Was your previous approval based on an extension ? [Pending LC/Approved I-140 etc] ?
Does your current transfer require documents from the previous employer ? [LC/Approved I-140] ?
Were you paid the prevailing wages mentioned in the LCA of previous H1B ? Can this be supported by the W2 of last financial year [Not the paycheck].
Did you have I-94 attached in the previously approved H1B ?
Please answer these questions it might be helpful in finding what might have raised the red flag.

Logiclife, I am sorry you are wrong.You don't need to post hour by hour update, but the update you posted today on Aman's meetings , help people to understand what really IV is doing and are necessary atleast once a fortnight.I am sure you are working in a corporate world and drive projects.The first rule on driving a big project is status meetings once every week.This helps all the stakeholders.

I never have and never will like the idea of being asked to pay, I give what I can unasked. What of the people that by circumstance do currently not have these amounts of money to spare. I should not have to feel excluded nor should I have to explain my very personal reasons why to everyone.
Have you guys looked in the forums lately, people are getting "yelled" at and talked to rudely if they do not disclose how much exactly they have contributed. So we are only allowed to an opinion or help if we have money?
I will contribute when I have money to spare, however it seems I will have to leave this organization based on the comments that have been out there before I get to the point where I can afford to contribute. That goes for both time and money, some of us have responsibilities that we do not want to disclose.
*sigh* I might have just opened myself up to the ones that like to attack....go ahead...

No, Haven't got any response yet. But if we are able to send atleast a 100 letter with same concern, I'm sure atleast Rep. Zoe Logfren will raise the issue with USCIS...
mirage,
Good initiative, I will send a mail too. Did you get any kind of response back?
Good luck!

EB2 I/C is in for a really really long wait.
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)
FYI ...With support from a few people .. we are in the process of filing a Direct injunction for stoppage and immediate audit of interfiled/approved cases. But more support would be appreciated.
Are you sadist or something? Why you are wishing to audit approved cases?

No, EB3 ROW can use all the available EB3 ROW numbers. But the unused EB2 (ROW/Mex/Phil) have been distributed to the oversubscribed countries.
That's how I interpret that.
The popular belief was that the unused EB2 ROW would first go EB3 ROW but according to this they actually go to the oversubscribed countries in the same category (EB2)
If EB2 quota stays at EB-2 and EB-1 quota goes to EB-2 if unused. That really benefits EB-2 India/China and will hurt all the EB-3 filer. I can see many EB-3 filer, no matter they are China/India/RoW may want to interfile and upgrade to EB-2. I wonder if USCIS do this in purpose to make extra revenue? If there are 30% of EB-3 filer try to file EB-2 again, USCIS can really make some bucks out. :eek:

Oracle clearly said that if they can not bring people here, they will send work to one their global offices.
As with the proposed bill Microsoft and others will be labeled "H1B dependent employer"
Most of the big firms Oracle, MICrosoft, Lehman etc..all the big ones are full of H1B people. ..

i have dumped h1 and am on ead... i am on a job for which they were not going to do H1... and am having real good fun, have a inc company on side and am working to set it up so that i can leave my job and work on my own...
essentially, i am taking a very optimistic view of things... thing is i know that there are cases of illegal people doing great in their lives... disabled people winning medals, then my immigration demon is such a small one!! so should i worry about all this and screw myself up? or should i just do what i gotta do? I chose latter... if bad things have to happen to me, then anything could happen... are the odds of gc rejection more than losing my job (in this economy?). i mean... there could be so many things going wrong!!! plus, i dont think this gc process was made for f***ing people up... it is surely a long process, but that does not mean it is uncertain to the extent that rejection is certain!!! hence my choices...
have fun! and let me know what you decide...
I know it has been discussed a couple of times but more I read about the keeping H1 status/Using EAD &AP the more confused I get. The problem stems from the fact that we want to use the goodies offered by AOS (EAD and AP) but concerned what happens to H1 status. Don't want to get H1 stamping but want to use H1 status.
I talked to my lawyer and she prefers that I get H1 stamping when I go abroad and keep H1 as long as possible.
We have been longing for a while to apply for AOS so that it frees us from H1B shackles and gives us freedom to work. But now that most of us got the EAD, most people don't want to use it (except perhaps the dependents who can now work)
I want to play the devil's advocate for a min and say why not dump H1 and go with EAD/AP route.
One of the advantages people cite with maintaining H1 status is that if some thing goes wrong with I485 , you can still stay here as long as H1 is valid. Another advantage is you don't need to renew EAD/AP every year (Cost) because H1 is given for 3 years (If retrogressed or have H1 time left).
1) But if my I140 is approved and I am working with a good company and the GC is applied in good faith and have good lawyers working on it, what are the chances of rejection ?
2) What is the appetite to start the GC all over by staying on H1 in case this GC is denied after 4-5 years(Likely for most). Ability to challenge the denial of course is different story.
3) I believe most people who got EAD/AP now will continue to extend them just in case (to be safe). So the cost benefit is out of the window. And if the company pays for all the expenses for EAD/AP renewals should I care to keep the H1 status from the cost point of view.
4) If I am willing to use AC21 and change the employer, I believe using EAD gives me more bargaining power than using the H1 because there are more options (Some companied don't do H1) and there is less work for the company (No need to file for H1 transfer)
5) On other hand if I dump H1 status , I can work part time using EAD or start my own business etc.
I see that it is a unanimous opinion that keeping the H1 is a good idea (Including my lawyer suggestion).
I intention here is not to make a statement one way or the other. As I mentioned earlier, I wanted to play devils advocate and challenge some of the perceived benefits of keeping H1 and provoke some responses so that I know I am NOT missing the benefits of H1 that other people see.
Your 2 cents please !!!!

I just called all the numbers and left messages. Wouldn't it be more impactful if we have someone like Vinod Khosla represent us. These calls are great but someone who can walk directly into the Congresswoman/Congressman office will give us greater mileage in our efforts.

kubmilegaGC - Heartiest congratulations! Go out and enjoy the freedom!!! You deserve it.
@Cali - I wish we could have got it together - really! I know the frustration...But may be few more days and you will be through as well. lets keep the hope. You have been great although we got e-introduced only couple of weeks back...
anyone who is in the same boat - write on the forums - help each other and provide any nugget that could change the game...I do believe I got tremendous help from this forum and the morale support that was needed just to bear through each day. It helped me with my emotions and provided guidance and some comparisons.
It is easier said than done - but hang in there!

Attack the argument, not the argumentor.
Is that from your PhD course work homie? Clearly you dont have an argument because an argument is based on facts. I need something to attack so I'm picking on you.
Always remember: We stand together and thats the only way we will ever build a Indian strong community in US of A.

You seems an expert in this option trading. How about microcap stock trading ?
I am not a chartist or day trader if that is what you want to know. I have worked in high frequency Stat-Arb trading which also does micro caps sometimes.

I did paid consultation to find answer to this question with murthy office. As per them, one can do transfer and extension of H1B even after using AP as long as the current I-797 is still valid.
Thank you so much for sharing your information with the rest of us. It is people like you who makes this IV Forums so valuable.
What 'casinoroyale' mentioned does sound logical to me. H1 can either be VALID or INVALID. (there is no third state). if its valid it can be transferred or extended.
If someone says its valid but can not be transferred, means we are talking about a third kind of H1B here which is neither VALID nor INVALID. An H1B only valid with current employer and which can not be transferred or even extended. Thankfully, this kind of third state does not exists.
However I am no legal expert on this and hence asking others to share their experience on this.
