To me; it looks like it could be a shift in change of policy. In the denial notice; it is the same officer number who sent the notice of intent to deny. Therefore; it is not a training issue; looks like something else is happening.
training issue is when they send straght denial after 140 is revoked.
UnitedNations,
Whatever be the shift in policy, they cannot go against the AC21 law, which is if the job is in similar classification then the applicant can use portability if the underlying I-140 is revoked. Also you must have seen the latest yates memo , link, http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/AC21Intrm122705.pdf
If you see Q.11 it asks,
Question 11. When is an I-140 no longer valid for porting purposes?
Answer: An I-140 is no longer valid for porting purposes when:
A. an I-140 is withdrawn before the alien�s I-485 has been pending 180 days, or
B. an I-140 is denied or revoked at any time except when it is revoked based on a withdrawal that was submitted after an I-485 has been pending for 180 days.
Answer B seems pretty vague. How do you interpret this?
Also can you tell, if the case you are referring to is based in TSC or NSC. I have seen cases where TSC applicants are facing this kind of situations more.

Is there a link on DOL or any other Federal websites talking about this? I am not doubting immigration-law.com but wanted to see if there are any more sources of information on this topic - on the net from government or any other federal agency.
Office of management and budget...yes they will
once the rule is published in the federal register and ppl have commented on it...its pretty much set to go

I second everything logic has said,
Also it is really funny and I use to think it's just me, but I am glad someone else is also experinced the same,
Myself, I was able to file I-485 and renewed EAD 3 times, which means my wife is working from past three years, I have changed job using AC-21 twice and my salary is increased and have better job, which means I am not too much worried about getting GC, but I still contribute to IV and call lawmakers many times.
The FEAR I see among many people is really pathatic, I know couple of friends does not even want to talk to me on phone about this matter thinking that some one might be listening,

sfcwtu: "when you say she did withdraw" what do you mean? did she withdraw 6020?
I am not sure now. Lofgren mentioned something about withdrawing her bill. But the vote for an amendment went on after. someone explain?
It's in recession now. The chair said he hope he could move things expeditiously when meeting resumes.

Hi Guys,
Considering that we have all spent enough time stuck in the same job for several years it makes sense to prepare for the time if/when we actually get green card.
So I was wondering if anyone here has weighed and compared the cost and benefit of PMP vs MBA. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Hello I got a yellow form 221(g) during my interview. Got my passport and approval back during the interview.
Are other people in PIMS getting this yellow form/ 221(g) stating that "when administrative processing is completed in your case we will contact you"?
This will allow me to decide if I am stuck in PIMS or something else.

Hi letstalklc
Thanks for your reply.
"SBI will update only once in the morning" Just wanted know the morning of India or USA ?
Ok, I just did myself and man you are RIGHT.
Today's exchange rate is [USD 4001 10000 48.07]
and I got ($$$ X 48.07) - 25.
Many thanks for the knowledge.
I am not sure if ICICI also does the same, because I too have stooped using their service. And you know what, I called when once when I had a very bad exchange rate given. I said that I will quit using your service and surprise surprise they didn't care. And ,now, So Do I.
That is India time....
If you transfer less than 1000 USD to outside SBI, they will charge 25 rupees, the only problem is that they will not specify that charges any where in the transaction.....but it will be accurate all the time....

I voted for both questions.
BTW Sen. McCain is now front runner in GOP for presidential candidate. Even though he backed out of immigration reform, I consider him our friend and also a person of integrity. I am glad to see him emerge as front runner. On the other hand Tom Tancredo figured nowhere, even when immigration was still hot issue. That should be enough for our friends in NumbersUSA & ALIPAC to see where they stand in terms of public support for their issues.

As per my research and talking to customer service of few american and india insurance companies, You are partly right that no one covers pre-existing conditions.
But indian companies like Icici lombard, Bajaj allianz, tata aig etc cover emergency life saving treatment even if it was due to the pre-existing conditions. Which means if one is diabetic, reguler sugar check and doc vists will not be covered but if say patients develops a critical condition (e.g kideny failure etc) then the treatment is covered.
But american companies do not cover even the emergency treatment.
Hope this helps
I have talked to IMG sales rep, he said they won't cover for pre existing conditions. He also said that as far as his knowledge is concerned there is no company out there that covers pre existing conditions when I asked him about it.
My final assumption is that any insurance we buy anywhere, just covers illnesses that are developed after the coverage starts.
Any corrections??

I have an appointment with Murthy's attorney next week. SInce we have limit on PM I would suggest making a yahoogroup thread and include those in the same boat. My PD is Sep 05 EB2 India . it's pretty bad for me :-) Getting married next March (just need to find the gal - kidding ;-) )
Lets talk with our respective attorneys and separate attorney's personal benefit from this.
Ofcourse, all the Attorneys will tell you NOT TO DO CP SINCE THEY CANT CHARGE THIS Matthew Oh GUY and others want you to do 485 so they can milk more money out of you.
Email me at cool_guy_onnet@yahoo.com and I would setup something for "485 kawares"
Thanks
To raaj2007, just getting an EAD does not nullify your H1, but if you use EAD you loose H1. Go and check with your attorney. If you use EAD you cannot enter US using H1 or H4, you have to use Advance parole.
Adding to the replies to other post
(i) I heard after filing 485 I could change employers? Yes or no? If yes, then which state would I be in? (EAD, AP or none)?
Answer - You can change employer after 180 days of pending 485 using AC 21 and you would be in EAD and use AP to enter US
(ii) After filing 485, do I HAVE to get my wife into US before the dates retrogress again?? Whoa never heard that...are you sure?
Answer -Yes, if you dont, you would not be able to file for her if the dates retrogresses again, also to file 485 for your wife , she should be in US at the time of filing 485.
(iii) Is there no step after 485 filing that I can keep postponing to not let 485 approve (like delaying 485 fingerprinting multiple times) so that I can let 485 approve only after I am married and can bring my wife in?
Answer - No, you cannot postpone it on your own will. But if your marriage date is before 485 approval (even one day) and tour wife could not make it to US, she can come to US using follow to join process. That process is also available if PD are current. In that scenario you ask USCIS to send US consulate in India to send a notice that the principal applicant's 485 has been approved and since the marriage was before 485 approval, she should be called for Interview at the US consulate in India and given the immigrant VISA, The Follow to join process is like Consular Processing.
Hope I answered your doubts.

Freedom and Liberty has been the founding principle of USA. Freedom to change, to improve and to grow has lured immigrants to USA over ages. However, same freedom is denied to LEGAL employment based immigrants. USA boasts of equal rights and opportunity to everyone. However equality is denied to employment based immigrants.
I came to USA in 2001 along with my family, to work as an IT manager. My green card was applied in 2003. I have been dutifully contributing to US economy, in form of my labor and taxes. However, due to immigration laws, I am stuck to a particular job profile. I can not accept any promotions or job enlargement offers. I am even barred from attending full time school, to enhance my skills. My dependents are not eligible to any educational aids, since we are not green card holders yet. I can not buy a house for the fear of losing it. In case of job loss, I have to seek a job in same job profile within 2 months, or loose whatever I have worked hard for in prime years of my life. In spite of paying all taxes, I am not eligible for any kind of unemployment benefits.
I have been waiting patiently for last five year for my green card. Looking at the snail pace of process it will be several decades before, I get it. Has US stopped caring about intellects at all? Why can�t US politicians see a potential brain drain coming?
I request you to take reforming immigration process, making USCIS accountable on top priority. The law should also have a maximum wait period for green card identified. No one should be put through an ordeal of an endless wait.

Thats not entirely correct. Three of the most vocal supporters of us are
Sen. Brownback(R) - Kansas
Sen. Hagel(R) - Nebraska
Sen Coryn(R) - Texas
They are from the so-called conservative states.
I haven't heard anything positive for our cause from senators from the so-called sophisticated/liberal states like Illinois (Dick Durnbin & Obama) , NY , MH (Kennedy and Kerry), CA (Boxer and Fienstein) for our cause. In fact they have gone towards family immigration and are screwing us in the process.
If you might notice that all these Senators who are coming up with these brilliant ideas are either from some god forsaken place in the US where there is nothing except a WalMart and a Church or the Senator doesnt know his economics right and is using VOTE BANK POLITICS parallel that to the recent Mayawati being elected in UP & AB & AMbani getting hit in scams and SEZs.

Friends,
There is a rumor going around now. One of my colleagues here claims that he got a call from his attorney that there is going to be a new bulletin for july, released either tomorrow or on Monday. Can someone talk to their attorney and confirm this?
I'm unable to reach my attorney now.
Nobody knows anything - this is just a rumor for now. Though I love to see it be true, I dont think it will happen. Re-reversing the visa bulletin will get more attention than the original reversing and USCIS might try to avoid that. But after JULY 2nd I wont get surprised with anything now (regarding visa bulletins and USCIS's stupidity).

Exactly true but hard to beleive. Think how much you know about your home country immigration. That should answer this question. Most of my american colleagues are suprised to hear
1. It is risk to buy house? Why? I am on H1b visa. What is that?
My wife cannot work? WHy? she is on H4? What is that?
I cannot jump companies as my gc is in progress? Why? Will you get your gc in next three months? No.
When you will get your gc? May be after 6 years or later.
WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT... WHY? etc etc
They do not know anything and they do not care.
Spot on. i think the anti-immigrants grossly magnify the hue and cry over H1-B abuses. Most americans dont know what H1-B is and nor do they care. The only immigrants they have heard about are the illegal kind. Ordinary americans are mostly indifferent to legal immigration. Politicians care first for their votebanks (present and future) and second for their sources of funding aka corporate lobbies. They are the ones who have the ability to make a difference.

The New York/New Jersey and Connecticut members very actively participated in calling their respresenatatives. California members have been known to be great participants. Please call.
Thanks to everyone who has participated and had been participating in Call Campaign Phases I and II. Here comes our next phase - Phase 3.
For phase 3 of our campaign we need to call the Representatives listed below to seek support for bills HR 5882, HR 5921 & HR 6039 from republican congressmen/congresswomen in our area. This is a very critical Action Item and we at least need to make 300 phone calls to be heard. We only have six representatives to contact this time and We can do this.
Please use the instructions provided below to make the phone calls.
(1) Call the congressman/woman office and request to speak with the aide who handles Legislative and Immigration matters
2) If they are not available leave a VM for them
I would like Representative "Representative Name" to co sponsor bills
HR 6039 & HR 5882, HR 5921. All the three bills have wide bipartisan
support in the house and will help improve American competitiveness &
reduce the back logs associated with USCIS. All these bills are non
controversial measures that will help US to stay competitive with a
highly educated and skilled work force
(3) As usual Do NOT get into the CIR issue or illegal Immigration. If
the aide is confusing with CIR or illegal immigration, just tell them
that these are legal immigration bills.
(4) If the aide asks whether you belong to the district or not, tell
them NO if you don't. Mention to them that you already spoke with
your representative and would like the congressman/congresswoman
support.
Here is the list of representatives to contact:
Mary Bono � California 45'th District
D.C Office Ph: 202-225-5330

there are two factors here:
1. Regarding consultant coming to US. As employer told he does not have bonafide job offer. he is at 0% fault and consultant 100%.
2. Regarding paying for h1b fee. employer obviously did not make money here but he was not supposed to take money from consultant.
it's all about greed on both sides.
