Hi,
I applied I-140 using substituted labor(13th July 2007, receipt no yet to come) on future employment basis ..
Since, USCIS has allowed filing for I-485, I wanted to file my I485, with my future employer but he is not ready to file I485 until I come to his payroll.
I need your valuable suggestions to make my decision, my questions are:
1. If I want to join on his payroll, I have to leave my existing company/Client, so that I485 can be filed ... Should I agree for this? what's your opinion???
2.How safe do you think, idea of leaving my current established long term client and finding new client through him , for filing i485 purpose ?
3. Also, I am not sure about how/when my labor substitution will be approved? And in worst case, if it gets rejected, where I am going to be( I completed 3.5 years on my H1 visa which means I have 2.5 years remaining in my 6 year)???
5.What are the benefits (and in what timeframe) I can expect if I decide to file I485 now ?
Many Thanks in Advance!!

dreeft, you could set it up as subcontracting work out though, all the work being funneled through one person and then subcontracted to other members of the "group"
Then it wouldn't be a business and hence would be a "group" of freelancers :P
I'd be interested if you could find some jobs Flash-Matic, do you have AIM or MSN?
Yes, that was what I was getting at. He'd still need to start the "business" up and then subcontract to other "businesses".. :D

I had this discussion with my lawyer. This lawywer has been touch with USCIS very closely and understand the process and how the system works (to the best possible for an outsider) and here is what has to say about LUD.
************************
Most I-485 will be adjudicated without any LUD at all. This is an because even today it is the physical file that is being delivered to an IO. IO will not touch the system if there had been no issue or no infomation to update.
If one is getting LUDs on any application, it most likely implies that some information is being updated. LUD most likely are for some reasons.
The process of adjudicating a 485 is multi step with many department involved. When the file reaches an IO for the decision , it is expected to be complete in every respect. If IO has any follow up question or any comments, she would then enter in the system that we se as LUD.
Thus, LUD in most cases ( and not all), if at all, is a potential indication of further delay..
I am not aware of any concrete reason for LUD on an approved I-140. My discussion with USCIS indicate that it may be due to updating of company specific information and not necessary related to individual case. Internally the the system recognize each company by a specific number.
Regarding your question LUD on AP, it should be unrelated to 485 as it is handled by a different department and lower level officials.

Only till May 2013. But then you can still renew for 3 more years provided your PD is not current in 2013. You can use the approved I-140 from your current company for renewal. Make sure to get a copy of I-140 approval, not the courtesy copy.
You have to start a new GC process soon after you join a new company. That way you can port your PD to the new case and be eligible for filing I-485.

NO. It shouldn't create an issue. The key is to "have the guarantee of a same or similar position available for you on permanent basis" at the time of RFE. How many jobs you changed before that is not of a concern.
But t is very important that you act quickly. When you deal with a big employer, the bureaucratic delays can kill weeks quickly, and you will find getting late for your RFE reply.
Contact the employer with "permanent offer" and let them know of the urgency, get in touch with their lawyer, and get the letter framed ASAP. You dont even have to start working with them before sending the letter.
The other option is to get the "employment verification" from your current consulting employer. The only advantage I see here is "probably" time.
Is it not risky to move when your RFE response is pending? I worked for just 2 employers for 9 yrs between 2000 -- 2009
then since March I have so far been with 2 employers and now 3rd PERM offer.. I am concerned if that can create issues..

The reason why they are not talking about EB is there is nothing to talk.
The solution is straight and simple. to recapture and has been discussed enough. I am positive that should CIR happen EB reform will happen too.

Hi.
Most of us who filed during jul/aug 2007 got our FPs done later that year.
Aren't those FPs valid for only 15 months or so?
So have folks started receiving their second FP notice yet?
Thanks.
va_dude
I was wondering the same thing. On other hand, I don't remember exactly where, read that as USCIS has updated their software, hence, FP's will not be required again. I may be wrong here, I myself, am interested to know if I need to follow up with USCIS after my jul-07 filing.

(b) How will I be able to keep my wife and son in a legal status, after the 2 month period
.....
Congratulations on your permanent resident status (aka green card holder).
1. Your spouse and child are NOT in H4 status anymore effective your I-485 approval date.
2. Since they have filed for I-485, they are in valid AOS Pending status.
3. They must use AP to re-enter USA

This is a good thing.
These consulting companies who were abusing the visa will be taught a lesson.
People used to complain a lot about desi companies and now when USCIS has finally become tough they are complaining about it.
You cannot have it both ways.
The same RFE is also being issued to companies like Accenture, Deloitte and IBM consulting as long as the keyword "technology services" appears in the petition. How about that? This is not 2nd or 3rd hand news, but the couple of guys and a girl sitting in the cubicles adjacent to mine who work for Deloitte got the same standard RFE. Heck, you can't call them "cheap" labor as most of them drive Beemers or Audis and one of them also has a Masters from Caltech (probably better qualified than you or me Mr. Teli or any of the USCs we have working at the company :rolleyes:)

Guys,
If one IV member moves from State A to B, what would be the process of transferring membership to state chapter?
Will it merely be a deleting datbase record from one state and adding it to another state? Or would it be again filling up survey to new state chapter..?
Thanks.
If you are moving to the Tri State Area - we will give you a red carpet welcome into our chapter :)

USCIS is fishing form I485 application pool, in approvable cases, 2006 cases are nearest and an easy catch.
the more readily reachable boxes are filled with later PDs with a few 2004-5 PDs. The older PD applications are in boxes in storage area. Sounds brutal to those with earlier PDs, but no other rational explanation is forthcoming. This will all work out OK, if they have an accurate estimate of both the pending cases and available GC numbers.
To top it all there is total disconnect between TSC and NSC.

I thought it was kind of inherent in a programming competition. If he would allow external libraries, the contests could become jigsaw puzzle contests where the person who could find the best open source libraries, and piece them together properly could beat someone who made something completely from scratch.
I appreciate where you're coming from.
When I interpreted the rules/intent of the competition I didn't see anything wrong with using Box2D.
I think I made something awesome no matter what happens. I'm happy with the final product and everything I've learned making it. I'd just hate to see it disqualified because someone assumed I'd know not to use external libraries or external audio.
ps: can you post your code? and btw... i like what you did with your swarming code :)
You can grab the earlier version of the Swarming code from my blog here:
http://blog.organa.ca/?p=34
I share the code for most of my projects so feel free to browse around.
In order to share the current version I'd have to do a lot of cleaning up... for example I wrote 5 different ways of handling broad level hit detection. At this point I would have to rewrite it to make it sharable.

Got this from the Chennai US consulate website.
I apologise if this info is old - i had never heard of the US consulate issueing "B1 in lieu of H1" visa.
B-1 in Lieu of H
Any person holding a B1 or B1/B2 visa may be eligible to perform H-1B work in the United States as long as they fulfill the following criteria:
Hold the equivalent of a U.S. bachelor�s degree
Plan to perform H-1B-caliber work or training
Will be paid only by their foreign employer, except reimbursement of incidental travel costs such as housing and per diem. The employee must not receive any salary from a U.S. source.
The task can be accomplished in a short period of time.
These travelers would be admitted as B1 visitors, and may only stay in the U.S. for the time allotted by the Department of Homeland Security upon entry.
Like any other B1/B2 applicant, travelers must still show strong professional, familial and financial or other ties, which indicate a strong inducement to return to the country of origin or another country other than the United States.
Consulate General Chennai is prepared to issue B1/B2 visas to qualified applicants for this purpose. These visas may also be used for tourism. Current holders of B1/B2 visas may already use this provision without seeking another visa.
When seeking a visa for this purpose, please clearly explain this in the applicant�s BEP cover letter.
If the applicant and employer so chooses, they may also apply for a more limited B1 visa with the annotation �B-1 in lieu of H.� These visas may not be used for pleasure travel.
The Customs and Border Patrol agents at Ports of Entry are aware of this provision. If asked at the border, applicants are advised to explain completely their purpose of travel and that they will not be paid from sources based in the United States. Travelers are encouraged to carry a letter from their host company and Indian employer listing the traveler�s duties, length of stay and remuneration plans.

Here is an idea: say we have roughly 500 members out of this vast array of 35000+ members who have the heart and the will to contribute. we get $2000 from each and place it in an escrow trust account that does not release money for expenditure unless we reach $1 mln
We need to identify number of people who can really make a big chunk of one time contribution (like $500,$1000,$2000), and we should aim at scoring atleast 2000 committed members, so that per person share would be $500. Once we have the pledge from committed members; IV shall announce the fund raising day (instead of fund raising thread) in advance, all committed members will contribute the same day (optimistic).
