Wow it almost sounds like attaining Nirvana (moksha). May be USCIS/DOS/DHS/Us Govt should name it as Nirvana Card.
Sometimes question might be very simple, but there could be deep meaning associated with that. I think every one in this forum understands what is the meaning of GC. So the question seemed to me of more philosophical in nature.
One of the best example of this type of question about an elephant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blind_Men_and_an_Elephant). Almost every one knows what is an elephant, how a blind man perceives is explained in that URL.
This is like a question what is project success?
- For investor/owner, it is money
- For management, it is successful completion perhaps in time and in budget
- For engineer, it is promotion, recognition and sometimes rewards
Similarly GC stands simply for Green Card (in our context), but for different people, it can have different meaning:
- Worst case a guy gets GC just one day before marriage - forcing seperations for years
- Best case - perhaps freedom from slavery

Guys: One way to get involved is to find Congressional candidates (especially Republicans) and educate them. If you really want to push them along, ask can you help with their campaign.
For example, Eddie Adams in the Tampa Bay Area, is more open to discussion than the current incumbent. And, if he can be found open to backing legislation to expedite the Green Card process; then this movement has a new friend.
He is certainly (like most Republicans) no friend of illegal immigration. But, he might be open to pressuring the USCIS to move the legal immigration applications along.

Why would you need an EVL from your new employer or inform the USCIS of your job change, in this case? AC21 does not require you to "file AC21" (whatever that means), contrary to what has been advised in this forum many times. Please Google "Yates memo;" see, e.g., http://www.shusterman.com/pdf/ac21-51205.pdf. Here are my attorney's comments in this regard:
"AC21 is the name of the immigration act that allowed portability for those who have an approved I-140 and I-485 pending over 180 days. There are no regulations for this provision therefore no instructions regarding notification so there is no actual action to "invoke AC21". The Service will sometimes send out an RFE just prior to approving an I-485 to request confirmation that the individual is either still employed by the sponsoring employer or if not, that he/she was portable when changing positions which is evidenced by a letter from the new employer."
I don't think you should request any thing from your new employer other than a job offer. You need an EVL *only* in case of an RFE. And no need to "file AC21!"
with the lack of regulation on AC 21 law, each attorney's take different position when it comes to handling AC 21 cases, in my case the primary reason driven to file AC 21 is the small window of period available in getting I 485 adjudicated when the PD is current, so I don't want to loose time when the PD is current and get an RFE from USCIS and running back and forth to get the RFE responded before loosing PD, more over I took the 20 minute counselling with Murthy law firm and they advised to notify USCIS about employer change.Later I was fortunate that USCIS did not issue RFE(may be it helped USCIS by notifying them in advance and clear their doubt) and approve my I 485 when PD was current.
Cheers

I have a priority date of March 2004 (EB2 India) and I am still waiting for my Green Card. I think majority of the 2004 filers are in the same boat except for a lucky few who were able to get the green card after the July fiasco.
So don't buildup your hopes too high. I firmly beleive that very soon there will be a repeat of what we saw last year in July and the green cards will be distributed once again out of order.
So if you are one of those luck ones, you might get it.
Good Luck!!
You must have applied for I-485 after july 1st, correct?

Seriously, is this a prank? If you have a 200k job why would you want to think of IT? IT jobs start paying in that range once you become a director of some kind. Are you ready to take a hit of 80 K because you hate your job?
You need to tell us a little more of your background i.e. education, industry, years of experience, what is the frustrating? May be you are just tired of having a job in the first place?
Hi All,
I have come to this forum to ask for some advise because this is one of the forums where lot of the visitors are engineers, and most of them work in computers related fields.
I have a stable job( non-engineering) and I am making a decent salary(more than 200K/year) right now but I just hate my job.I desperatly want to change my field.
I am hoping to get my green card next year( PD 06/2004 NSC EB 2 India).I need your advise on how to get into computer/software/IT field.
I do not have an engineering background but am willing to go back to school. I would like to start working on this transition while I wait for my GC.
My questions are -
1- Is there a shortcut of getting into any computer/software or related field ?training,short courses, anything!
2- If I have to go back to school what major will I need to take? Any specific requirements?
3-I have a bachelors but not in engineering- can I go straight for a MS in a computer related field or will I have to do a bachelors in Computers first.
4-How's the current job market and and also if you have any idea/view about future job scenario?
5-Have any of you made/seen such a transition at my stage?- I am 35, married with working spouse.
6-Also if somebody can give an idea about salaries in computer related fields?
Have a good day guys and thank you in advance for your views.

There should be a way to appeal. Talk to your employer and attorney and get their advice. Until you get the paper/reason for denial, you may not get solid advice. But in the mean while, get all the documents ready, like pay stubs, tax docs, client letter, contract docs, etc... That way you will have all needed docs in hand and can appeal the denial as soon as you get the denial reason.
Are you working full-time or consulting? If it is consulting, then may the latest employer-employee relationship memo played its role.
Key is stay calm and consider every possible way. Your fellow IV-ians here can feel the pain that you go through. We wish your issue gets resolved quickly.

I think sertasheep put it right. For Indian MBBS, US trained docs the best options outside US are the middle east, Dubai in particular, and India. In India Appolo and Escorts hire foreign trained docs but remember India also does not recognize US PG degree so they cannot work in Govt hospitals but they can always open their own shop just on the basis of MBBS and boldly put US degree on the big board. India is truly the land of the free in this respect. You cannot even imagine doing this in US or any other developed country.
But do not write off Canada just yet because there are still some jobs there for physicians and it's not as if US trained docs are not allowed at all. Canada is worth giving a shot but Australia, New Zealand, UK, etc. are all closed and dead options for a variety of reasons ranging from licensing process, immigration process, very few training positions, very scarce medical jobs, racism, discrimination etc. Middle East has it's own issues specially if you are not a Muslim although Dubai is quite modern and welcoming but kids will be influenced and politics there is also quite nauseating. That just leaves you with India and you already know the ins and outs of it.

You can work on h1b - you will get H1b based on existing approved 140 and pending 485.
If 140 is revoked by employer you may get a RFE or NOID or in rare cases erroneous denial but you can continue on h1b while you respond to RFE or NOID oor through MTR to erroneous denial.
Sending AC21 docs does not necessarily mean you may not get NOID - AC21 docs seldom go into your file.

Hello
Case details
--Lay off with Employer A happened in April and I was without a job for a couple of months
--I have a valid Visa with employer A until April 2010.
--Finally found a job as a consultant, employer B applied for my H1B.
--RFE has been answered with sufficient documents and awaiting a response.
Question
I read/hear that since there is a 2 month period with no paystubs, I might get an approval for I-797 but without I-94. In such a case what actions should be taken.
Please advice.
Thanks!
For respond for the RFE...if they are asking for paystub and if you are not able to provide the same, they will deny the H1B. In that case you need to leave the country. If they are giving without I-94. Need to go out of the country, get stamping and come back.
