Interesting comment on one of old BusinessWeek articles.It strongly highlights power an employer holds over H1-B employee.
http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/blog/bangaloretigers/archives/2006/11/us_software_tal.html
"'m not at all surprised that the first few comments on this post have been very skeptical of the skills shortage.
No matter how you feel about the alleged shortage, you have to acknowledge that the H1B gives the employer a remarkable amount of power over the employee's life. The employer bestows the right to live in the United States upon the employee, and often sponsers the employee's application for a green card. Changing employers is not impossible, but it is tricky and perilous.
As an American, I can quit my job and become a contractor. An H1B can't. If my girlfriend decides to move across the country for a new job, I can quit my old job and go with her. An H1B can't. If I decide I'm tired of programming, I can quit and apply to law school. An H1B can't. And, most importantly, if I think I'm talented and should earn well above market rate, I can go into my boss's office and negotiate with the knowledge that I'm free to find a better deal elsewhere. An H1B can't - unless, of course, he's willing to give up on his wait for a green card and return to his country of origin and start all over again.
While I'm not a protectionist in any way, I view the indenturedness of the H1B visa as an affront to everything America claims it believes about human and economic freedoms. No employer should ever have this kind of power over an employee.
Congress is perfectly capably of creating an employment category for foreign nationals that preserves freedom for the engineer who comes to America. They still haven't. Why? Well, the most likely explanation is that the corporations who lobby for this visa *enjoy* this power over engineers. And this, in turn, leads to work conditions that drive America's best and brightest away, into careers in law, medicine, finance, and so forth, exacerbating the very shortage that the visa was designed to address.
Unlike some of the posters here, I'm ok with the existence of skilled worker visas. But any increase should be off the table until basic human and economic freedoms are preserved for the worker. In America, you have the right to quit your job. Period. "

If you have been in the US for more than 1 year, you are a resident of the US and not any particular state in India. You are free to go to any Consulate in India. Even though I was previously a resident of AP, I have been able to get successful stamping in New Delhi.

1) As per the law, you and your husband both are supposed to leave the country the next day. But USCIS generally allows upto 30 days to leave. As per the law, he can not stay for a couple of weeks to look for another job. Both of you are supposed to leave the country.
2) Yes. You both will be out of status but you will not be accuring unlawful presence if your I-94 is valid. You will start accuring unlawful presence once the employer withdraws H1B petition. The unlawful presence is the one which will make your bar from the country for 3 years (after 180 days and under 1 year) or 10 years (more than a year).
3) No. It may not be a issue with GC processing. Under 245 rules, unlawful presence upto 180 days is allowed.
4) You have to submit your I-539 petition along with your husband's H1B petition. Your status is tied to your husband's status.

Hello all,
I am an Indian national currently in the AOS-pending state. My wife & I are looking to adopt a child either from India/US or a different country. From what I have found out, this seems to be a herculean task. Is this even possible? Has anyone successfully completed this process, or know of the details/steps involved. Any information is appreciated.
Thanks

I got my receipts last weekend
It was some what similar story for me.
I my case my wife's app and mine got separated-
Mine got rejected on grounds of incorrect fees (there was a single check)
my wifes app turned up after a month or so
we refiled and got the receipts
I am now trying to find out what to expect for EAD and AP
I wonder if special handling cases get a better turnaround
Keep me posted with what happens with you- and maybe we can start to geta n ide as to what to expect next

First thing is never give USCIS more than they have asked for.
Send them a letter stating that your previous attorney made a mistake and you have never applied GC before.
secondly since incomplete medicals are bound to have another RFE, there is no harm in sending them revised medicals and yes they have to be sealed from USCIS approved doctors.

I have ben working with employer A on an H1B ( even labor and I-140 approved, PD-April2009) and planning to apply for H1 transfer now through employer B.
After the transfer is approved for B, if I change my mind and decide to continue to work with curent employer A, can I do that ?
Thanks,
Kumar
You can continue your work with Employer A. Just ignore about B.

Thank you wandmaker. This helps.
- But can a person be unemployed before the 180 days elapse? What happens if person is unable to find a job before 180 days?
- Also, per your information - can the person find a new job, change H1s and then wait for 180 days to send in a letter to USCIS?
The whole GC process is based on future employment which your employer undertook to give you on your getting GC. If your employer (who let you go) is still committed to that, you are fine, but that is unlikely. Best is just do nothing until 180 days pass, except finding another employer (no problem if you are unemployed in between) who is prepared to offer you same/similar job. Once 180+ days pass, you are ok provided your I-140 was already approved or is approvable. You may want to read bulletins on the subject USCIS has issued time to time.
Yes, you can wait for 180 days before telling USCIS about your new same/similar job. You don't need to change H1, just use EAD.

I believe, USCIS website was updated on Sep 21st 2009.
My Priority date is Jun 2006 and applied in EB3 category.
I got an email on Sep 22nd 2009 from USCIS saying "Document mailed to applicant". When I see online status, it is "Document production or Oath Ceremony".
I called twice USCIS to confirm it. But they are saying "According to online status the document was already sent to your current address".
I am in a situation to beleive it or not? to celebrate it or not.... :-( .....
And one more thing is "I got EAD before my marriage and I haven't added my wife to I485"?
If I get GC, how to add my wife to GC? is it possible? what is her status right now?
Thanks in advance...

Thanks for the reply Ramo. But my question seems to be partially answered. I do understand what you have stated.
I have a degree that is equivalent to 4 years of education and is from the US.
Can you give me more information around the question that can I file H1B as an IT consultant with a Bachelors degree in healthcare?

Hi,
I have H1 that is valid till 2011 but when I entered using H1 ( I had EAD and AP also), the visa officer gave i-94 only till Jun 3rd 2009. I did not notice this error at that time. I realized this when my attorney pointed out this while applying for my new AP. The attorney suggested that I should go out of the country and re enter on EAD/AP and start working on EAD. What are my options ?
1) My EAD is valid till 2010
2) My current H1 is valid till 2011
3) My current AP is Valid till August 28 2009
4) My I-94 expired on June 3rd 2009.
5) My H1 visa stamp expired on May 2009
Should I go to Canada or Mexico and re-enter US with EAD/AP before my AP expires to start working on EAD and avoid any "out of status" issues ?
Does Canada Mexico ask for valid VISA and I-94 to get a visitor visa ?
Should I go to India(my home country) and re-enter US before my AP expires to keep my status ?
Appreciate a quick response as my AP is about to expire.

i think you needed two light sources for this, one coming in from the left to lessen or remove the shadows. Some more DOF? Yes and No depends on what you're after. Flwoers of this colour are so hard to photo IMHO. Reds and flowers always give me grief. I like this rendition of the colour.. Were you happy?
Yes, I'm happy with the shot in general. I don't like using flash, but didn't have a choice on this one. I was battling heavy clouds and a building wind. I think I'll go back and shoot it again if the blooms are still in decent shape and try a bit more DOF. I also wish I'd noticed that little leaf on the bottom left. I hate when you think you've studied the entire field of view and then miss one little thing.
Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
