My lawyer filed my Labor certification stating that the job requires 'BS degree in CS'. My labor got approved last month.
I hold a MS degree in CS and BS degree in Industrial Engg.
Now while I am about to file for I-140, I am getting information from various sources that my bachelor's degree has to be in CS, irrespective of holding a master's degree in CS.
Has anyone faced similar situation? How can I resolve this issue?
Please help as I almost spent 4 years in LC backlog queue!!!!!!!!

Does frankfurt require transit visa if some one is traveling to India if:
A) While going to india and have H1/H4 valid until 2011, but stamping expired.
B) while coming back to USA if I am planning on coming on Advance Parole ?
How long does the airport visa take ? I traveled through FF in 2005, but I had valid H1 stamp. It is expired since and perhaps wont get stamped before coming back, but use AP.
<edit> This is what I found on the germany.info site
"Indian, Turkish, Nigerian and Ghanaian airport transit travelers who
- are holding a valid visa or other residence permit for the USA (this includes advance paroles, but not approval notices), Canada or Switzerland and travel to the country which issued that visa or residence permit
or- after a legal stay in the USA (this includes holders of valid approval notices), Canada or Switzerland- return to the country whose citizenship they hold"
</edit>
DontCare, why do u care, Mate? LOL.
Jokes apart.
You should be ok with the visa (no stamping). I had 2 friends travelling via FF with 797 notices ,got stamping in India and came back via frankfurt.
So i guess AP should also be okay.
hope this helps.

TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > � 1154. Procedure for granting immigrant status

(j) Job flexibility for long delayed applicants for adjustment of status to permanent residence
A petition under subsection (a)(1)(D) of this section for an individual whose application for adjustment of status pursuant to section 1255 of this title has been filed and remained unadjudicated for 180 days or more shall remain valid with respect to a new job if the individual changes jobs or employers if the new job is in the same or a similar occupational classification as the job for which the petition was filed.
So the 180 days count starts from the I-485 RD. Not even notice date.

Please consult a lawyer - She is now AOS and should not go back to H4 as that can mean she is abandoning her AOS which I am sure you dont want. I would not even recommend getting H4 stamped in her passport. ( same reason). I am in the same boat and my wife is using EAD - My lawyer did not process her H4 extension and only processed my H1 extension.
Again - please consult a lawyer
Just like one can have both H1 as well as AOS, the dependant can also have H4 and AOS at the same time. There is no law/rule that even remotely suggests that getting an H visa means abandoning the AOS. My 485 was denied and had to get H1/H4 for me/my wife. Now we again have AOS, but i still have H1 and plan to enter on H1 if have to re-enter US after a trip abroad. There are hundreds of folks on this forum who extend/stamped their H1/H4 even when they had AOS.
commenting/guessing on a situation without the knowledge of the related law/rule could mis-lead the poster. This is not meant to be a criticism, just a suggestion.

Dear Viewers
Could anyone please advice me on how to claim the unpaid salary from the previous employers.
I was working for a company based in Michigan run by an Indian. This person did not pay me my last month salary. He does not pick up his phone or respond to my email. I have all the proof that my client has paid him the money for which I worked but he continue to ignore my request. This guy owes me around 5000 dollars.
Any piece of advice would be of great help.
1. Send an email to the employer
2. Send a letter with a proof of delivery and signature stating your case and that you need to be paid and reminding him/her of their legal obligation and give them 7-10 days to comply failing which you will report to DOL.
3. If you have not received your dues, complain to your DOL immediately
I assume that your legal status is not compromised by doing the above and you have a backup for maintaining your legal status in case the employer comes back at you by canceling your H1 etc.
- cheers

To second what SITM said in this post, my case (interfiling from EB2 NIW to EB1 EA) was approved on March 30, 2009. My I-485 was submitted in Aug 07 thanks to the July 07 melee. In my case, I had my lawyer do the interfiling for an additional fee. So, I am not sure how the interfiling request looked like. But, I did follow with NSC on my I-485 s after the request on a regular basis and I believe that it helped! AFAIK, it looks like interfiling is not completely hopeless.
For those of you waiting on your pending I485 following a successful EB2->EB1 upgrade, it took me a little over a month after my I140(EB1) was approved late Jan, and only 3 weeks after the upgrade request was mailed to USCIS (relevant timeline is in my signature below). I received the "Welcome to USA" notice (for me and my wife) yesterday in my mailbox. Also, there was no prior LUD change or email notification (maybe they want to hit us with the good news, after causing so much heartburn). We had one (medical) RFE last year, because we skipped medicals while rushing our I485 petition to beat July 2 ('07) deadline.
A big THANK YOU shoutout to IV leaders who do the heavy lifting day-in and day-out for others like us, and hearty wishes to those of you waiting for a looooong time to get through this stage (this is my 9th year in US, but I sort of lazed around on my H1 until the fag end, when my friends forced me to shake a butt and initiate my "GC journey" early '06).
[ps. while I hesitate to say it here, I am committing $200 to IV just so others, who like me have benefited from IV's actions (both directly, such as "July-2 reversal", "2-yr EAD", "quick answers to urgent questions" etc, as well as in other intangible ways), make a similar gesture of appreciation after getting their GC]

My AP status was changed to Document mailed on 10/29 but i didn't receive anything yet. Heard that Lawyer would be receiving them if you have signed G28.
Keep in touch with your lawyer and ask them to forward it to you as soon as they receive. Otherwise, some lawyers will take their own sweet time to send it.
Hi,
We are in a critical situation. My wife's AP was approved on 10/18 and the current status is "Document Mailed on 11/05". It also says "You should receive the document within 30 days".
Our flight to India is on 11/15 and we are wondering typically how long it takes for us to receive the physical paper after the status changed to "Document Mailed".
Can you please share your experience?
Thanks,
KK

it dont just sound like you have dust on your sensor. you do have dust on your sensor. at this point you have 3 options. you can do what nikon and canon recomend and blow the dust out with a blower bulb at wich point your head may explode from the frustration of NOT getting the dust of since it clings to it through static charge. the next and most stress free way to do it is to find a local camera shop that will clean it for you (not all will do this for you however). the service is available here in okc for 85 smakaronies. The should use a stero scope to get down there and get every piece of dust off so that your sensor will be back to the original shape absolutely no dust. or you can be brave and make a small investment on ecipse cleaning solution and cleaning swabbs. the solution is streakless after it dries. also get a special set of cleaning brushes that you can swipe across the sensor without scratching the sensor. as i said the method i recomend is paying the mola to have someone else do it as when i tried to clean my sensor i was so nervouse i just did not trust myself to do a good job.

1. Can USCIS deny 485 solely due to lack of BC/NABC ? if yes then What are the chances of denial ? No chance - i did for me and got GC .
2. If the officer does not think that consulate BC is enough, will they deny 485 or issue another RFE? consulate BC is NOT enough .
3. Do you know anyone whose 485 was denied simply for no BC/NABC reason?
NO
4. My 485 was (wrongfully) denied few months ago when my ex revoked the approved I-140, could this affect the future processing of the case -vely (i hope not) ? no

Did u take Infopass appt. for EAD & AP together...? On the infopass form once fill only one receipt # right..?? My application was recd. by USCIS on 7/7...90 days is from recd. date...isn't it..? and not Notice date.? 90 days will be up for me by tomorrow 11/5..I still have no EAD & AP..! Can i take EAD & AP appt. together on same day for Infopass.? Or should i call USCIS reg. my case...Thanks..!!
There is no option in infopass to take both ead and AP. I took the one for interim-EAD , but like I mentioned above, this tuesday it will be 2 weeks after infopass and still no EAD for me, wonder how AP got approved without EAD , does it happen like this ?

Even though we have a very honest agenda at heart which at its very core aims to help America be more competitive in the global scene, apparently, we need to have the financial clout to be able to turn heads and thus have our voices heard.
Here is an idea: say we have roughly 500 members out of this vast array of 35000+ members who have the heart and the will to contribute. we get $2000 from each and place it in an escrow trust account that does not release money for expenditure unless we reach $1 mln
why? because the first 10 or 50 contributers are the most elemental in getting such a campaign off the ground and we need to give them a guarantee that its an ALL or NOTHING DEAL. If for some reason we stop at $10k because only 5 members contributed and no more are ready to contribute (unlikely), those 5 members can get their money back.
now is $2000 a huge amount?.. absolutely... but maybe we could tweak this amount or do some payback if we have more people stepping forward in excess of 500. and the amount of payback depends on how early your contributed to the campaign. The first 50 guys could even get a substantial part of their contribution back.
People, we gotta swing for the fences, the next time we go to play.
It has taken us some time to understand how the lobbying game is played.. but this time "Lets play to win"
As evident from current campaigns (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=210276#post210276), we need to be a big fish.. a million $+ whale to be taken seriously.
Lastly, i'm just presenting an idea .. its not endorsed by IV core.. and I maybe overlooking some finer points of non-profit corporate taxation and finance.

Hi Raysakat
Thanks for the quick and helpful reply. Just to clarify a bit more, can i still file for I-140 with her being primary(as cross chargibility is applied) while she is on F1 or wold it lead to conflict in visa status? SHe does not exits on my PERM application, but she is currently with me on H4, suggesting her intent to immigrate with my PERM application
Thanks
