I work in CA, my I140 is approved from NSC.
But the lawyer sent the 485 to TSC.
I just went over the I-485 form and it clearly says to send the I-485 employment based applications to NSC
Employment-based adjustment of status.
File all employment-based adjustment of statusapplications at the following address:
USCIS Nebraska Service CenterP.O. Box 87485Lincoln, NE 68501-7485
Did my lawyer screw up?
No, there are two theories, usually if your I-140 was approved from TSC, then 485 gets filed there. Most of the 485's got to Texas these days. Now if it was send in any of them, they usually forward it to the right center.
I am from WA, mine I-140 was filed in TSC and so was my 485. They have different clauses like if you file concurrently, if your I-140 was approved and soo on.. so what is given online is not very clear. Don't worry, things will be fine. If you feel you are confused, always call USCIS and they will provide you the input.
Not an attorney, just an observation and reading. I know lot of people filed in NSC and they got forwarded by NSC to TSC!

If every EB3 is ported to EB2 then EB2 will retrogress to 2001 and EB3 will become current.

Hello everyone,
My current project is ending. My client company has offered to take me full time and I am considering H1 transfer or using my EAD. Here is my Q:
The client company is small. Will that be an issue? Is there a minimum requirement on how big the company has to be able to use EAD safely?
Thanks

I agree with the thought that with the critical mass of 10,000 and growing ppl, it is a matter of time when such political organizations contact us for support in terms of both:
1) Our ability to influence our fellow Indian American Citizens (relatives) to support an organization
2) Our ability to generate monetary support.
However, rather than such organizations approaching us, we have to be proactive in making these political organization aware of our ability to contribute. Our strenght in numbers, and our ability to influence and support has to be evident and communicated. The NY/NJ chapter is making some effort to contact our senators/congressman, but it has fallen to deaf ears.
My question is that can a senior member of IV team approach these policital parties, just like other Indian groups are approaching, and showcase our strength (support and money).
Also, are there any IV offical letter heads that can be used while faxing meeting requests to political parties.

First of all, no need to be so concerned. Also this is not unique situation.
Just apply for I140 for the EB3 (the labor you just got approved).
Once you get the EB3 I140 approved, you have 2 ways to port the PD:
1. Wait for EB2 to be corrent for year 2003(for the PD of your EB3). when its current, apply the 485 with your EB2 I140 and a copy of the EB3 I140 requesting the PD tarnsfer. Basically, your lawyer need to keep a cover letter in very bold letters that your application uses the PD of 2003 based on the EB3 I140 (copy of which need to be attached).
2. Send a request to the service center where your EB2 I140 is approved requesting to update your I140 approval notice with the new PD date. You need to send a copy of the EB3 I140.
The option 1 is the most commonly used procedure. How ever, if the PD is not current, you may use option 2. The option 2 may take time and the lawyer should send the PD transfering details in case of an RFE.
YOU NEED TO PROCEED WITH FILING THE I140 FOR THE EB3 AND WAIT FOR THE APPROVAL. THE PD CAN BE PORTED ONLY AFTER YOU GET THE EB3 I140 APPROVED.
My main concern though is with the chances of approval of I140 with EB3 category LC since I already got I140 approved in higher category (EB2) with the same company.
My company's lawyer said that since you already have I140 approved for EB2 category it is not possible or easy or risky (can't remember exactly what she said) to justify why we are going down from EB3 category to EB2 category.

If the employer did not pay you salary that he agreed to pay then you could complain to DOL. You stand a sure chance to get paid if you bring this to DOL's notice. You can do this anonymously. DOL would also slap your employer with a fine and he would be banned from hiring H1-B workers for few years.

That information is not true based on what we know and we stick to our assertion that a solution that gives us relief has been worked out and a lawsuit will not be needed.
AILA/AILF is free to file its lawsuit if it feels the need to do that, however we have been hearing about them filing the lawsuit since July 2nd. And if they are so sure that lawsuit is the only way that solution will come out, then why dont we see the lawsuit yet ? After all, private parties and smaller lawfirms have filed lawsuit so what's the hold-up at AILA/AILF if they are so sure that no solution is possible without lawsuits ?
Logiclife - I think it was a great idea to delete your post above - I truly think that the efforts of IV need to be commended but lets not forget that it was equally a combined effort of ALL stakeholders involved. Lets be humble during this hour of aniticipation.

Also, did you know we have some action items? and did you notice some people donate time and money?
Winner - Thanks for the recommendation. You should have stopped right there. I ask questions to understand how it functions and whats going on. If you dont know the answer. Just be quiet. Stop making smartass comments. I dont have time go back and forth on it.

1) my and wife air ticket to india for visa stamping.
2) All visa fees
3) all hotel exp.
4) All attorney and USCIS fees .
but check with your CPA .
Jeezz.. travel to India? Is this personal or business travel? If business didn't you get paid for international travel?
I guess everything related to conducting your business can be itemized as tax deductable.

They would however have to disclose that period of out of stay when they file the GC as G325 A asks for all status history. In other words, you will get screwed.
Whoever has some approval by means of luck or fluke does not make it the law. They will take the bite when time comes. A COS is not the way to go. A visa stamp or travel and re-entry may be a better way and note that it does not erase any earlier out of stay period.

This sound like a good idea...our first option is to attend the rally. But if for some reason we are not able to make it...we can identify a place in all the states on the same day to show support for the DC rally.. I tried to find someone in Buffalo...but noone responded..dont know whether I will be able to attend the rally in DC.
I know some of you will be attending the Rally in DC on Sep 18th.
But most wont be attending the rally in DC on the 18th. Wouldnt it be good if the people who are not able to attend the DC rally conduct a rally in Texas at the same day.
This way, there will be a multi pronged effect. In fact, it would have an even greater effect if simultaneous rallies are held in other places too. Like
West Coast (Bay area )
Midwest (Chicago)
Texas (one of the major cities - Dallas, Austin or Houston)
Think of all the local media attention this gets & also the ripple effect into national media.
Any thoughts ??

Years and years of waiting? no kidding. Look at my priority date. And there are people waiting before me. You used a pre-approved labor and have been waiting in the GC queue from what 2006? Dude, in today's world, a reasonable wait for eb3-is anywhere between 10-15 years and eb2 is atleast 5-6 years. I am not mad that you used a pre-approved labor, though in my personal opinion, its a taboo. I am just saying you are lucky enough that you may get your green card much quickly than people like us who have been waiting atleast 8-10 years and trust me, people like your case, usually should be happy.

Just wanted to bump this post in case people missed it. I'm surprised it didn't receive more attention.
We've been looking to a piecemeal bill that addresses EB concerns, and this one seems to be just what we asked for. The text of the bill is not out yet. But DV gives out 50k visas every year, and if those are redirected to EB, we'd be golden. And since they are already talking about EB, if we can somehow manage to inject recapture into this bill, I think it would bve a real chance to wipe out the EB backlog completely.
What u think guys?

Actually GC on L1 can be really much faster because GC processing on L1 comes under special EB1 category. So if you are willing to take risk of loosing job on L1. I will recommend to go for GC under L1.
Hi greeta,
I am not sure about time frame for GC but FREEDOM is more important for me. The market is not good, if you loose the job in L1 then you have to leave
to your home country and cannot transfer your visa. If it's H1 you can always do that.
If at all there is a difference in processing times for GC for L1, i don't see any drastic difference. Instead of 6 years it may be 5 years (6 years for GC? Are you kidding me?). No big deal.
Good luck.
Rgds,
Kris
