Interesting policy. A lot of companies do not sponser H1b and GC because of the woes, costs and hastles associated with it, though they would love to hire the right kind of candidate. But this company is ready to pass the right candidate just because they have to provide a letter?
Chandu,
We dont really know what their real apprehensions are behind not interested in hiring an EAD person..
It could be that
-- They had bad experiences in past with EAD people going out of status due to delays in EAD renewal
-- They have an impression that EAD people or like cats on walls...you never know when they will jump ship !
-- They dont have nor dont want to invest in having some kind of immigration expert in the company to help out employees. And feel (probably mistakenly) that taking on an EAD person, means to have to support him more than merely providing an emp. letter when required.
-- May (mistakenly) be assuming that once the EAD guy gets GC he would have to quit and join the original GC sponsoring company etc
But to simply cover their a88e8 they might put up a facade of "not interested in any kind of sponsoring--including providing proofs of employment etc when needed"

Collected from some other forum . Just google search your name combinations ( within quotes ).
For eg. if you have FirstName MiddleName LastName .
The search should be ( put within quotes )
"FirstName MiddleName"
"FirstName LastName"
"MiddleName LastName"
and all the reverse combinations.
If you get hits in 100s or 1000s , yeah you can wait 2 -3 years.

+ve skin test does not mean anything.
You can be +ve if
1. If you ever had TB
2. If you ever had TB medication
3. If you ever had TB Vaccination
If you are +ve, you need to do chest x-ray to verify whether you have TB or not. Tell your doc for chest x-ray. For me, I knew I will be +ve and so I told my doc for x-ray at the first time and did not have skin test.
I Got Positive Skin Test. What Should I Do Now? Please Inform Me.
Thanks

Hi,
We have raised $ 8,300 as of last night(Jan 8th) and we need much more than that. You can check status of funds raised at "Why Contribute" link on www.immigrationvoice.org
Here is the thing: You can contribute now if you have not and stop waiting until "others take care of the problem". That "others" is made up of people like you. If you cannot contribute a few dollars to help eliminate retrogression by funding a non-profit org that is going to lobbying in the next few weeks, then probably you are not bothered enough and retrogression is fine by you. If that is the case, then maybe I am talking to the wrong audience. If you are prepared to wait for 6-7 years for your green-card and keep extending your H1 until then and waiting for 6-7 years is fine by you, then good for you. You dont have to worry about anything and I can understand if you wish not to do anything about it.
But if you care, then volunteer or atleast contribute money towards efforts to eliminate retrogression and eliminate backlogs. What is the worst that could happen? Think about it. What if everyone thinks that "there are other people who are working on this and they will take care of the problem so I will just wait and watch, maybe contribute later on when they actually start doing something. Even if I dont contribute, they will take care of the problem and the changes in laws will benefit everyone anyways whether I participate or not". Well, that is the kind of thinking that leads to catastrophes. Do not rely on "Others". Because "others" might think that you are doing it and you might think others are doing it. That never ends and once we cross into second half of 2006, you can forget about congress acting on immigration just before elections in 2006. YOU have to do something about this. If you dont stand up for what you believe in, then you dont believe strongly enough. There is justice in the world, but its not automatic.
If you have doubts and would like to talk to one of the volunteers then please call us at 281-576-7185.
Talk to one of the volunteers. See if you can relate to the efforts of Immigration voice. A phone call and a few minutes of time is the least that you can do to act on a problem that can be a constant nightmare for the next 6-7 years if you want your GC within a more reasonable timeframe.
You can also check out www.immigrationvoice.org before you call so that you can find out more about us and ask us all the questions that you might have.
Thanks,
Logiclife.

Just a thought. I think something is holding back folks to write up these letters directly to president. Do you guys think it's a good idea just to have these letters mailed to IV and then pass it along to white house administration when IV meets them.
Those who are against IV and have never supported or never wanted to do anything just make it a point that they will NEVER do it. The reason they give will be a "Silence" or a "change in topic of discussion".
Pessimists will say "Nothing will happen" or "So did you get your GC? after the rally?"
Some say "Who cares for GC when you have choice to go home"

Easy Saimrathi. I am posting it for people who have just joined us.
Update from english_august
Siva tells me that the flowers are indeed being delivered to the USCIS office. It has created quite a stir.
Of course, we do need to keep the entire campaign in perspective. It is not something that Brian Williams is going to open his evening news with. In fact, he might not cover it at all. After all, when you compare it with the immigration rallies of last year - this is miniscule.
But we did generate quite a bit of media attention with this, we did prove that the skilled, legal immigrant community can take collective action and we did prove that the decisions made by US lawmakers and the beaureaucracies end up hurting real people behind the numbers.
I think all that was worth my 30 dollars.

At present my EAD is status not changed (USCIS case tracking), So I assume my EAD is valid. I also read Attorny Ron's blog that EAD is valid even I485 is denied. That gives me some comfort. Another problem, even if I get H1b (with out I94), I don't have AP to go (out of country) for stamping. What happens if I apply for AP while I485 is denied? Any one tried this? I am not sure what to do...
well, you don't really need AP to go out of country in this case as you are going to stamping. But in case if stamping is denied for any reason, its an end. Unless you specifically received CIS letter stating that your EAD is also revoked, it is probably valid. You can keep working on EAD till CIS works on your appeal or MTR.

This is my case in brief:
I resigned from company A (who sponsered by RIR LC, and I-140) about a year back.
Filed I485 using approved 140 of comapny A in July 07, in the485 application we mentioned the details of the current company I am working in. Got EAD and AP approved. (Company A's management is co-operative and supports me to take back)
Also got 3yr H1b extension approved for current company based on the approved I140 of company A.
Now Iam traveling to India. Had an appointment in Chennai consulate . My previous H1B visa expired in 2004.
Will there be any issues with that much gap 4yrs, in getting stamp?
Is it an issue not working for GC sponsoring employer?
If I use AP what are the issues?
If asked at PoE (Newark EWR) why not working with company A? what should be better answer?
Please respond.

I had opened a service request on 9/8 . I recieved a letter stating to wait for 6 months.
IO told me ,all the name check, FP are cleared. No RFE.

I agree with Saralayar and dontcareanymore has point. I think we should ask the conditional green card first for people who are in this country last 10 years and/or are waiting for GC more than 5 years. I don't see any issue for giving conditional green card. At least we will not have to worry for AC21, we could freely change the job, and we could buy a house. USCIS can give permanent green card once the visa number is available. I agree with dontcareanymore that the clock for citizenship should start from the date of approval of I-140. Once we have conditional green card, we could be out from this uncertainty. I don't know how we could proceed for conditional green card. But we need come together and if it is required we could talk to attorney too.

There are laws and there are exceptions. Basically there are no Laws when it comes to Immigration. USCIS/DOS can do whatever they like.
Look at Jul'2007, people with EB3 PD of 2004 got approved and people with 2001 are still waiting.
Look at EB2 approvals these days. People with 2006 PD are getting approved and people with 2004 PD are still waiting.
Can somebody explain how PD in each VB goes backward? Is it possible to get new applications with older PD in between? Don't they have computers with all the data where they can see how many applications are pending?
Howcome they were giving unused numbers to EB3 till last year and how come they changed the interpretation this year. The rule didn't change, they simply changed their interpretation of it.
If EB3 would have known about this new interpretation then they would have never applied in EB3 category.
Bottomline is there are no rules. USCIS/DOS is doing whatever they like and playing with our life. Nobody knows how many applications are pending. Nobody can predict the VB movement, it goes forward and backward. We cann't plan our lives and live in limbo all the time.

Yes, the same law can be interpreted like this:
EB1-ROW unused visa will go to EB2-ROW
EB2-ROW unused visa will go to EB3-ROW
Same for each country.
But its not happening. What actually is happening that they are giving unused visa from EB1-ROW to EB2-ROW to EB2-I/C. WHY?
So EB3-ROW is retrogressed bcoz it doesn't get any spillover and hence it affect EB3-I.
So where is the correct interpretation? Does any body know?
Don't take me wrong here. I don't favor EB3-ROW or any particular category. I am EB3-I with PD Nov 2002.
This was the law till 2000 (vertical spill over). After 2000, because of AC21, the INA got changed to horizontal spillover. This means each employment catagories are seperatly free from country quota if demand is less than supply in each catagory. If you analyze word by word in the language of the AC21 act, you will understand. Unfortunally (fortunatly for EB3) DOS has not interpreted the law correctly till 2006. Now they are interpreting correctly.
5) 2/ RULES FOR EMPLOYMENT-BASED IMMIGRANTS-
(A) EMPLOYMENT-BASED IMMIGRANTS NOT SUBJECT TO PER COUNTRY LIMITATION IF ADDITIONAL VISAS AVAILABLE- If the total number of visas available under paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) of section 203(b) ]for a calendar quarter exceeds the number of qualified immigrants who may otherwise be issued such visas, the visas made available under that paragraph shall be issued without regard to the numerical limitation under paragraph (2) of this subsection during the remainder of the calendar quarter.

Thanks for your reply - but I looked at both email and they are exactly same except for approval date on them. that confused me :confused:
how long it's taking to get actual card in mail after getting production email/ status update?
yup - i got duplicate CPO emails as well - one on sep 1 and another on sep 2. The LUD date also changed from sep 1 to sep 2 after the 2 updates. Today i got the 485 approved email.
Dont have the GC in hand yet - looks like none of the folks who got current in Sep have received their GCs yet. Speaking to some folks who got current last month, it seems like most folks had GCs in hand within 10-15 days of the first status update regarding CPO.

You don't need A# number from I140.
When you give First name, last name and birth date. They can pull all your immigration applications submitted previously. If you have I140 approved that will show them in database.
