Inspite of telling my lawyer she did the mistake of sending my EAD and AP before 120 day period. EAD filed 121 days prior and AP filed 148 days prior. I have gotten the receipts of both but AP status says that they have requested more information/evidence. I am wondering what additional information they need. Anyone else in this situation ?

STAmisha,
My lawyer has initiated conversion of my TR case to a RIR. As per the FAQ provided by him, provided that the job duities and title is the same; he will get a prevaling wage determination from the SWA (this is the stage where I am right now), next he would post the ads for 10 days.... and continue with the regular recruiting procedure as per the RIR rules.
As per his estimate he would be able to file the RIR conversion request (with the recruitment data) to the Philly BEC in 2-3 weeks.
If you want I can e-mail his deatiled FAQ to you.

I was under the impression you could apply for PR from and L1A, I am confused with your reply, why can we not apply for PR from an L1A? If the processing times are shorter then maybe it could be processed before our visa expiration.
Your can apply for PR while in L-1A status, however if the L-1A expires before you have reached the 3rd step, you need to leave the US. That's why it would have been better to change to H-1B, so that the nonimmigrant status could be extended while the PR process was pending. Even if he is EB-2, it will take at least a year, and much longer if you and your husband were born in or China, before you can file the 3rd step.

Even though it cost you, I would prefer to keep one's own attorney.
If not, you are repeating the same old story. What if you plan to move from this second employer...
So, please find your own attorney. All that you need from new employer is offer letter and he is filing h1b with the same job title.
Good luck.
Can I invoke AC21 by using H1-B transfer?

Given how soon (after the layoff) the soft LUDs appeared, it is highly unlikely that they had anything to do with the layoff, unless your employer revoked the 140 a few days/weeks in advance given the impending layoff.
I haven't heard of companies doing that but you never know.
Like someone else suggested, getting a new attorney to submit G-28N is probably a good idea.
If I were you, I would do the following.
1. Call the old employer's attorney and check if the 140 was revoked, or if it is going to be revoked.
2. If the answer to the above is no, check with the attorney if they are willing to forward any future USCIS correspondence to you.
3. If the answer to #2 is 'No', get a new attorney to do a G-28N as soon as possible, and then look for a new job that qualifies for AC-21 benefits.
4. If the answer to #2 is 'Yes', then you don't need to do a G-28N right away, and could do it after you start the new job. This is just in case if the new company's attorneys require you to do a G-28N through them.
Good luck. Keep us posted.

IV core shud approach republicans who are saying no amnesty to law breakers.
Let us approach them and convince them to bring amendments to reward law abiding people like us.
Americans want immigrants like yourself who follow the rules and contribute to American society; it is our valued tradition. What we don't want is illegals walking all over our laws. The illegals hurt lawfull immigrants. I married an immigrant who followed the rules, she's very bitter over the way this country is pandering to the Hispanic Reconquista crowd. Americans don't want the amnesty, but the government is pushing for it. Legal immigrants and applicants, IMO, should stand up and be heard to fight anmesty as well.

If you have a valid I-797 document that shows the validity of your H1B visa, I believe you should not have a problem. Also,check with your lawyer about the same.
Since your I-485 will not get processed until your priority date is current, Once your wife is here on H4B, can you apply for her EAD? I'm in same boat as you but not yet married.

I have an appointment on August 11th in chennai consulate and I am flying tomorrow to India to submit my documents to VFS.
Can any one tell when will the visa number assigned to the CP case?
The reason I am asking is because I am little worried if the date gets moved back after 1st week of august (From last year July fiasco experience) or some thing and I will be in India already, then I will be in big trouble.
Any insight would be appreciated.
I am curious to know why you opted for CP, since you are already present in the US. I am in a dilemma wrt CP or AOS. Thanks!

my wife's case was little different, Most of the time they(SSN office staff) don't know the procedure. It happned to my wife who entered US on H1B and we went to SSN office 3rd day after her arrival. The representative told us to wait 2 weeks and then apply as shw can't pull the data, we went very next day and told that we have called the office and they said there is no such rule to wait, the representative should accept your application immidiately. the lady took our application and guess what - less than 2 weeks we received SSN card for my wife.
My wife's H1 got approved & it is valid from October Ist. When she went to Social Security Office today 9/30 - they denied saying they can't pull up her information in their system (from INS) & hence they can't issue the SSN.
She was carrying her I-797 approval (along with I-94).
Anyone else faced a similar situation ? Any suggestions.

VB will come today.
I am going to ask my lawyer why it is late. It is is generally on Fridays in the first week on the month.
We should hope for a good VB as it is delayed. If it was copy paste, it would have come out sooner.

I just read this article in the paper today and wanted to share it with all of you.
It seems the general media has an impression that this CIR bill is a boon for the legal, skillled immigrant population, now we all know how true that is.
No one it seems has bothered to did deep enough to find out about the true perils of this bill, from the legal immigrants standpoint. That is where we need to also focus our resources.
I truly think that the conservative commentators who write on the op-ed pages of Washington Post, New York Times a and WSJ are our best bets in these tough times. Believe it or not, in the last few days I have read more than a few articles where they have addressed the new bill and have come out in support of legal, skilled immigrants rather than the liberals who are all gung-ho for the the low skilled population and care too much about still preserving family ties and encouraging chain migration. If we were to email something to say, George Will, Charles Krauthammer (I truly despise this right wing nut, but still) or even Robert Novak, there is a good chance they will address this issue.
I think we should develop a stinging rebuke (i know we already have, but this will be a very, very simpler version without all the clause quotations and targeted directly to the laymen), in the form of an Op-Ed piece that addresses in a point-by-point basis some of the most unfavorable provisions that this bill is littered with and also address the misinformation that is being spread suggesting that all of us legal skilled immigrants are going to come out way ahead once this bill passes.
I think we have a very good chance getting it published in one of these papers and it will have a huge impact.
This truly is make or break point for us and thanks everyone for doing their part. I just hope our lobbyists are aware of this predicament and that how damaging it will be to our interests if this bill passes.
Btw, just saw this poll/article on NYT about how most Americans are in favor of the guest worker program and legalizing illegals.

Thanks for the insight guys!
What if you donot apply and you donot get EAD by Jan 08, you can still stay legally but wont be able to work without EAD.I will still be able to work if I have my H1B extension, right?
Check with your lawyer. Extension beyond 6 yrs is not available if you are eligible to apply for I485. If you are not able to apply for 485 because of retrogression, you can extend your H1 beyond 6 yrs (of course, it doesnt apply to you).Well, if I checked with the lawyer, I wouldn't be here, would I? :) I did not really understand your point. What if my I-140 is being processed and it takes them a hole lot of time for that and my legal status is expiring -- what am I supposed to do in that situation?

It needs action - not talk.
Many a times employer create a position that requires just Bachelor's degree, BUT a Bachelor's person can't really do that job. Eventually a Master's person (or B.S. + 5 yr experience) fills that up, not knowing that he will be shoved in EB3.
Is it the employer's responsibility to consider in which Green Card Category the employee will fall in future before puts ad.?
Bachelor degree would be enough to do the job if EB3 has a PD around 2005/2006/Current.

Looking forward to hear suggestions.
