Because you are a man and you are from Mars. Men are that way .. they always live in future and somehow completely forget that its the present that they need to live fully and enjoy to the maximum extent. Women live more in present and that's why you will see very few of them stressing themselves out on these forums.
My wife always reminds me this. According to her, its ok to read forums and keep yourself updates with what's going on ... but don't get to much into it, otherwise you will loose your peace of mind.
So I have found my own way ... I am completely into these forums and no matter how hard I try I can not escape from it (you remember.. I am from Mars ... worrying about future is my nature ... so after I get my GC, I will find next topic to worry about ... may it will be abut the US economy or may be how my son's future shapes up), but at the same time I try to convert my frustration to a positive energy by thinking new ways to solve the problem, and contributing them to various forums at IV.
I think you have reached to a state, where you feel disturbed. I would recommend that contribute to IV in a positive manner .... it may be ideas, money, support, organizational work or any other thing. I think this is the only way you can recover from this GC Depression.

Perhaps, USA can levy another "fee" on H1-B folks to cover up the fighter jet deal loss just like they levy the mexico border protection fees on H1-B's.
Obama and USA should know that they can not cover every expense in USA by levying fees on H1-B folks. It's disgusting.
Which country in this world charges high skilled ppl to pay for their border protection?

If I try to use my AC21 then does title matter?
Example:
new offer has a title of "Lead software engineer".Current position is "Systems
Engineer".
...
Iad
USCIS is not just working on technical people; and they themselves are not technical people. Therefore, just try to have description of new job as close to the original description in LC, as possible (use same words). It is a subjective area. Both titles point out that you are some sort of software engineer, so, I belive, it should be ok. Try to avoid "managing" or "suprervising" in your new job description if it was not in the original description.

thanks mhtanim....
It seems that i can file tax using form 4852....but to do if he send legal notice claiming that i have made losses to him worth 25 K....i had good relation with client , gave app notice and also have refe letter from client (received award form client)..........so there shud be no point for liquidation thing and also i have all previous employers emails acepting my receignation and notice period...
Another thing which you may want to keep a watch is on the dollar amount that your employer reported on W2 for FED & State... in my case my old employer filed & reported wrong dollar amount to IRS and paid less taxes then what normally supposed to be paid which was of course he did that on purpose anyway and I didn't realize until I went to H&R block to file my 2006 taxes...and happen to notice I was ending up to pay way too huge $$ amount in return to IRS
Thanks to H&R they made my options pretty simple (a) check with my previous employer to see if he can do adjustment e-filing to IRS and provide me with corrected W2 that shows correct $$ amount or we can proceed further with filing with what ever they have reported $$ to FED & State and in the H& R system they do have an option for a separate forms that can be filed along with your taxes which reports directly to IRS on the issue and IRS will take it from there becasuse for sure during adjudication of your filed taxes in IRS system there will be flag for someone to manually look into your filed case.
My useless desi employer not sure what was he thinking at that time of such plans & didn't expect me to go that far with new approach to IRS, had given him options as described above and guess what he did over night e-filing on adjustment & did over night courier to my home mailing address...

how can Latinos be deported? Could you please explain? Are you accusing that all Latinos in this country are here illegally?
If I were a person of Latino origin, I will be very angry with folks who assume that all Latinos are illegals.
And to all the guys replying to my earlier post that such laws will increase racial profiling etc. In my opinion laws to make illegal immigrants' life difficult is basically good for us. I totally agree that non-white folks will be inspected by cops during the initial period of enactment of the law. What's the big deal about it. We will be stopped by cops. They will check our papers and will leave us, won't they? The same is true for Latinos (if they are here legally). Like I have written earlier, I have been living in a county which has implemented 287 g for the last several years and I NEVER had any issue with this. I have personally met the county chief of cop who has been a very vocal supporter of the program and he did not immediately arrest me.
The cop will fine you if you did not have the insurance card; under the present bill, the latino has a chance of being deported and not fined......huge difference!

Its a good thing, hope this will lessen the abuse of the visas by these Indian companies. As I mentioned in another thread, I have seen that H1 and L1s who come from India dont get a very good salary. Not good.
I think they have to pay the minimum wage as declared in their petition.
But I doubt whether they even send those employees on assignments. I guess they process these H1s as a carrot to retain the employees or to preprepared for any future assignments (they may not even come and the visas are never used)...
Wish there is a different category of visas for outsourced kind of work so that H1s can be used by America based companies and H1 is not seen in such a bad light.

u know what i think, you're a paranoid schizophrenic ( having someones else name doesnt help your cause either:p )
I think Pappu has had enough correspondence with me to know whether i am an anti or an anti-exposer :)
I seriously think you folks need to get a grip over yourselves, it quits being funny and turns ridiculous after a while.

Possibility of CIR happening diminishes each day passing by and as always every one acknowledge Immigration Reform as an important issue, but the reality, it is not as important as the other issues, economy, jobs, housing crisis, etc .
Only window the Democrats have to do something about CIR is in the lame duck session, but it is easy said than done and could cause a deep divide among the parties that already have a bitter relation. If not in lame-duck session, then nothing untill after 2012 election.. that pushes to 2013.
One of the promise Obama ran the first presidential election on was CIR and if none is done on that, he probably should write off the Latino votes, without which he cannot win again. Also getting a CIR through the Republican controlled house, that the Senate also agrees on -- don't think it will happen and well.. Also time now is to plan on re-election strategy for 2012 election for Obama and team.
Only slim chance is before this congress term ends and not sure, if they can get something through. There is a very slim chance it might occur.. but again Media and special interest groups could blow it up too...
Will have to see how it goes.. or if the blame game / finger pointing keeps continuing...

Check Anti Antis: Conference call: To teach Antis how to post!!! (http://anti-antis.blogspot.com/2009/07/conference-call-to-teach-antis-how-to.html)
Conference Call on Effective Posting - tomorrow, July 21st at 7:15pm
Businessweek will be posting their article on H-1b exploitation on Wednesday. Join me to discuss why the "culture of bypass" is the necessary precondition to create the "culture of exploitation."
So this confirms FIRMLY that antis and BusinessWeek are working in tandem against legal immigration reform. Sometime back.. I read that BusinessWeek is for sale.. by McGraw Hill (its parent company). I wish.. that sale happens soon and let common sense prevail. Probably they are trying too hard to shore up their subscriber base by evoking the last resort.. creating sensation with meaningless issues.

Agreed 100%. Last year I was part of this lottery system, had a genuine job offer but was not lucky enough to be selected in the lottery. I know so many people who were lucky to get thru the lottery but are still hunting for jobs.
I hope this changes....may be after Presidential elections....

Just Thought
There is 200k application without 140 approval, this is including july filers.
there is lot of chnace for those who got their I-140 approved, even their PD '2006.
you can see people getting approved PD'2005 EB2 cases, even then VB says now 2004'apr for EB2.They are not processing based on PD now and in future also i gues.Since we have already filed.PD will restrict only to File I-485 in future.
I think EB2-jan2007 and EB3-Aprl2005 in October VB
- satish
Is that a guess or a wild hope? Why set up oneself for a massive disappointment just 3 weeks down the line? Mostly What AILA says will be true. However we shouldn't rule out regression for EB2ers anytime after November. It can happen. No one really understands the logic used by uscis and dos.

Thanks for the good luck . I really need it !
I am hoping that it would be something simple as well.
- I am guessing it might be about employment verification (since its been a long time),
OR
- Current job description (probably they want to make sure I am in the same job role or going to be in the same job role for which GC was applied) . Which is more or less the case. My law-firm/company did a good job of declaring a generic (still O*net compliant) job title/description which luckily encompasses the range of roles (compliant with the job description) I have been doing over the last 8 years. And if required, at this point, I am at a stage where I am willing to take a demotion or something if required to work on the job role that matches the GC temporarily, if thats what it takes. And I am sure my company will fully support me. There is no dearth of requirement for fresh coders/developers at our team/company. They would probably be happy to oblige :D . But I hope it doesn't come to that. I think there is some leniency allowed in the growth of job scope/promotion etc over the course of years it takes to get the GC. Gurus any comments ?
OR
- some clarification about overall H1B status or something across all these years (although I know for sure my H1B status, I-94 etc has been perfectly clean so far)
OR
- Medical checkups may have expired and they need new ones? (my medical reports are from June 2007)
OR
- Ability to pay ! I don't think this would be the case. My company is a well reputed/respected Fortune 50 company. So hopefully USCIS IOs are also aware that my company would not have ability to pay issues! But who knows, in these economic crisis, they probably doubt every company !
OR
- Questions about Mergers/aquisitions/layoff announcements at my company?? I don't think these events by themselves matter/affect my I-485 case after the I-140 stage. My lawyer had clarified to the same effect. But they might trigger a request for employement verification.
What could be other reasons that you guys can think off?
Update:
It turned out to be request for latest employment verification letter.
Here are the words quoted from the RFE letter
You must submit a currently dated letter from your intended permanent employer, describing your present job duties and position in the organization, your proffered position (if different from your current one), the date you began employment and the offered salary or wage. This letter should be in the original and signed by an executive or officer of the organization who is authorized to make or confirm an offer of permanent employment. The letter must also indicate whether the terms and conditions of your employment-based visa petition (or labor certification) continue to exist.
So, couple of questions to the gurus.
a) What happens if current job title & duties are different from that of the proffered position? I am with the same employer since the beginning. How much of an allowance/leeway is given for growth of job role/scope?
b) What happens if there has been around $25k increase in pay from that mentioned for the proffered position? Is that an issue?
I am hoping that it would be something simple as well.

What he/she is doing is legal. Unless this offer involved payment for labor substituion, in which case its illegal. But good luck trying to prove it. Ever heard of wage kickbacks?
I understand your anger but NO ONE can stop this since its totally legal and if there is a financial transaction, no one will be able to prove it.
logiclife - on this forum we have heard of members that work for companies who have used ONE approved labor multiple times by invoking AC21 once the beneficiary has completed 6 months. This is equivalent to fraud.
