I am getting mentally prepared for much much longer wait.
Thanks
meaning you are also planning to marry a US citizen....nothing wrong
This trend will accelerate more in years to come.
When i first came in 1999 marrying us citizen was sort of heard of by IT folks.
by 2003 i was coming across so many cases of marrying us citizen.
among non indians its very common resulting in their PD being more recent.
In fact my friends who went for marrying citizen ...are way better placed in life.
It become so hard to marry from india now with contract jobs lasting short time and salary being so low after cut form h1b vendors. eventually teh pain will reach the point of yield.

Thank you for your advice. My last M.Sc. and Ph.D. is from the USA. My Ph.D. is about manufacturing of aircraft brakes with Honeywell.
EB1-B or EB-2 is more suitable for me?
what bothers me is that I am not cited in the literature yet and I do not have awards.
Thanks,
John
Since you have a PhD and reserach in Aircraft Braking Systems, which can be argued as aircraft safety and in national interest, you may qualify for NIW. It all depends upon you how well you argue your case as NIW and how good are your recommendations and support documentations. You need to get your papers published in reputed Journals and also get onboard of journal publication evaluations.
You also need a good lawyer (however you will end up doing 90% of work because of your unique field of research). However I would not recommend Murthy or Rajiv, because NIW is not their speciality. You need to go to a lawyers who have NIW and EB1 as speciality.
EB1 is not a good category for you, as of now, but it may change depending on your career progress.

Search immigration.com ("i-140 denied, urgent help please"). I went thru this, attorney was so-so, not experienced in handling cases like this as he is a small firm. So I went to one of the BIG firms and got it MTR'd and cleared in 3 weeks. I spent 3K, but never thought about it before or after.
While you work on backup options, dont just let go the current status that you got in 4-6 yrs.
The new attorney could easily make up for the pay.

Cool down dude, I can understand OPs frustrations, I am in same boat and see similar cases around, not that ead or ap is anything great, just that someone who applied before feels rejected seeing TSC giving out eads like cookies:)
When baby cries mom gives milk cup or some time slap. But they like each other. So nothing to cool down here. You need to face argument.
Even receipt is also not some thing great but for you question should be what is more critical at this time getting receipt or getting ead.
I guess every one can wait for EAD but every one need receipt first.

Curios, is your employer desi. Wait for sometime, tell him that you need to go to your home country and need receipt notice to use your AP in return. Catch is you have to use your EAD & AP after return.
There's no catch at all.....according to my lawyer. He said even if you come back on AP, you can still work on your H-1B so long as it's valid.
Thanks,

Guys got my FP and AP last nite. Check signature for more details.
The status of my Travel document on USCIS site has been following for a while -:
Application Type: I131, APPLICATION FOR USCIS TRAVEL DOCUMENT
Current Status: Document mailed to applicant.
On September 20, 2007 we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you get it, call customer service.
How long does it take for it to actually arrive??? Any idea??

Are we doing anything to get the support of orgs that are not community based ? I don't see how getting the support of an org based on an ethnic community "broadens the base".
Well, the actual goal is advancing our cause. This endorsement will actually raise awareness about our organization - I guess, that does not qualify as broadening the base for you! But, whether it broadens the base or not - it definitely advances our cause!
And, while somebody is actually doing something,what are you doing about advancing the cause?
This particular support actually helped advance our cause a lot, much more than can actually be revealed on Forums. So pipe down, and do something creative! Why don't you try to get the support of the non-ethnic organizations - call the IV core group to offer your services, and get cracking on it!

Haha. That is an accurate assessment at a 50-foot level. I was pretty disillusioned after a couple of years of working. A mixture of what the fuck am I doing, but not really knowing what to do, and all confused because I was at probably the biggest firm around and and a feeling of even if I switch, what's the point? And not having the balls to switch jobs, for the fear of throwing away what I had, mixed with personal struggles with life and not having the social life that I wanted.
In between all this, the desire to get the GC process kicked off came and went, esp. since I wanted to switch positions to a more people oriented role, and the feeling of gosh, do I want to stay in 6+ years in this job - maybe if I file, then I won't want to change jobs.
As you can see, even I am not sure what was going on there. But my personal life and acclimatizing has sorted itself out rather well of late, and I do want to stay here now that I have a really interesting life (and partly out of fear of throwing everything away and moving somewhere new).
Now, I know that IV is not a self-help trauma group, so I will cut short my story here, which has little to do with the raw facts of my immigration situation :)
And yes, I did not participate or know much about the visa process, or IV till recently, and am a recent need based participant, but I hope that does not stop anyone from contributing their ideas to help me out.
*** Also, to the previous poster (nojoke) who said that big companies usually hold off on perms, are you suggesting that I have a better chance at a smaller company then?
UPDATE: My company attorney suggested talking about this in April, and I am nervous about waiting till then in limbo - things are only going bad to worse, I might as well find a job at a place which will sponsor a PERM sooner rather than later.
I request you to PM me if you have any leads for such companies might still be a good bet for filing a PERM.
uhh..damn immigration process..

Hopefullegalimmigrant,
I am happy to see your posts and I am in to put all efforts required. There were some talks earlier about having a rally in DC. I think we should do that to get attention.
I have asked this question before but is this something IV can help us with ?
Thanks

Friends,
I just joined this portal and I am very impressed...., wish I had joined earlier....
If we can quickly put together some PPT presentations and our problems in immigration, we should rush it to President and PMO office in India and make a request to hand it over to Mr.Bush when he is visiting India....., It may be too late but we can give a shot.
What you think ?

For the August visa bulletin, USCIS gave all the extra quota to EB2. I don't think this is fair for all the EB3 people. I thougt the reason they gave all the quota to them was the EB2 included NIW. But NIW is just a small portion of EB2. Majority EB2 peopole are like EB3 working for companies and not necessarily important to give all the extra quota to them. If the policy continues, our EB3 will just become fake immigration. You don't know how long we can finalize our case. Gugs, please work together and let our voice to be heard by USCIS. Hope our organization can help us.
Fairness in immigration is a myth dude.
While we understand the plight of EB3 folks, EB2 ain't better either.
Have you ever read moral stories about "Unity is strength"?
We should focus on collective efforts to get Visa recapture, preparing for DC rally rather than rant on spill over topic!!

The words "unlawful misrepresentation" might be a big concern. Get in touch with an attorney asap. Either you gave a wrong answer in some document or your H1 filer did.

"One additional reason for making sure that you have a valid EAD at all times is so that you can claim unemployment benefits in the event you lose your job. H nonimmigrants do not qualify for unemployment insurance. If you have an EAD, however, and can be referred out for job interviews, you do qualify for UI, even if you don't yet have your green card."
The above is quite interesting. I saw people who were laid off and had question about applying for UI if they are on EAD and this answer explains it really well.

So sorry to read that story. I wish that family had gotten the help they needed at the right time. I wish he had talked to someone.
You've ever heard of kamikaze missions help by Japanese pilots during world war 2?
They were suicide missions to bomb American targets (like Pearl Harbor) knowing very well they will not come back alive. They would crash their planes into enemy targets laden with a lot of explosives.
Go figure!
In civilian world, there can never be a valid reason to take someone's life. The only exception I can think of is self defence. Or while defending someone who is under attack.
Military or any armed force is different; War is different.
People involved there are trained to follow orders. Their commanding officers give them orders to kill someone, and they follow those orders without question.
War itself is a sorry state brought upon the human kind by humans ourselves. And unfortunately, the commanding officers in charge of an armed force see even the men/women who make up the force as only a means for their objectives; and they use them as they deem necessary.
