i am switching job using ac21. my current employer trusts immigration attorneys. and as expected attorneys suggested (since they get paid) that company should withdraws both H1 and I-140 after I leave. I know I am safe, however USCIS will definitly send me an RFE at time of processing my application and I will have to answer that. So I am trying to put my side to them saying that if it is optional, they should not.
So my question is, does the Law say that an employer has to withdraw all (or some) immigration petitions after employee leaves ? I was trying to search but I couldn't find anywhere where it said that it is mandated.
Also as far I could tell from forum posts, there is no set form which needs to be filled by employeers to withdraw the application. That would seem to suggest that it is not mandated.
On flip side, if it is mandated, then why most of the employers do not withdraw the application ?
NO, period.

May be this is the general process, but I know of a case with RD in June last week and PD in 2003 Mar got approved last Nov/Dec area. It is an EB3 India case.
That would be quite surprising (but not unusual with USCIS :confused: ).
If the case has RD in last week of June then theoretically it had some windows where its PD would have been current
June last week - July 2 and
July 17 - Aug 17th.
But looks like the approval happened in Nov/Dec 07...nowhere near the possible PD current time frames I mentioned above. And also during Nov/Dec 07, EB3- India was 'U' ...so how did the case get adjudicated, and Visa number assigned during that time frame ??? !! One could not even argue that the case got adjudicated and visa assigned during July/Aug timeframes but got stuck for a while before the approval was mailed....'cos its about 3-4 months difference to the time the actual approval was mailed!
Should people who get such unusual approvals be worried that USCIS may realise their mistake later and retract the asssigned Visa numbers and put the case back into adjustment of status mode?? I hope not for the sake of sanity of those people who got the approval !
More the reason for me to get the Infopass in April and hopefully force them to open up my case and look if it can be adjudicated.. :( . I wonder what my company's immigration attorneys would say. They usually do not recommend the applicants directly contacting USCIS.

There are certain things that money cannot buy [for everything else there is Master card :) ].
Seriously, If $2000 dollars would buy you a GC (guaranteed) then I think most (> 90%) of the people on this forum would have gone for that (or atleast convince their employers to part with that amount for a guaranteed ROI)
It would be good to get some kind of insight into the thought process of IV core/lead team and how they think they can put a million dollars to effective use?
I mean can we lobby/cultivate our own caucus (not cactus :D) from the ground up in the congress etc, who can work for our cause? What other such effective things can be done?
Any kind of roadmap/plan of action that would probably help generate an interest and convince atleast some people to start donating.
Just saw this on cnet .

"The Hispanic Caucus sees it as a bargaining chip to get what they want, which is comprehensive immigration reform, amnesty for illegal immigrants, whatever you want to call it," Fishman said. "Until the Democratic leadership allows legislation (related to H-1Bs) to go to the floor on its own merits, that's the situation we have here."
Though this is only about H1-B, but I would guess, that caucus would be looking at even other legal immigration/GC related proposals, amendments that come thru and try their best to piggy back on them to further their own agenda. To be able to effectively push legal immigration related laws/changes on their own merit and not held back in one common basket, we might need an equally powerful legal immigration/H1B caucus out there.
But how to get there? Will million dollars help?
Thats the million dollar question currently on everyone's mind I guess :D

I filed 140 to VSC. Would it be transfered to TSC. It is still pending. I got a RFE on 140. Should i send the docs to VSC or TSC. Can anyone please answer this.
Thanks.
You should send the documents to the service center which issued the RFE. The mail address of the service center should appear on the RFE.

Hi
Thank u for the response
client is a finacial firm UBS.
Consulting firm is a direct vendor to the client and they transferred my H1 offerrin' me FT
This was the offer they pay $x on a daily basis -- W2
$65k -- they will mention in H1 and the remaining amount as per the W2 they will pay as bonus once every 3 months, tht's wht the agreetment is.
In the contract i was mentioning it says in case i fail to provide services to the vendor i am suposed to pay all the expenses they spent on me but the thing is client rejected the offer and there was no job @ all and they stopped floating my resume, askin' me to find a job myself.
This is the email i received.... but the thing is i never started at all bcoz of clients rejection based on credit report.
You and vendor entered into an agreement on or about March 8th 2010. According to the agreement you were to provide your services to Vendor by working on a project for our client UBS. Your services were to commence on March 22, 2010
To date, you have not fulfilled your obligations nder the agreement and thus youare required to pay Vendor the total sum of amounts for obtaining your work authorisation along with the cost of obtainig your background check.
If i am still not clear please let me knw
Thanks Again

Unfortunately, incompetence and inefficiency can not be grounds of a lawsuit. :)
Lawsuits can only hold ground if you can prove that a particular action taken was wrong as per the rule on the books and it lead to monetory loss or physical pain.

I would not say that suing USCIS is of no use...It does have its own uses....
Most of the 'American people' donot think beyond their own thing...Some donot have intellectual capacity...Some lack the curiocity..Some are stuck in mortage..marriage..lovelife...divorse...They donot have time to look at our plight or our lawsuit...
For all 'lawsuit oriented' people ...This is some educational material...
Some people already sued the USCIS and their attempt failed...
Still USCIS was forced to make certain statements in a federal court and certain processing became fast because of that...
If you want to try suing please read all this.....

In my particular case, when i signed the contract, the employer agreed to pay for my GC process. But as usual, My employer also did not follow the contract and when my labor was approved, he asked me to pay for the Labor and take care of GC application fees hence forth. I was kind of surprised and did argue with my employer. But Employer gave me an option to leave his company and move to a diff company if needed. But since the labor was approved and the current project was going fine, i thought of sticking with the company and agreed on paying the GC fees.
I dont know if we can really go and harass our employer to re-imburse the GC expenses as they know what they are doing and what are the consequences if they go back on their words..I think they know pretty well about all the loopholes in this immigration process.

Being a consular processing 6 months is a goog time. If you are already working for your existing employer for more than 6 months, even on H1 then you can take a risk. Basically you need to prove an intent. No body expects anyone needs to be a slave to any employer.

$ 745 is the total fee for I-485, I-131, I-765 & biometrics. Many people sent single check of $745 per application. It is weird to see that kind of rejection.

Is this true? I think once you start using EAD your H status is imiidiately invalid. she needs to go out of the country and get the H1B stamped in order to work on H1b.
She can always have the H1 in her back pocket for back up
