Is it possible to upgrade from EB3 to EB2, if person is working on EAD after AC21 is invoked and H1 is expired?
I believe it is possible if your company is willing to do it. Having said that, you would be better off asking this question to a qualified lawyer.

Why not file on your own??? they charge a ton ... heck you could buy an iphone with service for a year with what they charge ....the quote they gave me was :
EAD application - total: $722
$350 legal fee
$340 USCIS filing fee
$32 admin/misc fee**
AP application - total: $837
$500 legal fee
$305 USCIS filing fee
$32 admin/misc fee**
**If all applications are processed at the same time, the admin/misc fee will be slightly reduced.
Anyone else having problem or I am the only one?

You can file 485 even without the I-140 receipt number. You need to include a cover letter with your details. Also, include the copy of your labor certification with it. You can get more details here.

For all those who don't believe in IV - First, thanks for giving me all those reds :) I guess that is the best you can do anyway besides complaining about IV. Second, if I understand it correctly you want to be associated with IV but on your terms. Every organization has a goal and it's own way of doing things. Take for example the companies you work for. There are lots of things that we don't like about our companies; do you go complaining about those to your board of directors?
Transparency? The only transparency I have and I need is that IV is the ONLY organization looking out for the highly skilled community.
The solution to this is simple like I said before - If you don't agree with IV's way of doing things, what is the need to come here and corrupt the minds of those who believe in IV. Please take it somewhere else. We promise we will not miss your business!

Which case is pending? LC? PERM? ONE MONTHS? Is this a BEC victim?

i think this is the same guy who created a huge fuss on july 2nd when we found out that all 485s will be rejected and said that we all deserve it since we did not "remember" people in pbec.
do u want to go thru somthing like that again....by unbanning him?
bestia do not feel sorry for ppl like these...because they kick you when u r happy
hahaha. i also remember one guy telling everyone on this bbs to not file till July 29, so the PDs remain current for August. some one later found out by reading his old posts that he had already filed his 485 :eek:

The Melting Pot diversity policies from the '60s were devised on a spirit of Family Reunification, but also to ensure that the US was not overwhelmed by any one country
In this spirit the concept of Per Country Quota makes some sense.
Hermoine, it is not an argument about whether X more go to India or whatever country.
The problem with Per Country limits makes no sense when the same theory is applied to visa's granted because of Skill. Employability has nothing to do with ethnicity (in fact, there are laws that prevent this type of discrimination by employers). It just so happens that currently India and China, due to their educational focus has a lot of people with skills that American industry wants. Who knows, in 10 years this could change and those skills could come from Mauritius and Lichtenstein and then they would be backlogged instead.
The main objection with per country caps for skilled employment is that it places discrimination based on ethnicity. It should be fair for everyone, not ones that happen to be from under subscribed countries. The concept of FIFO should be upheld.
Yes, I'm ROW, and will argue to my dying breath that per country caps for employment must be abolished. It exasperates backlogs and in discrimantory

Stop this... Really it doesn't help anyone..
Knowing what I know..
Here are facts that might help everyone...
For EB3
EB2 I/C will never be current without legal fixes.. Current estimated EB2 backlog is slightly less than 100K
For EB2 I/C from 2006..
Unless hell falls on us, Most of you will get green cards this year.
Now Lets get back to IV Advocacy effort and get active.. That is the the only hope for everyone...

Hey guys
Just received email from CRIS regarding I-485 denial notice for both me and my wife.
I used AC21 after 9 months of filing I-485. My I-140 was approved before even filing I-485 in July fiasco.
My attorney promptly sent AC-21 and G-28 and i did see LUD on my and my wife's I-485 after that.
My previous company informed me sometime ago that they are going to revoke I-140 and probably they did and i am assuming that's what triggered this.
This is certainly a big damm mistake they did even after sending AC-21 docs and G-28.

Well majority of the people on this thread and forum is finding this as just cause, I am totally for it.
However no one is sure if this logic will hold water. Well none of us are lawyers, thus our arguments for or against doesn't hold. Someone said at the start of this thread that let's consult some big lawyers.
People are ready to contribute (including me) and I personally think that IV Core will be the best forum to take this up with lawyers. They already have an existing network, have folks that have participated in efforts related to legal immigration,
To IV Core
--------------
Country Quota is single biggest reason for retrogression, Have you guys (in the past) discussed with lawyers if removing Country Quota for EMPLOYMENT BASED can be legally challenged ??
If this has not been discussed do you guys think some one from lawyer forum (one that is on IV) can research on this ??
If above research shows things can be challenged then let's get it challenged through some esteemed lawyers !!
Also since so many people (once again including me) are ready to contribute, IV can become forum to raise money for this Legal challenge...like another pool.
I am sure people have talked, discussed about removing country quota in the past. However I am not sure if serious effort have been made to see if this can be challenged and that is the focus we all should have.

One change I noticed.
Now people can continue in the old system if the I-140 was approved or pending before the first day of the fiscal year subsequent to the the bill being enacted. So if the bill is passed right away, you need to have filed your I-140 before Oct 1 2007.

Campaign contribution is the lubricant oil of politics (all pun intended - big oil is the biggest contributor to both parties).
Strength of IV & the skilled immigrant community should translate to campaign dollars. If the skilled immigrant community is in powerful positions in big firms, they can influence company contributions. Same applies for companies (to be) founded by immigrants.
We need to put our money where our mouth is.

I have no problem with IV. I enjoy this forum and I really liked the that they did the rally last year and the flower campaign. I would like to do something about this whole situation (see my idea for The Two Cents Campaign (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=24962)). I just have problems parting with money :) without knowing what I'll get.
You want to throw money at things without knowing what it will get you. And then we'll see about sorry asses. Have fun doing that.
ok, so u like the concept of rally. Well, that's a good starting point. You know how much money is needed/spent to do a rally. I attended Sept-2007 rally. So I could see how much money was needed. It was made possible for people like me who contributed, and the rally would have not happened if it were for 2 cents people like you who want to see the balance sheet and EPS (earning per share) :p before moving your a$$. Its not about throwing money at a problem, its about seeing these guys in action and knowing from experience their passion, energy and willingness to work on my issues. You will never know because you were not there. I can try to make you understand but still you will never know. But as I said earlier, I am in no mood to spoon feed you or anyone like you anymore. For now, I would ok even if folks like you would just drop dead.

Now I see why you got banned. What you did not realize is others were not rejoicing anything "AT YOUR EXPENSE". They were just enjoying what was available to them. You are the one who wants to make it a zero sum game i.e. gain for others is loss for you and vice versa.
While others were celebrating what was good for them, you want to rejoice others pain. That is just *sic*. I retract my earlier support for you.
Do I think that its unfair that people (I started my GC in May 04) from 06,07 will clog up queue, yes, but such is life. Can't do much about that can we? So enjoy whatever good is happening. Please remember, what goes around comes around. If you rejoice others unhappiness, you too will soon join them.
Quote from LogicLife's post
'And finally, if you do rejoice at the revisions of July bulletin because that would somehow do justice to you and your other BEC brothers, please rejoice privately, not publicly. Rejoice all you want, if that's what gives you happiness, but send PMs to your BEC friends or do it over the phone. Have a barbeque at your home. Have a conference call and celebrate. '
If all others can rejoice the open of visa filing at our expense publicly, why couldn't we rejoice something that'd bring fairness? Why don't they rejoince in private? You think they have us in mind? I call that BS.

Agreed immigration is benefit. But immigration laws should apply equally. It cannot be the case that people from only few countries are retrogressed by 5 more years than the people from all the other countries, which causes people from few countries to be at disadvantage at work
......
......
Good Luck with using that argument if that is your legal basis.
Fair does not necessarily means legal.
Example:
Two person have approved I-140 and waiting for visa number to be current. One is in the USA and the other one is outside USA. The one in the USA can keep on extending H-1B while waiting to file I-485, whereas other person has to wait to get green card at consular processing. Is that fair? For some, it may or may not be.
Immigration Laws can not be challenged in court on basis of fairness. However, with lobbying, laws can be changed.
Personally, I think the country quota is discriminatory and should be removed for EB based green card. But this can be done only with law change and this requires long and persistent lobbying, time, and monetory effort.
In any fight, it is always prudent to use effort and energy in right direction.
Good Luck.
