Unbelievably Fast Approvals

naku_GC_Kavali,
Your being a substitute labor, what was the PD on the approved labor. The original priority date of the substited labor or the day 140 was filed.

Thanks

If you look at the post, the RD is 12/29/04. Concurrent filing for EB3 applicants belonging to retrogressed countries was acceptable upto 12/30/04. RD is what matters and not the ND. Visa retrogression came into effect only from 1/1/2005.

Hope this explains.

Yes. RD matters not ND. They will not accept 485 Application after 01/01/2005 for EB3 (from those effected countries).
 
congrats Pats100!!!

Looks VSC is going real fast on I140!!!

My 140 got approved

My 140 got approved in two months. RD 12/12/04 and AD 02/12/05.

My photos were rejected for EAD and AP so have sent new ones back just now. Hopefully should get that too very soon.

:D :D :D :D

Notes/Questions:
1. My laywer didn't file AP for us, and EAD for me(the main applicant) until I submitted the request for AP application last week. Paper work is being processed. I was told that AP is applied based on request by the laywer.
2. My questions is what I need EAD for? ( it is a basic question, but bare with me, and please help me with your answers.)
What is the difference between EAD and Labor Certificate?
3. Which service center should I check with? I work in NY. My guess is Vermont?

Firstly, congratulations on such a quick approval of your I-140.

Now to your questions:

1. My laywer didn't file AP for us, and EAD for me(the main applicant) until I submitted the request for AP application last week. Paper work is being processed. I was told that AP is applied based on request by the laywer.

--Incorrect, it is not based on lawyer's request but your request based on your situation. You would only need a AP if you plan to travel outside of US without having a valid H1B stamp in your passport and don't want to apply for a extension/stamping in your home country consulate. AP is a travel document which would permit you inside the US at the POE without a H1 visa.

2. My questions is what I need EAD for? ( it is a basic question, but bare with me, and please help me with your answers.)
--EAD is "Employment Authorization Document". Can be used instead of H1B. With a EAD and approved I-140 and 180 days of 485 filing, you can switch jobs to a new employer without the need for a transfer of H1B. This provision is called AC21.

3. Which service center should I check with? I work in NY. My guess is Vermont?[/QUOTE]
--You are right, if your 485 is pending in Vermont Service Center, check Vermont Service Center.

Hope this helps
 
Please help

I have a 3-year degree, B.sc in computer science. Plus 1 year diploma and 5 years experience when we applied for LC under EB2 about 2 centuries ago. It is stuck in the BEC queue.

Does it seem approvable:

3-Year degree in CS
+ 1 year diploma(no affiliation)
+ 5 years experience
+ Wages that meet the criteria
+ Programmer/Analyst Job ,well documented and advertised.

If I do get approved luckily, I do not want to pursue the case under EB2 at 140 stage if possible.
Is that switching from EB2 to EB3 possible when applying for 140?
 
Got it! Thanks for your input!!

Hello,

I need some help from someone in this forum about my situation.

I have applied for H1 (from H4)by thinking my husband LC is going to take few more years but luckily we got the approval In Dec2004 and applied for EAD and AP on Dec28th and we got approved for that also in the last week.
And at the same time I also got the H1 2 weeks back and I have started working from few daysback after knowing that my H1 got approved.

Right now my question is which one is safe to work on (H1 or EAD)? which one I can use ? because I haven't got Paystub yet..so i wanted to use either of them to start with.

Please let me know the Pros and cons of using them if anyone knows??
Awaiting for reply....
Thanks in Advance.

Usually H1 is considered a safer option as EAD is dependent on your husband's 140/485. If for some reason his 140 or 485 gets denied, EAD looses it's validity. That being said, EAD gives you the flexibility to work for any employer without any sponsorship.
 
kansar,

Use h1b. Infact if you could search other posts in this forum, you will find merits and de-merits in using EAD.
