I strongly disagree with previous comment. CA is though certification, it has course work which can be claimed as Masters degree (or advanced degree). I am a CA but even have Master degree got GC under EB2. But I know atleast one more person who is CA but without Master degree got GC under EB2. You need to get education evaluation done such a way that you qualify as done course work equivalent to Master degree. Good Luck
I am courious why you want to qualify for EB2, EB3 has later date than EB2.

Hmmm. Sorry I don't think I can help you out. My focus is mainly web design, and interactivity. I try to stay away from animation if at all possible.

EB3-I, PD Nov 2002, 485 filed 2004. Have EAD and also have approved H1 (year 9 -12), but not stamped on passport. With about 7000 people ahead of me, wait time for my GC is estimated to be 2-3 years.
Have been with employer who filed GC for over 10 years now. There is a job opportunity with another employer, but the job description may be different from what was filed on my original GC. Pay will be similar, but travel will substantially reduced, allowing me to be home more.
What should I be careful of if pursuing this new opportunity? Is there anything I should be asking the new employer for related to the job description filing? Should I be asking them to file H1 transfer or use my EAD? Should I ask them to file EB2-I and port my PD over?
Thanks - just want to make sure I am not jeopardizing my 10 year wait for this opportunity.
1. Make sure that your new company's HR and lawyer are comfortable in supporting the fact that new job is same or similar to old job. It is a grey area and you can be the best judge on it.
2. When you join the new employer ask their attorney to send AC-21 letter to USCIS indicating that you have moved to a same or similar job based on AC-21 porting.
3. Filing for H1 or EAD is a personal choice - as far as GC processing goes I don't see a difference in using either.
4. If they are willing and and the position qualifies you to file EB-2 and port PD- sure go ahead.

My preference was between 3 and 4. But 4 gives me the satisfaction of (or impression of) being at the corner looking into the field. The depth suggested by the rail going off to the right is good, too.
You have some nice clouds to file away for the next time you need to punch up a dull sky.

They clearly said estimated 300K received. This 300K estimate includes all I-485 petitions, do not confuse and speculate incorrect info.
from webster : speculate -to review something idly or casually and often inconclusively
If you read the last line of the paragaraph from NYT posted by OP "As a result, the total tally of applications received in the last six weeks was not available ", this info runs counter to what NYT claimes USCIS received .
Thats why I speculated. Dont gimme the "dont speculate or confuse us" crap.
take everything with a grain of salt.

United States Code
TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > � 1154. Procedure for granting immigrant status
...
(j) Job flexibility for long delayed applicants for adjustment of status to permanent residence
A petition under subsection (a)(1)(D) of this section for an individual whose application for adjustment of status pursuant to section 1255 of this title has been filed and remained unadjudicated for 180 days or more shall remain valid with respect to a new job if the individual changes jobs or employers if the new job is in the same or a similar occupational classification as the job for which the petition was filed.
So the 180 days count starts from the I-485 RD. Not even notice date.

eb3,
with all due respect, I really doubt if this is the bet way to get people to donate. Calling people cheap is not a nice thing and generally not recommended.

interpret nepa's message as people who did not contribute at all but yet expect a lot or whatever from IV can be categorized as cheap...

No one ever has gone to court over a Noncompete agreement issue. No one will.
Most things in Business run on 'the word', and a non-compete is one of them.
...
Completely wrong ! In IT, there have been lot of lawsuits over non-compete agreements... the last and famous one being between Microsoft and Google over a high level Microsoft employee leaving them and joining Google...
I personally know a few people who have paid back in excess of 20k to their ex-employer, because they chose to ignore the non-compete agreement which they signed earlier and joined the end-client directly and got sued...
Pady, in your case the major issue can come from your employer as he is losing out on this deal... He can sue you due to loss of revenue, if you had signed any employment agreement with him, which has a non-compete clause i.e. prohibiting you to work for any competing vendor or client... Review your employment agreement, if you have one.

We did send lot of requests (letters) to Senate/House reps to include recapture and legal kids into dream act. But of no use. I think its simply waste of doing such campaigns.
i am not an expert on how campaigns should be run on Capitol Hill but was meeting some highly successful senior lobbyists today (on a completely different topic) and got a chance to take a close look at how they influence legislative activity and direction.......the big lesson i learnt is that while it is important to present a macro picture to lawmakers (how legal immigration is beneficial to US economy etc etc) - what often makes the difference between an actual favorable vote and a mere sympathetic reaction is whether we can demonstrate the positive impact of the legislative vote on each lawmaker's specific reelection probability and popularity in their district:
1. showing benefit to their particular constituents (e.g your district has XX legal immigrants who constitute XX% of the tax base and if they got GCs - say, 10% would start companies in their communities and create say, 1000 new jobs within 2 years)
2. localized polling results (e.g. XX% of your voters support timely GCs to legal immigrants)

Sorry for your situation. Its tough for you. Guess you need to move out of country since the basis of extension (labor) is also in jeopardy. As someone said, consult a good lawyer quickly.
Good luck.

I called the general customer service number - National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283.
As I mentioned earlier, I did not go through with the options of sending the info. to the US consulate. But I will give it a try tomorrow. I don't know what you can do with that option (PIMS etc), but it is worthwhile to explore.
At what number did you call? Was it Kentucky Consular Center? Do you mean that we can have our information sent to PIMS system or consulate in India? In other words, does that say anything particularly about PIMS?

this should include total applications as derivative also has to file separate I-485. you multiply with 1.7 when you are estimating from approved I-140 to speculate number of people who are waiting online to apply for green cards. bottomline is its no where close to 500,000 to 750,000 as expected by oh-law and other websites
that was expected. 300K * 1.7(average family size according to USCIS) = Approx. 500K

If you get one consolidated paycheck and W-2, you're fine. Otherwise, you will have a tough time explaining multiple paychecks and W-2s to the immigration officer when you go for visa stamping or when entering the country.
