As far as possible, I would strongly suggest to stay away from small consulting companies. These typically pay you only when you are on project and that too after taking a huge cut from your billing rate. For e.g. it is very common for such a company to bill $80-100/hr i.e. $160-200K annually for an employee but pay the employee between $50-70K only.
Also I have heard horror stories of delayed payrolls, h1 not being given to employee fearing that the employee might change jobs and so forth.
However if you are strong of heart, and can negotiate well, you might be able to make more money. For e.g. if you already have EAD, you are not bound to them. Thus you can always say that you want 80% of billing rate or else no deal. :)

We legals who are waiting in line have another setback with news like below
Illegal immigration: Influx of immigrants from India baffles border officials in Texas - latimes.com (http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-border-indians-20110206,0,3295315.story)
last week we heard about Trivalley.
eb-3 -> eb2 seems like a minuscule problem now.
We are self destructing ourselves by making US gov loose complete trust on indian credibility with few of the above among hundreds of nuances we are causing.
If you are like me.. always following rules.. light at the end of tunnel seem to be diminishing very quickly than what we thought.
Nothing new here. There'll be Indians, Mexicans, Africans. Anybody in the world who has an appetite for risk, and a desperate need to be in America will make it to Mexico and run across the border, just like the millions of illegals already did. The border's a joke and you can't blame the illegals if the USA allows people to get away with it even if they get caught. Why, you could even earn a red carpet to citizenship if you do that, under some proposed legislation.

Sounds complicated. I don't want to rain on your parade, but having more than one person in a freelance "business" (a business is anything that earns money) is very complicated. You have to work out tax and wages.
I'd suggest starting alone and then getting someone to help you, or share work with some else in a similar situation.

Most likely the employer will not go thru the suing process to recover $4000, he will simply put you in his black book.
At the max, you will not have the luxury of asking experiences letter or any other document you may/may not need now or in the future.
3 years is a pretty long time and I believe you should negotiate with him and leave proffesionally.
That way, even if you do not pay, you always keep the option open of paying him when you need him later. ( I know it sounds repulsive, but depending on other circumstances, like how much did he keep out of the billing rate and what other benefits he was giving you and many other factors) should contribute to your resigning deal with him.

Hi,
Anybody recently filed PIO through Travisa at DC embassy, please share your experience. I sent the application for my 1 and a half month daughter who is born here, and planning to travel to India in June. I would like to know how long does it take if the documentation is correct and is there any tracking system to know the status.
No issues I got it in 10 days...tracking you would get emails about the approval.

I am one of those that bounced around from CBSE (0-3rd) then GCSE O Level UK (4-7th) then ICSE (8th-10th) then finally back to CBSE (11-12)..it definitely hurts moving from board to board but kids are resilient and do bounce back.
However, u might want to consider schools that follow the IB (International Bacclaurate) Program. From what I have heard there are a number of schools in india that follow the IB program.
When they are in nursery/kindergarden, it definitely does not matter which "board" the school follows because they pretty much learn the same stuff anywhere in the world.

hello,
I had a very similar situation when i applied for a load a year ago. The loan officer was puzzled with my immigration status. He initially pre-approved the load and then he called and said that the bank can't approved due to my immigration status. However, the deny letter did not say that and said that the reason for denial was a completely different one. I spoke to a lawyer regarding this and he said that as long as I don't have immigration status / or origin of mine as the reason of denial in writing, I don't have a case. And, he said, immigration status can be taken into consideration when applying for a loan. As such, I re-aplied in a different bank and had no issues whatsoever.

DOL Proposed Legislation for Labor Certification
In an attempt to clamp down on fraud in the labor certification application process, the Department of Labor (�DOL�) has proposed regulations, which would impact both pre-PERM and PERM filings. The proposal includes requiring employers to pay for all costs and fees associated with a labor certification application. The penalties for violating this proposal include denial of the labor certification, revocation, debarment, or any combination. Debarment means an employer can not file a labor certification application for up to three years.
A labor certification application would also have a limited validity period. Currently a labor certification application is valid without limitation unless it is revoked or withdrawn. Under the proposed regulations, an employer must file an immigrant petition with the CIS within 45 days of the labor certification application approval. For applications which have already been certified, an employer must file within 45 days of the enactment of final rule implementing the regulations. If the labor certification application is not filed within this timeframe, it will expire and can not be used to support an immigrant petition.
The proposed regulations also prohibit substitution. Substitution occurs when an employer has an approved labor certification application, but the individual that was originally listed in the labor certification application is no longer being sponsored. An employer could �substitute� a new employee into the labor certification application if the new employee met the minimum requirements listed in the labor certification application at the time the application was initially filed. Concerned that substitution encouraged fraud, DOL proposes to eliminate substitution.
Finally, the proposed rule prohibits a labor certification application to be sold, bartered or purchased. If an individual or entity is found to have engaged in this kind of transaction, the labor certification application can be denied, revoked, debarment, or any combination.
I like the idea of the employer bearing ALL green card expenses and attesting to that with no impunity from prosecution if found guilty. Hey, that's the way it's supposed to be. The employer is SO INTERESTED in keeping you that they spend 15K on your paperwork, wait for 3-4 years till you get your GC. The reason we are being treated like the way we are by employers is because we are prepared to do any thing to get our GC's , even pay for it if it comes down to it and that this the case 90% of the time. Eliminating labor substitution, clamping down on fraudulent paperwork will clear the way up for everyone. I am glad that these steps are being taken; too bad it took so long.

[B]Hi ,
One of my cousin was working for a consultant firm from 5.5years and their company lawyer filed his labor in 2005.Whenever he called his lawyer for status checking,lawyer always replied that his case is pending.When he checked his case status online last week,he came to know that his case was closed.Reason was lawyer did not respond to notices from uscis in october and november 2006.And whenver my cousin emailed his lawyer, lawyer always responded only over phone and not by emails.So can anyone suggest,as to how to go about this case?Does he need to sue his employer or lawyer for misleading?Is this the master trick of employer or lawyer?And now no option for substituted labor too!Can his case be reopened again or will he have to file his labor again?

Hei... when you have the opportunity for an earlier PD just take it. Nobody can predict how EB1 PD will be in future. You loose nothing.
A more aggressive approach is to do concurrent filing for EB1-140 and another 485. But I wont do that.
.... Since EB1 is current most of the times......
