You need to file for I-140 before 10/1/07.
For that you need to have an aproved Labor.
Bear in mind this is just one of the opinions out there (albeit the most prevalent)
Nothing is final yet, untill CIR passes both houses and signed by the president before 09/30/07. (Though it looks highly likely now)
I have gone through the text of old bill (page 265) and new bill (page 291). There is no difference b/w the two.
I believe cut off date will be Jun 19, 2007.
Please read page 286, line 40-44 and then read Section 502 d, on page 291 line 40-44.
Sigh...

All that is being said is very true. Petitioning the US gov't is as American as apple pie. As aspiring Americans we can only be respected for this, if we do it politely and peacefully.
People who put in a herculean effort (not to be underestimated by anyone here) to organize the rally and surrounding activities, broke their backs trying to lay a platform for the rest of us to communicate our case. It is only natural that when they get the lamest of lame excuses, they feel upset.
Every one of us has skin in this game. We need to find some way to lend our weight to this issue rather than just passing time on this or other websites. It is really unclear to me why in America, the most free society on the face of the earth, people feel unmotivated, inert, insecure etc to press what is a most legitimate grouse.
Let me give you a few points that might convince you in this issue. For most of us:
1) We are here at the behest of our employers or the US Gov't (NIW cases). Not on our own accord or illegitimately.
2) The US gov't has certified that our jobs do not have suitably qualified americans to take them.
3) The US Gov't has approved our immigrant petitions.
4) We are in a period of inordinate delay to complete the steps due to a variety of factors, including bureaucratic delays, inordinately long security checks(BTW bad for both us and the country) and an inadequate supply of visa numbers for the number of approved petitions.
5) We are asking the US Gov't to fix this issue and treat us fairly and not make us wait 6-10 yrs for no clear reason.
6) We are asking them to be more straightforward in their policy and to stop sending mixed signals.
Above all we are doing it in the most American of ways. Peacefully petitioning and lobbying the government. Most broad minded Americans can and do relate to this.

I don't understand the confusion. Didn't Ron mention in an earlier post that the DoS guy who makes cutoff decisions said that all new EB-2 India visas will only come from EB-1 unused numbers?
Doesn't matter what Ron thinks - what matters is what DoS is planning to do.
I may be wrong, but I think he retracted this opinion.

yes corret,
I do not understand the point of moving to Canada to come back to US when the retrogression seems to end(which never ends).
What is the point in moving to Canada and waiting for something from US. I would very well stay in US and wait. At least US is better than Canada on every aspect including $$$.
I would say, if you have PR and if you can get a very good satisfying job than what you are doing here which would add value down the line, then there is a point in moving. Just for the heck of having a PR, moving to Canada is not a wise thing to do.
I am sorry to tell you that by going to Canada, in the end you may be better off going back home. I lived there as a PR and I have many Canadian citizens that are tired of the lame system back in the Socialist Canada.

LOL...Couldn't help myself after reading this thread... Guys who are frustrated..i totally commiserate with all of you who are stuck in BEC..All the july filers would be eligible to file for their 485s and would get their EAD's ad AP's a couple of months earlier than the folks stuck in BEC.The BEC folks would get them too when the dates move starting Oct 1st.
Its ultimately the PD thats important for the green card..since you already have your PD much before than the june fliers,you always have your place in the GC line. Unless you guys come and join us its not gonna move...

Even if they approve the GC, they can always revoke and ask you to return the card. This has happened somebody, I don't remmeber which forun I read about it. Call them up and inform them that your PD is not current. You can even go to local ASC and talk to an IO. If you have an attorney, inform him/her.

Getting rid of semilar\same job requirement is going to be as easy or as difficult as getting prefiling AOS.
Getting rid of same\semilar job is not semilar to getting to green card. If you are a software person then you can put a restriction that you have to work in a software related job, in the same way if you a civil engineer then you should work in the civil engineering field. But the way USCIS does same\semilar job is job code match, responsibilities match etc etc etc, the problem with this is it is a very grey area, it is almost like doing labor all over again. It has not become that bad yet but it will sooner or later, how many H1b rfe\denials did you know in the last 2 years, I bet there are more H1 denials in the last 2 months than the whole of last 4 years.
I understand you are not being selfish but why would anybody want to use EAD instead of H1 other than for getting rid of visa stamping purposes. The overwhelming majority of people are going to use EAD to switch jobs because of layoff . When people are transfering H1b because of layoffs they are getting rfe\denial notices, when you move from H1b to EAD because of layoff USCIS might hit you with the same\semilar job rfe (when you file ac21, when previous employer revokes H1 or I140), that is my point.
What I am saying is bring in protection to AOS by
-removing the same or semilar job requirement in AC21
Its not that easy to make this adjustment. If you take out this clause a person can work any where and this is more like a green card. For example a software person can even work in a gas station. I am afraid, this cannot be done as easy as you think.--- Again, I am not saying that it should not be done; all I am saying is let us keep this as a separate item

Going back to India is not a bad option at all, but it is really subjective to each individuals about what gain we are going to get out of gaining GC or citizenship from US or Canada like settling down in these countries for good or moving back to country of origin later. In my opinion gaining citizenship from US or Canada before going back to India will be always advantageous, one future perspective these countries have bilateral agreements with other developed nations where you can travel without visa for business trip or for even jobs where you're treated differently as against India citizens(Asian origins doctors who work in UK know this difference). Its a known fact that the pay structure in Gulf countries are different based on the citizenship.
My 2 cents
kris
Country of origin: India
GC Status : Approved in 2008
Kris04,
Appreciate your realastic advise, I believe its worth one dies in canada for citizenship. I would say CANADA is a great nation and citizenship is widely respected, on top of everything you are widely allowed to any country.

AILA now feels defeated because they could not show themselves as the protector of this community. If you see the lawsuit text by AILF, it clearly asks for money for lawyer fees, but does not asks for moeny for Medical exam and mental agony. So if you are going to trust your lawyers to help you, then good luck.
By the way, your Indian lawyer I dont know the name, sued DOL once and lost.
IV alone did not win the battle alone, it took the concerted efforts of IV and other organizations including AILA and the threat of the AILF lawsuit to get DOS and USCIS to relent and reverse their decision.
It obvious you misunderstood the purpose of the AILF lawsuit. Why file a lawsuit seeking injunctive relief to allow plaintiffs to file and at the same time demand reimbursement of medical fees and compensation for mental agony (I doubt if there were any plaintiffs put on anti-depressants or therapy in those two weeks as a result of the decision). You can't have your cake and eat it, you either win the case to enable filing, or you sue for damages incurred as a result of the decision but then you have to forget about contesting the ability to file, I'm sure any sane individual will be glad to choose the former and in this case thats what the lawsuit reflects. If you have ever read any class action lawsuit, the lawyers always ask for costs of the suit, this is normal even in non class action lawsuits, the loosing party pays the prevailing party's costs!
In the prior lawsuit that was lost, it is clear that Rajiv said recently that such cases against the executive branch of government need to filed in other federal court circuits other than the DC one where it is likely they will not be inclined to frown when deciding against the executive. For the record, his lawsuit was not against the DOL.

Come on man....there is nothing called transfer. Every H1B is new. Only thing is its not counted against the cap when you change the employer.
Thanks snathan, for the response.
I too think every H1B is NEW. Why I am stressing on this point is, since I am in the 'situation' now, I feel little pinch and I was looking for any pointers that closes the door for this doubt. Just like the one desi3933 pointed out.
I am confident and feel pretty safe now. Thanks to Desi3933
Like many suggested here, I go with the attorney and have him/her answer the RFE.
I will update the thread as I find more to help this community with similar situation.

He transferred H1 to Company B and worked for 5 weeks and descided to come back to company A (He is 100% sure that Company A didn't revoke / calcel his H1 and he has valid H1 till 2009).
IS this OK?
Please help by clarifying...
Thanks

H1b Transfer from IT to Marketing.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello All,
First THANKS to all for the fantastic information and help on this forum !
I have a H1 B based on IT ( Software Engineer).
I have already completed 6 years in the US, but I have three year extension till 2010 based on my labour pending for over 1 year.
I am not very keen about Green Card - But I wanted to change my job to Marketing for an insurance company (better pay and it is a role I like).
My questions are :
1) Can I transfer my H1 to do Markeing for the insurance company ( the job profiles are going to be different as my current job is in software) ?
2) Since I am on a three year extension based on my current Labor will it be an issue to transfer to the new company ? ( The new company is willing to transfer but is not willing to file a new H1).
Your advice is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Waitforgc123
