Can an employer revoke the I-140 after 180 days of I-485 pending?
Yes. However, AC-21 can save the I-485 for the beneficiary even if I-140 is revoked/canceled as long as the date of such request is dated after 180 calendar days of I-485 filing date.
Not a legal advice.

On July 15th I have filed for renewal of EAD for both of us, today I got approval email where as my wife status says received and pending and NO LUD either. Infact she needs EAD as she is been working on EAD and it expires in October. I am on H1. Why like that? My PD will be current from September as per September bulletin.
AJ
My husband's EAD was approved last week. I filed both the EADs (for me and him) together in July (Receipt Date: July 30th). My application has no LUD so far. His EAD was approved last week. This is just weird. When both the applications were filed together why look at one and not look at the other?
your spouses will get their EAD approvals in week to 10 days for sure.

On the topic of �getting some of our measures during lame-duck session�, I am seeing some speculation (on other sites) that there is a chance these measures getting discussed during that session. I know these are just educated guesses, but it�s encouraging. see following:
================
From another thread on this site got this link, about Yale/Ivy League grads not getting H1B�s. There is quote from someone who thinks some immigration measures may be approved in Lame-duck session.
http://www.yaledailynews.com/Article...rticleID=33577
The House bill, the Senate bill, or some compromise may be approved during Congress' lame-duck session after the general elections in November, Yale-Loehr said.
=======================
This is from a leading corporate immigration law firm�s web page. They provide headlines and commentary on new regulations. There is some speculation about immigration measures getting discussed during lame-duck session:
The Road From Here:
On a broader scope, key House and Senate members maintain their position that Congress will examine comprehensive immigration reform in the period after the November election and before the start of the next Congress in January 2007, known as the "lame-duck" session. However, many of those involved in the debate over immigration reform question the ability of negotiators to reach an agreement, given the wide ideological gap between the House and Senate with respect to treatment of America's undocumented population.

your comments / speculation / educated guess.......??...

we are talking about inclusion logic here. Not the exclusion logic.
I do see in sec 203 how some one becomes eligible for "eb quota". I dont see ebdependents there. I see only eb primary.
I am sorry, I am not interested to carry this debate forward for the fun of debating. I strongly urge you to read sec 203. Thanks for understanding.
Do you see anywhere in INA mentioning that "EB-dependents should NOT be filed in EB-category". How is it a "mis-interpretation" then?
Again like I mentioned before you can archive the same goal (which you care about) via a different approach.

Generally speaking two recent pay stubs are sufficient to verify that you remain with the same employer. It is possible that if your petition is pending for more than 10 or 12 months, either a job offer letter or additional pay stubs will be requested.
So you were not referring to Employment Letter for GC job, rather Current Employment Letter while discussing how to file I-485.
GREAT!!! I hope you are not filing your I-485 application yourself.
What is the Current Employment Letter has to do with I-485?
Good Luck.

This thread is very interesting. Ppl are coming up with various hypothesis to get their own GC fast. Come on folks, the GC system was good when it was devised in 1990. It is just that the system never kept up with the changing times. The inflows to the GC system kept changing (more H1's, L1's....) but the outflow (visa numbers) are still fixed, and hence there is too much overflow and choking in the system. Isn't it time for us to unite and stand as a single voice and work towards removing the bottleneck (visa numbers).
It is easy to say on forum how USCIS should work, but in reality can it work. For example Just try to convince U'r colleague (sitting in u'r adjacent cubicle) or even U'r boss how to perform his/her work. Then see how the response is. If we (IV members) aren't aligning on basic issue and solution, how much credibility would we be having to go and ask USCIS how they should run their office.
Come on folks, be realistic. We all know a legislative fix is the only way to solve the current front-log so why can't we organize at various levels (county, state, national) and work towards such a legislative fix. The key to that is to get active in U'r state chapters and do grass-root level work towards a legislative fix.
If the system is streamlined the out of order processing worst case might be in weeks (can we not tolerate that) compared to yrs now...
INSTEAD OF SAYING IV SHOULD DO THIS OR THIS etc.... WHY DOESN'T ANYONE SAY THAT I/WE WILL DO THIS SO THAT IV CAN ACCOMPLISH say TASK x

Madam Rice is trying to divert the issue by telling skilled professional from all over the world wants to come here....This is not the issue.....
they want you here. Then they want to keep you in the trap to pay you way less than the market, and ruin your career (no promotions, no career change, nothing - just keep hacking away at the computer, and the boss takes the credit/money).
That is the way slavery started in USA. From a practice called indentured labour.

Guys,
It's almost 3 weeks today since I've opened SRs for my self and my spouse for not receiving FP notice and we haven't got any notice yet.
I want to know if some one who opened a SR for FP and did not receive any FP notice after the wait period expired, what did you do? Is taking an infopass the next step for missing FP notices or just wait and watch?
Thanks and good luck to all.

looivy, Please have a conversation and don't turn this into a pissing contest.
What the other post said is very true. We have 45000 members in this board, a significant majority of them are EB3. Even if 50% of the members 22000 (as an example ) contributed 25$ each, IV would have more than half a million bucks. With this money EB backlog plight could easily come out in mainstream media. Just because you, as a person, contributed does not mean all of EB people are contributing. Realizing our problem is the first step in solving it. Problem is people are not willing to contribute to IV, either their money or time, but want issues solved. Doesn't work that way..
Again the original poster is correct in his statement.
my .02$
Correct me If I am wrong
out of 45K members let's assume 22.5 K are EB2 and 22.5 K are EB3.
Even If 11.25K (EB2)+11.25K (EB3) = 22.5 K (Total) contributes $25 Each Problems gets solved ... but the catch is ....
Even 11.25 K EB2 members are not contributing because they don't have to as their problem is solved
Even 11.25 K EB3 members are not contributing because they are not sure even with this contribution their problems gets solved.
Many people are saying that EB3 members are not contributing that's why you are lagging etc...
EB3 Members who contributed are feeling the pain because even after contribution they are not getting the results and EB2 members who didn't contributed are getting the results...

Supreet:
Based on my extensive research on the topic:
1. You can safely take the 1099 contract offer on EAD. In case of an EVL RFE, your recruiting company (the one giving you paycheck) should be able to give you an EVL. As I've noted below, the job need *not* be "permanent," unlike what others have mentioned on this forum. The EVL needs to only mention your job title, duties, and start date, not salary (unless specifically asked for). You do *not* need to provide any paystubs.
2. For salary received on 1099, you'll file taxes as "self-employed." IRS website has extensive resources on filing as self-employed vs. LLC.
3. Under corp-to-cop arrangement, you need to have a tax ID. Many clients/"bodyshoppers" will only consider a C2C arrangement. You can either do this by setting up your own LLC OR by incorporating (as a C-corp or S-Corp--again refer to IRS website or PM me if you need more info) OR through another corporation (e.g., on someone holding your H1B (you being their W2 employee)--not needed in your case). You can file your taxes as a "Self-employed" on any of these options, and can also claim deductions on job-related expenses (e.g., mileage, travel+lodging if you're traveling out of town)--so these options are monetarily better than being on W2, which is working not as self-employed.
4. You're never needed to "file AC21." First, no USCIS resource mentions procedure for that. Second, you're are *not* required by USCIS to inform them of every job change if you're invoking AC21.
Bottom line: Go ahead with this opportunity on 1099, report this income as "Self-employed," deducting any job-related expenses, and ensure that the recruiting company will give you an EVL *if* needed. I'm *guessing* that if self-employed, you can also write your own EVL (stating start date as your W2-job layoff date and a "projected" yearly income, if asked for). In that case, registering your company with the county (~$20) or opening an LLC (~$400) may help. Last, no need to "file AC21" or inform the USCIS of your job change, since it's not required.
Thanks so much everyone for your replies. I am planning to go for this job, I guess it will be better to be self-employed rather than unemployed.
However, a few follow up questions.
1. I realize on 1099 I will not have any pay stubs or offer letter (as pointed by someone). How can I respond to a Employment Verification RFE? What documentory proof will I need to answer the RFE?
2. If I can get an offer letter for 'Contract to Hire' will that be an appropriate response to any potential EVL RFE? Will it be ok if the full time joing date is say 3 months from now? First 6 months on 1099 and then full time hire?
3. Is it better to go corp-to-corp through another vendor instead of 1099? That way I can have pay stubs/offer letter through a vendor company which will produce my pay stubs (even though I will lose about 20% of my billing rate)?
Just an additional detail, my job duties are going to be exactly same as what was approved on my labor.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Well since INA doesnt specifically state anything regarding this, the regulation CFR takes over.
Our focus of discussion is ebquota, how much and who is eligible. That is clearly documented in INA.
INA also clearly describes family based.
