Also, if i-140 is revoked , that should trigger NOID or RFE which the lawyer will handle (hopefully successfully).

Remember, the NOID/RFE goes to your Attorney if you have submitted G-28 form. If not, it comes to you.

so many views but no replies yet :(
Yes, you can, but must not get paid. the work must be volunteer work only. My wife was involved in cardiology research for 3 months while on h4. She was not paid - she was just a volunteer.
I would recommend - not to get into unpaid work stuff. This is from personal experience. My wife was unpaid volunteer at Emory Cardiology research , and was being exploited - they found her to be good at work and started dumping all work to her - she was completing charts of paid employees and was working like hell because they set deadlines for her. We were furious and I pulled her out.
When she requested that they give her a recommendation letter for all the work she did - they were reluctant to do it and started yelling at her and were extremely rude so that she wont ask again - they bullied her into signing a document that would strip her name off all publications. Finally after a lot of persistence and insisting, they gave a letter of recommendation.
The reason I write this stuff is - to warn you all - do not get into this kind of stuff. The world is very exploitative and we cannot trust workplaces or people around us.
Use time on H4 for some good stuff - volunteer for IV or there are so many things you can do.

Because there is little certainity about the Green card many people hesitating to buy houses. There is good chance that the housing market will definitly improve if the Green card waiting period decreases.

Why do you even assume that the people who come here by winning the DV lottery are going to abuse the system just like that. One of the requirements to qualify for DV is high school education and work skill in addition to have been born in certain countries. Please look that up. So these people may not neccessarily have advanced degrees (although some may well have them) they are still educated and skilled people who after coming here will start working and start contributing to the society. Yes, there will be some exceptions but then I am sure there are few people in EB lines that abuse the system.
THe Lottery is the dumbest piece to obtain GC. Imagine some guy who does nothing to the USA applies, comes here sucks the $$ out of the system by coming here, staying here and enjoying all monetray benefits of a GC like unemployment benefits etc
If this passes. THere would be a huge relief among people who have advanced degrees

just listen to the show - wonderful performance - you were crisp and to the point ... your points on this EB mess and the closing comments were great ... the 2nd caller shows the typical American common man mentality towards EB community ...
First of all, Mark: Great job ! I think this was a great spokesperson job for our issue. I think the biggest problem facing our issue is lack of awareness. I disagree with sammyb's comment. I don't think the 2nd caller shows the typical american mentailty towards *our* issue. Any talk about immigration, be it legal or illegal, gets overtaken with the bigger illegal immigration debate. And that is natural given the scale of illegal immigration problem when compared to the legal one. I think Mark gave a great response to the 2nd caller by giving perspective. Until there is more awareness about the *legal* immigration issues and a separation from the larger illegal immigration debate, this will be a tough battle.
On the face of it, this shouldn't be hard. People who follow the rules and the majority of them being tremendous assets to the American economy. Just the kind of immigrants a country would want : educated (in quite a few cases highly), skillful , law abiding and language proficient. Yet, here we are.

Before you get carried away please note that even in the Specter Bill people filing for status under Title VI have to
(a) Wait for the PDs that are pending when the Act passes to become current.
(b) If the current PDs do not become current in 6 years -- their applications will be "held in abeyance" till the PDs PDs that are pending when the Act passes to become current.
I take the "held in abeyance" to mean that they might get I-485 filing privileges at that point but those applications will not be adjudicated.
So you will not really get your green card after 6 years -- you'll be pending till all current PDs become current. Given that family PDs are still back in 1983 per the April 2006 bulletin, they won't be getting their green cards any time soon.
The parity issue is really that Title VI recognizes that
(1) worldwide and per-country quotas make no sense -- and yet, the immigrants who go through the arduous labor cert process that protects the American worker are subject to per-country quotas.
(2) Workers should be mobile and be able to self-petition -- yet skilled workers going through the labor cert process are tied to employer AND job description for years.

you should have been OK to go out and get back in, assuming you get the Visa. Probably you can do the same even now, if you do get the Visa.
I know one person who was working on OPT and their employer filed for h1. She continued to work while waiting for USCIS approval even though the OPT expired.
Finally when she did get the decision on h1 that it has been denied, she consulted a lawyer, on their advise, left the country immediately and got back in on H4. However, it was less than 180 days since her OPT expired.
I am not sure how the o1 works or if this info may be relevant to you.
Hello,
Thanks a lot for your answers.
Despite the situation sounds illegal and I agree it is - I didn't wanted to make something illegal and was just waiting for my employer to fill the papers.
I am as well what they call a skilled worker, I basically get a o1 visa to work as manager for a big company and I don't give a fuck - but yeah I get another job offer and didn't waited to have the new visa to start. You know sometimes you can take bad decisions, people can tell you things which never happen, and that's unfortunately how life is.
Last week I get another job offer, it's real and not illegal - I worked a lot to get this offer and spent so much time working hard instead to have fun.
I am currently filling a new o1 with a lawyer and plan anyway to leave the US asap. Maybe I will never have this visa and will probably be bar for 3 years but I really need to try to make everything possible.
When I get the first job offer in the US - I was working as manager in Europe, and everything was pretty fine. I accepted this job, sold and gave all the stuff I owned to come here, in the United States, to work. Today I have no apartment or place to live in my country and I know as well that when you get a non immigrant visa you are supposed to can get back to your country easily but it's like hard to keep 2 rent and 2 places.
I will be very grateful if you can give me your point of view about my case and share your experiences.
Thanks a lot

Sen Kennedy is the reason every one of us could come even be here in the US today. Please read up on some history of legal immigration - especially the one that dismantled racial barriers. The senator might not share your focus or sense of urgency in solving EB issues first and may be more passionate about the illegal issue but that does not mean he's any less interested in legal issues or make him 'exclusively' an advocate for undocumented. Dont unnecessarily diminish anyone who is your friend - once again, go back and read up on the history of immigration especially around the 60's.

In murthy.com website there is the following write up to explain how priority dates are significant after i485 has been filed:
From: http://www.murthy.com/news/UDpdhdtw.html
"If a person has already filed the I-485 application when the dates were current, but then the Visa Bulletin date retrogresses to a date before the priority date, the foreign national would still accrue the benefit of being able to remain in the U.S. with renewable EAD or work authorization and permission to travel, even after completing the six years on H1B status in the U.S. However, the I-485 could not be approved until the date again becomes "current.""
However my question is if priority dates really matter for i140 or i485 processing then what are the processing dates published by uscis all about?
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp
Can anyone please clarify wether priority dates really matter after i485 filing?
As I can see that in NSC i485 of Sept 2006 are being processed.

All the written agreements are valid in most of the states. but you can argue on the terms of agreement. He cannot ask her to stay in the company for 4 years. If she works in that company for 1 year, her employer should recover all the money he spent on her.
The best way is to work there for 1 or 2 years and walk out without paying anything. Or just pay the filing fee and get out right away.

This may be a serious issue. Consult a lawyer. Receipting may take a while.
I sent in form G-325 for both me and my wife along with my I-485 instead of the G-325A as required on I-485 instructions by oversight. What do you guys recommend I do? Should I send in a new application or just send in the G-325A form with a letter stating the issue? Please help.

>> Will there be any problem in visa approval for parents
this is million $$ q :) .. it depends on several factors,including the mood of the officer, other than documents.
But one of the most important thing i learned(my parents got rejected even with plenty of valid docs) is that, how the parents 'express' their indent to return is very very important.
it is like the job interviews here, there will be one or 2 questions.. You got to tell all that would sell you, regardless the scope of the Q..
Same for this interview.. For eg, they have 2cr worth investments and 5 laks pension and old parents leaving with them and a son/daughter to get married and so and so things to take care backhome... think of every possible thing that require them to be in india. any documents to support these claims may come handy.. but not to worry if not available.
nothing to worry, but preparing for this will defenitly help.. wish all the best for them to get visa.
