Most companies that hire H1b workers or sponsor F1/OPT status workers for first-time H1 either have a law-firm deal all their immigration cases or an outside lawyer. Some of the big companies have a full-time in-house counsel.
Some employers who rarely hire professionals in need of H1b may not be aware of process and may ask you to look for lawyer to do it for them. The H1B petition is filed by employer. However, employee can certainly help with it. Legally, the employer cannot charge the employee for USCIS fees or lawyer's fees. However, you can hire your own lawyer to help you with your questions and answers(if you hire your own lawyer, you can be comfortable with all advise he gives you, since he would have your best interest in mind as you would be the client). However, to file a petition of H1, your employer should be paying the lawyer(either your lawyer or their lawyer).
Filing for H1B petition requires a fixed set of documents and its simple to do if you have time to do a little research. Many employees help their employers and together, they do it themselves without the help of lawyer, therby saving money. An average lawyer would charge 1000 dollars in fees for filing the petition. For USCIS fees, please look up their website.
There are H1 specific forums on www.immigrationportal.com which would have more details.
Thanks.

From Business Week: A report released on Tuesday makes the case that increased immigration is not a cause of increased unemployment in the U.S. The study, �The Unemployment Disconnect: Untying the Knot,� was issued by the Immigration Policy Center, the research arm of the American Immigration Law Foundation, an association of immigration lawyers that generally supports pro-immigration policies. The study sets out with the assertion that if immigrants are taking jobs away from native-born workers, �one would expect to find high unemployment rates in those parts of the country with large numbers of immigrants.� Examining state, county, and metropolitan area...

I think Canada is much better option . It's cheaper and convenient. I have heard many success stories of H1 stamping in Canada
I've an appointment in October at Munich, Germany consulate for H1B stamping. Because of time constraints I decided to get the stamping done when I'm out there for work. I've already obtained the german visa (though had to provide plenty of explanation !). This is my 9th yr extn (MS, EB2 - 140 approved)
- Can anyone share their experience at the Munich consulate?
- or, should I plan going to Canada and trying rather taking the risk in Germany?
thanks,

Tourist visa is for tourism purpose only. You want advice to misuse the visa ?. 10 year multiple entry visa can be used number of times. But she stays more (like 6 month max) for each visit, after 2 such visit, within a small gap say 2-6 months, there is a chancce to blacklist her and may be allow for 1-2 months I-94, or deny her entry. They are smart to see the intension of people. They look for the pattern of visit.

You have to withdraw old LC while filing the PERM hence prepartion can be parallel. It is better for you to file PERM ( you get it in 50 days or earlier) & get 140 ( 2 months after LC) & therefater apply for 3 years H! B extn.
You will not have to go through H1B circus, if you & others support IV & atleast generate $$ which is really driving our effort other than core members.
Best of luck

Hi All,
I applied for Labor in EB2 category in Oct 2007. It was pending for 2 yrs and 2 days back my employer mentioned that they see my Labor status as denied and that they have not received any denial letter yet.
My H1 will expire in early Jan 2011, so I practically have around 365 days from now to apply for a new Labor. My questions are
1. Should I re-appeal?
2. Do Labors get approved in re-appeal?
3. Can I start a new Labor application with the same employer simultaneously?
4. What�s a safe category to apply at this point in time. EB2 or EB3?
Thanks

It's hard to answer your question without more details, such as your current status. Company B can definitely file a new H-1B for you. Your current status will dictate whether you "need" to tell them about the earlier filing. However, having a prior petition filed might not have any negative impact, so you probably don't need to be nervous about telling Co. B.

In my opinion,
Once a person starts working on EAD, his H1 status becomes void. I have read in forum that people still switch from EAD to H1, but I am not entirely sure on that one.
But here is what your friend need to do:

I think I am missing something here. Can't you use the level3 wage listed on your link?
Flcdatacenter mentions that one reason for NA jobzone is that you mentioned a very broad occupation.
Would you be able to use:
http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesQuickResults.aspx?area=45300&code=15-1031&year=9&source=1
or
http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesQuickResults.aspx?area=45300&code=15-1021&year=9&source=1
so what do we do now..How can we get the accurate wage
http://www.flcdatacenter.com/OesQuickResults.aspx?code=15-1034&area=45300&year=9&source=2
if we go there the jobzone is NA and hence the salary cannot be accurately determined hence by rule just out level 1 wage
O*Net™ JobZone: NA

Your total withholding is $1400 or your difference with using 3 allowance or 6 allowance is $1400. Assuming you are talking about total. Your difference should be 300-400 a month. I am not justifying your companies attitude nor I am asking you to not take any action. But all I am telling you is it's not a big deal..personally I feel better when I get a chunk of money in Tax refund. But for that I have to wait one full year and deductions are $1400 more per month.

thanks for the quick response.
SO, lets say my company applies for me to h1b cap sometime after october 1, if by chance the cap is reached by the time we apply, and if my application gets rejected for this reason, am I still be eligible to apply and re-do everything for next year? if the cap is reached by late october or november lets say and if i get rejected for this, then can I do all this again on april 1 2011.
thanks a lot!

Hi,
I have changed my employer A last year and received new I-797. However, my employer A did not applied for my wife's extension in 2006.
Now i have changed my employer to B, one week before Employer B has applied for my I-129 and my wife's I-539 extension, which is in pending state now.
My I-94 has been already extended to Sept-2009 with employer A. However my wife's I-94 is going to expire on Oct 5 2007.
Que. My wife has to travel to India on 1st Oct 2007 (before her I-94 expiry date). Can she travel to India as her I-539 (extension to I-94) is in pending state.
Appreciate your replies. Thanks so much.

hey guys,
i send in my i-140/i485 along with those for my wife. as luck will have it, I forgot to include her sealed i-693. i am planning to send it tomorrow with a cover letter. is that okay? is there anything else I can do?
I will appreciate any help.
thanks

Only send it after you get a receipt notice....Else, I am sure it will get lost....USCIS has said in its latest FAQs that it will not reject the 485 packet if it doesnt inlcude the medicals....So wait till you get a receipt notice and send it with a copy of the receipt...

Hi,
I am on L1 B (Individual) Visa since last three years. In January my company filed for extension, this time on L1 (Blanket). I received RFE in March, which my company replied in April. A couple days before the attorney called us mentioning the petition has been denied and I am awaiting final documentation.
Here are facts:
I am Senior Product Manager with Bachelor's in Computer Science and around 8 years of Experience working with the same Company. 5 years(India Subsidiary) and 3 Years US HQ.
We did mentioned in our RFE that I have the sole knowledge of two products that I represent and that with other things to convince USCIS.
My company is open and willing to appeal against the decision.
Questions: Could it be a reason that Attorney couldn't represent my case well and in that case should I reconsider other Attorney who is specialized in L1 process.
-Can appeal process buy me some time and should I start my H1B process simultaneously?
If yes, is that something which I can do legally.
-How much time can appeal process buy, is it two months, 4 months, 6 months ??
- My wife is on H1 and I do have 10 years B1 visa on my passport. Given those circumstances I do understant that my options for legally staying in US are open but I really want to avoid compromising options and save current working status.
I have been thinking-thinking a lot during last couple days and thus Any help and directions would be appreciated.
Regards,
Manu
