That is my opinion. I may be wrong. I was always under the impression with my 2 cent of brain that 7% of ( Familiy Based+ Emplyment Based ) will be given to each state.
I try to search every where for clarification. I could not find it. However the language is not clear in the law which states that 7% of 140,000 will be alloted to each state during the fiscal year.
Can some one share there light on it please.

thanks, radhagd and md2003. yes, we've had a very long discussion about porting PD after two I-140 approved in this board. but seems nobody had this done successfully. So I wonder which way is worth to keep, EB3 with earlier PD (but my EB3 LC has not been started even recruiting processing yet) or EB2 in case I am already in 140 pending stage (in our company, to pursue EB3, I will have to cancel EB2)? any comments on this?
thanks
thanks

I successfully ported from EB3 to EB2 in the same company while on EAD
Now i am working on the new Eb2 position using the EAD obtained from the EB3 position. I have still not filed my Eb2 485 since dates are not current (priority date jan 2007)
The new Eb2 job description was similiar to Eb3 but the difference was that now it required masters degree and 1 year experience. This is becasue of more resposnitlity and supervisory role in the eb2 position. Also natural progression...
I qualified for the Eb2 position without using the Experience gained in the existing company. I had masters and previous experience which was used for qualification....
Also the older Eb3 position does not exist as it was modified to the new Eb2 position as the role now required more complexity...
Sharing my experience and wondering if everything is ok with my current situation? I do not have a h1b. I still work on EAd obtained from the Eb3 app and travel on AP and have not had any issues yet....

Hi Gurus,
I want to switch my employer after my I140 gets approved. I may not be able to apply for I485 because of the Retrogression.
I have read somewhere that the priority date can be retained by the beneficiary once I140 is approved. Even though I restart the entire process from LC application, I can still hold the old priority date.
Are there any catches in this rule.
Please advise me.
I am no guru, but my understanding is that the old employer should not revoke/withdraw your I-140 AND he should not do fishy business with the LC itself that the I-140 is based upon, meaning should not substitue your approved labor with someone else. (Knowing most desi consultancies (if you belong to one), i am pretty sure, he will try to sell the old approved LC).

Lou Dobbs exposed...:rolleyes:
Lou Dobs is referred to as a right-wing populist demagogue. Atlast some one has the courage to speak out the truth.
http://www.wsws.org/articles/2006/jun2006/immi-j16.shtml
He is known for bashing outsourcing and always made up statistics how outsourcing was not cost effective.
He has also compared how a job of one person is done by 10 people in Asian countries but cared less to inform the general public that cost of labor for 10 is less than that of one person here in united states.

If a person tests positive for TB and the chest X-Ray also shows signs of TB the USCIS doctor will send us to the county doctor's office. If they also determine positive result we wil have to start the medication.
1) So with the dates becoming current on July 01 2007 can a person apply for I-485 or wait till the medication is completed?
2) Also how long does the medication take?
Thanks

I am no expert but here are a few suggestions.
Your visa expiry date will correspond to the duration of stay originally requested in your I-129 and stated in the approved Labor C.
However, once you enter the US your attorney will file to extend your visa and your visa will be extended for another 3 years duration from Sept 2010 (when the current one expires). After that 3 year expires you will be eligible for another 2 years + months that remains out of the total 6 years possible.
I dont feel that you have to worry too much. The only problem is you will only have an approval notice after the Sept 2010. Once you leave the US, to reenter you will need to go to any consulate to get the visa stamped.
Welcome to the "immigration maze". When you walk through you will see people stuck, directionless and hopeless. Try to give them a hand. Rarely you will come across people who are "very optimistic" for no obvious reason. Try to get some optimism from them to keep you energized. Best.

Hi to all in this morass called Immigration to the USA,
#1 I've got a suggestion : IF there is some way we can get through to someone intelligent (duh !) at the IT department of the USCIS, would that be of some help to check up on what's happening with the cases ?
#2 My lawyer filed an I-140 in June of 2006 with a PERM labor of PD Dec '05. He filed it with a "copy" of the labor and case is still pending. In May he filed some paperwork with the USCIS about my case so that they (USCIS) would request a duplicate of the "original labor" from USDOL. All this sounds very complicated. I would like to know the experience of other people in a similar situation and what needs to be done to expedite this process ? My I-140 has been pending for more than a year .....
Thanks !

Inspite of telling my lawyer she did the mistake of sending my EAD and AP before 120 day period. EAD filed 121 days prior and AP filed 148 days prior. I have gotten the receipts of both but AP status says that they have requested more information/evidence. I am wondering what additional information they need. Anyone else in this situation ?

That's right. I have done just that. Since you are filing a fresh PERM and I-140, it can be a different employer, entirely different job, title, salary. etc. You are only porting the date from the other I-140, nothing else.
Does this mean I can port the PD even if I moving from a technical position to a managerial position in a different company. of course I know one has to file a new perm and I140 with the new company.

What did your lawyer say about this? Now you have a delivery confirmation, did you lawyer suggest that USCIS consider the dates as of last year and process your resubmitted application. Certainly it is not your fault,,

what is mandatory?.....what happens if a person has to move 6 months after they file I-485.....aint they going to change their address??.....can we use AR-11 to do that?....there is no way I can wait for 4 years at my current place to get my green card in hand.....would appreciate any suggestions
What is mandatory is that you have to provide YOUR address to get the GC. Your friend's address is not YOUR address. If you move after 6 months invoking AC21 or just buy a house down the street, you would need to notify USCIS about YOUR new address so they will send the GC to the new address.
Thanks,
Jayant

485 was approved on 7/26/07. Wife's 485 was delivered by Fedex to Nebraska Service Center on 7/19/07.
Is wife OK and does this mean her 485 is pending(even though receipt is not sent by USCIS yet) or she is going to be out of status???
