I know before you start blaming me for this thread, as it is of no use, I would like to point out that most of you must be experiencing the same thing. I didn't care much for Visa bulletin until it became current for EB2 two weeks back. As the time progress, I am doing all sorts of things, like checking USCIS case status, and checking everything that can possibly give me some information. I know that it is waste of time, I know it is not good for health, I know that I will get GC when time comes, but still, my mind is tricking me to think about it. I checked all these forums until 2A.M last night. I am not having enough sleep. I am waiting for a opportunity to get rid of my desi employer. I am really getting frustrated (I am not saying that I have been waiting for GC approval desperately). I just want to share my frustration and what I have been going through. I know I am in a better position than most of other people whose priority date is not even current. I wish they never dangled a carrot in front of me. I am not sure if they disappoint me next month, but I am still keeping my hopes. Hopefully, I would get over this and have enough sleep from today.
Totally understand your situation. Good that you let out and share your frustration. Sometimes it is therapeutic just to let it out and then go back to normal sleep cycles. As Dalai Lama (with no offense to our Chinese friends on the forum) recently said - Proper Sleep and drinking proper amount of water daily is fundamental aspect for living long and healthy life. Thanks to alergro for pointing out that there is more to cherish and be happy for, and that applies to all of us. Although this issue does affect our lives and every few days we get out of our normal daily routine and think more about future plans, then all of a sudden we see GC roadblock stopping our every plan/progress, and we tend to become extra worried about it, go out searching for all the knowledge available to answer our questions, and in the process become worried and spend a few sleepless nights. It seems that this may be happening in your situation too, just a guess. If the answer is yes, then you have come to the right place and there are many more in the similar situation here. They may not admit this, they may be rude or nasty to you taking offense from the words you chose to post/reply on this forum, or sometimes you take an offense from what they have to say to you, but we are all in the same boat under similar circumstances. If nothing else, atleast that's the consolation you can take from this thread.

From what I gathered, you were just being a messenger and if you look at my post, I have never referred to you in anything. All my answers were directed to hadron. At the same time its a little frustrating to us when people repeatedly keep on questioning our goals/legitimacy. Being a messenger, you bore the brunt from some of us :(
Hopefully you realize our situation and will keep on volunteering/contributing....

The more the evil called 'Labor Subsitution' is alive, the more grief we are gonna get. Especially EB-3's. BEC's are chruning out labors, I'm sure 50-60 % of the benificiaries have moved on. But there approved Labors are being sold openly. I'm guessing there are atleast 30-40K EB3 India in 2001-2003. You can Imagine How any years it'll take for the dates to cross 2003 Dec. My calc is
roughly
3000 EB3 numbers available every year.
statistics says average 2.5 visas are used by each benificiary family. Conidering that if Congress doesn't change anything(Doesn't release any new Green Card numbers and make not change whatsoever) I am guessing it should take 25-30 years for date to become current for an EB3 guy with PD Jan'2004

Lol, Agree with this. We need to include this amendment in the agenda :D
---
We have been model "future citizens" by paying all our taxes, abiding by civic laws and meticulously making sure that we never get out of our precarious H-1 B visa status. This is how we are rewarded. This isn't a "grand bargain" it is not even an "amnesty" as many anti-immigrants are labeling it, this is worse, it is a "travesty." Bravo US Senate, you just proved that playing by the rules is such an unAmerican trait. We learn that from your grand bargain. Better late than never. We know now what to do.
On a different note. We could request these senators to introduce an amendment that will create a new category of visa called "H-2-Z" visa for people who give up on getting a green card based on employment based system but may find it easier to refile under Z visa category by becoming illegals.

Does anyone know if its possible to just renew the green-card or one has to apply for naturalization after 5 years?
You can revnew your GC after an intial period of 10 years. You are at your free will and wish to remain on your GC. You will be eligible for Naturalization after 5 years. That does not mean that you have to use that oppurtunity.
Now to the original question of this thread.
It is highly recommended that one must stay with the original sponsoring company for atleast 6 months after the GC is approved. If you leave the company in good terms with them or rather if they do not create any fuss, then you are safe.
Say in my case, my original employer laid me off and I ported my process with AC21 to another company, where I am working for 3 yrs and just got my GC approved. I am not obligated to stay with this company as they are not my original sponsor. And again they cannot revoke my GC.
Having said that, the employers can create problems for you, if they decide to hunt you down. But that will not do them any good other than the 'revenge' they may enjoy on you.
My collegue was planning to leave his company after GC approval and his employer cancelled the GC process by withdrawing the application. The USCIS has informed him about this officially to him. He was panicked and was about to start another application and one fine morning, his GC approval came to him through snail mail.
What I am trying to say is there are laws, rules, processes and methods. Not everything will be applicable everytime or does not happen all the time. It truly depends on your luck too.
GOOD LUCK!!!

Final Q, how long it took from day1 of EB2 filing to filing I140 this week ?
My PERM was filed on 30th March, approved on Aug 11th, received approval copy on 18th Aug, and I-140 to be filed this week.
There was a lot of prep work involved before filing PERM in March. My employer agreed to start the process in Oct'09 and the lawyers started the ads in early Jan.

I don't know why do we (EB community) support it?
1. There is no economic sense for DREAM act. You are going to make illegal people legal - without any much restrictions. How about kids of people who are waiting for their GCs (kids born in native country)? Don't you see any unfair treatment handed out to kids of legal immigrants.
2. Why not give them legal status until age of 18 or 21, then they must prove their worth to economy by going to F1 visa , h1 visa & using available path to immigration?
3. It is about re-uniting families - There are people struggling in legal immigration queue who want to unite with their families - parents - there is no provision in law or effort of making it possible.
This is all politics & I will never support it.

Suresh,
Sanju just posted in the open what he wanted to say. He has some valid points you know; regarding how some people get fixated on the red dots. Would you have liked it better if he just gave you a red dot anonymously?
But please do not try to compare the dotting issue with the immigration issue.
If the immigration system is fixed, who cares a hoot about these dots? None of us would even be here if there was smooth legal immigration in this country.
Let the core work on the real issues.
And for the record, I personally do not like the dot system. I am in support of leaving all the comments in the open.
I also remember reading on this site some time ago that the dotting system came with the software used for these forums. And its not a simple flag that can be turned on/off to enable/disable that feature.
Sanju,
There are two issues that I have posted on this thread.
1. Interpretation/understanding a post.
2. RED DOT issue ( this is not my priority) . If you read the post keenly.
You, .. your self have made a mistake in Interpretating / understanding the post and reacted overly on the second issue by cornering the actual post.
Do you call this as a Interpretation issue?. Did you get what am I saying. First , read and understand what others meant to be. Don't JUMP on it.
If IV cannot fix this RED DOT issue, how could some one believe in IV would fight for FIXING broken immigration system?.
Perspective is not always matters, there are times .... some thing else matter too. Which is called "Self Respect"
When few people are spending time and knowledge on sharing their thoughts/ideas, how good it would to use F***words against them?.
There are many BAD words ... that some members have used against of my friends. Who no more wanted to participate in IV?.

A US Masters is not enough to make any distinction. There will be a flurry of students to lesser colleges just to be counted as US advanced degree holder. Watch out for spurious universities cropping up here as well. It will become extremely difficult for students to get visa. Right now students have to claim that they will come back (even though there is a separate quota for them in H1!!!!!). It will become impossible to get a visa. People complain of H1 visa fraud, F1 will become a hot bed of frauds.

Fraud is usually about lie. If you hide a material fact from USCIS, that is a lie by ommision; and becomes a fraud if it was done intentionally. Changing employment while on EB GC application is a material fact and would matter much when USCIS decides on your case.
Usually, this kind of ommision is found out when the individual applies for another immigration benefit or for Naturalization.

Hi,
I have a three year bachelor degree + MBA from India with 9 years of experience. My labor was filed requiring Masters degree + 3 year experience with no mention of bachelors degree. Last week, I received I-140 decline (I-140 filed under EB2) citing that my bachelors degree is only three years.
My company is planning to file an MTR with appeal citing 1) My labor only required Masters degree with three years experience and that I have the Masters degree with three years 2) I have bachelors degree equivalent with 3 year bachelors degree and 2 year experience equated to 1 year education equating to US 4 year bachelors degree.
Do you think my appeal would have a chance of success? Please let me know your opinion. I have to file an appeal in next few days. Thanks for your help.
hello,
my qualification is 10 + 12 + 3 BSc Physics + 3 MCA. My LC clearly states that a Master's is required.
does this qualify for a US Master's? please note the fields are different.
My i-140 has been denied and waiting for notice...mostly it education and i filed under EB2 in TSC...
any input guys?????
