Hi,
I just want to know as to will the Green Card process happen faster if the State of GA were to sponsor it?
Request you to reply soon.
Thanks
I dont know of anything specific.But if it's a job designation of utmost importance at the state level then it might help in name check(I am not sure) but otherwise I dont think it makes any difference.
Just my 2 cents

Hi Sri,
Don't panic. This is NOT the end of your immigration journey. You are covered by AC-21, so if you find a job in a similar occupation with another employer, you can certainly take it. Your employer should seriously consider appealing the denial in order to preserve its reputation and to continue to employ H-1 workers.
If you have reason to believe that your employer might not be fully compliant with immigration laws, particularly as they relate to labor certifications and I-140's, you would be most protected if you changed employers
Ann
Thanks a bunch Ann. I really appreciate your help.
Thank you IV.
You made my friday.

As your H-1B has been withdrawn prior to your filing for the H-1B change of employer, you are now out of status. An H-1B withdrawal is technically effective immediately upon receipt by USCIS.
The best bet would be to file for a new H-1B (assuming that you did not exhaust your six years of H-1B time) under the fiscal year cap as this has not been reached.
You should notify your legal counsel of the H-1B withdrawal and see how they want to handle it. While it is true that you are currently not in status, they may have an alternate policy.

Mostly IV and Immigration committee chair women, but how does it matter now.
I think It matters as what worked this time may also work for future issues like SKIL bill, raising GC quota, etc etc.

Any help would be appreciated.

service requests taking up to 60 days now and processing times 60 days behind published figures.
About 45 days ago I raised a service because my receipt date was more than 60 days older than the Nebraska service center processing date. At 30 days after raising the service request I called and asked what's happening, they said wait until 45 days, at 45 days I called and asked what's happening, they said wait until 60 days.
The IO told me that they are way behind with the service requests, and it is taking 45 to 60 days to answer. Indeed they are hardly able to answer service requests.
I also asked her to hazard a guess about when my case (receipt date 4 May 2007 current with VB) might get adjudicated, she said by 30 April - they have a target to clear older petitions by 30 April. She said that they are about 60 days behind their published processing dates.
My reasoning for this -- potentially this is because of EB3 moving forward in the visa bulletin and 180 day name check rule -- it effectively moves the processing dates backwards since they are not pre-adjudicating, but they didn't want to move the reported processing times back.
She was also able to tell me that my name check was passed and confirmed that receipt date is what counts not notice date (unlike IO I previously spoke with). Something I knew but wanted to hear from them too.
So summary:
Service requests -- may take 60+ days to answer (maybe they'll say 90 days when I call at 60 days).
Real processing times are about 60+ days behind published (at least for Nebraska).
Of course since you can raise a service request when receipt date is > 60 days behind processing date, they are encouraging raising of service requests which they are now swamped with.

Hello
I am a physician who is doing his residency on H1b. My wife has applied for green card with a priority date 4/2004 (employment based category 3). I have applied for my green card with her. Now we are in I 485 stage.
NOw that the way dates are progressing it seems it will take a while for her date to become current for EB3. I was wondering if I apply for green card when I finish my residency, can I recapture the priority date?
I'd appreciate your help. Thank you

Depends on whether your I-140 is approved or still pending.
Here what I think.
Lets assume your I-140 is approved.
Remember GC is based on future employment.
Now if AILF wins lawsuite and USCIS accept your application you will get receipt date of July 2007. Your I-485 is not going to get processed in 6 months. It is surely not going to get adjudicated in 6 months. By Jan - Feb 2008 you will be able to invoke AC21 and change your intent and still be able to get your I-485 adjudicated. This all you can do working for a company other than the one who filed your I-140 / 485.
Only risk here is that if USCIS processes your case in first 6 months and send you a RFE for a current Employment verification letter / paystubs. But again chances of this thing happening is rare and remote given the numbers of I-485 petitions they will receive in July 2007.
my 2 cents.
This is my personal opinion and Its always better to get an advise from a good immigration lawyer.

Hello Guys,
I have been working with my current employer for last 3 years as Software engineer and filed for PERM last October (18th Oct 2007). My six year H1-B limit expires in January 2010.
Now I'm getting an opportunity to move into Technical Program Management internally (within the same company).
I have couple of questions based on the above scenario
1. Is it safe to take the new opportunity since I have to start over my PERM process (given the backlog in Atlanta center) and also given the amount of time left in my H1-B (approx 15 months left)?
2. If I file a new PERM application now, can I use the experience that I gained in this company as part of the app OR should I use only my previous employer's experience (which was 3-4 years ago and has little relation with what I might do in program management) for the PERM app?
Your replies are greatly appreicated and thanks for your time

H1 has been approved for 2009 quota for a client A. it is almost one and half year and the visa stamping has not been done. The client A is no more interested and a new Client B is interested to offer the same position in a different location or at H1 petitioning employers location. The LCA has been filed for the Client B and may get approved in next couple of days. Is that okay to use this new client letter while going for H1B Visa stamping? This new client is not the one on whom the actual H1B petition is approved.
Question is When going for H1 B visa is it necessary to use the client letter that has been used when applying for H1B approval. Can the clients be different while going for Visa Stamping?
This is urgent as the visa stamping appointment is in a few days. And the attorneys suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

Hi There,
My 485 application is pending at TSC on EB3 category, country of chargebility is Inida. Yesterday my PERM labor approved on EB2 category and need to apply 140 to recapture my own EB3 PD.
My employer will come under NSC. if the PD recaptured, I will be hardly one month away from my priority date to be current, as per the current visa bulletin dates.
So can you please provide some suggestion to which Service Center will be opt for filing EB2 140 now, in order for getting an optimal process for 140 and eventually 485?
Or does the service center really matters as it will take a very long time for me to get greened?
Thanks,
B+ve.
AFAIK, you are required to file these applications with the NSC. How and why cases get transferred to TSC is not known - mostly speculation.
This isn't legal advice - just based on information I have read up a while back - not sure if anything has changed in the last couple of years...
