I had gone through the layoff thing during 2001-2002 time. Maybe, I might be mistaken. But I feel that time it was even worse.
2001 It seemed like once all dot-com related stuff clears out market will stablize, But this time this problem, Is not just Whole IT, but all industries , I heard except healthcare and education all sectors are shedding jobs. Not only that all countries have same issue , just not the countries who depend on IT related sectors for there economy.
Worst part is No-End insight, So you don't how long you have to ride this out. No economist is ready to bet if the economic stimulas will really boost up to bring out of this reccession/ depression.
I am under-estimating the problems I 2001-2002. And probably people who got affected directly by that know more about the pain, then who never went through that kind of problem.

This was the our Immigration Lawyer's response:
AP is valid for multiple entries. Generally you receive three
original approval notices. When you reenter the U.S., the officer will
sometimes keep one of the originals, but you will still have two others
to use on future trips. Occasionally, the officer will stamp the AP and
then return it to you to use again, but if he keeps the original,
there's not much you can do about it. If all the originals have been
used, then you will need to file for another AP for future trips.

I agree 100% with jthomas above...moving from a secured job is not advisable in this market..I lived in Atlanta for a few years recently and can shed some light on the place..
Even if you have a secured job/contract, it would take a while to get into the new work environment and unless you are absolutely undisposable, you would be on the list of maybe's being a new-hire.
I will leave the job judgement upto you..
Regarding the place..
I moved from chicago to atlanta as well...the place is quite warm and not too hot like dallas...greener and more relaxed..
Again this depends on your job, dunwoody is a better place..it is in north suburbs..unlike chicago, you can drive downtown to work if you are working downtown...and also unlike chicago most companies in downtown have their own parking and you dont have to pay extra..
Rent is cheap..I used to rent a townhome in chicago suburbs for 1500$ and I can get a townhome in downtown atlanta for 1000$..you can calculate from that..
though I lived downtown atlanta for a while..i strongly suggest if you have family to avoid living in downtown..it is not safe and not a place for kids and family to relax and roam around...
I dont know how long you lived in chicago..but once you move you will definitely miss the vibrant life of chicago...atleast i did..lot of indian restaurants in atlanta but none of them are decent...
positives: weather, cost of living
negatives: avg. city life, lesser job opportunities(compared to chicago)
I am not sure which way my suggestions tilt above..just a disclaimer..i lived in chicago for ~6yrs and absoutely love the place...that might have clouded my judgement a bit..but you can take what suits you from it...
good luck and plan wisely!!
thanks for sharing ur insight..iam in Chicago, althought not right in downtown, I do agree with the vibrant nature of the city and people in it...cant beat the commute facilities too, downsides, yes, terrible terrible winters, high cost of living...etc..its JUne and it still low 50's..:)

Indian companies like wipro, infosys discourage GC processes.
If that is the case, then PDs should move forward once we are past FY2004.
The question is, how many are there in FY2004?!!

Deall All,
Thanks for your replies...i hope you gurus can shed some light into my situation:
labor(EB3) priority date 18 jan07.
I -140 has been approved june 25 2007.
I - 485 ucsis filing date july 19th 2007
EAD recvd Oct 16th 2007 valid till 3rd oct 2008
fingerprinting scheduled nov 7th 2007
H1 and H4 for me & my wife expires may 20th 2008
Here are my questions:
1. My present employer is under a divestiture process. Can i change employers as long as its a similar job? If so, do I apply for a H1 extension or should i work on EAD? (Note: I havent crossed the magical 180 days on the I-485 yet)
2. I have not received my advance parole docs yet but im planning on visiting india in april-may 2008. Assuming i get my AP can i visit India and return to the states and be working for a different employer (company B) other than the original employer (company A) who was my employer when i applied for my I-140, I485 etc?
3. Upon my return if the inspecting officer asks who the petitioner is/was do i tell them that, while i filed for the I-485 i was with company A but i am currently working for Company B? How do i handle this scenario?
4. If I do find another job, but not a "similar" job, then I'd have to file labor again right? If thats the case, will the current I-140 still hold good? Can I file for a second labor while working on EAD / AP? I guess my question really is: Can i file for another labor under EB2 to expedite my priority date? Then can i use my old I-140 which has been approved? What about the I-485? do i need to apply another one?
Thanks for your replies.

There are 2 kinds of posts...(1) Which add value to the forum. Threads started for 401K, selecting a lawyer etc add value since they attract new members. (2) The second kind of posts are the ones initiated by people who want to ask questions. This questions tend to be serving individuals.
I think we should not restrict the first type of posts. There could some kind of charge on the second kind. One suggestion which may work is as follows
1. Only paying members can initiate threads(or may be allow the first few for free ). Exceptions can be permitted by admins who can review if a post could be useful.
2. Anyone can post answers to existing threads.
By the way I am not sure of the technical aspect of the website operations. So please bear with me if my post reflects the same.

If your labor cert contains language such as "...may work at one or more unanticipated locations", you should be fine with no need to re-start the GC process.
However, I would check with an attorney to be on the safe side.
Gurus, need a lil help clarifying issue in GC process.
I've a question regarding location of work place for a H1B employee filing GC process.
I've learnt that either after filing I-140 or I-485 stage, one should maintain as an employee at the same job position(job description as mentioned in LC) and also the geographical location. I've learnt instances where if an employee is half way through (lets say approved labor or I-140) his GC process has to start all over if he had to move to another branch of the same company in another city/state.
Is this true? I might be wrong about the infomation above but I'm concerned as being consultant, I might have to move to a different city or state if I find a better project and am contemplating whether this would be an issue in future for my green card.
If I'm right, employer has to file LCA for prevailing wage for current city I'm residing now. What will be the process incase I've to move to another city/state.
I'd really appreciate if someone who has better official info or gone through this can clarify my queries so ppl like me can be better informed.
Thanks in advance.

Nice...Calculations work if its a public company with a responsibility to make profits and please shareholders. We are talking about an entity we really know nothing about, all calculations go out of the window in this case
-- I filed my 485 in dec 2004 :p i have spent many hours dreaming up rational calculations, but i feel i would have been better off watching the traffic from my office window.:(
Here is the calculation I came up with USCIS processing of our I-485 applications.
USCIS should allocate 140,000 applications in a fiscal year. So, in a month they need to process, at least, 140,000/ 12 = 11,667 applications.
Assuming that they have, at least, 20 working days in a month, they need to process 11,667/ 20 = 584 applications.
So, now the question is, how many employees does USCIS have and are dedicated to the I-485 processing? We don’t know the exact number. Considering that USCIS is getting lot of revenue, they should have, at least, 50 employees doing this work.
So, 584/50 = 12(Approx) applications they need to process in a day, per person.
So, do you think it is viable? Of course, it is…
What they need to process the I-485 application? They are not doing any FBI names check, or background check (Assuming that everything is done by other organization). So, how long does it take to review the I-485 application? Well, when I filled the application, it took me about 1 hour. So, to review it, let’s us say, it takes about 1/2 the time fill the application; that’s about half an hour. Considering the calculation that we made, it takes an about 6 hours to process 12 candidates. With this assumption, they still have 2 hours left to do miscellaneous tasks. Now the question is what the heck they are doing all the time? Why did they process only 80,000 applications in about 8 months? Are they lazy? Don’t they have enough employees (This shouldn’t be; an average Indian consultant company will have at least 20 employees!!). This is really a mystery. Anyways, if the USCIS really and whole heartedly wants to process the applications, they can; but they really don’t care about immigrants or their plights. :rolleyes:

The answer to your last question is Yes. Provided your prev employer does not file for a revocation of I140.
I have read this same opinion from many other lawyers.
Recent Murthy chat:
Question: My I-140 just got approved. Do I need to wait for 6 months or any timeframe before I change jobs and use AC portability? Also, can the new company apply in EB2 category (earlier was EB3) without losing the priority date?
Answer: AC21 portability is not an option until the I-485 has been filed and pending for at least 180 days. If the earlier I-140 petition is still valid, then a new employer can file a new LC and I-140 and request the transfer of the earlier PD from the earlier file.Jun-4-2007.

Thats strange.....
What is strange ?? He used PP in June when it was still available. USCIS suspended PP only for new cases to process what they already had.
I can't wait to get the chance to upgrade mine .... not that I will do anything with it for a while (other than H1B extension) but is nice to have the approval in your pocket.
