I feel it should be alright to go ahead and file for EAD along with 485 using the substitution labor. It is in a way similar to filing H1 extension around the same time while also filing EAD & 485 for the primary applicant. In my opinion a pending change of status from H4 to H1 should not impact EAD or 485 filing.
About the fishy part, if your company is reliable and the labor skills & experience match yours, I don't see any issue in making use of the substitution labor.
With the EAD your wife will have more options when it comes to choosing which company she wants to work for. Whereas with H1, she will be stuck with the consulting shop for a while. Don't take this to your heart, but think of the chances of getting H1 approved from the available 58K, against 200K or so applications, using the lottery process. Also even if the H1 comes through she will be able to work only starting from Nov 2007, whereas with the EAD she can start to work as soon as it comes through.
I would also suggest that you talk to a qualified attorney to get this confirmed.
Good luck!

hi,
I am in a very weird and unique situation.Please help me out!
I have applied for H1B for my wife(current status H4) on April 1st 2007 (through some indian consultant ,who charged me 3K for this).God knows about the lottery for H1B this time
Now,out of the blue,my company offers me a substitution labor(PD Current) 3 days after my own labor gets certified(PD not current).Do you think there is anything fishy about this?
According to my company,I can go ahead and file my I-140 and EAD for my wife , I-485 with the this substitution labor.
Now my question is will USCIS reject my I-485 or my wife's application for EAD ..because there is a pending H4 to H1B for her?
Please help me decide !

Seems like no NOF till date.
Yesterday i sent reply to Info@pebc.... requesting for case status and any NOF if any on my case. Got Reply today morning at 7:30AM from info. Seems like info@.. guys start working at 7 or 7:30 in morning. Good for us.
Screen shot shows:
All fields are completely filled (Those are filled since october 2006)
Case STatus = RIR (Same as last couple of screen shots)
Nothing about NOF.
So i guess no body had touched my case since last 6 months.
No request for screen shot for another month and a half. (I hope i dont have to do that the case gets certified in next one and half month)

I would suggest just go ahead with the substitute labor....
The USCIS a**holes do not know what the hell they are doing anyway...
I do not think that they have the capability to detect anything like that...
Even if they do detect that H1 is considered a dual intent visa ..So H1Bs always have the immigrant intent hidden somewhere deep in their minds and they all go lie to the visa officers anyway....So what is the big difference..??..
Enough rambling huh ???
I do not think that you have a problem at all....
Also same status...
Seems in some cases they are waiting for some additional information to be available.... Cannot think of anything else. My case is in the same status as yours (NY/EB3/RIR/2002) and still "in process" without any NOF (so far....

)I send the email to info@ and got a reply at 8:30 a.m. today. No change in the status still showing as "RIR". I have had no NOF or even closed and opened accidently seems like they are just waiting for some miracle. Maybe we are part of patience test that they might be running i.e. how long before an applicant gives up or sues the government. Hope something happens soon.

I believe that lawyers can "CAL" BEC and even send letters asking them that the case has been in process for way to long.... And this triggers ppl to wake up and start working... Guys you have to be proacive. Nobody here cares but you. Please request your attorney to call. My LC letter has not arrived since two weeks and my attorney called them and they asked her to send a letter to the certification mailing dept... so things get moving if you are proactive.... make things happen , enough waiting! GOOD LUCK!!!

NOF issue
I found many 2004 cases got "NOF" and I am one of those unlucky guys. Is this due to our case never went to regional? My coworker's case is just a couple of months ahead of me, but his went to regional. He got his LC several months ago without any issue. There is not difference between us except that he got paid less than me. He had no issue about the PW. So I am thinking maybe PBEC is using different standard to regional cases and state cases. If the cases went to regional before they got PBEC, which means the recruitment process was completed at regional, PBEC would not reconsider PW any more. However, for the state cases, they are more strict about PW using nation-wide standard. But it is really unfair!!!

Man, Go ahead and take it.. I dont think there would be any issues... Go ahead and make your GC dreams come true... Who knows if your wife will even get her H1 in this lottery system.... also who knows when your PD becomes current... Safe bet: Go ahead and take it.. and never waste a minute....
On a lighter side..... If you are not taking this labour, then let me know i will join your company and take it for me....

As someone said...'What has fair got to do with it..?'
Anyway...in evry occupation there are supposed to be four levels of wages ...
So you got bracketted in a higher level and got a NOF..
A few guys from my company with 2004 PW also got their certifications recently..

Did those guys get "NOF" about PW? I said it was unfair because my coworker is also in EB2, but who knows what is going to happen to mine?

NOF on PW and Recruitment Process!!
Dear members:
I have been silent reader of this forum so far finally I got something out of PBEC and that was 'NOF'. I dont know what to do :
1. NOF on salary, they came up with there own version of job desc and categpry and PW is much higher as per NATIONAL INDUSTRY STANDARD but my employer is education institution so salary offered as per PW was lower.
2. They want full documentation on recruitment process. My boss personally called people on Phone and left voice mail messages. some of them never replied back. He never sent out certified mail's (as required by PBEC in NOF). They want full proof.
Please help me by giving any idea, how to handle this.
1. PW issue
2. Is there any alternate way of justifying the recruitment process since there is no way to actually document the past activities which happened about 3 years ago..
Any Ideas..
Thanks in advance...

My case info status changed
I emailed info@phi.dflc.us some days back and received a reply today. My case status now shows "Final Review" instead of "In Process" when compared to an emaiil reply a month back. Also, the Prevailing wage column shows a reduced prevailing wage than it was earlier. So, I guess someone decided to have a look at my case. I don't know what type of NOFs I may get. I got a PW query when my case was at State level and my employer increased my salary. Keeping my fingers crossed...
Does anyone have any idea of how much time it might take from Final Review to Certified/ Denied etc if there's no NOF?
