If your PERM job description says the minimum qualification for the position is a masters in your major, AND you can furnish evidence that your masters course work/thesis taught you the skills relevant to your job then there should be no issues with EB2. A letter from your advisor/course instructor certifying the skills that you learnt as part of the course/thesis should be enough evidence on your part.
Hi,
Will anybody know what kind of issues I will face if I go for EB2 with MS+0or Will it go through fine ? Want to know both for LC and I-140 stage.
Thanks

This is my first H1-b. My interview was on Jan. 4, 2008 in Toronto and got 221g for administrative review. I faxed my research description the VO requested to US consulate in Toronto on Jan. 7, 2008, got the check finished email today. I keep calling DOS for my status during the waiting time. It may work for my case. It is really a pain time. Good luck to you.
Hi I am stuck in 221(g) since mid-November 2007..over 75 days..can you provide some details about your case?
Mine is H1B 3 extension for 7th year at Mumbai. I am not getting any help in this matter from the authorities that my lawyer has contacted...only the standard response that it they are awaiting a response.
If you like you can send me a private message. Thank you very much in advance for your feedback.

.......you can work for a private for-profit enterprise too. But you should be able to satisfy the usual test for NIW such as Intrinsic merit, National interest etc(google the criteria).
If in the field of your work you have created an imapct which is national in scope, you have achieved academic distinction, have papers, citations, patents etc and can produce recommendation letters from your industry stalwarts... then NIW can be justified.
I am not an attorney.., ;) but I did the justification for my wife's self petition successfully. It worked for her, but may not necessarily hold up for every one. I think individual cases need to be evaluated for suitability and probability of success.
thanks,
slowwin
Without a job offer from a national lab, it makes it hard to say why I want to skip the labor certification. Companies that need work of national interest now first ask for a green card before they give a job offer in a chicken and egg game. That I am nearing the end of 6-ye H1B may not be good enough reason to bypass labor. The most reasonable argument I can think of is that my stopping work will harm US national interests and no one else can do that work because I am special. What do you think?

I'm in my 9th year of H1B which is going to expire in about six months. My employer is suggesting to extend H1B and not use or extend EAD. Based on your experience and knowledge please post your advise. If a post like this already exists, please point me to that. I could not find one easily. Thanks a lot.

hello;
Here are my details.
1. currently in 8th yr extn on orig H1( h1 extn is there until mar 2010); 140 approved in march 2007
2. filed 485 in june 07, got AP/ead in oct 07 ( eb3, apr 2003)
3. became eligible for ac21 in jan 2008
4. so far not yet used AP or ead
the qn is -->
1. if i use ac21 , can i have the new company transfer my H1? (even tho im past the 6 yr original limit)
2. first join the new company using EAD, then ask them to apply for H1 transfer. will this work?
3. if the new company doesnt sponsor my H1, then does that mean i will never be able to marry a girl from india and get her here on dependent visa (h4) before my GC approval.
4. pple who use EAD and chg jobs, is there any way in which they can get to add a spouse as a derivative 485 appln before the GC gets approved.
can you give ur opinion regd the above qns? thanks
The important question you have is about marrying girl?
Stay in h1b and get your spouse h4 after marriage.
When you do not have h1b there is no way to bring her.
I hope there are lot of questions in your message and they are answered in lot of places in this website. Please go through.

Thanks to Thomachan (for highlighting why legal immigrant's children should be considered in the Dream Act) and Sanju ( for focussing on the key decision makers who can influence this). I am sure we can make atleast an attempt to get this included. :). This will help legal immigrants with children in high school and college to a large extent.

What would happen if my new EB2 application for some reason gets rejected. In that case will that affect my exisiting EB3 485 application in any way?

I am one of the July 2 filers. I need to go to India on 1st November. I was hoping that AP will come by that time. But there has been no progress on that. Just spoke to my Attorney. She said that USCIS does not have any facility to issue AP for an emergency.
Then I called USCIS. I was told the same thing. The Customer Service representative said - I should go wherever I need to go. On arrival contact the local US Embassy and tell them that you need AP to travel back. They will "guide you".
On this forum I have read about INFOPASS many times. I was hoping to use that facility if I did not get AP in time. I am trying to find out if anybody actually used INFOPASS to meet a local Immigration Officer and got AP on an emergency basis.
No theoretical guesses please.
Thanks

If your husband is working for one of the infamous desi outfits where bench means no salary, then I'd suggest that you avoid travelling since you may be asked to produce a paystub on return.
OTOH, if your husband is working for a legitimate consulting company that pays him even when he is not billable to a client, then you have nothing to fear about.
huh? I thought being employed at all times was an H-1B requirement and not an AOS requirement.
OP hasn't made it clear whether he is still on H-1B or just AOS/EAD.

I am not sure why it's so hard to understand what I want :)
1- My wife's h4 visa will expire after 4 years
2- I already have my h1b extension
3- What I am saying that if I don't get the stamp in time, I am planning to enter with AP
Given all the points above, and the fact that I'll be working on H1b status, would this void my wife's h4 visa?

Hello
MY new 140 approved with PERM. Yet to see the approval but I hope they classified me in Eb2 and placed my old PD.please see my signature for the details
I have the following questions
1. What are the different things one can do to speed up the interfile process
2. Do we need to go through medicals again, last done in 2007?
3. Do we need to go through FBI clearance, last done in late 2007?
Asking Question #2 and #3 because it costs money and I have to spend from own pocket, employer not covering from 140 onwards
Any experience, thoughts, inputs are appreciated
Thank you

Most Indian companies fall under the same category, it depends on what you want to achieve in your career. It might be a great idea to join a company like Satyam as a senior exec taking on offshoring strategy execution, but if you are looking for a consultant job on H1, the experience might be similar to Infy, Wipro et al. These companies try to exploit their popular brand image in India and talk in terms of offering competitive career path in the USA - but you gotta be smarter than that.
Make sure you ask for - 1) A good deserving salary along with Cost of living benefits 2) Commitment (Written) on GC sponsorship 3) Relocation benefits (if they are going to move you every 6 months, they better pay all of what you incur) 4) The customer you are going to work for and your job responsibilities (for all you know they might get you in as Programmer then make you just coordinate stuff with offshore or "support" their applications onsite; both are big time career killers).

Dude, in a bunch of applications - some are approvable while others require more information. Do you want them to keep waiting on unapprovable applications, with old PDs, while the clock is ticking and the unused visas go waste before Oct 2008? Guess not?
That's why they advanced the PDs to give some room to approve later PD applications that are otherwise approvable. They do not have any math involved. They were playing "inky-pinky-ponky" to pick a month & yr to set EB-2 cutoff dates for Aug VB - the only logic was to advance it to a comfortable point--nothing beyond tht. They don't care about few months here and there, and don't care if they raise hopes of some immigrations or shatter hopes of others.
Is it just me missing something? Does it make sense?
Yes. Its simple math. But if it was 10K visas a year, then why did they have to jump forward by more than 2 yrs? Nobody knows how USCIS works internally. The math that v have and the one that they have differ a lot and unexpected things (for good or bad) happen all the time.

Its not too late yet....You will get H1 extension beyond 6 yrs if you meet one of the below conditions:
-- labor certification is pending for 365 days ---(This is not applicable to you)
-- I-140 is approved -- (You have a chance with this option)
Apply asap for labor certification. With the PERM process it usually takes 2-3 months to get it certified. Then you can apply for I-140 in Premium Processing and get it certified within 15 days.
Make sure you hire a good attorney and push to get the 2 stages cleared fast. Then you can file for H1 extension and get a 3 yr extension with approved I-140.
Good Luck..

While entering the USA in Aug 2007 the Immigration office gave me I-94 validity till June 2008 which is equal to my H1-B Visa Stamp validity in passport, I had my new I-797 H1-B document from new employer with valid I-94 at the bottom till Sep 2009.
Will the I-94 validity given by immigration officer over rules the I-797 I-94 validity. If so, can i apply for the extension. Or shall i go out of the country and while entering ask the immigration officer to give validity based on my new I-797.
Thanks in advance.
