    My greencard application has stuck in name checks for 3 years. I recently filed a Writ of Mandamus. Before going to court, U.S. Attorneys filed to dismiss my case, citing that the adjustment of status is discretionary and the FBI can take as long as they want to do background checks.

    I am hesitating whether to go ahead with a court hearing. In addition, I am not happy with my current lawyer.

    Can someone recommend a good lawyer to me? Many thanks!

    I called them this morning and IO told me that my file has been assigned to an officer. What does this mean? Can anyone tell me?

    Thanks


    Why yes! Didn't you get the memo?
    What this means is that somebody at USCIS probably ran out of TP at home.

    Is there anyone out there pursuing CP and already working in the USA?

    In today's economy/job market, it is a nightmare not to have the protection of EAD.

    Is there anyway we can get EAD for people in CP queue? Issuing EAD for those CP filers who are already in the US on work (H1B) VISA - is that even a possibility?

    Any thoughts?

    Looking at your PD it will take a while to get green card in either route. CP is great when dates are current so you can easily get GC . but when dates are not current AOS is good becasue dependetns can get EAD and also little more security than not having EAD.

    CP is done by Dept of State ( Consular Post ) and AOS is by USCIS. They are totally different agency under umbrella of DHS. CP cannot get benefit of EAD.

    For you it will not be easy to be in both place now. It will be option for person lets say like me whose date never became current and I when I filled I 140 I mentioned CP. I think it take 1 year to route your application to Consular post. so later if my dates become current and my application is not at consular ( Means I am not going to get interview ) I can file AOS. But person already have file CP for more than year then if dates become current he / she will get interview.

    For mumbai consulate there is option for AC I 140. where consular accept Attorney certified copy of I 140. So if I believe that my PD will become current in coming 2-3 months then I can file I 824 and ask to route my I 140 to Mumbai for CP. which takes 1 year atleast to finish . but in meanwhile my date become current I can take receipt notice of I 824 and go with attorney certified copy of I 140 and they can grant me visa. But it needs very sound planing of when date become current. ( Which is not possible in current environment ). If dates are current for a long time CP is good.


    Now you dont have even option to get EAD so I would say stick with CP.

    If you have applied for AOS (1-485) your application will continue processing regardless of Priority Date becoming current.

    However, and this is the important bit, you will only get your final approval (aka greencard in the mail) if a visa number is allocated to you. That only happens when you Priority Date is current (in the vast majority of cases, unless you were incredibly lucky and got a visa number allocated to you before Aug 17th - you would have your greencard by now if that were the case).

    FWIW - this is how a lot of applications were approved in May / June time. A lot of people had been waiting a long time (since 05 before retrogression hit) with approved applications pending visa number availability. Suddenly, they became available, and they got their cards quickly.

    Consider it this way. A lot of people appllied for AOS in 05 before retrogression. Their PD then became retrogressed and they were stuck in the yearly EAD / AP renewals, waiting for their PD to become current again for their GC to be approved. This happened for a brief window in May / June / July (depending on your PD / country ect) and then they got approval. Anything ringing a bell in this pattern?

    Where did you read extra cash is being pumped into other gov projects.
    I read on USCIS website they were hiring 1500 new employees.

    to be fair to USCIS they did try to get out of the fiasco on july 1 by moving the dates back again Eventually they were forced to accept it again..

    They clearly knew this was cash cow so why did they want to cancel it in the first place..

    Its a lot of money and its definitely a lot of work as well..There are also no signs of hiring new stafff..most of extra cash they getting is being pumped into other gov projects so the staff is still being overworked and I am sure will be complaning

    I have read in this forum frequent questions about this - legality/enforceability of noncompete clause. Here's a recent court decision from Kansas. It talks about physician practices. No idea if it is applicable to other professions. But the four factors cited in the decision seem relevant.

    Interestingly, it talks about 8 states -- Alabama, California, Colorado, Delaware, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Tennessee and Texas -- that have been known to outlaw or significantly restrict such clauses.

    Please take it for whatever it's worth.

    ======================

    Kansas court enforces noncompete clause
    The court looked at a number of factors in weighing the contract's impact on the doctor, the employer and patient care.

    By Amy Lynn Sorrel, AMNews staff. Aug. 4, 2008.

    A Kansas appeals court recently affirmed the enforceability of noncompete clauses in a ruling that puts the spotlight on issues that can arise in drafting or signing the employment contracts.

    Kansas is among a majority of states that consider noncompete clauses legal, with varying case law or statutes as to when and how the provisions can be used. Eight states -- Alabama, California, Colorado, Delaware, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Tennessee and Texas -- have been known to outlaw or significantly restrict such clauses.

    In June, the Kansas Court of Appeals upheld a contract that restricted a family physician from practicing for three years in the same county as the group she left unless she paid the clinic 25% of her earnings during those three years after her termination.

    In its decision, the court analyzed four factors to determine the validity of the contract provision. The court looked at whether the restrictive covenant:

    * Protected a legitimate business interest of the employer.
    * Created an undue burden on the employee.
    * Harmed the public welfare.
    * Contained time and geographic limitations that were reasonable.

    In upholding the noncompete clause, the court found that Wichita Clinic PA had a legitimate interest in protecting its patient base and the investment it made in establishing the practice of Michelle M. Louis, DO, when she joined the group in 1991. The court said the contract did not unfairly restrict competition or patient access because Dr. Louis had the option to continue practicing in the area, where other family physicians were available.

    Gary M. Austerman, Dr. Louis' attorney, said the court essentially ruled that "a contract is a contract" while giving "short shrift" to other concerns, including patient care. Dr. Louis plans to petition the Kansas Supreme Court to take her case.
    8 states outlaw or significantly restrict noncompete clauses.

    "A doctor's right to practice and continue her relationship with her patients in this case is greater than the employer's right to restrain that right," Austerman said. "Patient choice is affected any time you say you can't take care of patients just because of a business relationship."

    Austerman said Wichita Clinic -- a practice of nearly 200 multispecialty physicians -- was not harmed by Dr. Louis' departure, and the contract was aimed at protecting itself from competition rather than protecting patient care. He argued that the 25% damages clause imposed an arbitrary penalty on Dr. Louis and was not intended to apply to the income she would make when she left the clinic in 2004.

    AMA policy states that covenants not to compete "restrict competition, disrupt continuity of care and potentially deprive the public of medical services." The AMA discourages any agreement that restricts the right of a physician to practice medicine and considers noncompete clauses unethical if they are excessive in scope.
    Striking a balance

    Gary L. Ayers, an attorney for Wichita Clinic, said the group's contract struck an appropriate balance.

    He said the clinic hired Dr. Louis after she completed her residency and helped set up her practice with an existing source of patient contacts and referrals, and by covering administrative and overhead costs. But if doctors decide to leave and take a portion of their patients with them, the group would lose out financially without some reimbursement arrangement, Ayers said. As a result, patient care would suffer.

    Restrictive covenants "allow groups to protect their patient base and in turn give them the ability to grow the practice to provide a vast array of patient services," Ayers said.

    Doctors on either side of the negotiating table should consult legal counsel to know where their state stands on enforcing noncompete provisions, said Richard H. Sanders, a Chicago-based health care lawyer with Vedder Price.

    Employers drafting contracts should make sure time and distance limitations are reasonable and reflect where the practice draws its patient base from, he said. On the flip side, individual doctors should not hesitate to negotiate and ask for a buyout clause or a carve-out leaving a particular geographic territory open.

    Jerry Slaughter, executive director of the Kansas Medical Society, warned that doctors should take the contracts seriously. The medical society was not involved in the Wichita Clinic case.

    "If properly constructed, [restrictive covenants] are legal and binding, so it's really about the parties going into it understanding it's a contract."

    ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
    Case at a glance

    Was a noncompete clause in a doctor's employment contract enforceable?

    A Kansas appeals court said yes.

    Impact: Some individual physicians say the provisions restrict their rights to practice in any given area and infringe on patients' rights to choose a doctor. Physicians on the medical group side say the contracts help protect the investment a practice makes in new doctors and its existing business, which, in turn, helps maintain access to care.

    Thanks for your reply. Since I won't be working for Company A, so I have to tell them the situation. If Company A is willing to keep my H1B with them active, until Company B gets my H1B approved, you think that will be OK for me?

    I am not sure, I can use a H1B transfer, from Company A to Company B, since I never work for Company A, so I do not have a pay check from Company A. Would this be an obstacle for me to transfer my H1B from Company A to B?

    I appreciate your help!


    You can have multiple H1B. If I were you, I wouldnt tell anything to the company A at this juncture.

    Did they issue your EAD from the time the previous one expired or from the current date. If current date, you'd have lost about 3 months or validity.

    Some people I know got EADs from the next day following the expiration of their current EAD. I however got from approval date. Its all so inconsistent.

    Next day from the expiration of present EAD

    ALAN CHOATE AND TYLER PETERSON - Daily Herald
    Congress should move forward on immigration reform now that the U.S. House of Representatives has new leadership, Rep. Chris Cannon, R-Utah, said Friday.

    The issue has been stalled, Cannon said, because of a decision by former House majority leader Tom DeLay, the congressman from Texas who has become embroiled in campaign finance scandals.

    U.S. Rep. John Boehner of Ohio was picked to replace DeLay as majority leader on Thursday, and immigration legislation is high on his agenda, Cannon told Utah legislators.

    He said legislation for a guest worker program should emerge soon that could include requirements for English instruction and health insurance.

    "That should be done by, I hope, the end of April," Cannon said.

    His comments came in response to a question from state Sen. Howard Stephenson, R-Draper, who criticized Congress' "absolute failure" to provide a process for regulating immigrant labor. Cannon also expressed sympathy for the struggles of state legislators who must balance budgets even when the federal government cuts revenue -- for programs like Medicaid, for example -- that had been provided previously.

    "The pain of that is great," he said. "I would love to tell you we're never going to cut your budget again."

    His proposed solution is to reduce the size and authority of the federal government: "The best way to govern in America is to let the states do it," he said.

    Cannon made those comments on the Senate floor after answering three different questions from representatives on the House floor: How do we get the federal government out of our hair? When will federal government allow us to make more decisions on what we fund? and Why is federal government always overriding states' rights?

    Cannon said the solution is to keep the money within state budgets, because as long as federal government has it, they share accountability.

    He said the will in the U.S. House is to give states more discretion

    Now I have a question?

    My H1 is valid till May 2010 but not stamped. I have AP with me. If I go to India and come back on AP, I will still be on H1 and can even extend beyond 2010. If this is valid, then I think I do not have to get my visa stamped. That will be cool.

    I am also planning to do that. I think we can do that but I will clarify with my attorney next week.

    It seems that USCIS posted new versions of I765 dated (07/30/2007)N.
    Looks like it is a required form and older versions are not accepted....!!!!!
    :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    Disgusting .... I hope that USCIS issues a statement and allows for people who have already submitted or ready to submit before Aug 17th to use old forms

    Filing Fee :
    $340
    Special Instructions :

    If you filed a Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, on July 30, 2007, or after, then no fee is required to file a request for employment authorization on Form I-765. You may file the I-765 concurrently with your I-485, or you may submit the I-765 at a later date. If you file Form I-765 separately, you must also submit a copy of your Form I-797C, Notice of Action, receipt as evidence of the filing of an I-485.

    You may be eligible to file this form electronically. Please see the related link "Introduction to Electronic Filing" for more information.

    USCIS has already issued a press release about this but they didnt upload the older version.

    Success Formula for EB2-I:
    1)- Get rid of all EB3 => EB2 conversions
    2)- Get rid of all Subs

    And there you go we have a fair FIFO system, but hey do our desi folks agree with this :eek: I bet they don't, when they themselves don't like FIFO and straightforward system and how come we expect USCIS to be straightforward and follow FIFO:confused:

    Moral of story: Hang in where you are, its already very complicated PD,RD, ND, Country cap, EB cat ... blah .... blah

    Nice point buddy..... every situation has work around solutions. like subs and eb3 - eb2 conversions. but people do need to sacrifice like.....

    Paying for the labor sub and working for greedy desi companies...

    and not all people are eligible for subs or conversions. Even if they are eligible they might not want to make sacrifices.....

    Hi All,

    After so much meeting reminder we had encouraging crowd of two people who participated for the meeting. The decision of the meeting was - we will continue with our foolishness of raising the awareness of Senator and Congressmember, call immigration reporter to cover our story.
    I still believe and hope some people may join to help themself. Let me be very frank - I or significant others are in this effort as long as our purpose are not met. After that I will probably say good bye and let next generation take the lead.

    Please join to help yourself before it is toooo late. There is no doubt that most of us will be in a situation where you lost job, your wife leaves you because she can't work!!, you have emergency in family but you can't go, you have job but can't process your H1B. You want to do something but you know you did not act when time was ripe. Repenting at that time will not fetch you anything and no one will be around you. Today you may find some companionship.

    Please come forward. CIR is something which will help you not hurt you. If you want to do things in background that is also fine. You can contact reporter, Senator office and Congress representative office. Once you have a positive lead, let IV take care from there.

    Time is NOW or NEVER. CIR Iron rod is getting heated now. Strike it within one month, while it is hot, to give the shape you want to give otherwise it will be cold and you can not do anything but weap and crib.
