What if the I-140 is approved, I-485 pending less than 180 days and change of jobs to happen?
In this case, can the employer still revoke the I-140 though it has been approved already?
if you change your employer within 180 days of 485 RD, the employer can revoke your 140 which will invalidate your 485.
After 180 days you can switch using your H-1 too. The EAD is not necessary.

there is a gross misconception that iv is focusing "only" on 485 filing. and repeating is ad libidum is not helping.
the 485 measure is a short term tactical decision.it was taken after it became clear that nothing else could be added to an appropriation bill currently.remember that the attitude of the majority is to have a comprehensive bill ONLY.
certain members took to angrily denouncing the whole idea leading to a great deal of unpleasantness, of course the fault was on both sides as no tolerance for the opposing opinion was shown. it's sad though that some of these people now bad mouth iv on other forums.
as long as we insist on bickering and being divided, we will never succeed
let's just stop now, if that's all everyone wants to do on a daily basis. we can all stew in our own sweet juices for the next 20 years...WAITING.

Ganguteli,
If you can help our friend who is stressed, thats great. If you cant, this is no time for "you should have come to us earlier" moment. Ridiculing a guy who has just come to this forum is not going to help you get over your GC frustration.
***
Dont stress out buddy. You might have to make tough decisions..like move back to India, Canada...UK immigrants are going through a tough time...... You still have 9 months to either get your employer to apply Labor or find another job that does.......If you cant..its not the end of the world....Enjoy your time here...start applying in India..... For any other questions do come back to this forum again.....Almost everyone is very helpful, non-judgemental & friendly.
You are undergoing what a lot of H1Bs go through.
They do not care about greencard on H1B thinking that it will come whenver the company applies until it is too late. They enjoy the first 3 years of H1B enjoying America and dollars and do not bother about IV or advocacy or contributing money to IV. I have seen such people even telling others it is a waste of time and making fun of IV. After 3 years they renew H1B thinking that they still have 3 more years. But once 6 years are about to expire they worry that they will have to leave US of A and the land of opportunities. It is at that time they try to start greencard process and check out IV. These same people then start contributing to IV and take this effort seriously.
You still have time of 1 year and 9 months and that is good enough to get your labor through. Good luck and hope you find help from people here.

The following write-up appears here courtesy of ChanduV23, one of our members. This has been edited for content and messaging:
Thank you ChanduV23
- On behalf of the Core IV Team
I am a highly-skilled professional who entered this country legally. I�ve been waiting for my US permanent resident visa -also known as "Green Card" for the past several years along with 500,000 other educated, highly skilled employment based (EB) immigrants. Many of us have been waiting for our turn to get Green Cards for 5-10 years while consistently abiding by all the laws of this country. Such long delays are due to tortuous and confusing paper work, backlogs due to various quotas and processing delays at US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) and other allied state and federal agencies.
Several categories of EB immigrant visa (Green Card) numbers have been unavailable (�retrogressed�) since the fall of 2005. Because our immigrant petitions are tied to the sponsoring employer, these delays have led to indentured servitude for several of us. Our professional prospects, job mobility and potential opportunities for entrepreneurship have been compromised.
For the past several decades, the US Department of State (DOS) has been publishing advisories known as visa bulletins once a month to announce the availability of immigrant visa numbers. On June 13, 2007, after a gap of nearly two years, DOS announced that all EB visa numbers would be �current� for the month of July. This meant, irrespective of our �priority date� (date assigned to us for our turn in the line for Green Cards), all of us were made eligible to apply for some interim immigration benefits. This �priority date� refers to the date when our labor certification (documentation verifying no US citizen worker was available for a given job) had been filed.
Please note that 6/13 DOS announcement would not have led to immediate green card for most of us; but at least it would have ensured us interim benefits such as the right to travel and right to work- this was still a welcome change. Especially, for dependent spouses who have been otherwise unable to work, this would have translated into right to travel and work without restriction and thus channel their energies positively. Several dependent spouses are also highly-skilled. This would provide them an opportunity to realize their technical and entrepreneurial expression and add to tax dollars. Additionally, this would have greatly reduced the paperwork burden on our sponsoring US employers.
Tens of thousands of applicants spent thousands of dollars in legal fees, immigration medical exams & vaccinations & getting various supporting documents ready to file our immigrant petitions to USCIS, at times inconveniencing our old parents in our home countries as well. It has been an agonizing two weeks for us. Some of us to had to fly in our spouses from our home countries or have had to cut short business trips. To our shock and dismay, on the morning of July 2nd 2007, USCIS announced that EB visa numbers were not available and all petitions filed in July would be rejected.
For the legal skilled immigrants this has been a rather traumatizing and disheartening experience.
We sincerely seek immediate congressional/ legislative remedial measures which would
(1)Reduce the enormous backlogs of green card petitions of legal skilled immigrants
(2)Ensure and request USCIS not to reject our immigrant visa petitions filed in July and provide us interim benefits of a pending immigrant visa petition. We make this sincere request on this Independence Day with the hope that people who played by the rules will be rewarded.
I was wondering if we can use this template and your press release ( http://www.prlog.org/10022648-no-celebration-for-thousands-of-highly-skilled-future-americans-this-july-4th.pdf) to let our local news media know. Thanks

Thanks for advice. Yes my last M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the USA.
Could you please clarify what "find out NIW holders in your / related engg field"? How can I find out?
Do you believe EB2-NIW is easier than EB1-OR?
Thank you,
John
Your situation is slightly different than many I have come across. If your qualifications, research work, project etc have unique qualities, then you may still have a fighting chance. But you may have to do a lot of homework: find out NIW holders in your / related engg field, ask a few lawyers: do not believe right away if somebody promises they could, try to enroll in as many professional associations as possible, enlarge your skill portfolio etc.
BTW, is any degree of you from US?

I will advice you to try to get H1 rather than get J1. No doubt J1 is easier to get but on long term basis, it is much harder to convert and takes more time and money. I have gone through this.

I have been there. done that. As soon as ported labor applicant using AC21 moves on & finally gets his GC, his labor cannot be ported anymore; even though you filed to use his labor before he obtained his/her GC.
Mind you, I used labor substitute not from a shady consulting company but from a reputed nasdaq listed company & had top lawyers appealing and proving my case. No use.
I think AC21 & labor substitution fundamentally had these issues where they could not co-exist. Since labor substitution was prone to abuse anyway. It was done away with. Good riddance to bad rubbish I say. Just I had to spend 3 years in limbo. What can I say - only solace is that there are others who are worse of than me.
Move on. Theres no point appealing this denial of I140.

You dont have to get NEXUS. It is easier if you do, but you dont Have to.
The wait during regular commute hours in mostly 15 mins. There may be exceptions. However your facts are wrong. NEXUS is not a reqt.
Yes you will need a stable job in Detroit. I am not in IT. I would be transfering to Detroit office of my company but serving same clients that I am serving currently.

Our company is supporting semi conductor firms IT operations with both offshore and onsite. So basically all our work is already at minimum expense, but still our company is asking us to move many more jobs to offshore. They have stopped funding of all new project.
So i think it's pretty tough. But brighter side is in the market there are still some jobs

How about the reverse change of status ? A person currently on H1 visa decides to resign from company & wishes to go on H4 (spouse has H1B extension applied for). What is the time frame in which the H4 has to be filed for .... with respect to resignation .... before resigning or after resigning .... is so within how many days of resigning. How does this person know if he/she is in status as H4 approval might take months .... Will the spouse's H1B extension receipt notice be enough as the approval might take a while.

This is my first contribution of $100 to IV as a new member. I urge my fellow members who have not yet contributed to do so and strengthen the efforts of the IV to get some relief for legal EB immigrants before congress adjourns. I hope IV will keep up their good work and more members will contribute. It could be any amount, please do so. This is our last chance to have something done. Believe me there wont me talk of immigration reform after the November elections until after 2008 elections.

LostInGCProcess,
The only reason I want to still enter on H4 is that my H4 is stamped until 2010, hence why not use it and save money and hassle on AP entry. As you have said that working on EAD immediately invalidates the H4 status. This is OK for me, but at least I have avoided the AP procedure stuff. Plus the primary applicant is on H1 and hence we both can enter on H1 and H4 respectively rather than one entering on H1 and the other on AP. Let me know if this clears your doubt and if so, can you think this would work out. Also, if you can, please respond to my other questions
Thanks,
