    Visa Stamping Confusion ---> H4 to H1B

    I actually suggest talking to your lawyer. But I don't think you should have a problem.The difference in what other people are saying and in your case is that you are not applying for an H1 effectively immediately but with a starting date of October 1, 2006. So effectively till october 1, 2006...

    Thanks for everyone's feedback. Can someone also please provide feedback on my second question? Does VO look at the D-157 forms from previous visa appointment? In our case my wife didn't fill out her complete work experience when she came to US on H4. Now she is going for an H1 stamping and we...

    I have the same bad luck waiting for a labor certification for last 4 years. Is there any end to this? I am slowly getting tired of the moronic, bureaucratic process. I still don't understand what DOL is trying to evaluate by looking at an application 4 years old?

    Powerball or labor certification I think the probability of winning a power ball are higher than getting a labor certification approved from PBEC. Conclusion: Win a power ball and go back to the home country :D

    This assumption is baseless. First of all there is really no EB2 or EB3 at DOL. There used to RIR and Traditional. Secondly I know several people from VA with PD Feb 2002 who are still waiting to hear from the blackhole.

    Changing Job titles when LC is pending ??

    I had the same question few months back and I consulted several lawyers. I got almost the same answer from everyone. There shouldnt be a problem if the "job duties" are similar. As you said this is a grey area and no one can really tell you how USCIS will look at the new title when you file...

    I am just amazed that DOL/USCIS haven't revoked labor subsitution policy. The policy is not only unfair but causes so much fraud. I know so many people who applied in 2004 (3 years after me) using labor subsitution and got GC in 3 months. These are the people who used up all our numbers while we...

    She has already written about BEC horror stories. So did anything change? NO! We can check with her but I doubt that she will again write about it this soon. Why can't we bring charges against BEC/DOL management as a big group since we are not asking any one case to be approved. We are asking...

    This is a capitalist country and people only understand two languages - Money and Lawsuits. Since there is no lobbying, the only other push that we can give is lawsuit. Look how quickly DOL reversed its decision on single labor certification because of lobying by AILA. AILA doesn't care about...
