my new attorneys said that there is a possibility to transfer PDs from approved LC only, rare but possible. Unfortunately I called DOL and they will not send me a copy of the ETA forms - the lady said only the attorney can request them. I dont think that my old employer will be using it as...

the attorneys said that after I-140 approval you can definitely port it, but they said that unofficially you can request for porting even after LC approval only. They have experienced this with a few (not many) cases, so what is there to lose by trying? do you know which number to call at DOL...

go to this link: http://www3.capwiz.com/c-span/issues...=110&size=full and look at Amendment 902, and in the next page look at its detailed status. It says "None". On the other hand if you look at detailed status of 904, it says withdrawn. So I think 902 has not yet been withdrawn yet

Hi sleepless, I am doing exactly what you did, with a small difference: I was working with Company A and on 8th yr extension with them. After 3 years my RIR labor did get approved. Just after that I recd an offer from Company B that was too good to pass up, (and also Company A was very slow in...

My employer got approval letter one week after online status showed "Certified". The letter said that Forms ETA were enclosed, and cc-d me on the letter, but I did not receive anything directly. anyone know the number to call at Philly DOL to request a copy of the Forms ETA?

are you sure that was the same amendment? I saw him talking at length about increasing green cards and H-1b visas, retaining US trained grads in STEM, fixing the immigration system, and also mentioned the skil bill by name. I heard him drop an amendment, but I think it might be another one...

assuming this amendment does pass, does this mean we have to wait for the entire underlying bill to pass, and then when would it actually go into effect? not trying to count chickens before they hatch, but nothing wrong with dreaming

If anyone can help with my questions below, would greatly appreciate it! I had an approved LC from my old employer (but they did not file I-140) and I recently changed jobs (too good an opportunity to pass up to wait for I-140). My new employer's attorneys are saying that if I can get a copy...

If your responsibilities are different, you should find prevailing wage for that position and compare, not compare to coworkers' salaries. Or you can try to find median wage within the industry, not within the company. If it is $15K lower than median wage, then lawyer is correct, it can be a...

what are the broader provisions in Skil that Hagel's bill does not have? Does Skil contain any controversial provisions, beyond the H-1b increases?

Matthew Oh's website also reported introduction of this bill, so it looks like it is real. The website also says that Sen Cornyn reintroduced the Skil bill: http://www.immigration-law.com/Canada.html 04/14/2007: Sen. Hagel Bill and Foreign Advanced Degree Holders in H-1B Nonimmigrant and Green...

on the other hand, so many bills relating to immigration have recently been introduced, and as far as I can see only Sen. Durbin's bill is even somewhat negative. Don't know how reliable Matthew Oh's website is, but they are reporting that Cornyn has reintroduced the Skil bill, and Hagel has...

check out the link in my previous post, apparently companies are doing this b/c of lottery system

the newest twist in this H-1b fiasco, since DHS has come up with the "brilliant" idea of a lottery system, is that companies are filing multiple H-1 applications for the same employee, to increase the odds of winning, due to a loophole in the law: http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/ any guesses...

since H-1b extensions are necessary for the worker to continue the current job, I dont think the govt can afford to insist on recruitment efforts for every extension. Also, employers will have an immediate stake in this, b'c if govt takes too long to process H-1s, the employee cannot work at...

yes, all iv core members try to announce some "news" by posting a link from iv. none of it is new, and their scare tactics and analysis has still not improved at all. if waldenpond really believes his crap why doesnt he get iv to lobby against this bill also?

if companies have to try to recruit US workers at H-1 stage, then labor certification essentially becomes redundant, so gc becomes a 2 step process. And since govt agencies cannot take as long to approve H-1 visas as DOL had been taking to approve labor certs, maybe this will become a blessing...

Finally! they are stating openly they will use random selection! Maybe now DOL will also admit they were using random selection for LC approvals all this time! :)

so what's going on with this bill? when is congress going to reconvene, and more importantly what's the calendar for this bill? anyone, anyone...
