YOu can claim that 140, provided you work for the same employer doing the same work. What is the garuntee that company is going to exist in the future, have the same job req for you? That is a question only you and the company can answer.

Is there portability (AC21) for 140 approved people but could not apply 485.

At least there should a rule that if you have approved I-140 from company A and you worked with company A for let say 50 months, then I-140 should be portable.... but questions is who care us.... Congress makes all the immigration rule for employer not the employee like us......

Received hard copy

Hello all,
My lawyer received the hard copy today. DBEC also sent a courtesy copy of LC approval to my home address. My lawyer was asked around the end of July to resubmit the labor application with updated contact information but we did not understand why they needed the info then.

I am hoping to file I-140/485 before the end of the month to beat EB2 retrogression. Good luck to all in the queue!

Update on backlog centers

If you have not already seen, here is the update from immigration.com.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Update from DOL Backlog Center - 09/13/2005



Backlog centers informed that total number of cases forwarded to the two centers was about 345,000. There are at least 100,000 pending cases on which only partial data entry has been done. During the next few months, the Centers will be working to complete full data entry on these cases and issue the 45 day letters to employer (The letter will ask the employer if it wishes to continue with the processing of the application).

The Centers have been working RIR and traditional cases where recruitment was completed previously and no further recruitment was required. While they are not yet ready to process cases that will require recruitment, in the coming months, they will be preparing to work these cases and preparing to deal with all related issues such as prevailing wage and job orders.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
 
maybe a bad for near future

If I may put a spin ot this, it sounds like the centers will be working primarily on data entry in the next few months. That may mean that we are not going to see the queue progressing with the same speed it has been progressing in the last few weeks. It could be that BEC felt pressure to show some progress and calm down everyone thinking of switching over to PERM. So they kicked out cases as "new" as March'03.
Let's continue reporting LC dates and see if they progress with similar speed.
just my 2 c and my first post on this helpfull forum

There is still hope for PD of 03/2003 and earlier

I have been a observer of this informative forum for quite some time.

It has been a roller-coster like week for me. Monday, the "hoax" from Manila, then Tuesday the official nightmare. Wednesday, my lawyer called me saying my LC hard copy was recived ( PD 03/03/2003, CA, EB-2) from Dallas BEC.

So there is still hope for guys with PD of 03/2003 and earlier, it may arrive anytime. I have been scrambling to prepare for the documents and have Medical Exam. Hopefully, I can beat the dealine, still not sure about that, if not, that will be my destiny.

One suggestion, get everything ready, including Medical Exam since it may a week or even longer. Then pray and wait for the hard copy to arrive before 9/29.

Thank you guys, especially Icarus and gp111, with best wishes.

If you cannot get Medical done you can apply without that. Later you will get an RFE and you can submit medical at that time.
 
Anyone with a PD of April 2003?

My PD is April 25, 2003
Status is RIR as of 8/7/05

Anyone on April 2003 request a screenshot recently?

How often does the VISA numbers for retrogression get updated - once a month?

Does it depend on birth country or citizenship? IE: If you were born in India, and are a Canadian or British Citizen, are you still subject to these Visa numbers still?
 
H-1 B ammendment with change in job location

Folks:

I am regular reader of this forum and I have gained a lot of help from the wealth of information provided here.

I am looking to you all for some insights on H-1B ammendments. I know this forum tracks the BEC progress, but any ideas would really mean a lot to me.

My H-1B expired on Aug 22, 2005 and my employer sponsored the extension and we got it extended until the Aug 22, 2008. This completes my 6 yrs of H-1B. Now I am moving to a different job location with my current employer which requires me to ammend my H-1B. I have a foreign travel coming up on Oct 29, and I will start the job in the new location on Oct 16.

My question to you all is that can I ammend my H-1B after I come back from my foreign trip (Nov 20)? I have to get my passport stamped at the US Consulate abroad for reentry. Will they stamp my passport although my job location has changed and my physical address would be different from what is stated on the I-797?

Any ideas on how soon one should file for an ammendment to an H-1B after moving to a new location and is foreign travel ok during that period, esp if passport stamp has expired?

It is tough to make this any less complicated while writing. Look fwd to some ideas to get around this situation. Thank you.

Early April have "Final Review"

That is right

Does it depend on birth country or citizenship? IE: If you were born in India, and are a Canadian or British Citizen, are you still subject to these Visa numbers still?

Unfortunately yes, you can have citizenships of several countries simultaneously, they will treat your retrogration PD based on your country of your birth

Can someone shed some light on the SWA cases. I filed my RIR labor with Oregon on July 26th 2003. The BEC RIR Q is working on FEB 2003 cases as per ICARUS. Does this mean that mine will be processed when the Q comes to July 2003.

Are the SWA RIR cases treated same as other state approved RIR cases? If so when can I possibly expect 45 day letter for my case. If I do not get the 45 day letter and the Queue moves beyond July 2003 will I be considered later. I am totally confused. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks.

Can I use my OLD Priority Date?

Hello Gurus,
I worked with Company A in California and Finished my labor(PD: March 2000) and I-140 as well, but unfortunately could not able to continue with the company. At present I am working with Company B and applied my GC from the beginning including Labor Cert (May 2003 - EB2), but waiting waiting...

Since Eb2 dates are retrogressed so much, I want to use my OLD priority date. But when I contacted the old company they said that they cancelled my I140 and used my labor for some other employee.

Can you please help me here? Is there any way will I get my OLD priority date back?.

Thanks in advance,

Infact it is recommended that people who can apply for 485 do so without their medicals. The medicals are valid for only one year anyway. So unless your PD is in the last century, you will most likely have to do another medical when your 485 comes up for consideration.
