Oh well... No one ever said life is fair! :)
The issue here is, USCIS is a government agency. They are incapable of making a subjective determination of a person's capability. All they go by is the degree certificate which can be seen on a piece of paper.
As per INA/USCIS, many of the following won't qualify for EB2:

I got FP notice on 8/14 with appointment date on AUG 31. My application received on 7/2 and notice date of 8/2.
NSC sent the notice to me and to my attorney.
Hope this helps.

One of friends got advice from a tax consultant about the 401K withdrawal question you have. The best approach in this case would be to phase out the withdrawal amounts over a period of successive years. When you are in India, you are not earning US income. So say if you take 10K the first year, it will be considered income earned in US for which you have to pay tax. Since 10K is below the standard deduction amt, you will not have to pay any tax. The penalty will still apply as you are breaking the 401K.

Consult a good Lawyer. I think there is some rule that you apply 485 for your spouse within 6 months of your 485 approval for her to join you.

In our case, the primary applicant has received FP but the dependent has not yet received, has this happened to anyone?
I called Customer Service and now they ask that we wait 180 days from the time the case is transferred to NSC before enquiring about it !
My spouse got the FP but I'm waiting. I'm the primary. I opened 2 SRs but only my wife got the FP, whereas I got a notice to basically wait. god knows

In my view It is as important as anything else for a EB organization. We should
especialy be careful with hard country limit and other related issues, It can take a turn for worse and end up EB organizations with different national backgrounds fighting for a slice in a pie rather than getting it bigger enough to hold everyone.
Ethnic diversity is good for IV, and we should encourage everybody to join regardless of their origin!
AAPI is not an EB related organization - it is a professional organization like the AMA, but all of its members are of Indian origin!
AAPI and its President agreed to this role / endorsement after they were approached for their support. Some doctors who are members of IV, are also members of AAPI. In return, they will not be getting anything - what can IV give an organization that is over 25 years old? Their meetings are attended by all kinds of lawmakers - including Presidents (of the US)! It would be foolish to not want their help - but then IQ scores are not a prerequisite for posting on IV Forums!
BTW, only docs who are affected are from India & China - all docs fall under EB2! (And, also STEM!)
FYI - doctors who worked to advance IV's goals travelled on their expense, even cross-country, to attend an AAPI meeting and it proved very fruitful in many ways to advance IV's causes. When this meeting was being held, the STEM provisions had already been included in all drafts - and these docs did not need to do anything else! Yet, these docs travelled to try & advance all of IV's goals!
If somebody has objections to country quota limit removal - take it up with the Core group & rest of IV!
We need help from everybody in this fight! AAPI can only help IV, not the other way around!
I do not understand these misgivings about AAPI's endorsement at all - am I missing something? This endorsement came after a lot of effort from a lot of people, and was actually initiated at the request of key members of the Core Group!

I guess EB3 will finally cross 2001 barrier in the next bulletin.
For Eb2, it will be like the new EB3. Just too many cases were filed in EB2 after 2005.
Good luck to everyone.:)
What is the use? EB3 had crossed into 2003 last year. Then they moved it back to 2001. Which means that they have a lot of applications pending from 2001, 2002.

Hi,
I am in bit of a situation and trying to sort my options. I got my EAD, last month. Also took care of finger printing and received AP documents also. I 485 was filed in July 07. My I-140 is not yet approved.I am accepted to school in france for one year business course, starting Jan and ending Dec 08. Max I can fly back few times from France to US, for few days (In case there is rule for not staying abroad for more than six months). Plea
I am planning to either
a) Submitmy resignation and leave US by end of Nov 07 OR
b) take Leave of Absence from my firm for 15 months.
Is there a way I can continue my GC processing, factoring that I will be out of states for whole of next year.
Your suggestions are sincerely appreciated
Thanks,
Alp

The Process of giving Birthright citizenship is a law called Jus Soli(14th Amendment) which was implemented in 1900's . Numbersusa and others are fighting to change the Jus soli to jus sanguinis which gives citizenship based on the child's parents Status to reduce the "Numbers".India Abolished Jus Soli in 1987 and dosent offer Birthright citizenship. I think going this Route to discuss the possibility to fight for parents naturalisation based on child's status will make us no different from Illegal Immigrants.
belive it or not, I knew that. I mean the part about the US, not the part about India as I don't hail from there.
The point that I was trying to make but did not state clearly enough was that I feel that when one has a political agenda whether it is pro or anti immigration, children should be kept out of it. Labeling children like anchor babies is dehumanizing. I believe that when kids are involved, as human beings, everyone should always be concerned about their best interest rather than what our political view.
This is why I hate the term anchor babies. The antis are willing to even dehumanize kids if it fits with their political view.

It will be better if you use your in house staff for this. No need tp pay lawyer fees. Afterall its just a form. For straight forward cases, your staff can do all the documentation and I-129 filing.
Actually %age vs salary depends on your billing multiple. The % age may work out better for employees if overtime is involved and employees get to charge overtime unless you are paying overtime to salaried employees as well.

Any idea of how many number of I-140s ? May be 50000+. It looks like it might take at least an year to process these I-140s in NSC/TSC. TSC is faster when compared to NSC, where the priority dates has not been moving, at least for EB1/EB3. What do you say ?
A trivial question: Do they process I-140s based on labor filed date (priority) or I-140 filed date ?
Hopefully they will reinstate PPS for I-140 after they are done with receipting the July/Aug applications.
Good luck to everyone.

Hello Everybody,
Due to budget restrictions, I may be getting laid off from my company soon. I have filed for I-485 and have received EAD. I am currently on H1B. I have a citizen friend who runs his own company. He has no employees. He does pretty much all work by him self or get it done by hiring outsouced help whenever needed. He has a legitimate company - but he does not have big revenue (May be 100K/ year). Would it be okay if I join his company on EAD to get my GC going or should I look for a firm that employs lot of people and has sizable revenues. What (if any) are any risks?
Thank you.
Some scenarios to consider
1. If 140 is approved and its been 6 months since date of 485 application and your company who sponsored is not revoking 140, then ability to pay might not matter and you don't care since you can use AC21
2. If 140 is approved and it has not been 6 months since 485 application date and you are on good terms with and your employer is not going to revoke your 140 , take an unpaid vacation to fill the 6 months gap if you can, then you are still safe to use AC21.
3. If your 140 is not approved but you have passed the 180 days litmus test and you use AC21 to move to another employer then the ability to pay might come in to picture if any RFE is done by USCIS.
4. If 140 is not approved and you have not passed 180 days its a variation of the 2nd case and if you can pull it off you can use AC21 and work elsewhere later.
there might be other scenarios but consider each of them carefully before making the decision. While it might seem a simple decision having come so far in your journey you don't want to make as wrong decision only to rue it.
- good luck
