This is a news RK charging for suggestions.
I spoke to him couple of times prior to becoming his client and he never charged me anything.
He was very polite and replied all my questions. He even responded to my emails. This was in 2006.
I also suggest Amarnath Gowda(www.gowda.com), even he won;t charge any money for the suggestions to the general questions.
I used Gowda and RK and I was satisfied with both of them.
You should clear most of your questions prior to hire any attorney, then choose them according to to your satisfaction.

Substitution is fair? How about the people who he cut off?
With your attitude, IV would die soon...
I was not aware about EB2/EB3 when I filed my 1st Labor. Attorney did not educate me either. I changed my job (due to other reasons) and availed that opportunity to substitute PD. SUBSTITUTION OF I-140 is not only fair but helps shorten EB3 line as well. It also helps people who gets laid off while awaiting PD to get current.
Naga - Do you have I-140 for EB3?

NSC is like a lottery station. You have no idea when your petition will get adjudicated. Forget the dates. There are only two categories; lucky and unlucky. Lucky guys get out in one year. Unlucky guys stuck for three or four years.
As of now, they are concentrating all the resources towards approving as many Naturalization petitions as possible. Say, 70-80% of their resources are concentrated on that process. They are under tremendous pressure from politicians to get as many new voters for upcoming November elections as possible.
Hiring new staff and training them is going on but you will not see the results until January or February 2009. Apparently, these agents will have to go through thorough FBI check before selected for training. As usual, it met with few bureaucratic delays. They are at least 7 months behind their target in hiring new staff.
Remember, this same agency released "Strategic Vision" report in 2004, where they proclaimed to adjudicate I-140s in 180 days and eliminate backlogs before the end of Bush's presidency. Wow! what an efficient implementation of the "Strategy". Soon, they will come up with a "New Vision", which will get blurred within days. Story repeated.
So, EB guys, forget about our I-140s and 485s for a while. They will crawl, atleast until October end.
More over, what you are dealing with is the most inefficient and callous agency in the US government. Since this agency does not deal directly with US citizens, very rarely they will have to answer anybody, unless they screw up big time.
There are only two things that get you green card; patience and luck.
Good luck to all of us.

Let bygones be bygones. No point in beating the dead horse. Nothing will be achieved by opening old wounds.
Let us be united from now on for all our sakes ( both Eb2 and Eb3)
Ok, let us be united. Let us work on getting USCIS to follow the letter of the law. What is it you ask? It is that the Visas be spilled over as required by the law. It is nothing to do against EB3 or EB2. The visa spillover suggests that the overflowing visas be issued to the most critically retrogressed queue (upon satisfaction of per country limits). Does it help Eb3 or EB2? Both, whenever there is a longer queue, that line is able to move forward.
Right now it is EB3 which is reeling under the incorrect implementation, and EB3s want to see it rectified, while the EB2ers demand Unity (knowing well that they stand to lose -- what was never theirs), I would not be surprised that EB2 raise the loudest voice of action (and no talks about unity) had the tables been turned.
So you see why I think the message of unity sounds so hollow.

Hi,
Does anybody know of and have used any good lawyer for AC21 related matters from bay area in CA?
I reside in bay area and would like to consult a local lawyer regarding the "same or similar" nature of the new job that I wish to take using AC21.
The reason for requiring him to be local is to use his services, again if needed, during adjudication.
I appreciate any help in this matter.
I was also planning to phone consult Murthy.com lawyers and would like to know of any experiences.
Thanks

I will not travel through London, does not matter if I need a transit visa or not. This practice of imposing transit VISA is fundamentally wrong and I am not going to buy it. Transit VISA is for those who wants to go out of the airport for less than 24 hours. It should not be imposed on those who just want to sit and wait on the airport for their connecting flights. So....use your economic power and let them feel the heat.

Don't need to get excited. Nothing has changed.. Its again depend on you if you want to file and get it rejected and then be a part of law suit or if you just want to wait till Oct. But so far all these are rumers. and good roumers never become true..
But nothing wrong with being hopeful.
IS THIS APPLICABLE ONLY TO JULY 2 FILERS? FOR OTHERS, IS IT ADVISABLE TO FILE I485 NOW?

Thanks for responding to my post.
The Forum post on the link says that its not necessary to have the same or similar job description when working on EAD. What will happen when I ask for EAD renewal?
Also, what will happen when my Priority date becomes current? Will I be able to get a GC thru this I-485 since I have left the employer who filed my GC?
I should clarify that is "better" to have same or similar job when you are on EAD so that you labor certification-based green card application has a good standing if it is challenged at any point by the USCIS - it is a safe bet if you have a similar job. When I say it is not a necessary condition - it means that you can get any job you like, since there is nothing noted on the EAD application like it is on H1-B (with specific wage and job descrition) and if there is a challenge to your application by the USCIS, your attorney might be able to find reasons to justify why you are not in a same or similar job.
Again, to reiterate, as far as I remember, EAD renewal does not ask for job description. It is a simple application to issue an new card.
Since your I-140 has been approved for more than 6 months, you are within your legal portability rights (so called AC-21 clause) to switch employers without jeopardizing your pending adjustment of status "AOS" I-485.
My understanding is that one of two things might happen- either you will get an RFE or not. RFE can be triggered by many factors including notification from your previous employer to USCIS revoking the H1-B or other issues, including simple things like address changes. You can either provide AC-21 letter from your new employer when you get the RFE or do it proactively - listen to your attorney's advice on this.
If no RFE and priority date is current, you should get your GC as if nothing else happened. If priority date is current and at the time of GC adjudication there is an RFE, your attorney should be able to help you respond.
Don't sweat things too much - a lot of people have experienced life after the protective umbrella of H1-B and it is much nicer out here in the sun :)
Just get a good attorney to represent you personally in case your new emplyer does not have an immigration attorney on retainer for other immigrant employees.

That's not true, as per my attorney. When you are on the 7th yr of your H1 the only reason for the you get the 3 year extention on the H1 based on your approved I140 after filing your 485, is so that you won't be out of status even if your 485 gets rejected. You can still stay is status in US and appeal your 485.
Sorry, forgot to mention the MTR. If your I-485 AND MTR is rejected, my point still stands.

Hi,
My company is asking me to pay the extension fees for 3rd term with same company. I had approved 140. In USCIS receipt it says amount received: $320. Then why I am asked to pay $1820. Is the $1500 towards training is to be paid by employee or employer?
Most probably the 1500 is attorney fees.

I am not a qualified attorney but based on my experience I have seen that 3 Yr degree are hard sell. There have been instances where people have been able to get their way but thats an exception not a norm. Same with PG Diploma. CIS does not consider that as an addition to your undergrad. If the PGD is unaccredieted then its going to be even more tough to sell. If you want to play safe you need to get a undergrad degree here (4 Year one) All other options might hit road block and add to your woes.

My I-140 was never approved..
there was a first RFE for my exp letters,
and then there was an enquiry against Employer
and then RFE for A2P
and after answering A@P it is denied.
while it was pending, during July07 fiasco we applied for I-485.
Do you know why there was an inquiry against Employer?
Your case seems different

Today, I filed an official complaint with IRS about this employer. They told, they are going to send a notice asking the employer to reply to the tax bearer within 10 days from the receipt of the letter. I don't know how the employer is going to react and if they would still provide a corrected W2. Hoping, they would provide, otherwise I would have to call IRS again after another 2 weeks time. I had to be on the phone line for almost 30 mins to reach the IRS customer representative. It is a real pain.
