Is it against the law to apply for F-1 visa while I-130 is pending? May it in some way affect the I-130 application?
Since DS-160 form doesn't ask that question regarding petition on my behalf anymore do I have to tell them the truth myself or not unless they ask? Please comment. Thank you.

If the minister talks to the US President regarding VISA retrogression problem,How the outside world will come to know ? The discussions will be kept confidential ! I don't think everything will be disclosed to the press. VISA revalidation is another thing he can talk to US Secretary of State.
I have seen a lot of ridiculous ideas suggested on this forum, but this one takes the cake and icing too.

The only major issue I see here is "Reasonable notice period"? what is considered to be sufficient notice period? If they say it is 2 weeks, then I dont see a problem in that. Most companies would expect that you provide them with atleast 2 weeks notice before leaving employment. This is normal. But without specifying anything of that sort, it is scary. After you sign the agreement, the company might come back and say, the sufficient notice period is 3 months, Then you are screwed. So, clear those things up.
As far as the accuracy is timesheets are concerned, those are pretty much standard language. Since you will get your timesheet signed by your client manager and always have a copy of this timesheet, you will be safe. Also, tranfering your billing is always part of any non-compete agreement. Not just with Desi consultants.
So, the only thing I see is the broader scope of the reasonable notice period. IF you can get that cleared and have the number of days of notice period expected in the agreement, you should be ok.

Its is always advisable to file the petition as AILA clearly stated that they are going to identify "class" of people. The court may or maynot give benefit for all classes .so better file and be in the "Best Class" where if AILA wins the case you will get benefited ,Dont be penny foolish as if you already spent money in getting other stuff ..what you are loosig in 1 grand for attorney fee , ( think of desi employers who gets 2 grands every month on you )
Also with todays's rumor some thing positive is in pipeline ..even july VB flip-flop also started as a rumor
Thanks for the info. Mine is already filed FYI. I am trying to help my friends you missed the boat due to Attorney's inefficiency to file it at the right time and employers greed.

You may be right in saying that people should be united, but you cannot and should not FORCE them to be. Censoring threads that you think go against the 'united' theme would be just wrong and would hurt IV more than it would help it.

Is it okay to have an internal transfer (same company, from East Coast to West Coast) after obtaining the Green Card? Or transferring after 6 months to 1 year would be better?
If it's okay to transfer right away, does the new position need to have the same/similar title, duties, and salary?
Thank you :)

Why are you jealous. Seems like he is qualified for EB-2 and applied it.
Buddy, I am in the same situation with an American company for which I am working since 2002. I applied in EB-3 (at that time per the job requirements). Company is ready to promote me but I am not accepting due to my EB-3. They decided to file labor for the future job which comes under EB-2. They filed it and waiting for approval.Once I get labor and 140, yes I will use EB-2 and take the promotion. How is this become an abuse, can you expalin? In my view if you get an offer for the future job in EB-2 category and not use that opportunity then that is called abusing yourself not the law.
What's wrong there other than making some people jealous.
Congrats on getting your green card. Your post and attitude is the exact reason why DOL has made it almost impossible to get EB2 certification especially in the software field and why people despice consultants like you and your desi employer.
You said in your post "Appiled for EB3 labor in jan 2004, even though i am qualified for EB2" dear sir its not your qualification that determines whether you get to file in eb2 or not but it is what the job requirements are that determine whether it is eb2 or eb3.
Another line from your post "After realizing that the dates will never become current for EB3, my desi employer files for EB2 labor" this and the previous line clearly show that you and your desi employer have no respect for the law. It is because of blatant abuse like this that DOL is cracking down on eb2 filings. Now thanks to people like you and your desi employer who have abused the law now even eb2 india might never become current because tons of people have already ported and spillover to eb2 is not happenning anymore like previous years. People have realized even eb2 india is never going to move beyond 2003 so "consultants" like you and desi companies have moved on to abusing eb1. Seems like you are proud of your achievement just like the L1 folks from desi companies who brag about getting green card in less than an year by abusing L1.
To all the people who think they can pull a trick like mr salawrene by filing in eb2 again hard luck there are 120000 485 applications with USCIS with eb3 and eb2 having about 60000 each, because of abuse in Eb1 no more spillover of visa numbers to eb2 india wil occur so eb2 india will not move forward, on top of it dol is cracking down on eb2 filings. eb2 might start moving backward to 2003 or 2002 and will remain stagnant like eb3 because no visa spillover is happenning.
because of desi consultants and desi employers abusing the system the whole EB community is suffering, high time we respected the law and stop this practise. for speaking the bitter reality if eb2 and eb1 abusers, consultants, desi employers want to give me a red go ahead and do it, but ask yourself have I said anything which is incorrect

I usually shy away from replying to what people have to say about legal immigrants as I strongly believe that each person is entitled to his/her own views. Having said that, people like Communique (not directed at you, but using your name as you seems to be the most vocal), don't seems to realize that it is in the interest of this country to have well educated legal immigrants. I just hope that the opponents of the legal immigration realize that each legal immigrant (at least in the EB category) is very well qualified and they are doing to job which has been advertised for a period of at least 30days and no legal resident was found to be qualified for it.
The question is very simple, why would you NOT want such a person to be a legal immigrant to your country? Only if you are xenophobic would you be opposing such immigrants. Why would you want to put a million roadblocks in the path of such people? Instead of trying to run them out the country by frustrating their efforts to immigrate and denying them the basic rights like ability to accept a promotional, receive a higher pay, etc. shouldn't you be welcoming such immigrant who add value to this country?
There are so many "whys" that I could ask a person who opposes legal immigrants. Like I said before, this is my train of thought and belief, if you don't buy it then you are entitled to your. As long as you can rationally justify it to yourself that is all that matters.

I went to Chennai US consulate for my 7th year H1B visa stamping. Without verifying any of my docs which took it with me, VO just issued 221g green slip and asking all petitioner's docs....
Here is more detail about my case.
1. I am working for a small company < 50 employees as a full time employee, since 2005.
2. I am the only one H1B in my company ...
3. My company was acquired by our competitor and name got changed ...
Here are my concerns
1. If they have any concern / doubt about me / petitioner, Why dont they clear it before approving I-129? Now DOS is sending back all the 221g cases to USCIS only for further verfication. So does it mean USCIS is not doing enough verification before approving I-129?
2. Can IV team / Experts help to rectify this too much of back and forth b/w USCIS and DOS?
3. If my visa is rejected, How do I vacate my apt, selling my car?
4. What will happen to my son's school? i.e. How do I transfer or continue his education in India...
5. I would suggest all the H1b people to think twice before going for visa stamping in India.
If anybody in similar situation, Please share your exp here ...

Welcome hopelessinseattle!
I live in Seattle as well.
You are right. They do not tell you likely because employers enjoy the idea that people visa dependent many times turn out to be "more productive" for the company. This is just a nuance, but I can speak from my own experience that I used to work longer hours and demand less when I was on H1B. It is a fact.
Only time will tell. There is no lawsuit angle to be explored against this as far as I know.
It is interesting what other members reported about people being in denial, even when you clarify about the difficulties about the greencard process. I had my own brother coming here and his employer talked big about greencard, etc and he started making plans to bring his wife. I told him everything we have been through and he didn't pay attention to it. In the end it turned out that his profession was not even eligible for H visas.
Good luck to us all. God Bless America.

When I was hired last spring, I was not told about GC retrogression by my employer. I beleive they should have explained in graphic detail and if they done so I would not have left a good job and my home in Canada to move to an American nightmare.
I recently discovered that I have at least a 5 year wait as an EB-3. My teenage daughter will be too old to get a green card as a dependent and my wife is seriously depressed about not being allowed to work.
How many other people are as P-Oed as I am and is there a class action suit here?

There is no way to clean every thing with in 3 to 4 years, Why because like EB3 china and India had country limit per year.
Country limit is EXCLUDED for employment based visa spill over. Read USCIS policy.
