers. The interest rate is variable and typically tied with the prime and repayment period is around 15-20 years. AGain it depends on what you choose. The good part is that the repayment does not start until your fiancee graduates and the interest you pay on the loan is tax deductible. No need to itemize while you file taxes.
Search for "Alternate/Private Student Loan" and that should give you enough information.
