My employer had applied 485 based on EB2. I have the approved ETA case number of the labor certificate and occupation code. My 140 is also approved. I have a US masters degree. I want to move on to a new company which has a minimum requirement of BS + 5 years (which will come under EB2).
But I am not sure if he applied my labor as MS only or equivalent. He is not willing to reveal those details. Can you please tell is there a way I can find that out from the ETA case number?
Thank you all!

Hi
My I140 has been denied 2 times. 1st time was in EB3 Professional and 2nd was in EB3 Skilled worker category. I am not sure the reason for the 2nd denial since I am waiting for the notice letter.
I urgently need an attorney who has recently cleared a few cases with 3 year degree (only 3 year degree not combination with Masters / Diploma etc)
If you are someone who has 3 year degree and recently got approval, please IM me your attorney's details.
Thanks

Changing from L1 to H1 has nothing to do with your GC process.
Since you have L1 - you have most probably worked outside the US for at least 1 year with your employer. If this 1-year stint was at a managerial capacity (5-6 people reported to you at least, and you are at least 2-3 positions removed from the entry level) and was within the last 3 years - then you can apply in EB1 category.
I changed from L1-H1 as well. I was not able to apply in EB1 since my 1-year stint was outside the 3 year window.
Whether you can apply in EB1 or not has no connection with whether you are on L1, H1 or even outside the country. The EB1 requirements are similar to L1requirements (in fact identical to L1A requirements) - and that is why you see lots of L1A guys getting their GC early. There is a definite correlation - but no causation.

Article by Frank Aquila of Bloomberg BusinessWeek who underscores several reasons why lifting the cap on H-1B petitions is essential for US Tech growth including the fact that "The U.S. Labor Dept. estimates that by 2014, 2 million high-tech jobs will go unfilled simply because the cap on H-1B visas has not been raised."

If the company is moving within the same county then no issues.
If it's moving to a different state (or) to a different county within the same state, then refer the following thread
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=158508&postcount=7
Remember, the prevailing wage differs from county to county even within the same state.
How about if the company moves with in the same state but different county. My company is moving to a bigger facility as we have outgrown the current facility. I have applied for I-485 on July 3rd and my I-140 is already approved.
Seeing that under AC21, they give flexibility to move to a different employer and different state, I think the law would be flexible enough to accomodate moving of the work location within the same state with same employer.

Thanks sgupta33!!
Hello,
The dept. of labor uses two types of codes, one of which is the SOC code. Yours may be a SOC code (Standard Occupational Classification) or the other one (name I can't remember). If you look at Murthy.com and search for articles on AC21, you'll find information on the two types of codes the DOL uses. The go to the DOL website and do a search for the two types of occupational codes and see which classification system your code matches. Once you access the classification, just look for your number and it should give you a brief description. I did this for my code.

Did you declare your arrest record at the time of I-485 filing and did INS respond to that? What stage of I-485 filinga are you? Do you already have your AP?
As far as I know you can be denied entry IF your I-484 is denied while you are out of the country.

I could take upto 3 months of sabbatical partially paid (1st month:100%, 2nd,3rd-50%) - I am currently on H1 Visa and working for the employer who sponsered by GC. I would like to know if there is any effect of taking sabbatical on my pending I485 ?

So let's have premium processing in all stages?
Wonderful, why not this suggestion:
Sell GCs for 30k each, or put up on auction.
30k is achievable goal for everyone if we save money for 6 years straight. Maybe live on bread and water or something but hey, after buying the GC, can get back to living normally!
I think the premium processing idea is just money milking strategies by the respective departments who process the different stages.

EAD does not confer any status to live in the US. Your status continues to be AOS. When the EB2 I140 is approved, the lawyer will either interfile it with the pending I485, or the USCIS will auto-approve your case if the EB2 priority date is current.

I heard that only applicants who are current are considered as backlogged - is this true?
Applicants who are not current - which statistical group do they belong to?
You are correct. Is USCIS definition to show less numbers on their graphs.

Health insurance is a daunting concern, esp. in times like this. One suggestion is to think about High deductible HSA plan. This plan will work best for People who are healthy and have no health issues, but want to cover for the unexpected emergencies.
For example, I opted for 0/1500 plan through Kaiser Permenante. This plan will allow you to roll over the extra $s into next year and from next year to the next, etc. You will build an account (and I think can invest the money to grow it further). You can use the funds from the account that you built over the years to pay for future expenses. But the catch is, they will pay for your claims only after you spend the first 1500/Yr. Basically, this is an option to control how you want to spend for your medical expense.
Like I said its good for healthy adults. For children this may not work, because they might need more medical care than healthy adults.
Cheers!

Recently I joined new company using AC21. When I joined this new company, my new company told me that they will not handle any immigration matter but will provide with necessary documents if needed. So, I asked my previous attorney to continue my case and he prepared letter for AC21 and sent to USCIS. Now, after couple of weeks, now the lawyer from my new company sent me G-28 form to fill, which is technically to switch the attorney and telling me that this new attorney will be sending AC21 documents again. But my new company is not doing G-28 for my wife. So, now I am in delemma whether to file G-28 and switch the attoney and send AC21 documents again.
Is it advisable to stay with old attorney as he had all the original documents and whatever being sent to USCIS OR switch to new attorney appointed by new company. This new attorney also saying that most of the time G-28 form will never make to USCIS I485 case and will get lost in mailroom. In that case all the correspondence will still goto old attorney. So, I wasn't sure what is safest and best way to handle this.
From my prospective, I should be good since my old attorney already sent AC21 documents to USCIS including my apointment letter from new employer with copies of all necessary document. so, Do I need to switch attorney at this stage of Green card (I485). What could be the possible queries in future regarding AC21. My old company is very reputed and they will not revoke my I-140. Similarly my new company is also very reputed. Both are in similar business and my job is similar and both are fortune 100 companies.
My case is EB3 ROW with priority date of March 2006. Now I am working on EAD.
Thanks in advance.
