Yes, I did use LS.
But my motive was not to jump the line as I told my company attorney to purposefully find an LC from this year or last year. And since it was a multibillion dollar company with some xx thousand employees. They were able to find one.
Not everyone's motives is to jump the line. I did this because I didnt want to wait another 10 years to apply for I 485.
And on the top, dont even think that all who did LS were able to jump the line. LS involves lot of scrutiny and it was always safer to use one's own labor.
Its so funny that some people think that people who cannot prove themselves for what ever reasons (education etc) with their own labor use LS. hehehe. This is even more riskier.
And it was always legal to do it. And may be many people and employers misused it. Shout at those people.
As for me, my labor was going nowhere and the company with which I worked for the past few years found an LS for me which was from last year PD and I do not regret doing it.
And I bet, people who had an opportunity like me would do it.
And also, THE THREAD WAS NOT OPENED WITH A TITLE "WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT LS, SHOULD IT BE BANNED". There were a number of threads on this forum where you can show these kinds of opinions. This thread was opened for a different purpose.
And moveover LS is banned now. So dont waste your energyy but use it for some good causes IV is planning for.
jump line by one year Right? If you own labor wasn't going anywhere why not apply for new one since your multibillion dollar company looks ready to do anything for you?

MET3259- Thanks for the Post. It was great.
Could you address my quiestion regarding "low" wages. How "low" are they and what does 'low" mean in Canada, relative to cost of living and especially real estate prices. Can you afford to buy a decent house or apartments in average salary?
Thanks

If Republicans control the House, they will be too bitter because they can't repeal the Health Care Reform, and will not let CIR pass in 2011. Best hope is 2012 now. Obama could have easily passed CIR in past 2 years, instead he focused all his efforts on health care..
Dems were no good either...they could have easily worked with Bush to pass it in 2006/2007 but, they screwed it up by going with the points system and the "path to citizenship". Again, in 2008 they had all 3 chambers but, the hispanic caucus held the bill hostage. CIR will never get passed as long as there is that "path to citizenship" provision, in the upcoming congress. So, in reality, there is no CIR...now or ever.

As we all know, the Housing crisis in US is getting worse day by day, with the inventory of houses available for sale increasing, and buyers not willing/able to buy those houses.
Giving speedy Green Cards to July Visa bulletin cases will ease the Housing Crisis in US.
Most of the people affected by the July Visa bulletin are highly skilled people who have the capacity to buy houses, but are not investing in houses, since their future in US is not secure until they get Green Cards.
Instead they end up investing in real estate in Bangalore/Hyderabad etc, thereby helping in housing boom in those places.
If Congress passes a law to give speedy Green Cards to these highly skilled people ASAP; these highly skilled people, who have good jobs and capacity to buy houses inspite of the difficult situation regarding getting loans etc, will help US tide over the current difficult housing situation.
This is something for the US law makers to ponder.

I came to US in 1999 and for a month I did not get paid. I switched to another company and they filed me new H1 instead of transfer. From then, every H1 transfer I need to provide lots of documents to attorney and answer several RFE's for each h1 transfer. Being out of status(not illegal) concerend me a lot but now being illegal is the better than being out of status.
Having paid taxes for all the eight years and playing by rules does not help in America. It is so ironical now to see how legal people are digging their way back in time to find a period for which they wanted to be stamped illegal. All these days legals tried to cover up, but they are now PROUD and HAPPY to find such periods. The WORST is the poor fellows who have not even stayed illegal/out of status and played by rules 100%.
GOD BLESS AMERICA. Becoming illlegal is very easy, but if you want to be legal and get the GC, then it this is not the land.
Its funny that we tried so hard to stay legal. Now we trying very hard to find out ways to become illegal.

Yes, don't worry guys. Once I-140 is approved, most of employment and job related stuff is over.
I-485 is mainly for status change stage to check criminal background (not job related :) ), FP and name check. They won't check much on job.
It is all straight forward and only a time consuming stage. Thats all. Enjoy the AOS pending stage.
Incorrect.
Consider this example. It is possible that I-140 is approved in Dec 2005 and I-485 is filed in July 2007. There can be big time lag between I-140 and I-485.
I-140 is mainly matching job requirement to employee' skill set and experience and ability to pay for the employer. It does NOT check for out of status issues. I hope you know that person may not be US for I-140 to be approved.
I-485 is, like it says, adjustment of status and it checks for status issue. Please refer to section 245 in detail. Section 245(k), for example, applies to I-485 (and not to I-140).
Please confirm with your lawyer and get your info right.

For those of you celebrating the defeat of Democrats because they sabotaged CIR due to the "path to citizenship" it's time to get real. Conservatives (both Dems and Repubs) are more than comfortable shutting the door to ALL immigrants. Don't fall into the trap of anti-immigrant legislators, don't let them turn this into a wedge issue.
I agree with this 110%. Reps are more conservative. They don't want any non-american in this country. They would just say "GC or what.. Get the hell outta here".
Turning on the undocumented is not what we want to show to the outside, it is a losing proposition and will turn off the public.
As to what to do now, I'm puzzled. CIR is effectively dead in the US House, probably the Senate as well. The voters said loud and clear this week that they want the focus to be on JOBS not anything else like grandiose immigration legislation.
What to do now? Looks like another 2 years tacked on to the wait from my perspective :/
Another 2 years., and another year after and an year after... come on guys....

Hi Ebizash-
Did you noticed any LUD today on ure AP renewal case
Ken,
The reason that the USPS is not showing your documents delivered could be many. One of the biggest reasons that I have experienced is "unable to scan the bar code". This is more probable if you had printed the mailing label and affixed it on the envelope with a tape. Sometimes the tape can overlap the bar code making the bar code difficult to be scanned. I frequently use USPS priority mail and in about 10% of the cases this happens. But I never had a lost priority mail piece.
Additionally the fact that you had a soft LUD on 9/28, I would think that LUD was for the reason that USCIS received the documents. I had applied AP online on the same date as you did, sent docs via priority mail the next day. USPS showed that the documents delivered on 9/25 and had soft LUDs on 9/25 and 9/28.
Hope this helps!

please give us the name of this company so that we can inform ICE and do our duty to stop fraud.
What he/she is doing is legal. Unless this offer involved payment for labor substituion, in which case its illegal. But good luck trying to prove it. Ever heard of wage kickbacks?
I understand your anger but NO ONE can stop this since its totally legal and if there is a financial transaction, no one will be able to prove it. My only hope is this guy/gal gets his/her employer to use his/her own lawyer instead of company lawyer so that he has control over his case. Otherwise, this guy/gal will be in more pathetic condition than everyone who goes thru 3-4 years of retrogression.

Online status does not change when they send FP notices.
There will be a change in LUD after you give FP.
Will they not update status when they send any FP notice? Even if one misses the letter, one will get an idea whether something happened or not. Or are you saying that they don't even change the status when they send FP notice and if it misses to reach us we never would be knowing at all??
Can anybody clarify whether they update at the online status system when they send FP notice. Otherwise there is some reason for a mild worry; still don't see any reason for the kind of anxiety people are having for not having FP.

If this "clothes" thing is used by the cops, the illegal immigrants will start wearing "legal types" clothes and then there will be chaos...ROFL.
Check this out: Brian Bilbray, GOP Rep., Claims Clothes Identify Illegal Immigrants (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/04/22/brian-bilbray-gop-rep-cla_n_547710.html)
"trained professionals" can identify undocumented workers just by looking at their clothes......"They will look at the kind of dress you wear, there is different type of attire, there is different type of -- right down to the shoes, right down to the clothes," Bilbray replied.
How long before we are targeted based on this rationale (our traditional dresses are easily recognizable!!) ....... These policies will only spiral in the wrong direction, making every immigrant's life miserable - be it legal or illegal!!!

This is what I got from 4 separate lawyers when I was invoking AC-21. I think everybody should speak to a lawyer before invoking AC-21.
A lot of people out there think that after getting EAD one can invoke AC-21 to change to any job at any employer. This is not true. AC-21 is pretty complicated and I think that in the future, if there is no change in the law, a lot of 485 applications will be pending for 6-8 years or more. And for the duration of this period, a lot of people will invoke AC-21. I also think that the rate for rejection for number of AC-21 cases at USCIS will be higher. Nobody told me about the approximate wait time and rejection rate. It is just what I think based upon the developing situation.
Sanju, I noticed you invoked AC21. Is that correct?
Please post all your details such as how long you were with your old employer,
when did u inform uscis about your new employer.
Was there much difference in ur salary?
Is your GC approved? Which stage are u in.
Is ur new employer from same state?
I know I'm asking so many questions. But always wise to get opinion from experienced person.
So far in this thread you answerd so many questions. Be little patience and answer the above. Also I missed and you think important to share, please.

yes..agreed. But you are forgeting all the new EAD's (H4's) who will be part of the mix.
You have to compete with H4s on EAD (I might be generalizing here so apologies to anyone offended) you've got more serious issues than you have foreseen.
EAD is not a ticket to a high-paying job requiring a certain level of skill.
I feel this thread is going the way of a Programmer's guild forum in that "Now that I'm in the door, stop the offshoring" :D

One possible explanation could be labor market being bad. We could anticipate spillover to be considerably bigger than previous years.

I spoke to a staff at Michael R. McNulty's office.
He comes to Albany on weekends only.
Rest of the time (5 days a week) he is in Washington.
We can meet staff members any time betwenn 9 to 5 (no appointment required).
Spoke to staff member at Schumer's office.
He is not available for a meeting.
Have set up a meeting (with staff) for 12th April 11am (nothing available for next 2 weeks).
I was actually just trying to find out if we could schedule an appointment with Schumer. Did not expect them to set up an appointment on the phone so fast.
We can change if this is not convenient.
I am not sure if this is gonna help, as it is 2 weeks away.
Please provide feedback.
I will go home and review what can be done, tonight. Great, lets coordinate on this.
Great we already have 4 members.
