If you marry a girl after geting greencard you have to wait 5 years to bring her to US. So better yet, marry after you get citizenship :D which might be when you are ready to collect your social security
:D
Good to see some light hearted comments to help uplift our moods in the gloomy greencard situation.

Will it really create ablity to pay issue when an employer keeps many I140s without pay and create a problem for future Gc processing? If that is really an issue then cancelling I140 is not retaliation. People can post their views.
You have used AC21 after 180 days then what is there to worry? Even if you receive RFE you can reply and you can get GC.
I have been a big fan of IV and have been a visitor to IV for a while. I now plan to become a volunteer and join my state chapter and also contribute in all possible ways to IV because I think IV is the best thing to happen to this community.
Dear gurus - here is my issue and I need some real concrete help.
I was working for a New Jersey based consulting company on a percentage basis ie 80/20 and all costs towards GC and h1b were by me. I found my own projects and negotiated my own billing rate.
I worked for this company for 3 years and filed for 485 in July 2007. I am EB2 India with a priority date of March 2nd, 2006. My 140 was approved in June, 2006.
In March, 2008 my project got over and I started looking for new projects. Market conditions forced me to take up a fulltime job using my EAD and I had to move into a fulltime job.
As it is safe past 180 days, I used AC21 portability and moved.
I had been having excellent relationship with my desi employer and in fact also payed up some money to the employer because the client did not pay for last 2 months of my project and my desi employer held me responsible as it was me who negotiated with the client and said it is my issue - for which I agreed.
I already sent a AC21 letter to USCIS through my Attorney - I am not sure if my file got updated.
My desi employer wants to withdraw the 140 petition now. He says, he cannot keep 140 petitions of employees who leave the organization and not on w2 and he will have "ability to pay issue"
I have heard horror stories of USCIS issuing denials and NOID because AC21 letter never reached the file even though it was sent in time and I guess this is exactly what my desi employer thinks - teach lesson by withdrawing 140.
I spoke to my Attorney and she says "your file may not be updated but we will keep a record that we sent" useful in case we want to respond to NOID or RFE.
Folks - please post your AC21 success/horror stories when previous employer withdrew the 140 petition.
What are my options to avoid a NOID or denial
Thanks in advance

i was talking about an average hollywood budget film with marketing cost is close to about 85 million (lower average)
bollywood is about a 1/10th of that

Wonder what I should do. After November no more Sch A numbers left, so what does that mean for people who've been able to file 485?
Filed I-140/485 with RD August 7th Sch A, EB 2. No movement on the I-140. Any suggestions? Should I seek premium processing?
thanks

Gandhi was in S Africa for how many years before he returned to India? If he hadn't been humiliated in S Africa and didn't decide to perform Satyagraha-who knows what shape our freedom movement might have taken?S Africa made Mohandas a "Gandhi"

Agreed...it is personal decision...but for Indians...it is a difficult decision. The way India is growing....People who have lived here for more than 10years...are migrating back....i know a person who left...has warned me...just to earn and get out.....not good for kids future etc....
So...we are all still learning.....
----
Agreed it's frustrating to go thru a roller-coaster ride as far as GC is concerned. I believe members of IV are leaving no stone unturned to tide over the GC hurdles by speaking in one voice and acting in unison.
Literally, we must have the 'staying power' to do this. If people wanna go back to their home country, it's their personal decision. Impatience and frustration should not be the driving factor for people to return to their home country.

It would make more sense to compare and brainstorm if you can post the skillset you have in mind and the rate you wish for?
I agree that being on EAD or having a GC puts a person in a better situation compared to H1B but the bottom line is the skillset in context, demand for that skillset and expertise that one has in that skillset.
it depends on the skill set and your experience. I accept the fact being on EAD or GC will give advantages. But I dont think GC only make the wonders. you might get 10-20% extra.

I have been in USA from 2000 and have been waiting for GC from 2004. Finally last year decided to buy and bought one. When I bought my house my kid was in 3rd grade, decided not to compromise on his education and bought a house in good school district.
All depends on personal situation. I am not considering house as an investment, just a place to live.
:)
exactly my thought... you almost stole words from my mind :-)
if i have to return to my country because of the immigration bs, it's this country's loss and the lender's loss - not mine. I did everything that I could... like an ideal citizen would do... and after all that if they want to kick me out, well then goodbye.
Also one thought (on an unrelated note, sorry!) - I see a lot of people on the forum posting about how they finally got their GC's after 10, 12, 15 years. I am really happy for them. Having said that, its not a matter a pride that people have to wait for so long to get GC. In fact it's a matter of shame! And by the way before anyone pounces on me, I take care of all action items that IV recommends :-) I am just saying that I feel bad when people have to wait for 10-15 years for their GC. My opinion is (coming back to our discussion) - I base none of my decisions on my GC process. I bought a house, decided to take a student loan to go back to school, changed my job and hopefully if all goes well, may even take a promotion pretty soon. GC my kiss my you know what. The process will go on on the side, but it won't affect my life in anyway.
Bottom line - whateva whateva, I do what I want! (for any South Park fans here)... haha..
Sorry about blabbering! Chao!

Recently I returned after a one month trip to India. At DC airport the CBP secondary inspection officer grilled us rough. First he called my wife and asked why did we leave US. She told that since my parents are old and not in good health we visited them. Then he started asking for documents proving it. And told us that without documents he won't let us enter. He went on to say that AP is only on humanitarian basis and unless CBP officer is satisfied with proof they cannot allow AP holder to enter. Finally after convincing him for another 30 min he let us in.
This was a really shocking experience. Are employment based GC's AP supposed to be treated like humanitarian AP? or was the CBP officer over reacting? Gurus please throw some light.
DSLStart, I am very sorry to hear your plight at the POE. I can exactly feel how bad and helpless we feel in that kind of situation. Glad you made it out of that situation...I just can make you feel better, I hope.

Solution is give away GCs to all pending labours/140s/485s. Then nobody works for lesser wage and so we can equally compete with US citizens. They created this mess and so their fellow citizens are facing the problems.
Also, all anti-immigrants are publishig the wages mentioned in H1B LCA's when comparing the salaries with US Citizens. But thats the wrong approach. Employers always mention the minimum wage that can be given in LCA while applying for H1. But the actual salary is always more than that 90% of times. So, these anti-immigrants don't know that actual salaries paid to H1B employess are far better or equal to salaries given to them. So, thats what they are crying. Also, they are crying because of they are not able to copeup with the technology changes and compete with us. Employers put the minimum allowed wage because of avioding high-pay when the employee is not productive or not on project. So that they can pay the minimum wage as per rules.
If there is a free flow of immigrants, why the wages will go down? These are all because of corruption at govt side. So, do not blame H1Bs. They came here all the way crossing thousands of miles, leaving their parents and in-laws for the sake of getting better life. This happens everywhere and everytime.
Also, when we say immigration system is broken, it doesn't mean that it is completely broken and replace with a new system. Just increase the EB and FB caps and per-country limits. thats it. It solves the problem. Do not revamp whole system. Existing system is fine and only thing is not enough visas available as per demand. So, solve problem by correcting it. We need to convey this to senators.
Finally, there will be flaws in any system. With that some people has to suffer. But if majority of them doing better and contributing to the economy, that will be good. Do not care for those few people, and destroy the lifes of majority of people.
God bless america.

You are not the only one....my application was also sent on July 2nd and I got FP notices (both my wife and I) and AP approved (both my wife and I).
My wife received EAD on 10/22 and so far there has been absolutely no update on my LUD and EAD application is still pending. The service center is Nebraska and I am the primary applicant. I think there a a lot of people in the same boat.
I'm on the same boat and I scheduled an INFOPASS apt and she asked me about biometrics for my I765 and I showed the receipt which I have done for my I485. She immediately responded saying is was for I485 and you need to do one for I765 and then your EAD card will be approved. My bio is scheduled for 01/26.
