Unless you have some specific reason, you will face tough question if you go to any other country. If it is Mexico or Canada, they are neighbouring countries and you have a point to argue.

My friend used AC21. He switched jobs after 6 months of filing for 485. He had a query on his 485 seeking experience letters for previous and current employment. He filed those and his 485 approved.
As the title suggest, it is meant for folks who have invoked AC21 (1-140 approved, I-485 filed & pending more than 6 months, job desc almost similar) successfully and unsuccessfully.
If you have successfully transferred, can you comment on the experience, any denial notices that you had to overcome? Have you got the green card finally?
If unsuccessful, what issues are you facing? Is there some work around or going back to desh is the only option?

Thank you hpandey for the clarification. If I apply H1B extension in premium processing in apr itself, I will know soon if it will go through or not. My plan is to apply H1B transfer immediately to a new employer in case of H1B extension denial from the current employer, as I will still have valid H1B for few more months till Sep 09.
One more doubt I have is whether it will raise a red flag for USCIS, if I apply premium processing in apr 09 for extension from oct 1st 09 or will it be fine. Please let me know.

H1 processing for 2nd time : First 6 yrs on H1 over!
My 6 yrs of stay on H1 gets over in November 2007. I have not applied for GC. I know that I need to stay outside the US for a period of 1 year before starting a new H1. I will be going back to my country in November.
Can I find a company which will apply for H1 for me in April 2008 and enter US in Nov.2008 (after I complete 1 year stay outside the US)?
Am I eligible to apply immediately in April 2008? Or do I need to complete 1 yr of stay outside the US before even applying for a fresh H1?
When will I be able to enter the US : after Nov.2008 or Oct.2009.
Any inputs in this regard will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I am a freelancer and I plan to write an article for a California based Asian Newsletter about the political views of the Immigrant community.
Most EB Immigrants (now citizens) have forgotten what's it like to be an "Immigrant in a limbo". Let's remind them!! Your thoughts might inspire someone to reconsider their decisions.
I was in your shoes in the mid 90's. and I am aware that most of you are in the midst of a messy immigration process.
But, if you had an opportunity, who would you choose and why?
post your official contact info (not some @yahoo.com email address) and interested members can contact you with their views.

Okay..That means..we need to give A# also without fail?
I am afraid my company will ask for more details if I disclose this information that's why i want to give No for these questions..:mad:
You have given Yes to this questions right ?
If I don't mention my A# would it be okay? or will they find out by some other ways?

My limited understanding about the GC process is that from the day I-485 is filed, a person may change his/her job only after 180 days or more, and of course by filing AC 21.
Also, in case the I-485 does not get approved within the 180 days after filing, then how can a person change a job without having an EAD.
A person can EAD only once I-485 is approved? Is that correct.
Please throw some light on the above points. Thanks in advance.

I recently took up a fulltime job and I was told that drug test will be taken few days before the join date. Also the employment is contegent upon succefull drug test and background test.
My concern is, I need to give 2 week notice to my present employer . If drug test and background test are not done before 2 weeks of join date, how can I be sure things don't go wrong for some or the other reason in checking. My records are clean in US and I don't forcee any problem.
SO is this common to conduct drug test few days before join date...??

I am in the same situation. I am on my 8th year of H1 and this is for the first time I am have heard so much hoopla that has made me real nervous. My lawyer has advised me against taking any risk. I already have the tickets but I am planning to postpone, apply for EAD and only then go to India.
Please note that this is only me and I might have a comletely different risk tolerance than you might have.
I am planning to visit India during May 2011. I am working in multinational company as civil engineer (on H1-B). I have PhD from US uni. I am reading a lot about visa stamping probs these days. Please help me taking decision whether to take chance (& visit India) or not. will appreciate any advises especially from ppl with such recent experience. Thanks.

here are the visa numbers used in 2006 for EB2 and EB3.
EB-2: India(3,720), China(3,347), Canada(1,248)
EB-3 Skilled: Mexico(6,766), Korea(4,375), Philippines(4,114), Ecuador(3,747), Brazil(3,670), Poland(3,230), India(3,006), China(2,477), Pakistan(2,091)
Assuming there are atleast 300K Indians waiting for visa numbers in the EB2 + EB3 category (including dependents) and 6726 out of them were covered last year, we will have to wait for just another 44 years and 7 months to get an immigrant visa number. LOL
If everything goes well as planned atleast GC is assured for our children ( for some like me - grand children) .

You have to choose the option - Re-issue of passport.
Fresh Passport is in case your passport expired 6 months back or more.
Fill the form, print it, fill the rest of the applicable details in ink and send it.
As you are already sending your old passport along, it is not that big of a deal.

In Franz Kafka's chilling story "The Metamorphosis", a man wakes up one morning to find that he has been transformed into a "gigantic insect". Recently, a California family, all permanent residents for over 30 years, was suddenly informed by the government that they were all illegal aliens and must return to Thailand. Mr. Promsiri entered the United States on a student visa. His wife and two young sons, aged 10 and 3 joined him in 1971. In 1975, the parents obtained a divorce from a Thai Consulate in the U.S. The wife married an American citizen, and the couple honeymooned...

We have seen many recent cases where the employer revokes I-140 and that causes inadvertent issues with a pending AOS application.
With the economy worsening, several companies are going to be forced to lay off employees, many in an amicable way. Also many small companies do not know the legalities and just revoke I-140 to be on the safe side.
I have heard over an over again that companies are not required to revoke I-140, but is there some official documentation that says so? If we have that handy, then in case of a layoff we could point them to the documentation and request them to NOT revoke the I-140 petition.
I tried to look around, but couldn't find any. Does anyone else know?

I am not a lawyer, so make sure do discuss with a good lawyer. I am just sharing the info that I know.
US labor laws are good that no organization can stop an employee from joining any organization/company. Even if your company made you to sign a agreement, that doesn't hold in front of the law. This law could vary little from state to state, but not to great extent.
If you are receiving calls and emails from your employer, I would suggest, change the phone number, apartment/house, etc. and ignore him. But you should know that at 140 stage you need experience letter from employer. Make sure you can get it from your colleagues. Or you must cut a deal with your ex-employer now.

Will the retrogression in Family Based have any consequences for the Employment based immigration?
Most of the EB3 are living in the hope of filing family based green card when their kids turn 18, which will be in another 7 to 10 years.
