I thank everyone for taking interest in my case and giving valuable advices.
Yes, the lawyer should have checked this and filed on EB3 to begin with. If he had suggested a potential hindrance like this, I wouldn't have agreed to file the case under EB2. The way it happened was, employer and attorney requested all my details and decided to go with EB2. I didn't even know the complete requirements of EB2 at that time as I had a belief that EB2 is only for Masters degree. Because the employer + attorney recommended EB2 I signed up for that.
I have requested my employer to start a new PERM as soon as possible.
I am very much looking forward for interfiling my old I-485 with the new I-140. My attorney is saying its not possible. (Maybe he's very less experienced in these matters).
"during that time hope your new I-140 comes through (for the PERM you are starting now) and then interfile that I-140 to your existing 485"
Can you please shed some more light on that so that I can argue with my attorney. Any links regarding this would be really helpful. Any piece of information/case history would be helpful to argue with my lawyer.
AkhilMahajan,
The university gives different marksheets for supplementary exam. There's a consolidated one too.
insbaby,
You are right. EB3 is the safest one. I never tried to take advantage of EB2. The whole mistake was due to improper knowledge from my side about EB2 and wrong evaluation by the attorney. I am looking for all ways to convert this case into EB3. My attorney is saying that we can't file a new I-140 under EB3. The only way to continue this case is to request the EB3 conversion as part of the RFE response. Then, INS should agree to the change in a return letter which can be followed by the I-140 application amendment or new I-140 application.
quizzer,
The I-140 filing date was Nov 2006.
Ramba,
You are very correct. I have requested my attorney to change the category from EB2 to EB3. he said it can be done only as a formal request during RFE response. The attorney has requested my employer to modify the job requirement from EB2 to EB3. I think we are safe at the labor certification as it doesn't ask progressive experience. Labor is asking for Bachelors degree and 5 years of experience which I have. I have no plans to move out of H1b until I-140 is approved.
cnndwag,
I didn't run away. Today I was running behind my attorney and employer to save this case under EB3. I didn't fake my experience as I finished my course well before starting my first job. IO caught the discrepancy which should have been caught by my attorney long before. Just to re-iterate I never tried to expedite the process by filing under EB2. In fact I was ignorant about EB2 till the case was filed.
Dreamworld,
I am very disappointed by the law you mentioned
"PERM does not allow to change from EB2 to EB3"
Can you send me some links to read more in this respect? But fact is a fact. I appreciate you pointing out things like this.
One of my friend tole me yesterday to request DOL (dept. of labor) to request for a reclassification which should come in 3 weeks. But my lawyer said that classification doesn't happen at labor level and all it matters there is what is specified in newspaper ad and labor requirement (bachelors and 5 yrs exp).

Congratulations! Though I don't know why it took you so many days, I could understand if it was the other way around (him explaining you). You should meet my wife and get some lessons. :) just kidding. Thanks for bringing in the whole team, great spirit.

Here's what I sent...
I am writing to inform you of how the country based quotas imposed on Employment (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=335690#) Based green cards are unfair and totally illogical. When I immigrated to the US, I believed that this country was a meritocracy where you were judged based on your abilities and qualities. These country based quotas reward people depending on where they or their ancestors were born. This causes people from India and China to wait over a decade to get a green card whereas someone from another country with similar or lesser abilities can obtain permanent residence in a very short time (about an year).
Since these EB category based green cards are awarded for professional skills, imposing a country based quota just does not make any sense. I urge you to work with Congress and change this unfair policy and reinforce that America is truly a society that celebrates meritocracy.
About me:
I have been in the US for over 10 years. I work for company ABC, for which I am happy to say, I recently wrote an algorithm (patent pending) which brought in about 10 million dollars worth of contracts to my company.
I have paid $xyzn federal taxes, $xyz in state taxes, $xyz in medicare taxes & $xyz in SSN taxes over the last 10 years. There are my monetary contributions to this country.
I was privileged to have volunteered in your 2008 presidential campaign. I was and am inspired by the new politics and policies that you talked about. A legal immigration fix is something that is low cost high benefit for the country - so I implore you to make this a high priority.
Thank you.

Gotta love this system...
Two years ago; Grassley sent a questionnaire to the top 10 Indian outsourcing companies of how they use non immigrant visas.
They did not have any legal obligation to answer his query. They answered his questions by non answering it.
Grassley then starts to increase the rhetoric and starts pressuring uscis/dol to start investigations.
uscis/dol start investigatin and denying cases and study it and find fraud.
now; Grassley is getting his way and starting to change policy.
Nascom senses game is over and come begging which is exactly what grassley wanted in the first place.
At the end; he will get these guys to agree to tough measures (ie., lca requirements for L-1; tougher measures on h-1b, etc.
See how Microsoft answered differently when they got the query and compare to these guys.
This system created in USA has a way of making you conform to their behaviour willingly or through long and painful way. Looks like they had to learn through long and painful way.
It is called desi mentality. Unless the ass is set on fire - Desi folks don't realize the importance of such things.

I came through SFO a few days ago. I was prepared to leave if told that I could not stay, (having lost my job last November and not having found another). I was asked if I was still working for the petitioner, I replied truthfully that I was not and that I was looking for another job. I was then told it was OK, and "welcome back".
I've got a code I biometric notice eventhough I did not apply for and EAD. What might this mean? Thanks to USCIS I lost a 2004 PD ...now its a 8/2006 PD.
In the meanwhile I have a Phd offer from a top UK university and am planning to take that opportunity, even though I have an admission to a Master's here with full scholarship.
Bluekayal Sorry to hear that you are still stuck in this mess. I am still in the university this is my second job change after GC. Hope your job and GC situation change to positive soon.

However if you can get visitor visa and after entering america, if you apply for a I-485, most probably USCIS will approve your case. Therefore, In my opinion the challenge is getting B1/B2 visa when her husband is waiting for a adjustment of status.
No, it is not a question of whether she can get a visitor visa or not. I think the question is whether she CAN RISK applying for a visitor visa? The answer is NO. Filing for her to join or H1 seem to be the only options.

Hi Sanbaj,
Congratulations for getting your GC !!
What were the PD's on your two I140's ? Were you able to port the PD of EB3 to EB2 ?
Both were EB2 from the same company. PD on one was Oct/2006 and the other was Feb/2002.

I'm sorry to hear this...Its happened...
if you really wanna bring your employer to lime light..prepare yourself..first....Remember..its your life here...anyone[including me) can give free suggestion here ....
There is no use working with this kind of Employer anymore...so my advice is switch to another employer[Good One] before you react to this...Make sure you pretend as if you are not aware of this and get the best out of him before you leave...once you r done...then show who is he to the outside world...
I'm sure you be having atleast mail proof...[If not ditch the plan of suing and move on with your next opportunity]....take some time and prepare all the possible proof...hire a good lawyer....File a case against the attorney in the local law chamber where the attorney is practising....they will definely call you to settle the case...make sure you record it as the proof[if you don't have one already ::)].....
Then hit the employer...make sure you ask a collosal sum through your attorney[Never give chances]....and then post his name and details in the Immigration blogs....
You lost one of the major milestone in your life...never give up this time....
Best of luck

Mr. Plassey,
What gives you the right to talk in such a nasty way to a guy who is already in distress. Please maintain minimum decency when you talk to others. If you dont have anything to offer, you dont have to post. But dont be rude to people.
I can guarantee that u r screwed for next 3+ years if it was EB2 and next 6+ years if it was EB3.
Well, go ahead and cry in the bathroom now instead of actively supporting IV.

Some ides that I have heard work are
1) Calling congressman/senator and asking them to help your case.
2) Writing to Ombudsman.
Since no one in America does much of anything in December I am planning to start trying with congressmans office in mid Jan. I have to do something and try - I cant keep sitting hands folded. Or they will say quota is over before we know it - remember ROW is at 2005.
That's true that Dates becoming current does not necessarily ensure that someone will work on your case. Writing to Ombudsman might help (but not necessarily). There is a simple form, Form DHS-7001, fill it and send to Ombudsman (address to send to is on the form - you can search for the form). They forward it to your Service Center for an answer within 45 days. If your dates remain current for this 45 day period, there is a chance that your Service Center will look at your case. If not, Service Center may just wait until your dates are retrogressed again and send a standard reply that you are not current.
Taking an InfoPass might initiate some action too.

- How has greencard changed your life after receiving it?
GC arrival does change the life little bit. My frequent anxiety regarding various renewals like EAD, AP, H1/H4 vanished along with the tons of documentation that I have to do for those. I was struck to my current job during this process and continued the same way even after GC, but I am about change that soon. GC now provides me the ability to compete with others in the open market and provide me the confidence.
- What did you do on the day you received it?
I just went to the Temple and thank God for finally receiving it during my life time!
- How did the long wait upset your life?
More than me, it upsets my wife a lot. This does take a toll on her as she is confined to home and occasional voluntary services. She is now vigorously pursuing for a job in this down market and finding it difficult to compete with others, who have recent US job experience.
- How did immigrationvoice help you during this long wait?
IV helped to be better informed about various processes, procedures. This also helped me to deal with the attorneys directly by-passing the paralegals, who have little knowledge and to get the attorney�s much needed attention to my cases.
- Would you like to continue your support to immigration voice and help others waiting?
Yes. I do visit the forum from time to time and provide my experience and get updated with the changing rules, regulations and the visa status.
- Any advice for everyone?
As we are the people in no man�s land, I would suggest every one to be united to support the noble and good cause to revamp this system. I was driven away by the infighting and bickering and do not understand what benefits that is going to provide. Though I understand the pain, frustration and agony for the uncertain wait for this process, I would like to remind everyone that this is the time where we may need to be more united and welcome others instead of fighting among ourselves.
Once anyone received his greencard, please update the IV tracker too. We like to see how many members in IV are greencard holders and what is the current trend of approvals in our membership
- I did updated
Thanks

$75 - photographs
$50 - mailing fees.
$100 � Extra Day care expenses. My wife and I have wasted 2 working days for this filling, We had to work extra hours and week ends to compensate. Had to drop my kid at the day care extra hours when we were working extra hours.
