How is the market? I want to share my history and see if the situation is the same in other places.
I work in a small financial company in NJ since 2003 in IT. They are sponsoring my gc now. It's a growing company.
At that time it was my boss, me (programmer) and an american girl (crystal reports). She left and we replace with an indian guy green card holder. Later he left and we hire 2 crystal reports developers, an indian and a russian both green card holders. Later we decided to hire another developer. Join us a hong kong born citizen. I think he is naturalized now. Anyway. Later we hired another programmer, come an indian gc holder. She left and we hired another indian programmer (i think she's in h1)
Today we are trying to hire another programmer and so far, 1 month, no one show up.
I don't know if this situation is happening in other places, but from our experience since 2003.
- there are not many americans interested in IT ?!?
- the unemployment is not affecting IT so much ?!? No one is showing up to fulfill our position now and in the previous years.
- due to visa backlogs and restrictions, it's impratical to sponsor h1 or gc.
My opinion, this a good example that immigration not so bad for US. With good immigration we would had filed our position and not took an american job.
Again, anyone seeing the same in other places...
Specialized people are not easily available.

Thanks for your info ISUK.
I had my educational credentials evaluated last year and I missed last years quota in lottery. Can I use that for applying this years H1B or DO I need to get educational credentials evaluated again??
THE ONLY THING that takes time is evaluation part of educational credentials.
experts please answer

M.B.A is always good no matter whether you are on H1B and or on GC, It is good for the career growth.

Good Luck and Best Wishes

I filed my LC on June 06. The Certification was denied on Feb 07, I filed an appeal right away, and I have not heard anything. I called the DOL so many time and they gave me the same response: "Your case is in process, we work on first in, first out, and we do not expedited cases, we don't have a frame time" That is not a concrete answer.
There is any body that faced a similar situation, Please advised�. what to do!!!!
Thank u.

Hi Morchu,
Thanks for you reply.
Yes you replied to my question in other Thread... but you thought I did't exhausted my 6 years...
But Iam already in 7th year. Based on my situation I want to make sure whether Iam eligible or not for applying one more H1 while other (H1 appeal is pending). So I posted my request here too.
Thanks again Morchu for your responses.
Morchu's suggestion is a very good one. You file for a premium H1 with all the documentation and new approved I140. Can you share why your previous 485 was rejected?
-cheers

The receipts will be generated not by Priority Date but by Physically received date. This was obvious right from beginning, but some questions were raised on this forum.
Even though receipts are generated based on received date, I assume they will process by priority date , if not what is use of priority date after filing I-485?
Gurus, any body know how USCIS will process 485 applications?

My main concern is RD of 28th August.....Does that mean that we are falling out of August 17 window and our cases will be put on hold or may be denied.......
Atleast, if I had RD of July 2, 2007...when our cases reached USCIS....I would not worry about it that much.....
Now...when it get transfered to NSC, will we get new case #s....I think all cases at NSC starts with LIN....
Anybody else in same situation?
Did you guys talk to your Attorney?
I just sent an email to my Attorney and waiting for the reply....

Folks,
How are the taxi charges from Chennia airport to the town or station ? Do the drivers charge whatever they feel like or is it controlled?
My parents are leaving back from the US and will be landing in Chennai, they are not from Chennai....so not sure if I should try to book a taxi before hand...or the charges are controlled ? Also, do they have something like pre-paid taxi ?
The flight (emirates) lands at 3 or 4 am.
Also, any recomendations for Hotels ? Ideally near the railway station.
Thanks in Advance !!
Regards,
You should book the hotel on Yatra.com or Makemytrip.com. I have used them in the past, and if you book 3 star or more, then you get pretty decent hotels.
Also, about the taxi, you should ask them to go straight to the pre-paid counter and pay as per the fare board charge. It will look a bit expensive, as it is the airport, but it is usually hassle free and safe.

Honestly you are not in very good shape. You can't use AC21 so can't port your GC.
If your old employer withdraws your 140 (which many small firms do) you won't get to retain your PD. Now some lawyers think you may retain your PD but it is debatable.
Also, if you file your GC through a respectable non H1B dependent firm and your case does not go for audit, you will get labor + 140 within a year. Else it may take 3+ years.

Folks in Alipac are enjoying this news - they say such a thing is good for the country because Indians and Chinese won't come here anymore
They seem to be a bunch of chaotic confused folks and don't know what they want.

You need to bump this thread zillion times, before you get like 100 contributions. People are busy filing for 485 now and later on busy waiting for ead's and later on busy getting their infopass appointments and the list goes on... forever.

Can I join new company on my EAD after 180 days of I485 receipt date?? Yes you can join new company using your EAD after 180 days.
One quick question:
What is AC21 provision: is this a clause or any other application or ???? This is a clause.
These are my opinion. It is better to consult with your lawyer.

It takes courage to stand with fliers in your hand in the middle of a crowd, trying to hand out to people and in return get a look from them as if they are saying we are not buying whatever you are selling.
But three of our members had courage to face that looks and ignore the humiliation of being ignored by most people. These people are Raj , Murali and Kumar.
In spite of several people residing in tri state area , only four (including myself) volunteers showed up to distribute fliers at the India day parade. In the eyes of IV and all those who are living far enough to participate in our effort, these people are true heroes.
Interestingly, we met couple of people at the parade who claimed to be member of IV. What does being a member of IV means? Unless you actively participate, you are not a real member.
Anyways, the crowd at the parade was good and our team did best they could do and were able to distribute around 500 fliers. I fully agree that we could have done more and with more enthusiasm had our number were greater. But in spite of the odds, the spirits remained high.
I thank again to Raj , Murali and Kumar for sticking together for our cause. It is the people like you who will make the change happen.
May god bless you!
Thanks
Sanjeev

Have you hear anything from your appeal? Please let me know.
Thank you.
Aura M/Hassan 11,
I am assuming that when you guys say appeal - you mean request for review (RFR) for the LC that got denied. My LC was denied in November 06 and my employer's lawyer filed a Request for Review (RFR )because the said they were absolutely sure that DOL had denied the LC in error. Well, DOL approved the RFR and my LC was approved in Jan 08 - YES it took 14 months. The advantage is that if RFR is approved the priority date can be maintained. The lawyer's had told me that it does take a year for RFR to be approved (of course at that time nobody expected that the Pdates would become curent in summer of 07 so I missed that bus) - but anyways now I can maintain my original priority date.
From whatever I have read online it seems the lawyers have to be absolutely sure that the LC is denied in error by DOL to expect any positive reply for the RFR.
Best of luck to you both!!
Thank you.

Thanks for your response kaisersose.
I understand I can switch jobs with my EAD.
I want to switch from EB3 category to EB2 since I will be current under EB2 with my PD of July 2003. What is the process I have to follow to make this switch?

During this process of recession why USCIS does not help the economy by hiring more employees or contractors and issuing green cards. However, green card guys may think of buying houses and improve economy.
Is it a good idea to request Obama, USCIS to employ more peoples(decrease unemployment), process work faster, and let the green card guys invest money in US to improve economy.
LOL
