That's nice to hear. Can he guess what would be the likely outcome? If the judge just takes USCIS/DOS to task then it doesn't help us.
1. Will they make the July visa bulletin current again?
2. If not, will they allow everyone to file for EAD and AP?
3. If neither #1 nor #2, will there be any financial reimbursement?
Regards,
Jayant
It gets interesting. Doesn't it? Even if the court agrees that this is a fiasco and would like to compensate the beneficiaries by allowing us to file for 485, it would be in direct violation of the law that " there must be a number available on the day of filing ".We don't have any numbers. Do we? My point is, will a judicial system go out of the box and allow us to file when there are no visa numbers available? The only way is get numbers and make every one file and the only way for that is to undo what the USCIS has done in the last 2 weeks of June. Just my thoughts. I am ready to take anything positive out of this because I have least hopes pegged on the law suit.

Agreed that H-1B has a fixed date. But from the employer standpoint, you're their "full-time, permanent" employee on H-1B, right? Because Future GC job could be same job on H-1B, only difference being on H-1B your job has fixed end date (noted by I-94), and GC job has no fixed end date, hence permanent. It does not make that current job on H-1B permanent.
Temp Job and Permannet Job can have same job title and job duties. Just like contract job and full-time job can have same job title and job duties, but one is employee of the company and other one is not.

I forgot to say that I am going full speed ahead and staying the course.
I am doing the following even if there are 0 takers.
Educate lawmakers about retorgression.
Prioritize interim options based on controversial factor. Some forum posts have good ideas.
Start right now. I don't know how to enjoy holidays without any hope.
I don't understand all the issues (like EAD). In order to proceed, I am trying to understand (= validate + document) the
process and platform (senate/congress) on which retrogression will be addressed.
process and platform on which interim measure can be introduced.
effect of each interim measure.

Hi,
This is for my wife's first time EAD.
Category: EB2, TSC
Priority Date: June 20, 2006
I-485 filing date: July 17th, 2007
Paper based EAD application Received date: Aug 8th, 2008
LUD : Aug 12th, 2008
Card Production Ordered : Aug 16th, 2008
That was pretty quick.
Funny part is, I haven't received receipt notice yet.

Congratulations !! Wish there was a "welcome kit" buddy ... but all you will receive is an I-797 ...welcome notice :)
All:
I received an email on 8-8 saying card production ordered and on 8-9 about the welcome kit.
My PD is April 2 2004 EB2 (US educated for the idiot who tried to divide us b/w US and non US educated)
As a token of appreciation - I have contributed $100 to IV just now.Receipt ID: 1467-8132-5592-9911. Request all of those who get GC this month to contribute some $ amount. Although I was not very active in the forums I have contributed at least $400 to this cause and I will do the same in the future. Please do not try to divide b/w EB3 EB2 US educated etc. which I am noticing lately.
WE REALLY NEED TO HELP OUR EB3 FRIENDS. PLEASE CONTRUBUTE ONCE IN AN YEAR ATLEAST. I HAVE NOTICED THE MOMENT THEY GET GC THEY FORGET THE PAST DIFFICULTIES AND MOVE ON WHICH IS FINE. BUT IF POSSIBLE CONTRIBUTE ONCE IN AN YEAR.

any one who tells to be cautious is a desi employer or a silent partner. Any one wonder to ask the thread starter
why in the beginning he chose a desi employer and signed a non-compete clause?
why did not get his H-1 done with PF?
every one( desi employer and h-1b employee) have weaknesses and strong points.
H-1B program is the nastiest and problematic for employer and also for the employee. There is a reason lot of american born owned consulting business dont do H-1s. Big over head on the employer. Accounting complexity and hard to follow H-1b and dol rules.
I am not even talking immigration process and family problems H-1bs go through. Desi employers take the risk of doing h-1s and and 90% of them dont even grow beyond 50 people and there is constant battle of retaining H-1 b employees at the same time making profit.
I thought of starting a desi consulting firm and realised it is a lot of pain.
Desi employee
1. wants 80% and may be 90%
2. bare h-1 cost
3. bare gc cost
4. bare insurance cost
5. pay salary on time
6. pay umemp, ss taxes
in addition to the time employer has to spend time to do all the above tasks.
end of the day its not even worth running desi consulting business unless we make atleast 15-20% of the revenue.
end of the day....desi employers have to face the brunt of american born workers and dol that desi employers run poor hiring practices and poor EEO practices and not only that desi employers run down the billing rates.
it is a vicious cycle. desi employees want to work for low billing rates because of their necessity and in turn run down profits of the employers this in turn make both the employee and employer unhappy.
how can a guy with 5 years experience in SAP is ready to work for 60$? LOL.
every knows how the game is played.
another important point employees want the employer run the payroll while they are on bench so that their H-1B status does not mess up. How can an employer run payroll when the employer makes 5-7% profit? LOL.
another one..... employee wants 80% but cannot wait until the client he is working for pays for his services to the employer. employee wants that 80% percent on time. LOL
another one h-1b employees want to cut lines to gc faster. they are ready pay large sums to money to employer to buy earlier PD.
I was H-1b 3 weeks ago. I stayed with my employer for 6 years and still working. and I also know h-1 b is a really bad visa for an employee too.
Ideally USA should give work visas based on individual's merit like an OPT/EAD for 6 years instead of H-1.

Guys one more perspective:
1) Employers are not in the business of litigations. Their business is to run the company. If you or the employers are talking lawsuits then one of you have crossed a red line. It is just that. No sensible person goes to the court knowing he has done wrong. I doubt an employer wants lawsuits. Just like you feel threatened by lawsuits, your employer also feels threatened by lawsuits.
2) Surabhi - nothing personal, but your post reflect how the ideal world should be. However world is not your way always.
3) I agree with acquarian, that it is very stressful if employer threatens to sue you. Also attorneys will charge you $200/ per hr. If someone is saying that attorneys recover money later etc, I say chill. Most attorneys would not do that. They like hourly rates. Its very difficuilt to find an attorney for free unless your case is slam dunk.
Why I suggested he apologize? Be humble. I did not say admit your mistake. I just said aplogize for employers grievance. If two simple words "I apologize" can get your job done, why waste time in attorneys court, etc?
Based on my past experience, I am telling you, you never know when you will need a past employer. You will not need your past client, I have been at atleast 10 client sites, I never needed a past client for something, but I always had to go back to my employers for something. They are like ex GFs or ex spouses and leaving a job is like divorce.
Where you will need your employer? When USCIS sends you an RFE to prove employment experience with XXX company. There is nothing in the law that forces employers to give you an experience letter unless he fired you. Now try getting a court order in 90 days to meet your RFE deadline
When you get a job in fortune 500 company or better opportunity after your GC, your future employer will want to talk to all employers in ur history. Ready for that? Want to give the number now or want to let the job go?
Thats why I am saying DO NOT fight with ex employers. You will get hurt more than the employer. Your ex boss is not a bad guy, he knows you are leaving for better opportunity. Since he remembers what you have done for him, a few kind words will solve the matter.
I needed one such reference in my past, I called and apologized to my former boss because if I didnt, he would not cooperate and nor I had time for years worth of lawsuits. It took about a month, but the matter was settled in my favour.
Tell me what wrong he did for him to apologize and I will apologize to you. When nothing is permanent he worked with them for 1 and half years, he got them 4 employees. Why in the world should he apologize?.
When you say that you will not need your clients you are wrong. when I was searching for projects I got a chance to apply to a job opening in one of my previous client, guess what, the start to my second stint was smooth just because I had a good rapport with my client and they liked my work. I even got one of my team mates in my client place to give me a referral for my higher studies.
"Your ex boss is not a bad guy, he knows you are leaving for better opportunity".He is not only a bad guy, he is evil IF (note the big IF) he is keeping the money which is not his. Their conscience should prick when they feed and give excellent education to their kids with the ill gotten money.
Unfortunately one might need his ex-employer in future (might not always be the case) and that is the irony of it all.
