gotgreen's Immigration Cases

The painful effects of the economy has a impact us. My spouse got laid off from the job. I am thinking of applying of unemployment benefits for her. I am the primary applicant and our GC was approved last month (phew...)

Any downside to applying for unemployment benefits when we apply for Citizenship later?

Thanks guys...

LOL!!!!! Man...................

But I Guess we are all adults here

I guess they are 'low hanging fruits' and I they are going for that......

loudobbs,
Can you please throw some light on your two 140s? like when did you file them and when they got approved etc?

thanks.

My first I 140 was filed in 2005 and approved in Aug 2006. second one (EB2 was applied in May 2007) PP and was approved in sept 2007.

loudobbs,

When you requested to link second EB2 140, did you receive any LUD on your 485?

How long it took for you to get approval after that?

FYI: I just saw soft LUD on my 485. as IO told me that she will link my second 140 to the file.

I am not sure what should i do next?

i already applied EAD renewal on 04/2/2008 and it is with NSC. My 485 is with TSC.

Can you please share your thoughts on my situation?

I did not formally request them to link my 2 nd I140 to my case. When my 485 was filed, it was filed with a copy of the receipt notice of my second I140. When the IO checked on my I 140 case on his computer, he was able to see both I140s attached to my case. I was just guessing that the EAD renewal triggered the IO to look at my case... I hope an IO would look at your case soon enough so that you get approved before they run out of visa numbers. Good luck....

Just wait... :-) you cant do much can you?? If you applied for EAD try applying for renewal to get their attention to your case....

Honestly I think nothing else worked for me including Speaking to an IO or even INFOPASS...

You are right. My EAD renewal may trigger their attention but since I'm working on EAD now, I had no other option.

You know very well that this entire Immigration Process is such a mess and needs luck at every step. There are people who get approved without a single RFE quickly and the unlucky ones get stuck for no good reason for years.

If and when I get my GC, I'm going to get on my knees and thank God. Even if I am in OFFICE !!

By the way, I almost wasn't going to answer you, looking at your id ;-)

True and luck or divine interference, whatever you want to call plays a big part too.....

I was told by my lawyer not to send any letter unless asked for. Otherwise it would get lost in the pile of papers. If they send a RFE then the letter (response) would be properly linked to the case or else tt would be difficult to link the letter correctly to the case.

I chnaged jobs in March using AC 21 and I got approved on 8 th May. I did not send any letter nor did I inform USCSIS about the change. I had actually applied for my EAD renewal 3 weeks ago. This may have prompted them to look at my 485 case. Acutally, My EAD renewal got denied 5 days after my GCapproval!

loudobbs,

i am in the same boat converting from eb3 to eb2 and they didnot consider my app so far.

did you do anything apart from adding a letter while submitting I485?

thanks in advance.

My Attorney had filed my 485 with a copy the receipt notice of the EB2 485. We did not send any letter. You can TSC and ask them about it.. or may be infopass. The IOs have more more info than we think. They are just too lazy to look. For eg. I got luckly 3 weeks ago. I called TSC one time, and the IO said my I 140 was revoked. I told him that I have a second EB2 I40 he checked his computer and he said he would send my case to supervisor.

it is still pending.

Thanks guys. I has cautiously hopeful because I am a July 2 nd filer and I had changed jobs. My sponsoring employer did not revoke my I140 and I was able to retain my company lawyer to handle my case.
had some tense moments when the attorneys filed my case under EB3 instead of EB2. The refiled I 140 under EB2 nad revoked the EB3 one, but I was not sure if my case would be considered an EB2 case or EB3.

Anyway, my prayers were answered....

Hi All
I just Card Production ordered Email for me and my wife. I had submitted my application for EAD renewal on Apr 25 th. Did that trigger my case review? I dont know...

Best wishes to all and thanks everyone for you support....

We need to get rid of this guy. He is not adding any value here and always has some rude or racist comments.... dumb aussie.....

You guys talking about me again???

I reused the same labor.

I called TSC this morning and spoke to an IO. he looked at my case and asked me about the I140 that was revoked. Told him thst that the first I140 was applied incorrectly under EB3 and that a new I140 was applied for and approved under EB2. He took another look and siad he would forward my case to his supervisor and I should hear back within 30 days. Not sure what that meant. I did not want to ask him beacuse he started off the whole coversation by saying asking me why I was calling since my case is pending less than a year!!!!

He did say that NC was cleared and everthinh else look OK......

Any thoughts what the IO meant? any similar experiences?

1) Can I change my job from IT consulting to software/product company with similar job description?
2) Can I change my job from IT consulting to financal/banking with similar job description?

Or is it safer to only look for IT consulting jobs?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. Please don't point me to AC21 FAQ thread; I have read it several times and it doesn't answer this question.

Please DONT lok at the AC21 FAQ thread.....

Even though job responsibilities look similar, one aspect you need to be sure of is : switching between supervisory/non supervisory roles. Its a big NO if thats the case.

If you manage a team under current job and will manage a team in the new job, that would work fine. The term "Manager" in the job you intend taking is the only thing i would be concerned of.

I am not sure if that would matter but I will ask the attorney tomorrow. The DOL classification under which my job title falls under, states responsibilities which include managing people and I did manage people in the past in the current position but after restructuring, I dont directly manage people but the new position does include resp of managing people.
