    AOS to L1? (cannot use AC-21)

    "Did you work for this firm for one year in the past three at a foreign subsidiary or foreign branch? If not, no." This is bad news..I worked here in the US I was under the impression that to qualify for L1, one has to work for the firm for one year out of the past three (did not know that...

    Cannot use AC-21 : what are the options ?

    I guess that means I am in trouble. I have already taken the fulltime job which is AC-21 non- compatible. Is it even worth looking for the parttime AC-21 compatible job ? I am going to keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. I will definitely ask the lawyer, but i do not know how...

    Cannot use AC-21 : what are the options ?

    minn_labor, Thanks for your reply.. Why should the AC-21 job be full time ? (My full time job is the other one) How will USCIS even find out that it is not a full time job ? I am not planning to disclose the other job details. So there's a low chance of even them knowing that I have 2...

    Cannot use AC-21 : what are the options ?

    TheRealCanadian, <<I also haven't seen a case as weak as his>> Correction.. The case is not weak..There is NO case at all. My only options would be to try to pull some wool over the eyes of USCIS and try to fool them into believing that there is a genuine case. (pardon me for being so...

    Cannot use AC-21 : what are the options ?

    UN, thx Thanks again UN. You have provided valuable advice. I guess now my option is 1)take up the new job. (as that is the only offer I have right now) and try to convince the boss to give me a EVL saying that this is 'same or similar duties' 2)meanwhile keep on looking out for a real...

    Cannot use AC-21 : what are the options ?

    Thanks for your replies UN.. looks like I have no choice but to keep on looking for a "same or similar" job. One last question. If previous employer does not withdraw I-140, or otherwise does not inform USCIS that i have left, can I take the new job and use the "lame duck" excuse that the GC...

    UN,thanks Thank you for your reply UN (as always) <<<If your 485 does get denied and you are not on h-1 then any motion to reopen does not accord you any status to stay in the country. At a maximum you would have to leave within six months of denial to be protected by 245k for future...

    Both of u are right. RealCanadian,you are right,AVP is not too high a position, it is just a supervisorial position and the duties will be different. minn_labor, you are right too.the money offered is way over my previous job's salary (which was bad) and so it is hard to resist.And of...
