Please keep this thread handy... For my wife, we went through hell due to super coordination between, immigration & social security office.

Hi Goel_Ar, thanks for the response. Assuming there is indeed very good co-ordination between USCIS and SSN office, how long does it *normally* take to get the card?
Any ideas, anyone?

Chanduv23,
I am sure your words of encouragement were well taken by everyone.
You did well, encouragement is encouragement....
"Even though eagles have best flying skills...still they need a push"
best
Definitely - thanks.
We must get a big crowd and from what I understood while interacting with the community is that many just forgeet where they have come from, thee freedomm they get here have made them forget the facts that there are times when we must all stand up and support each other.
I do not have any ill feelings about anyone - but my attempt was just to push those who are sitting on the fence and just taking things for granted.
Remember - if you don't care for your farmers - after a while - you won't have food.
Life is not all about being lethargic and not caring for things that matter
When things go bad it is we who have to correct them - we must make sure they never happen to our children
Our sole aim in life is to strive towards a better world for our children and not a sinful world - we cannot afford to make this world a graveyard for our children.
Aman Kapoor has given all of us this wonderful platform to stand up for oursleves. Just imagine what would haappen to the community when July 2nd happened and IV was not there? Everyone would be cribbing and talking about lawsuits and the sotry will go on
Peace and unity have helped in the past to bring about meaningful changes and will always continue to be so.
All we have to do is to unite and stand up for oursleves.
So, lets all go to DC and support IV for taking up this wonderful task
Remember - no where in the modern day world do we see such grass roots efforts trying to fix the ourdated Law of Land off the World's most powerful and greatest nation.

At least, the article shows the TWO side's stories from the people who against us and the people who favor us.
And more important is finally someone is focusing on EB problem.
Did you think it was for us then?

could you be more specific..
If the Labor mentioned as a job location in NY...after we get the EAD..we cant move to Florida and work there..?
You are ok, if are on EAD and in AOS pending status.
I was referring to current job location BEFORE filing for I-485 application. A person can be out of H1 status if he/she is working on a location that is different from mentioned in the H1 LCA. This is something not many people are aware of.

What does AC-21 have to do with verifying out of status? Can you give more details on how AC-21 affected his I-485?
Thanks
Every employment based I-485 applicant has to show (read: prove) that he/she is maintaining valid non-immigrant status prior to filing of I-485 application since last entry into USA. The out of status days must be less than 180 days.
For valid H1 status, the LCA location dictates the job location. The job location must be 50 miles (I need to check on this) with in LCA location.
In this case, a person was working in area B but his LC (for green card) was area A. He claimed AC-21 (AC-21 allows person to work on different location for future GC job). His I-485 denied and he filed appeal.
In appeal it was found out that he is eligible for AC-21. However it was also found that at the filing of I-485 he was working in area B whereas his H1B LCA indicated area A, so he was out of H1 status (for more than 180 days) at the time of I-485 application. So his I-485 application was denied.

YES. You can. I know atleast 2 of my colleagues doing this. They got 3-year extension with new employer even when more than 6 months are left in the initial 6 years of H1. This won't be an issue.
What if 6 months are left before my 6 years of H1B expires? Can I still get 3 years extension based on approved I-140 from another company?

As the health care debate draws more hate against �illegal immigrant coverage�, the Democratic Senator charged with introducing immigration reform legislation is making more excuses instead of moving forward.
Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., has decided to delay introducing legislation to overhaul the nation�s immigration laws in hopes of bringing more senators on board and crafting a bipartisan bill, his spokesman said Tuesday��We are pleased with the framework we have put together so far and the broad-based support it has gotten from a diverse group of those interested in this issue,� [Brian] Fallon said. �The fact that health care is taking longer than expected gives us additional time to now shop our ideas to a number of Republicans to see what they think and what changes they suggest.�

Thanks so much for your quick response. Yes, I am planning to start EB2 from scratch since there is no relief in EB3. So, I will have to convince the company to bear the cost :(

If any IV member works in the university, could you find out if there are any Indian and chineese assistant professors that have joined in the recent past. Such people might have applied in EB2 through university and will be retrogressed.
Also pls get in touch with post-docs in your universities and inform them about IV. Hopefully some of them might be willing to help us with the interview.
sent you a PM

Can I fill AP directly instead of going thru the lawyer?
Thanks
yes! Include the copy of your 485 receipt inthe appplication.
EAD and AP are simple enough that you can apply/renew on your own without paying a lawyer.

Are you just trying to get people to click somewhere so that it generates ads revenue for you. The links you provided only open up windows that shows ads. I think you are a thug because don't have correct profile here, at the same time you are using some other webiste to track your GC to generate revenue for someone else, and now you are trying to lure people to visit that site. I think your are phony because your ways are suspicious. I will not do what you are saying.
.
I have already mentioned that I don't have correct dates in my profile and I will update it. I tried to post the attachment here but it was not letting me do that so I had to upload it on a free hosting site. For your information, I made post here for the good of IV people. How come I "generate revenue" from something that I don't even own, sir?

Sorry Pappu...I agree to what u said. I should and would behave....:)
To the guy who who told me to edit post. there are tons of other posts with irrelevant stuff. i didnt see u jumping on them.
I am trying to be as close to relevant as I can be. As i said, a past legislation doesn't mean future legislation would be same BUT it definitively give us a lesson what we should strive to prevent....
and whatever the 2006 and 2007 legislation were - they were. I didn't made them up myself. So, I cant edit them...lol...

Hello,
I got my EAD through my primary Employer. I am currently working on EAD but with a different Employer (NY State Agency) who doesn�t encourage GC processing, so did not file my AC21 and been working for over a year now. I still have good rapport with my primary Employer. Now I am scheduled to go to INDIA for few weeks, my question is " whom should I say is my Employer " if the immigration officer asks me at the port of entry (JFK). Please advise as I will be carrying my current pay stubs.
Thank you
While I do not have first hand experience. I do not believe the IO will care about your employment status or employer given that you have an AP don't recall anyone here saying that they were asked about the employer when using AP to enter.

I assume that since you are currently in EB3, your current job description is different from the job description for which your company (if they agree) will initiate the EB2 PERM process for. Also, the EB2 PERM process will be for "future employment" for the different job position than the one you currently hold (I am assuming this, in the absence of any other data), so they might not need to let you go, if they get any responses.
If they get any responses to the EB2 advertisement, they will have to consider those applicants and provide them the same opportunity and diligence that they would to anyone applying for that position. If they do not find any of the applicants suitable for the position, they must have very strong and valid reasons why they cannot hire any of the respondents. Only in case they are unable to hire anyone of the respondents, can they even continue with the labor certification filing.
Also, many employers are fairly certain that they will get many responses to job advertisements and hence they do not want to go through the process for hiring a lawyer etc. etc. etc. and initiating the labor certification process for GC, when they can directly hire someone from the market.
Porting from EB3-EB2 seems to be riddled with obstacles.... not as easy as some suggest.... thank you for your response. A lot to think

free "EAD and AP" for life what are you talking about??
People who filed I-485 after the July fiasco (starting with the August 2007 bulletin) paid a higher initial fee ($1010) - but they don't have to pay any EAD & AP fee - either the first time or for any renewals.
Look at the "Special instructions" sections of the following URL:
http://www.uscis.gov/i-485
