my employer does not share the I-140 status with me...

If your I-140 pending then you need employement letter. Its not a required initial evidence. So they dont reject your petition.At worst, they would issue an RFE. So chill :)
From where can we see the list of required initial evidence versus just the initial evidence?
Thanks

I will concur that IV should develop a strategy on how to best approach the professors who were on the panel today. The support of alumni or current students of the identified universities is a great idea, but let's not forget to contact fellow immigrant professors who could put in a good word for us.

I finished my 6 month period and was planning to move on AC21 to a different company and the employer is threatening me that he would withdraw my GC application if I move. I'm little worried and I've read some posts that after the 6 month period and if your I140 is approved (which in my case is true) the employer can't do anything about it. Can anyone share their experiences if they went through a similar thing ?:mad:

Let's work on a 1-2 page "Rally/Event Organization Handbook" or checklist of sorts to make it easier for others across the country to do such rallies.
While we're at it, throw in a MS Project template as well.... OK, getting ahead of myself, but seriously the handbook/checklist is doable and worth doing, will be appreciated by many long after this thread dies out.

Don't try and plan this in a week - with more time, planning will be a lot easier.
Re PA - I totally agree. I suddenly realized a day or 2 beforehand that it would be a good idea to get one, and drona kindly volunteered to bring it all the way from LA.
For those planning future rallies, I'm sure we can prepare a list of things we learned from today's rally and it's hasty planning!

Hello,
My H1B expired in May 2008 and have been working for my GC sponsoring Employer on my EAD since then. I wanted to know if I can do another part time job using EAD. Is it ok to work on 2 Jobs with an EAD?
Thanks
You are correct about change of status from H1 to EAD and EAD to H1. But, one can not be on H1 status while using EAD for another job. It does not matter if another job is full-time or not.
Once EAD is used, H1 status is gone until
1. Change of status is filed and approved
OR
2. Reentry on H1/H4/L1/L2 visa
*** Not a legal advise ***

My case is something like this
1. Applied for I-485 in July 2007.
2. Got I-140 approved in Oct 2007.
3. June 2010 joined new company using EAD and applied AC21 on oct 2010.
Recetly got email update on I-140 saying
we mailed a notice acknowledging withdrawal of this application or petition I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER. If you have not received the notice within 30 days of April 26, 2011, contact our customer service at 1-800-375-5283. If at some point in the future you wish to pursue the benefits provided by this application or petition, you must file a new application along with all applicable fees and evidence.
At the same time got email for RFE on I485.
I am not sure what is going that, what these mail suggest and what should be my action item. Please suggest I really very much worried now.

Let's say I switch to another employer using AC21 while waiting for I-485 approval. Then, I-485 is denied due to a simple reason like insufficient funds. Do I have to go through the GC process all over again, or can I just fix the problem and re-file I-485 using the old priority date?
thx,
As per my company lawyer 485 cannot be denied on insufficent funds/ability to pay etc ..this check is made at I-140 stage.
As per him 485 can be denied for health reasons, criminal background reasons or non compatibility of current job with the labor details...does anyone have a different opinion?

We also were in the same boat EAD / AP / H-1 went to India, did not get our H-1s stamped, at the port of entry we were only asked for AP and finger prints were taken (good thing as now I have my finger prints current), Immigration officer looked at the valid H1 visa but did not do anything, I did not want to come back on EAD.
However looks like AP is the substitute for your H-1 B stamping in the passport.
Hope this helps.

U will come across rude IO, VO, DMV etc... officers more often in coming days. You may not 'individuallly' be able to counter them because their superiors may be sympathetic towards them.
Be very polite when they turn rude to you. Talk to them well, and politely ask for their name, and describe your incident to the complaints cell.
If this pattern is repeating and is happening to everyone, then collective action can be taken and will be effective.

You can use a previously approved I140 for a new case BUT please let us know that this is not applicable globally.
a) If you refile a new petition from the same company, you have no problems as your old labor still is yours.
b) If you refile from another company and if the previous company uses up your labor and files I140 for another person, the I140 date is no more yours.
c) If you refile from another company and if the previous company revokes the I140, the date is gone.
My company is planning to move me to another location and I fall in category (a) as of now. When I came to know about it , I did get the idea of jumping ships and keeping my PD but soon found about (b) and (c) from another lawyer. Maybe I'm still wrong.... Can someone confirm if (b) and (c) is correct interpretation on my part ?

Have you signed a non-compete agreement with your current employer. If so, I would suggest you to consult a attorney before taking any decision. You can call your local attorneys association and ask them to refer an attorney. Using this method you might get a free first consultation for 1 hour.

good joke ..but of late, I wonder if we will have any campaigns in the future or are we resigned to our fate ?
This is certainly not a joke based on my experience.
I travelled to India on May 1st and had to attend for H1B VISA renewal at Chennai consulate on May 4th. I did not have enough time to take any print outs in India and so decided to get all the documents printed and be ready to go to the embassy when I land in India. With all the rumors and embassies requesting more documentation, I started colecting all the documents for the last 9 yrs I have been in in the US and they weighed total of 5 lbs all together and since I was carrying them as part of the carry-on, the total weight exceeded the limits and had to request/explain about the US VISA documentation to the guy at the couter and he was knowledgable enough to understand the situation and allowed the documents.
When I went to the Chennai consulate, it took a while for me to get the security cleared, since they take out all of your documents w/o any commonsense and consideration for all the effort you put into organizing your documents. My advice to people going to Chennai consulate is not to waste time organizing your documents. You can do them when you are past the security. Once the secuirty was cleared, the interview process was smooth and the VISA was issued. Not a single document I carried was asked except for I-797, I-129 and LCA and the interview was for less an a minute.
I will be travelling back on May30th through JFK and again with 5 lbs on documents, sorry its 5.01 lbs since I have my new US VISA in my passport now :). Hope everything goes well at the POE.

Wow! This is a great finding! I've read that page, but never noticed the Secretary of DHS specifically mentioned Pre-Application of AOS. Now that they do have this in their mind, can we start working on that? I'd love share to share a few thoughts I have on it:
From the lessons we learnt from the past, the most important thing for this admin fix to fly is comprimise: there must be kind of restriction for the pre-application AOS. A few examples I could think of are:
- The person has been in the country LEGALLY for more than a number of years, OR
- The PD are more than a certain number years old, OR
- I-140 has been approved, OR
- Must have MS or higher for a US college (just for argument's sake, please don't flame me).
The key is to not allow everyone to file pre-application or it'll be drown in a media storm and draw backfires. Yet it gives you a certain promise that you'll be able to file pre-application once you are here for a certain period of time, so everyone has hope and those who has suffered more would have an almost certain chance to do so.
IV core, should we work on this? This is the first time we see pre-application of AOS appears in official file and I believe it's a great opportunity.
It is very much possible and infact in one of the DHS memo's it has been clearly mentioned that they are looking for possible pre-application filing procedure for adjustment cases... All we have do is request DHS secretary... I am not sure about the success rate, but we can atleast try.
Please see high lighted text below from http://www.dhs.gov/ynews/releases/pr_1233353528835.shtm
Legal Immigration Benefit Backlogs. What progress has been made in reducing the significant backlogs that had developed in the adjudication of naturalization petitions and adjustment of status (green card) applications? Which regional offices still lag behind in making progress toward target processing times, and what specific steps are recommended for providing priority resources to those offices?
Please provide an assessment of information-sharing with the Department of State�s Bureau of Consular Affairs on projected adjustment caseloads, to be used by that Bureau in setting each month�s cutoff dates on waiting lists for immigration categories that are limited by a yearly quota. What steps have been taken and what further steps are recommended to make sure that the full quota of permanent immigration spaces is used each fiscal year? What regulatory or legislative changes (including a possible pre-application filing procedure for adjustment cases) are recommended to facilitate caseload planning and make optimum use of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudication capacity?
