PERM EB2 India
PD:Feb 2006
I-140 Approved
BEC EB2 from same company
PD: Dec 2004
Just approved today
I am applying I-485 on July 2nd based on approved I-140 PD Feb 2006
as I don't want to take chance with refiling I-140 for PD Dec 2004.
In future can I apply I-140 for labor with PD Dec 2004 & on approval can I switch the
PD for my pending I-485 if dates are current for that PD?
Gurus below is an article on Murthy's site Posted in Jul 2000 which is related to the question I had above.
http://www.murthy.com/news/UDpen485.html
According to the year 2000 INS memorandum about procedures for substituting a new I-140 (employment-based petition) approval in a pending employment-based adjustment case
"The rules are generally straightforward in the employment-based context. The regulations clearly states that if a person is the beneficiary of multiple I-140 approvals, s/he is entitled to the earliest priority date."
Anybody please advice if this is still true and based on that
for pending I-485 can PD be transfered in the same category(EB2) once my second I-140 with better priority date is approved?

I do understand that without evidence you can't fight the conventional way or file a law suit. It would be difficult, if not impossible. I am not debating that. I never said it would be easy. Even with evidence (in case of Capital One), one can argue if thats a good enough base for fighting and whether it will do any good if the case is won. Thats not the point.
What would you do if a recruiter or employer told you (verbal or writing) that it is their policy not to hire Indians? (I am just using India as an example).
Regardless of written evidence, I would be inclined to do something about it. I am not saying that I will file a law suit. I would probably not even want to work for such an employer. But I will not be speculating that oh, there must be some loophole that allows employers to have such a policy; because many of them are saying that, it must be legal. I will not assume that they can do this under "Hire and fire" authority. We just seem to have a little difference in opinion about that. We agree on pretty much everything else. Thats all. And frankly, its good to have an opposing perspective on things.
Now, if I hear from experts that my understanding of the discrimination laws is incorrect and that it is legal for an employer to say that they will not hire somebody with EAD, I'll just shut up. Until then, I will encourage people not to be quiet and to call the hotline, file a complaint, call the media, and pursue whatever means we have at our disposal to fight what we consider injustice and fight what we believe is discrimination as per the law.
Now, I am with you:)

Do we need the Birth Certificate for secondary applicants(spouse).
None of the checklist(Employer based I-485) I have been thru say that I need the secondary applicants Birth certificate.
My spouses Birth certificate is in a regional language, and hence the question.
Moved this to the Birth Certificate thread.....

Hi,
I am currently working in Skilled visa through one of MNC company.I am working for this company for last 4 years and prior to this company i worked in another small company for two years.When I join my current company i provided all the legal document like exp,last two month pay stub and releiving letter and they did BG . They did not find anything wrong with prior employer in last 4 year. recently they found something wrong about my prior employer and asking me providing additional document and unfortunately company is closed or rename. I have told my current employer that i don't have any more evidance of my prior employer.Because of this reason they are asking me to come back india.
Is there any way that i can take legal action against this company in US because from last one week
they are harrassing my like anything.
Please let me know if anyone come across in this situation.
They are just giving you BS. They are trying to use a fake reason to send you back to India. They might be using this fake reason (BG check) to avoid any legal hassles. Keep track of how they are harassing you, keep a copy of all emails and documents used in correspondence in this matter and complain to DOL.

Guys,
EB2 guys( those who do not want to support EB3)::
What will you do, in EB3 shoes, if the numbers are not moving in 2-3 months. You got it. MOst of them will change to EB2, right. I will too. I am sure you can imagine the scene then. I know 8 of my 15 friends have already jumped to EB2. And I am sure they have much higher priority date than most of EB2s there. So you know what to expect. Lets ALL support for the common cause.
Sri.
I understand the frustration. Until two months back my PD was retro. Now, I already have my GC on my EB2-NIW I-140 and also had an approved EB1-OR I-140 recently. I am not here to suggest anyone shouldn't do what they think is best for them.
My own understanding of the law is that EB1 gets the left over EB5, EB2 gets the unused numbers from EB1 and the EB5 that went into EB1 but unused. EB3 gets the unused numbers from EB2 and those from EB1+EB5 unused by EB2. This maintains the preference categories (USCIS's definition, I am not saying EB2 is better than EB3).
No matter how the numbers are distributed, there is more demand than supply. It is unlikely all the unused EB1 and EB2 ROW numbers would fall to EB3 ROW and then to EB3-C/I. Some would surely go to EB2-C/I. Right now everyone is retro except EB1 and EB2 ROW. So, redistribution doesn't fix the problem just redistributes the retrogression.
If we can get the recapture and elimination of country ceiling then everybody benefits. The fact that we have an immigration bill is in itself quite something.
No matter how USCIS or DOS allocates the numbers, there will be backlog and its in everyone's interest whether C/I or ROW to think about pushing for the immigration reform bills.

Guys why dont you get it??? :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
EB1 is the most imp for US, followed by EB2, followed by EB3?
Why should USCIS follow the approach of oldest priority first? without any regards to the EB categories?
EB categories were created for a reason, doesn't matter how smart you are. If you are in lower skill category your wait is bound to be more. I don't see anything wrong in that.
If EB1 is current and EB2 takes 4-5 years you can't just start crying. Similarly if EB2 takes 2 years and Eb3 takes 7-8 years you can't panic. Stop being a cry baby and start respecting the inter EB level priority.

Thankx fo rthe response.
Does this mean i will surly get a RFE, and if it is say 1 year later, will i have to go for the medical exam again?
You should be fine, one of the latest FAQs says you can file without medical report.

K,
Ask yourself a simple question:
Is the ITIN Number the same as the SSN?
Sometimes we read too much into these forms, and I too am guilty of doing the same.
Take the case of filing the affidavit of support - I-134, I-864. So much debate, but no clear answer.
Or the case of copying all the pages of your passport - as if the USCIS doesn't have enough documents to sift through
Or the case of color copies of visas, passports
Or the case of providing copies all the I-94's you have had till date
Or the case of providing tax returns, w2s etc
As per the instructions, none of these documents are required.
Just go by what is in the instructions, read the questions in the form carefully and answer them honestly, to the best of your knowledge and ability.
If the USCIS needs more information, they will write to you.
Hi ,
I left the SSN for my wife blank in I-765
My attorney told me to fill in ITIN # if available.
My wife is on H4 and she do have ITIN#.
I am confused.
Can anybody please clarify.
Thanks In advance

Public rallies are hard to organize compared to intense dicussions online. There is an issue of permits from the city before you hold a public event and also other things to take care of. Its not worth doing it unless it gets attention of national media for which you would need atleast 5 to 10 thousand people.
For example, if you want to hold a rally in central park in New York City, you would need a permit I believe from City of New York and then organized efforts to make sure that the media shows up there and you can say something for the cameras.
Immigration is not one of the issues that are hot enough to get media's attention and time and cover a public rally.
Our strategy is to get the attention of specific groups of people:
The congress.
The people affected by retrogression
And the people who hire people affected by retrogression.
Using energy to take our cause to the entire populace is not fruitful because it will be forgotten soon and the people who need to hear us are very few.
ON the other hand, if you or others on this website can organize get-togethers at a private venue, like a banquet hall or something and mobilize people to volunteer on this website in terms of time effort and money, then it would be just SWEEEEET and we would be sending you a thank-you note.:) :)

Vonage's cancellation early termination charge is $39.99 + Some admin charges = $45.
The $100 you are talking about is when you sign up and also ask for the router from vonage. what I did was went to craigslist and bought the vonage router for $15 and signed up for vonage. They sent the cancellation policy and charges by email which is somewhere between $40-$45.
I was earlier their customer when moved from vonage to T-mobile @Home. After a little argument they waived off the early termination charges and now because of the good customer service I joined them back. As by joining I got a free month of phone service as well.
I would say the reps on the other side also human being and depends on how one goes on to put up their point in the most polite manner without hurting anyone or anything in the process and results are always fruitful if the conversations are driven the right way.
Overall for me to make calls and recieve calls without any hassle is the key and I think vonage is pretty good at it. Moreover they moved their customer care I think moved back in US from phillipines as this time the conversation was smooth and didn't have to repeat the sentence again or didn't have to ask to say again.
Also I don't care if any competitor comes up with a $2 less + some more feature. Quality is the key and I think vonage beats everyone in that. I had a tough time fixing up my fax machine wiht sun rocket once upon a time and cancelled my service with them for that reason.
Vonage has a contract of 1 year. Have to pay around $100 if you break the contract.
Lingo has a contract for 2 years. Will have to pay a similar contract break fee for Lingo as well.
Monthly charges for world plan: Lingo is cheaper than vonage
Voice quality: Vonage is slightly better than Lingo. Lingo is ok too.
Customer service: Vonage is better than Lingo
Contract Period: Vonage 1 year. Lingo 2 years
Plan selections: Lingo has more plan selections.
Cheapest plan: Lingo $7.95/month for 250 minutes america plan. Vonage $17.99/month for 500 minutes US plan
