Even other consulting companies like Patni hold Tax refunds from their employees. Their reasoning is that-Employer didn't withheld correct amount of money and hence employee is getting money back.
Yes, they engage in such unscrupulous activities. These companies won't even send W-2 to employees.

I spoke to a Sr. Attorney at Murthy firm today. Though the consultation is for 20 min, our telephonic conversation ran for about 50 min. I took an appointment yesterday and somehow i messed it up and didn't call at scheduled time and they are very accomodative and re-scheduled it for today. As soon as i send an email to the receptionist today morning about schedule mess up yesterday, she called me and re-scheduled it for today. This is a very good experience of mine at Murth firm.

thanks for clarification. Lot of ppl were giving confusing info about it.
I have filed my I-485 in December 2007 with new fees $ 1010 and it is still pending even though my priority dates are all the time current since I filed the I-485.....I just applied for I-131 and I-765 for rennewal with $305 and $340....It was free for only first time then all have to pay for renewal.
Hope this answer your question.

12/10/2006: The President Signed Yesterday Continuing Resolution Bill, H.J. 102
The President swiftly signed this bill yesterday so that operation of the federal government be not negatively affected nor disrupted. None of immigration-related bills was apparently attached to this bill. When the new Congress returns on January 4, 2007, one of the top agenda will remain pending appropriation bills for various federal departments and agencies, which they should take care of by February 15, 2007. There is a chance that some immigration legislations such as H-1B relief can still be attached to one of these appropriation bills. People may recall that when the Senate-passed S.1932 died not too long past for its failure to pass the House, the H-1B and L-1 Reform Acts were introduced by Rep. Lamar Smith (TX) and the Congress easily passed the bill as a rider to the Omnibus Spending bill! Considering the fact that the business and academic communities can feel urgency more tangibly in the H-1B crisis as an imminent issue affecting their businesses "here and now," as opposed to EB immigrant issue which may be considered a long-term issue, the negative impact of which may be not necessarily imminently visible and tangible as relaed to their businesses "here and now." In this regard, the H-1B legislation can be taken out of the ill-fated SKIL bill and passed earlier than SKIL-type of EB immigration bill or CIR. We will see how things will unfold.

Hi,
I'm planning to leave my employer but I have'nt completed my 180 days after filling I485. I have filled my I485 on Aug 15 2007 and got receipt date on Oct 20 07. Now I'm planning to go to India for H1b stamping for extension and once I back to US I want to use AC21 and change the employer since he's not paying me my salary. Can anyone please answer following questions
(1)Will 180 days be counted from receipt date or Submitted date.
(2)Can I use AC21 and change my employer before 180 Days?
(3)What is the problem I might going to face with my present employer?
(4) What all the documents I need to secure my GC since he have'nt given any documents for labour and I 485, however I have case nbr for tracking.
Any advise is very valuable.
Thanks in advance!

My friend with july-07 filer (I-140 approved in Jan-07) lost H1 in Mar-08 and work on EAD and his company move to new address in May-09. USCIS site visit on Aug-09 to old address for H1-b (one year ext) for his co-worker. His co-worker got letter form USCIS to submit documents in Dec-09 for existance of the Company. Company inform everyone in Nov-09 that it is going out of business and shutting down operation in Dec-09.
What are the options my friend and his co-worker with (LC/I-140 approved form another company) have??

Not working isn't an issue.
The reason I want to move is because I'm in a triangle relationship with a married couple (I'm bisexual).
They want to hire me to make it able for me to move, because seeing that he is already married, a spouse or fiance visa isn't an option...
Seeing that my support when living there would come from them, it isn't an issue for me to not be able to work in the mean time.
But I would just want to move as soon as possible...
It's only that it's very hard to find a legal way to do that in the current situation...
Moderators please remove this thread.....in a time where so many ppl are worried of losing their jobs....there are some idiots who put up these kind of threads..

Can't you apply for a B-1 visa status until you get a job??
Any one has done that?
Yes, one of my colleague got fired. He was on 6th year of H1b with Labor pending for more than 365 days. With few paychecks first he changed his status to B1 and then it took 6 months for him to find a job and then he used pending labor to get 1 year H1b extension and now he is apply for GC via PERM etc.

FM,
You pounced on my post before I added the poll.
I would like to hear from folks who are thinking about their own lawyer. How do we answer RFE's if we hire our own lawyer? Are you hiring your own lawyer because your company is willing to work with any law firm? (or) Do you feel that I 485/EAD/AP has nothing to do with employer ( assuming I 140 is approved and not used/using substitution labor ) and the RFE's will be pretty much personal. How do people who joined new employers after 180 days answer any RFE's esp if the previous company and law firm is not willing to co-operate?

Folks , don't flame me because this is a friend of friend info. This person came into USA in around Dec2009, without informing the petitioning employer.He found a job in last few days and approached the employer.His employer is asking him to leave the country and saying he would revoke h1.
This guy wants to report to DOL and get back pay but he will have to misrepresent some information to make his case. If he tells DOL that I came and never informed the employer I am doubting DOL will side with employer. I was advising my friend that a bigger concern is if he lies to make his case and that lie is found out he may be in bigger trouble for lying on official form and supplying false info to a govt official.A am advising that the best would be to either get the matter resolved by negotiation and if the employer doesn't budge, leave the country.
Can some one comment if my doubts are unjustified?
Part II: Will this friend be in trouble ,if he helps the guy with lying and the follow-up process.
Please share your opinion.
Please note: I 100% support reporting violating employers to DOL.
Your friend's friend and your friend are on the wrong side. If your friend's friend is proved to be lying, DOL can black-list him forever. Your friend will also be in trouble from DOL / USCIS if he is providing any supporting documentation for lying.
Your advice to him that "the best would be to either get the matter resolved by negotiation and if the employer doesn't budge, leave the country" is correct and the way to go.

I guess you are missing a few points...
1. The backlog does not include the oncoming requests for the other categories (which is fine for EB3, because even EB3-ROW is back-logged)
2. Fall-over across categories .. and since EB3-ROW itself is backlogged, there is no fall-over for EB3 I/C/M
3. Fall-down happens in a sequence, ie EB5 -> EB1 -> EB2 -> EB3 .. since EB2 itself has over-subscribed categories, there is nothing which falls down to EB3
Hence EB3 roughly gets only its quota... which for over-subscribed is ~3k

Great posts by all. But still my original question is not replied. Let me repharse it.
When I know that it is going to take 7-10 years for USCIS to even open my I-485 application for adjudication process in the mean time can I work on EAD in whatever position I want and at the time of adjudication join my employer for this future job (for which I-140 is approved) or if it is available at that time then use AC21 provison and start working as a "Programmer Analyst" for a month or so with this new employer and provide EVL from new job?
This is not much clear to me.
I believe since GC is for future job, it is alright to use EAD in the meantime for whatever job (I mean any kind of job even like a chef) as long as I can prove that I have intentions to work with this future employer as soon as my I-485 gets approved. I know my employer will not revoke I-140 any time.
I am asking this because so many people say they have to take a job with the same or similar job description but I believe the point in time is not now but when USCIS approaches the time frame for I-485 adjudication only then.
Please tell me if I am correct or incorrect.

So If I m settled in India and have no US income then whatever I withdraw from my IRA would be my total income and I have to pay tax on that.
If this is the case then I think those who are very certain that they will settle in India and currently in the higher tax bracket (>25%) would save money even if they withdraw money from IRA. One can save 25% right now and pay 10% + small tax when you withdraw.

If I were you, then I will do the below:
ASSUMPTION: I have not married and if I know I will get married only after a year or two then,
1. I will apply for AOS now. After six months, invoke AC21 and find a better job.
2. I will stay on EAD until a month before I get married.
3. I will switch to H1 back from EAD through my present employer and get married and bring my wife on h4 and will stay on H1 until my date becomes current. If my wife can get some H1, then I will invoke my EAD etc etc.
Guys,
Any inputs r apprecited.
I am on EB2 with PD dec 2006 and will be filing for 485 and i140 is pending. Being single and marriage date not sure, i may not got much benifitted by EAD/AP. I still have 3 years of h1b. I work for a non profit organization on IT side ..good thing is very secure and very easy to get GC. Bad part is pay not competativ enough with private companies all though good enough to lead a good life in US.
I have got H1b done from a consultancy and now i am the delema to jump to private company or not as i still have 3 years of H1b. But the very fact that i need to go thru al the process of GC again makes me think twice. The fear fo regretting is making me not to take chance as the 485 dates became current. Also i feel i can alaways think of climbing the career ladder after GC. In brief i am bit confused as i have many options.
I would apprecite if you throw suggestions on this situation.
Although eventually i will take the decsion which is good for me.
Thanks in advance....

dont have high hopes for a recapture. the year is almost over.. its holiday season mode from next month onwards..
instead of a BIG reforms..we must try for smaller reliefs..
CIR will happen ...but not NOW... Obama has staked his future on health care reforms.. Immigration is a non-issue for now.. the sooner we realise it the better for us.. else..we will be chasing a mirage..
temp reliefs can be:
a.) concurrent 485 filing
b.) 4-5 year EAD's - without restrictions..
