eb1doc said:congrats!
your qual were perfect fro Eb1-OR too!
madgu-gc2005 said:Thank you eb1doc. Can I apply on two categories EB1=OR and EB2-NIW? If so what we have to do? refiling i-140? let me know. i am from INdia.
eb1doc said:Well Madgu,
Yes you can apply for both....yes just a refile....of I-140...Your NIW is approved......I guess you are waiting for dates to become current till u can apply for I-485....is that right...under that circumstances trying for EB1-OR is nor a bad idea as EB1 dates are approaching faster towards 2005...there is gap of almost 2.5 years between eb1& eb2 dates for INDIA.........but keep in mind its totally different presentation of case.......with permanent job letter & as said your good letters....and skillful presentation...i am sure you have a chance.....in any case u don't loose anything!!!!
Thats correct!niwnow said:Congratulations Madgu
But EB1-doc correct me if I am wrong, but should'nt an employer file EB1-OR as against just getting a letter of permanent employment.
madgu-gc2005 said:Hi Eb1-doc
I got the copy of approved I-140 from USCIS and the original was sent to my attorney. Is it necessary for me to have the original or the copy will serve for the administration purpose if it is required.
One more thing if i want to apply eb-1 category then can i file I-140 on my own or the employer has to file. Please let me know
thanks
eb1doc said:Congrats!
As far as NIW I-140 is concern copy shd be fine for you!
EB1-OR I-140 is to be filed/signed by employer.....as it is employement based unlike NIW. Generally employer tells you/lawyer to prepare the petition and he/she signs the paper work.
Now that makes Eb1-OR difficult.madgu-gc2005 said:Hi Eb1doc,
By the way i work as a research assistant after 3 years of post doc with the same professor (in the university) and my salary comes from the grant. As long as grant is there i am employed by my professor. Meaning if there is no fund availble then the university does not take any responsibility of providing salary. In such situation who will sign the papers and for this whom to approach? should I start from my professor or contact my administration. I am totally unaware of the process. I would appreciate if you provide me details
Thanks

IF yoru professor/university mentions that ur salary depends on grants then its USCIS may have objection about your permanent position. i sugges you to read AAO decisions from NSC about this issue and carefully draft letters about permanent job issue!!
