Mine too is LC substitution case.
EB3-India-NSC-140- PD:April, 2004 - ND: 05/08/2007
Last LUD: 05/21/2007
Mine is a labor substitution filing and 140 is filed in TSC in April-2007. This case is transferred from TSC to NSC in Nov-2007. There are no LUDs after that. I have seen similar cases transferrred in November. Did anyone receive an approval/LUD in such cases ?

Hi,
I changed job (new position start day is today) - and am struggling to decide whether to send or not send AC21 letter. Got the documentation from new employer but not sure whether to send it or not. For now decided to send just the G-28 form (change of attorney) immediately to get any info from USCIS to my lawyer. If I decide to send AC21 letter later - say after couple months - can we do that? (I mean sending AC21 letter 2/3 months after changing the job) - is this effective/advisable?
I am thinking on these lines because I am not sure what my old employer would do with approved I140. I left on good terms with immediate managers - but its a very big organization and the official HR policy simply says that "they would follow attorney's guidelines - and will abide by whatever USCIS rule in deciding future course in case an employee leaves midway thru greencard process". Those are exact words and there is no other explanation.
Anyone in similar situation and what are you doing please share - I need to complete this (atleast G-28 in a day or two). Thanks

Thank you wandmaker. This helps.
- But can a person be unemployed before the 180 days elapse? What happens if person is unable to find a job before 180 days?
- Also, per your information - can the person find a new job, change H1s and then wait for 180 days to send in a letter to USCIS?
The whole GC process is based on future employment which your employer undertook to give you on your getting GC. If your employer (who let you go) is still committed to that, you are fine, but that is unlikely. Best is just do nothing until 180 days pass, except finding another employer (no problem if you are unemployed in between) who is prepared to offer you same/similar job. Once 180+ days pass, you are ok provided your I-140 was already approved or is approvable. You may want to read bulletins on the subject USCIS has issued time to time.
Yes, you can wait for 180 days before telling USCIS about your new same/similar job. You don't need to change H1, just use EAD.

Interesting comment on one of old BusinessWeek articles.It strongly highlights power an employer holds over H1-B employee.
http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/blog/bangaloretigers/archives/2006/11/us_software_tal.html
"'m not at all surprised that the first few comments on this post have been very skeptical of the skills shortage.
No matter how you feel about the alleged shortage, you have to acknowledge that the H1B gives the employer a remarkable amount of power over the employee's life. The employer bestows the right to live in the United States upon the employee, and often sponsers the employee's application for a green card. Changing employers is not impossible, but it is tricky and perilous.
As an American, I can quit my job and become a contractor. An H1B can't. If my girlfriend decides to move across the country for a new job, I can quit my old job and go with her. An H1B can't. If I decide I'm tired of programming, I can quit and apply to law school. An H1B can't. And, most importantly, if I think I'm talented and should earn well above market rate, I can go into my boss's office and negotiate with the knowledge that I'm free to find a better deal elsewhere. An H1B can't - unless, of course, he's willing to give up on his wait for a green card and return to his country of origin and start all over again.
While I'm not a protectionist in any way, I view the indenturedness of the H1B visa as an affront to everything America claims it believes about human and economic freedoms. No employer should ever have this kind of power over an employee.
Congress is perfectly capably of creating an employment category for foreign nationals that preserves freedom for the engineer who comes to America. They still haven't. Why? Well, the most likely explanation is that the corporations who lobby for this visa *enjoy* this power over engineers. And this, in turn, leads to work conditions that drive America's best and brightest away, into careers in law, medicine, finance, and so forth, exacerbating the very shortage that the visa was designed to address.
Unlike some of the posters here, I'm ok with the existence of skilled worker visas. But any increase should be off the table until basic human and economic freedoms are preserved for the worker. In America, you have the right to quit your job. Period. "

Hi,
My wife is stuck in Bangalore right now, as she was give a 221(g) pink slip on the 16th of Jan, 08. She's actually at school, with about 7-8 months left for graduation. She's getting a Phd in Molecular Biology. Spring semester has already begun, and she's missing a lot of research, and teaching.
When is a good time to contact the consulate? Many 221(g) cases even after her interview date have been cleared. I wonder what the hold up is.
Also, can you please elaborate on the PIMS and Security Clearance issue?

The Department of State (DOS) has issued a regulation that broadens the authority of consular officers to revoke a visa at any time subsequent to issuance of the visa, including when the individual is already in the U.S. Additionally, the regulation allows consular officers and designated officials within DOS to revoke a visa provisionally while considering a final visa revocation.
This rule is effective April 27, 2011. DOS did not issue the regulation through notice and comment rulemaking on the basis that it involves a foreign affairs function of the United States and, therefore, is exempt from those procedures.
Pursuant to section 221(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), DOS may determine that a visa should be revoked when information reveals that the applicant was originally, or has since become, ineligible or may be ineligible to possess a U.S. visa. In testimony before Congress in 2004, DOS stated that it had revoked 1,250 visas since September 11, 2001, based on information suggesting possible terrorist activities or links. Congress and the Government Accountability Office (GAO) have put pressure on DOS and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to improve their policies regarding visa revocations.
If DOS revokes an individual�s visa, the information will be uploaded into the Consular Lookout and Support System (CLASS) database and the foreign national may not use the visa for travel to the U.S. Though DOS will seek to notify the traveler, the revocation is effective irrespective of whether the foreign traveler knows about the revocation.
Separately, the INA allows the government to remove (i.e. deport) an individual whose nonimmigrant visa has been revoked under section 221(i). There is no judicial review of the decision to revoke the visa, but there is judicial review in the context of a removal proceeding if the visa revocation is the sole basis for removal.
Expect more denials at the port of entry to the US by individuals not aware that their visa has been revoked. I understand the need for more security but this may not be the way to go.

Hi
My 140 got approved and 485 is in pending state.I have my EAD and also valid H1.
1.Can I add my spouse to my GC status when PD is not current?My spouse is on H1B visa.
2.If I start using EAD, is it still possible to add spouse or I should maintain valid H1 status?
Can you please respond back ASAP.Thanks.
Your spouse can file I-485 only when your PD is current. Until (s)he needs to maintain H1/H4 status.

Thanks. I like your idea;A better place for that would be any country where expatriates work in the Middle East ( Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman etc)
I think if there is no time limit ( currently 6 years) on h1 visa and there are 3 yr extensions, it will make all of our lives so much easier.
There will be no hurry to apply for GCs and those who really want to stay in US forever will apply, thus reducing all this backlogs too.
Any thoughts.

Our kids do well in schools thereby helping to raise the standard of education.
Most immigrant kids go on to college, thereby increasing the level of professionalism of the human capital available to the American economy.

Hi,
My wife and I are currently working on EAD and have used the AP to entry the US. We will be going to the Canadian consulate to apply for Canadian Visa (want to go on vacation). I had the following questions:-
1) What all papers are required?
2) How long will they issue the canadian visa for? I am planning on obtaining a multiple entry visa. When I was on H1 they issued me a visa which was till the end of my H1 expiration date.
Thanks.
Not sure about the rules now, but when I did it in 2002, it was a single entry visa for 6 months - though it is single entry - going from US is an exception - from US it is multiple entry and it costed $50 during those times.
Documents - appp form, fee, your legal status here (485, EAD etc..), bank statements and usually they ask why r u visiting Canada and you can say "tourism"
