CSC Oct-Nov 2005 Filing I-140 Tracking

Labor Substitution?

Is there anyone on this thread with a 140 filed based on a substituted labor?

Looking at the trend of 140 movement, looks like the cut-off time of Apr 14 for the proposed "Labor Substitution elimenation rule" will be around the time the 140s of this group will be approved. My question is

- Are pending 140s based on substituted labor affected by this rule? I've got contradicting views to this.
 
I140 - sub labor

Mine is a sub labor with ND of 13 Nov 2005 for I140. I checked with my attorney and their understanding so far is that I140 filed based on pending sub-labors are not affected by this rule. However there seems to be a sub-labor procedure through DOL (don't know details about this) which might be affected if this proposed elimination becomes law. But not the I140 based on sub-labor.

OK guys, I give up. so please give private message on EAD issue. if you guys go and check EAD, about 3-4 weeks ago I tried to activate the EAD forum but for me it seems that everybody like to get the answer for the questions here?! which I don't know why. that is why we are mostly on this forum. but if most of the people here want to talk only about I-140 that is fine. atleast I will do it. and I am asking everybody to do the same thing and give private message on this issue. but don't forget that at this time it is very important issue to some of us then please update us through PM. thank you so much...

Proposed Rule for April 14th

The proposed petition has two clauses to it

RIN 1205-AB42 proposition:

1. Eliminate the Labor Substitution process

2. Reduce the validity of approved Labor to 45 days.


However it must be noted that point 1. is effective in the Dept of labor and not in the USCIS. Hence if one has applied for sub labor at the I-140 stage thru USCIS, point 1. will not affect pending cases. (Just to clarify, sub labor can also be applied at the labor stage thru the DOL and that is what DOL is trying to eliminate)

The second point though, is not too clear as it might affect labor subs thru USCIS as well as regular labor applications. DOL is trying to exercise further control by proposing a 45 day expiration on approved labors. Since a lot of regular labor applications as well as sub labor applications might have been submitted after a 45 day period, we do not know how this rule affect that part.

However let's do our bit and send our comments to eliminate this proposition before APRIL 14th.

1.Email address: fraud.comments@dol.gov
2. Enter: RIN 1205-AB42 in the title.


Spread the word around and send as many e-mail as possible in this comment period.
 
ARE YOU FRIGGIN KIDDING US ???

LABOR SUBSTITUTION SHOULD BE BANNED COMPLETELY AND TOTTALLY. NO EXCEPTIONS. NO EXCUSES. JUST BAN IT.

Oppose 45 day limit proposal

qwerty1111,

I agree, labor sub should be eliminated sooner. However, 45 day limit should not be imposed. There are many valid reasons for it. We can oppose part of the law. So I would suggest everyone should oppose 45 day limit or at least allow for 180 days. Even though, I have used labor-sub I believe there should not be short-cuts for GC.

I am going to oppose 45 day limit for sure. One genuine reason is let's say your I-140 gets denied and you wanted to re-file i-140. If they impose 45 day limit then there is no way you can re-file using the same labor. All your time, energy, money is lost.

So I urge people to oppose 45 day limit and I agree to eliminate labor-sub as soon as possible.

Just a humble request, please don't use bad words in public forum. I understand people's frustration but we have to respect public forum as well.
 
qwerty1111, read the post before reacting

Qwerty1111, take the time to read and UNDERSTAND the post before sending frivolous responses.

To clarify before I say anything, I'm not any consultant just another hard-working individual trying to get the GC process done. So I think we would all appreciate if PERSONAL frustrations are not expressed in the forum but we stick to the topic concerned.

Just like dsugandhi, 45-day rule is what I am concerned about as well and that will affect regular and sub-labor applications.

Please do the needful.

Thanks

Tracker?

Has anyone considered creating a mini tracker here? A tracker usually gives a better pattern of progress...and helps anticipate the ETA.

I'm in EB3 with RD 10/27

Steps before filing 485

Hi,
I have 140 / EB3 application pending approval with PD 5/2003. Can anyone please make any "wise guestimate" as to when we might be able to file 485? This h1 situation is making life very diffcult.
Are there any steps we can complete to get ready for filing 485 while waiting for 140 approval or even after 140 approval but waiting to file 485? like FP / medical etc?
THANKS
