$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")


This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.

As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.

Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative

As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.

The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.

http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html

Then please send an email to ivcoordinator@gmail.com (starsun) with subject - "I485 filing without current PD - Impacted Member". Include your a) IV username b) Email address c) Phone #, d) State of Residence e) Priority Date - so that grassroot efforts can be coordinated

2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.

I485 Filing Initiative Flier (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/images/a/a8/Flier_I485_latest2.pdf)

3) Volunteers have created a facebook community and an Immigration Voice WIKI page to spread the message about this initiative. Please circulate these links among your friends/co-workers who will be helped.

Please "Share" and "Link" and "send to friend" the facebook community via your Facebook account. Also include these two links when you post on the IV forum.

Hi
With the current market crisis, you never know when you will be out of job.
Though I have my H1B valid till 2011( my I140 is approved and is already over more than six months, 485 is pending), Most of the people suggesting me to apply for EAD.

1) What are the procedures I have to maintain ( in connection to USCIS and my green card application pending) if I change employer?

2)Can I also work for multiple employers on EAD?


Thanks in advance.

Is there only one member in the IL chapter? I am sure we have several IV members from this state and nobody has responded. It is sad to see such response from members. IN order to get anything done, we all have to pitch in and help out.

My PERM was filed during July 2008 and got audited. I've got my H1B 7th year extension up to Dec 2010 (including recapture time). Now what will happen if my PERM is denied say on March 2010?
Should I leave the country immediately on March 2010 or Can I stay in US till H1B validity i.e. Dec 2010?

Any inputs would be appreciated.

Friends,

I came to USA on H1B on Feb-07. I was working all the time except 6 months. I have pay slips with me and W2 forms. Now I am working on the project but it will be over on 15th of April-09.

I will complete my 3 years. But after this project is over, I don't know I can find the job again.

My question is,is it right time to do the visa transfer? Does it requires very recent pay stub of 3 months? I do not have pay stub for Jan and Feb-09.Does it matters?

What will be my best choice to transfer the visa(but don't know will have job after 15th so does it matters for transfer like client letter) or wait until May-June and file the 3 year extension ? But again that time I will have pay slips until April only.

I am really confused. Please give me your suggestions

It is illegal for you to pay your employer any money for your pay stub. Get a new job pronto.

I got my H1-B visa on June 29, 2005 , I came to india on Jan 2009 . From Jan 2009 till now I have been staying in India , bcoz I was taking care of my new born daughter, now she is grown up and now I am planning to start working in US. Right now I got my H4 visa .

I came to know from someone that H1-B filing for this year was over in Jan 2011, so if I need to file a new H1-b , I have to file now and I will be eligible to work after Oct 1 this year. Is it true ? Is it not possible that a company files for a new H1-B under premium processing and I start working after 2 weeks of filing ? I don't want to wait that long(Oct 1) to work , I have few oppurinities coming up where I may get selected.

I have stayed in india from Jan 2009 till APril 2011. Now I am on H4 visa in US. Can I get a extension of my previous H1-B visa filed on June 2005?
I want to work ASAP.

Hi Unitednations,

Good to see you in Immigration voice. I use to follow your posts when you were back in ImmigrationPortal. I have a request for you here.

Please provide a ready reckoner on AC21. Like the basics. This would help lot of people trying to switch employers including me. I know there were memos written by Yates and other lawyers. Your real experience on this matter always counts and helps people.

Looking forward to your reply.

Thanks & Regards
Raj

All,

IV needs money for rally.

Lets pledge to contrbute right after you get recpits.
We all are skilled immigrations with high billing rates per hour.
Think about how many hours you have spent tracking receipts,
Lets not waste any more time in tracking, instead contribute a few hours to work and contribute some of that money worth to IV.

Lets change one fruitless habbit to fruitful one.

Please contribute.

Folks,

My GC was applied with employer A in Nov-2005. 485 applied during July 2007 fiasco. Even though I have EAD/AP, I have always maintained H1B status.

Recently got H1B transferred to employer B and its approved for 3 years.
My H1B visa (from employer B) will expire this month.

Can I make a trip to India and re-enter using AP, and still maintain H1B status?

I dont want to go through the hassle of going for H1B visa stamping for 10th to 12th year.

Thanks in Advance.

Company A applied for labor(EB2) in Dec2006. It was approved.
My I140 was filed in March 2007 and approved on Jan 10 2008.
I did not file for I485 in July 2007.

I had changed companies in April 2007.Presenly I am on Company B payroll.

Now, If I move back to Company A, would I be able to apply for my I485 when the date opens.
The online status for I140 says, Approved.
I am in good terms with both the employers.

If I move to company A; at the time of applying I485, do I need to have paystubs from Company A?

Please help. Thanks

I am on my 8th year of H1(on the 3 year extension). Recently I travelled to India and came back on the Advanced Parole. I am continuing to work on the H1 extension for the same employer inspite of being admitted on "Parolee" or "AOS" status as per my Attorney and several others who quote an INS memo called the Cronin memo.

My question is:
Now if I want to join another company, can I get a new H1B I94 stamp from the H1 transfer without leaving the US ?

Can someone please shed any light on this, anyone with experience of such a conversion from Parolee to H1.

It's true that Obama is focusing on the economy now, but if we do a massive flower campaign now it will get us press and attention and "loosen" things up, then we can go for a second even bigger flower campaign in the spring and in the summer when the previous flower campaign will still be alive in the public's memory. That way people will say "wait, legals? that's different than illegals, and it sounds serious"

We need to get ourselves noticed! The illegals had Obama on the Hispanic radio show with "Piolin Sotelo" last week. Why aren't we doing anything? We are not cowards, are we? The illegals can but we legals can't?

Let's not stop with the flowers until we're heard. We send this week, then in a couple of months and so forth until they fix the injustice we're in

I'll send the first bouquet of flowers to USCIS or DOL or the WHite House if I can get 10 volunteers to send with me. Who's with me? Let's send them this week. Who's in?

Can I count part time experience obtained before my Bachelors degree for an EB2 petition?

I have 2.5 years of part time experience, can we use this and apply with MBA+1 requirements?

Thanks

Fancy meeting you here, dohko! The experience at half time can be counted to be 1/2 time itself - i.e. 2 years under 20 hrs./week = 1 yr. full time.
Your experience however has to be obtained AFTER your Bachelor's degree.

This is a detail from the June USCIS Ombudsman report I hadn't noticed before, but a BusinessWeek report this week highlights that fact. We immigration lawyers have sensed that this was the case, of course. We regularly warn clients now to simply expect them even if the case is air tight. Businessweek reports The U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Service says no crackdown is afoot. 'We haven't changed the way that we do our business over the course of the past few years,' says agency spokesman Christopher Bentley. Of course, the statistics show otherwise. One very senior former USCIS confided in...
