Here is another part of story.
My PD was current back in 2004, this attorney/employer ignored my calls/emails from Oct to Dec 15. They filed my 485 during christmas week end, they screwed up something and USCIS rejected my application (thats what they say). Thanks to retrogession from Jan 2005. All my documents were ready by Oct. I would have had my EAD since 2005.
De javu, again I am being mandated to file thru same attorney. I don't have problem paying more money for a good attorney and good service.
I don't know if I am in a trap or something.

140jibjab,
im also in similar situation. wife wants divorce, but since she doesnt want to return to india, she has applied for H1 lottery and waiting. She is working on EAD and requested me to keep her dependent till 2008 october.
we have applied for divorce in india and we will keep the final judge hearing in october 2008.
i asked my lawyer how to handle 485 situation: this is what he said
1. there is no formal process to remove a 485 application.
2. after u get ur divorce decree, take an infopass appointment and explain/ask what shud be done.
3. he said - most probably, the officer will ask ur WIFE to submit a informal letter requesting abandonment of 485 appln due to divorce, along with copy of divorce decree.
4. in case ur wife does not follow up becos she is not in the country etc, you urself can request abandonement for ur spouse.
5. keep record of the letters and correspondence with infopass/USCIS becos incase u remarry and reintroduce a new 485 for new wife, INCASE they raise a flag that u already have a derivative, then u can use the correspondence proof to show old deravative is not valid anymore due to divorce.
6. Lawyer also said, there have been cases where in abandonment letters were sent, and yet GC arrived in mail. basically he told my wife, if ur lucky and i dont get married before 485 approval, there is still chance u will get ur gc inspite of indian divorce being complete. (looks like US dept does not proactively refer foreign records of marraige at the tme of adjudication).
hope this helps...i plan to follow same procedure after my divorce finalizes.

...We are even more screwed because since our dates are current we can not even get 2 Yr EAD or 3 yr H1 extension but you have to renew both annually....
That is not true. In my case, when I sent my EAD renewal my PD was Current. They sent me a 2 yrs EAD instead of processing my GC. So weird.

sanju,
you said: at some point uscis would send a request to you for employer verification?
why would they need that: as we have submitted that at the time flinig 485?
i dont know if the above is true only for consultancies?
i work in a big software corp and never heard of any queries at all?
approved 140, file 485, wait for 180 days, change jobs, no queries at all (irrespective of whether you change jobs or not)
am i missing something here?
thx
If 485 application is pending for longer time, say more than 2 years, I have seen that USCIS wants a reconfirmation from the employer that they continue to support the green card application for the position for which the application was originally applied. This is not just applicable to consulting companies alone. Any types of companies and applicants in any categories (Eb-1,2&3) could get RFE at the last stage of the process. So to have your application processed without a shred of a doubt, it is best to be in a position to reply that RFE anytime during the process.

There is an unpublished appeals office decision supporting the 3+2 equivalency to a US masters. It appears that some adjudicator do not necessarily follow the AAO decision however an attorney told me that if the case goes back to the AAO office then the AAO follows their own decisions. As far as I know the cases I am familiar with all were approved at some point (or are pending) when the AAO case was sited.
As far as the 3 year bachelor degree equivalence to a US bachelor degree there are notes from an AILA liaison meeting where USCIS stating: "Credential evaluations that provide a details comparison of credit hours completed by the beneficiary for the 3 year bachelor's degree program with credit hour required by comparable U.S. bachelor's degree program." Exactly what is meant by this is not clear. However, one might say that this indicates that they are at least open to accepting the 3 year equivalency to a bachelors degree.
Our experience is mixed. We have had many approvals when showing the 3 year degree equivalent to a US bachelor degree and we have had denials. In examining the differences it appears that when the attorney makes a strong case in addition to the evaluation the rate of approvals is higher. We don't have exact statistics since many clients do not report back.
There are some cases where 10+2+3+2 got approved in EB2. But lately CIS has been interpreting the BS requirement to read single source degree. Combination of degrees to equate to the bachelors is not allowed for EB2 purpose.
I agree, they had given approvals under EB2 with a 3 year degree. I have few friends who dont even have Indian masters (like MCA) after 3 year Indian degree (BSc , BCom) i.e 10+2+3+1 year diploma from computer institute, but got approved under EB2 and now citizens.

What about if the I-140(EB2) rejected?. The 485 will be rejected too?. What are the possibilities of I-140 rejection?
Thanks
The request to adjudicate I-485 will go out only after EB-2 I-140 is approved. I-140 rejection "should" not trigger your pending EB-3 I-485 rejection but it all depends on how the IO interprets your case. He could issue an RFE (I would guess) asking for an EVL for your EB-3 case. In my colleague's case however, TSC automatically adjudicated the I-485 since the new EB-2 I-140 carried the same Alien# as the pending I-485. It seems TSC has a system in place to identify such cases, NSC doesn't. Another colleague of mine whose I-485 is pending at NSC and EB-2 I-140 approved at TSC is still waiting for I-485 approval and its been a month since his I-140 was approved.

Hi,
If you check the bright future jobs website, you will not find any reference to such a "Call".
Beware, calling the number might expose your phone number, and you might become a victim.
Please be aware law enforcement has been notified, if anyone encounters any problems as a result, please contact law enforcement.
I hope the deranged person who originally posted the message can receive help soon.
BTW, if "Antis" is your calling card (it's rarely used in reference to those participating in the immigration debate) you might have exposed yourself a little too much.
:-). Good try. Well, anybody can hide their number using the *67 !!
Ask Donna. It went on her Bright Future Jobs email list, not on the site. It's supposed to be a secret call of the Antis.
I have been fighting the Anti-immigrant propaganda for a long time, okay? Just because I created a new nym to hide my actual identity doesn't mean what I post is untrue.
Of course, unless you are trying to divert people. :-). You took all the trouble of creating a new ID to denounce this? Surprising.
By the way, folks. The number is not a private number. I did a google search on the number, and looks like it's used by a lot of people for hosting conference calls. Probably some kind of service.

Your statement is is not only false, but also naive. How can you say that, "most people fake their experience?" Do you have any prove or evidence? Do you know "most" of the people. A very strange message, I have to admit.

I think you are right. EB3 india might be stuck for very long time. Remember all the 2001 DOL backlog cases from NY, NJ and CA? And how long BEC took to clear them? They are all waiting to get into the EB queue.
In the previous month, EB3-INDIA date was April22nd,2001. Now it moved to May8th2001. Now, the people with PD's from April22rd2001 to May7th2001 are eligible to apply or ready for adjudication of 485. That means, probably, there are lot of 485(245i) cases to be adjudicated? What do you all think?
Thanks.

the best way to get more support is to be more inclusive .... what I mean is 1) either we have a parallel campaign for those who are on EAD's only 2) add EAD issue to this campaign too.
------------ on a side note, I wonder what the effect would be if we were to have a campaign saying that we may end up walking away from our homes (jingle keys) because of visa delays / denials ??
btw ..it is still not late to link immigration delays to housing ..see the latest article below from Reuters
... by demand it means new buyers and immigrants are big part of that !!

Housing Sales Lackluster This Spring: Coldwell
This year's peak home-buying season was lackluster, as buyers seeking to trade up to larger houses were absent, said the head of one of the country's largest real estate firms.
Jim Gillespie, president and chief executive of Coldwell Banker Real Estate, in an interview with Reuters, said sales were only modest during the spring, with demand overwhelmingly dominated by first-time home buyers and investors.
AP
"The more important 'move-up' buyers were absent and that is not encouraging," said Gillespie, who is based in Parsippany, New Jersey.
Move-up buyers are those seeking to trade in their current home for a larger one, and Gillespie said that group is important for sustaining a healthy real estate market.
Because of the sharp decline in housing prices and the collapse in consumer demand, homeowners are having difficulty selling their current homes to move up to pricier properties.
"They are key to a U.S. housing market recovery," he said. Gillespie said some of this lack of demand could be alleviated through more incentives. He recently met with U.S.
Congressional leaders to discuss housing, and said he supports a bill currently in the Senate calling for a $15,000 tax credit for all buyers of primary residences, with no income limit, for a period of 12 months.
The current $8,000 tax credit, first passed in February as part of a $787 billion fiscal stimulus plan, is limited to first-time home buyers and expires at the end of November. The proposed plan would expand eligibility to all home buyers and increase the credit to $15,000.
The U.S. housing market is in the midst of its worst downturn since the Great Depression. Home prices have been falling since peaking in the second quarter of 2006, and the Obama Administration has tried various measures to restore that market through tax benefits and temporary halts to foreclosures.
"Congress is focusing on the foreclosure problem, which is a good thing, but they need to focus more on the demand side," he said. Gillespie said market realities have come to bear as well.
"Many people got spoiled by mortgage rates at 5 percent and below," he said. "When the mortgage rate rose above 5 percent, it spooked many buyers who were already hesitant," he said.

Sometimes in your life you make bad decisions. It happened unfortunately, because my PD is June 2004 EB2 and when dates became current last year, I thought it needs to move just 3 months to have my date current and as per DOS release there were only 3400 visas in EB2 for 2004.
Unluckily I chose for CP instead of 485 and now lying in a dark well.
Anyway please don't sympathize, I'll certainly come out of this situation very soon.
Pls check with your lawyer if you can change to AOS from CP... Then you'll be entitled for all the AOS benefits.. I know few of my friends did filed for CP instead of AOS and maintained their H1/H4 status... So no choice is good or bad.. it keeps changing :-)
Since AOS can convert to CP.. I think it should be possible otherway too...
