I heard that GC is for a future position. If this is the case, can labor, I-140 and I-485 be filed for a person and this person join the company after labor, I-140 and I-485 have been approved? The person will join the same position mentioned in the labor cert with salary >= the labor petition.

Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has successfully carried out a crusade against the fraud and deception of "immigration consultants" who take advantage of unknowing and vulnerable immigrants. At a recent media conference, Cuomo indicated that his office is seeking civil remedies, at least initially against those involved in immigration assistance fraud because the first goal is to get restitution for victims. http://www.ag.ny.gov/media_center/2010/mar/mar1a_10.html
The latest victory in the fight against immigration fraud and victimization was announced by Cuomo's office on March 1, 2010. The Attorney Generals' Office has won a court judgment of more than $3 million against a "consultant" in Queens who has targeted and defrauded immigrants. In this case, the "consultant" routinely charged a retainer of $7,000 with fees often reaching up to $15,000 per person for the promise of permanent residence. The consultant wrongly claimed that she could get permanent resident status through alleged relationships with government officials. Of course, the services were never performed and the consultant routinely refused to give refunds or return documents.
As a result of Cuomo's lawsuit, the New York Supreme Court has ordered the consultant to pay full restitution to 37 families who came forward and demonstrated that they were defrauded by this consultant. An additional $2.7 million in penalties was imposed for engaging in the unauthorized practice of law and misrepresentation of services that could be performed. The consultant is also permanently restricted directly and indirectly from engaging in the business of immigration-related services.
Over the past several months, other consultants have been shut down and active investigations continue. The fight to end this blight on immigrant communities in New York City and State continues and serves as an example for all who are committed to fighting immigration fraud and the unauthorized practice of law.

My wife's green card was approved on Feb 27th. My wife is currently in India with valid Advance Parole. I received her green card during March 15th. I am planning to visit India during June and bringing my wife along with me. It will be almost 5 months when I come back on July 1st week.
Will it create problem for my wife to re-enter to US? Since she has valid AP and GC card, can she enter without any problem? or does she need to come early since her GC was received ?

Friends,
I am in the 8th year of H1b and I have been juggling this idea of changing my job because of a sucking work environment. I have Eb3 labor(it was applied in eb3 even though my job required and i had the eb2 experience) approved and 140 approved so can I get 3 year extension by changing my job or do you suggest to first get 3 year extension and then change, in which case will I still get 3 year extension is the question.
After job change can I use old PD ? Can I apply EB2 perm after changing job ?
I know these are testing times for many of us but i will appreciate your ideas and responses.

You have to find a consulting company who have already finished all the ads and recruitment work and ready to file for PERM for someone. In this case, you can get along with this person and apply for the labor. This is very tricky as you have to find a position which meets your skills.
If you find one, don't wait to prepare for 485. Get ready everything ASAP in that case.

Hi
I am transferring my H1 to a firm on full time basis(not consulting company, product based). Currently I am on a project with A and I am going to transfer my H1 to B (which is 6 yrs old, american based company). I have pay slips from past 4 months, and I was on bench for 2 months where I didnt get my pasylips. For transfer I gave my past 4 months pay slips.
I have 2 questions here.
1) With company A, my LCA was not accurate. My LCA was of NY state & I am working in NJ.
Will this create any issue for my H1 transfer with company B which is VA and they have got the approved LCA.
2) Will there be any issue with my 2 months pay slips (which are of July & Aug). Right now I have submitted my H1 transfer with past 4 months payslips (Sep,Oct, Nov & Dec).
Please advice, I will really appreciate your suggestions on this ASAP.
Thanks

For me EB3 PD date doesn't mean anything because EB2 PD is current. I believed you may retain your PD if you got your I-140 approved.
do you know if you can retain your PD from your eb3 application for your new application..

total time in labor with news paper advt and all buffer is 6-8 months. I140 take another 2 weeks in premium processing. so in all 9months approx. that should give further extension on H1b.
Also even if previous I140 is revoked, you can have your PD attached to this new labor during I140 application.
good luck.

I actually did get a H-1B extension once based on the fact that the spouse (also H-1B) had an approved I-140 priority date that was backlogged. It was an unusual approval, and surprised the other attorneys (including partners) where I was working. It's not guaranteed, but worth a try if there is no other option to work.
wow! thank you - this is really helpful.
My spouse is still on h1b and we will definitely try for this. Do you think the extension would be affected by the priority date (higher chances of approval if severely retrogressed) - or if theres something like a memo/ruling/logic for the approval, or is it just random chance?
Also in case the motion is declined, does it lead to a future (negative) impact on either a fresh h1b filing, or green card application or such?
Thank you!

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Just when we thought it was safe to go back in the immigration waters again. Transparency, we were promised it. One year into the new administration, however, it remains an elusive concept. That is it did, until yesterday. Yesterday, I saw a poster at the CIS that revealed exactly how the agency views immigration lawyers. It was a poster of small fish in the water being stalked by a large shark. I walked past it and literally did a comic book like double take.
Underneath in comparatively small letters there is a caption that warns people to protect themselves against those who are not authorized to help them. There was no indication or explanation, however, of what that could mean, other than the picture of giant shark.
The subliminal message was both clear and offensive. I dare the agency to say I am reading too much into it. Google �metaphors and similes.� Nine times out of ten the definition includes a lawyer shark comparison/example. Couple this with the daily reports we receive where our clients are told �why do you have a lawyer, your lawyer knows nothing.�
Contrary to the government�s implication, however, immigration lawyers are not predatory. The bulk of immigration lawyers I know, and I know a lot of them, literally agonize over the fates of their clients. They spend hours upon hours trying to assist them through a labyrinth of inconsistent rules, regulations (when we actually get them) and guidance.
AILA works hard to combat immigration fraud and the unauthorized practice of law. It also does all it can to educate 15,000 immigration lawyers about both the law and ethics.
I agree that immigrants need to be wary of perpetrators of immigration fraud. The government, however, should warn of the true predators - those practicing law without a license. Its posters should identify who those individuals are and provide warnings or information calculated to educate about unscrupulous practices. Simply, a broad statement below an icon typically used to vilify attorneys does nothing of the sort.
I am not sure how to depict the government�s purported message in its elaborate seascape. Perhaps a tidal wave depicting millions being thrown back indiscriminately on foreign shores or a lamprey latched onto an unsuspecting gentle manatee. I need to think about it. I take metaphors seriously as they �are dangerous and are not to be trifled with.� Please remove the posters immediately.

The silence from those of us not affected by the green card process who are legal immigrants is annoyingly deafening. The entire economy has picked up now and yet legislation takes forever to pass!
What does it take for lawmakers to turn their heads? People holding placcards and signs on streets protesting? Is that the only way to have something heard? Obviously, written articles such as these isn't helping!
Dear Vatsa,
I'll tell you what it takes.
It takes strength, both in membership and money. And the former helps bring the latter.
Please help introduce a member to IV by Jan 15th. Help create our own voice (to break the annoying silence that you talk about).
Encourage others to participate in the Add ONE Member campaign started by IV.
Thank you.

please fix your profile, it helps others and helps you get right answers too given everything is context sensitive.
I did contemplate not filing for AP and keeping h1 and infact planned to get stamping; but after long thoughts i let it go. I figured not filing AP is not worth the risk.
IMO you should get AP and then travel, you sure can go for h1 stamping.
