We should definately ask these kind of questions. The credit is not mine completely. Another IV member asked this question at a previous debate and educated me about submitting questions to the california debate. This question did not get picked up at the previous debate. Let's work to get the question picked up this time
I guess we should use chances like these to get our agenda heard by the people and the govt. There are going to be atleast 3 more presidential debates we should try to get this question asked atleast in a couple of them. We can modify the question to make it more broad, but still keep the focus on legal immigration problems by highlighting it.
PS: You have earned yourself some green ;) I mean rep points from me

I want to give some fraud and abuse examples. Unfortunately, there are some bad apples in the H-1B visa program.
From The Grassley Visa Tax (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=191337&postcount=1383) The Wall Street Journal Editorial, November 2, 2007
Department of Labor investigations reveal that some 90% of violations are paperwork offenses and good-faith misunderstandings.

Honestly, these consultants don't even have an H1B worthy job: its not a permanent job offer. They don't get paid fulltime. Let alone their eligibility for a GC ....what a scam!
We need to let uscis know and audit all current and past approved cases from these consultants)

Logiclife. I know why you are responding to these comments you all are frustrated with such comments. I know it is hard to not respond but please ignore these asinine comments. Please have some of these comments linked to the main page. But believe me "barking dogs seldom bite." Such people will ultimately sap your energy. But, just like how IV is asking people to contribute please also ask them to use their own judgment, they do this at their own risk. There are many people like us who have faith in your group although we know you cannot do miracles. Please have faith and I sincerely request to all members & moderator that once we see these comments let us move this to the some thread called “IV bashing thread” and let the rest of us completely ignore them.

Hello:
The company I am working with doing business for 40 years (less than 40 employee) and as per my lawyer, financially very good. I hired the lawyer and employer directly gave him financial docs. I am only one person with H-1 in this company's history and working for 4 years. Got labor approval on PERM EB2 (MS+1) and did concurrent filing with I-140 premium processing.
I received RFE regarding company's ability to pay. We sent tax files for FY 2005 (contains oct '05 to Oct '06) for being PD of Nov '06 and W2 for 2006 which showed 6k more than offered wage. Company started paying me offered wage one week after the PD and offered wage is 3k more than prevailing wage. RFE specified to show ability to pay by showing 2006 tax return or audited financial statement by 12 weeks. Any of this will not work as tax file will be prepred on Nov '07 for FY 2006 and audited finan. stat. costs a lot of money. My company has no clue and just planning to write a letter that they will not able to provide before Nov 07 and already submitted tax file upto Oct 06 which could be enough to find the financial status. They talk to their CPA and he advised to do so.
I am really not very fimilar with all these issues. What should I do as company is not able to provide above 2 things that USCIS asked for? Can I send my paychecks even started getting paid offered wage after one week?
Appreciate you feedback. Thanks,
Is your salary higher than offered wages since PD month-wise? There could be a way out.
Not a legal advice.

I had my H1 visa appointment on December 27th in Chennai. They said that my visa was approved and that I would recieve my passport within one week. I have not recieved it yet. I called up the Consulate a few times last week and initially they were saying that 'it would take another 2-3 days'. Finally when I called up on Friday the 4th, they said that another 7 days was needed for the PIMS verification.
Still no news......I was supposed to fly out on the 6th to report to work on the 8th but had to postpone my ticket.
Anyone else in the same position please share!
Thanks

I am married too, but i only said that there are other easier paths aswell.
Regarding working late, i am a fulltime employee with H1-B and never came to office before 10:00AM and stayed after 6:00PM and never ever worked weekends. Mine can be an exceptional case, but what iam saying is, your relationship with your manager is important. This can make a lot of difference in your lives.
As long as you deliver what is expected of you, you can even work 4 days a week and get paid for 40 hrs per week.
I don't know, if we are deviating from our main discussion agenda started by LogicLife.
--sri
I disagree with Logiclife on immigration to the U.S( or to any other country for that matter) being a right. All that would have made sense when the "new world" was discovered and does not hold any water in today's context.
Also, we get paid for getting the job done not working hard. So just a claim of being the most hardworking "class" of prospective immigrants will not cut it.

USCIS could be making a determination that the 140's company is now revoking were approved iun error and people are not eligible for ac21.
If it is determined that that is indeed why they (USCIS) denied a certain 485, and then the applicant proceeds to hire/seek the help of competent lawyers and accounting professionals (I�m not naming anyone here :)) to file an MTR where the old employer�s ability to pay for that particular employee (from the time of filing the labor until the employee left the old employer/submitted AC21 documents) is demonstrated via the employee's W-2s, do you think the applicant has a chance to get the 485 re-instated?
I'll keep everyone posted of what happens to this case.
Thanks, highly appreciated, as always.

Dear Mr. Larry Malace,
As a highly-skilled Employment-based immigrant living in Michigan, I am appalled to know a company like Malace - with a diverse workforce - is sponsoring an anti-immigrant show like "WWJ Business Breakfast" with Mr. LOU DOBBS, which is scheduled to air on Nov 29 between 8 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.
Mr. Dobbs is known for his strong views against immigrants, including considering immigrants to be responsible for the spread of incurable diseases such as Drug-resistant Tuberculosis, Leprosy etc. From past experience on CNN, he is also highly likely to blame the current crisis in Auto Industry to the so-called "importation of cheap labor from third world countries".
He is known to make exaggerated statements such as "Four hundred thousand H1Bs granted in a year" where as facts show otherwise. As per government figures, federal government awarded 124,096 H-1B visas in the fiscal year ending October 2005, the most recent annual totals available. That includes renewed visas, which don't count against the annual cap. These dramatic exaggerations distort the reality and provide a falsified alarmist view of the situation; which works against the interests of Immigrants ,businesses and American economy.
It's not in the best interests of a respected company like Malace & Associates to associate itself with a blatantly anti-immigrant show, that can harm the company's image in the community. I request you to withdraw sponsorship of the show in the best interests of your company and that of the immigrants in the community some of whom may be your workers and business associates.
Appreciate hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
xxxxx

Pros of using H1B:
1. If I-485 denied or having issues in getting approved, then you can still continue with your H1B and have peace of mind.
2. You can bring your spouse / dependents using H4
3. Getting Driving License renewal up to the duration of H1 is not a problem.
4. Can renew in 3 years time period after I-140 approval and can avoid frequent renewal of EAD hassle.
5. EAD renewal every year is expensive and can save money!
Pros of using EAD:
1. Can get a job where the company is not willing to sponsor.
2. Can save H1B time and can be used in future, if needed. [I read about this some time back and users need to check regarding it's validity]
3. Can change companies without any documentation using AC21. [USCIS don�t ask don�t tell policy?]
Please add in appropriate category, if I missed any information.
My 2 cents!
I read on some lawyers site from someone that posted it here in this forum if you move to EAD and surrender your H1 status you can no longer tap in to the unused time frame if you do get in to a situation at a later time. just my 2 cents.

What works for someone may not work for us. VXG and others were lucky we are not as simple as that which does not mean that we left any stone unturned...it just doesn't work that way.....but again will keep on trying...
has anybody tried calling USCIS as the proxy applicant..I mean has anyone as a primary called USCIS for their dependent....the reason I am asking is I need to do that....I am sure there is no "sex" in the file and there is no way for them knowing that I am the primary applicant or not.

It's only how your company treats a particular job opening that you get designated as EB2/EB3. I could file in EB2 and lots of top-rankers from my class could only file in EB3. Does that make them any less capable than me?? Nope!
Exactly and that is the only tangible that immigration law quantifies. EB3 does NOT label an individual as an inferior in terms of skills or knowledge he posses, but simply binds him to the definition of the job that he agreed to take on.

I doubt anyone has been through my situation because most of you are high or higher-paid IT professionals. In my case, my company's immigration attorneys have been requesting the prevailing wage over and over for more than a year noiw (in order to get me started with PERM) but the prevailing wage always comes back way higher than what I am getting paid! Evidently, I am severely underpaid, and there is no light at the end of my tunnel unless my company matches the prevailing wage, which I doubt they will do. I used to laugh at those that called H1B the "modern day slavery", but now I am not laughing anymore. Has anyone at all been through this ordeal and can at least share a shoulder to cry on? Thanks guys
