CORBA, is a Federal Government law to save individuals who loose job. Every insurance company should provide you this insurance for about 6 months (not sure about the length and price) at the Employer negotiated price. You should get a notification from your current insurance company each time you change your employer.
Then its upto you to take it for that limited time before you get your next job. What happens if we dont take the insurance in between? Next time you take insurance, if they find that u dont have insurance for some time, then they will not cover any pre existing conditions and they might ask you to take some tests. Its all headache.
But its worth finding out more details rather than ignoring it.

Quetions to Gurus. I did read in so many forums since long time but did not get a clear understanding around salary.
1) What is the meaning of "There should not be very huge variance in income levels."
Does it mean while moving from one job to another (1 time)?
2) What if the GC is filed 8 years ago and the person is still waiting but got an average of
10% hike every year. Is that a problem?
Generally speaking: There is NOTHING in the INA nor AC-21 that prohibits one from getting salary increases. As long as you do at your work what is consistent with the approved form I-140, you salary can go up, and in normal circumstances, should go up periodically. I think what the previous member mentioned was that if, for instance, your wage specified on labor and I-140 was going to be 50k/year, u changed employers and is 150k/year, that can raise a question whether or not u do the same thing as u did before, and if your job duties still match with your approved form I-140. Having said that, regular salary changes are not a problem as long as you earn more than the prevailing wage determination. I hope this answers your both questions.
Best Regards,

Hi SertTurk,
Its not clear from your post as to which state your/spouse's application is in. There are three phases
#1 Labor certification ( state and Federal )
#2 I-140
#3 I485 ( adjustment of status )
In order to get GC card, you need to complete all 3 phase. The VISA number applies to third/last state ( I485) only. If employee quits job during any of 3 phase, there is a very good chance he/she may not get GC through this employer. The process itself doesn't get terminated, as GC is for future job, but there is every chance the employer would either use the approved labor for another employee or not answer any rfe/query. If phase I and phase II is complete and you have filed for phase 3 and 6 months have passed, you have option to invoke AC21 and join another employer on same/similar position.
Please talk to an attorney before making any decision.

I have submitted 3 affidavits and non-availability certificate, but NSC sent RFE asking for oldest evidence of birth
a. medical records with child and both parents name
b. hospital records with child and both parents name
c. census records with child and both parents name
d. school records with child and both parents name
e. religious records with child and both parents name for naming ceremony.
I do not have any of them, at the most the school record is 10th grade with only fathers name.
Any ideas?,. Lawyer says its OK, send whatever is available and write an explanation why any of the above can't be obtained.

rajarao - I have this suggestion. My employers did something similar for my LC audit, which is different from I 485. But, the point is to look for an equivalent substitute.
Do you have any sustitutes for the above ? Such as LIC policies with beneficiaries, ration card, voters registration, driver's license anything ? If you do, then call USCIS and explain what you are sending and the significance of these documents and find out if acceptable.
It looks like they are looking for an authentic document showing son's and parent's names.
Gurus, what do you all think ?

Yes, it is called Consular Processing. You can apply using I140; Only Caveat being, visa number should be available (Priority date should be current) when attending the consular interview and the visa is employment/family based immigrant visa (unofficially green card) - not non-immigrant visas like H1/B1/L1.

Your exp. MUST be before you joined the petitioning company.
Lawyer seems to care only about getting fees.
I spoke with my lawyer again and he said that we are fine using the experience on my current job. The company that is petitioning my application is where I got most of the experience mentioned in my labor. What do you recommend I do at this point ?
I will try and talk to another lawyer and get their views on this issue. Can I retain my priority date and file under perm at this stage. I am so stressed, I waited four years for my labor and it is about to go to hell. :mad:

Dear Viewers
Could anyone please advice me on how to claim the unpaid salary from the previous employers.
I was working for a company based in Michigan run by an Indian. This person did not pay me my last month salary. He does not pick up his phone or respond to my email. I have all the proof that my client has paid him the money for which I worked but he continue to ignore my request. This guy owes me around 5000 dollars.
Any piece of advice would be of great help.

Going back home is the only backup streategy. Probably everybody who is not contributing to IV, is depending on this backup plan.
People,
I dont want to sound pessimistic but do we think its necessary that we have to have some backup plan if the CIR bill gets into the mess it got into last year because of amnesty given to illlegal.
The WORST SUFFERERS will be LEGAL IMMIGRANTS who are at the mercy of this illegal immigrants bill.Do you people think that we need to discuss atleast (the IV core group) the back up strategy if the CIR gets into grid lock as it happened last year.
I think its worth a discussion.People any ideas.?

thanks for the replies again...
Guess if mailing out of the country is an option I should ask my friend to do it, guess FEDEX or UPS is quite reliable.
So If I am lucky and my case gets picked/approved while in India then I can get the card mailed there...
but in any case, I have asked my company's lawyer also, will post here once I hear back from him...
Now begins another waiting game ...

I am a vocalist based in the US for the last 13 years. I have performed around the world at World music festivals, television shows, radios, various clubs, private events, for stars like P... S.... and D.... B.... and for organizations such as UN, UNESCO, UNDP, NDI, Schomburg Center, etc.I have always been legal and on several P1/O1 artist visas), I have applied on December 2006 for a EB1-EA green card
On June 10th 2007 I have received a RFE from the Nebraska Service Center, and I had to submit additional stuff proving I am really a singer with an international carreer. (I won an award by the way)before August 15th 2007. On August 3rd 2007 I went myself to the FedEx office and sent a priority 8.0lbs package to the Nebraska Service Center. It was delivered on August 6th signed by Mr. Brad B... at the Nebraska Center.
When I called they said my case was pending, same thing on the USCIS website where I create a portfolio. It is until April 2009 that thanks to congressional and senatorial help that we found out that my I-140 and I-485 had been denied, closed archived since end of August 2007! They said that my response to the RFE was received by them in October!
We argued that I never received the denial notice, neither my attorney received. My congressional liaison faxed them the ax receipt, then the congressional liaison there said: "O my God!" We were hoping that at this stage they would simply reopen the case and look at my 8 pounder RFE response! Nebraska Service Center decided that i will have to file an appeal.
In April 2008 I filled and appeal with Administrative Appeals Office in DC in 2008 (more money into thei pockets) to demonstrate that both my I-140 and I-485 were denied in error, (they had lost my application) the case was returned to Nebraska for them to reconsider.
The AAO decision granted me all that was in their power to give.
1. The appeal was rejected because it was untimely filed -- By statute (law) they cannot consider an untimely appeal regardless of circumstances however.
2. They state that if "an utimely appeal meets the requirements of a motion to reopen or a motion to reconsider, the appeal "MUST" be treated as a motion and a decision "MUST" be made on the merits of the case. -- This is exactly what I asked for.
3. They state that a motion to reconsider must establish that the decision was incorrect based on the evidence of record at the time of the initial decision. Again this is exactly what I claimed.
4. They catagoricaly state in paragraph 2 on page 3 -- Here, the untimely appeal "MEETS" the requirements of a motion to reopen and reconsider. They also positively state that you "SUCCESSFULLY" argue that the October 10, 2007 decision was "FLAWED" and they point to 2 specific reasons -- that yur attorney of record was not properly notified and that your response to the RFE was not considered.
5. In paragraph 5 on page 3 they conclude that the October 10, 2007 decision was "CLEARLY IN ERROR" and that the decision "DID NOT COMPLY WITH THE REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS".
6. Finally, in the last pragraph on page 3 and the 1st paragraph of page 4 they state "therefore, the director "MUST" consider the untimely appeal as a motion to reopen and reconsider and render a "NEW" decision acccordingly"
7. They also state that the "NEW" decision "MUST" thoroughly address all of the evidence submitted in your response to the RFE.
So the AAO�s office sent back my file to the Nebraska Service Center.
Then the I-140 was reopened and I finally approved May 20th 2009. At that time the rest should be like �a letter in the mail�. That is when I demanded that my I-485 be reopened as well.
They responded to my congressional liaison telling him that they will reopen the I-485 and tat the green cards were being prepared and would be sent to us in less then 60 days. Stating: This has been going on for too long�
That is when the �saga� took another turn. On August 14th 09 I received another RFE on the I-485! I was told by one lawyer that it was not so bad (they just needed to update my records since 2006 is the date of my first GC filling), But this RFE did not make sense because once the I-140 is approved they should not ask me to supply any documents work related. They wanted me to prove that I will continue to work in my field, what I have been doing for the last 2 years since they have denied my case and what will be my upcoming work offers.
Remember that in May 2009 they have said that the green cards would be sent�
We responded again with a 5 pounder file! We mailed it September 1rst 2009. I provided them with the same documents I sent in the 8 pounder they have lost in 2006, plus everything I have done since. Including all the performances with P. S., D. B. and letters from future contractors such as The United Nations, Schomburg, my booking agents letters, etc...)
October 19th 2009 we received an email from USCIS saying that a decision has been taken and that my husband�s I-485 has been denied!
Another ridiculous thing.
1-I am the petitioner, not my husband.
2-They should adjudicate my case first, not my husband�s!
3-my case is still pending no decision made on it�
At this time, we are awaiting the full denial explanation letter, to see what is the reason for their decision. Hoping that they just made another mistake for example dissociated my husband I-485 from mine the petitioner.
I am currently (Thank God) on an 01-visa valid until 2011, my husband has a -O3-visa
Because of this terrible saga, we have endured a tremendous stress, and anxiety. We have lost a lot of money. Between the lawyers fees, the various application fees plus the appeal we have spent more than $20,000. I have decided not to file another appeal because this is more money into their pockets. I am ready to sue the USICS with a writ of mandamus and more if they do not fix the multiple mistakes they have made.
Please somebody in this forum answers me. What should I do? Please help!
Thank you.
