If you resign you will loose your PD and thus GC. The only option is leave of absence.
What school in France did you get into? ( just curious)
This is incorrect !!! GC is for future employement and current employement has got nothing to do with this.

Without any changes to the current system, How many of us will be in a similar position in 3 yrs time?
I am only asking this question since we all know how many of us are in the queue with PDs in 2001-2004 range. If 2800 per country EB category get out of this queue then, absent relief, this could easily be us in 3 yrs.

The only issue I see with using H1/H4 visa for re-entry is that if your I-485 is approved while you are outside US and you use H1/H4 for re-entry, it invalidates your GC and you have to start all over again. You either need to have your GC or an approved AP in hand when you re-enter US in this scenario...

Some key points I heard -
Looks like US Chamber of Commerce supports tougher security and more immigration
The spokesman thinks that immigration bill passing this year is a longshot but a lot has been built for it to pass in 2007.
Kinda support Hutchison Pence but they are not comfy letting people leave and then come back. They think people will be stranded (workability issue)
Believe that Prez Bush is doing all he can but House reps are doing all they can just to ensure they win elections.

Calculate the "real" mortgage interest rate you are paying after taking tax deduction into account. It will be slightly lower than your mortgage interest rate.
Then, see if you can get a better return by investing your money somewhere else. If you can't get a better return anywhere else then pay down your mortgage. Normally - you will find investments with a better rate of return than mortgage.

This is how it should be done...
- request USCIS to port your PD from already approved I-140 from past employer
USCIS may or may not do it for you
- if not apply for I-485 using Category of 2nd (should be EB2) and PD from 1st one. You need to attach both of these with I-485 application and of course a covering letter stating what you are doing.
Here is the extract from the law -
QUOTE
(3) Priority Date Based on Earlier Petition.
If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example:
Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification.
UNQUOTE
Disclaimer -
I am not a lawyer and this is not a legal advise. You may want to talk a immigration attorney for exact interpretation
Now why I suggested you yesterday not to do it -
2nd option - may seem like you would be adjudicated using PD from 1st and Category from 2nd (EB2). But this is what USCIS is telling me know-
we would approve your application if either of these PD gets current in their respective categories.
Kid! you got it now...:rolleyes:

Guys,
Thanks a lot for the response.
I was finally able to get a doctors appointment on July 24th.
Now comes the tricky part:
Is the varicella vaccine required ? I have not had chicken pox as a child. The blood work showed that I need a chicken pox vaccine.
I went to the county health department today , and they gave me shots for tetanus, MMR, PPD, and one shot for varicella. They said that I have to come back in 30 days for another shot of varicella.
I am not sure what my doctor will say to this when I meet him on July 24th. Also, is it possible for the doctor to provide an I-693 with a statement that the varicella shot will be completed later ?

Singing a country's national anthem and pledging allegiance to it are two different things. Scroll up and read my prev response.
Pride yourself on being a citizen of the world as you do, in normal course you have to be a citizen of at least one country to be able to receive a passport and travel the same world.... :)
As someone else pointed out, this thread is to appreciate the passion with which Pankaj sang the anthem. End of Story.
jazz
I did not feel like signing along for two reasons: we are not US citizen yet, and I consider myself citizen of the world and will always be. I do not aspire to become citizen of the United States of America.
Even when Americans sang their national anthem in a church, I felt not right. Churches are not supposed to be linked to states. There should be no country boundary within the Christian world.
There should be no country boundary within the world we want to build either.
By the way, if the United States go to war with your country of birth, who will you side with? Will the United States trust you?

I recently got my wife's PP renewed from DC. not NY sorry
Hello All -
I am planning to get my PP renewed at the NY consulate and had a couple of questions and I was hoping someone could shed some light on them.
i) The DC website states that one can *only* apply 6 months before expiration date but the NY website does not? Mine is going to expire in ~8 months. Anyone know if it is 6 mo across all consulates?
You may have to call them up for this info
ii) They have it in big red font that the photograph should be 3.5 cm * 3.5 cm, the US standard PP size is 50 mm * 50 mm .. any ideas where I can get them done in the right dimension?
I did it at home - using my digital camera and photoshop :) . There are tons of places that would click the PP photographs!!
iii) If applied in person do they issue the PP the same evening?
You can't collect it that evening. The will fedex it to you within a week
Thanks in advance to anyone who can share their experience esp. at the NY consulate

all that stuff comes in at I-140 stage. During PERM/LC they dont care about his qualifications, its the job that is being certified.
See the audit questions again, all relate to justifications that the requirements are really needed for the job advertised. ie. when the job ad said MS+2 Years is needed, DOL wants to know why this job requires MS+2 Years of experience. His lawyer is right, a more conservative approach to job requirements (MS+0 or BS+5 for EB2 is much more easier to defend). As you increase the minimum job requirements, it reduces the pool of available candidates who can apply for the job. DOL wants to make sure the minimum requirements are really valid, and not set artificially high simply to reduce the pool of candidates.
Basically your LC sponsor needs to be able to justify all requirements posted for the job (education, experience, specific skills) else you can be in trouble.
Yes audit questions seem to be hinting screw up from employer side but then also it can not be judged exactly on the same line without going into detail of provided job classification, job requirement and furnished docs from employee.Now all of the areas you mentioned are crucial from employer side and in addition to that "employee's degree" evaluation is also done at labor stage,(PERM or OLD LC). Please see following link.
http://www.usabal.com/permres/PERM_Overview.html
Now logically screw up can occur at one of the two or both segments. "Employee side related docs and process" and "Employer side docs and process". I was kind of trying to know whether poster might not have screwed up anything from his side. You covered the areas "from employer side" - whether it may be business necessity and/or recruitment results. Now if employee's docs have conflict with any of "business necessity" for an example evaluation cert depicts MS (Electrical Engineering) and "business necessity" is to hire "MS (Computer science) then also it could create the problem. In such case employer/lawyer if can establish that MS (Electrical) can also that job then matter is finished..

As others mentioned, If you apply for J1.. Your husband wont be able to apply for 485 for you for SURE unless you are done with J1 Waiver. You may also potentially jeopardize your husbands 485 application because USCIS may find out that you(spouse) are on J1 even if he does not apply 485 for you. I am not sure about this point thou, You may want to confirm with a lawyer.
As i see things the only safe BET is your husband applies for 485 for both of you only after you finish your J1 waiver. Again in this case if USCIS finds you have done J1 in the past, Your application could be potentially delayed because they may have to do additional checks to confirm J1 waiver etc. When it comes to USCIS IMHO its better to not give them reasons to delay your application if possible.
Since in your case as you have not started yet you are looking at 3 years of residency + lets say 3 year of J1 waiver
So for the next 6 years from the day you start residency you may not be eligible to apply for 485. And the way USCIS works where they suddenly open the window to apply, I dont think its a good idea.
I would say find a program which sponsors H1B strictly. We faced the same predicament 2/3 years back when my wife applied for residency. We strictly applied to H1B residency programs only and my wife got into one of them (She had very good USMLE scores(99/98) and some good recos/prev work exp).
Hope this helps.
I'm trying to secure a residency in one of the hospitals in the US and my husband is already has I140 approved for himself. Currently i'm in the US on H-4 status and want to apply for residency at one of the hospitals. The problem is, some hospitals only offer J-1 visa and i know there is some restrictions to J-1 visa, that i might have to serve in some under serve area for ? years.
I was thinking that i can sign the contract but by the time i'm done with my residency, my husband will already have his EAD or atleast GC and he wil aplly for me as well. WOuld this releive me of the responsibility to serve in an underserve area ot not? Thanks.

Similar situation...
I am getting married in the 1st week of Sep and am planning to get my spouse by mid Sep.
Can someone please suggest if I am fine, if I apply alone for I-485 around Jul30(and not for EAD and AP??) and add my spouse around sep20th. I-140 approval is pending and have a valid visa till '08.
How long does it take for the I-485 'approval' and is 2-3 months a safe window to add ones spouse?
Any suggestions and help with my planning are greatly appreciated. :)
1) Does one have to be physically present in the US to apply for I-485? Can I send the marriage certificate and any other papers reqd from both of us in Sep 1st week from India (hopefully PD would be current)
2) Is it just the marriage cert that is reqd for filing I-485 together. Assuming I am here and have the marriage cert, can I apply for my spouse even if she is in India.
Thanks.

I am already actively participating in all the event for "Filing 485 when PD is not current" in immigarationvoice ...
I sent my contribution amount for IV's April month washington campaign also ...
I understand 221g is an action to prevent fraud. But at the same time consular officer should give a chance to prove visa applicant's point at the time of interview. In my case I had most of the docs at the time of interview, Why don't they accept those docs and start processing immediately, then I would have saved some 3 weeks ...
Moreover, Not all ther employer will hold your position, If your case is taken long period for approval. They have to run their business ...
So I would expect DOS should change the way of handling 221g cases. Right now It's too lenghty and more confused ...
