I agree with this....File a new labour and you need to get the 140 approved. Once it is approved ,you can reclaim your old priority date for 485.
dont file a second 485. Wait for teh second I-140 to be approved, then just interfile this into the old one. Did you already request your older PD when you filed this new I-140? Thats the stage where you typically request teh older PD, though you can also do it when you request to interfile.
New I-140 getting rejected should not have an impact on the old EB3-I-140 as long as the denial is not something that can be a reason for denial of the older one. So if this is denied due to ability-to-pay, or not qualifying for EB2, you are still ok as long as you had qualified properly for that older one. In many cases USCIS has gone back and looked at teh first I-140 when a new one is denied, to see if the older one also has the same problem.

Ported EB3 to EB2 India Green Card Approved on wife's birthday :D
EB3 India GC PD 03/27/2003 :o
Labour approved : 08/01/2003 :)
I140 & I485 applied concurrently on 08/16/2003 in NSC :)
I140 denied due to education on 05/20/2004 :mad:
Applied MTR and I140 approved on 07/24/2004 :)
No count od EAD's & AP's applied :confused:
Switched job using EAD on 02/15/2005 :cool:
Remained on EAD status since than :eek:
Applied EB2 Labour on 08/15/2010 (started Porting process to EB2) in TSC :p
Labour approved on 12/12/2010 :o
Applied Premium I-140 01/15/2011 (Paid extra $1200 for that) in TSC :)
Eb2 I-140 approved on 02/08/2011 :o
Notification for approved I-140 sent on 03/06/2011 ;)
Lawyer notified NSC of pending I-485 on 03/08/2011 :rolleyes:
Recieved approval email on 03/24/2011 :D
I strongly recomend all EB3 folks who are retrogressed for more than a year to port over to EB2 if possible. Do not waste your time trying to pass some bill in favour of legal immigration etc. It will not happen. The money spent on porting is worth it . The wait is not worth the stress, tension etc.

I am an F1 grad student - I was planning on going home this winter, and while there I would have to renew my visa so as to be able to re-enter the US.
However, while filling out the forms to set up an appointment for the renewal interview, I remembered that I had a misdemeanor conviction (I pled guilty) for bad checks (this was a very long time ago, about 6 years - it was a bad time, I made some mistakes). When I say 'yes', on the DS-156 form, in response to the question regarding criminal convictions, how likely is it that I will have my visa renewed? Isn't is usually the case that consular officers are looking for any reason to deny visas/renewals?
It seems like my only option is to postpone/cancel my trip, if I want to be able to come back to complete my studies.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Durbin (father of Dream Act) hates us. He loves to grand stand for "children of undocumented" "the down torn, the poor, the under privileged" and thinks we are like spoilt rich kid. This is a good thought, but who will bell the cat? Durbin is totally irrational when it comes to children of legal and undocumented. Not sure that you know this, but just thought of laying the facts as they are.

My case:
Worked with Co. A from 2000 - 2005
Labor filed in EB3. Priority date May/2003
Worked with Co. B from 2005 - 2008
Co. A Labor approved in Feb 2008
I-140 filed and approved in Mar 2008
I-485 Filed in June 2008 as future employee
Working with Co. C from Nov 2008 on EAD.
Now Co. A filed for chapter 11 and closed their shop.
Atty. from Co. C said to file AC21.
What are my options ? Should I file AC21 immediately or wait till my case comes up for processing ?
Anyone in similar situation or have an idea next steps.

Guys,
If one IV member moves from State A to B, what would be the process of transferring membership to state chapter?
Will it merely be a deleting datbase record from one state and adding it to another state? Or would it be again filling up survey to new state chapter..?
Thanks.
If you are moving to the Tri State Area - we will give you a red carpet welcome into our chapter :)

I am one of those that bounced around from CBSE (0-3rd) then GCSE O Level UK (4-7th) then ICSE (8th-10th) then finally back to CBSE (11-12)..it definitely hurts moving from board to board but kids are resilient and do bounce back.
However, u might want to consider schools that follow the IB (International Bacclaurate) Program. From what I have heard there are a number of schools in india that follow the IB program.
When they are in nursery/kindergarden, it definitely does not matter which "board" the school follows because they pretty much learn the same stuff anywhere in the world.

Your wife can not extend her H1b.
If both of you have EAD/AP, you should use that to continue working.
Otherwise, you can extend your H1b and continue working. She can not.
If your new H1b is already approved (don't understand why you are not using your EAD and keeping H1b open), and you want to get entry on H1b for the time period on new h1b approval, you need to get the visa stamped from US consulate (for the same time as new H1b validity period). Otherwise you will be allowed to enter for remaining time period for old approval.

Hi all,
I know the Forums are still pretty active but is the IV Organisation itself still active?
I came across the IV website yesterday and was really stuck by the mission statement of the Organisation. I did not think twice - went ahead and got registered and made one time donation. I even voted for one of the polls for Sep 18 rally and making plans to visit DC but only to realise today that it was really old one :) Also when I was reviewing the forums today I realised that most of the activities seem to be around years 2006-2007 - like Fundraising Campaign or Media News ,etc.
Appreciate anyones response to let me know if IC is still active. Please do not direct any personal attacks. I did not need to explore GC info so far since my GC was started only during March of 2010 & got my Lc approved only yesterday.
If the organisation is still active, I am looking forward to joing the CT chapter. Thanks!

You can see many denials for 3 year degree people in various forums including IV.
I have one copy of the denial of my friend in hand. (AAO appeal in progress)
It is 3+1+2=6, still they denied for EB2.
Before 3 year degree people go with some notorious evaluators (you know who) and get evaluated with professor letter (pay $500 to $1000). What they will do is 'find and replace' option in microsoft word file template to change the candidates name and issue a 200 page opinion letter. (all candidates will get same letter, only change in name and university).
Now this is not flying with USCIS.
So we can see increase in the denials.
Could you please share source/link for your assertion?

Thanks for your response
As per my employer adv :
Required degree : Masters degree in Engineering or related field (no experience)
The education evaluation was done from ITES inc., I have got this for applying H1B in Apr 2005, which includes my prior experience. We have used the same education evaluation for I-140 in Aug'07. Since the experience was combined in my education evaluation, CIS is now asking for a new evaluation based solely on education.
If you cld submit an eval just for education, you shld be ok

http://capwiz.com/justiceforimmigrants/issues/alert/?alertid=9714021&queueid=[capwiz:queue_id]
U.S. SENATE TO CONSIDER IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION
CONTACT YOUR SENATORS TODAY
U.S. SENATE TO CONSIDER IMMIGRATION LEGISLATION
Background. Democratic and Republican Senators, along with the Bush Administration, are currently negotiating compromise immigration reform legislation which could be considered on the floor of the U.S. Senate beginning the week of May 14. Should these negotiations falter, the Democratic leadership could choose to bring the STRIVE Act, or a similar bill, to the floor for immediate consideration. It is important that you contact your Senators in the next few days and ask for their support for a just and humane immigration reform bill.
USCCB Position. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and other organizational members of the Justice for Immigrants (JFI) Campaign are working to ensure that any compromise immigration legislation includes the principles set forth by the U.S. bishops. Any legislation which would warrant USCCB support would include:
1. a legalization program for the undocumented which includes family unity and a realistic path to citizenship;
2. a new worker program with worker protections and a path to citizenship; and
3. the preservation of family reunification as a cornerstone of our immigration system and the elimination of family backlogs and waiting times.
To contact your Senators, call 202-224-3121. The sample letter can be accessed via the JFI website at www.justiceforimmigrants.org or can be faxed to the Senators� offices. Use link below to Email the Senators.
