My knowledge in this issue is limited, but looking at above posts, I have two things to tell you:
1. It may be possible to convert to EB2, clearly it is not easy and it takes time. EB3 clearly has a longer wait than EB2, but the conversion process takes time as well (even if everything is well in line, you are looking at 1.5-2 yrs at least).
2. Whether you convert to EB2 or not, chances are, you will be still in line till immigration reform comes and kicks in. Please participate in all efforts to make sure that there are some good provisions for legal immigrants in immigration reform. If all of our efforts work, you surely will get your greencard soon, whether you convert to EB2 or not.
Good Luck.

As understand the process
1) First one should change the employer with new job.
2) Apply for new Labor (with EB2 requirements) -- PERM 3 months.
3) Apply for new I-140 (use old I-485) -- PREMIUM 1 month.
4) No need to apply for NEW I-485.
Guys, this is the best option for EB3, use it.. with in 4 months you are current... let us port to EB2...no need to wait this VISA bulletin saga.

Because you are a hypocrite.

That's neither helpful nor accurate. And you can help by not trying to get into any real debates. I will invite you when there is a name-calling party on. Promise.

I just applied to lending tree on wednesday for 450k loan. Still nobody contacted me :(. I have an excellent credit history and me and my wife both are using our history to apply. Finally looks the market is really tight in credit. Last time I applied for auto loan I got replies in couple of hours.
Good luck. I am still hunting in NJ and want to get preapproved.

I recd supplementary forms to I-693 for my wife and I from the Civil Surgeon earlier this week. Along with the supplementary forms I recd two envelopes (one addressed to me, and the other one to my wife) that had DO NOT OPEN written on them. I sent these to my lawyer's office.
I called the doctor�s office and this is what I found out. Apparently, when the doctor had first given us the sealed envelopes (in June 2007) she didn�t know that the Supplementary form needs to go with the certification she provided us in the sealed envelopes. We sent the sealed envelopes with our Concurrent I-140 = 485 application recd at NSC on 7/2/07 (as per UPS). Now, some of her clients have recd letters from USCIS asking for the Supplementary form, so she has sent the same out to all of her clients regardless of them getting a letter from USCIS. I hope our application doesn�t get rejected due to this; no checks cashed as of today.
My lawyer's response: No the application should not get rejected because of this...however we will submit the supp doc's report to the USCIS when we get the receipt notices.
Anyone else in the same boat? Is this something to worry about? See signature for more info...

basically, there are lot of people on the other site, who don't want to join iv but participate:) they think that they might be accidentally causing a benefit to iv by joining iv:)
Priceless!
Speechless!
Such attitude is Worthless! How confident should we be that they will stick to the message and not go of on tangent in the meeting? It may be better off not to have them.
If people believe a cause is worthwhile and will benefit them, they will come - and registering will not be an issue for them.
If people don't want to do the heavy lifting, they will give any excuse - including registering as the detractor to join the cause. The change has to come from within and cannot be forced. You can talk to a person who has a question on what needs to be done during the advocacy days, you can talk to a person who has doubts - if he/she can be reasoned with, but you are wasting time with people who have no intention of participating to begin with!

What's "MTR"
I thought After 180 days of I-485 ,they can not withdraw the I-140 ?
search the forums.. the I-140 can be withdrawn anytime. USCIS is supposed to ignore the denial if its been >180 days of your I-485 filing.
If USCIS does not ignore, then they go ahead and deny the I-485 anyway and that then requries you file a Motion to Reopen (MTR) your case. USCIS makes a mistake, you need to go through hell: while your MTR is being processed (8 months in this case) if you are not on H1 (ie. you used your EAD) then you are out of status and need to stop working immediately. While USCIS works on your MTR you are potentially accruing illegal presence. If it exceeds 180 days, then you better hope your MTR succeeds, otherwise you are now setup for a 3 year re-entry bar into the US. If MTR succeeds, then you are retroactively in status. If it fails, then your out-of-status time begins from the day of your first denial (filing MTR does not give you status).

I disagree with waitingnwaiting. I had got 221G about 5 years back. I work for one of the fortune 500 company and had all the paperwork sent by our company's professional law firm. US embassy randomly picks application for processing. It took abt a month to get the approval. As long as the application/documentation is correct and there is nothing to worry.
I would suggest to spend more relaxed time with family or going out which we rarely get with 3-4 weeks vacation.

I found a very detailed discussion thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=5890) about good/bad experiences with different immigration lawywers. This was back in July Last Year when most ppl were filling for 485.
Now many of them are invoking AC21, can some one share experience with AC21 attorney representation?
I know we do not need an attorney for AC21, but I am inclined to go with one just for the peace of mind.
After carefully reading thru' every post on above thread, calling some friends and my own online research, I am thinking of either Rajiv Khanna or Ron Gotcher. I have a close friend who is with Rajiv Khanna for a long time and has good words for him. But I personally do not know anyone who is currently a client with Gotcher Law firm. If there is anyone who has specific experience or recommandation with Gotcher Law Firm or any other, please share.
On a side note, my current company's corporate attorney is very rude, not-apporachable and very costly. Never replied to emails or phone calls. Also by contract, I can not have him represent my case, once I resign from my current position.

What about the brand new Olympus E-300 Evolt releasing in Dec? I am hoping to pick one of these up before Xmas.
