I fully respect that retrogression and per country limits are bad for us and the US economy as the first and the foremost of H1B issues.

But, sometimes, some of us aren't able to reach that stage of the Green Card Queue.

Therefore, the H1B displaced workers due to employer malice and corresponding USDL long investigations leaves many without a recourse and bitterly exposed with families to feed and fend:

1. Some three GAO reports, two undercover, one published in NY Times on March 25, 2009 indicates that the WHD fails the complainants giving rise to apprehensions that once an employer creates problems, the H1B's USA plans are doomed, immaterial of how s/he was an integral part of the US economy.
2. To top this, the complainant is cornered as no process exists (regulatory/statutory) to give these stuck H1Bs' an immigration status, and they cannot find new jobs either due to economy or due to employer malice and lost the job in the first place due to retaliation.
3. Finally, when the H1B's complaint comes in the sixth visa year there is just no possibility to seek another H1B when no Green Card process is pending at the Labor Certification or its upper stages leaving a void in the H1Bs most sincere efforts to move on.

Therefore, further, I am requesting you and others at IV to please incorporate some semblance of a support structure once an H1B is reported to have failed due to employer created problems.

I suggest H1B SWAP Act (Skilled Workers Abuse Prevention) that will give at least an EAD and actually a pathway to LPR by having a box on form i485, once an H1B is successfully reported to the USDL to have failed.

I trust this information will be perused and I will be available to given additional input.

Incidentally, I am not alone as you must be aware. Hundreds and even thousands of Indian and other nationalities have had problems, that some are lucky to be able to move on and others get stuck, some even return home totally despaired. None of these individuals and there families are less valuable here.

I am articulating this for the benefit of one and many.

Does it mean that if she graduates before the I-485 is approved, she cannot work? Or can she accept employment on the green card EAD even though the I-140/I-485 are pending. What will be her status during that period?

By filing I-485, she is no longer in F-1 status; she is in AOS. I believe that she cannot get OPT. She can work without any restriction by using her EAD (as long as it is valid).

I am asking this question for relative of mine. I wanted to get some honest opinions.

My relative was manager in India for family company (extended family) for 3-4 years. He received visitor visa about 2 years ago, and subsequently arrived in US.

After taking extended tour of US, he felt that he could expand Indian company's business in US. His companied in India tried to open up business in US. He received L1A for 1 year. However, due to bad economy, business advantature wasn't successful.

He wanted to try to stay in US and try some other management position for established company. Subsequently applied for H1B. He recently received denial notice from USCIS.

Currently, original L1A is expired. L1A extension is pending (lawyer was late in filing, and only filed 7 days before expiration of original L1A).

Is he out of status at this point (expired L1A and denied H1B)? L1A extension is still pending.

What are his option if he wants to stay LEGALLY in US?

Please excuse my ignorance but I do not know much about immigrations, as I am US Citizen myself and never had to go through this grusome process.

I would also appreciate attorney's input.

It was applied in April at TSC and it was a substitution case.

Most of the times all they want it that you introduce them as a sub vendor and pay them $2-5/hr. So the new relation ship will be

Z -> New Vendor -> Y -> X -> You

Hi All,

First off, thank you for taking the time read this.

Now I did see a lot of discussions around this topic but could not get a real answer to my situation, Can someone please help me understand this better.

Currently working for the same employer who started my GC process, Labour applied and approved in Sep 06, I-40 approved in 2007, 485 pending. I'm with the employer for 6 years now. I have a masters degree (MCA) but the job does not require a masters when I joined. I have my bachelors (both 3yr degrees from India). I have close to 10 years of professional experience.

Do I qualify for the port, assuming my job does not require masters degree. Thank you all in advance.
current job does not qualif for EB2, but you can use your experience to join a new employer and port to EB2.

Thanks for the information.

My port of entry is Chicago. I heard that Chicago port of entry also like newyark. means they will ask so many questions. Is it true?
