I always thought that FP has to be completed before an EAD is issued .... I guess I was wrong???
I have put in my I-485, I-140, AP and EAD applications on Aug 14th lets see ...

Hi,
Thanks for your advice. I believe that my employer has no problem to write me a recommendation letter or sign support letter.
Do you believe I have a chance or not ? which one?
Thanks,
John
Well, your ideal bet is the standard EB2. It will require a labor certificate. The issue is that the cost of obtaining the labor certificate (including lawyer's fee and job advertisement costs; usually total around $5k-$6k) must be borne by the employer; it is the law. You can bear the rest of the cost (I-140+I-485+lawyer's fee for those two stages). If your employer is willing to at least pay for that, then go for it; you will get your GC within a year or two (assuming no major changes in the rules, situations, etc.).
If your employer is not willing to spend any money, then you have two options: EB1 or EB2-NIW; they do not need labor certificate.
The EB2-NIW category does not need employer's sponsorship. However, a support letter from the employer strengthens the case quite a lot. To prove yourself eligible for EB2-NIW, you need to argue that if a labor test is done and an eligible citizen or permanent resident shows up (and hence you cannot be hired), then it will be a *national* loss to the US. Basically this means you have to prove that your field *and* your individual work in the field are very important to the US nationally (i.e., not just to the particular part of the US where you live/work). Other than publications (number as well as quality), citations, and perhaps most importantly, a set of (10-15) recommendation letters from the well known leaders of your field are usually used to establish this.
The EB1-OR (outstanding researcher) category requires that you be in a "researcher" position and your company employs at least 5 other researchers (I am assuming that you are not a tenure-track faculty member in a US institute of higher education). If this is true, then your employer simply needs to "sponsor" you by providing a support letter. No labor certification is needed; so employer need not bear any cost; you are allowed to pay for the whole process. You need to establish that you are an "outstanding researcher" with international reputation.
From what you have told us, it seems that EB2-NIW might be possible for you, but you very likely do not satisfy EB1-OR's requirements. In any case, there is a good amount of randomness in the process and hence there is always a possibility of getting approved. So if your employer does not want to spend any money and you can spare the money, then it may be worth a shot applying for an EB2-NIW. If you decide to do so, get a good lawyer, though.

USCIS has F1 file. If it illegal to apply for PERM while on F1, why did USCIS not reject PERM?
If they did not catch it at PERM, why did they not catch it at the I-140 stage?
Hi Macaca:
USCIS cannot reject PERM as USCIS has nothing to do with PERM. PERM is done by the dept of labor, and this agency is not part of USCIS.
In terms of PERM, PERM is not considered an "immigrant petition" and thus would not be deemed as violation of status. PERM is berely the assurance there is no workers who want to take the job in the position beeing sought. Note, that when you go for a visa, one of the questions asked is, Have you ever filed an immigrant visa petions, or has an immigrant visa petiion was ever filed on your behalf?"
The law finds an immigrant petion only when one applies via I130 (family based immigrant petition" or I140 (employment based immigrant petition). Only filing of IMMIGRANT PETITION would constituate a violation of one's non-immigrant intent and status.
I am not an attorney, so do not take my answers for granted!

Just a quick update
Today my checks got cashed and from the back of the checks I got the receipt numbers. I was able to track these numbers on USCIS site and the EAD application for myself and my wife is now pending at TSC.
So the mailing address to Mesquite, TX turned out to be the correct location for me to file...

I also met several American citizens who were passing by and were curious about the rally. Me and JazzbytheBay explained and they listened patiently. One hour later I saw them marching with us holding flowers that some of our volunteers were distributing to passer bys. One gentleman was a school teacher.
IV needs grassroot support from half a million people stuck in various stages of green card process. You can be from any country. We welcome and invite members from all countries and communities to join our efforts.
Additionally, one of our best friends can be American citizen who understand the issue from economic, personal and other perspectives. If they become part of our voice we will become more effective.
Each one of us has to become "IV brand ambassador" and present our issue in right perspective to counter so much misinformation floated by some vested interests. Yes, you can do it. We can facilitate.

From what I know TN visa is not dual intent like H1B. So you can't continue processing your GC when holding a TN visa.
Changing citizenship does not affect how Priority Dates are recaptured (aka pd porting).
Once you are Canadian citizen, you can also avail TN visa (in addition to H-1B) to work for US employer.

Does anybody recall an old TV serial in India named 'Appu aur Pappu' about a boy and his elephant?! :D
Looks like the long GC wait is turning me into a crazy person if I start recalling such old serials! :(
I feel nice to have found my appu on this forum!!:D

No objections to AAPI especially when my spouse is a doctor and we are indian... But ethnic diversity in IV is not "good to have", But is must.
In my view It will be easy to achieve goals set by IV with broadbased
support from various ethnic groups.
PS : I am happy it doesn't turn out to be "pie fight" uptill now, But It is always advisable to be cautious.
True - ever heard of the saying 'you can lead a horse to the water, but you cannot force it to drink'!
You cannot rent volunteers either!
Keep trying to encourage more 'other people' to join! But I hope you are not trying to get diversity for diversity's sake - by excluding people who are of same origin as you!

What if your AP does not come until July next year ? Are you planning to wait until then to travel ?
I'll take a chance with the H1 stamping (like I have been doing for the past 6 years) if I dont get AP by end of the year. Dont want to be in a position where I cant come back if I suddenly have to travel for some reason (family emergency etc)... you cant let these things control all your actions...

Relax!!!!!! my 485 application is pending with TSC...As per my jurisdiction i am suppose to send documents to NSC...But when i e-filed it gave me instruction to send support documents to TSC only...so don't panic...
Does that mean I am screwed? My package got delivered this AM at Mesquite, TX as per the tracking receipt.
Will Texas forward my application to vermont or do I need to send the package seperately to Vermont?
Thanks much!

Contribution to IV: $100
Coercing your friends to join & contribute: $240
Getting a GC: Priceless
I am sure we'll all hear from IV core team when it's time to start our phone and fax campaign in support of this or any other beneficial EB provisions to be included in the supplemental bill, if it ever happens of course.
I believe this is where IV stands in terms of strategy:
For minor/intermediate relief: Supplemental bills.
For major relief: SKILL Bill
For everything else: There is CIR :D
