First, find a new job and check whether the job would be the one which you would like. Get H1B transfer and move to the next job.
If i were you, with a lame excuse tell the present employer that you want to move to a another job because there is nothing challenging to work on. I liked working with you and i hope i can join you sometimes later. Praise him a lot so that he feels he had been falsely praised. If he starts talking to you about the contract tell him you would report to DOL etc..
I paid for my H1B fees and i don't care for paying the fees if i can get a raise by changing employers. This is my 3rd job and i had paid the H1B fees except one part the employer has to pay. (i.e. fraud fee, etc..) the lawyers fee is not required to be paid by the employer.
Forget of $3K, change the job and try to get 20% higher salary elsewhere a place you like. Its easy to get a new job with better compensation.
About my experience, I was working with a big desi company and they gave me 0.25% raise the first year and 0.7% raise the third year. When asked as promised when are you going to apply for my green card. They replied not this year but maybe on the 4th or 5th year because i am not fit to be a engineer. I left the company and found a small firm. I asked them to match my present salary and work on my green card. They promised me. (I like and respect Japanese onwers, they respect and treat better). They increased my salary by $13K in 6 months.
world is not small, you will find some better employer. Don't fight on small matters. Look at a big picture. Fight with your present employer only if you have no options. If you have options, cut your losses and move ahead in life.

I've had both kinds of accounts for years
NRE - you can only deposit funds from abroad, but cannot deposit funds into it from India. Havent repatriated back - so not so sure abt those rules
NRO - you can deposit funds from abroad & any money you receive in India - eg. if u get rent, or your PPF money etc. Bank will also deduct TDS on the interest you earn in this account. Not so with NRE. Legally, when you leave India, if you do not close your accounts, you shd change the status of ur existing a/c to NRO.
As far as the issue being faced by OP - dont know how much money we're talking abt here, but if your folks send u thru legal channels, they will have to explain why the money is being sent.
If you have an NRE or NRO account, the money cannot be deposited into those accounts from India. This is my personal experience.

If I read you correctly, and if someone from IV does appear before congress, we should expect BEC mess/failure (PBEC in particular) also being brought to the attention of the lawmakers, not just the retrogression. Correct?
And so are other 3 in the core group. We are as concerned about back logs as you are because its a personal battle for us too!

The above mentioned case was later denied. AAO withdrew the approval. See this link -
http://www.uscis.gov/err/B5%20-%20Members%20of%20the%20Professions%20holding%20Ad vanced%20Degrees%20or%20Aliens%20of%20Exceptional% 20Ability/Decisions_Issued_in_2009/Apr282009_01B5203.pdf
This was a good find. The decision actually opens up more doors then it closes.
USCIS in the past; and specifically Nebraska service center would deny I-140's if you did not have one single source degree equal to U.S. bachelors degree (ie., combination of degrees was not allowed).
this decision basically says that 3+2 will not be considered equal to masters but will be considered to be equal to bachelors degree. However, since the labor didn't allow for bachelors and five years of experience then they consider him to not be qualified for the position.
Looks like 3+2 will still qualify for eb2 but through the bachelors and five year route.
If you look through many of the appeals decisions you will even find contradictory stuff with regards to combination of degrees to get to bachelors equivalency for eb2.
That's why when you are first starting the greencard journey it is safest to go eb3 route and then later give it a try for eb2.

I am trying to efile an AP application right now. It always says following lines at the end of 131 form step.
Note:There are still suggested fields not completed on the following forms:
I really do not know as to why its doing so. I have checked several times that I have not left any field blank that is required. Did somebosy also see the same issue ?
Thanks

I guess the polling on PD basis is futile it will give people false hope....
Only folks with ND prior to current processing times can expect to have a chance at appoval...I see many people over here beyond the processing date window and are still hoping to get approved....
Let's see if this theory is right or not come september.....if only my lawyer had mentioned that ND over rides PD I'd have forced him to file on July 2nd and not wait till July end....
My bad....

I can understand cases where dates are current. But how they decide on cases which might have "visas available in coming months"? Do they know beforehand the movement of dates for coming months? or does that mean they continue pre-adjudicating cases in an order (probably by Priority Date)?

Hi Luckysiri
There are two things in play here.. first of all don't worry about the insurance since you can get covered under Cobra.
Secondly I think what your employer did was obviously illegal. It looks like you have been made a target for layoff due to your maternity leave coming up. I am quite sure that I have read about this at couple of places that it is unlawful to do so . I will try searching for it and you also go through your company's employee booklet. There are laws for protection in this kind of situation to protect the employee ( the employee can't be terminated while on maternity leave , disability leave etc ). Search for it and maybe you can come up with something.
You have worked hard for six years .. no reason to stand for the discrimination.
Best of luck

I opted for the CP option as well. My I-140 was approved in Oct 06 and thats when my attorney received the package for Consular processing from NVC.
Although my PD is not current yet, my lawyer asked me to pay the fees so that they can send the packet back to NVC. I am not sure what to do as my PD is not current yet.
How the hell did you get packet 3 from the NVC before you PD was current.??
I didnt think that was possable?

Unfortunately, I can't leave the US for the following reasons
a) AOS pending
b) H1 expiring soon
c) Won't get any vacation time as just joined a new job.
If you have applied for AOS in July 07, you probably would have got your EAD by now. Why dont you use your EAD to get a DL renewed?

It appears form the wording in the text that, anyone who has maintained a continuous stay for at least 5 years preceding and up to the date of enactment of this bill, gets to apply for AOS and be granted permanent residence.
so with respect to EB folks, this provides GC aspirants (with 5 year stay) an immediate relief. The total quota numbers are not modified. Everything stays as is. This appears to be a one time relief to free up the choke in the system (at least for EB).
thanks,
slowwin
I wonder how it would work for existing AOS applicants. The existing applicants have already applied under the INA c9 subsections. The text of the current bill states that the applicant needs to apply under this bill's section to adjust status, similar to 245i. Now if this means reapplying under this section, that would mean another flood of applicants. Obviously with such a deluge, you wouldnt need a quota, the CIS system itself will take years to sort out the applicants.

Even if its multiplied by 100 we should be ok, if the USCIS does a good of not waisting visas by doing their best in the month of Sep. Say we have 6500 * 2 .25 (Family) = 15000people waiting from EB2 2004. Looking at the spillover numbers from last year, we might be lucky enough. Just trying to be optimistic for the next 35 days.
We received our 2nd biometric appointment notice for Sep 11th. Our Notice date is Sep 19th 2007. Just keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for something good. :)

What are you talking about? Let me have two of whatever you are smoking or drinking.
You have it all wrong. Your experience or qualification DO NOT QUALIFY you for EB2. It is the requirement of JOB that matters. GOT IT.
Now go scream your lungs out in front of the Capitol, Yelling "DISCRIMINATION".:mad:
Well this is a good point, and a true one: The requirement of the job. Before PERM, in many cases, the employer was willing to consider an EB2 if the candidate qualified for it. For those who would have qualified, but were put into EB3 on grounds of job requirement, it can feel very frustrating.
i am sure there are cases where the employer-lawyer nexus has taken advantage of the backlogs to retain an employee. Let us focus on this, instead of trying to look at 'discrimination'.
End of the day, we'd like to have a transparent process with flexibility to change jobs, so that we get the best for ourselves.
EB2 or EB3, if any one moves well, can be good for the other category in the long run.
