I have an approved EB3 140 (PD Aug 2004) and have filed my 485 using it with Employer A.
With Employer B, I have an approved EB2 140, but the priority date is in 2007.
What is the process of porting the EB3 date to the EB2 140 and to change the 485 to the EB2 queue? Do I need to refile the 485 application?
I would not advise you to port, stick with eb3 as you are working with company A right ? if not then stick with eb2 PD.

The cheapest way will be to give some $50-75 to the immigrationpro.com attorney. They will answer your questions through email. At least you have some opinion to verify with. I would also suggest to go through the yellow pages and find immigration lawyers who give you first hour free consultation. Do not rely on people like me for the prefessional opinion. Even though we have good things in mind, we are not prefessional lawyers. Get 4-5 professional opinion and then you will automatically know what is the truth.
Best luck !

Hi All,
I just wanted to share my RFE regarding the "Experience Lettters"
I got an RFE on 1/23/2008 "Evidence of experience must be in the form of letter(s) from current or former employer(s) giving the name, address, and title of the employer and a description of the experience of the alien, including specific dates of the employment and specific duties."
The desi company that I worked for in US doesn't exist anymore. I got a affidavit from one of my ex-colleagues who is currently working for a company in INDIA.
And it worked for me. My attorney sent the documents to USCIS @ NSC on 3/3 and we got an Approval Notice on 3/7.

Quetion 11 on the EAD form 765 asks:
Have you ever before applied for EAD from USCIS: Yes
"Which USCIS Office?" : ??????????????
how can i find out which USCIS office my prev (first) EAD application was sent to? I'm a July filer, when i applied for 485 and EAD i lived in NJ and my employer was in NJ as well. The receipt notice of EAD application came from California Service Center. and there is nothing on the EAD card about which office it was approved by. The 485/EAD/AP all was filed by my employer's attorney, they will not respond to my questions anymore. i don't think i have copy of the EAD application send last year july. Anybody got older version of I-765, older than "7/30/07" edition?

Your wife can't change her status because she is not currently maintaining status if the H-1B was approved as a change of status. CIS will only approve a change of status with proof that the applicant has maintained status. She needs to leave the US and return in H-4 status to effect H-4 status. She has been out of status since October 2008.
If the company has revoked the H1 prior to the start date does she still needs to apply for H1 to H4?

Thank you for the quick response.
She has not yet filed 485 (PD is of 2007 i think). So once she ports her 140 she will have to file new labor and 140 (and since that can take more than 6 months) the worry was that she may not be able to work if H1 extension was not possible. so looks like she can apply her H1 extension at the time of transfer and then go on from there. Big worry off her head!
Thanks again.
1) transfer her h1 (she is worried because many companies do not transfer if < 1 year is on h1), and simultaneously file for an H1 extension based on approved 140 from her current job?
A. While file for her H1 transfer she can ask for 3 years extension based on approved 140
2) file a new labor and port her PD from the approved 140?
A. If she has not filed her 485 then she has to start the GC and can port her PD to the new 140
3) if no to 1 or 2 - is it the end of the road? Can she transfer to H4 (on her husbands H1) and continue to stay here?
A. 1 and 2 are possible. If she wants she can transfer to H4 as well.
Hope this helps.

I am an F1 grad student - I was planning on going home this winter, and while there I would have to renew my visa so as to be able to re-enter the US.
However, while filling out the forms to set up an appointment for the renewal interview, I remembered that I had a misdemeanor conviction (I pled guilty) for bad checks (this was a very long time ago, about 6 years - it was a bad time, I made some mistakes). When I say 'yes', on the DS-156 form, in response to the question regarding criminal convictions, how likely is it that I will have my visa renewed? Isn't is usually the case that consular officers are looking for any reason to deny visas/renewals?
It seems like my only option is to postpone/cancel my trip, if I want to be able to come back to complete my studies.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The link on USCIS page sends only the user id thru email. It does not send password.
Once you get your userid. Click on the forgot password link again and enter both your userid and email address, it will send you a link to reset your password.
If you just enter the email address, it will only send the userid.
Try this. I helped one of my friend yesterday to get his password reset.

This link shows which senators supported and which ones opposed the bill.
http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=110&session=1&vote=00266
This motion was defeated by a very narrow margin (5 votes)... and you can see that exactly 5 senators abstained.
So, what this implies that some effort needs to go to contacting fence sitters and apprise them of our views and hopefully, get them to support us.
Would appreciate guidance from core team on this....

You can also locate the priority date in the I-140 approval notice.

Looks like i forgot to mention few of my own contraints...
I do not want to use EAD as i am single and don't want to jeoperdise my spouse visa by loosing my H1b status. So only option for me now is H1b.
My only concern is what if i lose some pay checks and jeoperdise my immigration history. 90% of my frinds who work with consultant are out of job/looking job..etc. All these makes bit pessimistic....!!!!

Hello EB2ToEB3
Do you remember whether your job requirement specifically asked for BS in CS or just BS in Engineering?
Thanks for your earlier reply.
Dan
I doubt that you need BS in CS. I have a BS degree in Chem engg but recently my I-140 got approved without any issue.

hello,
MY Opinion!!
since u have used substitute labor, id guess that the Priority date of labor is pretty old (hopeing 2000-2002 range).
if ur PD is old, then rushing for 485 doesnt make sense. Rushing now is for those whose PD is 2005/2006, its their only chance before dates retrogress again. if u have OLD PD, then pretty soon, ur date will become current again, and when ur 140 comes thro u switch job & can apply for 485.
1. Anyway, resigning ur existing job and applying 485 with new company is not much beneficial. u cant use AC21 untill ur i140 is approved, anyway u have to stick at one place till ur eligible for AC21. if i were u , given a choice, id stay with a known demon (rather than unknown angel)
2. if ur substitute's labors 140 gets cleared..then switch to new company...apply 485 and in 180 days , ull be eligible for AC21, if relationship with new employer gets sour use AC21 and move on.
3. u still have 2.5 yrs on H1..this is a +ve point on ur side to take RISK of switching employer now. Id do this only if the PAY in new empoyer is so much high than existing, so that its WORTH taking the risk.
since its substitute labor, ur 140 cant be premium processes. as per previous experiences , if ur nebraska, 140 mite take 9-12 months , texas its little faster. so even after 1 yr,,if ur substitution Failed, u still have 1.5 yrs on H1, enuf time to switch H-1 job, get/apply for perm and get 6+ yrs extension.
Your lucky that new employer applied for 140 without expecting u to get on the payroll. if i were you, id thank God for that, and wait till 140 gets cleared before joining new job.

immigration authorities have received about 300,000 applications for high-skilled-employment visas since July 1, federal officials said yesterday.
Citizenship and Immigration Services, the federal agency, was still receiving applications for employment visas yesterday, the last day of a special period it announced on July 17 for immigrants with professional skills to file petitions for permanent residence visas, known as green cards. As a result, the total tally of applications received in the last six weeks was not available
