I have come across some cases where GC aplication I140 was reopened after being approved. So this is no surprise. While I could not find the reasons fully in many cases, why cases were reopened as people tend to hide the true reasons. I think for GC applications the reasons may have included-- suspicion of fraud/complaint against the employer/Ability to pay after seeing more GC applications in the same company and thus reopening past cases/Bona fide intension of the employee to join the company after seeing some irregularity in the immigration applications/too many GC applications or H1B applications from the same company and thus a red flag for an H1B dependent employer.
The best solution in such cases is to first find out the reasons and weakness in your case. Each case is different and one cannot generalize. So each applicant will know their reasons. If the case is reopened, then don't panic. But if you get an RFE, the immediately contact a good lawyer and answer it.
Thanks Pappu.
I have already contacted my previous employer's law firm and also my current employer's law firm regarding the developement's.
As you rightly said, each case is different so it is very difficult to generaize. I did google for any similar situation, but found out that all of the cases which were reopened were for I-765 , I-485 and may be as u pointed out for I-140.
But an H1 which was approved an year ago, I have'nt heard of anysuch thing.
There has been no fraud, mis-interpretation, complaint on my part and the niether did the law firm nor the US insurance firm...I am confident about that....
Lets see what the notice says..and I will update everyone of the findings...

Boy, you are two kinds of crazy
1) You ignored the point people have life and do things to be happy in life. You choose a job that makes you happy. Then apply for GC either EB3 or EB2.
You say you have chosen PHD, and you came out low on money. What were you smoking when you chose Phd and also thought you would make money?
2) I cannot change my classification and port it like it is my application. Because simply it is not. At the same time I do not want to leave my 6 figure job with benefits ( yeah you heard it right and damn right I worked hard for it like you did for your Phd)
And yeah India is a great country and would love to go back someday, but not today. Irony is I know for a fact that I will have better life in India than in US given my family background. But I will not let any struggle in my life go waste.
PS: I have a US Masters with a 4.0. I have got offers for Phd which I chose not to do because it does not interest me.
..."who were qualified for EB2 but applied in EB3. " ...Exactly my point. Technically I am qualified for EB1 but filed as EB2, hence i need to play by the rules governing EB2. Now if i begin lamenting that I am qualified for EB1 which is current and life is unfair since i am in EB2, how much sense would that make? My point is Don't crib if EB3 is retrogressed...use the system and become EB2, port your priority date, which is ofcourse dependent upon finding an EB2 job !!! All of this nonsense .."i pray someone does something for EB3" is going to get no one anywhere !! Fight for comprehensive immigration reform or HR 5882 recapture BUT for god's sake Do not blame the EB2 - India people who have played by the rules and are in a favorable position today relative to EB3 !!
The lawsuit against PD porting makes sense from an EB2 perspective and they are right to go ahead with it. Porting your PD from EB3 to EB2 makes sense from an EB3 perspective and every EB3 should try to do it before this door closes, if it does.

A lot was said above but some basic things still need clarification.
I do believe that I HAVE THE RIGHT to get my LCA adjudicated in 2-3 months time (OK, make it 6 months, having in mind you are dealing with an inefficient administration).
I do believe that I HAVE THE RIGHT to know in short term (2-3 months, not 3-4 years !) if I am eligible for permanent residency.
I do believe that I HAVE THE RIGHT to know how long (if approved) will take the I-485 process.
These are clear, simple questions that require clear, simple answers. Getting these answers (NO is also an answer) in a reasonable period of time is a right, not a privilege...
No I want the RIGHT to get my GC as soon as I land here on a H1B. They should give me the GC at the airport itself. I'm not waiting one day even. ;)

Hi letstalklc
Thanks for your reply.
"SBI will update only once in the morning" Just wanted know the morning of India or USA ?
Ok, I just did myself and man you are RIGHT.
Today's exchange rate is [USD 4001 10000 48.07]
and I got ($$$ X 48.07) - 25.
Many thanks for the knowledge.
I am not sure if ICICI also does the same, because I too have stooped using their service. And you know what, I called when once when I had a very bad exchange rate given. I said that I will quit using your service and surprise surprise they didn't care. And ,now, So Do I.
That is India time....
If you transfer less than 1000 USD to outside SBI, they will charge 25 rupees, the only problem is that they will not specify that charges any where in the transaction.....but it will be accurate all the time....

First of all Congratulations desi#### and thanks for continuing to support IV.
Interesting discussion going on. Yes, I agree that most of us here are waiting for our GC and some of them go on to become US Citizens.
I believe that becoming a citizen of any country is a person's choice, so let us not give desi### a hard time here.:o
But I certainly do not think it is an 'achievement' to get a US citizenship, just because it implies indirectly it is an 'achievement' to let go off Indian citizenship. Nothing meant to offend you desi#### but it hurts when one reads such a statement somewhere deep inside the mind. But hey, as I said earlier, to each his own and noone should be judging others in their decisions.
And it is not only Indians becoming US citizens every year. There are others too.
Personally, even with all the advantages as stated above of being a US citizen, I will never let go of my Indian passport. Even if the authorities give it to me tomorrow in a lottery;) Never.
Why? Because my identity, my rich heritage, my family roots, my parents, my culture everything is Indian and am proud of it. There are lot of sentimental and emotional attachments. I was going through the OCI articles today after reading this discussion.
It is not exactly a dual citizenship. Some clauses are no voting rights! No Indian Passport!
Getting a GC is another thing, but when I decide to go back after a couple of years, I would definitely want to retain my voting rights. ! I rest my case.

These consulting firms are really annoying. USCIS should try to close this loophole.
Like I said, I did not catch the whole speech, but from what I heard, he was not talking completely against it, he mentioned that businesses need more H1B's and should be able to hire foreign talent.
He was mainly against abuse by big consulting firms (he gave out a statistic that 20K of the H1B went for 8 or 9 of the top consulting firms or something like that).
At least there is something happening..... we have only two weeks....... this may be our only chance this year to attach anything EB

i agree with ash0210...there is a lot of "money" discussion going on lately.
The idea should be to convert thus-far-non-contributors to contributors - not to make closed forums - you wont expand the market that way. The 3 month trial idea is a good one - but people will find ways to abuse it also.
PS: I am a monthly contributor.

In same vein, driving on road is privillege not a right.
With 'privillege' you have to follow existing rules religiously then if it was a 'right'.
In anycase, what we can only do with existing law is work with law makers and not protest.
Thanks again for nice discussion.

Well if we were to carry your reasoning a little bit further ...being a citizen of a country, any country, is only a privilege and not a right as you have to follow the rules and laws of the country.
The actual difference is in the definition as has been pointed out earlier.....
"right" - is something you can ask for because you think it is reasonably fair
"privilege" - is something you are not entitled to or deserve but nevertheless get because someone condescended to give it to you.
By the above definitions what would would classify getting permanent residence as.... the answer lies in the broader way of how we look at life and live it.
Do we always live in fear and cower in front of real and imagined threats - the GC is then a privilege.
Or do we live an honest life - do the best we can - and stand up for what we think is right or wrong irrespective of whether our lives are directly affected or not. The GC then is a right.
Getting a GC in United States is our dream. Following rules and following laws of the system is all what we can do. We can only highlight the defects in the system and ask for a change.
We live a honest life not out of fear of getting caught, but because we believe that that is the right thing to do.
If you are a citizen and stand up for what is right or wrong, then the concerned authorities should seriously look into it.
But if you are not a citizen and stand up for what is right or wrong, then you may be appreciated for that and receive a thank you note. The concerned authorities may or may not pay attention to your concerns. I may be wrong but this is what i feel about it at this time.
Convince me otherwise and i will change my thinking.
In the later case, if you approach authorities in a systematic and professional way and place your concerns like how our immigrationvoice is doing, chances are we will succeed in our efforts.
Thanks
sri

Based on my understanding once 485 is filed, one can only get one year H1b extension it does not matter if one uses EAD/AP.

It took almost 4 1/2 years to get the labor certification and now its almost 17 months since my I-485 is pending approval.

Since, just about everyone benefits some way or the other from this forum, why not charge a regular fee.
And start paying back the monies spent by the core team.
I second that: Reimburse Core and make IV a paid site.
Perosnally , more contributions to follow.

Agreed that this will throw out all the crappy body shoppers. This is what we need in future not to make it difficult for future h1-b or other people. We should infact support this bill as this will weed out many Indian Body shoppers and benefit everyone.
This is nothing new but most of it is just implementing what is already in low. Thats my take on it.
Throw your GC and become H1...then you will understand the meaning of this bill

Folks,
This my copyright and very much pertain to our situation:
*********************
I left my world in search of prosperity
The prosperity is taking an eternity
My struggle is long and daunting
Making it more and more frustrating
Life at times seems uncontrollable
Flowing with the time unstoppable
Graying hairs testify for the feeling
Fat belly making me further unappealing
Sometimes I think of going back
Try to gather the courage that I lack
But the world I left is not the same any more.
And the world I am in, has lost its lure.
I am on the crossroad of my life
One is forward, one is left and other is right.
I don�t like the choices shown
May be I would have to create a world of my own
