What about salary requirements?
I am planning to move to a State, where the cost of living is low and hence the salary is lower than what is specified in my LC.
Is that an issue?
Thanks
>> Any location restrictions when using AC21?
No.
AC-21 job should be same/similar and must be full-time position.

Same here ... for EAD and AP (for me or dependent) my company does not reimburse these fees. They will however reimburse if I have to use EAD to work due to unavoidable H1 extension issues/ inability to extend beyond 6 yrs etc. I think that is a fair and reasonable policy in general
I know they charge a lot, but my employer will pay them higher fees but my employer will not pay me filing fees.

It's a sad day to see IVers granting each other 'red squares' , and committed members asking each other to 'shut up'.
We are quick in jumping at each others throat for no apparent real reason ! Being part of a forum is sharing space with others, with those whom you disagree, and those who disagree with you. Argue logically, but don't make it a personal fight.
Don't agree with someone, make your displeasure known. If things seem to be getting hotter, ignore the other person. Live and let live. We have bigger issues to worry here - GC mess - instead of who said what !

I would expect a minimal level of service from an expensive lawyer whether my company or my wife's company or I myself pay for it. We are their client. That is what they do not understand.
Can you believe they took 10 days to inform us what docs we need to provide for the 485 filing even after the fact that we had called them the day in June when the priority dates became current. Even in the list of documents, they had "Certified Birth Certificate" and when we asked how do we get Certified, they were like oh just give a photocopy. We had already spent 3 days researching about this CERTIFIED BIRTH CERT. The certified concept is something which is not common in India but it is in USA and a company like Fragomen should know this - it is their job.
Even after HR's multiple emails approving to start the filing 15 days later they ask us if HR has approved this - RIDICULOUS.
We asked them for the copies of the filed petition, they took 1 month to provide them as they were TOO busy filing other applicants - fine but making copies and sending over should not take more than 20 mins.
Now, I have been asking for a receipt for the money I paid out of my pocket so that I can get it reimbursed from my employer, they are giving me a hard time.
All I expect is when we are paying so much money - they should provide services to us.
All I know is if I was providing this level of service to my client, I would have been fired, but given that in this process you get stuck with a lawyer and cannot do much about it....they are using it to their advantage which they should not be...

I�ve been laid off as of Friday last week.
My employer started laying off people an year ago and there were too many cycles so far. I was immune to all those layoffs until Friday. They eliminated everybody in my team, 15 people in total.
I am in the final stage of my GC and I have 2 year EAD. My H1 is expiring in March and my (ex) employer already paid my Attorney for the 3 year extension. They have decided to extend my H1 and paid for the expenses. But in the mean time, they were forced by the investors to show profitability and hence the layoffs.
My (ex) employer is based in Massachusetts and my Labor Certification was done from this location.
I have received job offers from some of my employer�s clients. However, they are based in other States (CO, OH & WA for instance) and they might not be able to do my H1. One of them is interested in hiring me on a contract basis, since they had frozen new hiring.
Is taking a job outside of Massachusetts impact my pending I-485? or Will it violate my Labor Certification conditions? I couldn�t find an answer for this anywhere.
Also, can I take contract jobs for the time being?
I sent out an email to my Attorney with all these questions. But, he is not available until Tuesday next week.
Please post your answers, comments and suggestions.
Thanks!
i work in mass too and i'm facing a similar situation..i'vent sent u a pm . pls look at it

There has been some discussion about travel outside the US when one files for I-485. I found the official USCIS document (see the right hand side of page 4 on link below) that mentions that if you're on an "H" visa, which is the case for a lot of us, we can travel outside of the US without applying for advance parole.

Pappu,
I have helped in some other initiatives, but not donated money primarily because I was disgusted with some folks calling non-donors as free loaders. Anyway, since it is needed for our cause and our voice at this moment, I have donated $50. First time ever! Do keep up the good work that you guys always excelled at!

My PD is April 07.
I got two LUDs on June 26th and June 30th out of the blue for my 485....
Not sure why...
I applied for EAD renewal on June 24th though.... but I got LUDs saperately for these two too but on idfferent days
May be USCIS has started working tail backwards OR there's some serious bug with their SQL queries to sort data...:)
God bless us all!

I finally received my I485 denial notice. I had to make 4 infopass appointments to get the letter. My attorney hasn't yet got it. I will be filing for MTR and sending the request to Ombudsman per another thread on this forum.
Was curious if others have the following in their denial notice:
last paragraph:"There is no appeal for this decision" This decision is without any prejudice to any future I485 application that you may file....blah blah.."
They have quotedsection 245 immigration and nationality act [8 USC 12s5]..states " underlying visa petition upon which seek permanant residence has been revoked...blah blah"
Is this pretty standard?

If you are employed in IT field, as far as I know federal skilled workers and AINP H1b stream are almost blocked except for managers. Canada immigration program has a list of occupation category; if you work in one of the listed classification then you can apply for PR. About an year back federal skilled worker deleted all computer related classification but managers. In May 2009, AINP did the same and now only IT managers are eligible.
If you are employed in non-IT category, you may still be eligible.
But AINP looks "little" better when compared to other immigration programs.
is it mean Canadian door's are closed for people who employed in IT field and do non-managerial job?
Is there any other alternative option to apply Canadian PR after exclusion of occupation category from federal and province Skilled worker category?

Those who are watching the threads for some success, nothing will happen if we don't contribute and lobby the bills.
Hence please give a hand to IV by CONTRIBUTING for the SUCCESS...
Those who are contributing let's move forward.. I will contribute another $50 at 20K..

Dear Bigheart Sanju
I would love to get a free lunch but facts are facts. I will not argue with you or about you but when and if you can refute ANY of the following statements, do write back and we can have a healthy discussion on this forum:
1. Why does Walmart/Gas station charge me money? I pay for a service or product I want which they give and have irrefutable proof that they gave. IV has no such proof of anything it has done for anybody individually or as a group on this forum.
2. You buy bandwidth and free lunch by donating?? NO. Do you see that big ad for a lawyer splashed on every page? That is what pays for the bandwidth. Many "non-donors" answering questions for each other in this forum or just by the act of engaging in fruitless discussions with you is what is paying for the bandwidth.
3. You seem to be under the impression that IV got the visa-bulletin reversed??? Moses, wake up and smell the roses. The massive class-action lawsuit being pursued by AILA, the Silicon Valley lobby pressuring Zoe Lofgren, almost all immigration lawyers asking people to join the class action .. what about all of that? Do think your 25 bucks on the flower campaign is what got the bulletin reversed?
SERIOUSLY??
And there were some comments about "if you dont want to contribute, get the heck out of here".... Can you explain to me how this is any different from "If you dont agree with me, dont talk to me?"
Why is dissent from the popular ideology of "IV is our saviour" treated with such disdain?
I just said that "IN MY OPINION (which is mine and only mine and I dont speak for anyone else) I dont think IV is doing anything". People who think IV is doing something are most welcome to put their money where their mouth is....But the problem arises when IV pretends to represent the "Immigrant Community" but then turns back and says Well, there are 2 kinds of immigrants, the kind that give money to us and the kind who dont....See where i am going with that? Do try to think about the possibility (and i am only saying possibility) that you might be wrong and the one with the different viewpoint might have some merit to the discussion?
that's ok, you are eb2. so no worries, totally understand. no one is asking you to donate, did u get a personal email or phone call from me asking you to donate? You came to this thread, read my post, felt guilty conscious, and thought someone is asking you to donate, and came up with an absurd reason not to contribute. who asked you to contribute in the first place?
History? your I-485 was applied on 2nd July, 2007. Do u know the history of why u'r AOS was not thrown out the window because CIS reversed the visa bulletin? Who cares, as long as you are in the queue and others are paying for your free lunch.
