I agree it is wrong ...but let us look from the employer point of view ...mostly such employers are small companies trying to survive ...they have to balance 2 acts ..get a consultant and then find him a project soon..both are unknowns ..i.e. his consultant may get a h1 and then that person on h1 maybe smart enough to get a project ..it is difficult and these companies do serve a purpose i.e. they give entry in to US for many consultants ..who then jump after getting some experience.
The issue boils down to this:
Companies want to retain the employee as long as they can
consultant wants to leave as fast as they can
company wants to pay the least
consultant wants the most pay
Above four issues can be dealt with.
However; off of a project; company doesn't want to cancel h-1b (their investment, don't want to pay salary because it is cost prohibitive; many consultants want to go % basis as soon as they can and that is very little to pay people who are on bench). company tries to tell consultant to transfer h-1b or go back to home country and wait for new project. Consultant doesn't want to go back (they have their life here; kids going to school; car payments, friends, etc.).
It is a pretty easy solution from a company point of view; we don't pay bench but as soon as you are off project then you gotta go. People will beg and plead not to go; they will then try to transfer h-1b to another company without a job.
A lot of this has to do with person not wanting to leave and do everrything possible to stay.

I know this might have been discussed but when is the RD if the application is moved (by uscis) from NSC to TSC?
My I140 was approved by TSC sometime back. My 485/EAD/AP were sent to NSC in first/second week of July. Finally got the receipt last week. The receipt says that my application is received on Sept 5th - which is not true (it was sent in JULY); based on this notice it seems they are recording the RD as the day when they enter the application details in their system and not the day when it is actually physically received by them.
I thought its other way round based on FAQ. Am I missing something? is it worth calling them on this? Thanks.
NOTE: see you all on DC rally day.

asdcrajnet, very sorry to hear but good luck with your new efforts and live peacefully!!!
Finally we have decided to go back to India for good. I filed my EB3 in May 2003. Its going to be another 4 years to get the green card. When I went to India for vacation last December, we liked it over there & the economy is booming. There are all sorts of discussion regarding the Economic Gap/Politics/Corruption/Cleanliness. But we like it over there. Finally I will have an option to do something interesting. In US I was very much dependent on my monthly pay check and afraid to take even the slightest risk. I am also scared to use the AC21(Hey, thats the way I am). I am working with the same company for last 10 years, kinda stagnant in the last 4 years. In India, there are lots of choices, either to work for a sw company or start some business on my own. I think I will take the business route.
May be I can go there, earn well, send my son to US for college, do green card through him & come retire in US!!!
Good Luck to everybody!!

This is what I don't understand. Priority dates are set so only applications before that date can be approved. Processing dates are not set in that sense of the term.
Processing dates doesn�t mean they don�t process applications received after those dates.
I got my H1B renewal notice last week. My application�s received date is in 3rd week of Jan and Processing date for H1B extension is still in December-07.

thanks for responding...any contradicting/second opinions? What is the exemption towards - both filing for 485 and processing of 485 too, right? Isn't it an exemption from the EB quota?
Exemption of a qualified alien from the availability of visa numbers. So yes, you can file for 485 however unavailable EB2/3/1 visa numbers are.
And I agree with the previous poster that should this SKIL ever pass, it does not matter under which category your employer filed your LC, you are able to go ahead and file for AOS with a post-graduate US STEM degree.

H1B costs company money to employ, also too many H1B and they become H1B Dependent company. There are many reason that are not racist related so think.

Hi
I came to us on H4 in 2007 and the got my H1B in 2008. I am not getting a job on H1 yet so i want to know that till when the H1B be valid as I am not generating any salary and my consultant is not running my payroll ?
And if the H1 goes dormant then what can be done next?
Couple of questions here -
1. Did you report for work? Also, did you indicate to your employer that you are ready to start working?
2. Did your employer terminate your employment by giving you written notice of employment termination? If not, in that case, your employer is obligated to pay you until
a. your employment is terminated
AND
b. USCIS is notified of such termination. (Section 214.2 (h)#11) of 8-CFR)

I think your idea is good. But this could be very difficult to implement, at least for USCIS.
Another suggestion is that porting should be automatic. As soon as a person acquires the required qualification for EB2 + a letter from the company that the person's future job will be of EB2 caliber, UCSIS should put him/her in EB2 category. This is some thing we should work on.
Have you contacted anyone about your ideas? Allowing everyone to port from EB3 to EB2 will solve a lot of problems that America faces today. Except Global warming of course.:D

Approved on 7/14/2008
Card received on 7/18/2008
Got 2 yr renewal.
Btw - why are lot of members mentioning FP related information under EAD? I did my FP last Oct. Should I be expecting second FP as a result of EAD renewal application. I am missing some thing basic here. Any pointers?

Not sure if I got your question...
You can file I-485 only when your dates are current. If you filed I-485 by itself (not concurrently with I-140) then your PD will not be on the I-485.
is this pattern (missing PD on I-485) for people who've PD current and not got greened?

Filed two EAD renewals to TSC: one on 07/06/08, another on 07/14/08.
Both included only the documents required by the filing instruction, nothing besides.
The first one was accepted, ND 8 Jul, the second returned with a request for a copy of I-485.
Added and re-sent again- no receipt yet.
Got emails today: Card production ordered for both applications

Guys,
as long as there is a leeway, people do tend to take the maximum advantage of that leeway. this applies in life in every aspect. OP did the same.
being moral or ethical is not the criterion here I guess, otherwise we would all have (I,C) have been current ( if no labor subs, eb3 to eb2 conversions etc).
I feel bad too, seeing some one who landed on H1B in 2006 , got hold of a 2002 labor sub. and is enjoying GC right now(thanks to July 2007 fiasco)., and for crying out loud I have been in USA since 2001, went to school here, is working in a physical science research position, have one patent and filed for 2 more.
I consider myself to have contributed to the USA, more than the guy I gave an example of (in terms of taxes, tuition, original research, etc). But does that all matter to the other guy, when he did what he did.
that is life :D
Looks like the world we are living in does not care about conventional wisdom any more....
--- Conventional wisdom says, if you are talented and hard working you will be rewarded. This does not matter to EB Folks as there is per country limit.
--- Conventional wisdom says, if you found a good company to invest in, you are sure to make profits . This does not matter in the current Wall Street and economic environment.
--- Conventional wisdom says, if you have good education from top US university you are most probably gonna get good job. However this does not matter as long as there are desi Consultants who exploit the system.
--- Conventional wisdom says, if you work hard and smart enough you are bound to get promoted. This does not matter to EB Folks as there is retrogression to make you do the same job until you get frustrated.
--- Conventional wisdom says, if you have good bank balance you can get richer. This does not matter as you try to multiply your savings by investing in a House / Stock Market you lose all you saved to foreclosure or to wall street goons.
--- Conventional wisdom says, being ethical and honest is the best policy. This does not matter as someone else gets the job you applied for with their cooked up resume.
And the list goes on and on every front in your life.......and whom do we we blame, but the system that encourages this bad behaviour....

Krithi: Can you please let me know how to go to Adv Parole side. Although we have had them but have never used them before. So I need to guide my wife towards this AP area.
So in order to show or use AP my wife has to go and line up in the visa queue OR she has to go to Permanent Resident/Citizens side and from there they will route to this AP check/processing area. Please advise.
Sorry with my fundamental questions but I have never used my APs till now.
Krithi kindly reply or anybody else who can help with my questions/clarification mentioned above kindly help me.
Thanks a lot
Best Regards,
You have to go and line up in the visa line NOT citizens/PR line (since you are not one). Just carry all relevant docs - EVL (if applicable), receipt notice copy of 485, both originals of AP, etc...

Dudes & Dudettes,
Hasnt the issue of processing order been beaten to death?
I understand the momentum here....not trying to rain on a parade or anything...but shouldnt we be a little practical. How long is litigation going to take? Wont only naive lawyers even take this up?
USCIS can always pull the security reason trump card here.
moreover, during the last quarter...in the effort to not waste visas, low hanging easy to approve cases with later priority dates have gotten approved. wudnt u rather have that than visas going waste?
We have been patient for a very long time....lets see how the dates move in the 1st 2 quarters of fiscal 09.
My personal suggestion....stop worrying aout GC...there are much bigger things in life to worry about. :)
