Perennial Question of Contracting vs. Permanent position!
Hi saknia and all you gurus out there, I have a question for you,
- I have my labor thru my employer pending in PBEC now and its in process since mid 2004 (RIR EB2),
-I work as a Contractor and my client(since 2004) currently wants me to accept a permanent position with them (since they have policy that they can't keep contractors on a project for more than 2 years)
.. If I were to go ahead and join them now can I go back and continue my GC process with my employer whenever my labor gets approved ? (Assuming that my employer agrees to such an arrangement !!) ... Will such a thing cause any problems in the later stages of my GC (i.e I140 and 485 etc..)
.. greatly appreciate your response

Dear Sakina & All Members,

I don't think so
hi,
I don't think you can keep your old PD. If you have already completed your 6 years of H1B, then you may not be able to transfer your H1 too. But if you were able to, I don't think you can keep your old PD. But if you feel that your offer is much more worth than your GC, then go ahead.

Traditional LC are being approved now... FYI only...
Hello Folks and fellow sufferers,
Per one of my email exchange with my lawyers, she mentioned that PBEC is currently approving traditional labor certifications. She substantiates this with the current trend of approvals her company is receiving...
Dont have any more info than that....

Looks like PBEC is having different approach
They have Three Queue for RIR
One after July 2002 - This is moving fast and here they have some kind of FIFO based on 45 Day letter, RD & PD
One for before July 2002 - Struck like hell with no pattern or sign - We are all guessing as to why this has been stopped - Some say EB2 EB3 , Degrees,
Vaction of the Guy, New officers assigned ete etc
Now it looks like they have taken up State cases whcih are mostly RIR. At State they have finsihed all paper work and ready to go. - Beofre PBEc when State case comes with a approval recommenaddtion they used to take couple of days to approve. This is what we see now
The unfortunate lot is one before July 2002. Because when they started with them first PBEC was adamently saying that they want to open all cases, Determine FIFO First and then approve. If they have started approving like now, half of the cases in PBEc would have vanished by now
Hope this lot get attention now. we all need to push for this lot as otherwise they will not do anything
All Non RIr coming in these 3 Queues are being approved as well based on its own Merit and PBEC merit (!!!)

Thats music to my ears. Would appreciate very much if you could find out...
1. What procedure they are following (who is doing the ads etc)
2. What priority date are they seeing approvals for?
