One of the biggest gripe, that legal retrogressed immigrants have about the immigration system here, is that the current retrogression locks them up in one position far too long for them to grow in career. Either your company was not advised properly by your attorney or you were not aware of this simple rule that you need to work in the same job category (with as many employers as you wish subject AC21) until about six month passes after you get your green card. Otherwise you could run into trouble at some point.

Hi pkrg21,
So before I-485 becomes current, as long as I-140 gets approved, then we are okay to lose current job, either laid off or change job? I think I-140 approval doesn't take long, right? It's just I-485 takes forever?
I'm quite new to this process. My employer just filed Labor Certificate last week. I'm also a little worried if my employer goes bankruptcy some day.
Thanks,
~ray
No the process must be completely restarted if you loose your job after I-140 approval.The only thing you get is the priority date.If your I-485 is already applied and it is pending for 180 days then there is no issue and you are safe.

My LCA for H1B extn for 6 years is approved on July 15. But still my company lawyer is not ready to file the extn. He keeps on saying that I didn't get the approval notice from DOL, It's certified online only, So without physical approval document, I cannot proceed.
Guys, Since it's certified already, Can he get a LCA detail and print using his account from iCert?
I also checked the online status in iCert (he gave me the case No), the status says certified.
So in this How long DOL took to send the physical copy of LCA?
Since my H1B is expiring October, I need to file extn ASAP. My company lawyer is not helpful ...
Your replies are much appreciated ....

Interfiling can be a success or a failure depending on how you/your lawyer treats the case.
I know someone who successfully got his interfiling done from a 2007 EB2 to 2004 EB3 date and has the GC already.
Now,
Even if your lawyer files the case perfectly there is a chance that the case lands with an IO that either doesnt "LIKE" interfiling or doesnt understand it. So then again the casse might take longer than usual.
But as far as I know , cases are done and I havent seen any case that was filed properly being rejected, nevertheless there are people who are still waiting for adjudication but not rejected.

Wow, very interesting. Though I might experiment with cropping (first try would be cutting off the bottom, including the one bird down there, to make it more panoramic and [hopefully] make the horizon less centered), there's not really anything that I'd change about this photo. Good work, IMHO. :)

its good to use your OPT card as long as its vaild and then move to H1, there is no time frame for stamping, its always good to go to your home country and then get it stamped,but once you start working on H1(your payrolls starts on H1) then your H1 clock starts

Hi,
I am completing my h1 4 years and 7 months..
Planning to apply for GC.....I don't know about PERM processing...
1, How long its taking for PERM processing (including ad etc.,)?
2. Which center is doing PERM faster?
3. will there be any issue if 2 companies file for LC for me in the same center? my current employer is going file LC, but thinking to join some other company.
Please help.
1. To file the PERM itself it is minimum 60 days, though realistically it would be closer to 75-90 days to file. Regarding processing time, it depends on which category, if it is subject to audit, etc. I would say average would be 4-5 months.
2. Chicago hands-down is definitely faster than Atlanta.
3. No.

My labour was filed for a software engineer position (java, udb, etc) 3 years ago. Over that time, my role has changed to a project manager. Infact I don't do any coding anymore. If I invoke AC21 after 180 days, can I switch to a Project Manager position?
thanks,
These are two different skills, unless you can manage to have job description of your new job to be the same as in LC. Or you can leave it the way it is, provided your employer intends to hire you as a software engineer upon approval of LC, and you intend to accept it. In the meantime, do whatever you want - project management or anything unrelated.

The reporter has already talked with me and two other IV members. we do not make good cases for her. The main theme of her article is 'highly skilled immigrants leaving USA because of retrogression'. She would like to talk to anyone who has decided to leave because of this problem. Anyone who meets this requirement please write to me urgently on jungalee43@yahoo.com
Please do not forget to mention your phone number and your permission for the reporter to contact you on that number. There is only one day left as she wants to publish her article on Friday i.e. April 7. If you are from North Carolina, then that would be a great thing for her article.

I saw a prior post talking about this issue but has no answer. I am very upset about it.
Vermont Center received my OPT Application on Oct 31,2008. But I checked my status online and it said, "Your case can not be found at this time in Case Status Online. Please check your receipt number and try again. If you need further assistance please call the National Customer Service Center at 1.800.375.5283."
Could anyone who experienced this could tell me why? (I inputted the case number correctly.) Can you guys still get your OPT card after this happened?
Thanks a lot!

This obviously depends on the reason it was refurbished, but I would expect that most refurb cameras are warranty returns that have been fixed of whatever the warranty problem was. Since the repair would replace the failed part, it would be fair to say that they are at least as good as the original one (and if it's a "common problem part" then it's even likely that a new, better part has replaced the faulty part, which would make it BETTER than the original one).
And obviously, with consideration for the reputation of the company, I would expect that Nikon doesn't sell refurbished cameras that have any notable faults (scrapes, scratches, dust, etc) - if the damage isn't in an easy to replace part, the camera is probably used for scrap parts for other repair projects, or just destroyed.
Of course, I would check what the terms and conditions for returns, refunds and warranty is - are you paying less because you get less warranty, or simply because it has 10 or 100 exposures on the "clock", or because you get less warranty or other rights to complain?
