Hi ,
my experience with O visa is that paperwork, presentation, previous track record of the lawyer with USCIS is critical
so in this case, absorbing the 5000 cost difference may be a good idea
Of course you can always ask your employer if they are willing to take that hit but as you know you have a 50 % chance there at the best
So decision is yours

Hello Madam/Sir,
I have applied in EB2-NIW category and filed I485 concurrently during July-August 2007 season. My wife also did the same to maximize the chance. Both of our I140 were approved recently.
Now, we have two sets of I485 pending (in one, I am the primary applicant, my wife is the dependent and in other, she is the primary applicant and I am the dependent). We both are doing job in the same company in the same position. Since we are from India, it will take probably a long time before our I485s get approved. Since the economical sitatution is not well in recent time, we planned to keep both I485 active in case something unforeseen happen to one of us; so that the other set of application will still be active.
We recently got a RFE for our birth certificate/parentage information. We have got birth certifactes from Indian Consulate, affidavifits from our mothers (since mothers name was not included in original birth certificate) and letters from our schools.
Since we were not sure whose EB2-NIW application would be approved, we kept both sets of I485 application active. Now, we were wondering if there is a problem in having multiple I485 pending at USCIS (of course they are related to differenet I-140). We would like to know if it is better to withdraw one set of application at this point. Is there any risk of cancellation of both I485 due to multiple submission?
Your answers/views will be highly helpful for us. Please reply.
Thank you so much, in advance.

hi:
PD 2001..got labor certfied online on June28 2007
I have been waiting for the hard copy..so my Hr called Dol and asked whether they have mailed. The Dol officer sent the Cover letter by email (first page of whole approved package) to company HR showing the certification . She also told HR that cover letter was enough for I140 filing.
Is it true? Please let me know.
DB
It is not true.
This is printed in the I-140 instructions(page 3):
General Evidence.
Labor certification. Petitions for certain classifications must be filed with a certification from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Copies.
If these instructions state that a copy of a document may be filed with this petition and you choose to send us the original, we may keep that original for our records. Copies may be submitted of all documentation with the exception of the Labor Certification which must be submitted in the original.

his GC is approved, before he leaves the country take an infopass appointment and get I551 stamp on his passport for him to be able to reenter the country. if he will be out of the country for more than 6 months he might need a reentry permit as well.
the card will come when it will.

Taxes are paid on earned money only. Not loans.
If your spouse takes a student loan in USA, there are other advantages though. He/she can claim student loan deduction on the taxes !! Not sure your Indian bank would provide the necessary forms to you or if they have a legal obligation to submit anything to IRS here.

1. I got my H1B extended while I am here in US. After going back to India, are there any issues in getting the visa revalidated, since an immigration petition has been filed on my behalf?
--This should not be a problem, since the H1-B is a dual-intent visa
2. Is H1-B extension based on I-140 possible when not in US?
--Yes. Moreover, if you are in India for a year or more, your 6-year clock starts again.
HTH.

It has become quite a hassle to obtain a California state driver's license or state identification card ("ID") when you are a non-immigrant such as in F, M, or J status (students, students in vocational schools, cultural exchange students). Recently Immigration Customs and Enforcement issued a fact sheet on applying for a driver's license or ID card for non immigrants in F, M or J status. (http://www.californiaimmigrationlawyerblog.com/Applying%20for%20a%20Driver%27s%20License.pdf). The fact sheet is helpful as it provides basic information on how to apply for a driver's license or ID card. It is not state specific but it does list all of the websites for all of the Department of Motor Vehicle offices in the United States.
The steps in applying for a driver's license or ID card in California are listed on the California Department of Motor Vehicles website (http://www.dmv.ca.gov/dl/checklists/id.htm). You must do the following in this order:
Obtain a Social Security number
Complete a Driver License or Identification Card Application
Present an acceptable birth date/legal presence document
Pay the application fee
In order to obtain a Social Security number, you must go to a local Social Security office. You may find out more about the process on the Social Security Administration's website (http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/). For those in F, M, and J status, you will find additional guidance by reviewing Social Security's electronic fact sheet, "Social Security numbers for non-citizens. (http://www.ssa.gov/pubs/10096.html#3)"
The fact sheet issued by ICE is useful because it provides an email address to use in case the DMV does not issue the driver's license or identification card. It has been difficult in the past to get the immigration authorities to communicate with the DMV about a person's immigration status. In the fact sheet, ICE promises a one-to-two day turn around once they receive a request for information as to why a student's ID or driver's license was not issued. This is great news as students have suffered a great deal of frustration in the past waiting for the agencies to communicate with one another.

Very Tricky situation.
I was in the same situation only thing is that for me it was the same employer.
So.. I assume you can go before June 30th so you can re-enter US if you are in US.
If you are planning to go to Canada.. You can call the consulate ( that is what i did ) Just a suggestion...

Any one can update this thread please?

Group,
This morning I saw a commercial (California Group Blames Immigrants for Climate Change) (http://www.triplepundit.com/2009/11/california-group-blames-immigrants-for-climate-change/)on the local Bay Area channel and was simply surprised, I mean out of words surprised.
I cannot believe how low these anti-immigrant groups can and will go to push their point, which obviously is nothing but full of BS, but it certainly adds fuel to the fire.
fueling the fire, but they better make sure the fire drivesoff the right monsters , the illegals.

I-485 Filled: July 2007
I have a new job offer and the employer is willing to sponsor my GC in EB2 category. The job requires BS+5 years experience which I have.
Question: If the old employer revokes my I-140 before the new employer files new PERM and I-140 under EB2 category, can I still port my EB3 priority date to EB2?

I just got my labor approved for Masters degree and 3 years exp.
I have 3 years B.Sc degree and 3 years MCA degree from India and my education eval. shows it as equivalent to MS in computer Science.
In form ETA 750, under section 14, I have following data
College degree required:
Master of Science
Major field of study
Comp Sci/Engg,Info Sys Engg
Experience
3 years
Other fields under section 14 and 15 are blank.
RIR Advertisement has mentioned following
" Must have MS in Computer Science or Engineering, Information Systems Engineering or foreign degree equivalent with 3 years of relevant work experience."
I am little confused about "College degree required:" field. It only says "Master of Science". Should it be "Master of Science Or foreign equivalent"?

You have to choose the option - Re-issue of passport.
Fresh Passport is in case your passport expired 6 months back or more.
Fill the form, print it, fill the rest of the applicable details in ink and send it.
As you are already sending your old passport along, it is not that big of a deal.
