New memo is not helping us in terms of answering few questions. Can i comeback on H1B (without subject to cap limit) after changing job using EAD?

I140 should be approved or approvable at the time of filing. Yates memo is very clear on that- I-140 approval is not required in concurrent filing. Also there is no salary requirements on invoking AC 21. Again, please read Yates Memo.
Requirements to change employer when GC is pending:
- I-140 should be approved
- More than 180 days should have passed after filing I-485. The clock for 180 days starts from 485 receipt.
- Approved EAD
Significance of 180 days barrier
If you have approved I-140 and EAD, you can change employer without having to wait for 180 days. But then your employer can revoke the I-140 which invalidates the 485 application. After 180 days from I-485 receipt, I-140 cannot be revoked so that is why it is always recommended to invoke AC-21 after 180 days from the 485 receipt.
After 180 days, you cannot change jobs, you can only change employers
When you invoke AC-21, you have o fulfill two conditions:
1.) You new jobs has the same or similar job description as mentioned in the green card labor certification application
2.) You salary should be almost the same as the wages mentioned in GC labor certification application
This means, you have to continue to stay in the same job title and job description till the time your GC is approved. If you fulfill the requirements mentioned above, you do not have to inform USCIS when invoking AC-21. You just switch employer. At some point USCIS will send you a query asking for the information of the employer who continues your green card application. It is best to take up job where the job title and job description is exactly the same as specified in your GC labor certification application. Any variance in the job title or job description could be extremely damaging to the GC application processing.
It is best to not to change to an employer offering you anything less than the wage rate specified in the GC labor certification. On the higher side, it is better not to take up a job that offers more than 4% more salary of that specified in the GC labor certification. It is hard to resist 20-30K higher salary, but one would have to resist the temptation for taking the job offering higher salary. Otherwise, there is a risk of USCIS denying the GC application.
USCIS doesn�t account for dollar appreciation or devaluation. USCIS also doesn�t account for annual inflation when calculating the wage rate. So even if your labor certification was applied in 2003, you still have to continue at the job with the salary specified in the GC labor certification. If GC application takes another 5-7 years, then you have to continue with the salary specified in GC labor certification application.
Hope this is useful.

If your COS application was approved and you didnt have to go out of US for H1B stamping I would assume your are in status.
I dont know if this would come up in RFE or at interview stage, but I wont worry about it unless the period was more than 180 days.

Solaris27,
Thanks for your reply, there are a lot of conflicting reports from different sources so I wanted to be sure. Have you traveled in the past month or know of anybody who has come back without a transit visa through Frankfurt? The new Schengen visa rules are causing a lot of confusion. Thanks!

You wait for 120 days and make umpteen calls to USCIS. Finally you get your EAD which is valid only for 10 months eventhough your priority date is predicted to be in next Ice Age.
If you want to correct the mistake done by USCIS go through some more pain and hassles or suck it and shell your hard earned money to renew after 10 months.I guess no one in USCIS cares for shoddy service they do.

I think as with all certifications, the effort you put into getting the certification teaches you a lot. It is debatable as to if the certificate itself has any value. It is kind of like going to college, the degree just gives a 3rd party assertion that you did what you say you did.
I must admit that I have not maintained my PMP certification and it has lapsed over the last two years. I just found it very utopian and not very practical. Maybe that is the way it is designed to be. I also got my PMP after spending 5 years successfully rolling out two CMM level 5 assesments and one ISO 9001 certification for my employers. PMP for me was just a way of having someone endorse me and my skills. Over time I found it to be relatively useless unless you hang out at the various PMI meets to do some effective networking.
If you are a project lead, or someone stepping up to a managerial level, this could really give you a big boost, an endorsement of your life experiences and skills. If you have already been a PM in a CMM5 or ISO9001 organization, you probably already follow most of the best practices and the PMP can't add much more to your life.

As if being a FT employee is a virtue :rolleyes: ...dude you gotta move ur crap somewher else
Had it not been a virtue, you wouldnt have been on this board for your GC. If you know what I mean. The GC /EAD will give you portability and bargaining power in negotiations for your wages with your employer.
THINK BEFORE YOUR OPEN YOUR TRAP DUDE...OR YOU WILL BE EMBARASSED

but isnt this the reason for LC advertising? That is, if a USC or permanent resident applies he should be given preference over an immigrant. By that rationale I am not so sure it is illegal.
Also, many large companies, when applying for jobs on their websites, mandatorily require you to state your visa status. While self-identification (race, sex) is always optional and cannot be required (by law, there will always be a statement that says submission of this info is voluntary).
They cannot ask it if it is illegal, and clearly this information is used in the employment process.
So, I am not so sure this is illegal.
I am pretty sure that discriminating on nationality is illegal, but that is different
Probably according to the EEOC rules, unless the job requires for security clearance, companies must not discriminate between a US citizen and someone with work authorization. A company must also not deny job to you because u don't have enough time on ur visa. Company must go through legal channels to accept or deny employment for visa holders. As such companies don't really discriminate. They want good people for work. Most times it is the reqruiters who post these ads. Reqruiters post ads like * must be citizen, must be local to New York* etc... Even for L/C ads, I don't think there is a need to mention preference for citizens - though I am not sure about this.
If prefering US citizens is discriminatory, I am sure a bill will be easily passed to make such postings valid and legal :)

Thanks, I have an info pass appointment will find out and let you know.
The service request is usually a waste of time. They will send a generic response to everyone when case is pending w/o visa numbers. I and almost all of my friends received a response that additional information was needed for processing your case and hence additional delay blah blah.. I think this guy just decided to use security message for your responses. I wouldn't worry about it. If you want to really check this, you can definitely make an appointment at local office and talk to the IO there. But it was even a bigger waste of time in my case. The IO at local office looked at his system/systems and told me that if it is a green card application its faster(just another month or so) and if it is a h visa there is a few month delay:confused: Go figure..

We WILL get 10K+. (I will not be surprised if it is double that number) Here is why:
Its just that we have not yet reached everyone in the community yet. Everyone reading this message, please make sure to pass on the rally information to at least one person you know, this weekend. Then ask that person to pass it on further.
Let us use all our networking to best use here. 10K is not a difficult number. When we started this organization, we could not even get 10 people together, but nobody gave up hope.
The success of the rally, this cause and our own greencard issues depends on each one of us. I'm sure we are all capable of sharing this responsibility.

my non-lawyerly suggestion: do not file ac21 until well into whichever job you takel
I have read on various forums that there is no necessity to notify unless there is an RFE, but to maintain appropriate evidence at all times. you may want to consider doing that until you are well settled in whichever job you take.
by the way, what is your PD?
hope this helps.
My priority date is Feb 28 2005

Not related to this thread but I did not want to open a new thread for this question..
As you can see I am EB2-I (info above) and am waiting in line for my turn but I am just wondering if L1 route to GC is quicker? If so then how?
Not that I am trying to do it because I can not :) but I know someone who just got his GC via L1 in matter of months and here we all EB guys are waiting..
Thanks.
I know people (Indian) who have applied for EB1 after being in L1 for a couple of years and got the GC in 6 months. There is a category for International Manager (or something similar) that qualifies them for EB1.

Once the dollar touches that low, expect huge salary cuts across the board for the employess of these companies.
Yeah, easy money overnight is not always possible. Business in general is never easy. Lot of people think it is. People used to easy money, can never adapt to tough times. Those capable hard working businessmen who can adapt to any situations are the real businessmen.

I guess this bill passage is a trigger to all skilled workers to do the following.
Option-1: Become Illegal and get a Z visa.
Options-2: Go back to home land and live with dignity and peace of mind. (This is the option I would take). I am thankfully to the congress for helping me to make a decision, rather then wait for life time.
Options-3: Re-apply in merit based system and wait in line for 4 to 5 years, until some other similar bill comes and says you to restart again in some other system.

I changed it to clarify. The answer is YES, we have had 100% approvals for CA=MA, but we have done relatively few. This is based on Indian documentation that CA=PGD. However the stronger evidence points to CA=BA. As you can see someone on this board got an approval for our evaluation for a CA=MA with a professor's expert letter. The professor's letters are not cheap but effective.
