I asked my lawyer same question... and she said you can port from EB3 to EB2 using same labor but employer has to withdraw approved I-140 first and this is really dicey.
Best option is to file new PERM + new I-140 and then port the PD
if you think you can file I-485 with 2 I-140s and USCIS would let you use PD from one and Category from other. THOUGH LEGAL BUT FORGET IT.
DO NOT DO THIS. I TRIED IT AND GOT SCREWED. USCIS DO NOT DO CROSS REFERENCE OF I-140 THOUGH THEY ARE SUPPOSE TO.

*) Have an emergency cash fund that would last atleast 6 months without changing your lifestyle. If you lose job, a bit frugal living could stretch that 6month fund to 9 or 10 months. (this could be cash; or assets that would not lose their value and could be cashed at a short notice.)
Do not leave this entire fund in a checking/savings account; nor put it under your mattress.
Have some cash at hand ($1K or $2K); - this is to avoid ATM issues, run on the bank etc.
Put some of it in a 3 month CD;
Put some of it as precious metals (gold etc) - this will protect you against the dollar losing its value, yet the metal is easily saleable.
Put some of it in a money market account that yields a little better than the savings account, yet immediate cash availability.
Distribute your savings between atleast a couple of banks. (If a bank goes under, I do not know how long it takes to get access to your cash which is FDIC insured upto $100K (250K under the bailout plan)).
*) Credit is really tight right now. So... if you have any good offers of pre-approved credit, take it. Keep it aside.
*) Do not worry about your home losing its value. Enjoy the house; hopefully it will appreaciate back to your purchase price in a couple of years.
*) Pay the minimum home payments.
*) Atleast put enough in your 401K to get the employer match. That is free money you do not want to forego. Most likely, you will still be ahead if you have to cash out your 401K. (i.e. penalty + tax of an early withdrawal would most likely be less than the employer matched funds)
*) Enjoy time with family. Keep an eye for opportunities. Keep updating your skillset.

Ideally I support removing the country quota and allow ppl based on skill and education. Speed up applications filed in all categories. When education is being considered. there should be proper checks in place such as folks getting degrees from accredited univ not online univ degrees etc.
Everyone had got their GC's based on the existing choices let it be in eb1, eb2 & eb3 etc. If ppl see that US master's has edge over non US masters then ppl will strive to get that degree.

From VB
"Third: Skilled Workers, Professionals, and Other Workers: 28.6% of the worldwide level, plus any numbers not required by first and second preferences, not more than 10,000 of which to "Other Workers". "
First, your scenario is overly optimistic . Even then EB3 can use a max of 10,000 of such visas and pass on the rest to the other workers category.
Which basically means Eb3s with PDs> 2004 will get screwed even in a very optimistic scenario.
Worse is Eb2s do not have such a cap . So not a drop trickles down till Eb2 is completely satiated.
Assume HR5882 gets signed by president and visas are distributed according to current laws .....Eb3 will get some benefit but not much. Infact everyone other than Eb3 will get maximum benefit including famili-based, other workers etc.
Moral of the story - Eb3s with PD > 04 ....port to Eb2 ...if you can...now
I think what this is saying is that "other workers" can only use 10,000 of the spillover, and the rest will be for general EB3. Not the other way around as you have interpreted.
However, I am not disputing the rest of your post. If the job is there and you can prove EB2 qualification, go for porting.

Finally I gave a thought to all this GC business and I am planning to start my Canadian PR too, here are my questions :
1. Does anybody know of any good immigration cunsulting company for Canadian PR processing ?
2. How much would be the total cost to get it done throught the consulting services ?
3. Are there any hidden costs which these companies tell you at the end and try to rip you ?
Thanks
1) Best do your own job. The agents/consulting companies most dont do a
good job.
http://britishexpats.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=33
Thats the newsgroup of can immigration.
You need IELTS score 7 in each section. It takes about 1.5 years if you apply from US.
"3. Are there any hidden costs which these companies tell you at the end and try to rip you ?"
Companies will always say u qualify to get you on board (for the money they get)
well companies will put the burden on u to get 7 in each section.
So my advice is u first get 7 in each section. Then only u will know if u
clear passmark. Note: 7 in each section is not a walk in the park. U need
practice(stategy).
For details see Canada immigration section in britishexpats.com
Even then if u want some help (because u dont have time etc)
contact andrew miller or jim humphries (who post in the newsgroups
often) They do have knowledge of the rules etc which u yourself can know
by reading on the newsgroup.
Cost are (if u do yourself) for one adult person ( of course family members dont need ielts test) Note: child has lesser fees
550 Can $ + 475 Can $ (if u get through) + IELTS fee (120Aust Dollars approx) + medical testing (depends on where u do india or us)
+ transcript fees + mailing feee + other smal fees.

Do they have a signature authorization from you? If not , they can not send a G-28 that is not signed by YOU !
even my employer didnt allow us to file saying, if employee files, FBI will get mad thinking it has toxics in it :D :D :D
trust me thats what they told me..dunno what he thinks..:) :)
but the point is I sent my docs to my employer and I didnt include any G-28 in it..which means we signed as we prepared all docs..
Now can they attach G-28 and introduce themselves as representatives and swallow all receipts???

Regardless of what your employer is doing on your behalf, you should be proactive and take appointments with law makers. You should be prepared to show that you didn't do anything wrong and now you are going through personal hardships because of this delay. Since you are willing to provide all the paper works to USCIS they should have no reason to delay adjudication. You should emphasize the fact the your application is subjected to undue delay for no fault of yours.
According to my employer, he is going to the Senators office tomorrow to talk to them regarding my case. Got an appointment some time this week to see them on Friday. I dont know how far this is true. They already wrote a letter to them 2 weeks back. This is what my employer says. But I dont know whether he actually contacted them or not. He said he will give me further info on monday. I have to wait and see what he comes up with ( truth or some other new story) on Monday. Then I might decide to move on to a diff employer if nothing works out.

guys,
you need to understand why we were in DC. you also need to think about what message we were sending. each person's philosophy about national anthems is not at issue here. this is a pointless discussion. frankly i am tired of people (i am one) that do not live in their countries but lose no opportunity to retreat in jingoistic nationalism. want want want...but no give?
if no one has serious objection, i will close this thread shortly. the above comments are not for any specific person/poster. just a general view.

2000-2002 was worst. Who didnt do job search during that time have no idea how it felt like.
I just came out of school then and it felt like sky is falling on me. Becoming desparate to survive, i went to work in a gas station. The lady owner didnt pay me after i worked for a week saying i am not concentrating enough. Then out of no where i found a technology job that paid 17$ per hour to keep me going and they did my H1 a year later in 2002. It just made me more strong i guess. But, it is a hell of an experience. Most of my freinds went for second masters or PHD to Keep the status.

Thanks, But how would I know the case number? Because it was filed by my company and I dont have any clue.
Hmmm that makes it a little difficult. All you have to go by is the employer name then. Hopefully not too many people applied at the same time as you with the same employer. In my case, My company had provided me the case number to track the case soon after applying (before approval) but in any case, mine was the only LC they had applied for (they are a small medical device research company), so I did not have trouble.
Also do you think there is any value in at least getting total number of LCs certified, by date and then basing our assumptions by proportioning how much each category is retrogressed? If we can actually get the real number and then making certain assumptions might still be more realistic than now when we dont know anything about how many LCs are in the queue. We might as well assume that those whose prority date is on or earlier than the certified date are approved (even if they are not) because they should be getting approved in a few months time. Especially EB3-I as I dont see rampant jumps in the priority date, you know what I mean?
That is certainly doable. I am not a programmer per se myself, but have diddled enough in databases to try and take a crack at it. I will see if I can find the time to do this.

Laid off 6weeks back. Attended 4 interviews. Outof luck.
I used to get many calls from desi consultants. But not now. I do not know whether it is because of economy or my EAD status.
Here are my excuses to not to get job.
1.New Father (I was little confused about how every thing goes. Thank god no set backs here)
2.Functions(I was occupied to celebrate his 21st day).
3.Taking care of new born( He needs to be feed once in every two hours. Mother got tired of this.)
4.Holiday season.
5.Economy.
6.I am good at supporting my situation :) .
Hopefully I will land some where by Jan Mid.
Sargon,
you are incorrect ..here and there ..there are people who have been laid off. maybe you are lucky that you are not hearing it or maybe out of the loop.
in the last 2 weeks itself, I have heard layoffs for 15 people ..so it is happening maybe slowly but surely. IT are one of the big cost savers ..most of the time, IT job is first on the block because of instant cost savings ..actually there is a different trend too (too small to notice now) ...highly paid people are being laid off and those who agree for lower salary with similar skills are being hired.
