I dont understand.
Why is it limited to 5%?
If you have more then 5% equity in the business you will go the inverstor category EB5. So green card is not approvable in EB1, EB2 or EB3

I thought "we are getting married soon" is implied in my post. Anyways to be more clear ..we are getting married next month i.e. December. I have recently got i 140 cleared . Next month i will have my marriage done and marriage certificate ready. Her country of birth is different that of mine i.e. not India and is current for EB-2. Could you please help me with these doubts.
1.) I have a masters degree from USA and my employer is willing to file under EB-2. my wife is bachelors. Can i apply in EB-2 for both of us and charge it to her quota since it is current for her country.
yes. Since your job profile seems to meet EB2 requirements and you qualify, you can file under EB2. She will be a dependent in this case, her qualifications dont really matter, the petition is based on your job and qualifications.
2.)Would she need to be physically here in USA for filing i 485.
for filing an adjustment of status, which is what you typically want, yes.
3.) one of my acquaintance was telling me that the GC we get using cross chargeability is a conditonal one and not like regular GC. Is this true.?
no. a GC through marriage is conditional, yours is through employment, so its not.
4.)Is cross chargeability always possible or does it depend on the will and mercy of uscis.
always possible, its the law, its not upto the discretion of the USCIS
5.) Is it true that we might have to go through rigorous and sometimes humiliating interview processes to finally get the GC.
no. Yours is an EB(employment based) case, you are confusing this with getting a GC through marriage to a US citizen. In that scenario people face a rigorous and indeed sometimes humiliating experience simply because USCIS does not know whether you are marrying only for the GC. (Mail-order bride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mail-order_bride))
6.)Does she also have to do MS to use cross chargeability and file in EB-2
Nope, her qualifications dont matter. Think if this as a team effort: your qualifications take care of the EB2 part of things and her country of birth defines the priority date

Same here.
I applied on May 18th and my EAD expires on Aug 10th. There were three SLUDs in a row two weeks after I applied, and there is no update after that.
Did you notice any LUDs in your case? Are you still waiting for a decision? Please update.
you are right! i obviously got the application date wrong. I applied on may 17th - not on june 17th as i previously wrote.

I have got the A#. Thanks guys..
is this the number same even to my 140? I guess this number is assigned at the 140 stage.
so if i give a call to USCIS and ask the status by giving the A# will they tell me the 140 status.
With the A# they can pull up your record (which should in theory include all your applications)...
Will they give you your 140 status?
Answer: You will find out when you call 'em up :)

I would think No too.
Dear All..need expert guidance on my situation.
1) Company A. Approved I-140 and LC for more than 6 months in 2006
2) Took a Job with Company B. Concurrent filling of New I-140 , 485, EAD, AP (In July 2007), EAD and AP approved > 180 days. But still waiting for I-140..looks like it going to take some time.
3) Want to change to company �C�in similar area. Can I use AC21? Given that I have approved I-140 from company A, 485 from company B and want to move to company C ?
I assume answer is No but thought I will get some expert guidance.
Thanks for your help

Hey Fellow IVers who had filed application at NSC and it was transferred to CSC and back to NSC pls. take the poll and keep updating your statistics!
As this poll is specifically for the cases transferred from NSC -- CSC --- NSC, can you add more options, like the receipt notices generated between Aug 25 to Sept 10, Sept 11 to Sept 25 and Sept 25 to current.
There would be lot of people in these three categories.
Very much intrested in knowing status of all the cases that have transferred from NSC to CSC and back to NSC.

Just noticed that my lawyer has attached marriage certificate of my co-worker in the dependendent's petition. I am waiting for the receipt.
What are the impacts of this mistake? To compound the issue, my wife is flying out next week for a month to India.
Gurus any answers on this is deeply appreciated.
Just on the lighter note I wonder if even USCIS ignores that mistake and give you and your co-worker's wife a GC.

Yes. This is an old case.
Isn't assigning a later PD to a earlier PD substitute labor a mistake made by the USCIS? If I put in a request to USCIS to correct this error, will it help?
Thanks!!
it won't correct, as this practice has been long stopped. You may be in trouble for sure. I know you must have discussed this with your lawyer and now asking this on forum. If not, consult one. But if I would have been in your place, I will not go back to CIS on this. There may be some more wait but you must have EAD/AP, so use it and wait for your turn. Do not complicate your case. Its up to you & your lawyer. Best Luck!

Can you please provide links. And also provide the numbers.
Yesterday after a long time I was reading the Labor cert section on immigrationportal.com. I havent felt the need to read that section since my LC was approved in October 2005.
I was amazed at the number of EB3 cases being approved with PD's in 01 and 02 as well as EB2 cases in 02 and 03.
No doubt dates arent moving. More and more ppl are choking the pipeline. We are screwed if numbers arent increased.

i filed for EAD in early April this year. I could check the case status online and see it as "case received and pending". On the last day of April I received my EAD in mail but the status still showed the same.. There was neither soft nor hard LUD. Rather I checked it again today on May 7th and the status is still the same, no soft or hard lud..!
i think there's some disconnect.
