There are many people from these Indian Outsourcing companies who are switching to US comanies or even to local desi bodyshopping companies for various reasons...Like the ones below
1) If you are in US onsite, there is no guarantee that you would be onsite for the prolonged period you want. When the business need arises, you will have to go back at short notice. Most of the people quit these companies in US due to that reason alone.
2) They don't process GCs in general (very limited cases....)
3) Chances are that one may make more money based on the skill-set
However, if people continue to believe that these companies are just sort of "glorified body shoppers", nothing stops them.
But outsourcing is increasingly preferred by US corporates & these outsourcing companies are only going to prosper.....
Just the fact that you make more money outside is a proof of underpay.
also I read few months back that out of some 70K SWITCH ppl in usa, they filed GC for less than 100 employees. Do you think only 100 out of some 70K H1B wanted GC??? Another proof that they do not want their employees to move ahead.
Any way you argue, the truth is SWITCH is a glorified bodyshopper.
and that too glorified in india by indian media, not by US media.

what happens if I had interfiled with a new I-140 EB2 (currently pending) and now my original approved I-140 EB3 became current?
Will USCIS adjudicate based on either I-140?

I am the primary applicant. I am planning to get married in next 1 year or so with a girl from India. If I get my GC then she will fall under family based which will take years for her to come here. I do not mind moving back if that happens.
Since I have valid H1 can I do something,
There is no reason for you to pull out your 485. Get your divorce expedited and get married quickly and you should be OK as EB3 India is not really moving forward unless there is a visa recapture or something like that.
Your spouse will of course lose her 485 and will have to start afresh. But I assume she already knows this and is OK with that.

Customer service opened SR and sent to local office. Got letter from DHS (3 weeks back)that they researched case and are actively processing it, also if I dont get any correspondence with in 180 days contact them.
Till date I did not get any letter saying that case has opened. Will it help if I take Infopass and go to local office. Please advice.
Interesting. Talk to congressman and senator - talk to IV - IV also helps in these situations.

I am not advising anyone anything, I just shared what I did. This time , I did not go through a lawyer.
Something similar happened in Oct'05 and the priority dates remain retrogressed for next almost two year. It was just by stroke of fate it became current now , otherwise the situtation would have persisted.
If my memory serve me right, there were some cases back in Oct'05 whose application were rejected in error but were not allow to refile as PD had retrogressed.
Do what you want to do, I am just sharing what I did and I may be wrong. Personally after having missed one window of opportunity in Oct'05 , I have no capability to take any more risk.
I'm also suffering like you for years but doing a RE-FILE just for managing bad odds is not reasonable. If they reject your application - You should be able to resend it from FEDEX/USPS signature and receipt Notice even after Aug 17th.
I'm not a lawyer and i've nothing against Rajaiv Khanna but on a general i'm advising you that " Any lawyer wants their clients case get complicated and convoluted". By doing this you/we are just complicating our case and offering "Money making" potential to already Rich , Wealthy ,Cut throat Lawyers.
Don't you agree ?

Q : Must an H-1B alien be working at all times?
As long as the employer/employee relationship exists, an H-1B alien is still in status. An H-1B alien may work in full or part-time employment and remain in status. An H-1B alien may also be on vacation, sick/maternity/paternity leave, on strike, or otherwise inactive without affecting his or her status.
Check this.

As long as the employer/employee relationship exists, nobody can't do anything. This is for sure.
It is not so easy.
Please refer to these posts from UnitedNations on this :

Honestly; uscis/dos don't care much for this. Maternity is a pretty good reason and is verifiable.
Other then that; department of state; uscis don't care for it much. They have enough data on companies that if it happened to a person in one quarter then ok. However, if there are a number of people who fit the profile then it gives less credibility.
I'll give you an example: DOL comes to investigate a particular person whom DOS has referred. Now; they go through the whole list of people (they actually do this); and see that every person who arrived into the country was on bench for three months...gives less credibility to the person's argument.

How was the response? I have contacted the following " The Hindu, Deccan chronicle and some telugu and kannada newspapers and TV news channels" so far no responses, I am planning to speak to my dad and his friends (they retired from the news media recently) to get some responses, but whats the point. The July 2nd fiasco was very well publicized in India, rural India too, even a small village or mandal office issuing birth certificates knew abt the visa bulletin and its reversal!!! and what do we have now...non committal friends who are not interested to come to the rally and some even make fun of it!!
Anyways lets keep trying...
Its useless... How many senators, their voters or other decision makers watch those kannada, telugu or even rediff???
Try to contact FOX, CNN, ABC etc.. that will be helpfull.

The Telugu news channels certainly dramatize the issue and blow up the story. I sympathize with the students and their parents for the difficult time that they are facing. But, these students are not being tortured like criminals and terrorists.
I believe these students were questioned by the USCIS and released on bail. Because these students are required to give evidence against Tri-Valley, they are released on bail after questioning. They pose a risk of flight and hence they are radio tagged.
If these students were attending classes like thousands of F1 students across the country when the university was shut down, they do not have anything to worry about. They can leave the country or transfer to a different university. If they were legally working as interns in positions that are allowed by the CPT, they still have nothing to worry about.
If these students were working at gas stations and convenience stores across the country instead of attending classes, they have broken the law. They are liable for prosecution. CPT is intended to complement your education with practical training. Working at gas stations and convenience stores does not qualify for CPT. For almost all disciplines except IT & software engineering, working for software consultants on CPT is illegal.
These students bring F1 program and Indians into disrepute. Incidents like this also give ammunition to anti-immigration lobby in this country.

Great! Everyone is paying me for the stamps and sending letters.
Cheers! I urge everyone do this to their respective work location. It is working like magic! Believe me!

I would not call you pessimistic. You are SELFISH. Sure you do not share the same enthu because this announcement does not offer you anything. Grow up and feel for others. Everyone knows that there will be a backlog and that is an issue we have to deal with once we get there.
I wont even get in a pissing match with you. YOu are free to believe what ever you want.
if you read my post you will see my concern is about the system not working.
I can make a similar argument about you and others. You are so concerned about your benefit today, that you dont see the harm it may do to H1b holders and future candidates for I-485.
If it makes you feel good you can fly to washington and thank them for the blessings after the announcement. So whatever makes your boat floats...

Yeah that sucks. I have a 2004 PD as well but was lucky to get out of PBEC in Jan 2007 and was able to apply for 485 in July.
I feel for people like you who have older PDs (2001 to 2004) and missed the July-Aug window.
It is unfair that some people with recent PDs (even 2007 PDs) got to apply for 485.
Hope something works out for all old timers.
Same situation here too. My husband came to this country in 1999. Filed for greencard in 2004. Labor was sent to philly BEC and it got cleared in September 2007 so we too missed the window too. Not sure what to do

Ok, I've seen a lot of threads about go to the rally, actions items, I've reading a lot of guys saying dont ask for your receipt status, dont waste your time etc, etc.
Yes we did the rally we were great with all those signs, and appearing in the Indy TV but...
Question remains open:
1. When are they going to increase the GC quota?
2. When congress id going to do something?
I've the feeling that that's it we made our point but we are still with no GC, waiting receipts..............
Anna 35: You are not serious are you?? You wanted to hand out IV Rally fliers to Congressmen and them to hand you out your greencard.??
Its hardly 24 hours since the rally is over..

Good point. You are absolutely right, help_please. S.774 is the original DREAM Act which did not distinguish between legals and illegals. But it never went anywhere. The DREAM Act that was part of CIR specifically made it applicable to only holders of Z visa. Please refer to S.1639 on the same site and look at Sec 612-620.
We do not know which version is being introduced now. The way things are going in Congress, I would not be very surprised if they make it applicable to only undocumented.
http://thomas.loc.gov/
Please visit this site and search for bill # s. 774. This bill does not specify that you must be illegal to qualify.
