Topic: Green card chances for derivative applicants when the principal dies

if its family based gc, i think , the principal can nominate his family on his petition while alive. If its employment based gc, if anything happens to derivative, the AOS invalidates for family members, if i am not wrong in my understanding. The GC process is for future employment and if principal is no more, there is no future employment. So EAD and I485 would hold no value then, since EAD is provided for period during adjustment of status. I am not a lawyer , so please consult a lawyer for confirmation. this is my understanding . i can be wrong. hence its recommendable for derivative to maintain h1 status if he/she has h1 visa. in case anything goes wrong with principal spouse, they can continue to maintain their life here and dont have to run to homecountry overnight along with all other pain they already be going thru coz of loss of life of spouse. However spouse can convert her visa into visitor visa to wind up all matters and collectibles in US, before she has to leave for her home country. Its difficult to go through all timely paperwork in this scenario and state of mind of derivative but it can help maintain status and wind up all matters here according to laws. please let us know how immigration officer considers this case and what is output. also let us know if its family based gc or employment based.

Topic: Clearly visible - 90% AC21 facing denial issues

MasterGee, you sound right. And for other people, m not scaring others. I am myself scared. And somebody said here 99% threads on AC21 problem here are from those people who got 485 denial and those who got their GC after AC21 doesnt post here. They may be true. I will appreciate more views on AC21 people.

Topic: Clearly visible - 90% AC21 facing denial issues

Hi

It is not my "researched" number. Its my analysis after reading forums on AC21. I can be wrong. And thats why i said initially, people plz pour your views. I have read a lot of panic filled threads from people who are going through proper attorney on AC21 and still getting i485 denials. I asked murthy and they said that there are mistakes going on while processing AC21 and they do help in filing MTR. So i wanted more feedback from people. Because i dont want to get into MTR related stress. i want it to go straight and peaceful for me. So i needed more feedback from people.

Topic: Clearly visible - 90% AC21 facing denial issues

FSMLV , thats what i am saying. those who are changing jobs using AC21, their i140s are revoked by previous employer, creating an example for others, not to leave the company. There is still dependency on previous employer even after AC21 usage, and any such dependency puts immigration process in jeopardy for the person. There are ways to fight everything in life, but does one have the time and money to spend endlessly on immgration, along with a job and family to take care of ? Regular life is already so demanding, for how long can one keep managing these immigration hastles. Just the desire was , that the process could have been more straight forward and less complicated, and very less employer-dependency oriented.

Topic: Clearly visible - 90% AC21 facing denial issues

everyone wants to stick to ones job. One changes in only in scenarios when it gets unbearable to continue with current employer.

very few ppl would jump for better offer. as per as i understand, ppl change job only in crucial scenarios. because any change directly impacts immigration. what do you all say.

Topic: Clearly visible - 90% AC21 facing denial issues

but i think employers are making it a point to revoke i140 in case the person leaves, so that others dont leave out of fear. I think, once approved, employer should not be able to revoke i140. , in case the person is eligible to use AC21 and has offer letter from another company. Here employer revokes i140 and person who has used AC21 is back to zero. So AC21 in effect doesnt seem to be providing the liberty to change the company, as one is still bound by old employer and has dependency on his approved i140.

Topic: Clearly visible - 90% AC21 facing denial issues

As i am tracking 485 processing forum, as per as what i remember, 90% of AC21 are facing denial issues. All these people are those who have been in US for 4 years or more, have good experience here. Its strange these people might have to go back and new H1s are going to come.

AC21 denial leads to following probs:
1) First and foremost is panic and lose of hope that one has had waiting all the years for gc approval
2) Lawyer expenses shoot overnight.
3) Dont know MTR expenses with USCIS.

Its sad and very difficult. AC21 doesnt seem to be working good enuff even if one approaches lawyer for proper documentation.

People are really going through a lot, especially immigrants have expenses to justify their situation to immigration by having to approach lawyers now and then.

People, please post your ideas and views.
