A little update; I was asked to send some of these pictures to Sveriges Ornitologiska F�rening (main ornithological society), and the pics are now on their home page (http://www.sofnet.org) with a short story (http://www.sofnet.org/index.asp?lev=2125&typ=1) . No biggie, they accept user contributions, but flattering just the same. I can now sort of say I've been published! :) Maybe the link to my home page can lead to something (uhh, no pun intended).

Hi All,
I have my labor filed and approved for EB3 March 2005 PD. My I140 too has been approved in June 2007. I filed for 485 on July 2nd. I would like to know whether I can now start a fresh EB2 and also apply for I140 and use the older Eb3 priority date of March 2005. I have not changed my company I need guidance for experts in this regard.
Just for information, my I140 was approved after I had applied for 485
Regards,

beautifulMind - does your new I-140 have old priority date from EB3?
I think you should not have any issues filing for EAD, all you need are your pending I-485's receipt notice. good luck!
Don't tell the world that you r a linebreaker
My line was broken twice before by fate. I have been here for 11 years now have a masters and worked for the same company from 8 years. lawyer screwed up filing in eb3 first when it should have always been eb2 so we refiled again....and once before I lost priority date for another reason. Anyways i am happy to be in EB2 with a priority date for Jan 2007

Thanks for your reply...
If I do COS staus with premium processing then how much will it cost me and is there any consulate can raise query in COS process because of unavailability of project work.

I am in Philadelphia so i would assume Vermont center. Is that a fair assumption, coz i have a previous I-140 and to the best of my knowledge it had gone to the Vermont center back then.
However back in the day there was no premium processing for I-140 so things may have changed :(
Has anyone in the North east USA recently received any approvals from the Vermont center?

That really sucks.
They (USCIS) take ages to work on our case and when they request something they don't give enough time to respond and even ignore genuine hardship.
I pray sincerely things work out for you. Good luck!
bbct & vin13,
Thank you both for your replies! We are trying to figure out what to do.

Hello everyone -
I am planning to change my job and would like to seek some advice. I already used AC21 once without informing USCIS, and now would like to do it again. I would like to seek advice on couple of issues:
1. I would like to do this without informing USCIS and worry about a response if and and when I get RFE. However, new employer has E-Verify system. Would them checking my eligibility to work through E-verify make it certain that I would get an RFE for employment verification?? In other words, E-Verify tells USCIS that one has changed employment? or E-verify and 485 have no connection?
2. My new job is in the same engineering field; however, there is still a big difference in salary owing to additional managerial duties. Labor was done based on technical responsibilities in engineering field, new job involved technical as well as business responsibilities in the same field. With years going by, I am taking on more and more project/division management experience and that is what the new position would entail.
Original title - Transportation Analyst/Engineer with 55K as salary
New Title - Director of Transportation Systems and Services Engineering with 135K as salary
Based on my research, the job needs to be in the same occupational classification. The original SOC code is 17-2051 - Civil Engineer. The new SOC could be same 17-2051 or could be classified as 11-9140 Architectural and Engineering Managers owing to managerial duties. However, the new job also has technical aspect to it since I will be responsible for sound technical design for the product/services we will prepare.
Can you guys please give your thoughs on these two issues. Thank you in advance for your time and help.
best,
I am not a lawyer, but to the best of my knowledge I can answer as follows:
1. As far as I know, E-verify does not speak with I485 system. Even if it does, it should not be a big deal as you can always reply to the RFE about EVL.
2. Similarity of jobs is a major issue in your case. This needs to be very very carefully evaluated by a good lawyer, as to me (and I am not a lawyer) these two jobs sound totally different. There is a major salary difference that will need to be justified as well. If I were to be you, I will definitely have it evaluated by a good lawyer before making the switch as this can potentially put the entire GC process at risk.
Good Luck.

First off it is Alien REGISTRATION number and you can find it on the newer I-140 approvals OR you can use your OPT EAD card A# if you were ever on an F1.
IT IS NOT your passport number and it is issued by the USCIS. If you dont have it check with ur lawyer. If you are not sure pls leave it blank.

I had a similar case. I would suggest going to India because they have handled similar cases (such as mine) and have a better chance of understanding your situation.
You should read my post. I had described the issue along with resolution...and there is good advice/dialouge with the members

Here is the abstract of the paper....
Abstract:
Immigrants have historically provided one of America's greatest competitive advantages. They have come to the United States largely to work and have played a major role in the country's recent growth. Between 1990 and 2007, the proportion of immigrants in the U.S. labor force increased from 9.3 percent to 15.7 percent. Approximately 45 percent of the growth of the work force over this period consisted of immigrants. Moreover, a large and growing proportion of immigrants come with high levels of education and skill. They have contributed disproportionately in the most dynamic part of the U.S. economy - the high-tech sector. Immigrants have co-founded firms such as Google, Intel, eBay, and Yahoo. And immigrant inventors contributed to more than a quarter of U.S. global patent applications.
Since even before the 2008 financial and economic crisis, some observers have noted that a substantial number of highly skilled immigrants have started returning to their home countries, including persons from low-income countries like India and China who have historically tended to stay permanently in the United States. These returnees contributed to the tech boom in those countries and arguably spurred the growth of outsourcing of back-office processes as well as of research and development.
Who are these returnees? What motivated their decision to leave the United States? How have they fared since returning?
This paper attempts to answer these questions through a survey of 1,203 Indian and Chinese immigrants who had worked or received their education in the United States and returned to their home country.
We find that, though restrictive immigration policies caused some returnees to depart the United States, the most significant factors in the decision to return home were career opportunities, family ties, and quality of life.

HR 5882 Counterpart Introduced in Senate by Hon. MENENDEZ
Link: http://menendez.senate.gov/newsroom/record.cfm?id=301666&
Press Release of Senator Menendez
SENATOR MENENDEZ INTRODUCES BILL TO EXTEND E-VERIFY PROGRAM, INCREASE VISA EFFICIENCY AND STRENGTHEN FAMILIES
E-verify portion of bill mirrors version passed overwhelmingly passed by House this evening
Friday, August 1, 2008
WASHINGTON� U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) yesterday evening introduced legislation to renew the electronic system for employers to check the documentation of prospective employees, and to ensure that unused work or family-based visas are utilized. The Visa Efficiency and E-Verify Extension Act of 2008 will help American businesses and will protect family unity by reauthorizing the E-Verify program, recapturing unused or unclaimed employment-based visas and family-sponsored visas from fiscal years 1992 through 2007 and allowing unused family and employment-based visas in future years to automatically �roll over� to the next fiscal year. The E-Verify portion of the legislation mirrors E-Verify legislation passed this evening in the House of Representatives by a 407-2 vote.
Senators Patty Murray (D-WA), Ted Kennedy (D-MA) and Maria Cantwell (WA) joined Senator Menendez as co-sponsors of the bill. The proposed legislation would shorten the long lines of families and employees currently waiting to receive green cards.
�Verifying that workers have their proper documentation is certainly important, and this bill ensures we are doing that while being fair to families who have waited in line for years and have paid their visa fees to reunite with their loved ones,� said Sen. Menendez. �We must couple the E-verify effort, which is good for business, with policy that is also good for families � it fits with our American value system and is a step towards fixing our broken immigration system.�
Summary of The Visa Efficiency and E-Verify Extension Act of 2008:
Recapture of Unused Visas: This bill recaptures unused or unclaimed employment-based visas and family-sponsored visas from fiscal years 1992 through 2007 and allows unused family and employment-based visas in future years to automatically �roll over� to the next fiscal year.
Extension of the Conrad State 30 Program: The bill extends the Conrad State 30 program for 5 years to June 1, 2013. The Conrad State 30 program was designed to provide each of the fifty U.S. states with 30 waivers for J-1 physicians each fiscal year.
Extension of Religious Worker Program: The bill requires DHS to issue final regulations to eliminate or reduce fraud related to the granting of special immigrant status for individuals working in a religious vocation or occupation. The bill extends the special immigrant non-minister religious worker program to October 1, 2011. Under this bill, the DHS Inspector General shall submit on the effectiveness of the regulations to reduce fraud by 2010.
Reauthorization of E-verify: This bill also reauthorizes the Department of Homeland Security�s (DHS) Basic Pilot electronic employment eligibility verification program, also known as �E-Verify.� This legislation provides for a 5-year extension of this program for the electronic employment verification of employees.
Protection of Social Security Administration Programs: This legislation requires DHS to provide timely and appropriate payments to the Social Security Administration so that E-verify does not interfere with SSA�s ability to serve seniors, people with disabilities, and survivors.
Government Accountability Office (GAO) Study of Basic Pilot Confirmation System: This bill requires the GAO to report to Congress on the causes of erroneous tentative nonconfirmations, how they are remedied and the effect they have on individuals, employers and federal agencies. It also requires the GAO to examine the experiences of small businesses, non-profits and municipalities with using Basic Pilot.

No reason to deny your 7th year H1 extension based on the fact that it is for a different role. It DOESNT have to be "same or similar" for this case.
But the "same or similar" comes into picture for your 485 approval. Well........ at that time ... if the original LC position is still available for you permanently, no issues.
Hi Guys,
Here is my situation:
- Labor & I 140 cleared: PD Jan 07 EB2
- Currently working on 6th year H1B, lawyer is asking me to extend the H1B visa for another 3 years since the I-140 has cleared.
- Changed my job title from a project engineer to a lead engineer 180 days after filing I485 ( with lawyer consent).
- Now offered a manager role with in the same organization hence accepted the offer without notifying the lawyer.
- Lawyer will ask me to file for a H1b extension in July/Aug time frame do you believe this might create a huge issue due to change in the role from an engineer to a manager (still within the engineering organization though)?
Would really appreciate your inputs and comments to this, is there anything on the USICS website that clarifies this.
Thanks
Amit
