I am working for company A under H1-B visa and my PERM was approved early this year and my I-140 (EB2) is pending. I summitted I-485 last week since the PD is current again. Almost the same time, I moved to another department in the same company because of company reconstruction. The job seems to be having different requirements(>50% difference). I have a couple of questions:
1. Within how long I need to inform my company lawyer and then USCIS that my job changed within the same company?
2. What are the concequences if I do not inform my company laywer about my job change? Will USCIS know this in the future and deny my I-140 and I-485?
3. Will my pending I-140 get denied since my job requirement changed (if my company lawyer inform USICS)?
4. What are the possible outcomes for my I-485 under this job change situation?
5. Is that possible that I just stay there as nothing happened and wait for USCIS response to my I-140 and I-485?
6. What can be done in order to avoid a new PERM and new I-140? I really don't want to start all over again since who knows what the PD will be after Oct. this year...

Yes, rates may be different if you are H-1B Vs GC holder. I had taken insurance through an agent recently and he suggested to go for a combination (Universal Life + Term). ULI works differently, its like a savings account, meaning you can always take the premium you paid after 10 or 20 or whatever period you choose (with interest rate). Their interest rates are same as ING or HSBC. Ever wonder how much money we are wasting with Term over a period of 20 or 30 years?

my current employer filed for my labor in march 2005, got approved in march 2007, filed I-140 in April 2005,and while I-140 was pending filed I-485 in july fiasco. In sep-2007 got intent to deny of I-140 based on A2P(ability to pay), employer filed M.T.R in October 2007. I have my fingered crossed looking at the financial statment from employer for the year 2005. chances are the MTR will be denied too. Now I have a new job offer from another employer who is willing to do new H1b for me and may be a labor petition too. the question is I want to see what comes out of the current MTR. Here is the question;
1/- if I tell the current employer to contine the process(which I dont think he will have problem with) and join the job on h1b will my I-485 status be changed or will it effects the current process?
2/- I am currently runnig on sixth year of h1b and my current visa expires in 2010 bades on the pending process with current employer. if I join the new employer on h1b what will be the H1b status will be?
thanks for the answers in advaced

Hello Srinivas, I am most likely to get in to your situation. This information was helpful. Did the H1B transfer got approved?

My H1B and my wife's H4 visa were recently renewed for 3 additonal years. We also got new visas stamped in our passport valid for 3 years based on these H1B & H4 renewals.
Now I am planning to change jobs and will be applying for H1B transfer. My questions are:
- do I need to submit an application for transfer (new I797) for my wife's H4 visa
- can my wife travel out of US and then back into US on her current H4 visa while my H1B transfer application is being processed by INS.
Thank you
I have a friend...He had H1 stamped on his passpost when he was with company A..He changed job went to company B...He went to India...Got married..Got his wife's H4.. He did not go to restamping for his own visa stamp..They came back to US....This is firsthand I know....His own H1 stamp is still company A stamp...He could reenter the country...His wife entered too....He is working for company B... This is one experience.......
If anyone has experience of entry being denied in this situation please post...I would want to know.....
The USCIS information systems are very antiquated...I donot think the right hand knows what the left hand is doing...In the end all I can say is it is your own risk...Your wife may be able to use the last H4 and get away with it.....

This is the always problem with USCIS in porting PD. In my case they have put PD as 485 application received date. The only solution to this is ..Keep your attorney in the loop and ask them to send letters repeatedly and call the customer service center repeatedly..
There is no other way you can correct the PD. In my case I had an interview with officer and we gave both i-140 documents and told officer PD was printed wrong on interview letter. Officer said she will look into it and we dont know whether she corrected it or not.

Hello tdasara,
I have undergone the pain of UK transit visa in Sep 2010. I booked my tickets thru AA-BA (RDU-LHR-HYD). I was told UK DATV is very easy to get. Applied on Sep 10th. Got FP done on Sep 27th. Sent original EAD, passport, AP documents, 485 receipt, FP processing sheet and a covering letter explaining why I wanted the UK DATV on Sep 28th by Fedex. Packet reached UK consulate in NY next day. Got a mail on Oct 8th that a decision was made. Received a letter along with passport/EAD/AP which said "Your request for DATV has been rejected since I am not convinced you need the DATV. There is no appeal for this decision". The process itself took 12 to 13 days. I researched later why they could have rejected my application. It seems I had to literally put in my whole life history - original employment verification letter, original bank statements proving my ability to travel, letter from my manager which states I have a job in US and I am going on vacation and I will come back and report to work, address proof, driving license proof, old passport copies, and any other thing u think could bolster your case. All this for what ?? To pee in London Airport in the 3 or 4 hours u stay there in transit...
I rerouted my tickets RDU-ORD-DEL-HYD (paid extra 470 dollars per head), went to Chennai Consulate and got stamping and while coming back, came thru LHR without hassles.. I confirmed in (on my way back) LHR that if I had proceeded without transit visa while going, UK would not have allowed me into LHR.
So if U plan to apply for DATV, please arrange for all the above documents and anything in excess u can muster to prove that u will just pee in LHR and move on. and that u will not land in LHR, tear your passport and get into UK and ask for asylum (This is what immigration offier in UK said most people would do if they were lackadaisical in giving transit visas).
All the best!

Online application usually warrants a fingerprinting , it's best to apply in paper if that needs to be avoided.
Thx guys, this should do it for me here. All the inputs are much appreciated.

I485 gets processed in the order of 485 RD. If cut-off dates are 'current' PD does not matter. However, if the dates are retrogressed, visa numbers would be allocated for all pre-adjucated (screening, security checks etc are completed) in the order of Priority Date so PD does matter and in fact cut-off dates would be determined based on available visas and number of pre-adjucated (already filed) cases.
Thanks for the replies. Since all the dates are current under the July bulletin, how are the 485s processed ?
1) Order of priority dates and EBs?
2) Order of the date on which the 485 applications were received?

Thanks guys,
But I am still not 100% clear. I thought both of them have independent EAD statuses, but applying together is because of maritial status.
Is it not needed for wife's case to be independently handled.

My company is going through a merger and it will be complete by third qtr of this year. I already filed my AOS on July 2nd.
I was told by my immigration attorney that if a buyer (new company) takeover all the immigration liabilities then I don't need to file an amendment. Is this correct?
From what i've researched, in your scenario it could quite possibly slip through without being an issue. Now technically, i beleive you are supposed to notify USCIS of a change if it occurs prior to 180 days of the 485 being pending and possibly file an successor of interest i-140. After 180 days it becomes a moot point since you are eligible for portablity and a simple job letter will suffice. In the former case if the officer notices it, you may get an RFE which will need to be responded with proof of the new companies, successor of interest status.
This is MY understanding. Not sure if it is totally accurate.

Did any one get an RFE to prove educational qualifications for EB3.
I did. And i think its because my lawyer didn't include my degree evaluation. Once we sent that i got approval immediately.

I compared the 485 inventories from 12/11/09 and the one on 10/1/10, released by USCIS. The net difference (approved) for EB3I is approx 1320, cleared mostly for the 2001 PDs. Don't know what happened to rest of the visa numbers ( ~ 1500) out of the mandated ~2800 for EB3I.
The reason is faulty data uscis and dos has been publishing.
And now to fix the issue "releasing faulty data" the solution they have implemented is "not publish the data" :)

Lately, USCIS has started looking into H1B transfers more carefully and giving applicants tough time approving it with all kinds of RFE, read through the forum for others experience, keep that in mind before making your move...I am not trying to scare you though, its just a pointer to whats going on currently.
