My Application is also in Texas. I got a Soft LUD too... Seems like they are also preadjudicating
If I don't get an RFE following this LUD, then I will have more confidence switching to EAD when my H1-B expires in September.

Here's an anecdote -
This was back in the late 80s, when I was growing up - in Bangalore.
India had just lost the Finals of a well fought [field] hockey match to Pakistan. We were all very disappointed by the loss, but it saddened me further to see a victory procession with waving Pakistani flags in the Muslim parts of the City.
Ofcourse, India is a secular country and more so the United States.. and you can cheer whoever you please..
But, If you chose to become a US Citizen, and US were in a battle with your country of Origin (let's narrow it down to Sports, to keep it less complicated), which country would you side? If I chose to side with my country of origin, it would make me a hypocrite, wouldn't it ?
>> which country would you side?
Without a doubt, USA as I am a US citizen and USA is my country.

You guys are amazing.. I have one hypothetical question.. Please pls let me know what you would have done in the below scenario. I think a simple yes or no answer is what I am looking for.
PD is Apr 06 - I-140 approved - Currently Unmarried � WILL TAKE ATLEAST ONE YEAR BEFORE I GET MARRIED - My Spouse will be residing in India at the time of marriage - Spouse would not have any valid U.S visa (H1 or L1).
I have read this thread and others, and I think I understand a little on how the process works. I am looking for your gut-feeling answer if I should apply for 485 or wait till I get married. Let�s assume that my marriage will take place only after one year from now.
I know it�s a very very tricky situation, I am very confused. Obviously, my preference is to wait for a longer time to get my GC, than separated from spouse for years.
Should I apply for 485 or not?
There are so many stages where you can apply the breaks. Like if you get your FP too soon..you can reschedule the date or even withdraw the I-485 application later. Other option is to convert to CP. There are so many options and talk to your attroney.
I feel you should file now, try to do civil ceremony done in india in 30-45 days so you are safe.

// 2006 PD filers dont worry abt spouse 485. Your PD would become available only after couple of years. My PD is Sept 2005 and I dont anticipate to get my GC within 2yrs. For reference look at the PERM data that is published, you would get a good idea. //
So, we (who are not married and PD 2006/2007 EB2) file 485 now and wait for our PD to come CURRENT again to file our spouse 485. We'll maintain our
H1B and bring her here on H4 and then wait for the PD to become CURRENT.
If she decides to go on H1 or F1, then we'll be able to invoke our EAD and change employers if needed, else what's the use even applying for 485 alone if we don't want to use the EAD at all ??

There is also a 7 percent cap for each country. The sum of family and employment visas for china and india cannot exceed 25,000 approx as long as ROW is oversubscribed.
IF excess visa from EB2 ROW overflows to to EB2 china/india, this would clearly violate the 7 percent limit as the sum total consumption of visas by these countries would be well over the 7 percent of employment visas. Unless the overall demand for employment visas is less than what is available, the 7 percent would clearly apply.
The only thing that I feel might happen would be any unused EB1 china/india visas flowing down to EB2 china/india.
What ever you are saying is absoutly true till year 2000,ie before AC21 act.
But after 2000, the simple answer is NO. The unused numbers in EB2 shuold go to retrogressed countries in EB2 first, and if any numbers are left then it should go to EB3-ROW.

The next step should be to reply to the senator mentioning that the data is ambiguous and asking for a more clear response. Is it I-140 or I-485, does it include families etc. etc.
Also explain to them that based on these numbers, it will take X years for a person to get a GC and that the system needs reform.
I have worked with a senator's office for a completely different matter and they are very responsive - since you have caught their attention and already have a file open, it will be helpful to respond with a concise letter so that you can get more accurate information.

3 Year Bachelors in India + 2 Yrs(Msc) /3 Years(MCA) + 5 years of Exp (excluding sponsoring emp)
4 Year Bachelors in India + US Masters + 2 years of Exp (excluding sponsoring emp)
All these qualify for EB2. Just make sure you Job Description requires eb2.
Also, consult with a leading attorney and show you employer, that this is doable.

you will know when you face layoffs and unfairly they target you.
H1 and L1 laws:
We (employees) didn't write it.
Outsourcing companies didn't write it.
US government wrote these laws.
Why should an H1B pack his bag in zero days when he loses his job ? ( He doesn't even get time to sell his house, take care of his kid's education etc)
Why is an H1B employee asked to pay for social security and medicare when government knows that he cannot take advantage of these benefits ?
Why does different DMVs discriminate against H1Bs when issuing licenses ?
Mr Dick and co is ready to kick you all out of the country. It does not matter whether you are on H1 or L1.:mad:

In the end it comes downs to your risk profile and expected rate of return. For example Gold is supposedly safe, but is this a good time to buy ? It is at an all time high (Around $850-900 an ounce. It was around $250 an ounce in 2000). Will it go further up, most probably, but nobody can say how much. Will it come down - you bet.
My take is - all the things in the list are vehicles of diversification. In a portfolio you should have some gold, real estate, stocks, bonds etc. and you need to constantly re-balance your portfolio as per your situation.
Also, if like most people, you don't know how to time the market, dollar-cost averaging is a good option. If you want to add gold to your portfolio, don't buy all of it today. Buy it at intervals - a friend of mine had a very good way to do it. He bought a gold coin at every family occasion - Birthday, Anniversary etc.
If you are not in india, then you are somewhere to earn more than you do than in india. So investment is safe if you can afford to invest in that property without a loan. If you are taking a loan you are getting ripped off. STOP there.
to me agricultural land is next to investment in gold. agri land always holds value(sale value) or appreciates over time. Always you can get decent return by farming something there. So my belief is you always get 6%+ return on investment over short/long period of time.
city properties are just a ripp off. So get only one property if you want to live for yourself.. Investment of say 50 lacs on a flat(condo), may give you a good rent. But for how long? and what % of interest you pay on that loan? And what will the aging affect be on that flat!!...
that way land | house is better choice!
To me below are investment items first the highest safety + return(decreasing order or preference)
1. gold(other precious metals)
2. treasary bonds../govt assured accounts
2. agri land(either in india or US, in is labor is higher)
3. city independent houses
4. select mutual funds
5. stock market
6. Condos

Why do they come on wife's account ? Is it legal if spouse makes mistake in any case ?
Wife or child account is considered a 'FAMILY' account and they can impound that account. Unless you divorce your wife and then transfer the money into that account you cannot expect that the money in your wife's (or ex-wife's) account is safe if a judgement is passed against you.

"This rule will not only eliminate substitutition on the OMB approval and release in the Federal Register but also kill the certified labor certification unless it is used within 45 days from the date of certification! Please stay tuned to this web site reporting."
this still means one's employer can substitute it within the 45 day period ?? isn't it ...

I think we should emphasize HR 5882 and write to:
1. The President ASAP
2. Immigration Subcommittee
3. All CHC members
The intention is to bring this bill to the floor this year and make sure it is passed.
I think people with PD 2001, 2002 and 2003 should definitely write as they have a better case than the 2006 or 2007 filers.
This is our last opportunity this year to let go.
Absolutely, we should write letter to all the authority and make sure HR5882 is passed this year. Do we have any letter format ready? I will send out today itself if we have the letter ready.

I also got email from CRIS last night stating that my I-129 has been reopened.
I have a very simple immigration history:
I-129 filed and approved April 2005, petition expires 3/30/2008; only ever worked for this same company.
No H-1B extensions ever filed, no H-1B transfers ever done, no previous history of US immigration prior to April 2005.
Labor, I-140 and I-485 were filed November 2006; I-140 approved February 2007, I-485 approved June 2007, EB2 green card arrived June 2007.
There was a LUD on the I-140, in August, but that was about the same time as a bunch of other people got LUDs on cases starting SRC07... seems like I can disregard that.
There was also a LUD on the I-129 without a status change later in August. No explanation for that was apparent.
And now I get a notice on 10/23/2007 saying that the I-129 has been re-opened and that something will happen within the next 30 days. I'll be sure to keep you all updated if I get anything like an actual I-797 notice through the mail.
Did anyone else get anything on October 23rd?
Ok, so we figured it out. The case really has been re-opened... soon after I got the GC, apparently the attorneys wrote to USCIS and informed them that I'd no longer be working for my company in H status but rather in LPR status.
They asked USCIS to withdraw the LCA and the I-129 petition, so it's normal that the case eventually gets re-opened.
We're expected that USCIS will subsequently revoke the original I-129 sometime within the 30 day period that CRIS mentioned.
If anyone else is in the same boat, there's nothing at all to worry about... as long as your current status remains valid.
Any idea why it's important for the attorneys to notify USCIS that I'm no longer a H worker? The petition would expire next March anyway...
