Prince charming - I invoked AC21 sometime back after 180 days of filing 485 and moved to a new job on EAD.
My ex employer revoked 140. At this point of time I did a lot of research and found out the following things
(1) AC21 letter never reaches your file - there is no system in place for AC21 letter. G 28 gets into the system because there is a process in place for G 28
AC21 is a law that allows you to change jobs but there is no system in place.
(2) AC21 letter must be provided upon request - different officers want differtent information so they generally issue a NOID and ask you to submit evidence in 30 days. USCIS in some cases sends out straight denials. The denial letter generally has information to file MTR within 30 days if the case needs to be reopened due to USCIS error.
In August when my case was being processed, they sent me a NOID but sent my wife Fp notice - I called customer service and was advised that she can go for FP as usual but I have to respond to NOID before they move forward with my case and I promptly responded with AC21 and my case status changed to "Case reopened, response received" and there were soft LUDs hitting my 485.
Keep all documentation ready and be proactive, you can hire a good lawyer from MTR, remember that when you file for MTR, you cannot work - so before you inform your employer, get a letter from them and then inform them - in case employers will be reluctant to give any documentation if they know you cannot work for sometime. If you are on h1b you dont have to worry.
MTR approvals can take 3 to 5 weeks or more too.
if not on h1b you start accruing unlawful status and usually lawyers suggest that you stay till less than 180 days when your MTR is filed - it never takes 180 days for a decision on MTR so dont worry about unlawful status.
These are hidden risks in AC21 but good news is that AC21 cases have always been successful.
You may have to go through this period of uncertainity.
Good luck.

It's a valid point from ur prospective, but let me give u the example if the shoe was on the other foot..
I'm sure this is a simplistic generalization, but urs is too
* In 2001, 20 people graduate in retrogressed country and equally qualified 20 graduate in non retrogressed.. both aspire to land a US opportunity
Thank you. You seem like a rational person who is balanced in arguments. I can give you real life examples too. Let me start with that. In 2005 I and my friend from a non-retrogressed country graduated with a masters, same degree same specialization.
* In a few weeks, all the 20 in the retrogressed country find opportunities among dozens of giant offshoring firms that quickly send them on H1 or L1 projects, within months or may be a year they are settled in the US and at most in 2003 their greencard process is up and running
Now THAT is over-generalization. You think all of us Indians and Chinese get jobs as soon as we graduate in giant offshoring cos? My friend you're stereotyping. It is wrong to assume that we get our jobs because of our nationality and not our skills.
Anyway, continuing with my example. My friend and I both found jobs after a few months of struggle in small boutique consulting companies (run by Americans), mind you no offshoring. In fact my friend's sponsor is Indian, my sponsor is American!
* The 20 equally qualified non-retrogressed however linger in their homeland for years and duke it out till the brightest 3 manage to find a rare opportunity that only comes every several years.. those 3 finally come to the US in 2005 and may be start their gc in 2006
Very subjective. My own example, none of my fellow-graduates were in the plight.
* Turns out (or actually it was known all along to people before they chose to came) that the US only gives 5 greencards per year and because they know qualified people exist in all countries and they don't want few countries to swallow the whole quota alone, they give 2/5 to non retrogressed and 3/5 to retrogressed.. only then do some people remember to cry not fair, well it wasn't fair to start with!
I agree a universal 7% limit for any coutry regardless of its population and number of college graduates is stupid.. the percentages need to be adjusted. But to tell me that the 3 unretrogressed have to stand at the end of the line behind the equally qualified 20 retrogressed who came here faster (and chose to come here knowing their homeland is retrogressed) that is really fair.. yeah right!
Yup. Standing your turn in line is fair. And that's what needs to change. EB visas are about skills and not nationality.
You need to quit stereotyping and being unfair to us by saying we get jobs because of our nationalities. Brother, you don't get degrees or jobs because you're Indian or Chinese, but because you add value.

There are around 400 immigration litigation lawyers. If 10 members can volunteer and send this template it can be done. I am in between projects and I cannot devote any more time for this. If anybody takes control of this thread and contacting the lawyers I would be most happiest person. Pls don't tell me that there are no leaders in this group of 25,000 people who can do this miniscule task of contacting 400 lawyers and co-ordinating with them.

TEMPLATE LETTER
Sir/Madam,
We are a legal immigration association with more than 25,000 members in different visa statuses like H1-B etc. There is a per country quota which prevents any country from getting more than 9800 visas.
Visa Bulletin for February 2010 (http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4611.html)
This effects permanent residency (both familty based and employment based)applicants from India, China, Mexico and Philippies only. For example an Indian engineer with a masters degree has to wait 7-8 years for his permanent residency while an engineer with a masters degree from Mauritius would get his green card immediately.
We would like to challenge this racist federal immigration law. We would greatly appreciate if your organisation can help us from doing so.
These are some of the facts from the basic legal research that I have done.

Guys:
Money is not the issue here....if needed I could contribute too....
However, if we take all these letters to the press..and have them run the show for us....also by keeping the confidentiality of the individual....Guys one letter from the guy who was fired from Microsoft made news all across cnn, yahoo and everywhere.....Let the press of US do the job for us....they will make USCIS accountanble. I lilke the idea about taking to the President or Sec of State....actually, if we take to the local Senator...that will be good enough....all these guys are always looking for spice reports like this to make things happen...Hopefully this will bring more transparency from USCIS and they will be forced to report status to the Govt, by which we will also see what we need to see.....

Somehow California residents seem to benefit more from a GC than those who reside elsewhere? Keep those coming... I love that attitude and am equally surprised and amused by it!

One reason for the poor performance from DC area folks is that a GC does not open many avenues for folks in DC area. You could change from a 70K job to 90K job, may be. In Silicon Valley there are many more opportunities. You are talking about a change from 80K to may be starting a million $$ company.

Thank you all very much. Truly appreciate for providing all the necessary web links. Definitely I'd take the extra effort to complain to the Gov. of India and also start knocking on the doors.
Thanks to you all once again.
By the way, I was referring to Embassy of India, Washington DC.
When did you send your application.
I am in the same boat waiting for their call. :D

I am already in the porting phase. My EB2 labor is in process. I just hate to see those still in EB3 hoping their day will come. They need to port their applications right away, or those with recent filings using fake experience will be ahead of them coz EB2 gets processed first with all the spill over.
And I would rather help them than someone like you who would not even disclose your info. You are a clear example of someone trying to walk the walk of the illegal aliens.
And what makes you think it is silly socialist? Unless you are one of the new graduates with a bachelor's degree with 5 years of experience on your resume.
My bad.. I misread your post. Your words sounded as if you were complaining about ethical reasons and not porting even if you were eligible to do so. It looks like you are the right thing already by porting.

If anybody has experience here please answer the bellow Qs:
01. If I-140 is revoked by the previous employer after invoking AC12, does the status of I-140 changes? Any LUDs?
02. How long does it take to revoke an I-140 after the employer sends the withdrawal request?
usually you get an LUD on 140 and 485 at same time. When does it happen? Depends, for some people it happens after a few weeks for some, few months.
In my case it happened on Aug 5th whereas my ex employer informed me he is requesting revoke on July first week. Apparantly - the same time my 485 also seemed to be being processed because they sent FP notice to my wife and NOID to me, we are JJuly filers and never got FP notices. When I called customer service, they advised that wife can go for FP and I have to respond to NOID and advised me to respond ASAP to continue with the case. My response reached on Aug 25th and I saw soft LUDs hitting my case continuously for 3 days - guess it is with an officer, but never got my FP notice though my wife completed it.

I think they misplaced AC-21 application and also they missed NOID step. This is basically two mishaps.
Good luck.
Exactly the point that leads me to believe this:
ARE THEY SENDING EVERYTHING TO THE OLD LAWYER???
If they never updated the lawyer info....(AC21 papers being lost is not unusual at all, it happens commonly, as there is no set form for it, mail room does not know what to do with it and so it gets misplaced). However, even if they did not have AC21 info, they would have sent an RFE or at least NOID. All these could be LOST if they went to OLD attorney.
So Infopass is a good idea. To at least get this info and also to get the actual denial notice which may have to to the old attorney as well (to see on what grounds they denied it so you can file MTR accordingly).
Of course, a good attorney is a must.
All in all, I think, it should be ok at the end of the day (just a painful waiting period full of uncertainty) unless they revoked it based on some misrepresentation.
Good Luck.
