You are in same situation as me as long your job duties for the new position are 50% different from old position you should be ok
Thats awesome! so , whats the procedure ivolved?
UPDATE : here is the reply from my attorney
"You cannot just move your catagory from EB-3 to EB-2 by your compay's promotion. You will have to go
through the whole process again. Also, the experience you gained from the same employer who sponsor your
green card normally cannot be used (counted). "
I guess I have to continue "RamBhajan" in the same EB3 for another infinity years!

These conversations are very good. In my experience recently one of my friend went on USA on H1B visa. On the time of stamping he faced some difficult in Chennai. But another friend got visa easily in Hyderabad. I think that for H1B visa Hyderabad is easy to get stamping.

Lou Dobbs has long railed against illegal immigration and the employers who hire undocumented workers. Dobbs generated controversy � and faced boycotts � for attacking "illegal aliens" as host of a nightly CNN show. And since leaving the network in December, Dobbs has kept talking about the issue in interviews, in which he's also left open the possibility of running for senator or president.
Report: Lou Dobbs employed illegal immigrants | The Upshot Yahoo! News - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/yblog_upshot/20101007/cm_yblog_upshot/report-lou-dobbs-employed-undocumented-immigrants)
But Dobbs might want to pause before making illegal immigration a signature campaign issue: At least five illegal immigrants have reportedly worked on his properties.
The liberal Nation magazine, in a yearlong investigation conducted with the Investigative Fund at the Nation Institute, found that "Dobbs has relied for years on undocumented labor for the upkeep of his multimillion-dollar estates and the horses he keeps for his 22-year-old daughter, Hillary, a champion show jumper."
The Nation's Isabel Macdonald writes that while Dobbs has bashed employers for hiring immigrants without papers, he "has been far from vigilant about the status of workers laboring on his own properties." (The Nation has long editorialized against Dobbs and those who agree with him on immigration.)
Dobbs owns a 300-acre estate in Sussex, N.J., and a winter home in West Palm Beach, Fla. His daughter keeps five show horses worth about $1 million each at several stables; the horses are owned by the Dobbs Group, of which Lou Dobbs is president.
Macdonald spoke with several immigrants who were employed to work on winter property and helped with the upkeep of Dobbs' horses at stables in Vermont and Florida. "I looked after Dobbs' horses while I was illegal," said one man. Another worker said that he believed Hillary Dobbs knew they didn't have papers. (The workers did not give their real names for fear of deportation.)
Macdonald wrote that another worker worked on the garden at Dobbs' Florida property. On one occasion, that worker said, Lou Dobbs � who referred to himself as "Luis" � instructed him in Spanish to talk to his boss about moving a specific plant. Macdonald interviewed other immigrants who worked at the holiday home.
Hillary Dobbs did not comment for the article. And Lou Dobbs, through a radio producer on "The Lou Dobbs Show," declined to comment. Robert Zeller, Dobbs' attorney, said Dobbs would answer questions only on his live radio show; the Nation agreed to be on the show, but only after publication.
Dobbs has not yet responded to a request from The Upshot to discuss the allegations, which are sure to get attention given the commentator's very public views on the subject. The Nation compiled a video of Dobbs' past statements:

Isn't this the same proposed rule that was published on Feb 14 in Federal Register and the comment period ended on Apr 14th?
In www.immigration-law.com, go to breaking news section and take a look at posting on 4/12/05.
Or
Go here

I guess DOL has not come out with the analysis of the comments received and its final stand yet.

I think in the case you mentioned in your first post it will highly risky to use AC21 ,it would be advisable to be with the sponsoring employer till your 485 is approved. You have two labours and two 140s in different categories EB2 and EB3 processed .I think in your case please consult with a very good lawyer/attorney because immigrtaion laws are very complex and complicated,
not straight forward . If this was staright forward everyone who is EB3 would have converted or ported to EB2 and as I mentioned before documentation and employer support is a must . One of my friend went to his employer wanting to convert from EB3 to EB2 his employer( a reputed American Bank) refused point blank.
The point here is people reading this forum get mislead that porting is very easy and straightforward and simple . It is not ,if it was all would have filed in EB2 and not EB3 .EB2 has more checks and scrutinies and different requirements. Thats what I was told by my attorney. So consult an attorney before you go this route.
Thanks for the detailed reply. In my case, the company's lawyer suggested this option. I have a MS from US, have enough experience and the job profile justifies an EB2 application. Unfortunately, I got stuck with EB3.
I will keep in mind what you suggested and will do more research before taking any action.

Similar issue here.
I have been working with my company on EAD for last 6 months.
I have been asked by HR had asked me if i had valid visa. I said yes. then, i realized, there is no visa, its 'adjustment status'. I tried to explain him. He keeps saying, he understands how EAD works, but the HR office would like to see a copy of 'visa' document. I am sure, what should I give him?.
In this case, should i provide copy of I-485 receipt? I already sent him my AP documents and I-94 that i got at port of authority.
Any inputs on what to provide to HR or atleast how to explain that visa is not required, is appreciated.
Thanks.

I am in same boat.
I have asked my attorney and she said, they will be going for COS from H1B to H4 and will produce leave of absence from OCT1, 2008 till date(no pay-stubs) and H4 will be based on my husbands H1b status and will produce his paystub and not mone.
Does it look right option?

Is it really possible to move back to H1 with a new company from EAD, in case 1> you have approved 140
2> you have not used the entire of 3 year extension that you received b'cos of approved 140,and started using EAD.
I am not sure we can do this.
I ran this past my attorney before I moved to EAD and he believed it was possible. He was not sure if the H1 approval will come with attached I-94 or if I would need to leave the US and return to activate teh H1. However what is certain is that the H1 approval will come through, as I would meet all the requirements. On what basis can they deny the H1?

When 140 is revoked USCIS generally send NOID and ask from a offer letter from intended(new) employer. If you can not provide a letter from new employer... they will deny 485.... sorry.
Your EAD is valid, but it is useful only if you have a new job.

This memo was discussed extensively on this forum in the past and many lawyers have given their opinion.
Summary: You don't need to worry. As long as you are on AOS, you are authorized to stay in the country irrespective of your I-94 expiry date.
Here is the memo
http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/revision_redesign_AFM.PDF
Here is what Ron Gotcher said:
I don't care what the non-binding policy memo says, it can't trump a duly promulgated regulation. Indeed, I don't think that they were trying to do that. The problem stems from the fact that the policy memo is a lot of inarticulate babble and is very hard to decipher. In any case, it is a memo, not a statute or a regulation and it must bow in the face of a regulation with contradictory information.

This is where you start showing streaks of schizophrenia ..
What do you hope to achieve?? that they will send your 485 to some "experienced" IO???
First..
None has ANY idea what's going on inside of USCIS.. by one account something like 30% of experienced adjudicators quit last year!
Second..
Even if lets say you get what you want.. what would that achieve??? ultimately your case gets decided on its merit..
But chances are people like you.. you will put another question and then 1 more and then 1 more..

.......you can work for a private for-profit enterprise too. But you should be able to satisfy the usual test for NIW such as Intrinsic merit, National interest etc(google the criteria).
If in the field of your work you have created an imapct which is national in scope, you have achieved academic distinction, have papers, citations, patents etc and can produce recommendation letters from your industry stalwarts... then NIW can be justified.
I am not an attorney.., ;) but I did the justification for my wife's self petition successfully. It worked for her, but may not necessarily hold up for every one. I think individual cases need to be evaluated for suitability and probability of success.
thanks,

Without a job offer from a national lab, it makes it hard to say why I want to skip the labor certification. Companies that need work of national interest now first ask for a green card before they give a job offer in a chicken and egg game. That I am nearing the end of 6-ye H1B may not be good enough reason to bypass labor. The most reasonable argument I can think of is that my stopping work will harm US national interests and no one else can do that work because I am special. What do you think?

how do you all intend to do that? A lot of larger clients I've seen have the preferred vendor policy and if the desi company is the preferred vendor, how do you eliminate them?
If you want to stay with the current client and eliminate the layer - It is completely depends on what kind of contract you signed with a preferred vendor or employer. There is no general how-to. If i were you, I will look for a new client with high billing rate.
