Hi All,
Many of us might have our labor approved thru PERM or Backlog center or in the process of getting labor certification but the terrible truth is even after labor approval & I-140 approval we cannot file for I-485 because of Retrogression of PD - Priority Date. As per the current June bulletin from the US department of state, the priority date for EB3 is Apr, 2001 and for EB2 is Jan, 2003.
It might even take years to file our 485, God knows when PD will become current. As a temporary measure if we are allowed to file 485 without PD being current, there are lot of advantages.
* The applicant and their spouse can get EAD.
* The Dependent can go to work.
* NO need to file a H1 for the dependent spending around $2500.
* Can change the employer in 6 Months for a better Job.
* Avoid the pain of H1 extensions & stamping every year.
* Travel freely, Can go and come into the US any time with Advance Parole.
* Move up in the career.
* And lots and lots more..........
Currently US Senate is debating the Immigration Reform Bill, This is our last chance to make an impact on our life in the US.
Our group Iimmigration Voice is working closely with many senators to pass this bill as law, which will give us enormous benefits mentioned above.
