Great idea. Since our recent flowers also ended up at the veteran's hospital, maybe we should wear yellow ribbons in support of troops?
I am not sure if you are being facetious but I think that is a great idea! :)

You should be fine this will not affect your GC as long as you appear in court on time. Make sure your lawyer defends the case well.

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.
now that this is not a private issue anymore (you have taken the employer to the court and DOL) you can defenitely save some souls if you reveal your employer here. having said, wish everyone had courage like you. good job.

Here is what I have understood from my lawyers -
DOL decree, if adopted, will prevent any further labor substitution.
Any labor approved after the decree is adopted cannot be used for substitution.
Any 140 application based on labor sub will not be denied until USCIS adopts a similar resolution - it is unlikely that USCIS will do such a thing as it will lead to lawsuits from lawyers and folks already in the queue
People with already approved 140 do not need to worry at all.
I am laying down the facts here such that people can make educated decisions on what they want to do.

Come on folks, lets start the cleansing work - IV is our organization and lets help IV help us.
Just imagine $220 million as back wages in FY 2007 http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/statistics/200712.htm
This is a widespread problem.
I have gone through the procedure and trust me it is easier than filling out your own tax return or for that matter I-765. All it needs is very basic information about the employer. Moreover when the DOL audits the employer on the basis of a complaint they don't give out the name of the person filing the complaint. They go to the employer's place of employment and tell him to show all the records for all the employees for the last five (I guess) years and if they determine abuse then everybody who was not paid gets his wages.

My dear friend,
Congrats on your Canadian PR. I am sure, you will definitely do good there. I also agree with you that we are all here caught and dealing with this mess. Some of my friends moved to Canada because they could not deal with this immigration mess - they struggled initially but now well settled, have their own businesses, do a lot of things, have a big community, enjoy their weekends and really doing excellent in their life. So for you - when you go to Canada - things will definitely work out.
Now coming back to global migration and countries where people go - your view is very narrow and centric about Indian companies doing consultancy work. Global migration is common, every country has its policy on these things and we must be glad that in today's world we do have a choice.
For a lot of Tamils in Sri Lanka - migration has been the best optionn to survive. To people from different countries migration has been a boon.
For America in particular - Skilled immigration has been a very important part of immigration to keep the country competitive and make it the best nations in the world. Mathematicians, professors, researchers, teachers, cooks, doctors, nurses, therapists, engineers .... I can go on, Tell me what not - everyone come to America in their own channel - a process that has been created and being followed. Now, the big issue is about retrogression and how it is diffficult for imigrants - this is a known issue, but unfortunately the law was written long back and does not seem to fit well for today's world.
If people got their Green Cards through consuting companies, they did follow law - so lets not blame them. If you think it is unfair, you must work towards conveying your cause.
The good thing about organizations like IV is that it provides platform where people can voice their opinions and work towards a change - so there is no need to discourage people.
Good luck.

IV now has clout which should be immediately used for a permanent fix. Two issues which might not require laws being passed can be implemented to ease the backlog situation that will be created.
1. Recapture lost Visa numbers- A just and reasonable demand that they cannot refuse.
2. Remove per country cap- It is stupid to look for diversity in a category based on intellect. The whole category is created for improving America's brain power so a country cap does not make sense.
Which is better to say" We want 10 people with OK intellect from 10 different countries of the world" or " We want 10 absolutely brilliant people-period"
Supporting argument:
There is no country cap on H1/L1 work visa then why there is country cap for permanent residents.

Let's pick up where we left off before this July 2 visa bulletin debacle (and the resulting struggle). Though the whole fiasco did get us our first taste of success, imho, and as such isn't insignificant by any measure.
Jazz
Let us do that. Please!! We can't stop now. We need to fight to fix the broken system. Let's get ideas on what all we would like and suggest to core. I am sure they know already but it helps to know what everyone else is thinking, right?
1) I would like to get opinion from CORE if we need to support the SKIL bill that is being re-introduced by Senator John Cornyn
2) Need to have a way to re-capture visa numbers
What are the other things that we would like

For my situation discussed above, I took an infopass appointmnet at Baltimore and they couldn't offer a concrete answer since the case is pending with TSC. They asked me to reply to RFE asking for extension and provide supporting documents. I'm not sure if that would be accepted and results in denial of I-485.

We all can certainly do one thing, we can write emails, letters to editors and media talking about our personal situations, highlighting EB visa backlog and how that is hurting legal-tax paying aliens like us. We can raise awareness in the media and we can bring new members.
When something is asked of us, we should do that. Pappu asked everyone to write to the editors thanking them for the story about immigrant entreprenuers. Just yesterday, we had some people come forward and write to all these editors.
Myself and some other members even posted names and emails of all the editors that we should thank in the "news article thread". If all of us can go there and write emails and flood them with thank-you notes, we will get noticed. Remember the print media business is based on how many readers they have, we have to make them feel that this issue is very important and is getting them more readers and membership.

investing on IT?
are they just adding equipments or are they migrating to a new system? i hope they are not migrating so that they don't have to deal with the learning curve.
one of the Justification for Fee increase given by USCIS Director was for investing in hiring new personel and e-processing. I guess they will try to convert some of the applications to filed electronically , which would free up their resources , who will probably focus on backloggs
Offcourse this is my thought.:D

There are others who advised you about what to do so I am not adding to it. If you want to prevent this happening to others you can expose the company here and in other forums...
the worst idea ever.
first - probability that potential employee of that employer will read it is zero.
second - employer continues to act same way to other people.
third - employer can actually sue him for doing so.

I don't think I agree completely. I called all of the lawmakers for the CHC campaign, and while you are right, I spoke to the assistants, they were all polite and promised to pass on the message, which is what matters in the end.
Lawmakers know that we do not have voting privileges yet, but they also know that we are contributing to this economy far greater than many. I do not remember the source or the thread, but this question was asked before about an online petition, but ironically, that is shown to be not as effective as phone calls.
If you ask me to sign a piece of paper, I might do it even if I am only vaguely supportive of the idea. But I will certainly not take the trouble to call (or better yet) go to the senator/congressman's office and present my case in person unless I really beleive in it.
regarding your "saar.. support the bill..." comment, I would not go there if I were you. Thats a whole different can of worms and borders on an insult to a) people who are not from that part of India (or for that matter the world) and b) more importantly, for people from that part of the world who are in this country since a long time and have taken the pains to lose the accent.
Finally, even if one speaks in an accent, is that the sole reason for a lawmaker to disregard him? Then should a Tennessee senator not listen to someone from New York because the New yorker speaks English in a New York accent?
Please remember IV may be largely Indian, but it is a meeting place for legal immigrants from all over the world. The same way as India may be "largely Hindu" but it is still a secular country and we have had many great citizens and leaders that were not Hindu, the current president notwithstanding.

If we had stayed back in india, we don't have have to do any of these.:rolleyes::confused: . After GC also no freedom. As one of my american co-worker was telling, In America only the statue of liberty has the freedom.
The mistaken notion "GC = freedom" seems so pervasive that I am also tempted to take a whack at this much maligned equation. Lot of anguish can be spared by keeping our expectation from this 3" X 2" plastic somewhat grounded in reality. There is no denying that having GC makes life easier than before, specifically by opening up more job/career opportunities. But these have nothing to do with the constitutional freedom that you presumably allude to with your Statue of Liberty analogy (I should say though, as a metaphor this quote of your colleague is pretty lame). Not only GC does not give us the right to vote, it cannot even protect us from deportation risk on relatively minor legal grounds (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/12/us/12naturalize.html?_r=1). It is perhaps wise to remind ourselves that GC is a privilege (http://www.wr.org/media/pdf/immigrationassistance/permanentresident.pdf), not a right.
Here is the other thing I do not get. What is so hard to do in the list that raises such heckles of hair loss, back-in-good-ole-days-life-was-better, and whatnot? It is all about doing little day-to-day things such as maintaining documents (that you would do anyway), or carrying PR card in your (already bloated) wallet, and other mostly mundane stuff. I do not find this such a tortuous existence, despite being a lazy bum myself.
