Here is my estimate on the timeframe:
Prepare job description etc. - 1 to 2 months (depends on company and attorney)
Prevailing Wages - 2 months (this is based on the current centralized processing)
Recruitment Process - 2 to 3 months (depends on company and attorney)
PERM Labor approval - 9 months (if it gets audited, it would take around 2 years)
I140 - 4 months (you can reduce it if you can file premium processing)
I485 - This depends on the EB category & VISA dates - if it is EB3 India, it would probably be 7-10 years or more
I am not trying to be pessimistic. This is based on what I have observed and read. I have been in this country for 10 years on H1B. I am currently waiting for my Prevailing Wages request to be processes (for my 3rd labor application). It is a long process, but as long as you are working for a good company that treats you well, you should be able to endure the pain.

Generally attorneys charge a retainer fee. What that means is they are willing to represent you regarding any issues with a case. Some services are covered with retainer fee and they may charge additional fee based on any extra work. For Example AC21 Retainer fee is around 750/- where they submit a G28. Then for any RFE they generally charge in the range of 250$.
Thanks for the reply. I understand the retainer fee but I guess what bothers me is why the attorney wasn't up front about the situation or simply charge for a consult then going ahead with a retainer when we simply thought there was something more involve to do with my case at the time.
Its the way that the situation was manipulated to get us to retain this attorney for further use when at the time it wasn't needed that feels fraudulent.
Thanks again!

Would appreciate if you could answer to my questions below

2) If so when do I have to leave company A or is there any way I can continue with Company A and get my GC processed through company B.
Thanks,

Hi Rosebell,
Thanks for the reply. How to show that labor is pending for more than one year? How to get a proof for that? Can I get it from any website?

You can have any no of transfers before the first transfer is approved but for the final transfer to get approved, all the in-between transfers are to be approved. One issue could be one in-between company withdrawing the H1-B application and another issue could be one in-between company not responding to an RFE in time.

Each month visa bulletin is preceded with a demand data. So bulletin should come today or tomorrow.
Check out data for China. It shows significant reduction from last month. Expectations are low for India but China will advance a lot in July.
If spillover kicks in (& it should in July) then both China and India will have to move together (exact same cutoff date, because the law says spillover visa's are to be used evenly by those in the same category. USCIS has been doing horizontal spillover, so all EB2's will be equally eligible and have the same cutoff.

usually a CPA can give an audited report ...or the bank auditors can
Is the company a Corp, LLC or sole prop?
>>The company is a Corporation. Can any CPA give an audit report... can you be more elaborative about the process of getting audited report... like what are we supposed to provide the CPA to get the audit report...

You get SS after you cross 55 or 58 I think. How knows by then they might bring some law to stop the SS for outsiders.
There is a archive thread on this already.Read it dear h1bs.
the only reason i'm staying here is to complete the 10 years of social security payments. leaving now would be foolish. this green card business is just a carrot to get endlessly humiliated.
does anyone have any knowledge of non-citizens claiming social security in india?
as per the SS, indian citizens who have contributed >= 10 years can claim SS payments in india.

has anyone actually seen this happen?

I submitted an AR-11 (address change) form on 3/13/2008. The LUD changed the next day to 3/14/2008.
However, the LUD changed again yesterday to 3/17/2008. Has anyone had experience with AR-11 and LUD updates. If so, please share if multiple LUD updates are the norm for AR-11 changes....
Thanks.

Any attorneys opinion? or people who were in similar situation?
remember, it's not my entire company being sold to another company. Only a fraction of company( a division) is being sold along with the assets( people,stuff etc).

They said she can start as soon as it it approved.Only thng i am worried about is when she wants to transfer H1b what are the hurdles have to be faced.I heard or enquired that as long as Quota is there she can transfer H1B.

Hi All
I worked for a company A till July 2006. Company A had applied for my Green Card using RIR process. I got my Labor certification approved and company A applied for I-140.
In August 2006 company B acquired company A. Company B moved me to a different physical location and different state.
Company B amended my I-140 application filed by Company A to preserve the priority date. Now company B is planning to file I-485 for this ongoing I-140 application.
My Questions:
Is there any risk for I-140 application since company B amended I-140 application filed by Company A?
I am asking so as company B moved me to a different state and labor used to file amended I-140 was based on company A and its location.

1.) Is it true that nurses do not need to undergo Labor Certification when applying for an immigrant visa because nurses are considered as shortage occupations? How does the labor certification process for nurses vs other professionals/workers differ? Is it the pre-certification and recruiting process (that does have to be completed) under PERM?
2.) If a nurse on H1B visa is petitioned by her current employer for green card, which is preferable (in terms of better chances of being approved, easier processing, lesser requirements): to petition her using the same position (specialty occupation), or as a staff nurse?

It is not a problem with EAD. I am on H1B. I have already received 2 temp. driving certificates. I am expecting one more temp. certificate before getting the original plastic card. The DMV officials told me that there are lot of immigrant people from India, China and Mexico. So the under-staffed dept requries more time to validate.

Q : Will this affect my ability to travel?
Possibly, if you leave the country prior to the completion of the receipting process and do not have the appropriate travel documents, you may have difficulty returning to the United States.
Ok so no travel unless you have AP...right?
We decided to wait until we received our I-485 notices (got them) or the AP (not yet).

Do I need to provide any proof during the interview stating he is my step son? or the documents between the mother and the son will suffice?
Proof that he is biological son of your wife (birth certificate).
