In September 2001, I came here on visitor visa with my mother and resided here till today (I was 15). I went through 4 yrs of high school, got my GED followed by an associate degree from community college and now I'm an undergrad student pursuing my bachelor degree; will graduate in a year. Meanwhile, my mother became a U.S. citizen through marriage when I was a sophomore in college, simultaneously my I-130 was approved and now waiting for the visa availability; the priority date: Dec 08, 2006, F1.
Problem is that I turned 21 on October 13, 2006 right passed the time criterion for the Child Status Protection Act which technically makes me "aged-out" by about 2 months (filing date being DEC06), so I think that I am not be qualified as an immediate relative.
Currently, the visa availability date is at 15FEB06 which is getting close to DEC06.
Few months ago, I received a letter from NVC requesting DS-3032 and I-864 forms which I've filled out and sent to them but I regarded the fact that I live in the United States on an overstayed visa!!! I should have sent them a notice to adjust my status instead of paying the $70 and $400 fees that I already paid, apparently. I am not leaving the country to interview overseas with the NVC because that would put me in a 10 year ban obviously, I also do not understand how I can adjust my status with the USCIS once the priority date becomes current when I do not have a status as of now! So, I might've done all these for nothing. I've talked to some lawyers on the phone but they have completely shut my hopes down (maybe because I haven't paid them?). I do not have the money to pay for an expensive lawyer because all my funds can barely afford my college.
On top of everything, DREAM act just got rejected from the congress as I'm getting ready to graduate from college. I have no idea what to do.
With my college degree and knowledge that I have acquired over the years, I believe that I am an inevitable asset to this country but I am deeply saddened by the fact that American Dream is not becoming a reality for me. I know I can do more for the world but I'm immobilized by the system which I don't see any loopholes to at this point. I understand the views of the Republicans but I really wish that they can give one more look at the DREAM act. We do not intentionally break the law. I would actually be a law-abiding and a model citizen if I ever become one.
Anyhow, I lost all my hopes and dream in this country at this point in time, that I think the only/best way is to move back to where I am from immediately upon graduation.
If there is any hope, your help/advice/inputs will be greatly appreciated!

Based on experience on waiting time of recently approved EAD's, on an average how long does it take to renew the EAD.

I don't think that your footer uses up a lot either. It doesn't bog down my system nearly as much as some of the multiple movie clip effects that some use. I think that's because a) it's not very big. B) it's only one transparency which is actuall on top of another image (the one on the bottem of the layer stack is not moving over another image), and C) The top one is fogged.. (which may or may not actually make a difference. )
either way.. I don't find your footer to be a problem. Processors can handle a lot. When I say that it bogs down the processor more than another thing, it just means that it does that... not necessarily that it bogs it down to the point where you can actually see it.

W"oaaa thats a col idea man -- the UI is a bit hard to use - especially for clients with no design app experience-- maybe u need to lead people thru the coices-- eg first choose a page layout, pick one of these.. now ...... something like that ..
but wow nice little app, a lot of work I am sure, Looking forward to seeing the finished product. ( its very processor hungry? - hard to use sometimes because of this)
- keep trying - Kudos to u man

I have my labor approved as consultant but the Occ code is 189.167.030 which is Program Manager. I am not sure which one is valid. Also when using AC21 should the new job description match the responsibilities stated for the Job Description or what the employer described as job duties in the application?
Any thoughts???
There is a title called consultant. I have labor and I-140 approved on this title.

Search has a common syntax across the web, not just for Google. Perhaps you were sounding synonomous with Google.
For those of you who haven't tried yet, try out Bing - its an awesome Search tool. With Yahoo merging it's Search properties with Bing - it is bound to gain more marketshare.

Also, how USCIS knows I am working on EAD and not H1B (assuming I have valid EAD and H1B)
If you change from h1b to EAD you have to file one form (name i forgot) and your employer will send it Immigration office.

Thank you all for your valuable input. I have a follow up question :
Will I be breaking any laws if I just do voluntary marketing and promotional work for my company in India.
Here is the situation :
My clients will be in USA and they will be paying my company in India. I will be on the board of the company , and will be doing voluntary marketing and promotional work for the company while residing in USA.
Thank you for your time.
As long as you dont get paid for the marketing & promotional work in the US, you will not be breaking any immigration laws.

Dear Admin, sincerely appreciate your encouraging words. 10+ Yrs in the country and another 10 yrs to go before seeing the light appears to be highly depressing considering current economic uncertainities.
If it wasn't for the patch up by Immigration dept in 2007, this country would have seen Indians forced to head back home by the 10000's. And those that were fortunate enough to retain jobs or move on to new ones by porting AC-21 are forced to stay in the SAME role with no relief coming from the Govt for AC-21 which would then allow them to get promoted or recognized for their hardwork. Imagine the shock my boss had when I had to refuse promotion as that would jeopardize my GC(expected to be approved in the next 10 years)? And if that doesn't bother you enough, then once every 2 years(thankfully EAD is now valid for 2 yrs), you start fasting and praying that your EAD gets renewed without issues. You get the drift now, don't you?
And that is not to say I do not acknowledge the efforts your team has been putting in. I, along with the many 1000's, truly appreciate the selfless and noble efforts your team has been constantly putting in to bring about bigger changes. THANK YOU!!

This is from reading in other threads here, if you switch to EAD and give up your H1 status you can no longer go back to the same H1 petition. You will have to apply for H1 again and then be part of the H1 lottery. Again this is my understanding I am not a lawyer.

advantage I will have is I am guaranteed to stay till my 9th year H1 expires which still has 2+ yrs left, and at the same time take second job on EAD and travel on AP. If I choose to switch to EAD then if the 485 decision is against then I would have no option of staying here.

Did anyone get their GC Approvals from USCIS Local Offices which are pending after the interview is complete? If anyone is waiting for local office cases what is the process they are following and how is the approval process?
I am waiting for my approval of my EB2 India with PD Nov 2004. it is pending in San Jose Local office
I guess applications pending at local office are unlucky guys :-(

Let me add one more wrinkle:
Do you guys think I would lose my right to use EAD if I move to another employer by transferring my H1B? (I still have 2 years on it).

Sorry to hear about your luck. Like Skalra mentioned, I too would look into using your AP to re-enter. You said that you had already received your EAD, so I'm assuming you applied for AP too? Otherwise I think you'll just have to weather it out. Based on other posts here I think it'll take 4-6 weeks to get verification done.
And can they really just hold your passport at the embassy? Can't you request to have it returned, if for example, you want to use the AP option? Perhaps some other scholars here can answer that question.

I doubt if a Masters qualify for EB1. But if you filed under EB1, then you should be able to file I485 immediately as that category is CURRENT. Check and confirm the category your employers filed and post your question again.
There is no way you can file under EB1
You can go max to Eb2 or Eb3
if its big co you work for then they will stick to eb3
if its some tolly molly software co then u get eb2
either way you are screwed.
Cheers

The new job role must have a 50% different job duties and if it does have a requirement of EB2 then it is possible.
With the same job role it is not Possible .

Since 2000, a total of 182,694 work-based visas have not been given out because the immigration agency had fallen behind in processing applications, according to the 2007 report of the immigration agency’s ombudsman.

This is true for most full time positions. I used to work for Wachovia and after merger with Wells Fargo they even withdrew approved I-140s, refused to file responses for perm audits and off course start new GC process. I left after working from them for 5 years. Idea is not to scare you, but just be careful. As someone adviced above, give you best shot in interviews and once you have an offer ask them to confirm in writing that they will process GC in EB2 immediately on joining. Dont join if they dont give you firm assurance. And once you join, start working on this process immediately.
Can't agree more. That is the issue with large companies. If you have a very, very unique skill set and your Manager is very strong that helps. Even that is out of the window in case of acquisition's/bankruptcies (don't see both happening to Oracle though). They even withdraw H1, if you have filed one after layoff.
