The H-2B program is critically important for many businesses that have difficulty finding U.S. workers to fill temporary jobs. This is particularly true in seasonal industries. Comments from H-2B employers attest to the need for foreign workers in physically demanding seasonal jobs, often in remote locations, that many U.S. workers will not take.
The H-2B nonimmigrant visa (http://www.h1b.biz/lawyer-attorney-1137785.html) program permits employers to hire foreign workers to come to the U.S. and perform temporary nonagricultural work, which may be one-time, seasonal, peak load or intermittent and there are no qualified and willing U.S. workers available for the job. Note that this visa is not available for "temporary" agencies or other work placement agencies.
In order to learn more about employers� perceptions of the H-2B program, ImmigrationWorks USA and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce conducted a survey: five short questions distributed among H-2B employers in July and August 2010. The survey asked how many H-2B workers the company had hired in the last three years and what types of jobs those workers held. It included two open-ended questions about the benefits of using the program and asked what if any problems employers had experienced.
Another open-ended question asked what employers would do if they were not able to hire H-2B workers. Participation was voluntary, and results could be submitted via email, fax or the internet. A total of 367 employers responded. The majority of H-2B employers who responded to the survey noted that temporary foreign workers are reliable and hard-working. Many also praised these workers� productivity: a benefit that offsets the cost of bringing them into the United States. Respondents appreciated that H-2B workers were willing to work seasonal jobs and then return home when the season ended.
Important benefit of the program is that it offers companies a way to hire foreign workers when U.S. labor markets tighten. The program increases labor market flexibility by allowing businesses to bring in foreign workers when U.S. workers move up to better, higher-paying jobs during economic expansions.

If yes then you should be fine but with or without original 797 and no stamping in passport it will be difficult to get into USA. Unless you have AP to get back into USA. Hope this help. Good luck for your travel tomorrow.
Hi,
I just checked all immigration documents and found that original I797 (H1b approval) is missing. I have a copy but not original. We are travelling to India tomorrow. Is it must that we need to have original I797 at POE or is a copy ok. Appreciate if you could please let us know about this as soon as possible.
Thank you so much.

My I-485/I-140 were filed on Jul 2, 2008 (I-140 approved in 9/2007). I possess an EAD valid till Sep 2010 and AP valid till Aug 2009. I lost my job (H1B) in late January. I have a family emergency compelling me to travel to India for a week (starting Saturday next week 04/04/2009). Will there be any problem in terms of using my AP to re-enter the U.S? An early reply would be appreciated. Thank You very much in advance.
P.S: I do not have a job yet.
If you list your skillset maybe someone would be able to help you as soon as you return. By the way, most of the members knows a tons of rectruiters and websites.Maybe in the worst case you can tell that you are going to be interviewed by some firms

Hi All,
Please help me to take proper decision.
I am working in US on H1B visa and my employer is ready to file for my GC in EB2.
Secondly, my father is a Green card holder and can apply for citizenship in early 2010. I have following questions:
Please note I am unmarried
1. If my father applies for GC for me under F2B can it be converted to F1 when he becomes citizen? if so, will the priority date be same or it will be new once converted to F1 category.
2. Can I apply for both family based and employment based in parallel? if it is not possible which path should I select? Will the employment based GC will be faster of family based? Its tough to decide in this economic times as we dont know how long our job will last.
Would appreciate your help and suggessions.
Thanks,
Sam

For TC, if you are a AAA member, you can buy AMEX TC from AAA fee free.
Also, you get better exchange rates in India with TC.

Good to know i can file a new H1 based on 140 irrespective of who filed 140 and i am in H status or not. This way i don't need to be always tensed about a possible RFE on 485.
Hi Vikram -
Since your H-1B transfer petition is denied, you are not in H1 status anymore. However, I would suggest consider applying for 3 year H1 based on approved I-140 (and PD is not current). It does not matter who applied for that I-140.
There is a chance that USCIS may approve this H1 without I-94. In that case, you need to get new visa stamp and reenter into US to get back into H-1B status.
Good Luck.

Hi All,
I am planning to paper file my wife's EAD renewal and AP for both me and my wife.
Questions:-
1. Can anyone who paper filed recently post information on filing EAD/AP
2. Since my wife filed for I-485 last year and paid $1010 fees,she falls under FEE WAIVER for both EAD and AP-I believe she can renew EAD/AP unlimited till she gets GC?
3. Can someone post what did they do additional for filing as FEE WAIVER?
Any detailed steps on paper filing with FEE WAIVER would be great.
Thanks in advance for your replies.
Regards,
everonh1

In the interview letter I received they did ask for Medical but it also mentioned I could attend even if I do not have it. After attending the interview it did feel like that was the reason why they called us - they wanted my wife to go throught her medical again.
Sorry I'm not sure of I684(Affidavit of Support). They did not ask me for it.

I feel he will not ignore legal immigrants. There will be action for sure, as it appears. We should take this as positive when he says +ve about H1B. If he said something bad, then thats bad also for others.

No you cannot . You can only teach Math at this time.
Is ESL offer from the same school that sponsored you for math H1?
If it is, then ask your lawyer if the school can do some paperwork so that ESL can be added to your approved H1 .

Hi Sri,
Don't panic. This is NOT the end of your immigration journey. You are covered by AC-21, so if you find a job in a similar occupation with another employer, you can certainly take it. Your employer should seriously consider appealing the denial in order to preserve its reputation and to continue to employ H-1 workers.
If you have reason to believe that your employer might not be fully compliant with immigration laws, particularly as they relate to labor certifications and I-140's, you would be most protected if you changed employers
Ann
Thanks a bunch Ann. I really appreciate your help.
Thank you IV.

And now for some good news.....The New York Times and the St. Petersburg Times reported two separate indidents of penalties and [prison sentences imposed on people who provided fraudulent immigration services to foreign nationals.
The NYT article (http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/03/01/3-million-judgment-in-immigration-fraud-case/?scp=2&sq=immigration&st=cse) describes how Miriam Mercedes Hernandez was ordered to pay $3 million in fines and restitution to her victims. Ms. Hernandez charged her victim up to $15,000 per person to help them get permanent residence or citizenship within eight month but never performed the services she claimed.
As the article states
Immigration fraud, often orchestrated by immigrants, has proliferated across the country, victimizing people desperate to gain legal residency or citizenship. Law enforcement officials say such schemes are particularly difficult to uncover and prosecute because many victims are in the country illegally and are hesitant to seek help from the authorities for fear of deportation.
Under state and federal law, only lawyers or representatives accredited by the Justice Department can represent people before the immigration authorities. Anyone providing immigration services must also comply with strict rules governing contracts and advertising.
The St. Petersburg Times article (http://www.tampabay.com/news/courts/owner-of-clearwater-immigration-services-firm-gets-prison-for-false-asylum/1077161)describes a Clearwater woman who was ordered to 5 years in prison for filing false asylum claims. She was also ordered to forfeit $800,000 in profits. The defendant filed 274 asylum applications with false allegations of persecution.

The primary applicant's H1-B status must be valid for the dependent to get H-4 VISA stamp. The primary's own VISA stamp is not an issue.
I second that.
As long as your H1 "status" is valid (I 94 is not expired and you are working for H1 job at the employer that is mentioned on I 94), your family members will only need copy of your approved H1 (form 797 with attached unexpired I 94). They will get their visa without much problem.
Good luck.
