Lot of people just say if u want to complaint about your employer who is exploiting go to DOL. There is no specific guidance to it. If anyone knows about it or done in the past please post the links here. How to know the blacklisted company and how to add a company as blacklisted.
Following are the most common criteria I heard
1) Employer did not ran the pay check even though he/she worked for that employer
2) Employer Deducts money for H1B filing, bench period etc.,etc.,
3) Employer Deducts money for GC lawyer and application expenses but did not provide information about lawyer or any progress of GC or partially information of GC.. (I heard from my friends company they filed around 80 people on July 2007 and collected money for lawyer expense but they did not had any lawyer)
4) Deducting money for Bench period in advance...

You say it is 50-50.
As per the cases that I have seen, it is 90(-ve) & 10(+ve).
My brother and many of his friends have been refused. The age of the doctors matters a lot. Young ones no chance.
Good luck

Thanks all who replied to my thread. I am contacting Air France regarding this transit crap. I will post my experience on this forum, when I get answer from Airline.
One thing is for sure, I will never again travel by Air france, BA and Lufthansa.

have you talked to a lawyer. If i am not wrong you have also used AC-21. Do you think revocation/withdrawal of the H-1B, will affect 485 in any way.

Thanks vparam ! We will give this a try. Hope they give us an SSN.
My wife CA bar exam for which she needed SSN. without bar affiliation she could not get a job. So it was the same situation. that is when we came to know about SSN without work authorization. Initially SSN person told no, it is not feasible but after showing the process requirement and providing the required documetns , the 2nd time we went we got it. It is also depends on the knowledge of the SSN person at the window. But law has it in provision to issue non-work SSN

Literally, windsor(Canada) and Detroit (USA) are seperated by river, so keeping GC and PR is like riding in two boats ... not possible. While Canadians are liberal in allowing their immigrants to travel daily into US to conduct their jobs ( that brings easy tax $$), it would be inconvienent to track daily movements out of country for GC. Remember at US citizenship, you will be asked to provide detailed log of trvels outside the country. So trip to Windsor is technically outside the country.
I had Canadian PR and am giving it up, because I finally got GC. With GCI can trvel freely into Canada. Plus even before Canadian PR, I never lived in Canada nor do I plan to in future. So why bother.

thanks for your reply.
my wife H4 was denied since it was applied after 2 months of I 94 expiration (july 1,2010)but we also sent the I 94 correction based on my H1B notice untill March 10,2011 since there was mistake at POE in jan 2010. On March 18 we received I 94 correction until March 10,2011. Hence now actual out of status is from march 10,2011. So we decided for her to go to India for stamping. But we also filed for MTR still my attorney adviced us to go to India for stamping since we don't want to cross the 180 day period.

Thanks for your reply Morchu. I want to have some further clarification here:
1. Yes. Most countries need 6 months validity on passport from the date of entry. Some countries are exempt from this rule.
The US Embassy has this pre-requiste of 6 months validity when applying for US Visa but I have no knowledge of any document mentioning this 6 months validity requirement at the US POE. Can you please point me to some source?
2. Usually you keep the same I94.
3. Not necessarily. But be prepared to answer questions. If you are unable to prove your intention to be permanently residing in US, upon US GC, that can be an issue.
How to prove this intention? Aren't proper H1B Documents, Employer Letter/ working in US enough to prove this intention? My question is as I will be using H1B documents to renter US at POE (not I-485 related documents i.e. Advance Parole), can that still be a problem?
Basically you have to claim that you have proper intentions now, and at the time of applications of canadian PR and US GC. Also you have to claim that you plan to reside in US permanently if you receive US GC.

Talk to a lawyer and get it done.
Should take about 1 hour to write the mail. Even for extension it you would take the same time to write.
Good luck. Yours will be approved soon.

btw, my heart skipped a beat seeing the title!! :) :D
The title gives the impression that EB3 - India is Current! Appropriate title could have been "My EB3-India petition is current"

Hi...
I called Ciudad Juarez, Mexico - -800-919-1754 (with a cost of US$7.00 per call payable by Visa or MasterCard) and checked up with the customer service with my petition number whether he could see my petition details in his system. He told me that he could see my petition details in the system. And, I asked him whether that information is from PIMS? But, he told me that he is not sure what system is that but he could see my petition information.
Does anyone have thoughts on this ... ie., MY Petition information is available in PIMS right now? If so, when will I get the passports stamped?
Thanks!

Thanks four response. Do you have any format to write a letter to Senator or congressman?
Please take your Senator or Congressman/Congresswoman help. Though it is not a sure shot, you are better off trying then not trying. Its a simple process, call your Senator and tell them that your application is struck at NSC for more than 2 years. They will take it from there; they will ask you all the documents they need.
My I-140 got approved after my local Senator called them.

Thanks so much for responding to this query and providing great insight here. The only concern at this point would be if availing of UC benefits would create any issues when an I-485 app is pending but will hope for the best that this will not be a problem.
Thanks again for chiming in on this.
I reviewed the State of Washington's unemployment compensation website, and from what I can see you would be eligible for benefits as long as you were legally authorized to work for the last 24 months and continue to be authorized to accept new employment. You will be required to provide your A# and agree to allow the State of Washington to share your application information with other agencies such as the IRS (UC benefits are taxable).

you are going to have to do some type of litigation.. which court and how are questions for your lawyers.. This forum is probably not right place.. start with attorny.. make sure it's not your attornies who screwed up..
have proof of documents for all the facts
and then go file in one of the federal courts..

What I understood from Ron's article:
They're not processing fast enough to exhaust visa numbers.
They want to minimize visa number wastage.
They may move dates significantly forward so that they can approve low-hanging fruits to approve as many as possible
Many people will have dates current, but few will get approved... it'll be luck of draw.
Dates will then return to retrogressed levels at the beginning of the next financial year.
However, overall visa number wastage should be much smaller than previous years as they have started moving the dates forward much sooner this time.Disclaimer: This is my interpretation of Ron's post. These are not my predictions.
Personally, I'm Pessimistic... being in India-EB3, that's not a state of mind... it's a lifestyle.
Well put together summary!
