How to locate companies with pre-approved labor

[freespirit_kamy]

Six years on my H1B is expiring in April 2006. Per forum I read here I know the only option I have is pre-approved labor. However, I am against the concept of pre-approved labor yet in desperate need to be able to stay in US after my H1B expires.

1. Please suggest how to serach for ligid companies who does labor substitue
2. When I find someone with pre-approved labor or pending labor(filed 365 daya before my h1b expires) What are the questions I should ask them to make sure that the process has no gotchas and that I will definitely get extension on my h1b beyong 6 years.
3. any ideas about how soon using pre-approved labor is going to be illegal?
4. If I get 7 year extension based on pending labor now, can I get 8th year extension even when labor substiture becomes illegal.

I have found a company which has a pending labor filed in Dec 2003 in Ohio which matched with my profile. I am curious to why that labor is still pending. Any suggestions?

million dollar question. a company is not legitimate if you came to know about them thru phony email or person who pose like employee in public forums. stay away if they require you to pay for that labor. get EVERYTHING in writing. if they dont respond to emails then avoid them for life.

making use of preapproved labor is never illegal unless legitimate. fraud companies have misused the current laws by altering the labor, using the same labor for many people and using it in exchange of monetary benefits. use of preapproved labor will vanish very shortly but will not affect pending petitions unless its serious fraud like altering or multiple beneficiaries.

4. If I get 7 year extension based on pending labor now, can I get 8th year extension even when labor substiture becomes illegal.
