Does this mean that an MTR filed without the filing fee is automatically considered an appeal?
I don't think so. For an appeal - those boxes must be checked. Once again - I might be wrong.
Sometimes they return the forms back saying - please file it with a fee - sometimes they keep it - WE DONT KNOW

Hi
I left my previous employer more than 6 months back , he didnt paid me my final paycheck and i complained to DOL since 3 months...now wehn i asked for my W2 he said me to do whatever i feel and he is adamant at not giving it....moreover he said that his company has suffered losses worth 25K and his lawyer has sent a legal notice in this regard....and when i said how will we file taxes he says he wished for me to be out of status and go back.....
Since i have complained to DOL and also it is more than 6 moths since i left his organisation giving proper notice and have email confirmations, can he issue me legeal notice.....?please advice...
He is also saying that he has written to USCIS that I am fraud,....though I have been working in fortune 100 companies and now also working in reputed company and never lied for anything and was on project from day 1 since I came to States....? can USCIS cause problems for me in future...
Also, he seems to have closed his company..
Folks please advice....

Look, the situation is terrible but let's not get carried away. We're still here by choice. We bargain going through all this for having the life we have here and not having the energy enough to unroot and head to Canada, Aus or Europe.
May be you are right....but, I feel that the whole thing is a broken promise. And I feel like I fell right in the trap set for people like us.

I have approached Times of India, Rediff and NDTV to have some coverage for this event. I guess the more coverage we will get the more people will respond.
How was the response? I have contacted the following " The Hindu, Deccan chronicle and some telugu and kannada newspapers and TV news channels" so far no responses, I am planning to speak to my dad and his friends (they retired from the news media recently) to get some responses, but whats the point. The July 2nd fiasco was very well publicized in India, rural India too, even a small village or mandal office issuing birth certificates knew abt the visa bulletin and its reversal!!! and what do we have now...non committal friends who are not interested to come to the rally and some even make fun of it!!
Anyways lets keep trying...

Hi
Today I got a call from an officer in "immigration and customs enforcement" asking for an appointment to visit my residence for checing my immigration status.
I am on H1B visa.
I would appreciate if someone could give any sort of information related to calling for a home visit.
Thanks
ICE do site visits to investigate employers. It happened to one of my former colleagues. What officer did was to verify that he was a genuine H1B employee. The officer visited his manager at client's place and verified his duties.
However I haven't heard an officer visiting one's home.
Hi,

Yes, I did use LS.
But my motive was not to jump the line as I told my company attorney to purposefully find an LC from this year or last year. And since it was a multibillion dollar company with some xx thousand employees. They were able to find one.
Not everyone's motives is to jump the line. I did this because I didnt want to wait another 10 years to apply for I 485.
And on the top, dont even think that all who did LS were able to jump the line. LS involves lot of scrutiny and it was always safer to use one's own labor.
Its so funny that some people think that people who cannot prove themselves for what ever reasons (education etc) with their own labor use LS. hehehe. This is even more riskier.
And it was always legal to do it. And may be many people and employers misused it. Shout at those people.
As for me, my labor was going nowhere and the company with which I worked for the past few years found an LS for me which was from last year PD and I do not regret doing it.
And I bet, people who had an opportunity like me would do it.
And also, THE THREAD WAS NOT OPENED WITH A TITLE "WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT LS, SHOULD IT BE BANNED". There were a number of threads on this forum where you can show these kinds of opinions. This thread was opened for a different purpose.
And moveover LS is banned now. So dont waste your energyy but use it for some good causes IV is planning for.
Hi
I think you did good job that you accepted LS from your company.
I never used LS even though it was available at that time. But I don't hate who accepted this LS, I know it was legal and it�s for the company who can utilize their labor instead for waiting for approval of another labor.
I would like to say people who hate thus who used LS because they missed this or they never got chance to get LS, or they never had that much dare to pay the money and get that.
Dude nobody is "DHARMATMA" here. And don�t try to show that you are clean.
So please stop this non-sense and hating people who used LS. Just give your suggestion on post if anybody is looking for any suggestion. Otherwise just ignore it.
Thanks to all:)

Folks,
Let us focus on the rally and recapture of visa numbers. This more important to all than fighting out the LS issues and finding fault it is not our issue. If the LS guys gets rejects, they deserve it for not using their own Labor, and they a price for the same. Let us not beat them with a stick and focus on what can be done now.
Let us not build hatred against anyone, this can only undermine our efforts. You never know, heard FBI Checks are strict on LS folks, hope that is true, atleast genuine filers get it based on their PD, so be 2001 or 2002 as long as they are the original beneficiary.
Where is it mentioned that LC sub has been rejected ? I looked at the link and
I couldnt find any thing.

Much thanks for digesting all of this data and making sense of it all. I had no idea the quarterly spillover issue was making things worse in many cases.
Did you guys get a chance to look at data for Mexico by any chance? Since there is only a backlog for EB3 can one assume that things will improve in the next 2 years or will legislative relief be required for Mexico as well?
Again, outstanding job and thanks for helping us understand. How can I help you convince CIS tom make your recommendations happen?

Thank you very much Dinesh for this. Currently my spouse's passport is stuck in the same place for god-only-knows-what reason. The embassy staff said they are auditing every 2nd-3rd application. We have the AP but we were thinking that if we withdraw the H1B application, the embassy people might stamp the passport saying "Application Received" which sometimes can be a euphemism for "Visa Denied". I once got such a stamp when visa was denied to me.
Since we would then always have to keep explaining at every stage why we have that stamp, that's why we are sticking on with H1B delay. We have been given the same time-frames as you were.
When you withdrew your passport to travel on AP, did they stamp your passport with any text? Also could you please tell us the procedure you followed to withdraw your passport and whether you could collect it in person? We have been asked to email the US Embassy for withdrawing from our H1B application.
Thanks buddy.
When they told me about clearance and delay, they did not keep my passport, but gave it back to me at the same time and hence, I was able to travel. they, however, cancelled by previous visas. I never asked them to withdraw my H1 application.

The amount of lying and fraud that goes on in this process amazes. All under the cover of "legal"! There are compnaies doing this kind of utter crap and getting away with it.
I will tell you my story:
I am EB2. Physician now doing residency in Surgery. In Sept 2004 the University started my GC process and the lawyer went the full 9 yards.... to get my LC application in around the time PERM started. In fact my research job was on Monster.com for nearly a year. They weeded through so many applicants ( actually interviewed them!).
The program even paid my fees at 960 dollars a credit for PhD ( the plan was I get PhD as well and they would pay for it until I get Work permit). On H1B I could not be a full time PhD candidate. Thanks to retrogression I could not go ahead with that plan and the program spent thousands. I have had many presentations, papers both in the country and Europe.
I started residency so did my wife and we are waiting for this thing to work out. But we have seen so many of these "career GC applicants" jump the line and get ahead. If we are to argue about contributions made by Indians in science and technology how can we tyurn a blind eye to BS of this type. Where are hard working folks who play by the rules to go when peaple jump lines. It is bad as it is and gets worst by the day.
I dont want some half assed explanation that this is "legal". It ought to be stopped and that guy has to start at the back of the line. the full IV thing surprises me. They ought to take action on this .. atleast to prove they are serious about being honest and good and whatever else we claim to be.
thats all!!

Many of the job advertisements on DICE start with a restriction - US
citizen only, USC or GC only etc ... Only some of these advertisements
genuinely require a security clearance and hence applicable to US
citizens only. Rest of the advertisements are *** DISCRIMINATORY *** for
foreign nationals. Definitely this is a fertile ground for class action
suit by a competent attortney. Please ensure your clients follow the
law. Do not let law breakers post on your web site by coming up with
some point system and penalizing the offenders by removing their ad or
banning them after repeat offenses.
Please look at EEOC web site (specifically foreign nationals section) to

First of all congratulations on arriving at a mile stone. But obviously it is not end of the journey.
It is also not a time to say "thanks and good bye" to IV. Consider the fact that IV has done a lot for us, at least by making Congress aware of our plight and giving the anti immigrationist some run for their money and at times making their heartbit to skip. It is a different matter whether we got the law passed to address our problem, we may not have that much power; a simple fact is that we do not have voting power and Indian-American or Chinese-American community is not 100% behind us.
But in times like this at least members like you should not leave IV. Then those who have made the dates temporarily current to divide us have just achieved their goals. Anti immigrationist and the writers of the senate amnesty for illegal aliens bill would smile after reading your post. In fact you should announce a one time donation to IV to celebrate your milestone and pledge your continuing support to IV.
Thanks.
