Employer 1(Very small company and doesn't exist anymore):
1) Labor cleared,
2) I-140 approved
Then Joined in another company (Multi billion company) Employer 2:
1) Labor cleared
2) Mistake: Didn't file I-140 and when priority dates were open in July 2007, they filed for I-485 with Old employer's I-140 and got EADs
3) Still waiting for Green card
My priority date: Sep 2002 (It is carried from first employer)
Still I am getting H1 B extensions - every 3 years with Employer 2
But my wife is working in EAD
In June 2010, we were informed by my company legal dept that they iled I485 incorrectly and they want to correct it. So they started over again.
1) Labor cleared
2) I-140 approved Mar 2011.
3) Priority dates are not current and waiting for it.
My options:1) Backout old I485 now and wait for priority dates and then reapply (Adv: No RFEs, No risk, high probability that we can retain Priority date. Diadv: My wife looses her job and get back to H4)
2) Backout I-485 when priority dates are open and reapply....(Adv: My can work longer and will get at least 90 days break. Disadv: Risk if get RFEs now or reject now before we reapply - risk to loose priority date)
Questions for you:1) Is there any way to file an ammendment to update new I-140 with my existing application without my wife getting impacted? If so, how much riskier it is?
2) Our attorney says we cannot do it because it is invalid I-485. And we have to file a new one. Is it?
3) Then does it mean my wife is working illegally?
4) When is the best time to backout (My wife is not happy to leave her current employer)?
5) Attorney says we have to update them with new I-140 if we get RFE asking for my second Employer's I-140. My question is, Why can't we do it now? How much riskier it is?
Please let me know. I appreciate your advice and help!

Hi,
My company prepared for my PERM filing in EB2 category. They did all recruitement efforts. But at the time of filing, company annouced some lay-offs as "restructuring". Now my lawyer says, it is their policy not to file for PERM before six months of any lay -offs since some lay -offs involve same job title as my labor supposed to be filed. Since this is my lawyer's policy, My question is, is it safe to file PERM right now? What if I use different job title then the one my lawyer used before for recruitement efforts. (I understand he has to do new recruitement efforts for this ne job title, but is it safe?). What choices do I have, I do not want to delay my PERM filing. Please help...
Thanks
Most companies don't file any PERM applications within 6 months of any major layoffs.

After so many mails my lawyer said that they have applied for my LC on 06/25. After 15 emails, she replied that LC applied means it is still in advertisement phase ... oops .. They had my papers and all forms with them since Mar'07.
This they are not really confirming that where they have advertised and for which category (EB2 or EB3)..
:mad:

Shouldn't be difficult but it is the USCIS that we are talking about after all. Unless it is passed as law, it wont happen. A dual stage I-485 application process was being discussed last year but nothing came out of it. Piecemeal legislations will not pass as the public wants CIR not bandaids.
And FYI, EAD does not eliminate employer dependency—you still need an employer.

I will appreciate input/s regarding folloiwng:
Here are the details:
Working with an employer since 2001, EB 3 PD Dec 2003, EAD in 2007, Still on H1b until Nov 10. Though have two masters (both rec'd prior to 2003) i had filed under EB 3 (no one to balim it was just me...was not proactive enough/not enough guidence from the lawyer)
With the same employer, i have rec'd EB 2 approval, want to file I 140 and port EB 3 PD.
Need help/input with folloiwng from the gurus:
1) in EB 3 application the title is "Construction Engineer" with 4 lines of scope of work clarification with bachelors degree in civil engg. and no experience requirement. In EB 2 application, we have used same title "Construction Engineer" with 4 lines of scope of work, we had left 2 lines common (as earlier in EB3 application) and 2 new lines (related to environmental engg. since i have two env. engg. masters with BE in civil engg.)......this ad asked for MS in env. engg. or similar degree with no experience requirement.
Question: EB 2 Labor is approved, i am not sure what they check with i 140 application but does above sound reasonable (not that anything can be changed...but asking for an opinion here).
2) With premium processing, how long it takes to get I140 approved?
3) Do we just file for I 140 for EB 2 first, get it approved and then file letter/application ( i don't know the procedure/protocol) asking to port PD OR do we need file some sort of paper work with I140 to port PD.
4) How long it takes to get case approved (I485) after i140 is approved?
Again, appreciated your help and Thank you in advance.

imagine, if MF digital backs were say, $6999, how many would sell???
bloody thousands....
seems stupid to me to make them so expensive
Right now, they can't make them cheaper. Michael Reichmann (sp?) of the Luminous Landscape speculated that Leaf probably makes a dozen or so of their new Valeo 22 MF backs each month, compared to how many hundreds of thousands of dRebels Canon makes? IIRC, he estimated that the sensor alone (without any support electronics or other hardware) might cost $5000 per unit to make.
Don't be mistaken, I'd love to be able to afford one of those, too, but it will be quite a while before the prices come down significantly (and I doubt they'll ever get quite that low).
