You are from ROW....here are some things to consider....
Is your new employer filing your GC under EB-2? If the answer is yes, then you should definitely take the new job and re-file GC and not worry about your EB-3 perm that is pending.
If your new employer is going to file under EB-3, then you have to evaluate which job is better for you (as far as pay, position etc.). If you think the new job is much better than what you have now, then I think you should still go for it. Your PD is very recent and a PD of Aug 2007 and a PD of (say) Feb/Mar 2008 has approximately the same value (according to me).
You have a valid H-1B until June 2009 and since you will apply for your perm LC before June 2008, you are eligible for atleast 1 year H-1B renewals.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Mine was an e-filing. However my FP scheduling was quite weird.
I had my FP scheduled for 11/13
but my Card Production was Ordered on 11/12
I still went ahead and gave my FP on 11/13.
Thanks gc28262.
Is there anyone who e-filed their EAD renewal at TSC during May time frame. It would be helpful if you can tell me how long it took for approval. TIA.

The credits are based on the amount of your earnings. We use your work history to determine your eligibility for retirement or disability benefits or your family�s eligibility for survivors benefits when you die.
In 2006, you receive one credit for each $970 of earnings, up to the maximum of four credits per year.
Each year the amount of earnings needed for credits goes up slightly as average earnings levels increase. The credits you earn remain on your Social Security record even if you change jobs or have no earnings for a while.

I have been waiting since April 2001 for LC EB3 (India) and 4 weeks ago my Attorney calls me up tells me to see him ASAP.So i think Recruitment Instructions finally (LC was filed TR).
Wrong it turns out it is a Analysts Review and they come up with 3 problems:-
1. Job description 2 restrictive and tailored to applicants education and experience.
2. Applicant cannot claim job experience with same employer for job titled offered.
3. Wage is too low,currently making $54.00 an hour,they want $92.00 an hour.
So after addressing the job description and job experience issues and finally get my employer to agree to wage issues and we fax the paper work before the deadline.Have not heard a single thing for close to 5 weeks now.
Are any of you guys having problems with this issue and if so how long after did you get RI.If i dont get LC certified by end of 2007 i think any body with 2003 or earlier PD should file a class action lawsuit against DOL.
Also what happened to DOLs promise to start a date processing guideline,which was supposed to start 1st December 2006,so we would now if it was worthwhile to change from TR to RIR.

The White House has put up a fact sheet. Reason I came across it is because Google groups it together with our press releases when returning results. This fact sheet states twice that the bill will eliminate existing EB backlogs. Do they know something we don't?
http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070531-19.html
3. The Bill Will Eliminate The Current Application Backlog For Employment-Based Visas And Make 380,000 Green Cards Available Under The Merit-Based System - Up From 140,000 Employment-Based Visas Available Today.
Once The Backlogs Of Employment-Based Applicants And Family-Based Applicants Are Cleared, There Will Be 380,000 Green Cards Available Under The Merit-Based System - Up From 140,000 Employment-Based Green Cards Today. The bill makes 247,000 green cards immediately available under the merit-based system each year for the first five years after enactment.
Also, check out the sample points assignments at the end of the fact sheet.

Do not worry about RFE on AP. I was and am in the same situation (NSC->CSC->TSC) . ND was Sep 19; got my EAD; RFE on AP (for me & flmy) & no FP. RFE was asking to submit all copies of I-94's ever issued to be, proof of relationship (birth , marriage cert). Yest , on the website saw that our AP was approved :D.
For the FP notice, called them & managed to speak with an IO. She advised me to wait for 60 dyas after the 485 ND.
How did you respond to your RFE?.. Did you have copies of all of your I -94 ?.. Please let me know...

From what I understand, if you have an H1b extended based on your Labor or I140 approval, if your I485 is denied, all applications/extensions based on your Adjustment of Status also expire.
From the lawyers' perspective, all of them promoting H1bs is more a business push than a 'favorable situation for the applicant' push.
Most EAD/AP applications/renewals are now filed by applicants directly, whereas H1Bs go thru the lawyers.
But keeping the moolah part aside, why would an EAD be invalid whereas a H1b be valid, when both are based on the Green Card application?
Because there are no clear regulations around what happens to H1 if I-485 gets denied. But there are existing regulations that EAD becomes invalid. So being on H1 gives you an edge. You will not able to extend/transfer H1 but there is no effect on existing approved h1.
Also even if you use EAD you can actually get back on H1 status without being counted against the quota as long as your I-485 is pending. But you will need to go out and get H1 stamped and re-enter. In this particular case, since father was primary applicant he could have sponsored new H1 w/o I-94 and get it stamped and re-enter. Not sure why lawyer did not suggest that.

this number has been thrown around a lot
per uscis as of July 27 they had 75K pieces of mail
so maybe 125K applications including families.
this will increase a bit, so let's say 175K or 200K
still quite different from 700K

Folks, the key is here to articulate the interests and educate lawmakers on why amelioration and terminal relief is required. Walking out of workplaces does not reflect the value that legal immigrants bring to the economy. What's needed is a pithy powerful message on why it is important to support those who are in the legal line for immigrating to the USA> We dont seek it as an entitlement, nor do we seek social promotion. Our goal is to get what is available per current policy. We must highlight the pain we face ...
Talking about aalking out of work places might make one feel good and 'in control'. Reality is, you are only jeopardizing your job, career and goodwill. An illegal who is fired can 'melt away' and find another job. Are you willing to risk it all and leave the country? For one day of protest, in a form and manner that befits a 20th century mentality?
If we have to make ourselves heard with RESPECT and RECOGNITION, our actions must merit these values. We cannot bleed by a hundred cuts and expect to find what we need.
Let us get non emotional about this, collect DATA and present it OBJECTIVELY through repeated messaging. Positioning, timing and delivery is key.
Walking out of work on Oct 24 is NOT the answer, IMHO.

IMHO.. Its better to resolve the out-of-status issues before U file for 485. Please consult a good attorney.
If things are cleared out, its a smooth sailing for U since U are from EB2 ROW. Since U are planning to marry, its better to marry and then file for 485. U donno sometimes USCIS goes into an approval frenzy, U might get U'r GC approved soon and thus U'r wife might have to wait for yrs to get GC. If U'r wife comes to US before U'r GC approval, its a different story as explained by glus.

this is in response to some who say what if India does this and that ...the point is that India will do nothing. In general we have passive leaders and our PM is a great example of that - if it was done against china then immediately there would have retaliation. in some ways it is good if it stops the misuse ...I guess the biggest losers in this are the lawyers - more lawyer shops will close down

So many bills are introduced but most don't even see day of light.. I personally don't see this ever passing the congress.. For most treaty countries this feature is already available and its called E1/E2 visa.. There is no limit on number of people and number years for visa.
Exactly, many bills are introduced, but >80% of them do not come out of the committees. If the bill has support form a large number of legislators then it has a chance! Besides Lugar and Kerry who else supports this bill?
