I would like to share my experience and it may help some people here.
My H1 was sponsored by company A when I was working with them on OPT. I paid $3000 for H1 filing and attorney fees and company A gave me the H1 approval notice only after I signed an agreement that I would work for atleast one year with them.
Afetr 1 month of my H1 approval, I got a better job offer from company B and I got the H1 transferred. I notified my client and company A who threatened to revoke my H1, take me to court etc etc. They also withheld 4 weeks of my pay.
After joining company B, I filed a complaint against company A with DOL that they withheld my salary and also they demanded H1 fees from me. After 2 weeks of that complaint, my salary was deposited into my account and DOL was looking into my complaint about H1 fees. This case finally got resolved last week after about 18 months, when DOL finally persuaded company A to pay $3000 back to me.
I would request everyone who is a victim of these blood sucking employers to
take every possible action against them. There's a very little chance that they would go to court because they are themselves involved in gross irregularities.

Aha! Got your attention, didnt it? Shut the Frog Up, its croaking all night...
Folks, the admins have top quality counsel that is out there to help us help them effect changes that we all desire. This is NOT the time or place for armchair experts and critics to question or second-guess strategies and tactics.
Enough is enough. Shut the frog up if its croaking too loudly in your brain. Dont use your 'grey cells' to bring your 'artificial intelligence' to this conversation. Enough is enough. Just do what the experts ask us to do.
Reason 'high skilled' immigrants are struggling to get things passed, we think too much. Exactly. Keep things simple. Follow the recipes. You will get the results.
So, enough is enough. Stop second guessing or bringing your debating skills and analysis skills to an area where you have no expertise or context.
Thanks for listening. Now, lets BECOME SIMPLE FOLLOWERS for a change. Change will happen.
Wanna debate? Speak to your b'room mirror and entertain yourself. Dont bring it here and cause confusion.

74K EB-3 applications and 70K EB-2 application you are saying it is too good to be true ?? With 3300 Green Card numbers in each category, you are looking at 22 Years for EB3 and about 17 years wait for EB-2. Also probaly you did not download the file, It is from Sen. John Kyle of AZ.
In my view, it is too good to be true. But we have no way to challenge the numbers either. But it is 50% of the entire EB pending cases. Is this document authentic?? I don't see the logo on the letterhead??

What is this reverse brain drain ? there is no such thing - folks who are here are going to hang on tooth & nail to stay here come hell or high water - the only ones who are going back are the ones who have no other option.
Or they have way more options than you or me!! Don't envy those guys who move around the world like free birds not thinking twice about leaving the green card process half way, and unlike us they probably will earn more after leaving US. Your post shows lots of frustration..... take it easy man!:D

Once the Break is Over in 2nd week of September, We all should call members of congress , as many as possible, to get their Support for Visa Recapture Bill. If that bill passes, it will help all the EB categories.

I asked one of my friend (who is from retrogresed country) whether he is aware of IV, a group of "like-minded" members working on immigration retrogression related relief?
He quipped me back saying that he is aware of IV and IV is NOT "like-minded" group but "Money-minded" group of people, keeping on asking money all the time....Definately, its sending wrong signal...

Company A applied for my labor and I140(approved and Active currently) in 2005. Moved to company C in April 2007(H1 transfer), applied for I485 using Company A's EVL in July 2007. I got a 485 RFE now for EVL. Can I now say that I have used AC 21 by sending relevant documents or should I send EVL from Company A?
Forum Gurus - I got a denial letter on my 485. I am a July 2007 filer and applied for AOS in July 2007. My 140 was revoked by ex employer in August 2008 and immediately I got a NOID from USCIS and responded to it in a timely manner and my case processing resumed.
But now, I got a denial stating that my 140 has been revoked in August 2008 and thats why my 485 is denied. My Attorney is filing for MTR and says it is a mistake on their side and will be resolved through MTR.
It just baffles me that the person who sent the denial letter never looked into the system to see my case trail and blindly issued the denial notice. My Attorney says, it is very much possible that they do not look at RFEs or responses - they just issue denials when they browse through the 140s.
I am EB2 India with a priority date of March 2006. I think some kind of pre assessment is going on. There are no LUDs and mine is at the TSC.
Is there anyone else in the same boat? How long does it take for MTR to get processed?

Nice. It appears that according to the link below:
http://immigration-information.com/forums/showpost.php?p=18946&postcount=28
The EAD doesn't get invalid when AOS is denied and will be valid till its expiration date.
On the other hand, it appears that there is an advantage to switching to EAD prior to the 6 year H1 expiration to stop the H1 clock. In situation where a AOS is incorrectly denied, a change of status from EAD to H1 for the remainig time can be helpful.
Thoughts?
Did I understand wrong?
After 6 yrs on H1 with pending AOS, if 485 gets denied, H1 is not renewd. So far so good....
I am under impression that aftet the denial, person still has whatever time left on his H1 to stay and work till H1 expires. No futher extension will be possible due to denial.
Is above statement wrong????
I had checked with my attorney, he had mentioned that I could keep on working till my H1 expired.... I will recheck with him.
Regards.

Older 2 & 3 were very subjective and controversial so I suggest removing them
Our letter is not about CNN hiring H1�s, and let�s be practical CNN is likely not to fire Lou Dobb, especially if we insist.
================================================== ====
The Chairman, CEO Time Warner Inc and Senior Corporate Executives.
Dear Mr. Parsons,
We are deeply disturbed by the false comments aired on Mr. Lou Dobbs' show, on your CNN network July 9, 2007. On his show Mr. Dobbs interviewed Rep Tom Tancredo(R), Colorado who claimed that H1-B workers overstay their visas and do not go back home.
Quoting Mr. Tancredo from your show: "H1-B visa is for 5 years" and "700,000 H1-B workers overstaying their visas"
Even though Mr. Dobbs did not make the comments himself he aired them on his show. This makes both CNN and Lou Dobbs liable for these irresponsible and incorrect statements.
Let us straighten the facts here for you on H1-B visas.
1) H1-B visa is issued for a maximum of 6 years in increments of 3 years. It is not 5 years as claimed by Rep Tancredo on Lou Dobbs show. Further, once the first stage of Green card application is been pending for more than a year, H1-B can be extended indefinitely beyond six years.
2) H1-B�s pay all types of taxes (Social Security, Federal, State etc.) from day-1. In fact, more than a 100,000 H1-B�s, have been working, paying taxes in US for 5-10 years, without even being a permanent resident. The issue of tax has been misreported on Mr. Dobbs show on multiple times.
3) Fewer percentage of H1-B s have overstayed their visas than the percentage of senators who have been guilty of taking bribes, or the percentage of journalists who have misrepresented facts!
4) Medical doctors, Researchers, Engineers, Bio-technologists, CEOs, CFOs you name it, a lot of them are H1-B visa holders. They are in demand in all industries. The shortage of high-skilled workers has in fact led Microsoft to plan the setup of a research center in Vancouver. But, that�s another topic, and is not the purpose of our letter here.
Over the years, many of us have held CNN in high esteem for its journalistic capabilities, and we would still like to think of it is as the �Most Trusted name in news�. However, this issue is turning out to be a huge disappointment for the highly skilled legal immigrant community. We hope that CNN recognizes these errors and rectifies in a visible manner. If no action is taken, we are likely to think that CNN misreports in matters which are not so well known to us.
Sincerely,
Our letter is not about CNN hiring H1�s, and let�s be practical CNN is likely not to fire Lou Dobb, especially if we insist.
