Thank you very much for your reply. Just wanted to know what is "LPR"?
LPR = "Lawful Permanent Residence" = green card holder.
the whole reason we are in this multi-year circus!

I do not have personal experience with Fragomen; however I have heard that it is the large immigration law firm in the country.
The only problem (as far as I know) with them is that your PERM WILL be audited (according to DOL memo). This may lead to delays (and god only knows how long...)
Most people on this forum know this fact; I mentioned it as you appear to be the novice player...
Good Luck

I talked to an attorney and they said its best to file for AC21. i want to file it but am not sure if i should take attorneys help (and pay them) in filing this or just work with the new employer to do it.
what happens if we don;t file and they later change rules around this, we never know.
Thanks.

A former member of the Bosnian Serb Army has left the U.S. to return to Serbia after a federal judge ordered his denaturalization based on concealment during his application for U.S. citizenship that he served in the military during the Bosnian war.
What is Denaturalization ? Denaturalization is the reverse of naturalization, when a state deprives one of its citizens of his or her citizenship. From the point of view of the individual, denaturalization means "revocation" or "loss" of citizenship. Denaturalization can be based on various legal justifications. The most severe form is the "stripping of citizenship" when denaturalization takes place as a penalty for actions considered criminal by the state, often only indirectly related to nationality, for instance for having served in a foreign military. In countries that enforce single citizenship, voluntary naturalization in another country will lead to an automatic loss of the original citizenship; the language of the law often refers to such cases as "giving up one's citizenship" or (implicit) renunciation of citizenship.
In this case Jadranko Gostic, 47, a former resident of St. Petersburg, Fla., departed the United States on June 1, 2010. U.S. District Court Judge James Moody in Tampa, Fla., ordered his denaturalization on May 26, 2010.
Gostic was indicted in December 2006 on one count of unlawful procurement of citizenship and one count of making false statements. In January 2010, a civil complaint was filed against Gostic alleging illegal procurement of U.S. citizenship and requesting his denaturalization. Court documents allege that Gostic served in the Zvornik Infantry Brigade of the Bosnian Serb Army from April 1992 until December 1995. According to court documents, international tribunals have found that some units of the Zvornik Brigade engaged in war crimes and crimes against humanity, and that they participated in the July 1995 action against the Srebrenica enclave during which some 8,000 Muslim men and boys were executed.

You must have applied 120 days in advance or many days in advance before old AP expiry. USCIS issues AP from the date it was approved so you tend to lose some months. I have heard some other members include a cover letter which says AP start date should be from date of expiry of old AP. Since you already got the document, I doubt you can do much about it. You may lose 2-3 months just trying send it back and requesting it to be corrected. I guess next time when you renew keep the cover letter in mind.
Not necessarly true. Last time when I renewed the AP, it was approved from 2 days prior to intended travel date specified in the application for 1 year. I am not sure what can be done about this 9 months thing.. hopefully other members will pitch in with experience.

I think it is apparent that people on this forum are frustrated with media representation and lack of understanding of the problems that our group, and those that we represent, face.
Without wishing to get into general political debates, it is probably a fair assumption that American citizens who are actively part of grassroots activism would be concerned about our situation if they knew about it.
There is a voice in numbers, and I believe it might be a good idea to reach out to organizations such as www.indymedia.com (http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml). This is a main hub, there are various regional versions of the organization.
Just another thought on how to publicize our issues.

Please update your profile..
Here are the answers:
1. No, you can not change the profile and should look for something which is similar to what was stated on your I-140.
2. You can switch to a new job provided your I-485 is pending for more then 180 days, which seems to be the case and the new job is similar to what is on I-140.
NOTE: NO, you can not switch from IT to finance. I mean you can but if you receive any RFE then you will have a big issue.
I am currently working as a Functional Solution Architect in an IT firm.
Current Status: H1B (6th year)
GC status as follows:
Priority Date: April 2007
EAD received: October 2007
I-140 is approved.
Under the AC21 portability I believe I can change my employer without affecting my GC process. However I want to change my field of work from IT to Finance. My question is:
1. Is that permissible and can I use my EAD to work for a new employer in a different field.
2. If the above is not permissible and If I change my job in the same field, can my previous employer cancel my GC process, even though my I-140 is approved. If they can, how can I mitigate that possibility.
Thanks in advance for your response.

what about if one changes jobs on AC-21 and then gets married and later wants to file 485 for wife?
Is anything needed from the old employer?She is not getting married to your employer?:D No, nothing is needed from employer for dependent filing. He/she is your dependent - that's it. Just show that you filed I-485 and show relation between you.

Two reasons why this will take long time;
1. Multiple languages spoken in EU. Outside England, everybody prefers conversation in their native language. This will be big barrier for english speaking asian community.
2. UK did this experiment and failed. A lot of Doc's left UK to US, Canada and Australia.
So I won't suggest anyone to venture into EU. US is still the best place for foriengers and immigrants.

Sorry to hijack your thread but I didnt want to start multiple threads on the same issue, along similar lines where can I find the actual law on H1B portability on I 140.
I have a offer but the immigration dept of the company says it cannot be done so I need to send them some documentation.
thanks

Immigration Visa Attorney Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
The Barack Obama Administration recently announced that border guards at United States Ports of Entry (POE) will begin screening aliens arriving from certain countries based on specific information about threats to the USA. The immigration attorneys at Los Angeles' Fong & Chun immigration law firm are advocates for national security balanced against sensible protections for civil rights. We hope this change will reduce the number of unwarranted, unreasonable, and (usually) unfriendly challenges to certain arriving visitors.
Since the New York terrorist attack in September 2001, the USA has maintained a list of approximately fourteen countries (the so-called "group of fourteen") which are considered to encourage state-sponsored terrorism, or which are believed to provide assistance to terrorists. The US would not even officially name the specific countries, or confirm the exact number of countries, on the list. All citizens of one of these countries -- of any gender, any age, any social class, any educational level, for any reason -- would be subjected to additional interrogation by US Border Guards.
The newly-announced change sets up a system which uses intelligence information and threat assessment -- about specific persons, specific targets, and specific descriptions, to identify passengers who might have a link to terrorism. Quite properly, those persons would be subjected to additional scrutiny. Others who do not meet the more reasoned threat profiles would be allowed to enter the USA in the way of other visitors.
For example: most people in the know would say that the Islamic Republic of Iran was part of the group of fourteen. All citizens from Iran -- absolutely all -- would be pulled aside and interrogated at POEs. Under the new system, if the US has specific information about a 26-year old male Iranian student, or an Iranian woman with a certain name, or even someone with a partial passport number, then persons meeting those descriptions will be pulled aside. This allows border guards to focus their efforts on persons about whom the USA has specific threat-related information. --jcf

Nobody can file I-485 before their PD is current.
You need to wait 4+7 years to file I-485.
Till that point, you need to maintain a legal status here.

This is wrong. If you go out of USA and come back after a gap of 1 year, then only u will get full 6 years. Other wise whatever your status is ( as L1, B1 etc ) that will count into H1 period
As far as I know B1 wont count against H1 time, though L1 will.
L2 and H4 used to count, but they were decoupled at the end of 2006, and time spent in those status dont count against your H1.
