If you are moving to a similar job with an approved I-140 after 180 days of filing I-485, you are delinked from your original I140, it doesnt matter if your previous employer revokes it, thats why you report the job change to USCIS.

What you say does not serve justice to the congress's intent of passing I-140 AC 21 portability by giving equal opportunity as a CP green card where you can switch jobs after sometime of entering if you need to.

This is what happened to my brother - he applied AC21 after 180 days and changed employer and at the same time after some days he was told that his old employer revoked his I140. He got "notice of intent to denial" instead of RFE because his 140 was revoked, he replied the notice with his new job offer and new EV and he got his GC immediately. This happened this month only.

So even if old employer revokes 140 after u apply AC21 that is fine.
So u don't need to restart GC.

npulasat,

Thanks for sharing. When you said his paycheck does not match with LCA, you are talking about paycheck less than LCA, right? Do you want was the exact reason on EAD?

Last week USCIS official visited my friend office and asked the basic details of his employment, title and paystubs. My friend received his GC couple of months back.

On other surprising note, another friend applied 485 in the month of Jan, and his EAD is denied because his pay mentioned in the labor certification did not match with his current paycheck.

Not to discourage anyone but to share the info with all of you...

Interesting article on EB-5 and fraud prevalent therein.

Again I found this on Ron Gotcher's site. http://www.immigration-information.c...9958#post69958

The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) just posted this practice advisory:

Practice Alert: Predictions on EB-2 Priority Date Movement in FY2012 for China-mainland Born and India

Cite as "AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 12032365 (posted Mar. 23, 2012)"

Charlie Oppenheim, Chief, Immigrant Visa Control & Reporting in the State Department, provided AILA with further information on priority date movement in the EB-2 category for China-mainland born and India for the remainder of FY2012. When the May Visa Bulletin is published, the China and India EB-2 cut-off will retrogress to August 15, 2007. Demand is still increasing at a very high rate and must be checked to maintain numbers for natives of other countries. As for projections for the remainder of the year, it is too early to predict movement. USCIS has informed Mr. Oppenheim that they will continue to “preadjudicate” adjustment applications received through April. The “preadjudicated” cases will be held by the State Department in the “pending” demand file. That way, the cases will be ready in October, or earlier, if the current number use pattern changes, and they are needed at the end of this fiscal year to assure utilization of the full employment-based permanent resident visa allocation.

Thanks Spec - so next movement realistically in October then...

**fedupwithgc** · 03-23-2012, 10:56 AM

Thanks a lot for the update.

**rsunchu** · 03-23-2012, 10:57 AM

For the EAD or 485 do we require to submit W2 or recent pay stub?

When the movement starts again, how long will it take to surpass May 1 2010 again?

**vishnu** · 03-23-2012, 11:30 AM

i'm guessing 2 years for 2010 PDs to get GCs, but they may start taking in 485s earlier...when we see the next pending inventory + demand data etc we'll have a MUCH better idea.

With all the "preadjudicated" cases pending, will it be possible for them to artifically increase dates beyond May 1 2010 to let more people file 485? If so, approximately at which month can such a scenario happen?

Congratulations codesmith!!

**murali83** · 03-23-2012, 12:52 PM

Gurus,

My guess is all this points to visas getting used up. But what I am unable to comprehend is the approvals that keep coming in. I don't see any decrease in the rate of approvals. If this continues through April too,

1. Is the sofad really not as bad as we think it is.
2. The dates will move ahead much slower after the retrogression since visas are being given to more and more guys who filed in Jan.
3. If both my above points are wrong then approvals should start coming down drastically in the coming days.

Feel free to trash my theories.

What they "require" is an EVL. Now, you can provide additional information to support your case - W2s and Tax Returns are good because they provide long term annual data, Pay Stubs are good as they provide more immediate data. However, as far as essential requirement goes - its only EVL (refer the I-485 instructions).

The filling have increased... yesterday in our company...we had conference with ur company lawyer regarding in H1b rejections in India , H1b changes and GC... there he mentioned that all approved 140 from him didnt file for there 485 immediately...and the 140 to 485 ratio was around 60%, the main reason he mentioned was many people were not married and didnt file. but now most of them are filling as soon as the retrogression news started and he stated thatz the case with many other lawyers too ...
