Question:
I filed my i 140 and i 485 on Dec 23rd 2003 under EB3 category. I think my labor was filed under EB3 category. My Priority date is Mid August 2003. After 180 days of filing (around Nov 2004) I left my sponsoring company and joined another company with similar Job responsibility (to avail AC21), But didn't get my H1b transferred to new company. My new job require Master degree and 5 years of experience. I have acquired my master degree before joining my new company. I got married recently and Ofcourse I can't file for my wife's i 485 since I am from India and visa numbers are not available.
Can I get my H1Bvisa transferred to new employer if he is willing to sponsor?
Can I file another i 485 under EB2 as my new job requires Master degree?

I just entered US on my AP. Old one (stamped one) was valid till May 08 09 and I had a renewed AP. The IO asked for both old and new AP. I had only the new one. He said I am supposed to carry both. Then he issued me a stamp valid till dec 30 09 and said am supposed to carry the stamped AP paper along with the stamp all the time. Then I aksed about the expiry validity. He said I have to have a new AP after the AP expiry date on AP not on the passport.
But I heard the otherway at the canada border.

I was working with Employer-A till 30/Nov/08 and then filed H1 transfer with employer-B. I started working with Employer B on Dec/08/08 as we received the receipt.
My H1B visa transfer with Employer-B was denied on Mar/02/2009 as the contract between Employer-B and Client was not signed by Client.
My current H1B transfer is denied and previous H1B and I-94 is expired.
Current H1B transfer:
Start date: Nov-21-08,
RFE received: Dec-30-08,
RFE responded: Feb-06-09
RFE expiry date: Feb-10-09
Received Denial: Mar-02-09.
Previous H1B with Employer-A expired: Jan-31-09.
I-94 expired: Feb-10-2009.
What are my options? I believe that I am out of status since Mar/02/09 (Denial date). Is there any way that I can stay on H1 status in US? I think H1 transfer is not possible as my current H1 is denied and previous H1 is expired. Can anyone confirm?
If any new employer sponsors H1 for me with premium processing (I think I dont need to go through 2009 lottery system as I have already got H1 in 2006 cap), Is it legal for an employer to sponsor new H1B when beneficiary is out of status in US? Should I leave US and then my new employer can file fresh H1 using same 2006 cap so I dont need to go trhough 2009 lottery. Which is the good option? Should I stay in US or India while filing new H1? Within how much time should I leave the country? Is it ok to overstay for 15-20 days after denial?
Please guide me asap. Thanking you in advance!
If you are able to get the contract signe by your end client, you can appeal. Untill the final decision comes you would be in status. Otherwise you are already out of status. So might leave sooner. Also talk to attorney and update here. It might be useful for people who are in the same situation.

Very Very Soft LUD = when 1 case before you and 1 after you.. is touched (Soft LUD) not necessarily consecutive cases :D

The same thing happened with me also...........this is just plain BS to put us off for atleast 6 months. USCIS does not even tries to find where the hell the case is and will send you the standard letter.
Let all know the outcome of contacting the senators and I might just follow your foot steps. I know for sure that my case is just waiting a visa # still I had opened up a SR to know where abouts of my case.
Man,if ever I get my citizenship, I'd surely sue USCIS for all this bullshit. Your case is way beyond normal processing time and when you file a SR, they send a std. reply asking you to contact after 30 to 60 days. After sixty days, you file another SR and get the same reply and this goes on and on till someone shows mercy!
Will American's put up with this bullshit? Imagine they going to a DMV and asked to come back over and over again before getting a DL. Imagine waiting for years and years to get a passport. I'm sure they wont and expect reasonable service from the government.
It's our time that we have to put up with all these nonsense.
I know, this is a choice we made to come and work here....At the same time, all we are asking for is a reasonable level of service and USCIS is hell bent on denying it.

Ask your H1B holding company what should be your reply in case Consultate asks you about client details. This question will come to you 100%. So prepare for it. If you and your H1B holding company is satisfied then its fine. One solutions could be to mention in DS 156 that you are workking at your H1B holding company place. But its just a thought. Discuss it with your company.

Alright my last understanding was wrong.
So to recap what I understand :-
You have a PD of 2002 in EB3. Have approved I-140 and pending 485.
What you want to do is file a new labor in EB2, use your approved I-140 to change PD to 2002 and then file 485 in EB2.
Since you have a 485 filed, why would you want another 485 ?
Possible reason :- You think EB3 is retrogressed right now - so the final approval may not come for another 2 years possibly ( i.e. if no bills pass )
If you convert your case to EB2 which is current, you may have your actual GC much sooner.
Now to your question - what happens if the old employer revokes I-140.
I've come across different answers to it. There are lawyers who believe that once your 140 is approved, the PD is yours for life. Only time you will lose it is if the 140 is revoked due to fraud. Normal revocation request from employer will not impact it. Some lawyers are of the opinion that it may not work this way. This is an untested scenario - atleast to my knowledge. There is some risk in it but you can minimize it by first asking the new employer to file a PERM in EB2, get it approved, file for I-140 in Premium and change your PD. Once all of this is done, you should change your company to the new employer ( provided dates are still current for EB2 ). This way you run very little risk.
If I were you, I would use AC-21 to change employers. The process you are trying to go is a long one and its going to take time. But yes, there are distinct advantages in getting over with this process and probably I might had been tempted to do it too :-)
Sorry for the long winded answer - the short answer is revocation of I-140 by your previous employer will not impact your PD transfer. But its not for certain - its believed to be so by some lawyers. ( I've talked to 3 of them on this issue and majority feels it will not impact )

Could anyone, please help me with this issue?:
My company who sponsored my green card is living in Massachusets....is it ok if my company sent the package of I-485 and I-140 to Nebraska?( concurrent filing)..they should't have sent the package to Texas? ( my consulting company is in MA, but I work at the client site in Texas).
Please advise me as I'm very confused and worried.

Thanks for the response.
The problem is not with current pay vs future pay. The company has other project managers (US Citizens) and will only pay what others get as PMs. The classification gave a pay that is almost 50% more than what other PMs make.
So the company will not commit/be willing to pay that high wage. Why should they? I know my company pays more than average of what PMs get in the industry. BTW it is not a consulting company and I work directly for the company, not clients.
I think the problem is that any kind of manager in computer/IT industry is classified under Computer information systems manager. While there can be hundreds of classifications that are not CIS managers.
To put things in perspective, the classification is for my boss's boss. But the job done by me and my boss and his boss are totally different.
So my question remains. How do we get classification as Project manager under EB2 with proper wages?

How come they cannot consider my EAD, Official transcripts, Graduate status letter?
Regarding Status letter, I have seen students applying like this and getting query later. What do you say about the students graduating in May (who files like me with OPT card and status letter) and applying for H1 in April?
You can postpone your graduation but you need to have completed all your credit hours and thesis work if any before you can apply on the master's degree quota. That is what people use their status letters for, to tell the USCIS that they have completed all degree requirements but will graduate later. In your case, since you haven't finished your degree requirements and will not do so by the time you apply for your H1B, the status letter is of no use.

What I have mostly heard is that people in consulting jobs are the ones who are having issues at POEs and not the ones in permanent/full-time positions...I am not making a statement here but saying this is what I heard and read.
Even working in IBM become something like a consulting job due to their change in business model. So how would the POE determine that somebody who's a "permanent" (is there such a thing in today's economy) employee is not actually into "consulting". Hey even McK guys are "consultants". I think the word you might be looking for is "salaried" employees.

Thanks Veni001. Yes, I did file for AC-21 when I changed my employer. Are there chances of my old I-140 cancelling even after fillinf for AC-21?
Thanks...
As far as i know H1-B is not a requirement, but having it provide you fall back option. If you have not used AC21 and your old I-140 gets canceled( for any reason) before new I-140 approval, you will land in trouble.
The employer has to prove that there is a EB-2( Master's/Bachelor +5 yrs) job available and he can not find a qualified US Citizen/Permanent Resident for that job to get new PERM approval. DOL checks PERM job requirements against their database, and most of the time software jobs with Job descriptions of Master's or Bachelor +5 yrs required gets audited by DOL so we can not really predict how long does it take to get PERM approval.
After PERM a second audit on job requirement comes from the USCIS at I-140, once these two hurdles passed you need to send a ltr to USCIS to port I-485 category and date.
Based on the posts on this forum, if no audits, PERM is getting approved in about 8 months and I-140 in about 6 months.

I heard companies like TCS Wipro HCL (all desi outsourcing firms) have now started to again apply for H1B instead of L1...are they doing green cards too?
Yes, some of them do.
And depending on your luck/contacts/influence you might even extract an EB-1A out of them and get your GC in 6-9 months.

Thanks for reply, if you don't mind, do you have the USCISs' announcement link about this pre-adjudication ? Does it say those who pre-adjudicated will not get any future RFE/Denials ?
Unfortunately, there is no such guarantee. All any claim of pre-adjudication could mean is that if there were a visa number available (and we know there aren't any for EB2-I or EB3-I at this time) as of the day the case was pre-adjudicated, the applicant could be issued his/her green card.
When a visa number does become available, the adjudicating officer will review the case again before issuing the green card. Since these are employment-based immigrant visas, at any point the officer could request evidence that the employment position, that is related to this application, still exists.
