Willgetgc2005, I can understand withdrawal of an I-140 that is under processing. However an employer can *NOT*withdraw an "Approved I-140". The AC-21 was brought in exactly for this reason to improve competetiveness. Yes, the 6 months after approval of I-140 and pending I-485 is there. I am talking about after 6 months of filing 485. USCIS does not even have a form for filing AC-21. Most lawyers say one does not need to file it. But one is free to "file AC-21" by letting USCIS know the job is similar to that described in the labor petition and that the new employer is now sponsoring your green card.
BRB2,
What u have stated is factually incorrect. .... The employer can still withdraw you 140 and then use the labor for someone else or keep the labor. Once 140 is withdrawn, your PD is lot. You don't have a PD. ....If anyone has any update on this , please share. Many lives are on hold bcos of this.

WASHINGTON, July 31 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Software and Information Industry Association (SIIA), the principal trade association of the software and online content industries, today called on congressional leaders to support H.R. 5882, bipartisan immigration reform legislation sponsored by Representatives Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) and Jim Sensenbrenner (R-WI).
"The software and information industries are a major driver of the U.S. economy, yet these industries are facing a workforce skills shortage that has risen to crisis level," said David LeDuc, SIIA Director of Public Policy. "The bipartisan legislation introduced by Representatives Lofgren and Sensenbrenner would provide critical workforce relief to American businesses by allowing foreign-born highly skilled workers to continue to working in the United States."
H.R. 5882 would help reduce the U.S. workforce shortage by making available to highly skilled foreign-born workers those employment-based green cards from previous years that have gone unused because of government processing delays.
As part of its effort to support immigration reform, SIIA sent a letter to the House of Representatives today, in which SIIA President Ken Wasch says:
"On behalf of the Software & Information Industry Association (SIIA) and its more than 550 member companies, I urge your support for H.R. 5882, bipartisan legislation that would provide critical workforce relief for U.S. businesses. H.R. 5882 would help to alleviate the current U.S. skills shortage by enabling much-needed, highly-skilled foreign workers to contribute to our innovation-based economy...
"The software and information industries are a major engine of growth for the U.S. economy, and are among the fastest growing and highest paying industries in the country...Yet, the software and information industries face a workforce skills shortage that is rising to crisis proportions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that demand for computer software engineers alone will increase by almost 450,000 jobs by the year 2016, to a total of nearly 1.2 million.
"In the Information Age, intellect and innovation give the United States its competitive edge in the global marketplace and make a highly educated and skilled workforce essential. If H.R. 5882 is not enacted this year, thousands of the talented professionals that currently work for American employers -- many of whom were educated at U.S. colleges and universities -- will be forced to leave to take jobs with competitors abroad."

I would like to add here that I really thank IV Core members for having taken this initiative, It is not easy to take up such a huge cause and try to drive it to completion, just look at the state chapters so few members have signed up and are taking an active part, we are the people who are responsible for making this happen and we should take active part in the efforts to achieve our goals.

Well i had the same problem but i was able to recover by going to Internet Explorer Temp folder. You will be able to see the PDF in the Temp folder only if u tried opening it in IE but failed to save it.
Another option is wait for the receipt from USCIS (which take 5 to 7 days). Take a copy of it and attach your documents and send it.

As of today there are some 60-70K pending PERM applications, if 70% of them approve and we assume 1.2 dependent application we can see 90-100K I-485 application in EB2/EB3.
Well you assumption of 80K approvals in next 2 years is too low. We don't know how the economy would be in 6/12 months and then how many new PERM applications we will see and How DOS will approved these PERM applications.
If any of the dynamics changes your date may not be current in next 2 years.
Please Stop this useless converstation.

guys,
I am still waiting for response from agency.
But in the mean time this is what i plan to do (my current EAD expires in jun,08)
1. I will file appeal for 140 and also file MTR for 485 if they deny my 485 as decision isn't considered final according to yates memo.
2. Additionally, memo says there has to be sufficient evidence for appeals to approe case. Now i did show i was paid proffered wages, but the only objectionable thing I see is that I was paid $6k in 1099 continuously for 4 yrs (02-05). My labor salary is 85k. now if USCIS says 1099 is not accepted can we still say that employer did have money to pay me, although it was paid in 1099.
Any suggestions as i am planing to gather evidence in case i have to get into appeal process.
thanks for the support.
The earlier posting by lacycis was incorrect.
unlawful presence starts accruing from 485 denial date. motion to reopen gives no legal right to stay in usa. Yates wrote a memo that in concurrent filing cases if 140 is denied then all collateral applications are denied/invalid (ie., ead/ap, 485), unless 140 gets approved again. However; if it is denied again then the unlawful presence is from date of 485 denial.
If one is legally here in h-1b then the only benefit you can get from 140 denial is to get h-1b extensions since the 140 denial is not considered final until all appeals have been exhausted. However; you are not on h-1b any longer and you are not appealing 140 but rather a motion to reopen on 485. 485 is not appealable to administrative appeals office.
DO NOT OVERSTAY BY MORE THEN 180 DAYS FROM 485 DENIAL DATE. IT WILL HAVE LETHAL CONSEQUENCES FOR YOU IN THE FUTURE.

If the person is already visiting and not contributing do you think you can convince them...? You cannot wakeup a person who is just pretending. There are lots of people coming here to post their issues and get answer. But don�t want to take part in anything until it�s affecting them or just have junk in their mind and call it as principle.
They find 100 lame excuses for not participating but could not even find one reason to participate. You are right if the person is not aware of IV�but what about people who are aware but wants others to work for their issues.
Your frustrations are somewhat justified.
As far as i see it IV serves 2 purposes ( i may be wrong here so feel free to correct me )
- First is Being a trove of free information and offering a free forum where people with similar issues can help each other out.
- Second is advocating for change to improve things for GC seekers
so there is no need to be frustrated if people are only doing the First and not the Second.
When i was on H1 i had no interest in the Second as advocating towards GC issues was irrelevant to me. Everyone has different reasons for not contributing ...if you truly know of 1000s of the reasons i would say lets make a list of those reasons...see what the top ten reasons are...and use that information to our advantage in the PR campaign :-) (i know its evil... but admit it..its a good idea ;-) )

Lets not question the existence of SS by the time that we retire. As it stands today, I understand from the postings that we would be able to claim our SS at the time we retire if we work 10 years in US. Correct?; Well I did not know that.
How about your 401K contribution? How does that work?
One important question to think of? - If you go back to your home country, for a person who has spent 5 years in US, what is the job title and the salary that he/she could expect back in his/her home country? How does the saving potential in his/her home country match up with his/her saving potential in US?
Entreprenuerial opportunities? Is US still an attractive place or your home country has more opportunities today?
Dont fret it dixie.. SS will be bankrupt by the time we retire :D :D
If somebody is here for 5 years and not going back solely because
of SSN is not worth in my opinion. But if one is here for 8+ years
it might be good working 2 more years and crossing the 10 year mark.
( And pray and pray that SS will not go bankrupt)

Most of the insurances will not pay for the immigration physical, but if you can go to a primary care physician for a routine history and physical as part of routine care he/she can check all the antibody titers, PPD, chest X Ray if needed, can give you shots if needed and this will be covered by the insurance depending on the plan. Then you can go for the immigration physical with those documents and can avoid paying for those extras.

I am EB3 India and I think the root cause of EB3 India backlog in too many applicants in EB3 India category. And the main reason for this is most of H1B visa holders are Indian. It is unfair that USCIS does not set a country limit on H1B but limits while granting GC. Now we can write as many letters or campaign about removing per country limit for GC, but I think no one is going to listen. Most of my Indian friends who got green cards/citizens do not care about our backlog/issues. Very soon our EB2 friends will be current and they will also stop caring for so called "broken immigration system". And media/american people/companies does not care about EB3 people's sufferings. But most of these people do read evey news regarding H1B. Hence I have a different idea of getting attention (please excuse me if this idea was talked previously).
- Do a campagain/Rally to impose a per country limit on H1B. We will demand only 7000 Indian H1B per year. At least the "lucky" future EB3 Indians will not face back log. I know lot of Future H1B applicants from India will not like it. But this is for their own good. They are better off not comming here and face immigration discrimination.
- I really want to see how companies get 65000 TALENTS from ROW. If the companies/govt push for no country limit on H1B, they have to justify why they need country limit while giving GC.
- If companies manages to get 65000 H1Bs from ROW, then the backlog will be on ROW.
- I hope this will gain media attention as the head lines in the news channel will say "Indian H1B techies are in the street to STOP more Indian H1Bs". And then we will tell our reasons.

Has most people here already got their Green Cards? It appears so looking at the lukewarm response here!
Make no mistakes. CIR is going to pass in a year or two with or without EB Recapture/Visa increases. If we continue down this path of inaction and expecting others to act on our behalf CIR will pass with just the H1B increase to mollify the business community.
Anyone not participating in the Rally, please don't whine here if CIR passes with no EB increases/recapture. Don't blame IV, then, for your inaction. You want to see the real person to blame, just look in the mirror.
