I was in a similar situation .. my employer ended up applying using my bachelor's degree. You can do that, as long as you are not claiming one of the 20000 visas exempted from the cap for masters degree holders.
As stated above, it says that i can apply on april1st. Now i am graduating in masters in may. Can I still apply on april 1st, dont I need the diploma to apply for H1B? Please explain.

Thanks GCBY3000 !!!
I am in for $100.
By the way if we have 20,000 members and even if each pledge $5, we can reimburse the core team expenses. How often we have to teach and tell the Math to our so called highly skilled free riders.
Some should be feeling really guilty for using IV and not contributing till now. Come out the stingy attitude and help.

Dear Mehul,
You are a great inspiration of strength to the rest of us, miracles do happen and don't loose hope...my thoughts and prayers are with you!
AS for GC, I have a coworker whose dad, the primary applicant , passed away, and only 1 dependent was able to continue process and just recently got his GC. Most likely, your wife will not be forced to return home.
Stay strong and positive!

[QUOTE=desi3933;486996]1. You can be self employed on c-corp as well. Please go to bank of your choice and you will get the answer. I do have business accounts and speaking from my own experience.
Here are the IRS guidelines on filing taxes as an Independent Contractor (Self-Employed) or Employee: Independent Contractor (Self-Employed) or Employee? (http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=99921,00.html)
2. Here is one RFE issued by USCIS. This should answer that AC-21 job must be permanent and match your labor/I-140
Since nowhere do USCIS/DOL explain as to what constitutes a "permanent" job, one can *assume* that being self-employed (or working for a staffing company on contract) is a "permanent" job, regardless of the project's duration, and mention that on EVL. IRS guidelines could help: http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=154770,00.html
3. See point 2.
4. Contract extension does not mean job is permanent. And, yes, 6 year contract job is temporary in nature. Permanent job can not have end date. Period.
I didn't imply that "contract extension means job is permanent," as you inferred. Also, can you point us to a USCIS/DOL resource to confirm that definition of a "permanent" job?
5. Dual intent visa means that it can be issued even if I-140 or I-130 has been filed on your behalf. Nothing more than that. GC job is independent of H-1B job.
Yes, GC is always for a future job--it's got nothing to do with your H1B job. And here's what I saw on dual-intent visas:
"Under the Dual Intent Doctrine, some nonimmigrants are allowed to enter and/or remain in the U.S. temporarily with a nonimmigrant visa even though they have expressed a long term intent to remain permanently. Presently, only E, H-1 and L category visa holders are allowed to remain nonimmigrants while simultaneously pursuing permanent resident status. Other nonimmigrant visa holders may be denied extensions or re-issuance of a nonimmigrant visa if they appear to have a dual intent of coming to the U.S. temporarily while pursuing permanent resident status."
6. Again, Permanent job is a job that is expected to last unknown term and is not defined for a period.
Can you point us to a USCIS/DOL resource to confirm that definition of "permanent "job?
H-1B job is not permanent since they have end date specified by LCA and H-1B visa petition.
If *no* H1B job is "permanent," as you say, then how can that job be permanent after filing PERM or I-140? Second, following your argument, if you're on H-1B and changed employers using AC21, the new job wouldn't be considered "permanent," right? Third, if H-1B job is not "permanent," then which one is?
7. Here is a case for I-140 that was denied, since offered I-140 job was not permanent full-time job. Read for yourself
Link to case (http://www.uscis.gov/err/B6%20-%20Skilled%20Workers,%20Professionals,%20and%20Oth er%20Workers/Decisions_Issued_in_2009/Jan022009_06B6203.pdf)
Please read the document fully. It says the petition was denied because "the petitioner has not established its ability to pay the
proffered wages to the beneficiaries of the other petitions or the proffered wage for the instant beneficiary." Nothing related to whether the job was "permanent," FT. Also, As I said, there's a difference between being on a "permanent" future job (for which I-140 was filed) and being on a "permanent" job using AC21 provision.

Well, my old carcass is getting too aged to handle that anymore. So now I ease off the sauce and go to the gym.
But I do also try to notice and enjoy the silliness of the every day human condition. (Still to this day, I'm not sure why I mow my lawn, for instance.) A sense of humour is very important. Recognition that there are others less fortunate. And stay connected with friends socially.
And also recognize that fact that a green card won't make me magically happier beyond the immediate jubilation. Yes it is good to regain the rights we lost coming to the US. To speeches I'll still smile, nod, even clap and think "what a bunch of nonsense!" for privacy is the true freedom that you still have. But I'll still work for a living. I'll still put on a dress shirt to impress clients I'll never see. I'll still try to spend more time creating than managing. Not simply because my h1b legally requires me to do so, but because managing is intellectually trivial. Or one could say that managing is the work of man, creation is the work of the gods. ; )
Chin up!

I am happy to see some beginings here.. although we have had many many threads before for this kind of initiative but I see some difference here... Like some others said we need to draft an action plan from A to Z here (understood that it may not be exactly what we would be following over time but), we need some roadmap to follow to reach our target.
I like the idea of collecting info about who is willing to contribute and I am all for it.
btw, option 1 is not an option for me.

I have copy of that letter but it mentions the title and salary no job desc.
Possibly, that's what you need. If you can get a similar letter (same title with same, or a bit more, salary) from your new employer it should work.
Did you ever get (or ask for) your I-140 filing? It should have a copy of the LC application, and job description.

I took a printout of the receiver's signature image and the tracking information from the Fedex website just in case.
My attorney also mentioned that he submitted my case to the NSC liaison (I think he is referring to the AILA liaison of the NSC center) for follow up to see if they can help confirm the status of my application.
I'll keep you posted on the progress.
Thank you "Lutherpraveen" for info. I will react on this situation after OCT 10th (traveling right now). I will contact my lawyer and see what can be done. Keep posted on whatz happening..

Hi friend,
I understand your situation. You can do two things:
1. Watch a recent documentary movie "The Secret" (you can rent it from Blockbuster and Netflix)
2. Donate at least $100 to IV.
Good luck.
Been in the US since 1998, have an EB-2 PD of 2001, have played by the rules all along. Still no GC... And, the dates are going back to 2000 from the new year.. I've lost hopes...
I'm pretty close to getting clinical depression because of this game played by USCIS, Labor Dept, FBI and my own bad luck.
SKILL bill, OMNIBUS, etc. comes and goes. IV does seem to be doing things to lobby for the community, but let's face one reality. Like a news article said, no one in congress or senate wants to touch immigration even with a long pole until 2009.
The US has been very good to me (other than the GC part), more than my home country (India) which is why I'm still here.
Have invested too much of time in this country to just pack up and go. Just curious if any of you feel this way? How do you handle such depressing feelings?

Mehul,
Accept my heartfelt sorry for your terrible diagnosis and please see that from the prayers and support of everyone here that yours is an unjust situation. Yet some of us bear this unjust burden.
If there ever was a humanitarian reason to remove a waiting time for your family, it would be this, and I hope while you have a chance to see this is done. We take so much for granted in this life and get worked up over issues that in situations like this seem trivial.
That said, I feel that you have done your part to earn the privilege of your family living in this great nation, I can't help but feel that in a compassionate and just nation such as the USA, your case should get a waiver of the normal waiting times. As you can see from this thread, virtually 100% of us would be happy to let you cut in line in front of us. I would think most Americans are likewise.
You should definitely seek the assistance of a Lawyer to present your case to the USCIS. I think there are some provisions in place for situations such as yours to expedite such applications. A good lawyer will be able to guide you.

I tried doing that. Convinced the employer to file a new labor for a new position, advertized again, filed a new labor under PERM, applied for a new I-140 and waited for a year for approval ... now the I-140 has been denied for A2P and is under appeal; I must confess that I have lost hope that it'll get re-opened and approved.
So all my efforts for getting a EB2 140 have failed.....what do you recommend, I start this entire process again. Even if I'm willing to bear the cost, the employer will not file yet another labor.
EB3 wait is my only way out now......
thanks
Sorry to hear about your situation. I understand it's not straightforward and easy. But, if you are able to pull it off, there's nothing like it. Some friends of mine were able to port their dates successfully. It is very important to have the employer's full cooperation.
In your case, the A2P RFE is related to the company's financials and not really directly related to the EB3-EB2 porting. I hope your appeal goes through. Good luck!

Started to work on EAD since 2005.
This is my 11th year in this country, never tried to do labor substitution always was and is a legal and law abiding since I came to this country on H1, despite changing jobs been as a developer since then - till now.
This GC process got me grey very soon, unsure if I become bald. This is the state of legal immigration in this country, God bless.

There is no "approval notice" as such but a "Welcome Notice" which basically is a I-797 notice of action of the type: Welcome Notice. You will get this in one envelope per applicant.
You will get another envelope per applicant generally a few days later (1 week or so after the CPO e-mail) that has the GC in it attached to the exact same mailer that a EAD comes in; a pamphlet for new residents and a GC card cover (kind of cool!)
Thanks.
Actually i am in the same exact position as the OP and was wondering after approximately how many days, do we receive an approval notice sent email?
I got Notice welcoming new PR email on 8/5 and nothing after that.
Thanks and Good luck to all!

Well then you should have done it long time back . You are now going for your citizenship and everyone on this forum knows that.
i dont think we are going to solve anything by fighting among ourselves here... we have to take the fight up with USCIS and not among ourselves... the plight of EB-3 at this point is far far worse than EB-2... atleast we are current.. they are not even that.... we have to somehow include all fractions into what we do at this point....
EB-3 deserves a GC as much as an EB-2... and so let's not create boundaries here... United we stand... divided we fall...
what are our options.. to make the 500 pound gorilla kneel down ??
i remember a famous saying.. pen is mightier than the sword... so what are our options guys ???

DHS secy was saying they will be tough on H1 ..maybe they are tough on GC's too ..another point what if they are trying to waste the visas on purpose (to tighten immigration) ..and hence we need to send letters to media and congress. Media is a must !!
