Thanks for your reply.
The only problem is that she started working from Jan 2008. From Oct 2007 to Dec 2007 she was not working. So I donot have her W2 and neither the paystubs. I do have the joint tax return that I filed in 2007, but that does not have her income. Is it possible to say that she was on leave during this period for personnel reason?

Hi everyone,
I really need somebody's advice on what to do next. Here is some info:
Im holding F-1 Visa, currently on OPT status until 08/2011. Filed I-140 in August 2010 as EB1 extraordinary ability - athletics.
My achievements in athletics:
1. Been in sport for 10 years.
2. Member of the National team 2003-2006.
3. Member of the University team 2006-2010.
4. Many times National Champion and prize winner of my own country.
5. Participant of World Cups and hold medals of European Championships.
6. Published in local, regional and some National newspapers at home and some local newspapers here in States.
Many others to go, but those are the major ones.
Did premium processing, got Intend to Deny. Submitted more paperwork, got denial in November 2010.
All this time had a lawyer, paid a lot of money, but as you can see, it didnt quite work out. He claimed to be a professional in this field. Never got denials before.
USCIS critique:
1. Membership in the national team is not sustained from 2006, therefore it doesnt count.. (But, I was here in states all those years, couldnt travel because was in school, plus I have a letter from a President of Athletic Federation for my sport, saying that according to my results that I showed while here in States, I would be the member easily all these years). Overall, USCIS didnt find membership in the National team to be extraordinary..
2. Some national publications are too short, there has to be a huge article about me. In regional newspapers I have huge articles, but newspapers are considered not major (however, they are professional)
Out of all criteria, they only approved one - national award. Membership and publications are not meeting the criteria. I had about 250 pages of supporting documentation.
I am very upset and dont know what to do. I am afraid to hire the lawyer, because all of them say that my case is pretty good, but we already lost a lot of money for nothing. I do not want to repeat the same mistake. My Lawyer suggested appealing the decision, but it would cost me about 15,000 more and about several years o processing. I just do not have such money and time.
I have decided to reapply and need some advice on how to go about it. I will be a self petitioner, luckily there is no employer offer needed. I may hire some lawyer, but if it is not too expensive - I need the one that knows what he is doing.
I would greatly appreciate any information. Thanks.

Dear Friend,
I filed 485 in June with eb3 . In December, I filed another I-140-EB2 with the same company. My attorney said she filed the second 140 with the request to upgrade my filed 485 from EB3 to EB2. Now with the new visa numbers my PD is current.
What will happen to my case? Do they hold my file until they approve 140 with EB2 and then process the file or they move with the EB3?
DO you think it is better to withdraw the second 140?
Please let me know if any one of you has experience in this case. I have been waiting 6 years for this day and now....
Thanks.

AILA Leadership Has Just Posted the Following:
Today the Immigration Policy Center (http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/) of the American Immigration Council, (http://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/) along with the Center for American Progress (http://www.americanprogress.org/)issued a report confirming what many people of rationale mind (including the vast majority of Americans) already knew--It would be an economic disaster to deport 12 million people. The loss of this vital economic element would cause a loss to the U.S. Economy of over 2 TRILLION dollars over the next 10 years. Hey, I think that is real money!
Raising The Floor For American Workers (http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/sites/default/files/docs/Hinojosa%20-%20Raising%20the%20Floor%20for%20American%20Worker s%20010710.pdf), written by UCLA Professor Dr. Ra�l Hinojosa-Ojeda, highlights the economic reality of the the undocumented population in the United States, how tied in they are to the economic engine of the United States, and what an economic nightmare we, as Americans, would deal with if we followed the failed deportation-only policies advocated by immigration restrictionists.
More importantly, Dr. Hinojosa-Ojeda found that not only is a comprehensive reform of our immigration laws (involving BOTH a legalization component AND a an actual workable immigrant visa plan) an economic necessity, it will actually raise the wage floor for all American workers. Frankly, its about time someone looked at the numbers here and ran verifiable scenarios, and did not just play around with easily manipulable census data.
Now, do you think anyone in Congress will read this? Will it change any minds? Ultimately, it is only us, those that understand the human cost of bad immigration policies, that can convince people reluctant to fix our broken immigration system on humanitarian grounds, that it is in our own ECONOMIC interest to makes these necessary changes. Let's get to it.https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/186823568153827945-2183881679788051590?l=ailaleadership.blogspot.com

I am in same boat..
Donno what to do..
But after all my research, it's better to work with that employer A for say 1 or 2 years or if possible until you get GC for sometime and then move..
Since the PD is Mar 2005, hopefully you will get with in a year or year and half..
Good luck..
Other possibility is use EAD to work with Company A and also do part-time but you will loose H1 status.. which is scary..
Hi
my GC is applied for future employment by company A on july2007.I did concurrent filing of 140 and 485.My I-140 approved on Feb 2008 and waiting for 485 approval. My PD belongs to 2005 mar EB2.
I am still working with my old company B .
My question is Am i eligible to change company C
without working for company A( My GC sponsored company).Can I file AC21 without working for GC sponsored company? Please i need somebody advice.
Thanks,
David

Recently an undated USCIS draft memorandum surfaced. The Memo was offering administrative relief options to promote family unity, foster economic growth, achieve significant process improvements, and reduce the threat of removal for certain individuals present in the United States without authorization. Here is the entire memo for our readers to view:
Undated Internal USCIS Draft Memorandum Discusses Administrative Alternatives to CIR (http://www.slideshare.net/usvisalaw/undated-internal-uscis-draft-memorandum-discusses-administrative-alternatives-to-cir)View more documents (http://www.slideshare.net/) from usvisalaw (http://www.slideshare.net/usvisalaw).
Shortly after the memo leaked to the public the Immigration service had this to say:
�Internal draft memos do not and should not be equated with official action or policy of the Department. We will not comment on notional, pre-decisional memos. As a matter of good government, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will discuss just about every issue that comes within the purview of the immigration system. We continue to maintain that comprehensive bipartisan legislation, coupled with smart, effective enforcement, is the only solution to our nation's immigration challenges. Internal memoranda help us do the thinking that leads to important changes; some of them are adopted and others are rejected. Our goal is to implement policies wisely and well to strengthen all aspects of our mission. The choices we have made so far have strengthened both the enforcement and services sides of USCIS � nobody should mistake deliberation and exchange of ideas for final decisions. To be clear, DHS will not grant deferred action or humanitarian parole to the nation�s entire illegal immigrant population.�
What can we learn from all this? Comprehensive immigration reform may not happen in the near future, but some sort of a step by step change is likely to occur sooner than later. Even USCIS is eager for this to happen, expect more "leaks" coming up.

Hi,
I have a situation and will appreciate thoughts on that. I was working in a company on H1B and my company got closed and Moved back to India after 2-3 months.
Now I found a new employer who has a project for me but want me to join in 1-2 weeks. SO I was wondering what options do I have?
Is it possible to apply for B1 for some time and come and simultaneously apply for H1 Transfer.
Please let me know. Your help is appreciated.
Thanks
Maya

we were given special treatment because of our US citizen children. No waiting in line and even no qu from VO once he came to know about children
Actually I think that special treatment may be for all H1-b renewals. When we went for our stamping 3 years ago at Delhi, at the outside window they stamped our passport with "green" sticker or something like that and when we entered the hall at the FP window, they said you don't need to stand in line and we were taken directly to AO. We did not have children and it was my 2nd H1 renewal stamping and my wife's first H4 renewal stamping.

Please help me out or point to the blog where people had the same question.
Thanks

My company has just changed the rules. From now they are unwilling to pay the costs incurred in the visa extensions for the spouse.
Is this legal? Does anyone have any links etc that I can pass on to HR if this is illegal. Thanks.
Under the law, the employer is only obligated to pay the training fee, i.e. $750 or $1500. The rest of the fee including the H-4 fee can be paid by the employer or the employee.
