In order to be eligible for EB-2 classification you must have the equivalent of a US Master's Degree AND a US Master's Degree or its equivalent must be the minimum requirement for the position that is the subject of the I-140 Immigrant Visa Petition.
In other words, even if your education equates to a US Master's degree, you will not qualify for EB2 classification unless the empolyer can show that the job duties of the position could not be successfully performed by anyone not possessing at least a Master's degree or its equivalent.

My last EAD and AP were filed at TSC and that is what is specified in e-file application. Now I am getting worried :confused:
Update 1: During the EAD efiling process I made a mistake which might have caused this anomaly. More on this thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19425)

I have received FP notices both for my wife and myself for both 485 & 765. Code 3 ,2 . The question is :I dont know how FP process works. My wife has very smooth and sweaty hands. When i applied for Canadian immigration during FBI FP process even after n no. of attempts we couldnt get good prints on FP Sheet using INK. Ofcourse through speaking with Canadian Consulate they gave her an exemption over this. Now many of my friends have informed me that FP process is Electronic is this true?
I think she has no problem with electronic FP as US consulate could take her FP's when initially she went for H4 in i ndia. please comment.
its electronic, so you should be ok. They are also very patient, and try a lot ways to get clean prints (using wipes etc) [atleast at the Oakland ASC]

I would like to see this kind of report in front page of WSJ and NY times.
I like the below points from the report.
- There is no evidence that during the long periods of time when no foreign
nationals could receive new H-1B petitions the job market improved for U.S. workers or professionals.
- The March 2009 findings from Duke University and University of California, Berkeley researchers send a signal that America cannot take it for granted that outstanding international students, researchers and professionals from around the world will always want to stay and work in the United States.
- The relaxation of green card constraints proposed in the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 could have increased labor earnings and GDP by approximately $34 billion in the tenth year following enactment and had a net positive effect on the budget of $34 to $47 billion over ten years.
- Relaxation of H-1B caps under the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007 could have increased labor earnings and GDP by $60 billion in the tenth year following enactment and improved the federal budget�s bottom line by $64 to $86 billion over ten years.�
- �Over the past 15 years, immigrants have started 25 percent of U.S. public companies that were venture-backed, a high percentage of the most innovative companies in America . . . The largest U.S. venture-backed public companies started by immigrants include Intel, Solectron, Sanmina-SCI, Sun Microsystems, eBay, Yahoo!, and Google.
- we estimate that all companies founded by immigrants from 1995 to 2005 produced $52 billion in sales and employed 450,000 workers in 2005,�

All,
I am a little confused. I just got my H1B extension done recently and my attorney sent me a letter saying that if I go out of the country for stamping I need to make sure my Passport is valid beyond the H1B period.
My passport expires in May 2008 and my current H1 is valid till July 2010. Does anyone see any issues in going for stamping in India in July 2007 with my current passport and later on some time next year applying for a new Indian passport.
Appreciate your help

Here is my question. In my college days bacd in the early 90's and mid 90's, I used to work and worked with my original Social secuirty number. Another words, I was given pay checks. I paid taxes and got refunds as well. Obviouslly all illegal since I had no permission to work as I was on FI visa. Anyways, after graduating college, I got H1b visa. Now I am in my 9th year, and my labor and I140 have already been approved. So the question is, when I am called for my 485 interview, will they know that i worked illegally, will they have records of that. I also have a DWI. I think DWI is ok, as I have read many got their green cards after this. I am more concerned with my working illegally.
Just recentlly I was sued by Discover card. The judgement against me in teh court was for 10,000 +. I have paid half of it and will pay the rest in 6 months. Will that affect my Green Card.
Please eloborate.
Thanks!
You have to disclose and consult those question with your immigration lawyer since they will have a better answer for that particular problems and usually your lawyer will company you during the interview. If you've got lucky there will be no interview at all.
if you ever got out from US after violated your status and get back in, get a new I94 and never violated your status again after your last entry by working illegaly you should be fine.
Or if your total working hour is not over 180 days there is law if I'm not wrong part of ac21 that pardon that kind of violation as long as it's not more than 180 days.

My case is similar too, my husband filed 485 for both of us on 29th June, we both have H1b. But on June 15th one H1b transfer was filed for me (dependent in 485) which was confirmed to us on June 22nd and I joined new company on June 26th.
But the whole transfer thing is not mentioned in 485 because we were not aware at time of filling forms (june 18th).
Is this going to create problem? do we need to send update/form to USCIS about this?
you dont need to do anything. they can track the changes based on I-94 sent for transfer.
In fact if you id COS to H4 then that too would have been okay.

Thank you hpandey for the clarification. If I apply H1B extension in premium processing in apr itself, I will know soon if it will go through or not. My plan is to apply H1B transfer immediately to a new employer in case of H1B extension denial from the current employer, as I will still have valid H1B for few more months till Sep 09.
One more doubt I have is whether it will raise a red flag for USCIS, if I apply premium processing in apr 09 for extension from oct 1st 09 or will it be fine. Please let me know.

They would have verified PIMS while giving your wife the H4. But they will again verify with PIMS as one of the steps to issue the H1 visa. I dont think they will bypass it.

you may need to apply for h4 again since she used the EAD. Discussing with a good attorney who is knowledgable on this case is very important. Hope you have not used your EAD if got one. If used the issues can be worse as you may lose your h1B status as well.
Please update your case. I may also face such a sitaution . But not sure at this moment.
Which service center you applied the AOS and when?
Shaji.
My wife got EAD card while she was on H-4 (I am on h-1). She used it for few months. She got RFE for 485 for visascreen (for nurses). It looks like she will not be able to produce the visascreen certificate within the RFE date and after grace period (33 days after denial notice of RFE).
Now when she gets the denial notice for I-485, subsequently, the EAD status becomes invalid. in this case, what will be the staus?
H-4 or no staus?
Upon the denial, do i need to reapply for H-4 status or she gets the h-4 status automatically since she has H-4 and EAD evan though she used EAD in the past.
Currently on passport, the H-4 status expires on Feb 08.

Please help me out here.
I filed I-140 in EB2 category on September 30, 2005 at Vermont service center. I also filed I-1485 concurrently with I-140 and fingerprinted in December 2005. My I-140 was approved in June 2006. But I-1485 is still pending due to retrogression/non-availability of visa numbers to Indian nationals in EB2 category.
To avoid the retrogression in EB2 category I filed another I-140 in EB1 (since visa number is available in this category for Indian nationals) on May 1, 2006 at Texas service center (due to bi-specialization). This I-140 was approved in August 2006.
I have following questions regarding my case:
1) Can I use the I-485, which was concurrently filed with EB2 I-140 and link it with EB1 I-140.
a. If yes, where do I file my request since I-485 is pending in Vermont and EB1 I-140 is approved by Texas?
b. If no, is there any other alternative to use the EB1 I-140 priority dates?
Thanks!

I think this is the standard message. The message told to me is below
"All cases received before 2006 are being worked on. And cases filed later on might be worked on after 6 months."
More over the lady sounded very pissed off.
But if you go to there are cases filed later than sep 2006 getting approved.
