I saw a petitioner recommend GT law in one of the posts. I think she is a lot luckier than me. I have had very bad experience with GT Law recently. Please see the following facts:
1) After 3 months, I was only informed that my salary is not meeting the prevailing wage requirement; 2) After 6 months, I was told that the attorneys are still struggling with the job description themselves without asking earlier for a conversation with my manager to help them resolve the problem. The issue they are struggling is that the field of my advanced degree is not related to the field I have been working in even if my skills sets fit right in!!! Can you believe it that we are actually advising them how to handle this issue and paying them a lot of money???? 3) During the 6 months, the attorneys have been changed twice and the transition of my case from 1 set of attorneys to another was very poor (I was asked for the same set of documents twice). It seems the process started all over again with each change. With the most recent set (the 3rd) of attorneys, they sent my files to the Maryland State to assess my salary level last week after we were informed about salary issue 3 months ago by the 2nd set of attorneys. It has been really a big mess. It has also shown that different sets of attorneys are definitely not talking. 4) When I check with them once every two - three weeks about progress, they would never give me a clear or meaningful answer even though they responded pretty quickly. They don't even want to tell me what has been the maximum processing time of all the labor certification cases they have handled. Now, after 6 months, my job advertisement has still not been launched yet and I have no idea when it will happen. BTW, GT Law is contracted with my company and I am required to use them for labor certification. Now I'm thinking I will have to change to a different company if I want to get it done quickly and successfully.

Hi,
My H1B 6 years will be finished in February. My I140/485 were filed in August and I will be laid off on December 31. What options do I have now?
- My employer had filed my immigration papers at my current work location. They are willing to relocate me to different location but are not sure on the impact of change in address. Can I relocate with my current 140/485 filed for current address?
- Can my H1 be extended based on approved labor? I can then move to new location with same employer on renewed H1B and start the entire process again?
Thanks

No Red Dogs are allowed only Brown Dogs.
Yes, what I posted was meant to be hard,
ask a EB3 person if he was happy when EB3 was available and Eb2 was not.
Did any one try to justify the reason why EB2 was UNAVAILABLE? No.
Did anyone here feel unhappy that EB2 moved so nicely? No.
Then why are we not seeing a single post from anyone which says we as aspiring immigrants are not being failrly dealt with when EB3 did not move with EB2.
Instead we see posts about why EB3 is not moving and explanation of reasons behind it.
Is there a hidden agenda here, NO. Not from IV, am i trying to prove something like that? I dont think so.

I hope you are right.
Thanks to people with your mentality, nobody reacted - if such awareness was ever able to trigger action - against the 245(i) amnesty and that is one of the reasons why you are stuck. Keep up with your rose mentality if that makes you feel good.
Regards,
The Ombudsman
:D Where have we heard this before.
To any member who has been looking at some of the posts since April/May of this year it will be apparant that there has been an attempt by the ultra conservative, anti-immigration groups to create a divide among legal and so called illegal immigration issues. It was good to see that most members perceived this and stayed away from singing the legal vs illegal immigration tune.
Now comes the lame attempt to play on your fears again. What would happen to you if all these so called "illegals" were to get in line ahead of you? The knee-jerk reaction is so obvious. If you see deeper, you will find that all this is BS and just wenting of frustration by the anti-immigration groups. There is a precedent for this behaviour. After the CIR was passed in Senate in May earlier this year, these same anti-immigration group members posted so many inflamatory posts that created a bad vibe on this forum. Well today is a redo of that. Just count the number of posts and you will know what I mean. ;) I urge all members to look at the new ray of hope provided by the change in the new congress and ignore attempts to dampen your enthusiasm in garb of fair and balanced aka an anti-immigration spin :)

I agree 100 %. But even if the officer wants to know about out I 140, it wud be just a 1 min process for them as they can check if a recipt was generated based on the names.
...
Anyways since there are so many hundreds of people who filed I 140 in the recent days, I believe some alternative from USCIS wud show up in the next few days .......
Agree.. Any idea if Service Centers will entertain queries for receipt number in person? I'm not that far from TX service center in Dallas. Might just drive up there to find out sometime midweek if there is no guidance from USCIS by then!

Just got off the phone. The Lady said she is getting hundreds of these calls. She also said the Rep smith had not made his position public. She asked if I was part of the same group that has been calling. I said yes but I am calling on behalf of all the legal immigrants who would like to see a better streamlined process so that thousands of tax payers in US can breath a sigh.
lets keep the calls coming.

I am sorry you feel like that about IV core. I am not a CORE member so I can't speak for them but if you have spent a basic amount of time following and more importantly taking part in IV initiatives you would not have "decided" that IV is promoting "EB2" agenda simply because there is no such agenda.
I am sure you noticed this but if not, this is a free speech and membership forum and IV is not made up by pappu or paskal but each and every one who tries to make some difference by participating in the action items.
If you think that there needs to be IV initiatives that better suit your needs, you know what...lead it...set up action items....organize like minded folks. IV is setup for that. It is easy to just point fingers and put out statements based on your negative perception, if you really feel so bad about this phantom EB2 agenda, how about doing something constructive through IV.
I am Eb3 Mar 2004 and I am planning to wait until the Oct dates before making any decision.
But there is a deeper problem that I see.
IV had been extremely instrumental in making the immigration issue heard outside our community and taking it to the ears of the people making decisions.
Now, IV, from what I am hearing and am seeing (by openly not supporting the Eb3-I agenda (pappu making comments about what is wrong with the EB3 word petition)
is interested in pushing the Eb2 agenda only.
The core team explanation that Eb2 rollover nos are provided to EB3 and that is why they cannot help it, is baseless.
If everything in the past was to happen as per the process, there would be no IV at all.
Also, in the recent past, EB3 was available when Eb2 was Unavailable, so the rollover argument is wrong.
Now, if IV is definite on not providing support to the EB3 community, it is time to rethink.
I do not have a good feeling about the EB3 to EB2 conversion (it is basically going into unknown territory).

My last and final update to this post. I got my original Green Card (Cards not green color) It was the happiest day, the wait was finally over the air smelled a little better.
My two cents - Have patience explore other means of getting green card if one doesn't work. An attorney once told me there are soo many ways and regulationsto get green card that half of them are not even in law manuals only the old timers know about them. Enjoy life life with green card and with out it is the same.but the time you spend never comes back. If you have problems with your employer just imagine if you didn't have a job. So make the best of your time and enjoy this great land which we call america.
Thanks
Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!! man

I was wondering if IV core had some time to analyze this bill and summarize it for their members like the previous version of this bill. Would appreciate a quick summary of this bill with Pros/Cons in this bill for our community.
Can somebody pls do this? The main thing that I am wondering is that if you cannot place consultants on client site on H1B then what will happen to them? How will big consulting companies(the likes of Wipro, Satyam) survive?
Any ammendment on this?

I agree with what you say. Yes, backlogged victims need some justice at this moment, otherwise there it is morally not good for everyone.
1. Why don't we petition first before thinking of Lawsuit. We from IV should write a letter to USCIS stating the injustice brought to the backlogged victims and how it is mentally affecting them etc. We should ask USCIS to consider these things and come up with a solution for backlogged victims instead of threatening DOS and others with Lawsuit. Since we are at their mercy, there is nothing wrong in keeping them higher up and at the same time getting what we want.
2. If the petition did not work out, then we can think about some suit. Still I don't agree with any suit as it is not going to bring justice. By the time the suit clears, you will have your GC in hand.

I totally agree with you days_go_by. The US immigration law sucks. One the one hand they will keep on syaing that we have shortage of manpower and on the other hand they try to restrict. Every single head counts....even the persons on H4... H4's can also contribute to the economy...rather than a simple HEAD Count in this country.

Something can happen if we have a Democrat Congress which is filibuster-proof, meaning > 60% of total membership must be Democrats, AND a Democrat President, then something good could happen for us. It might not be exactly what we like because "undocumented" will get the same as well, but atleast also get what we want.
Nothing good will happen for us if we have a Republican Congress and Republican President. They will just make life hard for all of us --legal or undocumented alike. If we are having a hard-time getting a Driver's License right now, then expect worse if this combination happens next year plus the continuing recession.
Republican Congress + Republican President + Recession = NIGHTMARE FOR IMMIGRANTS
They will put all the blame on us, which is already happening right now.

Not many goodies this time..thats what all the analysts/experts seem to be predicting.
True, Unless congress enacts a law allowing the usage of unused visa and or increase in available number for LRP, else EB2 with later PD must explore EB1 to get ahead of the EB3's porting to EB2 with old PD :( .. Well, the point is, NO other options except increase in visa / re-use unused visa from past years can help every one here. Everything else, discussed / debated will be a waste of time ...

URGENT HELP
Its a simple case. Its no company A, B, C and D and all applied for H1's or some vendors troubling me...so pls help.
I read all the posts on this thread but I dont think I got an answer I want. Here is my dilemma -
Scenario: I currently work for Company A. I interviewed with Company B and they are ready to file for my H1b transfer but they need me to join within the next 3 weeks. Today is Feb 6th 2008.
Question1) Is there anything like a H1Btransfer or is it a brand new application??
Question2) Does this H1B transfer go through the 65,000 quota system?? Is there a chance my H1B transfer can be rejected because I did not make it in the 65,000?
Question3) When can I start working for Company B?
Question4) Company B said that I should only inform Company A after I get a receipt from USCIS about my H1B transfer. If Company A matches up the salary what Company B is offering me after I inform them and I still havent started working with Company B, can I stay with Company A? If yes, What about the H1B transfer application by Company B?
Thanks in advance for your response.
