Anybody has experience with ILTC (New York) ?
iltc.com -Heard about this Desi law firm, they were handling my friend's GC filing , according to him they were not aware of latest filing updates & sent some I-485s to Vermont & California (based on I-140 approval) in May/June including his 485 & all those guys are screwed up now as dates are not current for them now.
It also appears they didn't send all the initial evidence documents that were mentioned in I-485 form.
-- Does not sound like a firm i would trust

Now a days any junior, if they ask me about GC process, I ask them what is the law firm of the company and find out how company handles GCs. Like, do they file at the last moment? do they get into a holding pattern and delay everything etc? One of the questions I directly ask people who seek my advice is , is the company's law firm fragomen? If they say yes, I ask them to talk to their manager and stay away from fragomen and change their jobs if its a slow process.

Let us not also forget that current estimates are that there are 1.1 million applications pending at all stages of the green card process. Notwithstanding the new additions each year.
Not looking quite so quick still, I remain unconvinced that things will speed up.
Is this an estimate for EB or for all green card applications? Because I absolutely do not believe this is the number. There is just no about H1Bs issued to produce this number.

I disagree. I would expect a person to convey that they are not officially open despite the doors being open. I agree its not nice on customers part to enter before the office is officially open, but that does not mean the officer just threatens a countryman.
We should learn to respect our countrymen/women first. If I were to try to enter a business which is closed but doors are open, I can tell that someone would tell me that same verbally!
You are correct - the Consulate official should have been firm, but polite. However, this does not excuse the person who tried to enter the Consulate before it officially opened. This is not your run-of-the-mill business establishment, but a government office / establishment with significant security concerns. Why don't you go to a federal building or a courthouse, or say, to the airport, and walk through a security checkpoint without listening to the instructions of the officers nearby, and see what happens. Maybe other people have tried this before, and the Consul official lost his cool on the day your were present. Again, this does not excuse his/her behaviour, but I wouldn't damn him/her for this.
In addition, at these government offices, the officials have to deal with people who demand 100% positive attitude while offering little in return. Read some of the responses on this thread: would you like to attend to their concerns on a daily basis?

Looks like the Congressman's (Rep. Lamar Smith) office is getting bogged down by the calls.
I walked around my office and asked every colleague I met to make the call. The last 5 people who called, the person answering the phone rudely asked them to call the local Congressman's office instead of the Representative's office. He did not take any information nor did it look like he was making a note of the call.
Any pointers, information as to what may be happening?

logiclife,
you are a great leader. Just concentrate on different ways to succeed. you have just found a way that does not work. My suggestion for you is plan smaller meeting call 5 members in a group and meet at a location explain them and give them the handouts and tell them to meet 5 more people and give you the report. I think this may work.

Is it really that bad in canada? I think if you are looking for jobs (no.s & salary) comparable to US that won't happen. But I think the general quailty of life in canada is pretty comparable to US.
Same school system/corporate env/law enforcement/etc ..
I don't think any place will compare to living in US as far as # of available jobs/salary is concerned. You may find more jobs in India but the general quality of life in India is still sub-par. If it were really at par with west, nobody would be trying to immigrate here.
I am sorry to tell you that by going to Canada, in the end you may be better off going back home. I lived there as a PR and I have many Canadian citizens that are tired of the lame system back in the Socialist Canada.
As a general note, I think if you have already been in US 8-9 years you have already made enough investment and sacrifice. Its worth waiting for some more time. But set your own timeframe, don't wait endlessly. Trust me this can go on, this might be a well thought poicy decision to slow down processing at BEC's and introduce retrogression. This will trigger a lot of ppl like us to leave and they can get the work done cheaper (off course, there is always more ppl ready to fill my shoes).

Thank you all very much for answering my question , I feel much better now.
Just a quick follow up.
I am assuming she can continue to work on her OPT till we get our EAD cards or her H1?
Thanks for your response.
Yes, certainly your wife can apply for I-485, that has nothing to do with your whether your wife is on F-1 or H-1.
Her H,F etc. status continues independently of the Adjustement of Status petition. (Yes she can file even while in F-1 as she is not the primary beneficiary but your dependent for I-485)
Infact as soon as your wife get's her I-485 receipt, she is legally in status even if she loses her F, H etc. status.
Moreover I can say all this since I know someone who is an exact similar situation.

If you liked the Aussie immigration so much, how come you are back in the US and in the GC nightmare?
I'm assuming you are in the US now, and caught in this whole GC nightmare. If not, please ignore my mesg.
The US Immigration Law is a nightmare.
Couple of years ago, I migrated to Australia.
blah, blah
Here the US Government cries about anti-discrimination, human rights etc, but those are only eye-wash. They should take lessons from the Australians.

Thank you all for the quick and helpful replies.
My current employer has assured me that they will not revoke my LC or I-140. It is a huge company and I think it will stick to its word. It will not have any use for the LC, I-140 anyway as the whole group was laid off and the product moved to India.
So, it seems that if I transfer to company B they will be able to file for an H1 extension beyond 6 years based on I-140 approved with company A. I can then start my GC process with B again while keeping my old priority date.
Once again, all your replies were immensely helpful.
Thanks
Good Luck..Hope to see you often in immigration voice and spread the word about immigration voice.

Yes there is and it is called visa portability. :)
Ok, Here's the law says about so called "transfer"
D. AC21 105 -- Visa portability
The AC21 105 provides that a nonimmigrant who was previously issued an H-lB visa or provided H-1B nonimmigrant status may begin working for a new H-lB employer as soon as that new employer files a "nonfrivolous" H-lB petition on the nonimmigrant's behalf, if:
(a) the nonimmigrant was lawfully admitted to the United States;
(b) the nonfrivolous petition for new employment was filed before the end of their period of authorized stay; and
(c) the nonimmigrant has not been employed without authorization since his lawful admission to the United States, and before the filing of the nonfrivolous petition.
The status of a dependent of a principal nonimmigrant that is working pursuant to portability benefits is derivative of and linked to the status of the principal nonimmigrant. Therefore, dependents will remain in H-4 status if the principal nonimmigrant is lawfully working pursuant to portability benefits.
Further it says,
The Service expects, therefore, to propose a rule that would afford H-lB beneficiaries, who are no longer working for the initial H-lB employer, some reasonable period of time such as 60 days after leaving the initial H-lB employer to begin working for a new H-lB petitioning employer under the portability provisions. It is important to note that such a proposed rule would not, of course, take effect until it has been published as a final rule, after notice and comment, and any revisions. This prospective statement of policy is provided solely for informational purposes to Service personnel and shall not be utilized as a standard of adjudication in cases involving portability issues, unless and until promulgation of a final rule implementing AC21 105 with such an interpretation. Service personnel will be notified of any changes in the processing of AC21 benefits that may occur upon the effective date of a final rule.
There are few other memo's on this I will try to post the links for reference
Good information but 'transfer' is a widely used word which is technically incorrect. "Transfer" never happens, its always a NEW PETITION when one switches employer or applies (through an employer) for authorization to work for new or 2nd employer. Probably 95% immigrant community including lawyers use the term 'transfer' but it is indeed incorrect.

Paskal,
Thanks for an encouraging eyeopener. Now that people are using their freedom of speech and figments of imagintion vividly, let me use mine too, with a bit of humor.
Unfortunately only EB(I) will be able to associate with this, so apologies in advance to others.
It's 2018. Two indians, namely Ajay and Vijay meet in a grocery store aisle. Ajay inadvertently drops a carton of tea and Vijay try's to help pick it up. They exchange nicieties, shake hand and WHOA... Ajay noticed that Vijay's got a big EB2 tatto on his forearm...Without a moments delay, Ajay folds his sleeve and shows his own EB2 forearm tatto to Vijay. Ajay and Vijay become friends forever....
On the same evening.....Seeta and Geeta are shopping for tamarind in a nearby aisle....for some reason (I cant be more vivid than this) they notice eachothers tatto's; one has EB3 and one has EB2..........CATFIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Morale of the story : Lets stop the drama and get busy helping ourselves..if you want the above scenes not to translate to reality....
Can't we all just enjoy lessons taught to us by Bollywood......If you have hard time coming to terms with the above scenes , please close your eyes and go back 30 yrs into
indian cinema....
its all caused by frustration.....lets work together to rid ourseoves of frustration....
Enjoy ur family...work...activites....life does not end here (waiting for GC)...
NJOY!!!!!!!!!!
