Please be considerate to your good employer and good attorney of yours. You do not want to burn bridges, when you leave. Give them at least 2-3 weeks notice. That is the least or at least work with them for 6 months since that is what the law would require you after getting GC.
AFAIK there is no law requiring you to work with your current employer after getting GC, particularly if it is based on an EB1-EA petition. But there is an underlying intent that you will at least continue working on areas related to your extraordinary ability. And I read elsewhere that this will likely be a major factor later, should you apply for citizenship, when USCIS will go through your employment and GC history with a fine tooth comb. In worst case scenario, they will not only deny you citizenship, but may even revoke your GC (again, this is what I read on other forums, and makes good sense too). So yes, switch as many employers as you want, but stay within the scope of your promised field of expertise and ability.

Thanks for the reply. I talked to IRS and was on the phone with them for 1.5hrs and she said I can apply for her ITIN even though she is not here.
Anybody here got ITIN for spouse even though spouse is not in US?
Thanks.
You can apply for ITIN even if your spouse is not in US. I have done it ealrier but the only condition is she shouldhave visited US on dependent visa last year for your to claim?
-Udaya.

Note: Read my post IV need to set up a fax:This is a WIN/WIN situation for us (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=47943&postcount=38)
Thanks go_guy123. Your reply is twisted and not in context for the task on hand. I only quoted American Academy of Nursing, as rimzhim said (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=47949&postcount=40), such need to set up fax as above, 'will show us in poor light.
Sorry you missed the whole point and is side tracking the need of today: stop the grab of unused visas. Pure and simple.
Well they are also shouting about Nurse shortage just like Corporate America is shouting about shortage of H1Bs.

If we support DREAM act, they will support SKIL bill.
Who are they?, they do not have any voice or vote anywhere. They are ILLEGAL, they broke the law.
Congress and Senate are dominated by Democrats. If they think that is best for USA what is your problem? Wherever our interests meet, we need to support other things. Also if amnesty (for lack of better words) is given by US Govt, (with proper border enforcement), then they will not be illegals. Hope you are getting big picture.
I personally had many meetings, they echoed the opinion that we are doing the right thing. That is the way things work in the capital. And they have very great opnion of Patton Boggs.

First of all I think logiclife will go in the history of immigration books as the movers that existed in this generation. I am amazed at how motivated the IV core team is and how smoothly they have organized the whole show so far.
I salute you. Hats off to you guys.
I read a lot of newspaper articles after the rally and they always seemed to mention that Indian and Chinese legal aliens protesting backlogs. I think there should be some effort to also include people from other nationalities such as Russians, Englishmen, Philipinos, Chinese and other nationalities. Now I know they are not hit as hard as us but they go thru some serious backlog as well if they are in the EB3 category.
Question is I am thinking how?
Any ideas guys?

i thought a simple majority i.e. >50 would make the bill pass through senate. is that not true?
Nope. Need 60 votes to do anything in Senate and that is why even though the Dems have a so called majority then cant get anything done.

I am sorry you feel like that about IV core. I am not a CORE member so I can't speak for them but if you have spent a basic amount of time following and more importantly taking part in IV initiatives you would not have "decided" that IV is promoting "EB2" agenda simply because there is no such agenda.
I am sure you noticed this but if not, this is a free speech and membership forum and IV is not made up by pappu or paskal but each and every one who tries to make some difference by participating in the action items.
If you think that there needs to be IV initiatives that better suit your needs, you know what...lead it...set up action items....organize like minded folks. IV is setup for that. It is easy to just point fingers and put out statements based on your negative perception, if you really feel so bad about this phantom EB2 agenda, how about doing something constructive through IV.
Yes, what I posted was meant to be hard,
ask a EB3 person if he was happy when EB3 was available and Eb2 was not.
Did any one try to justify the reason why EB2 was UNAVAILABLE? No.
Did anyone here feel unhappy that EB2 moved so nicely? No.
Then why are we not seeing a single post from anyone which says we as aspiring immigrants are not being failrly dealt with when EB3 did not move with EB2.
Instead we see posts about why EB3 is not moving and explanation of reasons behind it.
Is there a hidden agenda here, NO. Not from IV, am i trying to prove something like that? I dont think so.

Thank you everybody that has contributed. We need to raise $50,000 in the next 15 days. That is $3334 raised every day. Now even though this looks like a big amount to raise, with a collective effort we can do this.
Goal by end of today: $23,338
Amount Reached: $6,300

More education generally does mean more skill. It does not always mean more pay, but this country has decided to use education and work experience as the criterion for EB category allocation.
You have put this in the best possible way. My allegiance to EB2 as I got my MS degree from US in Tech Major.

Good post. Politics is a game of give and take. One thing legal immigrants should learn is not to distance themseves too much from the cause of illegals. If we support DREAM act, they will support SKIL bill. If we support admission bar repealed or 245(i), they will support higher numeric quotes and not counting of dependents. Think about it, our common goal is the same - to have a fair immigration system, where every desrving person has a chance to come to this country legally and with dignity.

Hey man this guy is BTech Computer science fro IIT Bombay
You can help him to give some pointers of agencies.
Regarding skillset and all, he can very much figure it out.
We need not to help him wrt skillsets,
but we just have to give pointers. That shd make it i guess...
Is it right fellow iitian ???

In this big black hole we are alone, not the govt. nor the lawyers really care for what goes with us. USCIS is just a money making machine for the govt. Rules are made complex and there are several layers of forms. I wonder why a person should go thru 2 stages before filing for I-485. Or why they have 5 different forms filled Labor/I-140/I-485/I-760/I-131 blah blah blah when they could just do it with 1 form like any other country have or may be 2 layers, labor and I-1485. There's no logic of having to file I-140/I-760/I-131. It's all money game...
AILA does not care about people its an organization to take care of lawyer's interest. When you file every year the lawyer can make money every year. So be rest assured they will make some noises but will not bite USCIS.

Matthew OH is playing with words since yesterday. I am not even sure if he knows what he is talking about. Did you guys read the stuff about 485 filing. The phrase "Untangling the tangled mess" was mentioned 3-4 times. After reading his notices, one has to wonder what the heck is he talking about.

so far....they rushed my application last year in July 2007 so I didn't miss the bus. I guess it depends who you are working with. I worked with Maria V. who was good.
yeah but their invoice department needs training. They keep on sending me invoices and then recanting it.

Yes , its Free :D Anyway - lets talk with a 3rd person (maybe USCIS) and confirm. Its Free, if you read the EAD forms its clearly written that once some one pays $340 ( not other amount) it becomes FREE for ever. I just checked the EAD forms again before writing this post - let me PASTE from EAD forms if that clear the confusion.
Renewal EAD: If this is a renewal application and you
applying under one of the following categories, a filing fee
not required:
1. (a)(8) Citizen of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, or Palau;
3. (a)(11) Deferred Enforced Departure; or
2. (a)(10) Granted Withholding of Deportation;
4. (c)(l), (c)(4), or (c)(7) Dependent of certain foreign government, international organization, or NATO personnel;
5. (c)(9) or (c)(16) adjustment applicant who filed for adjustment under the fee structure implemented July 30, 2007.
No it is NOT free from there on.
Btw I just got "screwed over" by the USCIS ;). I "missed" the June 30th deadline by 5 days. Our EADs got appoved today. If only the USCIS was as effieicient with 485s as it is with monetary screw overs :rolleyes:
