My friend had applied for GC through B (never worked, PD-2004/EB2, 140 approved and 485 more than 6 months) and he was continuing with company A on H1B.
Company A was laying him off. He tried to go to company B. But Company B was getting folded.
He went out and got a better offer from company C. He had two choice. Apply H1B transfer from A to C or use AC21.
He chose to use AC21 and started with C. Lawyer explained the situation with AC21 info to USCIS.
Now the best part. HE GOT GC last month.

How long will it take to get a green card in this category with a PD in 2008?
Will it be better to find another Job and go EB2? My H1b started in Oct 2007.

For those worried about not being able to live in the UK, I say "Don't worry, you are not missing a great deal".
I have lived & worked in UK for a couple of years many years back. Like most of my acquaintances at that time I didn't (want to) live there long. Most of my friends left for US, I returned to India. And then to US.
Life is US has its problems, the immigration backlog is one of them. But it is really a walk in the park compared to that in Britain. UK is one of the most racist society I have ever seen. There is racism in all countries (even in India, we call it Casteism) but no where as overt as in UK. In UK, the work culture isn't all that great, life is boring and the weather sucks. No wonder a recent investigation by BBC reported that 7 out of 10 Britons now prefer to live outside UK mainly because it's high cost of living, lack of livable space and for little more sunshine. And that number is growing every year. In % terms, that's the highest number and in absolute terms it is the 3rd highest expat population of any country, only India & China ranks higher. Britons now prefer the sunny & more livable places such as Spain (culture), Australia (language) and Florida (proximity).
When I left UK, it was with relief. Now when I visit UK on work or enroute to other countries, I feel sorry for the folks back there. I would any day prefer living in India - if not in US - than living in UK.

If we were able to get the 3 year visa rather than 1 year extensions, then the main problem that the BEC give us in a practical sense is that if we change jobs we loss our priority dates.
So while the slow processing is an administration issue, the law could allow for priority dates to be kept something like this:
"If a labor application has been pending for longer than [some time] then as of [some date], the applicant immigrant is able to keep the priority date of the original labor application whether or not the application is later withdrawn or disapproved."
This in combination with 3 year extensions would give people freedom to either refile for PERM with same employer or move jobs and file for PERM with a new employer.
----
Another solution would be to allow DoL to accept a large fee for premium processing. Making the fee large would have the effect of not too many using it and thus not overwhelming DoL, but it also might generate sufficient income to apply more resources to the remaining outstanding applications, and benefiting all while being practical.

Please comment.

In my opinion - with a Apr10 AP expiry date, getting a Schengen until Apr20 may not be possible. Unless the consulate wants to be nice to you! :)

clif, I wouldn't worry too much regarding the interview. Just take the latest paystubs, Employment letter from your new employer and all the evidence that you have to prove that you have been legally maintaining status in the country. Since you have already submitted medical exam results you don't need to take them with you.
They usually just send a standard letter without checking any items in the list.

Regarding "how soon can you go for stamping"
Depends on the consulate. Mumbai consulate allows you to go for stamping 90 days prior to start of your extension. In your case if your extension starts on 1st October 2010, you can go for stamping as early as 5th July 2010. Since you are expecting to receive the extension by August you can go for stamping as soon as you receive it.
I would recommend dropping a mail to VFS and asking this question for the consulate you are interested in.

HI,
I recently booked an appointment for visiting visa for my parents through vfs, during the process , I first entered my Dad's details and then his ds 156, then It asked if I wanted to add additional family members, then I entered my Mom's details and her ds 156 . After that it asked for my Mom's ds 157 and never showed my Dad's ds 157.
So the final list of documents it generated was :
Dad's ds 156, Mom's ds 156,157 , interview letter.
Is this correct, does my dad need ds 157 and interview letter or is 1 ds 157 and interview letter enough ?
Thank you for your time.

I think that it was a trial balloon. I have seen this pattern for most of the major issues this administration is planning to tackle. Take TARP for example...for a month one would just hear leaks about proposed solutions. Media would pick it up and give a reaction, the next leak would be an updated version based on the feedback. Such articles help keep the issue in the forefront, help gauge the reaction (both positive and negative) and provide a simple exit to backtrack incase of major opposition. :rolleyes:

I did get an LUD on my approved I-140 which i am not using for Adjustment of status. I have applied I-140 and I-485 concurrently through a different employer. I am really surprised what caused to trigger LUD on that I-140. I am not asking for priority date port either. Interesting.....

You can change jobs ONLY if BOTH the following conditions are met.
1) I-140 is approved AND
2) I-485 has been pending for MORE than 180 days.
EAD has NOTHING to do with it.

After a long journey on several non immigrant visa's my GC finally got approved. The questions that I would like to throw out for the group to think on is regarding the period for which one has to keep all the H1/H4 approval notices and supporting documents?
In my case, I have been here for 10 years and have a 15 pound folder that has all the approval notices (I-797) and supporting documents (copies of I-129, transcripts, everything under the sun)
I would hate to have to carry this for the rest of my life.
Lawyers - Your legal opinion would provide relief to my aching shoulders :)

Hi,
I have an EAD (over a year now since I-140 approved), but never used it. Now, that Iam planning to switch my employer I have some questions about using EAD
1. Is it Mandatory to file AC21? No
2. Is AC21 required for each contract switch ? (Suppose Contract is W2), if so, wouldnt that be hard and expensive to file for every 3 or 6 months projects? "contract". You are doomed. GC is for "permanant full time" offer. So, new job based on AC21 should also be "permanant full time". If USCIS knows that you are working on a cotracr for a short term; wait for 485 denial notice.
3. Can I work on 1099? 1099 is a self-employed catagory. You can still use AC21, and self employed. Refer USCIS memos regarding AC21 and self employment.
Thanks in Advance....

From what I read in the article they are talking about chaging 'the place of incorporation' from Bermuda to Ireland to avoid paying higher taxes through the proposed tax legislation ...dosent't talk about relocating all operations to Ireland
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124338175183056465.html
Accenture is one of the big US consulting companies. They are moving to Ireland , as Mr President is trying to making Tax laws to stop outsourcing.
Looks like IBM would be the next to follow.
