I did not feel like signing along for two reasons: we are not US citizen yet, and I consider myself citizen of the world and will always be. I do not aspire to become citizen of the United States of America.
Even when Americans sang their national anthem in a church, I felt not right. Churches are not supposed to be linked to states. There should be no country boundary with in the Christian world.
There should be no country boundary within the world we want to be build either. If the United States go to war with your country of birth, who will you side with? Will the United States trust you?
You have a point - yes, we are all different nationalities, as a matter of fact we even waved the American Flags.
The only reason I can see is - we have embraced America. Here we are fighting a political battle and we do not even have the right to vote.

Stay in the US
I went through similar circumstances and finally I found that US was the better choice
Thanks gcpool for your reply. My question though is that is it pretty much guaranteed that the green card will come through after the 140 clears? I ask because just today the USCIS website updated to say that they sent out a RFE for our 140.
The risk/reward matrix for my situation is as follows:
Stay in USA/green card comes = most assurance of good job and pay.
Go to Canada/green card denied= harder to find job and less pay, but at least not deported.
Go to Canada/green card comes = I'll survive, but there's the possibility that I'll be kicking myself for a long time.
Stay in USA/green card denied = I'll probably jump off a building. :D
So you see it pretty much all depends on how much assurance there is of getting the green card after 140 clears.

when I reached DC on Monday. Countless "Airborne" tabs in water during the day kept me going for the lawmaker meetings(I did 95% of the talking), the reception on Monday evening and the rally.
I cannot explain the experience felt at the rally. There were infants, small children and many many strollers. I took pictures of all of them (will upload during the day).
I was thrilled to meet "macaca". "guyfromsg" was awesome with his spirit all throughout. Chandu sported dark glasses and looked awesome and he was still charged to get more people to the rally.
It is very unfortunate that many of you just squandered such a great opportunity to be part of history. The 1500 numbers floating around is not true. There were more people than that. We will know soon from IV core.
Greg Siskind sported his IV TShirt and he was proud to be taking part in the rally. He spent a lot of time with IV.
"NeedHelp" came with her 3-4 year old daughter who is quite sweet and sat at the first row at the gathering on the lawns of the US Capitol.

You put it in excellent words. Hopefully we see more diversity in future &
concerted effort to get to it.
The IV is about issues/problems of employment based immigrants, and the goal is to get support as much as possible from every corner in this country to further the cause. Everyone who supports this cause fit in to some category (within legal limits - pro, anti, this group, that lobby, this ethincity, that nationality, etc.), and that does not mean we are promoting something or have preferences for a group. In my opinion any support (with in the legal framework) to the cause of IV from any corner in this country is welcome and should be appreciated.

But this seems to be untrue in the (sanz72 ) case quoted in my previous post on this thread. USCIS denied the I485 application of the applicant and he had to file MTR and wait for a long time to have it opened. One can only imagine the frustration and anxiety he must have suffered during that time.
MTRs do not work all the time as per the experience of some people.
Moral of the story-- GC journey for legal high skilled people is very tough and luck plays an important role in getting a GC.

You can apply for extension. Fees are not applicable for extension of status. If it involves status transfer e.g H4 to H1, then you need to pay the fees. I extended my wife, and daughters status just by filing the paper work and got the new I-94.
I did a blunder by not renewing my passport and travelled to India in August 2007, while returning to US , CBP officer in Chicago issued my I94 only till the expiration of Passport , which is March 2008 . My VISA was valid till Jan 2010
I tried to argue but no use his quote "You can not stay in this country with expired passport" as if there is definitive rule
Irony is I travelled to Canada in July 2007 and at that time my I94 was issued till Jan 2010 . It depends on the officer .
Moral of the Stroy "Renew your passports as soon as you can"
I went to Chicago airport after renewing my passport to renew my I94 , but the officer bluntly denied and asked me to visit USCIS local office . Again just few months back my friend was able to change his I94 in the same airport , looks like I m not that lucky
I contacted my Lawyer on the situation and he suggested either to apply for I94 extension with CIS or travel to Canada . Applying with CIS with 300$ fee doesnt make much sense to me so I decided to fly to Canada and got my new I94 -- Yahoooo atlast valid till Jan 2010
Again in the Tornoto airport officer offered me to keep the same I94 as I did not leave US for more than 30 days , After few scary moments I requested that I needed the new I94 and explained my situation and got it.

A friend told me about the E category visa for Australian nationals. Is this true?
According to him, if you become an Australian national, you can use the E-visa.
Has anyone migrated to Australia and returned to US successfully on a E-visa?
Has anyone also applied successfully for a green card on a E-visa?
How long does it take to get Australian nationality?
I think you can apply as Australina national but your priority date is dependent upon your birth country not the country of acquired citizenship. I have a friend who is an Australian citizen (born in India) and is stuck in retrogression.

Thanks for all the info,
For AC21, I have read you don't need approve I-140, only approvable is good enough, new employer no need file new LC, no need ability to pay just have to be the same titile and similar pay. But I still not clear about self-employ.
Last question,
If I were to go with I-140 premium, and get approve let says October 15.
Is it going to do any good because 485 is even worse, right now is processing only Dec 2, 2005 and move slower than turtle. That's why I need to know somebody who get 485 approve from Nebraska to say something here. But I know basically people who already got 485 approved will never come back to spend time on this forum. But if you know friends or anybody got 485 approved please write something like Priority date and 485 receipt date.
Thanks again
As all the I-140's from CA and VT were transferred to NSC in April so it is slow. I guess they are currently working on cases filed in the month of April. If your I-140 is not approved by December then you might want to consider converting it into Premium Processing so that you can avail the benefits of AC21 once your I-485 is pending for more than 180 days.

I have changed jobs after 180 days of filing my AOS, although it's in the same of similar classification and my attorney from the new company informed me that time that USCIS is generally very liberal with the "same or similar" classification, as long as the job duties don't change totally.
1) Do I have to ask Company B to apply for anything relating to my GC? I want to make sure that they know and agree to all costs associated with the paperwork? Dont want to end up paying from my pocket as I have heard in a few cases before
-- They may want to file an AC-21 letter ( stating that they have permanently employed you for this position for this salary yada yada yada ... ) and definitely a G28 to change representation on your cases in case of any RFE and other communication by USCIS.
2) I believe since my I-140 is approved for more than 180 days or actually my I-485 being filed for more than 180 days, I am allowed to move, correct?
-- Yes, albeit to a "same or similar" job.
3) Since my I-140 is approved and I have an EAD, can USCIS/Company A cause it to be revoked? OR it doesn't apply to my case?
-- USCIS has no business revoking your I-140, it's your previous employer's property which they may revoke at any time ( due to various issues, not necessarily to get back at you )
4) Do I need to ask Company A to maintain anything? Or just keeping good relations with them is enough :)
-- Keeping a good relation never hurts, but company A doesn't have to maintain anything for you. Good luck in your search !

We cannot predict the future but we can predict with some given statistics!
If people who got their AP from NSC could just menion how long it took for them to receive ap document it would be statistical and we can there upon make some judgements !!
Noone is asking for exact dates from USCIS. We are all still very much in a limbo and this is just for getting some heads up!!

Does that mean I am screwed? My package got delivered this AM at Mesquite, TX as per the tracking receipt.
Will Texas forward my application to vermont or do I need to send the package seperately to Vermont?
Thanks much!

Just curious - Have you heard of a case being rejected just because the salary was higher than the original LC ?? (Assuming job title/description are same or similar). I think it will be almost impossible for them to reject just because is higher!! Govt. cannot dictate the upper limit of salaries (in private sector).
nope, so far I have not come across a single case where this has been an issue (which was one reason I went ahead with the move). However there have been inklings about USCIS possibly taking a tougher position on this in the future.
For instance see:
http://www.murthy.com/news/n_porret.html
Salary Considerations for the New Job
�MurthyDotCom
Attorneys in our firm are frequently asked about the impact of a difference in salary when changing jobs under AC21. We are also asked what "same or similar" really means in order for one to be eligible under AC21 portability. USCIS policy memoranda, particularly the May 12, 2005 Memo referenced above, have been quite favorable on these matters. However, in that same memo, the USCIS stated that the forthcoming AC21 regulations "may take a more restrictive position than this memorandum." Therefore, while issues such as salary differences do not appear to be problematic at present, foreshadowing indicates that this could change when the regulations are released at some future date.
From my research I have found so far that it will be hard for them to put a dollar or percentage figure on the amount the salary can vary. The best they can do is perhaps put it in some range based on prevailing wages. Other than that, salary itself is a very market driven thing. I hope they dont, and I dont think it buys them much. The DOT codes and job-duties description should be what they should look at (or actually they should broaden the allowed job changes considering how long the wait has become now-a-days).
Lets see what happens. Main trouble is like what Murthy mentions in that article a little later: if changes happen, they are retroactive...

Help!!
Is any company filing new PERM applications in this economy? I was told that my current company (a really big one at that) is holding off PERMs indefinitely because we had some layoffs- indefinitely!
My H1 runs out in Oct 2010, and I heard that I have only till end of Nov 2009 (including what I found out is called recapture time) to file.
Now, I found out that my company have do newspaper/online ads for positions to demonstate that they tested the labor market etc etc (all stuff that I heard from the attorney), and I got the impression that she has no idea when they are going to do this and start filing again, and I got something like a best of luck look from her. I am freaked out now.
Any of you out there know if any companies are still filing PERMs? I am on a EB-2 in Software.
Also, if I join a new company, can I file a PERM immediately? Or is it just best of luck to me?
Looks like I have to look into a Canada visa / Australian or UK visa or better go back and spend sometime in India. Any thoughts from any of you more enterprising folks out there? I have little knowledge of the process (my fault!) but I am stressed and freaked now.
You probably need to find another employer. Big companies will pull back the perm when they start layoffs. I had this experience during the dotcom crash. It took my company 3 years before they started doing the GC again.
Relax and don't get stressed.
