If you really think about it, it is a fair business price. Remember, the lawyer gets all his money by billing clients like you. He has to figure in his establishment costs such as rent, employee salaries, insurance, etc. Add to that the unpredictability of future business (e.g., if he gets work only for 10 days of the month, he still has to pay salaries to staff for the whole month), taxes (including soc. security, medicare, etc. that he has to pay for himself and for staff) and the risk of liability (e.g. what if you sue for malpractice?) and you get the high price.
Of course, it is a market economy, and people can always choose a better and cheaper source for the service. But at some point you will hit bottom, below which the business will be a loss maker, and this bottom will still be high for many!
$320 an hr!
His 'RFE response' charges were $450!
go figure...
lotsa people are making money out of the s*ituation we are in!

Hello all,
My I-140 (EB3) is already approved through my present company.
I am about to start the 6th year (final year) of my H1 soon. I want to change my job and apply through EB2 as EB3 has almost stopped moving.
My case is like this:
PD: 2002-Oct India/ROW
Category: EB3
H1 (6 year ends): June 2008
My questions are:
1. First and foremost - can I change my job as I am entering the 6th year of H1?
2. Since it's going to be my 6th year, will I need to reapply for labor as soon as I change my job? Is there any timeframe?
3. Will there be any issue porting the Priority Date - especially since I am planning to apply on EB2 in the next job.
Thanks,
Dan

I suggest that you put things in black and white.
Write to the former employer to let him know that you have been calling him reg the dues. Give him a time frame and let him know that you will consider going to DOL if things are not sorted out.
Pls be polite with your wordings as this may help resolve the issue itself.
Dear Viewers
Could anyone please advice me on how to claim the unpaid salary from the previous employers.
I was working for a company based in Michigan run by an Indian. This person did not pay me my last month salary. He does not pick up his phone or respond to my email. I have all the proof that my client has paid him the money for which I worked but he continue to ignore my request. This guy owes me around 5000 dollars.
Any piece of advice would be of great help.

Does this mean Interim EAD option is not available any more? Was there a press release for this?
Thanks
1. Can we use AC21 provision without EAD card ?
Answer: Sure, you can. In fact, that is the advised approach. Do not fall back on EAD unless absolutely necessary.
2. My H1 expires in Jan 2008. Do I need to have EAD card before that ?
Yes, If you wish to work on EAD then you need to have it by Jan 2008. Unless the interim EAD option is bought back, I doubt if any July filer will have an EAD by January 2008. I would suggest you be prepared to extend your H-1b.
3. Can we apply for EAD later, after you have filed 485 and AP? If so do we need any reciept of 485 application?
Answer: Yes. You can do it yourself, but you will need evidence to show that a 485 has been applied.
:confused:

I am working as a full time emp and not as a consultant. So i think i dont have to worry about client letters.
So according to you, i am eligible for another 3 year extension based on approved I-140 irrespective of whether my I-485 has been filed or not?
What i have been reading in some forum is that, if you have an approved I-140 and if your I-485 has not been filed due to retrogression, then you are eligible for 3 year extension. If you have an approved I-140 and if you have already filed your I-485, then you are eligible only for 1 year extension.
If anyone has been in such a situation, if you know please let me know which one is correct.. or please forward me to any article.
smsthss:
1. You are eligible to get 3 H1B year extension based on an approved I-140. However it is up to the Immigration officer to grant you the appropriate term. The appropriate term will depend on the employer paperwork that can suggest that there is atleast 3 years worth of work available for you to do.
2. Two of my friends got their H1B extensions on the basis of approved 140 (after their 6th year). One of them provided the client letter proving that there is a lot of work for another 3 years but got an extension for 1.5 years only. My other friend submitted client work order showing work for 6 months but that guy got an H1B extension for 3 years.
Your best bet is to provide all the paperwork and request extension for 3 years and leave it up to the IO to make the decision. (Certain things are beyond our control, but the things that are must be handled well)

Have you put a last date for cashing, on your check?? I just want to know how to do it?
Anyway why did you put this Aug 17th as the last day in your check? It looks like you have some extraordinary vision on things....
Thanks for your wisdom and help to the IV community.
Anybody with July 19th receipt date got their Check encashed? How about Receipt Notice? EB-3 India.
I am worried about checks not being cashed yet. After Aug 17th the window is closed.

I was trying to use the Free Conference Call service to ask a question to the lawyer but was informed that the access code 388991 is incorrect. Has it been changed? If so, can someone provide the new code.
Thank you very much for providing this invaluable service to the entire community.

:confused: I got very anxious when my co lawyer told me that I got a query from INS.
I recently transfered my H1 to current employer and started working for him. Even I got receipt number. When I last tracked the number in INS web site it says mail has been sent out asking for more information.
Company lawyer told me to produce all my paystubs ever since I started to work in US.
I am wondering will this cause any issue. Is this a normal procedure ?
Please help me, if any has any kind of information. Please share with me. My Id madhyastha@yahoo.com

Looks like i forgot to mention few of my own contraints...
I do not want to use EAD as i am single and don't want to jeoperdise my spouse visa by loosing my H1b status. So only option for me now is H1b.
My only concern is what if i lose some pay checks and jeoperdise my immigration history. 90% of my frinds who work with consultant are out of job/looking job..etc. All these makes bit pessimistic....!!!!

I-94 validity given by immigration officer over-rides the I-797 I-94 validity
Yes the I-94 given by the Immigration Officer Overrides the I-94 Validity Issued by
USCIS with your I-797. This is Per the "Last Action Rule".
When you Entered US on your Visa, you should have shown the New I-797 Approval and the Officer @ POE would have given you the I-94 Valid until the New I-797, if they dont we have right to request to talk to their Supervisors.
Anyway, its too late now and you have the following 3 Options:
1. You can go any of the Customs And Border Protection deferred Inspection sites
and get it corrected, refer to link below to go the site nearest to you.
Also, it DOES NOT have to the same city where you entered US. You can
go to any site.
http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/deferred_inspection/
2. You can go out of US and while entering back you should make sure you use the
Latest Approval. You can go to Canada by Road and Come back.
3. File for H1B Extension before June 2008 which is the Current I-94 date on your
Passport

One of my ex-colleagues got his GC approved out of turn last year itself. He was EB3 - PD November 2005. They approved it for him, his wife and his two kids! He is a big devotee of Sathya Sai Baba and I think he certainly got his blessings on this one..!

The devil is always in the details!
What is proposed for the 315,000 individuals in backlog centers? What happens to the 271,000+ cases in Retrogression? And, their families? They will all get their Green Cards with their Labor Cert, I guess!
While they are it, why does'nt the AFL-CIO also propose that the 2012 President of the USA HAS to be from amongst those who come from these numbers?
Do not mock us with these unenforceable and fantasy-filled proposals for now. Such red herrings can skew the whole legitimate debate about relief for hard-working, legal employment-based seekers of Permanent residency!
We would be all for it in principle - which EB-Visa seeker would deny a Green Card with the application itself! Something of this nature used to exist for doctors during the late Vietnam War years!
But, it has as much as chance of seeing the light of the day as the rest of AFL-CIO efforts - Democratic control of Congress and a Democratic Presidency! Heck, AFL-CIO could not even get Dick Gephardt thru half the Dem primaries with a decent show!

What will be my options to maintain my immigration status in the following scenario:
AC21 is not filed after joining the new employer (new job since 2 months).
If the previous employer revoked the I-140.
Have the same job/role and responsibilities with my new employer.
No gap between previous and new current employer.
Status of I-140 remains approved and I-485 remains pending in USCIS website.
Should I proceed AC21 filing immediately? Is there anything need to be done in order to keep the immigration status legal?
I would really appreciate your valuable suggestions.
Thank you
