It would be great if any one's I485 got approved while their Name Check is Pending?
My I-485 got approved on Aug 7th 2008 from NSC. As far as i know my name check was pending during approval time.

How did your GC process turn out? Any RFEs because of this?
Basically I don't have a problem with amending my H1B if it does not do me any harm when it comes to my GC. What's most irritating is that my GC attny who has all the answers and could very easily advice me what to do suggested to set up a PAID CONSULTATION with their H1B attorney to discuss this. I am almost certain that eventual conclusion will be that its o.k. to amend the H1B. Even during this time after having spent the 1000s of $$$ for my GC they still want to milk me for more money and that's more troublesome than anything else. Its just the attitude.
Having said all this, I think I am going to spend the $$, talk to the H1B attny just for my own satisfaction.
Sorry about the rant and thanks for hearing me out.
May not be direct answer to your question, but I had the same issue 3 years back - though my situation was a little bit different as I was changing dept. within the company - i also had arguments from both sides of the fences......eventually the company lawyer went ahead and filed an AMMENDED H1-B!!!!!......And on my GC application it has been shown as 2 different jobs.....now the sad part....when I suggested to the lawyer to file in EB-2 category instead of EB-3 (I know it also depends on the job description) because I had experience (previous job in the same company) + MS degree......the same lawyer said that it is not counted as 2 separate jobs because you were in the same company:(.......might be he was correct both the time (though I have my own doubts).....but I would advise to do what the lawyer suggests......unless you have some solid proof to back your theory!!!

How one can distinguish if I am paid via H1 or EAD ? both are linked to Same SSN and IRS go by SSN.
Am i missing something?
Update : Or do i need to fillin a new I9 form http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf
You don't. Your employer files an I9, and there they mention your status. This is why they need to update using an I9 every time you get a H1 extension.

Dear All:
Need your advice. Filed I-485 on July 5th. I-140 is approved. Working with the employer for 6 yrs. Now that I filed for final stage, my employer wants me to sign a contract voluntarily that I should stay with them for 24 months. What are my legal options in state of CA? He wants to get 20K if I leave earlier than contract term. I signed it since he threatened me to revoke I-140. Can I backout after portability law kicks in.
Thanks in advance.

It's too early to make a judgment on this since I haven't seen the actual text of this bill. With Sen.Sessions history, I highly doubt whether there is anything good to EB folks in this bill.
Most likely this is just election politics.

First of all, sorry to open a new thread for my problem, but didn't find a related thread.
I was tested positive for genetal herpes 6months ago, but after that i didn't have any outbreaks. Now i have to go for medicals for my I485 next week.
Iam very much worried if it will effect my chances of getting GC.
Should i let the civil surgeon know iam positive for herpes and show my medical reports before he does the blood work, or should i wait till he finishes my blood work? I have read that i can apply for a waiver even if im tested positive for herpes, is it true? If so, can any body please tell me what is the procedure? Do i need to do it when we are filing for 485, or is it a separate process?
Please guide me.
Thanks in advance.
Hey Bro, as far as I know they only test for HIV, Siphilis,TB and Gonorrhea. I am loking at the copy of my medicals right now and I don't see Herpes mentioned anywhere. So I dont think the blood test looks for that. So don't jump the gun and tell the surgeon that you have it. My surgeon didn't even do a genital exam only checked my groin for lymph nodes. SO as far I can see you will be OK. Just take it easy and go for the test. ;)

Apply for CP asap it takes about 6 months from the date of application to get the GC if you are current. In the meanwhile re-assess your situation and apply for the H1-B in the interim you may have a denial but the CP is still in queue and H1-B rejection has no bearing on the CP application. If and when you are alloted the number for the resident status they cannot deny your GC on any other reason but that the company was a fraud or your petition had fraudulent information. If you do not meet the conditions above then your app is in jeopardy. Hope this helps. Good Luck
Thanks for the reply! That was very helpful .
Do I still have to be employed by my original sponsor when i get the appt after 6 months?
If I return to the US in a few months do I still have to option of filing 485 even though I've already applied for CP in India?

Although you dont realize, in this case, you would be using AC21....Your I-140 is approved and I-485 pending for 180 days, and you are moving from your original GC sponsor to a different employer. That is AC21 for you! The part of law that allows you to port your GC from original GC sponsor to a different employer.
Think of this scenario. You work for Company A on H1/L1. Company B sponsors your GC. You join B after you get your GC. In this case, there is no Ac21 involved. But in your case, according to my understanding, you would be invoking AC21.
Thanks!
I completely agree with gcisadawg. Technically you are invoking AC21 if after your GC is approved, you do not work for the petitioning employer. Also curious, as to why you wouldnt want to send in a letter for AC21, unless your job duties are not "Same or similar", in which case you run a bigger risk.

Questions asked by IO:

CIR is dead and DOS is trying to revise its VB. these two are good news from some aspects. They will help us to concentrate our focus on strategy. Here are some of my suggestions:
1) We may have limited power to speak out alone. But we can unify all groups, parties or sources which will benefit our strategy, such like business group, AILA/AILF, Ombudsman of USCIS, some media reporters and capitol hill insiders.
2) Short term strategy - To revise petition process
a) I/140 and I/485 are the continous steps of the process for imigration petition. Right now. they are broken by VB. Applicants with approved I140 should file petition right away.
b) Following Ombudsman's suggestion included in his 2007 report, we shall suggest that the visa number shall be issued within 180 days of the processing window regardless the visa number availability and conclusion of the name check. The procedure chance will significantly improve the VB predition and limit the waste of visa numbers or revision of the VB during the middle of the month.
c) Started with new fees, the application of I-485 will be a package including AP and EAD. The renewal of AP and EAD will be removed during the pending of I-485. Then following the suggestion b, we shall request USCIS to provide a case process report after 180 days indicating the status of the process if it can not be concluded within 180 days.( reasons maybe name check or visa availability). Furthermore, USCIS shall have temporary green cards for the applicants whose applications have been approved but the green cards could not be issued due to other reasons as mentioned above. and teh temporary green cards shall be renewed peroidically or be replaced by formal cards if everything is clear.
d) name check shall be concluded within a reasonable time window. Otherwise name check won't be a sense. Generally speaking, people with a longer history will take more time to complete the process and people with all documentations will take more time to complete it compared with illegal ones since they don't have any records at FBI. Also validation will be questioned if the process takes too long. If the process takes three years, so how to make sure that there is nothing during these three years? Also most of us report our status faithfully, have inspections when re-entering the states.
e) In order to avoiding wasting visas, USCIS shall have some time to complete the previous year's visa left-over, such as first 2 monthes.
3) Long term strategy- flexible visa cap according to market requirements

Just try to be optimistic and move on. Something is better then nothing. Atleast now you know, you are good after 180 days, if you are not that happy with your current job. But untill then take is easy and keep going with your day to day works. Most folks are much better than they were prior to July. Anyway, the last quarter is typically slow when it comes to job market and use this time to refresh your skills and wait for the right time to make the right move.
Also having EAD/AP etc.. is better compared to being on H1/L1, but remember it is not as good as having GC. Atlest untill you get you GC, you have to be very careful. Also AC21, make sure you know the rule and take the right steps when invoking AC21.

Guys ... please help. I am trying to get PCC from my local police station and they are giving me hell time here... and I am running out of time. The local police station guys are saying that they will only give a letter in white paper (No letter head) and they are insisting that it will not be used. What shall I do and I have to submit my documents by tuesday by latest.....
Questions for friends around
1.. is the letter given by the local police station with out the letter head will e accepted in the Consulate?
2.. If not can we get a PCC from the commisioner office?
Please give me some directions.
Normally PCC is always issued on plain white paper with Police stamp on it and it should be sufficient.
Process is --> apply at local Police Station > They come and verify your home address ( take signature from 2 neighbours ) > they send it to local deputy commissioner office for his signature
If you want it quicker - just keep running along with your application at all stages. I got it done on the same day
I have 2 PCCs - one from SFO consulate and another one from Delhi Police.
Both are on plain paper with stamps and signatures - so it should suffice. Also they know what to write. You cannot dictate them or make them write what you want.

Dear All..need expert guidance on my situation.
1) Company A. Approved I-140 and LC for more than 6 months in 2006
2) Took a Job with Company B. Concurrent filling of New I-140 , 485, EAD, AP (In July 2007), EAD and AP approved > 180 days. But still waiting for I-140..looks like it going to take some time.
3) Want to change to company �C�in similar area. Can I use AC21? Given that I have approved I-140 from company A, 485 from company B and want to move to company C ?
I assume answer is No but thought I will get some expert guidance.

Thank you. I don't think there's such a thing for I-140 probably because things are not as complex as they are for an I-485. They just check for a valid labor certification wherever necessary, experience letters and the company's ability to pay, that's it.

Things r getting bad in the US...I'd suggest better move to Canada now and start a business if u have saved enough to start one. Wait for citizenship and come back later on a TN Visa which is valid forever (barring the pain of yearly extensions u shudn't have any other issue).
In the US u cud lose ur job anytime however stable it might look like now. Else what was the point in applying for Canadian PR and all the pains u took???
TN visa is now valid for 3 years (earlier it used to be for 1 year)

It is certainly possible that the response was based only on the information available online, but there is no way to know for sure. That is why it is important to get written confirmation that USCIS rec'd your RFE response.
