coz...
Many people have started moving from EB3 to EB2 and retaining their priority date.
Many people have started filing in EB2 now as they know the result will be known within 2 to 3 months as PERM is faster.
So the no of cases in EB2 have increased in an alarmin scale after 05.
but still i would choose EB2 instead of EB3 coz the amount of retrogression in EB3 is more compared to EB2
All the best. Hope ur decision really pays off....:)

OLDMONK,
My wife's situation is the same too. Our EAD application reached on July 3rd, we both have EAD receipts but only my status is "card production ordered", whereas hers is still "received and pending". Did you both get EAD cards already?
Coming back to the point, my attorney is one of the very best attorneys in the DC area and the paralegal I spoke with said EAD has nothing to do with visa status, and my wife HAS to maintain either H-1b or H4 status. Additionally, since COS has been issued (your wife also?) my wife will be on H1 automatically come October, and H4 reinstatement is a must. If she doesn't show up to work from Oct 1, she will be out of status, unless H4 is reinstated.
My attorney is charging $500 as processing fee and USCIS fee is $300. I personally know people who have filed this on their own, so I'm thinking if reinstatement is a must, then we will file the application ourselves. How much does your attorney charge?
GULUT,
FYI, my wife wants to stay on H4 not because she doesn't want to work, its that she doesn't want to work on H1 since her EAD is on its way. Also, she probably has more education and experience than you do! So stop whining and get on with your life. This "H4 spouses are wasting H1 quota" bitching is getting old ...
Same situation here. As per my lawyer (good lawyer can be trusted but could be ill informed) If my wife doesn't join the employer there is no status change. No need to file any reinstatement from H4 to H1. And I have reconfirmed this a couple of times now.
If you hear anything different from a legit source please do let me know.
Other relevant details in my case is that my wife's ead/ap application was filed on 2nd July. and She is under Adjustment of Status (485) as a derivative. On a second thought, I am not sure if this is the same case as yours.

8 months is too much...On one hand, we can not apply for H1 renewal before 6 months of expiration and on the other hand they take more than 6 months to process? Do they purposely want to create more complications here? What a bunch of baboons!!!
Anyways, is there a way we can convert our regular application to premium processing once it's already filed. I've filed for my extension in Oct 07 and till today no updates...USCIS is making me sick!!!!

Kaisersose thank you for your reply. Is their a time limit for how long I have to work for the GC filling employer? what worries me is if they fire me in lets say 1 month after hire during their probation period am I safe? Even though i was working part time some where else.
As you have a GC, you can work for any employer in the range {A, B, C...Z}, work for 2 or more of them simultaneously and handle any kind of job. There is no law that will create a problem out of this during naturalization.
Of course, one can do this with a 485 EAD too, but there is the one restriction of "same or similar".

@gcformeornot - Thanks for the reply. Its my current employer who has applied for H1 as my L1 is maxing out, so, I am not in a total rush to change employers.
@surabhi - Thanks for the detailed reply, much appreciated. Your answer to my #2 question just made my day. I just wanted confirmation that I can still use my old priority date. I have no problems starting with a new labor, new I-140, as long as I can retain my old Priority date. Will you get real mad if I ask "can you re-confirm your answer" ? :D Nonetheless, Thanks a bunch again. :)

I gave my 3rd FP for pending 485 last week. Haven't seen any LUD change since. My NC was cleared last year as per USCIS. My question is after every FP, does FBI initiate a new name check? is this a vicious circle ?
how would you know if you have to get your FP done again...would you get an RFE or something like that?

Unless you want to get ready for boilerplate RFEs on the 140 dont go for premium processing. They just issue RFEs to make sure that case is "processed".

There is no doubt Obama admin is trying selective protectionist measures not only in immigration but also in trade.
The Rubber Meets The Road - Forbes.com (http://www.forbes.com/2009/09/12/china-imports-tires-business-washington-tariff.html)
Will it good for world? No. Will it good for America? Yes for short term. But long term it is bad for USA according to economists. But generally USA reverses the protectionist measures when economy rebounds and there is huge demand for US labor. So USA is not losing that much. Is it a fair or correct? If you compare with other countries may be it is correct. China is manipulating its currency for their convenience. That is a huge protectionist measure. When it comes to welfare of the country every country does unfair things. USA is not exception but still much better than most countries in the world.
AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Today's guest blogger is William Stock (http://www.klaskolaw.com/our-team.php?action=view&id=3), member of AILA's Board of Governors and partner in the law firm Klasko, Rulon, Stock & Seltzer
Employers who rely on foreign nationals to provide needed expertise in their workforce - from technical programmers to biochemists to wind turbine engineers - should take notice of three troubling trends which are becoming clearer as the discussion about employment-based immigration reform gets drowned out by the ongoing debate about comprehensive immigration reform.
The first trend is captured in this blog post (http://www.klaskolaw.com/our-team.php?action=view&id=3) by Vivek Wadhwa, a professor at Duke University who has studied high-tech entrepreneurship extensively. Current backlogs in the employment-based immigration categories trap foreign workers in the original job for which they were sponsored, meaning their companies cannot promote them to positions where their experience and skills can best be used. Nor can the workers take the initiative to start their own companies - while a small company may be able to sponsor one of its owners as an H-1B, a green card is much less likely in that situation. Wadhwa points out that eliminating the green card backlog (a major part of which consists of cases trapped by bureaucratic delays that should have been approved in past years� quotas, which do not carry over from year to year) would free an enormous amount of human capital to innovate and create the next generation of companies that will drive economic growth in the US.
More troubling, a combination of the green card quotas (which tie foreign nationals to one specific job) and rules for terminated H-1B workers (described in detail here (http://www.klaskolaw.com/articles.php?action=view&id=8)) are driving away the most talented foreign graduates of our universities. Recent surveys and profiles of foreign nationals in the US - particularly Indian engineers in Silicon Valley (http://www.sanfranmag.com/story/home-where-brain) - have highlighted an increase in the number of H-1B who are opting to return home, either from necessity or because the Indian economy now offers them opportunities to start or manage companies that the U.S. can�t match because of their visa situation. While opponents of high-tech immigration love to argue that H-1B visas allow tech workers to come to the US and learn skills that they can use back home, the fact is that most tech workers would prefer to use those skills in the US - and that immigrants are a key part of the Silicon Valley start-up community (given how many start-ups have at least one immigrant founder).
The most troubling trend, however, will not be immediate in its impact. For the first time in five years, US graduate programs reported a drop (http://www.businessweek.com/bschools/content/aug2009/bs20090820_960342.htm) in the number of international applications to their programs and the number of accepted applicants who chose to come to their programs. These students are the best and brightest from their countries, and when they choose to go to other countries rather than the US, we lose out not only on the tuition dollars they would have spent (at rates higher than out-of-state students pay), but also on their talents for companies in the US.
While these trends are troubling, they are not irreversible. What it will take, however, is a rational reform of our employment-based immigration system to recognize the contributions these immigrants make, and the national interest in providing a welcome mat to them.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/186823568153827945-8233644330835442863?l=ailaleadership.blogspot.com

Why dont we start an entrepreneur thread here on IV. I know it does not go in line with IV's goals, I can set up a forum real quick and we can get a group going there.
Sounds like a good idea to me. As far as I know, there are a lot of IV members showing interest in this topic.

Folks,
go to the AILA site. and make this query as shown below. They have also started something similar and the idea as i expressed in my previous post is to contact congress about this problem. They also have a sample letter on this search.
http://www.aila.org/search/default.a...erm=green+card
Murthy.com is also doing something similar but folks we need a lof of people to come forward and kinda pester these senators and law makers, trying to impress the idea of contribution of foreigners.
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_morh1b.html
At least everyone can send an email to the senators.
Thanks
