Gurus,
I got my GC on the 30th of Nov. My current project ended on 31st Dec. My employer is not responding to my calls and emails asking him if I'll get paid on bench. He is not giving any clear answers and just dodging the direct questions.
I have a few very good offers in my hand as of now which I can take but those might put me in violation of some non-compete agreements that I signed. I also signed a 1 year 'bond' at the time of my I-485 filing in May.
I'm without work for the last 7 days and I won't know if he will pay me on bench before I get my paycheck end of january...
Some of the offers that I have can wait for a few more weeks...
What do you guys think I should do in this case..
Mainly worried about these aspects:
1. Non-compete agreements
2. Bond signed at the time of agreement
3. Leaving employer soon after getting my GC.
Please don't blast me for being a chicken even after getting my GC... I'm just trying to get the opinion of my fellow IVians...
Thanks

I am changing my job on H1B. I have I-140 approved with present company. What documents do I need to have to keep my old priority date? I have copy of I-140 approval notice. Do I need to have copy of labor certification as well?

Just to be contrarian, I think the recent H1-B and L-1 fee increase is an opportunity. Instead of playing a victim of legislative abuse, we should come out batting with an offense. We should get businesses to lobby for us. We should get congress people educated about the unfairness. We should not say the fee is wrong, because these are after all elected officials and they will not jeopardize their election prospects by going against this measure. So we should say ok take this fee but then provide us with administrative fixes that we want.
The H1B/L1 fees is designed to hit the body shopping business model. It is nothing but a
legal/labor cost arbitrage that most indian IT service shops follow.
The fees is not the last but the beginning and more will be piled on as they will come back again in a year or so to fund more "secure the mexican border" initiatives. It is a beast that can never be satisfied. The American It companies are not impacted by the 50% rules and they care less about it. So it the resistance effort will be very minimal...like it happened this time.

How do i find out if a RFE has been issued on a case?
Does USCIS "check case status" mentions it? My lawyer is one heck of a person and i have to keep track of my case.
I saw the case status online and it says "Request for Additional Evidence Sent".

I have got exactly the same RFE.....i am going to send the same documents and hoping that this is enough. There was one question that was bothering me on my i485RFE. It started like this...............
Your FORM I485 Application Must be accompanied with two colored Photographs.................
I am confused if they mean that i should re submit the i485 application or just the letter taht came with it.
i also never got any colored sheet as i have heard most of the people got. Is this normal practise or something i should be conserned about

I haven't had "any" FP yet, but I have my EAD and my advanced parole for tavel. I also have my H1B current and stamped in my passport.
Last time I got H1B stamped in the embassy, they took my fingerprits, 10 fingers (I also asked if they want the 10 toes :D)
Can that fingerprinting in the embassy be the reason why they haven't sent any notices for my fingerprinting?
Should I be worried?
Can somebody, please, tell me how do you ask for a service request?
Thanks in advance

As I understand the process, if your date is current, the USCIS will accept your application - meaning they ARE processing applications with a priority date matching or exceeding yours.
During the July 2007 fiasco, the cut-off dates were current, allowing everyone to apply. If we submitted our application and the date is current at the time, why do we have to wait until our date becomes current again? Shouldn't they process the application within 6 months or less?

Dont count on it. There is very narrow chance. If you opt CP in 140, NVC will send your papers to consulate abroad, only after your PD become current. Consulate will take their own time to arrange the interview. It will take one month to six months after they recive your file from NVC. During that period the PD has to be always current. Consulate takes out visa numbers for CP, only after a successful interview. If your PD retrogress with in a month (like last year fiasco) consulate will not schudle a interview till it become current again. In that case your file will stuck for ever. Therefore, 485 is the best route. CP is the best route, only if the cutoff dates does not flutuate or retrogress back.

Thats ok even if she doesn't have AP. That is perfectly fine. Don't worry her H4 is already stamped and she has time till next year. She is totally safe even if she does not have AP.

Hi Gurus,
Please suggest me the best option as i am still undecided.
My employer terminated my employment when I lost my job with the client company during 2nd week of June 2009. Before termination, my employer filed my GC and I have my EB2- 140 approved (PD- Feb 2007) and also My previous H1 extended last year 2008 and they have issued my visa for another 3 yrs (3rd term in H1). Since then I am without job and looking for an opportunity. But to be on safe side I left the country before the 30 days of my termination. I came back to US on H4 visa (so that I will be in-status and my GC won't get affected).
Now i am getting an opportunity for a FT position with a company and now I am undecided what to do? If I took the FT with a new company and then my GC process will start from beginning (applyng labor and then once approved (don't know how long it will take to approve labor in EB2) I can then file for 140 porting my previous approved 140 -eb2 with PD Feb 2007) or Just wait until I find a contract job and go through my previous employer and continue my GC process from where it is left.
Currently the PD for EB2-I is in 2005. So should I wait and go smoothly with my previous employer (but still we don't know how long it will take) or go with the FT.
Please suggest me.
i am badly need your advice.
Regards

Hi.
I am planning to invoke AC21 via H1B.
My old employer have no issues continuing the same attorney for my future needs.
My new employer asked me to go with their attorney... but I am planning to go with my old guy who applied my 485.
Can I pay AC21, future expenses etc charges from my pocket since I am going with my old attorney.
Is it OK to me paying fees for the GC instead of Employer? Or I shud go with New company Attorney?
Appreciate your help on this.

yes there most likely will be an RFE asking for her paystubs...looking at the current trends. You might try her stamping H-4 instead. People have a higher rate of success there. For her H-4 stamping, they just might ask for your paystubs....but thats also not a complete guarantee.

The reporter has already talked with me and two other IV members. we do not make good cases for her. The main theme of her article is 'highly skilled immigrants leaving USA because of retrogression'. She would like to talk to anyone who has decided to leave because of this problem. Anyone who meets this requirement please write to me urgently on jungalee43@yahoo.com
Please do not forget to mention your phone number and your permission for the reporter to contact you on that number. There is only one day left as she wants to publish her article on Friday i.e. April 7. If you are from North Carolina, then that would be a great thing for her article.

Every time I call USCIS to inquire if my I-140 is filled under EB2 or EB3. They ask me to ask my lawyer or employer to call. They won't tell me. I do have a copy of I-140 that states it is Eb2 (Advance degree and all) but I am concerned about what is there in USCIS system.
I cannot ask my previous enployer to call as I have left the company using AC21.
Please advise what is the solution?

Hello,
It will take hours. Let's put it this way; for one letter that is animated to spin, the file size is about 14-20k. Now 10 letters that are animated to spin will be around 200k alone. The process time does take hours.
It all depends on what configuration you have (AMD K6-2 550). On my PC it takes about 30 mins (P3 933), but that is still a long time to watch the Ravix processor draw all the lines individualy. What I usually do for large Swift 3D files, is simply export the outlines only. Then inside flash, I lay the movies on top of each other. So when they move, it creates an illusionary effect. For web based publishing, Swift 3D is just not a program that creates small files.
I hope that helped. If you have any further questions or comments, please don't hesitate to reply back.

H-1B Quota is still available for all employers. Employers who have not yet proceeded with new H-1B filing can go ahead now too as per their business requirements. After many years since the Cap of H-1B started, it is still available even after Sept. 30, 2009. As of this writing, there are still H1B cap numbers available, both in the advanced-degree and regular H1B quotas. This means that H1B petitions can still be filed for fiscal year 2010. These filings can continue, as long as the cap numbers are available.
We like to share that H-1B petitions can be filed throughout FY10, until the cap numbers are all depleted. Petition filed under the 2010 Cap after October 1, 2009, the start date of work requested can be immediate. Since October 1, 2009 has already passed, and the H-1B numbers are still available, filings may request an immediate validity date. Like earlier, the start date for H-1B work can be as much as six months in the future, depending upon the needs of an employer. Usually one has to start the H-1B Cap process 6 months in advance of the requested start of employment, employers were all doing so in order to increase their chances of obtaining one of the limited cap numbers. Thus, cases were filed at the beginning of April, requesting an October 1st start date. However, we are now beyond October 1st, and Cap numbers remain available, it is possible to pick a more desirable start date, ranging from immediate to six months in the future.
There is not much progress in cases filed in FY 2010 quota yet. However, there is sharp increase in filings. The regular cap increased by 1600 cases between the end of August and the end of September, for a total of 46,700 as of September 25, 2009. This reflects a higher rate of filings than in the prior few months which may be due to re-filings and fresh filing as per upcoming requirements. We will keep you posted on further developments.
