I have worked many times, after sending the courier. Just have the documentary proof of payment and fedex receipt. That is SUFFICIENT.
BTW: One tip I have for u guys, is to pay the H1B fees with your personal cheque, and that way, whence the cheque gets cashed by USCIS, you immediately have the receipt and furthermore, USCIS would put your EAC number on the cheque, whilst deposting it, hence u have three benefits, when u pay with your cheque.
- u know when USCIS cashed the cheque
- ur middleman can NOT fool you, since u know, exactly when the app is filed and money collected by USCIS.
- u have the receipt # (which is also ur EAC number) the moment the cheque is deposited.
This is common sense, tactic to keep urself informed and enabled, always.

I guess using your personal check would depend on the size and reputation of the company filing for you. Might probably work with a small firm but I doubt if you can do that with a big company.

Isn't it the job of the lawyer to review the resumes submitted and build a case to say why you are the best fit for this position? I am sure that's what the DOLis looking for as well - i.e. that the companies are following the protocol of advertising the position correctly and reviewing the resumes of candidates who apply. I think it will be a red flag if you don't show any resumes at this time esp. when the unemployment is so high as opposed to showing other resumes submitted.
Rule of thumb, lawyers are not supposed to be part of recruitment process, it should be the job of HR. Lwayer can advise based on evaluation completed by HR.:mad:

That's the most disgusting speech I have ever seen, how could he just count the amount of resource immigrants are going to use without considersing how much the economy was bloomed by immigrants?! How could he pretend the immigration policy is a favor to third world contries? The immigration policy had attracted millions of scientists and engineers and hard workers to US, US needs these brians and labors, immigrants need a place to work, that's a simple reciprocal thing, it is shameless and arrogant to say it is a favor to third world contries.

Lou Dobbs, can bad mouth enough on Labour sub to help the EB Retro cause...! this can be handy - so that all those short cut takers can ve short circuited :D
And the government knows about it. The arrest of Nick Mandalapa who was seeling labors openly on Sulekha and now the introduction of the rule banning labor subs is a step in the right direction.
I do realize that there will be a ton of substitution happening from now until April 13th, but I am optimistic that the folks approving these would be keeping an eye on this and will most likely reject the application.
Unfortunately the greedy will still take the risk and make the immigration lawyers wealthier. I am not sure letting Lou know about this would help us in the long run. Knowing him, he'll start portraying it as every H1B holder does this!

Obama wants to begin work on immigration reform (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/05/AR2010050504563.html)
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama said Wednesday he wants to begin work this year on legislation overhauling the nation's immigration system, firming up his commitment on a key priority for Latino voters and lawmakers.
Obama's comments at a Cinco de Mayo celebration at the White House reaffirmed his long-held support for immigration reform. He went a step further than he has in the past by calling for the work to begin this year.
Latino groups have been calling for Obama to deliver on his campaign promise of making immigration reform a top priority, with some activists and lawmakers in the Congressional Hispanic Caucus complaining he wasn't doing enough.
Obama clouded the issue last week by saying "there may not be an appetite" in Congress to deal with another hot-button issue immediately after grueling fights over health care and financial regulation.
There also may not be enough time left on the legislative calendar to take up a contentious issue with midterm elections looming in November, but by making the commitment Obama may at least be able to tell Hispanic groups he tried.
Obama acknowledged immigration reform would be difficult to achieve and would require bipartisan support - something that's lacking in the Senate right now. And he made no commitment to finishing the process this year.
But he said it was the only way to deal with the nation's immigration problems.
"The way to fix our broken immigration system is through common-sense comprehensive immigration reform," the president said.
"I want to begin work this year and I want Democrats and Republicans to work with me."

Obama again denounced the law passed in Arizona that allows police to require people to prove they're in this country legally. He said federal officials were monitoring it for possible civil rights violations.
If President Barack Obama had said Wednesday, "he wants to pass this year a legislation overhauling the nation's immigration system", would have had more impact that saying "he wants to begin work this year on legislation overhauling the nation's immigration system".. So he just want to begin this year !!! ? :confused::confused::confused::confused:

Situation:
-----------
Employer asks employee to sign an agreement before filing PERM. Per the agreement, if the employee resigns between the day it is signed and till one year after Green Card (yes, the real green card) is issued, then the employee has to pay back the legal fees incurred by the employer.
Question:
-----------
What is the legal basis for such an agreement? If the employee really resigns during that period and matter goes to the court of law, what might be the possible direction?
Does IV has an stand on such situations?
Thank you. Regards,
Arun
You should negotiate with your employer. It is OK to discuss with your HR and tell them that currently it is taking several years for obtaining a GC. In some cases it may even end up in decades. You can tell your GC sponsoring employer that you are willing to sign an agreement that has a definate period, say 3 years. Make sure your manager feels that your request is reasonable and take him/her along to meet the HR and discuss.
As far as i know it is considered normal for someone to change jobs in 3-4 years and move on. Offcourse, i do not mean you tell your HR but it is implied.

Good to see you are still around. I like your signature, it looks very similar to mine :)
Lets work together and do something to reduce the citizenship wait time (atleast we can give it a try).

Congrats for getting your GC.
Getting GC does not mean you can undermine anyone's efforts.
i will say it again, take your GC to whereever u want to take, but stop posting negative messages against a very motivated member.
I hope you get it.
I am scared of your power.:cool:

Let me be first one here to speak on behalf of that unborn child!
First, even in best of the cases, travel so late in term is not preferred!
Secondly, primary reason behind these trips generally is to get support from parents, luckily(just from support POV) your husband is at home, he can help around, you are living in best country to have kid in, At worst, get a temperory insurance if you don't have one currently..
Another point to see is, lets say baby is born in India, Since you've applied for GC here, and chances are you will get in next couple of yrs. so if you've made your mind to settle here, won't it be in the best interests of your child to be natural born native??
And most importantly, since both of you are on EAD (or on h1 without recent paystubs which is even worse) you are inviting world of headache should you end up delivering in India..
So all in all.. once again.. if you want to go.. go sooner and come back sooner.. to minimize your chances of delivery in India..

Just heard from some wonderful people in the HR that in their opinion, I cannot get payed till they have my H1B extension approval in hand! Of course, the same wonderful HR people waited till the VERY LAST DAY to file the extension! So I have to wait for 2-3 months to get paid, even though I reminded them 2-3 months back to get started on my renewal?
I am soooo done with this country and its semi-educated, inefficient and ignorant bureaucracy and its blood-sucking, greedy, exploitative employers.
The USPS won't forward my mail to my new address correctly after they send me the receipt for my change of address form!
The SSA loses my new-born son's social security card!
Something is going terribly wrong with this country.
I think we had a much better quality of service in India even 10 years back.
On April 24th, I will watch the senate proceedings for one day and decide whether I should go back.
It is morally and legally wrong! As others have mentioned, you cannot be denied salary - you are in legal status!
But, I agree with your frustration - certain parts of this country can just be nuts!

pmpforgc,
I am in the same situation. Filed concurrent I-140 and I-485 (Schedule A Group 2..exceptional ability in the arts and science) ... receipt date of August 7th. No news as yet. Are you sure sure it is EB 2? I assumed it was EB-3.
In the meanwhile I have a labor cert as well- PD August 2004 and am planning to file I-140 (EB2) with that as well. I've asked my lawyer about doing premium processing..but I do not know if Schedule A I-140 can be premium processed.
Yep, my spouse has EAD and AP and like you, I decided to use my H-1b, so didn't apply for EAD and AP.
thanks,
bluekayal
