You could have called the local finger print office, and asked to move to another day because of travel. They let me come in 2 weeks early because of a flight. I had tickets in hand but they didn't ask to see.
I am not quite proud of what I did ... :(

I am sorry you feel like that about IV core. I am not a CORE member so I can't speak for them but if you have spent a basic amount of time following and more importantly taking part in IV initiatives you would not have "decided" that IV is promoting "EB2" agenda simply because there is no such agenda.
I am sure you noticed this but if not, this is a free speech and membership forum and IV is not made up by pappu or paskal but each and every one who tries to make some difference by participating in the action items.
If you think that there needs to be IV initiatives that better suit your needs, you know what...lead it...set up action items....organize like minded folks. IV is setup for that. It is easy to just point fingers and put out statements based on your negative perception, if you really feel so bad about this phantom EB2 agenda, how about doing something constructive through IV.
I am Eb3 Mar 2004 and I am planning to wait until the Oct dates before making any decision.
But there is a deeper problem that I see.
IV had been extremely instrumental in making the immigration issue heard outside our community and taking it to the ears of the people making decisions.
Now, IV, from what I am hearing and am seeing (by openly not supporting the Eb3-I agenda (pappu making comments about what is wrong with the EB3 word petition)
is interested in pushing the Eb2 agenda only.
The core team explanation that Eb2 rollover nos are provided to EB3 and that is why they cannot help it, is baseless.
If everything in the past was to happen as per the process, there would be no IV at all.
Also, in the recent past, EB3 was available when Eb2 was Unavailable, so the rollover argument is wrong.
Now, if IV is definite on not providing support to the EB3 community, it is time to rethink.
I do not have a good feeling about the EB3 to EB2 conversion (it is basically going into unknown territory).

Accountability. Ok great, accountability is a pretty good concept. However I think the OP is targeting the wrong people here.
Do we even dare to hold the CIS/DOS accountable for their wishful manipulation of PDs? These guys can't even give us information that's there in their own systems.
Did we raise our voice when H1Bs (an arch which all of us have passed through) were being demonized by the media and politicians?
So we are not holding the people who have been the biggest beneficiaries of our money accountable, why hold a volunteer group, who are nothing more than regular people like us with families and personal issues accountable for trying to fix something that's broken.
Shoot in the city I live in, it's like the Richard Pryor paraphrase "I see brown people"
Yet when we want to discuss agenda and action items, how many show up: 6, yes, 6.
Maybe next time we'll put up a board for free pizza and beer.
And here you are giving IV lunch money and asking for bill passage. :rolleyes:

What I am saying is - when dealing with things outside of your home country - you cannot expect or assume fairness to you.
lol, are you saying that an american does not expect to be treated fairly in canada?
or you have accepted racism as a part and parcel of being born an indian?
if so, believe me, you are in the minority.

I got laid off with a pending I-140 filed July 2006 along with I-485. I was told that as soon as those docs are filed my H1B becomes invalid. True? I still have an approved H1B receipt from another company valid thru Feb 2008. Can I still use it? Thank you.
You are pretty much safe to look for another job using AC-21. But make sure the job description is the same as your previous work (the company that did your concurrent I140/485 filing. You need to consult a lawyer for the AC-21 process.

Hi RajuSeattle--
You nailed it man. As i said in my post yesterday what you described so well is exactly what happened and so my explanation of just 140 substitution was not accurate.
Please note the response I got from the attorney of my previous employer (the one who revoked)
This is exactly what I previously explained and what XX verified for you. The I-140 was revoked/withdrawn and the labor certification was substituted. If only the I-140 had been revoked/withdrawn then you would still be portable. However, as XX confirmed, the company used the case to substitute another employee.
Clearly the ex-employer and USCIS are at fault. I have the approved I140 and to date on my uscis portfolio it states that my I140 was approved in Feb 2005. I changed jobs in June 2006.
I am so &^^%$#@ tired, that if this does not work....I am going back. Enough is enough.
Mohican,
From your I-485 denial notice and reading some of your posts in this forum it appears that the underlying I-140 petition has been revoked by your previous employer.
I dont think they substitute it for some other employee, their is no such concept as using the approved I-140 of a individual employee to use it for another employee.
Theis is the possibility that they revoked your I-140 and used the underlying approved Labor certification for another employee, or if they have any grudge
or for some other reason revoked your approved I-140.
If you were holding an approved I-140 and changed your job after 180 days of filing your I-485, then you have good chances of winning MTR.
Please consult attorney Murthy or Rajeev Khanna. I heard they are good at handling these type of situations.
Make sure you have the valid job in a similar profession as what your labor states and your are in legal status (H1B) with the current employer.
Technically you can not use EAD until they restore your I-485 petition.
Wish you good luck and hope you will have a successful outcome.

When it is already proved that no American is available for the skill set required and being substituted with a Foreign worker, then from where the nationality came in to the picture?
Here is the reasoning (I have not thought deeply enough about the reasoning to have a personal opinion on it yet):
The U.S. has a policy of cultural integration called "the melting pot". The idea, is that instead of (as Canada does it) maintaining simultaneous separate cultural identities (referred to as a "mosaic") cultural identities are "blended" together to arrive at a new cultural identity that will still be uniquely "American".
Given this policy, the per country quota makes sense, since to not restrict immigration from certain cultures risks the potential of getting more of a mosaic than a melting pot (since if there is sufficient "critical mass" of one cultural identity, this group would be prone to establish a "district" of their own and maintain their source culture). An example of this is the "little country" syndrome (e.g. little China, little Vietnam, little India, little Italy, etc.).
Does the companies bother about the skill set required or the nationality?
Thanks
The quota is applied post qualification of the candidate, so the skill set is not a factor (i.e. if country 'A' does not achieve quota with qualified applicants, then these visas are distributed to countries that have hit the quota).
Applicants from countries that don't achieve quota are subject to the exact same tests on their qualifications as applicants from countries that do achieve quota.
I think what frustrates most people here is not the per country quota, so much as the low level of the overall quota (since, as others have pointed out, most countries do not use their quota, and that quota *is* redistributed to the countries that do achieve quota, thus allowing them to exceed quota).
So in effect, all the per country quota does, is give applicants from those countries first-crack at available visas *once other countries are at quota*, and has no effect at all until some country has hit their quota.
I think there is plenty of room for discussion about what percentage a country should be able to send, and what the overall number of visas should be, but I really don't think the per country quota is worth getting worked up about.

Here I want to make clear, FIFO for taking labor applications and sending ad instructions not for approving. I know depending on compilcation of cases(I think), some cases with PD 2005 get approved fast and cases with PD 2003 are taking longer. I dont know why all these mess in DOL, for taking the labor applications and sending ad instructions.
No, I don't think it has anything to do with complication of cases. I know of the two different employees with the same employer with similar jobs/descriptions, one with PD 2005 approved and another with PD 2003 whose application hasn't even been taken for processing. So the behavior of the BEC just seems to be random and there seems to be no particular logic. Complication of the cases is definitely not one of the reasons as far as I know.

i am EB3 apr or may 2002 PD. In late 2005 i had asked my lawyer about switching to EB2 and she told the company that it would be a waste of money because our PD was 'so close' to being current. its 2008 and we are still 'so close' ;). i should have gone ahead and switched, now she says the same thing but i dont plan to listen. at the most i loose 6-9k...
i guess each one should take a decision on his/her own situation, without over analyzing. I agree with you that people with PDs 2003 and beyond should certianly consider switching.
PD Nov 2001 - Nov 2002 -> I would say no point in switching to EB2.
Labour + 140 will take atleast 12 months and another 6-9K US$. Not worth it because even otherwise you might have your GC within 12-25 montha from now.
PD Nov 2002 and beyond : Have to actively consider switching to EB2. Myself being in this range, I am doing the leg work and waiting to hear on what happens to the recapture bill. If it does not happen then these PD's should switch if they can and qualify.
Instead of being jealous towards EB2 bonanza , I think EB3 applicants should make use of this Eb3->EB2 conversion option and participate in the bonanza.
Yes, it costs additional 9K . Consider that the price of the ill advised decision to go in for Eb3 to begin with.
An opportunity to get past this GC mess and start realizing your dreams on both personal and professional front.

Shd we be expecting rejection letters from USCIS per applicant stating the reason for rejection??? If not then what proof do we have for potential benefits of lawsuit?!? Confused :(

I understand the need to gain grassroots strength, But at the same time I expect that IV core members to do better than arbitrary curt responses directing everyone to state chapter on this forum.
I am sure IV core do better, like for example, well crafted sticky memo explaining the need for state chapters/grassroots strength and dangers of remaining only an internet based group of anonymous members and why agenda of the IV will not be discussed or revealed in this forum. There was one good post explaining this.
Such a professional explanation is required to gain the respect of the newcomer on this forum and his views and at the same time promoting IV objectives.
IV and rest of us need each other to get this huge problem fixed.
actually the need for grassroots strength and chapters has been repeatedly explained. and i mean repeatedly. please see pappu's initial post which continues on previous efforts. as for nebraska, we have actually worked with some folks on staring a chapter. ultimately after providing info and direction we need members to so the work themselves, set up a chapter, collect members, use forum threads to motivate, schedule meetings etc etc
all this sometimes takes time. that effort continues.
i have personally done the explanations on numerous occasions and explained that we are not an internet forum AND used the very words you speak- iv is nothing but you and me. without each one of us there is no iv. you will be surprised at some of the responses this brings.
please take a moment to understand that lots of members show up from time to time asking the same questions and raising the same old issues. that is why we encourage everyone to be involved. being involved with chapters and/or engaging with other iv actions etc does keep a sense of community and is a ready source of information and updates. not that many take the advice and so the message has to be repeated. most of the encouragement is done by active dedicated members not by the core team.
please also take a moment to reflect on the fact that active members of this organization are less than 1% of it's strength on paper. many of the remaining 99% are not "newbies". motivating such reluctant "highly skilled" members and keeping an organization of 25,000 together- and being constantly questioned on "results" (people want to know they will get x by date y BEFORE the participate- and i am quoting this) is a yeoman's task at the best of times for the small group of dedicated volunteers that are working everyday at cost to their jobs and families. at least two iv leaders have separately travel led to DC this week for key meetings. several others have spent the last couple of weeks and weekends in iv meetings, running booths at local events and attending lawmaker meetings locally.
please be constructive in your role, we can use your energy and enthusiasm, but an attitude of engagement is critical rather than asking why iv core is not doing this or that.....

I guess this is the best thing to do, to upgrade my current EB2, and apply for an EB3. I hope this will expedite thins around here. Looking forward to more good things come.
You mean you are in EB3 right now and want to upgrade to EB2, right? Not the other way round?
If you are in EB2 already, don't move a muscle ! Unless ofcourse you can upgrade to EB1 !
