from what we see on other posts, what matters most is
1. company is hiring u as a fulltime employee
2. job desc is same or similar
3. annual salary is >= one specified in approved labor
you can get paid by hr, but just extrapolate that hrly value into annual salary, and state that.

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.

Over the last few years, lots of people get GCs quickly while people who applied earlier do not. There is no real queuing semantics applied.
I am sure the NC process is the same. All luck!!!!

Two little-known types of immigrant visas are the T and the U visas. The T visa is for people innocently involved in human trafficking, and the U visa is for victims of crime. The U visa's basic purpose is to make it easier for police to prosecute those who commit violence.
Both types of visas were discussed in a recent Dallas Morning News (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/052010dnmetuvisa.8c47617.html) article. Here are excerpts from the article, beginning with a discussion of the U visa:
The visas began flowing only 18 months ago and the majority have gone to domestic violence victims, say officials from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
Under the Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act, up to 10,000 such visas are authorized annually. Illegal immigrants may receive such visas if they've suffered "substantial" physical or mental abuse from criminal activity and, among other things, a law enforcement agency certifies they have information on criminal activity. The visa can lead to permanent legal residency status.
The issuing of U visas comes at a tense time in the national immigration debate, amid a polarizing crackdown and potentially broader policing powers against immigrants in Arizona. And it illuminates a prickly point of justice: Should the federal government give illegal immigrants special treatment for a societal good such as fighting violent crime?
The Victims of Trafficking and Violence Protection Act created both the U visa and the T visa. They're near the end of a complex network of visas, A through V.
T visas, for those involved in human trafficking, began flowing in 2002, but the flow of U visas was delayed as regulations on issuance were hammered out. In the last three full fiscal years, only about 250 to 300 T visas have been approved of the maximum annual allotment of 5,000.
In the last fiscal year, ending in September 2009, the federal government authorized 5,825 U visas. In the first five months of this fiscal year, nearly 5,000 such visas were given. There are about 6,600 visa applications pending, and the 10,000 allotment is expected to be reached as early as next month, said Maria Elena Garcia Upson, a spokeswoman for the immigration agency.

I just got my labor approved for Masters degree and 3 years exp.
I have 3 years B.Sc degree and 3 years MCA degree from India and my education eval. shows it as equivalent to MS in computer Science.
In form ETA 750, under section 14, I have following data
College degree required:
Master of Science
Major field of study
Comp Sci/Engg,Info Sys Engg
Experience
3 years
Other fields under section 14 and 15 are blank.
RIR Advertisement has mentioned following
" Must have MS in Computer Science or Engineering, Information Systems Engineering or foreign degree equivalent with 3 years of relevant work experience."
I am little confused about "College degree required:" field. It only says "Master of Science". Should it be "Master of Science Or foreign equivalent"?
Edit/Delete Message
I don't want to scare you, but I think the words "or foreign equivelant" is required unless you have a US degree.
Please speak to your attorney about this.

but we sent out the application package on June 28 (Friday) and the USCIS received our package on July 1st (Based on the Fedex tracking record). There is no way that my employer can refer to the new prevailing wage databse, which is released on July 1st.
Save the FedEx receipts etc, they might be useful in case of RFE.

Currently, USCIS online case status site is reportedly experiencing some errors. The consumers are experiencing frustration with the incorrect information or outdated information when they check their case status. Apparently, the USCIS has been working on it to fix the problem. Pending that, the customers should keep patience.

First of all, Welcome to Immigration Voice!!
It is possible to get 3 year extension on while you transfer h1b to new company and also obtain the first priority date. First priority date can be obtained while applying for another 140 with new company by attaching the copy of 140 document. But some people say that just mentioning the LIN # is sufficient enough.
What your attorney is saying is true, 140 is owned by the company. But you may request your HR about the value of 140 in extending your stay in US and also in pursuing the green card. That is what I did while changing the job and then our HR did not cancel the 140.
You may lose the priority date if your HR cancels the 140 but some people say that there is a circulation in USCIS which says that even if the 140 is canceled, the first priority date can be assigned as the green card processing was indeed started at the first priority date, so may be it depends on the officer who is handling your case.
Good Luck!!

Hi, I have a few questions about H-1B and switching to B1/2 status. I was recently laid off, and have an effective termination date of Apr 27. My firm also told me that they typically notify USCIS of this on May 15th. I am currently looking for a new job, but want to also plan in case I don't find one. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read these questions and help me out with them.
1. If I find a new job before May (or May 15th), can I start working the moment the new employer files a petition? Do we have to wait for any notification from USCIS (like a receipt) first? If not, can I work the same date as the postmark date of the filing?
2. In the above case, does my employer still have to file an LCA with DoL? If so, how long does this process take? I guess what I'm trying to wonder is, if I accept an offer and they begin paperwork on Day 1, what day can I actually work?
3. If I do not find a job, when should I file an I-539 to change status to B1/2 (does it matter if B1 or B2?)? I guess what "postmark" date should I do this by? Apr 27? May 15th?
4. After I mail in the change of status, but haven't actually changed yet (I hear this can take 2 months?), and I get a job offer, when can I start working? Do I lose my "instant-work" ability, and have to wait for the H1-B petition to clear? Is this when I want to use Premium Processing and hopefully be ready in 2 weeks? What happens to my pending B1/2 application?
5. If I already received my B1/2 change of status, and now find a job, when can I work? Is this the same as Question 4?
6. I understand that I am no longer subject to the cap, so my employer simply has to file a LCA and a petition for H1-B, in general?
7. In the I-539 form, it asks to mail in my I-94 card (original). Until I get a new one, what status am I in? If I end up leaving the country then, what card do I surrender? It feels weird to not have a I-94 on my passport...
8. The I-539 form seems simple enough to fill out. Any thoughts on whether I need a lawyer for this?
9. Did I forget anything? :confused:
Thanks so much again. I look forward to your helpful replies.

I do not want to renew the advanced payroll, since I do not foresee travel within the next 18 months overseas. Is there a way I can skip the renewal this time around (1-year extension) and renew it the next time? If there is an emergency, I can still go to India and have the Visa-stamped since we have a valid H1/H4 right?
Are there any risks here?

Hi All:
Would appreciate if you could answer to my questions below
1) If I work for a company A ,Can I get my Green card processed by Company B by future employer option
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,
Dollygc
Yes, it is possible to get from Company B.
You need to join company B when you get your GC.
