I've received this letter from DOL by mail. I think this is in response to the fax that i sent through IV a while ago. I am posting the contents of the letter here.
U.S. Department of Labor
Employment and Training Administration
200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20210
Aug 28 2006
<My name here>
<My address here>
Dear Mr. <My name here> :
Your letter to Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao was referred to this office for reply. The Office of Foreign Labor Certification in the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) is responsible for administering the Department's Foreign Labor Certification Program. You expressed your concern with the processing of cases by the Backlog Elimination Processing Centers.
We share your concern regarding the lack of transparency in the Permanent Backlog System and are working on approaches to provide additional information. The criteria for processing a case are dependent upon the timely and complete response of the applicant to all issues and to the First In, First Out (FIFO) status of case. However, assuming two applications with the same priority date, there are several factors that account for different processing times. These include the type of application (Reduction-In-Recruitment Vs. Traditional Recruitment), the stage of processing at which the application was received by the Processing Center, the dates of other applications pending at each center (which determines each application's place within the FIFO queue), the quality of the application (applications that raise questions take longer), and the response time of the employer to center requests for confirmation to continue processing the application. Nevertheless, based on our current progress, we estimate the permanent program's backlog of cases will be eliminated by September 30, 2007.
Sincerely,
<Signature here>

That's expected. The CIR contains highly controversial language there dealing with illegal aliens, which is clearly opposed by the majority of Americans. We are in the middle of it. That is it. It is silly expect otherwise. If you follow the results of last elections, you will see that there is a tendency that supporters of illegal alien legalization are losing. More and more we associate our provisions with CIR, less chances for us to see a bill passing.

If you travel while I539 is pending, your 539 will be considered abandoned.
Its better to travel anyway if you are planning on it and then apply for visa.
Also do not use friends address. Once you move, you can file for AR-11 online and at that time it gives you an option to link any pending petitions to the address you just changed.

bb08/jvs,
thank you for your inputs.
I filled the DS160 and took an appointment at US consulate yesterday night with out the photograph. Looks like we can submit the photograph along with the confirmation letter on the day of interview.
I thought we needed to upload the photograph for completing DS160 but that does not seem to be the case. Did any of you experience this?
Thanks

Here is a memo from one of the law firms, I found on the net.
http://www.michaelpiston.net/documents/m/changing%20employer%20after%20I-485%20is%20approved.pdf
After digging thro' forums it seems everyone talks about having the "intention" of staying with the Employer after GC.
Here's my question.
- Should the "intention" be on the day of filing 485 or the day you get GC ? (a date in future that no one can predict).
If the "intention" has to be at the time of 485 filing then, after 180 days of filing 485 one should be able to change employers, irrespective of the case being approved or NOT.
thoughts/comments ??
Logically speaking it should be while filing the petition not while getting the GC approved. All in all you should portray an intention of joining in your activities through your GC process. However, if your position warrants a shift and you can justify it, I guess you are good to go.

I applied by mail to the DC embassy. I sent photocopies of everything and no problem.
The only thing to note though is that the DC embassy took a whole month to process my visa. I was going to Canada in September, applied in early july and received it somewhere in August. In the meanwhile when enquired about the status through email, they said they will delay it more now because I enquired. :) (and we think Indian govt. offices have bad attitude)
So I'd advise you to accomodate for the long time to get the Visa, if applying by mail.

I have applied AP for my family 3 weeks before. My wife needs to go India by end of next month. If AP approval doesn't come to our hand by next month, can she leave the country? If she shouldn't, what are the alternate options? I appreciate your help.
It is not advisable for her to leave the country without AP on hand. It is a risky proposition. Normally USCIS checks internally the resident status of the person and if they come to know that she left the country already, they may say/ consider that she left USA with the intention of abandoning her AOS case and issue denial for her I-485.
PS: You can encourage me to contribute more to the forum by awarding Green points, if you find this post as useful and informative.

I have a EB2 labor that is approved from BEC. But i have already applied 140 and 485 using EB3 labor and both are pending. Now I am planning to interfile 485 once my old 140 approves.
My question is does my labor expire, If I dont use it to file 140.
Thanks for your advice.
yes. 180 days past its approval date if it was approved since the law banning EB substition came out (in May or June this year). If it was approved before that law came into effect, then it will expire 180 days after the law became effective (Jan 2008).
Go ahead and file the second I-140, you can have two pending.

Expiration of Labor Certifications : 180-Day Rule
�MurthyDotCom
Under current rules, a labor certification (LC) does not have an expiration date. Under the new regulation, an LC will expire after 180 days if no I-140 is filed to proceed with the case. For labor certifications approved on or after July 16, 2007, the I-140 petition must be filed within 180 days of the LC approval. For LCs that are or were approved before July 16, 2007, the I-140 petition will have to be filed within 180 days of July 16, 2007.

Its been a long time since Ive been on F-1 and I'm sure some of the rules have changed.
F-1 from my understanding can be extended beyond 2 years, usually 4 years was the norm. Some F-1s were even open ended, there was no limit stated on the F-1 visa itself. In my case I did OPT on my 4th year.
Are you graduating or intending to continue your education? I think it would be hard for you to come back to the US after your F-1 expires if you only have OPT and have no plans or did not file to extend your F-1, or graduate. You may be turned back at a POE.
I suggest you talk to a lawyer or your school about renewing your F-1. Usually schools that take international students have an Foreign Students department that can help give you advice or even file the change for you.

Right now I am on EAD, since last december(2009) I am not working, will there be any issues as I am the primary applicant.
Thanks

The only thing I notice is a little orage that looks unusual on the tip of the rear ducks beak. If that's not it, I don't see anything.
No, it's just the lower centimeter or so of the picture, below the beak, that I've created by cloning, the rest is as captured.
And, uh, swans, by the way. ;)

If you are a IV member living in NY and want to be actively engaged in the NY chapter activities, please send a PM to bottlemani. If all those in NY get together, it will be easier to plan joint visits to congress people: house members and senators. Even if you don't have a car, we will be able to coordinate better if we know you are willing to spare some time.
I am sure there are many members in NY. It is a big state with several businesses.
Please do remember: we have to do something more actively in order to get out of this mess. The more we procrastinate, the worse it will get. If you have suggestions, regardless of whether you live in NY, please do post them here.
As a first step, please put your name on the NY chapter.

Hi .. I am on L1 with my current employer. I applied H1B through a consultancy and my petition got approved. My current employer told me that they can transfer my approved H1B to them. Is it really possible to transfer H1B to my current employer, just by having the approved petition?
Yes transfer is possible. However your current employer's h1b petition also
needs to be approved (RFEs replied to etc).

If I'm not mistaken, PD is only linked to your I-140 receipt notice as it is specifically for labor authorization / certification.
As long as it shows on your I-140, you should be fine.

I agree. For example, in Germany, it is hard to work if you do not speak German. Also in France and all others.
And even in Scotland, they speak different English there and you need to be there for many months before you get used to it.
