Thats fair and one compromise I am willing to make...
As I've mentioned in Rolling_Flood's thread, this issue has some merit and needs to be discussed. My personal take on this is that if you were eligible for an EB2 position at the time of filing the EB3 petition, you should be allowed to interfile..

Just got back to the US last night. Had visa interview in London on 14th January and got passport back on January 24th. Actually took six working days since there was a weekend and MLK day in the way. Twice as long as on previous occasions.
Booked my trip in October so thought I had left plenty of time for passport to come back. How wrong I was. Had to put flight back by two days and then only just made it.

AMY GOODMAN: But let me give you one more clip, and that is around the issue of the Minutemen.
LOU DOBBS: Sure.
AMY GOODMAN: This was the Minuteman Project, organizers calling their effort a peaceful protest over the government�s failure to secure its borders. Both the Mexican government and the Bush administration have described the Minutemen as vigilantes. You have been a vocal supporter.
LOU DOBBS: I just want to be clear to the Journal and to this audience: I support the Minuteman Project and the fine Americans who make it up and all they�ve accomplished, fully, relentlessly and proudly.
AMY GOODMAN: That�s you, Lou.
LOU DOBBS: That�s me.
AMY GOODMAN: Bill Parmley, a Minuteman leader in Goliad County in Texas, quit the group because of, what he described, widespread racism. Another Texas Minuteman, Janet Ahrens, had resigned because members, she said, wanted to �shoot the taco meat.� You never mentioned either of these people. Why not talk about these people quitting, because they�re concerned about how racist this group is?
LOU DOBBS: Well, frankly, I didn�t know about it. I don� think it�s�what makes them so newsworthy? And secondly, the reality is, the President called the Minutemen vigilantes immediately after they were formed. The idea that I would support volunteerism and the nature of the call to security on the border, I hope, doesn�t stun you too much, because the reality, again, is that there has never been an incident of violence involving the Minuteman organization, period. Do you want to take note of that?
AMY GOODMAN: Are you concerned with, among others, one of the founders of the Minutemen being found with a gun, patrolling the border; issues like these? This is of concern, when there are so many immigrants who are found in the desert dead, not clear why they die.
LOU DOBBS: Oh, are you implying that the Minutemen are killing them?
AMY GOODMAN: No. But just�
LOU DOBBS: Then why would you say such a thing?
AMY GOODMAN: My question is�
LOU DOBBS: That�s terrible, Amy. I mean, good Lord!
AMY GOODMAN: My question is, when�
LOU DOBBS: Let�s answer one question: has there ever been a single incident of violence recorded on the part of the Minutemen on the border?
AMY GOODMAN: I believe�wasn�t there�
LOU DOBBS: There has never been.
AMY GOODMAN: I�m not�haven�t there been cases of immigrants who come over the border, who have been chased, who have been shot at, who have been beaten?
LOU DOBBS: That would be an incident of violence. That would be an incident of violence, wouldn�t it? To my knowledge, there has never been an incident of violence on the part of the Minutemen.
AMY GOODMAN: But the idea of armed men on the border�
LOU DOBBS: Oh, come on!
AMY GOODMAN: �not authorized by the United States?
LOU DOBBS: Does it bother you that there are armed drug cartel members firing on law enforcement officers on the border, killing Mexican citizens, US citizens?
JUAN GONZALEZ: Absolutely.
LOU DOBBS: Does any of this bother you?
JUAN GONZALEZ: Absolutely does, yes.
LOU DOBBS: I would hope to heck it bothers you. Why would the Minutemen even be under discussion by comparison to that issue?
LOU DOBBS: Sure.

Well, all the jobs you mentioned in your message now falls in Zone 4 i.e. Eb3.
Only option that person may have now is to change career altogether in the fields where desi consulting companies do not operate.
I need to read up on the new zones implementation.
But if you may, please answer this question: If one wants to change jobs within the same company to a new job that falls in the same zone as his current one, can he do that without a new LCA?
The new job is in the same building/region; just some additional responsibility and would be in a different group than the present one.

�218,759 EB visa numbers available for recapture since 1994. See Page 34 in the report for the full breakdown. Click on the link for the Ombudsman report (http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/CISOMB_Annual%20Report_2007.pdf) May 2007.
What is the source for the number 218,000? Is this purely speculation or in some official reports? USCIS Ombudsman report, some official USCIS publication or from any other organization?

Lufthansa is another option for no transit visa, cheaper ticket than NW, Emirates or Singapore airlnies, little bit security check at Frankfurt when returning .....
with emirates, there is a route via dubai (no torture) and one via hamburg + Dubai. I traveled via the second one twice on emergencies. you are ushered in a square box of a building with barbed wires and armed (fully armed and body armored, hand gunned, you-mongrel-looking) guards. There is even a special
barbed wire line for 'special immigrant' (read asylum or illegal migrants) inside though i have not seen it used. then comes double wammy security checks (show-me-your-baby'smilk-is-edible type). There is one bathroom for each gender that has useless (over 10 months)faucets and one bar (no shop for food). the layover reminded me of concentration camps. But it was still better than $274 ;-)

qasleuth - You do not even deserve my reply. So you are free to write anything that you want!
why ? is that how you respond to a co-worker or manager at work, if you do not agree with them ? Repond like a grown up with rational arguments.
Setting aside moral and ethical arguments: three of your five suggestions are plain wrong, financially speaking:
taking new credit cards, buying a new car, renting an apartment. Interest rates are not locked and do you know, financial institutions can close your account and ask for the balance ? renters run credit report every time you extend your lease and can kick the renter out. These transactions may seem seamless for a person with decent credit but are extremely damaging for a person with very poor credit.
Leo2606, Being ethical is not a fancy word in business, in the long run (I am not talking about decades) your partners, customers and lenders will know about your practices and run away. Ethics and Morals are not something you take lightly especially when you are running your own business.

Being unethical can lead to legal problems apart from business losses. There is prudence and judgement which needs to be exercised, does not mean you do not have to be smart.

I am going for concurrent 140 & 485. Can I apply for EAD and AP now? or do I need to have my 140 cleared before I can apply for EAD and AP?
Hi Guys,
I am also in the same situation. Recently I changed the employer. My new employer is going to file I-140 and I-485 using the Labor substitution.
I also want to file EAD and AP but the company attorney is saying it is safer to file the EAD and AP once the I-140 is approved. Can any one please answer this is true or not? Should I wait for I-140 to be approved or should I try convince the attorney to file EAD and AP also along with I-140 and I-485.
I have one more question which is if We do not file the EAD and AP along with the I-485 and once the priority dates are retrogessed. Can we file
EAD and AP even though the priority dates are not current.
I would appreciate the answers.
Thanks

According to ALIPAC every immigrant is 'illegal'. Who cares? They don't make the laws in this country.
I don't understand where is the conflict here. The website above - ALIPAC - is "Americans for Legal Immigration". From what I read in their website, they want to stop illegal immigration and they support legal immigration. Unless they have a hidden agenda, they should be supporting IV's letter campaign.
How is this in conflict? Am I missing something?

I read on the murthy.com website that the UCSIS needs to go through the Kentucky Consular Center to obtain the PIMS verification. The number for the KCC is 606-526-7500. I am going to try and call them to see if they can give me any information on timelines.
For those people that have not left the US yet, it might be worth it to talk to your lawyers and see if there is any way you can have your names added to this database before you travel - that should eliminate any hassles once you leave the country. Much easier to try and do it from there rather than from here.
There is no number to call here to check on status - I have been sending emails to mumbaiNIV@state.gov but have not received any response from them yet. Not really a surprise. If anyone tries the number above and gets some response please let the rest of us know.
Has anyone done this? We need to go to Chennai embassy for a first time L1 stamping in a few months. If I can do this from here, that will really help.
Any help is appreciated.

You must be from another world.
washingtonpost, nytimes, yahoo etc covered this already.
Even USCIS has posted a note on its website. Wake up.
This campaign was a huge success and still giving dividends.
I don't know what do you mean by success. as far as media coverage is concerned, Fireign media (India, China or elsewhere) doesn't help. It's local media, which can create some usefull awareness. How does awareness in a different country helps?? I don't know why even people talking coverage about foreig media?????
Sometime back.. I also read some comment talking about involving Indian govt. in this.... Bullshit.. What does a different country's govt has to do with it!!!
Point is.. don't get too excited for having done nothing... Do something substantial and keep doing.

Let it be 5000 min/pm. Still, 5000 min/month give about 2.7 hours per day. Talking 2.7 hours to India per 24 hours is unusual for many. I don't even get 30 minutes to talk. Even if we want to talk 2.7 hours you will be distrbing people in India, as they may be watching cricket or Tv serials.:)
Any way, this pan is simply superb compare to the situation before 10 years. Compare to many phone providers/cable compaines, vonage customer service is simply great, at least in my experience.
only down side of free 2.7 hrs/day is that the in-laws would now expect more calls from their US son in laws:) IV could you please hide this discussion from the inlaws in india?

Here is the news that is very important but often overlooked in the immigration spectrum:
"Senate OKs Patriot Act renewal sends to House"
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/11638713/
Why this is the news is good and relevant from the point of view EB provisions?
Because EB provisions (section 8001) were thrown out of S.1932 because of the differences between key players over the Patriot act. Now that this is out of the picture, at least there is one less thing to worry about.
