Wouldnt we all be OK if this law was enacted in India to keep a check on terrorists from Pakistan ?
Its the whole atmosphere in which this law is passed and the intentions of the Republican party to embarrass the President that makes it look like a monster. I believe the law as such is fine.

Here is what I was told when i got a paycut of 10% however i am still working under my H1B not an EAD. I did not see you clearly say whether you still work as H1B or wether you switched to EAD.
As long as my pay was above the H1b Labor cert required minimum pay, all is good legally. Even though the letter that was sent for my greencard stated a higher salary, it does not have any impact because it is for a future job not my current job.
So if you are on H1B and the last salary you got the H1B with is less or equal to what you make with the pay cut you are fine, and legally they are not required to pay you more.
Just be careful with the hours, I was told that h1B usually is full time emplyee and in my case that means 40 hrs, so you still have to be employed for 40 hrs and not cut your hours. You can only have a paycut.
Dont burn your bridges, respond to the RFE asap, if you have not yet received a rfe for a verification letter that shows that you still are offered the job your greencard was filed for expect to see one coming.
So find a new job asap while you are still working for the old compnay and then invoke your EAD or transfer the H1B and make sure the new company is willing to provide you with a letter for the RFE should it come to verify they now offer you the job similar to what is been stated in your greencard papers.
Hope this helps

Hello,
On a side note, is it possible to do a part time job when your GC is under process. My PD is OCT 2006 and i am currently using my EAD to work for my primary employer. My H1B got over on May 2008 and Employer suggested that I use my EAD to continue work. SO can I take up a part time job also using this EAD. Any advice and opinion on this is highly appreciated.
Thanks
Yes, you can work part-time on the second job. But the primary job, must be consistent with the job duties a mentioned in ur LC.

I am also thinking of complaining, but need opinion from you guys.
My case is as follows.
A desi company fiiled for my RIR labor in March 2005 and I paid the lawyer's fee for that application. That time I was not working for that company and planned to join that company in Sept 2005. In the meantime the same company screwed up the things with my husband's H1 transfer....the sub-story of this is: My husband came to US on H4 visa in Spet 2000. That was the worst time to find an employer to sponcer his H1. Finally we got somebody to sponcer his H1 in 2002 for a civil engineering firm. I was in Boston/Maine i.e. in NorthEast and he was in Hawaii.....two farthest ends of US. In the meantime we tried to find him a job on main land and I also tried to find a job in Hawaii with no success. We also had our Canadian PR done in these years. So finally we talked with this Desi company I mentioned for H1 transfer since we had trust in this company....I had my labor filed with them and was thinking of transferring my H1 in a few months. So accordingly we sent all the necessary documents for H1 transfer and this company started marketting him he was interviewing etc....all regular stuff. One month after submitting the documents we came to know that this company has never filed for H1 transfer and it was a big shock to us. Now there was no time to find another company for H1 transfer since you have to file the transfer within 30 days. So needless to say he converted again on H4 and I decided not to transfer my H1 with this company.
So now is it possible to compain about this company that they asked me to pay the lawyer fees for LC? I have a proof of check I sent to lawyer.

Tristate folks dont mind driving 4 hrs to catch a movie but going to the rally is a big hassle for them.
Even if it was held in NYC, folks from tristate will not show up.They have to straighten their priorities first.
Some of them had genuine reasons but most of them were just not interested.plain and simple
Thats the lesson the tristate group heads found out during the phone campaign.
Well said - I know when the Indian Movie Sivaji released all these folks drove for hours together to watch the movie.
But from what I understand - the issue here seems to be sheer ignorance of the basic understanding of the issue and nothing else. Many have not taken this issue seriously - they have not understood the complexity of this issue.
Look at the July filings - 300K filings - phenomenal, but look at ralliers - compared to the numbers that filed

I am sure you must have spent a lot of money on the whole GC process. $300 for EAD should not make you think so much. Better be safe than sorry!
I hope you get the 485 approval soon, so there is no dilemma. If I were you, I would apply for EAD.

WTF. Why r u scaring the guy. I doubt if your new company can do anything without ur permission even if they filed an updated G-28. I-485 is YOUR application and NO ONE can correspond with the CIS w/o ur permission. if they do, it's clear fraud and you can sue their ass for big $$$. Your new attorneys and a fortune 500 company are both aware of their limitatios and won't do anything that can bite them in the a$$ at a later stage. A fortune 500 company does not have messing ur I-485 on it's agenda or roadmap. Take it easy.
Here's what i'd suggest:
1) Sign the G-28 and make them happy. Those jokers are probably doing it as part of HR policy across the board. They don't understand the details.
2) Let your new attorneys send G-28. Call up USCIS 2 months down the line to confirm, if that update has happened. There's a 99% likelihood it won't - as reading through forums, it seems USCIS trashes any unsolicited (AC-21) correspondence.
3) 1% if the new attorney is updated, write again to USCIS NSC/TSC to remove any attorney on file and self represent urself (or find ur own attorney).
Using 1 + 2 + 3 above, ur company HR is happy and at the end of the day u r back to square one controlling ur application as HR won't know about 3.
I don't think the intent of ur HR is to screw u....it just seems like overexaggeration and if u like ur job and it's stable, now is NOT the time to be moving around...economy is in bad shape.
And BTW, i don't think your first AC-21 letter made it to your file. You could call and confirm with USCIS...if they received any correspondance from you. Even if they did, i don't see an issue with sending a different letter again as long as letter 2 matches job description on ur original labor. letter 2 does not need to match letter 1...it needs to match job description on ur PERM/labor. Change jobs as many times and send as many letters...wht finally matters in AC-21 cases is if original employer revokes I-140 and immigration officers assessment of same/similar jobs at time of adjudication (assuming they generate RFE for EVL, which they most likely will).

Jayant,
Link from USCIS can not be disregarded - you got me there ! :) It seems like we are on different pages - talking 2 completely different things. While i'm 100% sure what i'm saying , you have given USCIS links in favor of your argument.
Let Ukgc go to lawyer with both the arguments and figure out which category applies to her case. I'll be very happy if your argument wins and Ukgc's spouse can re-unite without minimum delay.
Have a good day,
Diptam
This info is from USCIS: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=5aa3e6b0eb13d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCR D&vgnextchannel=54519c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD . They do not make any distinction on wheher you got the GC through AOS or CP. Or am I missing something. Also, they say a visa number does not need to be available for "Following to Join" benefit.
I am copying-pasting some of the relevant info:
-----------------------------------
Following-to-Join Benefits for Spouses
Please note: This section is only applicable to lawful permanent residents who did not gain their LPR status as an immediate relative (parent, spouse, or unmarried child under 21 years of age) of a U.S. citizen.
If you were married before you became a lawful permanent resident, and your spouse did not physically accompany you to the U.S., your spouse may be eligible for following-to-join benefits. This means that you do not have to submit a separate Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative, for your spouse, and your spouse will not have to wait any extra time for a visa number to become available. In this case, you may simply notify a U.S. Consulate that you are a lawful permanent resident so that your spouse can apply for an immigrant visa.

If my old labor stuck in BEC with PD2004, and again I filed for PERM with PD as 2006 and got approved, so when I filing for I140 can I request to recapture the 2004PD?

Does it mean all the available spillover visa#s are exausted? Are they currently processing the AOS applications or sitting tight for next fiscal year quota to be available from 10/1. Please, elaborate.

Going by the same reasoning - if an EB based applicant gets laid off, while GC is pending with DHS, DHS can't deny GC.
if they were talking about divorce - your point could possibly be argued as valid - the comparison with death is totally riduculous

There are a few famous one's who won't even tell what their fee is until you set up a paid consultation with them. Charge $ 395.00 for a 30 minute consultation even if your case is 'Kosher'. You need to take an appointment through their paralegal to talk to them, can't get an appointment for the same day, would be lucky if you can talk to them next day.
Really do not know if their steep price tag is worth it...!
I fully agree with you.. not quoting the name of the attorney.. I made this mistake of visiting this attorney in Baltimore ..just because the attorney was very well known probably because of the website.. ended up paying for $ 300 for a 30 minute consultation with an assoicate..and believe me I knew more about PERM and immigration then this associate. and the worst part was that I had give the check upfront.... on the other hand Rajiv Khanna gives free advise and also takes pro bono cases for people who cannot afford..and that speaks a lot for an immigration attorney.

i think 10-20 members have done more than half the work and contributions. Another 100-300 have done the remaining work and added to the contributions. Whereas 11,000+ members have just sipped tea/coffee from the sidelines. Do we really need these people here? They are so out of touch with reality in helping their own cause.
Undocumented workers have shown better analytic abilities: they have collected contributions in millions. No wonder they are are getting more points (in the proposed point system) then others currently considered skilled by DOL.

Our organization is full of such people whose lives are affected by visa issues and greencard retrogression. many people (including Mr. Mehta) whose story was recently published have been laid off in their jobs several times and had to quickly find a new job. they also had to restart the greencard process a few times after losing their job and PD. Sveral members have come forward and narrated their touching story of their personal and professional lives. It is this pain and suffering that motivates us all and keeps us together as a community. pls. take active part in the IV efforts to help bring about relief for everyone. Help IV in their membership and funding drives and signup for state chapters. Only few members have signed up for the chapters even though I see lot many active on the forums and always posting messages about all the ideas they have and expressing the desire to take part in activities. Pls. help us all and help yourself by taking part in this effort so that we no longer have to see such threads as this, from our community.
