Employer is the one who is sponsoring you for their benefit. The employer has to take all chargers related to the H1-B including bringing you in from another country if they have to. Remember H1-B is a special category of visa for employment because they cannot find the skills in this country. This is what was told to me by an attorney of a “Very Big” company in the USA when they tried to hire me some time back.
At some point people started getting these so called “Convenient H1 Visa’s” (you know what I mean) and since it was for the benefit of the employee they paid for it and looks like now the employers are taking advantage of that.

New York 2001 cases
New York state transferred cases are the oldest cases along with Maryland. Some Oct 2001 and Nov 2001 have received 45 day letter back in March. No progress has been made since then.
If FIFO is to be followed, which I believe it will be, NY 2001 cases have very good chance to be processed in year 2005. The KEY is to draw their attention to the NY cases...

unavailability of visa numbers in the Employment-Based 3rd Preference (EB3) category
I think I'm screwed!!
Have you seen this info on Murthy.com? Can anyone explain it to me?
The U.S. Department of State (DOS) July 2005 Visa Bulletin, issued June 13, 2005, reflects unavailability of visa numbers in the Employment-Based 3rd Preference (EB3) category for all countries of chargeability. This means everyone in EB3, no matter one's country of origin or priority date, is impacted by this development. The exception, where there is availability of visa numbers, is for the subcategory of Schedule A workers, which includes nurses and physical therapists

Did not receive anything yet. Lawyer does not have any clue and does not seem very hopeful. One of my colleagues got approval for his Nov,2001 application.

Waiting in Anticipation
My PD is Sept 01. No letter, no reply to the status request on the email addresses being provided earlier. The lawyer is blank on the status and does not know what to suggest. I guess it is like waiting and not knowing till when. Does this sound frustrating to any...
If I have the case number is there a way to check on the status??????
Post your responses and lets share the pain n wait.
Good Luck

don't ask what others have done for U
do it yourself. I have sent complain to Elaine Chao, but not NY Senator, I dislike Shumer and Hilary, don't expect them to do anything helpful. Will update here as soon as I hear back from Chao.
New York is singled out from Phily DOL backlog center for slow processing because of lack of voice/complain from New York. Even though NY is the most backlogged state. New Jersey is doing a better job, now you see 45 day letters for NJ.
