1. Your old employer can revoke your I-140, however they cannot do anything to your I-485 application. Technically this should not matter since you are eligible for AC-21 (greater than 180 days, same or similar job).
2. Unfortunately, for one reason or another USCIS has been mistakenly issuing immediate denials (no NOID or RFE - just straight denial) for people with revoked I-140s.
3. After the I-485 denial, the process involves filing an MTR to explain to the USCIS that your case should be portable based on the AC 21 law, Yates memo etc.
4. If you do not have H1b, and are solely dependent on EAD, then you should technically not work when I-485 gets denied. However, there are 2 schools of thought out there: one school believes not to work since the 485 is denied, and another school believes to work since EAD was not explicitly revoked, and since you believe USCIS wrongly denied your I-485. Also, the latter school argues that since your MTR would be opened withing 2-3 months, you can accrue less than 180 days presence, and use 245k to seek pardon for that. Its all about the risk appetite of the new company and their lawyers.
5. Based on my research, it looks like MTR is taking anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months, with the latter being more likely due to the increase in MTRs lately. My advice here will be to discuss all these options with your new employee, to see what their thought is. Obviously, if you feel they will tell you to go home, and won't keep the job open for 2-3 months, then it might make sense to either find another employer who will be willing to file H1b, or stay put.
6. I invoked AC 21, moved on EAD, and got denied last week. I had done all my research, and got guarantee from prior company that they would not revoke I-140. I called them after i got the CRIS email and they said they had not revoked I-140. So i am still waiting for Denial Notice to see reason why.
Bottom line, AC 21 comes with risk, and you have to be ready to ride the wave, if things are to get delayed or you are to be out of work for some time. If there was anything I could have done differently, I would have REALLY forced new employer to file H1b on my behalf. I feel i laid down too easily on this request after my previous company said they would not revoke I-140. I did ask the legal team of the new company, and they said no. I should have discussed with my bosses, since they really wanted me, and would have probably overriden the legal team.
But life goes on...

You did not read it carefully. The person actually NOTIFIED the USCIS about AC21. However, USCIS failed to record it.
That's was his/her problem. If the person have not notified the USCIS about the job change, everything would've been fine :) I am not going to argue with you. If one of hundreds thousand cases had an issue, it does not mean we have to rush and file AC21 every time we change a job. That will just create more work for the USCIS and increase our chances for RFE/denials. That's my opinion. You are entitled to yours. BTW, I changed jobs and did not file anything. No problems.

It looks like guys from AP are running away from all the mess their state is currently in. On one hand there's that YSR's son trying to create havoc for the ruling Govt. His dad and himself being the most corrupt politicians the state has ever seen. On the other hand, there's this filthy congress high command trying to counter him. Its like CORRUPT1 vs CORRUPT2 trying to get the throne so that they can remain CORRUPT. And in the wings are parties like TDP, TRS and PRP --- Really, is there a political party in AP (or even India) where one can call it corrupt free? ha ha
I'm not a gulti, but I don't think u can really blame them :). Unfortunate but true :mad:

I got LUDs on 2/10 on both mine and my wife's 485. My wife got an RFE email on 02/13. I do not know what this means either...
Looks like lot of EB-3 applications who filed 485 at the end of june got LUDs last week, some with RFE and some just soft LUD.
I got LUD on 2/10 for both my 485 and my wife's 485., though no RFE so far.

with all due appreciation to the work done by IV, this suggesstion is not thought out.
You just cannot run away from your past. For example your existing applications to USCIS will have your india/<country> passport nos. There are many ways they can trace you.
So growing a moustache etc, or dressing like a mexican will not help.

No she cant becuase her visa appointment is on Aug 13.
If her visa app. is Aug 13 (I assume it is at a consulate in your home country), she will not get her passport with visa stamped for atleast a few days. This is from FAQ section of chennai consulate in India. So plan accordingly.
When will I get my passport after the interview?
If you qualify for a visa, the passport with the visa will be returned to you by courier in a few days.
Can I get my passport immediately after the interview?
It is the policy of the Consulate to send your visa to you using our courier service.

Any update on no. of fax sent. - Just curious.
I think whey you try to send fax, it says how many faxes are sent so far. After that no info. If anybody is sending the fax, can you just update how many #10 and #11 were sent.

Ok..., but can you tell me how they are approving cses for PD EB3'2003 or Any EB3 cases daily, when EB3 is 'U', do you have answer for this.
Since ther is plenty of approval going on everyday.
They are not following any PD for the last 3-months approval, I don't believe any rule they have.Now they are already under pressure , and the pressure started already.They have to clean up.I don't think they will wait untill next year June, since Election is on Sept'2008.

My PD is Nov 2004.
I do not have any dreams of my 485 being cleared this month as my I140 is pending at TSC since April 2007. Just last week we got an RFE and the attroney is working on the response.

The 111th Congress begins its lame duck session on November 15th. The major item on the agenda will be what to do with President Bush�s tax cuts which are set to expire on December 31, 2010. This election was a major boost to the Republicans and it will affect the tone of this session. There are two immigration items on the agenda. Just before the election, Sen. Menendez promised that he would bring Comprehensive Immigration Reform to the floor during this session, and Sen. Reid made a firm promise of a floor vote on DREAM. Sen. Reid won a convincing victory over his rival due to the staunch support of Latino voters in Nevada. Many activists for DREAM worked hard for Sen. Reid�s campaign helping him cinch his victory. We urge Majority Leader Reid to keep his promise for a floor vote for DREAM during the upcoming session. The country is watching to see if the two Democratic Senators will keep their promises.
NO CIR
Maybe Dream Act
Anything for us in the lame duck session?

It means, if at all they have any doubts, they may issue RFE, but if you have a good relationship in responding to those RFEs using company letters etc, there is no problem. Good relation means, employer has to suppprt you always in case of any RFE, thats it. He needs stand on your side. Then there is no problem. But if he won't stand on your side, then it is a problem. So, thats why relation with employer is very important when on H1 or EB.
Thanks for finding the link. I remember reading it some time in the past, but couldn't find it.
dpp, Please read through my wifes case above and in your 'opinion', will there be a problem?

You think they will go thru thousands of applications and check the tracking number? Besides I don't think they keep the original mailing envelope. So I think asking us to keep the tracking number is just BS.
If you refer to the 485 processing SOP, the front of the mailing envelope is kept together with the application.
