FOIA should be the route.
I remember someone posting on the forum that they got all their information, right from Labor certification on a CD through FOIA.

Hi,

I am quite frustrated with my present situation. Here's my sad story:

I came to US on L1B Visa through company A. In 2010 Company B filed for my H1B. They asked me to pay half of the H1B filing money ($1500) which will be returned later. They sent me a document mentioning that as a training cost which I signed and paid them online $1500. I shouldn't have done this. My mistake. I was never given any training and money was not returned. :(

Company B also verbally committed to me that they'll be paying me roughly 80% of the client project contract amount which they will be getting from the client. They asked me to sigh the contract document with them which mentioned my salary way to less than expected. When I asked why the salary is mentioned too less here, they mentioned that don't worry about it. It is done to keep the agreement same as LCA filled. And I'll be getting what I was promised. the contract document also mentioned that if i leave the company within 1 year, I'll be paying liquidity damages to the company. This was big trap which I didn't understand that time and signed the document. This was my 2nd biggest mistake. :(

Now for last 5 months they are paying me at very lower rate (what was in the contract which is roughly 50% of client project contract amount). I called them on phone and they mentioned that they'll eventually release my salaries but they never released. I sent many emails that this is not what I should be getting as per the commitment given but they never replied to my emails. I mentioned in the emails cleary that what I should be getting. So now they haven't paid me almost $8,000 in last 5 months.

I am planning to quit the company B and join company C.

Here are my questions:

1) Is there any way I can complain legally about Company B and get my money? I have sent many emails that mentions what I should be getting. Does emails can be used in this case?

2) If I leave the company B and join company C. Can they drag me to the court to pay for liquidity damages since I left them within 1 year?

I moved to H1B thinking that I would have a better life but it has become way more worse. Please advise me what are the best suggestions for me in this situation. Thanks a lot. :)

Please help me !!

Regards.
Hrithik.

Hi:

I am currently using EAD. My I-485 is pending status. I am planning to get married in India soon. She will be in India as I can not bring her on H4 and student visa is difficult. So dilemma is about 485 name addition. Can I add spouse's name in I-485 application whenever Priority Date is current?

If yes, then how does it work? I mean is it possible at all?

It is going to be difficult. She has to come in on some kind of dual-intent visa. She could come in on a student visa but would be difficult to prove that she does not intend to immigrate in the interview if they find out about your I-485. Alternatively, you would have to get a H1 and she would have to come in on a H4.

This is not legal advice, please consult a lawyer for your specific case.

I never paid, cancelled my appointment before paying.

Was going to pay them just 2-3 days before the actual appointment.

Got it stamped in Mumbai, absolutely no hassel.

Here is some info on RFEs in general

How do I know which dates are currently available for H1B visa stamping?

i am trying to renew my passport, do we need to fill the form online and than submit it online or we have to print, instructions are confusing..pls help out

With the possiblity of the annual spillover coming up soon, wanted a quick poll to see the upcoming PD distribution within the IV community. EB2-India and waiting for adjudication only please (we can start another one for EB3-I & ROW)

I received a copy of I 485 Receipt Notice from my lawyer today. The priority date is empty in the receipt notice. Is this normal?

I think it means if you sent in your application then you can get a receipt by the date listed.
Atleast thats the interpretation I got from it.

Hi All,

I got my COS from H4 to F1 approved in first semester itself (Fed-2010), now my questions is I don�t have plans for going to India in next couple of years so after completing my masters can I apply for OPT without having the F1 Visa stamping OR should I have to get F1 Visa stamping in India in order to get the OPT after my masters.

Hello experts,
Here is a situation of my friend .
1.He lost his and his wife's passport alongwith the receipt notices and FP notice.The current visa which has expired and I-94 is also lost.

If he is in states then he can apply for new passport .For FP Notice he can just walk in to office get FP done on that day provided he has copy or A number with him .
Apply for duplicate copy of H1B approval ,I think it cost @ 200 - 300 $
2.The lost passport includes the old passport with old visa in it.

Get duplicate copy of h1b and go outside usa and get visa stamp on new passport.
Can you please throw some light as to what are his options.

Thanks & Regards

Just my 2 cents...

Advance Parole is not a valid document to obtain Driving License...

thanks for your quick reply.

What about using AP for status check? Will they accept that?

Gurus, business in my company is getting really slow and everyone is saying that some sort of lay-off is imminent. Although I am actively looking for new job, I find that the timing issue is hard to deal with.

My question is that: in the event of lay-off or firing and I don't have a new job lined up for me, do i have some "buffer" time to keep searching and landing for a job? Or do I immediately loose status?

I remember I read some guidances on this in this forum, and will be grateful if someone can point me to the right thread.

Thanks,

I called after about 3 weeks just to check status.

My PD is April-2002 and I really need to go back home in December but I don't want to use AP for that, so I am hoping I will hear something by the end of this year.

:confused: Hello All,

I am preparing documents to send to my parents for Visitors Visa.
My Question: If lets say my parents go to the US Embassy sometime in March and if their visa get stamped for lets say for 2 months. When that 2 months time start? is it going to start from the day their visa got stamped or when they get I-94 card at US airport?

Thanks for your advice in advance.

For EAD eFiling you do not need any docs check the website below they will send a Biometric & photo appointment at local ASC, cool ........

If I paper file for my renewal, will there be a biometric appointment at an ASC?

so, far only one person has sent a pm to me.
if, there are anymore persons affected by retrogression please do email /pm me asap.

My company applied my GC is EB3. I am on H1b and has close to 15 months of my visa.
I am currently in 5th year of My h1. I have 140 approved and I want to change my job due to my financial burdens..

q: Can i change job after getting 3 more years of extension? I meant, Can I transfer the H1 which was applied with 140 after 6 years of stay? Is there a possibility that current employer can do any thing?

Also, can i port the current priority date of green card and apply a new one in Eb2 future?

q: Based on the current labor and 140 waiting time, can 15 months will be enough to change the job and apply a green card and get labor & 140 approved?

if you faced similar situation or having information, can you pass me the same. Thanks a ton.
