All EB priority dates for July 2007 is current. Hence everyone can go for concurrent filing right away.
The scenario I have given explains how to maintain the status after getting permanent residency from both countries, so that you are eligible to apply for citizenship in both countries.
But here is the catch. Some Canadian immigration officers might not consider the commuting days towards the day count for citizenship. It solely depends on the discretion of the officer during Canadian citizenship interview.

Guys,
Don't create new thred for every single question you have.. You can find right thred and put it there..
Yes you can file for 485 even though your H1B extension is pending.
Lets use this thread for I485 and H1 Ext queries. Anil can you change the title to look like this "All I485 and H1 Ext Issues related postings here".
I also have a similar question. I've to file for 3 yr H1 ext on basis of approved I-140. Immigration-law.com says that there could be an issue with that:-
*************************************************
It is uncertain how this visa number change will affect the pending H-1B extension petitions beyond six years under 104(c) based on the approved I-140 petition. There is some chance that it may be denied. Additionally, those who need H-1B extension beyond six years and are not eligible for one-year increment extention because 360 days have not passed since the filing of labor certification or I-140 petition (labor certification waiver cases) will face a problem in extending the H-1B status. They should, however, take advantage of 245(K) benefit that makes I-485 eligible inasmuch as the unauthorized employment or unalwful status did not last more than 180 days since the latest admission to the United States. Those who can file the I-485 timely under 245(K) should cease.
***************************************
Can someone has done this earlier and can put their experience in. Please.

If this passes this will be awesome for Ph.D. graduates.
Wont make a major difference overall except take PhD out of the queue.
Anyway PhDs are very few per year. A lot of PhDs taking
faculty positions get EB1 anyway so this bill would mainly help those PhDs
with EB2

what makes sense?
it has been known for a month now that approx 60K visas would go to waste if USCIS does not spped up approvals.

Definitely an idea worth considering. Of late we hvae had too many "new members" who turn out to be 2-3 post wonders - get their questions answered and vanish without a trace. But given the subsidy mentality prelavent among our "educated and skilled" community, I doubt the idea will fly.

Actually, IMO, stocks is a loosers game. Many have tried it and have lost a "lot" of money(including myself). If you would like to make money through investments(i didn't say *stocks*), you should go with something like mutual funds and have a well diversified portfolio across different asset classes.
If you really want to get yourself into stock market investing, the best book(Holy Grail for people like Warren Buffet and many other Mutual Fund managers) to get started on is is The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. There are tons of discussion forums like morningstar.com that has discussions about finance related topics. You could also get started with Mutual Funds for Dummies, Common Sense book on Investing by John Bogle, The Intelligent Asset Allocator by Bill Bernstein etc., There are tons of other ones, but this would get you started.
But, my 2 cents, have a long term goal, educate yourself on what investing(again, I didn't say stocks) is and get started. Investing is a marathon not a sprint.
Hope this helps.
Sanjay.

Hi illinois_alum and sanjayc,
I have very similar questions except for our situation. Both me and wife have valid H-1B and H-4 and need to apply for our EAD extension (we are maintaining them in parallel). Can you suggest what should be our response to these in such case:
1. Manner of Last Entry : Should it be H-1B?
2. Current Immigration Status : H-1B? We never used EAD/AP to work or travel
6. Eligibility status: Should we just menton (c)(9) or have to add "FILED I-485" too?
Thanks for your help.

If you have left your I-140 company, that I-140 is dead. No wonder you have not heard back. It's not pending, it's cancelled. I-140 is employer based and therefore if USCIS said they were not satisfied with place of work, which reads: not enough income for the company to be able to pay you the salary declared in the I140 app. If you did not reply to their show-cause within the time frame stated, your I-140 application is deemed abandoned.
How will an I-140 gets cancelled just because he left the company. GC is for future employment, that should have nothing to do with the current employment. Same with Place of work issue, place of issue on H1 has nothing to do with I-140
As amit has suggested approaching Senators will do wonders (atleast for some)

Hi,
I am sorry to side track the topic here but I am a permanent resident of Canada and lived there for 3 years. It's beyond my words to explain how difficult it is to get a job in Canada. First of all IT jobs are less except in Toronto and Ottawa and some in Vancouver. Sometimes they don't hesitate to trash our resume in front of us which happened to me. They hate US experience. I asked when I was called for an interview why don't they believe US experience when I had worked in US. She said, "Oh well! in US, in a team of 10 software engineers only 2 or 3 are good and rest of below average but whereas in Canada it is reverse". I was appalled with the response. Anyways, I am not advocating that we shouldn't take shelter in neighbouring countries like Canada but trying to put forward the ground realities existing in Canada.

Hari.
Vivek Wadhwa spoke very nicely and hit right at the core of the EB Immigration issues and backlog. I talked to him along with my wife and told our story. I also told that lot of people like me will be opting Canada or Australia or even go back to India if the EB Immigration issues are not fixed. If US doesn't fix its Immigration Policies for Skilled Immigrants then they go back to their home countries or other contries who know their worth. This is our most productive age and we won't waste it.
I will try finding the recording of the show and post it here.

I am also planning on changing location from one state to another but the job is still with the same company (just moving to a different branch). My lawyer said it will not affect my GC but I have to get a new LCA for my H1. I still do not understand how this will not affect my GC (I have a approved 140 and waiting to file 485). Is there a way this is possible like if the labor is filed from the corporate office and has nothing do with branch locations?
I just want to make sure it is safe before I move.
Any help is appreciated.

I agree.
This database could be used to find out the percentage of successful labor applications filed on behalf of a particular organization.
However, I hope they are not using Microsoft Access for their actual system. If that is the infrastructure they have then we already have answers for the long GC wait ;-)
This is useful, but I doubt its accuracy because some of the cases I know - including mine - are missing !!

Hello
My story is:
I've been on J2 for a while, it expires in May 2011. I have a EAD and currentlt I'm working for a company as a professional.I have a 5 years of Bs degree.
Questions are:
1. Can my employer apply for a Perm Cert for me if they want.
Yes.
2. After getting the perm cert. can my employer file I 140 under EB3 for me?
Yes.
3. Will I be eligible for premium processing for I 140 application, in 15 days?
I-140 premium processing was suspended and then resumed again only for some H1-B status holders last year. I do not know if USCIS removed the restrictions. If not, then you would not be eligible since you are not on H1-B.
4. Lets say all the above steps are accomplished and I got approved for I 140, all happened prior to May 2011 (this is the actual date my J visa and EAD expires).
a. Then I'll still be working with my current EAD, right?
Depends. J-visa status requires non-immigration intent. I do not know if submission (and approval) of I-140 constitutes expressing immigration intent. If yes, then your status would cease and your J-2 EAD will not remain valid. Ask an immigration lawyer.
b. Then what happens after May 2011?
Unless you have some other VISA that would allow you to stay in the US, you need to leave US.
c. DO I need to wait to file I 485 or can I file it right after my I 140 approved?
You cannot file I-485 until your priority date -- the date when your employer submitted labor certification petition --- becomes "current" (i.e., the month when Department of State's published cut-off date for EB3 goes after your priority date). Currently EB3 cut-off date is 22APR03. So plan on waiting for about 10 years or more.
d. how can I legally work in the USA after my EAD from J visa expires, but if I have approved I 140.
thank you very much
No. You cannot even stay in US unless you have some other VISA that would allow you to stay in US.

Take the offer on EAD as you are now legally eligible to do.
In the unlikely event that something happens to your 485, you could then approach the program and ask them to do a H1 visa for you, otherwise you would have to leave the program. They would likely not risk losing GME funding.
Nowadays getting a good fellowship has gotten rather difficult, I'd consider taking the small risk involved.
Consult a good attorney to get their professional advise.

Correct - None is the answer! My law firm (Fragomen) didnt ask for them when they submitted my docs on JUly 2. Maybe they are needed if the USCIS comes back with an RFE.
I think if your case is pretty straight forward, there should be no problem without W2. What's the point to have it anyway? Some people do not even work for the petition employer since GC is for a future job. Right?

The fees keep changing and should be checked on the website of your nearest Canadian Consulate/Embassy.
Since now CAD is greater in value than USD, CAD fees will go up. Please see link below from Canadian Consulate Buffalo of various fees in US $. PLEASE SEND THE FEES LISTED HEREIN.
