Nikon put itself "On The Ropes", by not paying attention to what the market wants. Canon have consistently caught them with their pants down with the D60, 300D and the mkII. Very kind of Canon to leave Nikon anywhere near 30% of the table scraps. who says the blokes at Canon don't have a heart?

yeah, you are correct we will post all our information too, like bank balance, SSN, etc.
huh ?? what's wrong with having update to date count on IV contribution and balance ? If people are funding IV , then IV can post where that money is being spent. IV is non-profit organization.. right ?

You can file as many I-140's in any category (EB2/EB3/NIW) as long as you have a certified labor for a bona fide position with a matching education and company has ability to pay for those positions. These I-140's can come from one company or different ones it doesn't matter.
In your current situation:
1. Don't even think about doing anything with pending I-140 and AOS. There is a definite delay in I-140 approvals at both NSC/TSC so waiting is the best thing to do. As long as your qualification matches the LC description you will get your I-140 approved. If your I-140 is pending 30 days past the processing time and you haven't received an RFE, it might have been stuck in security check. Your lawyer needs to open a service request to find out what is going on.
2. For the labor that is expiring in Jan, go ahead and file an I-140 petition right now, there is nothing to worry about two I-140. If nothing else this petition can be used for 3 year H1B extension in case the first one gets stuck.
3. The second I-140 that you are filing can't be used for your pending AOS if your priority date is not current. Check the Pearson Interfiling memo ( from link below). If your priority dates are current and will remain current (EB2 ROW) file for an new AOS application when your second I-140 gets approved. If by this time your first I-140 is approved you can simply toss the second I-140 in the office shredder.

Thanks for your responses guys. Now I understand that once I withdraw my old I-140, my I-485 is gone.
Reg my question 2, I know that people file 1 in EB3 and second in EB2. Or after one is approved file another one with earlier PD LC. But, is it possible to apply for second I-140 in the same category (EB3) when another one is already pending? Have any one done this before?. Could you guys point me to some links?
I asked this question to my lawyer. No response yet. I would really appreciate your response.

I was the guy from Sweden. I agree with the Russian student.
The reason I was there was because my green card process was a painful and stressful experience for 5 years. And I was still one of the lucky ones! I don't want to put anyone through the same agony, not even my worst enemy. I really feel for the people still stuck in the mess.
I talked to a Polish guy who had been here 9 years fully legally and could not leave. He had not seen his family in 9 years and did not want to risk going back just in case they would not approve his H1B in his home country. They are very strict there it seems, because none of his family members or friends could not even get a tourist nor visit visa to see his graduation. Shocking!
I was glad I showed up at the rally just to hear all the peoples' stories.
Most people who did not show up probably think they are ok after applying the i485. They will join IV rallies, when they realize how wrong they are. People have applied for i485s years ago and still don't have a green card...

I heard that NSC is 45 days compliant in processing EAD. Is this true? I think it is not. Knowing NSC, it could take approximately 90 days +/- 30 days.

I have an email reply saying -
1) They are not going to provide a corrected W2 since they changed the payroll company starting 01/01/2009
2) The HR has asked me to report those wages even without a W2
3) They also wrote they have not received the Insurance Company payment statements which was not true because the Insurance Company did mailed those documents in the 2nd week of January and the HR also confirmed over the phone that they have received.
I have the statements from the Insurance Company that shows SS and Medicare taxes withheld. The statements also say it should be reported in the year end W2. I have also faxed the Insurance Company statements to them and have a confirmation report.
I really didn't want to file a complaint but since my wife has to receive W2 for the next year 2009 also, I felt they might do the same next year.

Yeah. There is no way you are getting your green card in near future. Sorry buddy! I am realistic like you. :( I guess USCIS is ripping you off.
PS: Good luck to you, if this really means you get your greencard in near future.

A bit melodramatic, but i can relate to that. I lost one of my parents to this "US dream". But that is my personal problem.
I know of a colleague who lost her father but could not go to perform the last rites because she did not have the H1 stamped and the earliest appointment that any consulate in India was giving her was 4 months away.

There is no way to clean every thing with in 3 to 4 years, Why because like EB3 china and India had country limit per year.
Country limit is EXCLUDED for employment based visa spill over. Read USCIS policy.

Thanks anyway for your reply.
thanks for your understanding and taking it in the right spirit. I myself had an RFE and responded. Please share your RFE when it reaches your hand and let us know the details and I am sure you will get excellent inputs from all the great souls in IV.

The following write-up appears here courtesy of ChanduV23, one of our members. This has been edited for content and messaging:
Thank you ChanduV23
- On behalf of the Core IV Team
I am a highly-skilled professional who entered this country legally. I�ve been waiting for my US permanent resident visa -also known as "Green Card" for the past several years along with 500,000 other educated, highly skilled employment based (EB) immigrants. Many of us have been waiting for our turn to get Green Cards for 5-10 years while consistently abiding by all the laws of this country. Such long delays are due to tortuous and confusing paper work, backlogs due to various quotas and processing delays at US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) and other allied state and federal agencies.
Several categories of EB immigrant visa (Green Card) numbers have been unavailable (�retrogressed�) since the fall of 2005. Because our immigrant petitions are tied to the sponsoring employer, these delays have led to indentured servitude for several of us. Our professional prospects, job mobility and potential opportunities for entrepreneurship have been compromised.
For the past several decades, the US Department of State (DOS) has been publishing advisories known as visa bulletins once a month to announce the availability of immigrant visa numbers. On June 13, 2007, after a gap of nearly two years, DOS announced that all EB visa numbers would be �current� for the month of July. This meant, irrespective of our �priority date� (date assigned to us for our turn in the line for Green Cards), all of us were made eligible to apply for some interim immigration benefits. This �priority date� refers to the date when our labor certification (documentation verifying no US citizen worker was available for a given job) had been filed.
Please note that 6/13 DOS announcement would not have led to immediate green card for most of us; but at least it would have ensured us interim benefits such as the right to travel and right to work- this was still a welcome change. Especially, for dependent spouses who have been otherwise unable to work, this would have translated into right to travel and work without restriction and thus channel their energies positively. Several dependent spouses are also highly-skilled. This would provide them an opportunity to realize their technical and entrepreneurial expression and add to tax dollars. Additionally, this would have greatly reduced the paperwork burden on our sponsoring US employers.
Tens of thousands of applicants spent thousands of dollars in legal fees, immigration medical exams & vaccinations & getting various supporting documents ready to file our immigrant petitions to USCIS, at times inconveniencing our old parents in our home countries as well. It has been an agonizing two weeks for us. Some of us to had to fly in our spouses from our home countries or have had to cut short business trips. To our shock and dismay, on the morning of July 2nd 2007, USCIS announced that EB visa numbers were not available and all petitions filed in July would be rejected.
For the legal skilled immigrants this has been a rather traumatizing and disheartening experience.
We sincerely seek immediate congressional/ legislative remedial measures which would
(1)Reduce the enormous backlogs of green card petitions of legal skilled immigrants
(2)Ensure and request USCIS not to reject our immigrant visa petitions filed in July and provide us interim benefits of a pending immigrant visa petition. We make this sincere request on this Independence Day with the hope that people who played by the rules will be rewarded.
I was wondering if we can use this template and your press release ( http://www.prlog.org/10022648-no-celebration-for-thousands-of-highly-skilled-future-americans-this-july-4th.pdf) to let our local news media know. Thanks

If they ask for police clearance .. you give it..
Unless it was a felony that requires certain jail-time or something it's not always counted against you.. remember .. purpose is not to exclude shop-lifters.. they got plenty of those in Canada but rather identify and filter out security hazards.. you might need in person interview.. but it should be alright.. I know even US immigration allows folks like that.. so can't imagine Canada being more stringent..
I guess, we will wait for any response on this front, fron the buffalo office..
How can I get my spouse added to the application now? so taht she can accompany me at landing?
I send emai lto bufalo office, they havent responded

Your status is in no way tied to the validity of your passport. Making I94 expire with passport is not legally justified. I know two friends who have I94s expiring beyond their passport expiration date. Also, last time I extended my H1B, the I94 they sent expired 11 months after my passport expiration.
But as is usual with USCIS and CBP, different agents behave differently. Some give you I94 expiring 10 days after H1B, some the same day. They are rarely consistent.
If you think USCIS is crazy, wait till you try renewing your driver's license. Regular state DMV employees are expected to be well versed on immigration matters?!? Huh, what a joke...
A passport is a travel document. If it expires, it does not mean you lost your nationality or status, it just means you cannot travel. Imagine if visa stamps expired with passports too...
Fact: legislators and bureaucrats do not really care. They set fairly arbitrary rules, to justify why they are getting their salaries (which we are paying).

When you transfer money outside the USA, one of the questions that FDIC mandates the finanacial institution collect is: SOURCE OF FUNDS. If you put this as "salary" then you (and your employer) have ALREADY paid (or will pay by next year) on these funds. There are no additional US taxes on the money. If the money was not earned thru salary (which would not be legal since you are on H1B) then you will need to declare it while filing taxes. If the money was NOT earned "under the table" and was above $600 then, the payer will send you a for called 1099 which will show how much you were paid and you have to pay appropriate taxes on that amount. In your case it most likely looks like "salary", so you have nothing to worry about.

We should file 485 but lets keep our eyes on this and start action as soon as we know what is going on. Filing 485 will not gain you much if they add some amendment which nullifies EAD extention or something like this.
So lets get ready for the next round of faxes, phone calls and PLEASE CONTRIBUTE...
