Friends,

I am in a very unique situation.

My case :
State received on 11/19/2003
Chicago DOL received on 12/08/2003.

My 6 years are expiring March,04.

My company says LC will get approved soon as they are processing 1st week of Nov.

But what is the date I should look at as priority date? the one on which state received my case or the one DOL received ?

I have I-140 pending with other company and I got 7th year extn. approval. But I am using a substitute labor for that one and it is thru TSC.

So question is : Should I trust current company and wait till end of March ? or Just switch now itself to the another company ? I have an assignment which could go on for another 18 months. So prcoessing timewise which one would be better option ? NSC or TSC ?

Pl. help


Thanks,
 
as per i concerned go for already applied 140 company
becoz you have to apply 485 with ony one company not with multiple companies

NSC is fast for 140 cases. it cleares in 6 months ,couple of collegues got cleared from NSC

all the best

I would say avoid "Pending" as we are in, you have approved labor, substitute labor, I140 in process. Pray for us for these options. Goodluck

Your case's PD is when state SESA recd it.

Chicago DOL has gone very slow since Dec 2003. Do not think that cases will be approved as soon as your date is reached. Keep end of May 2004 as a safe date for approval. (Nov 2003 cases have not been assigned till now.)

Trsuting a company is your decision. But NSC is still faster compared to TSC. If you have extension, I would suggest wait till your Chicago DOL's approval for your case. Then you will have a better view for making decisions.
 
Hi Jharkhandi ,

Thanks a lot...!

I do not have extension with current company. They applied my LC in NOV. so can not extend my H1 with them unless Labor is approved.

My current H1 with them is until May,04 but my 6 years are getting expired in March,04 as I started working in USA in March,98. By mistake I got the visa till May,04( 2 months more thatn 6 years) Is it because I have taken vacation and was out of USA for 8 weeks in last 6years ?.

They are looking to take advantage of situation if I stay with them and reduced my Salary already. I am afraid that If I stay with them I would have take another huge cut.


With another company the I-140 is already in process for last 6 months and I have got 7 th year extn. thru them.

Still Confused................!!!!!!!!!

Pl. Advice.

Thanks,

With due permission of Jharkhandi, I suggest..
You are in "LOVE or LEAVE" situation, assess your strength, let them cut, if you think you can still LIVE with it, then its OK to have compensation in future, which is your's.
If possible REQUEST (*100) your's I140 employer for further extension, if they agree, you will definitely save yourself from further Huge Cut.
 
rightnow its better go with new company B who applied 140 and its pending.

i dont know is that okay if we can fikle 140/485 from both company A and company B??
any thoughts???
 
Hi soham13,

Even though the 140 is filed with Company B, you can use its receipt to extend your H1 for Company A. You will not have any problems in it. If needed you can even go for premium processing.

And regarding switching companies, make your decision based on the possibility of I-140 getting approved. If you are confident enough that the I-140 through company B will get approved with out any problem in their "ability to pay", then you can go ahead.

Is the I-140 based on Labor Substitution? If so, you have to definitely make sure that you have atleast 75% match with the labor.

What does this means? Doesn't a candidate suppose to be an exact match of labor certificate? I am curious because I have one such labor where I fit 90%, but the rest 10% is giving me enough reason to rethink.
