I guess most of the folks here are busy preparing to apply for 485. I have different problem here.
My employer's attorney is charging me outrageous fees of around $5000 to
apply for 485, AP and EAD for me and my spouse. This excludes USCIS fees. I work on hourly basis, so I should be taking care of immigration fees. My employer is not allowing me to file through another law firm.
Do I have any other options. How much do they charge usually.
Same with me My current attorney increased the fee overnight and luckily my employer is ready to work with others. find another one today and sent all the documents ( my 140 was already approved and available with me ) ..Dont want to take any risk with the 485 filing .....so hired another attorney

Thanks lazysis.... your confidence is boosting my confidence too :-)
JaiHind....would you mind briefing me on your casez? why did ur employer charge 7K from you? did u also sign similar contract?
After reading all the great posts on this thread and their experiences, it hurts me why in the world did I even pay my old employer 7K...(I wish, to do something thing like this and check with great experts opinions like how you did on your case....) and could have saved 7K:mad:
here is my experience and for sure you all would agree by not paying 7k to this 2nd employer "sky wouldn't have fell down"....:
In 2003, I joined my 2nd employer (Indian Consulting) since I came to US in year 2001. At the time of joining this employer made me sign all kinds of contract and one of the contact that I signed was to pay (50-50%) for GC processing and if left the company before GC is approved I have to pay the remaining 50% and contract was something like this "if Employee were to leave the company’s employment prior to GC approval, employee hereby agrees to refund all expenses includes attorney, processing fees etc., to the Company with 30 day's......."
Here is my GC experience: I provided all the information that my 2nd employer/attorney requested in order to file my GC and after 6 months on my follow-up on where they are with GC process they told me to provide additional paper work due to which they could not start my GC processing "6 months wasted here" (since I am idiot) and should have realized this employer is a useless/fraud one and didn't learn my lesson in my 2nd attempt of GC processing with this 2nd employer (something similar happened to me with earlier employer (Indian consulting) & by the time I realized it was already 2 years wasted down the road and they haven't started my GC, I got irritated & left my 1st employer "2 years wasted 2001-2003).. I could have left little early but they had close to 40K of my overflow money with them which I was able to extract at the time of my wedding excuse....thank god!!
Now after providing other documents that he requested papers and then after then every month I used to follow-up but after another 6 months I know there was no progress and this employer is just carries about money and one day I asked him if they have any intentions of applying for my GC or would like to continue on playing around this catch up game for ever and finally they gave me attorney contact number & work directly with him...this attorney is another JOKER (Indian guy with a fake American accent). This attorney thinks he is Mr.George Bush-2, I could never talk to him directly & his assistant used to put me on to his voice mail every time when I called & later he used to mail with response...
By now I have already paid my 3.5K (that was forcibly deducted from my paycheck in addition to thei 60% of hourly pay cut) and almost 23 months gone down the road and asked if they filed my GC that was end of year 2004 and guess what.... they don't have receipt number at that time too...and right then I gave my 2 weeks notice and in advance I applied to another known consulting company H1 transfer (this is my current employer who is good and no complaints). The minute I gave my resignation, I was still working at the client using new H1 and happen to know that this 2nd employer was enjoying 60% of my hourly billing rate and when I gave my resignation they HR was bargaining me for increase in my pay by 50 CENTS/hour (can you guys believe this and its true they did that to me "50cents") and non of their great offers worked on my end and!! I left the company once I got approval from new employer and next day they sent me a notice to pay remaining 3.5K followed with legal action notice that will be taken if not paid in 30 days of time frame else they will give information to collection agencies...) Since they mentioned about "collection" agencies I decided to pay the remaining amount else as you all know these collections agencies can also ruin "credit history"...& thought its not worth dealing with credit history.
Summary of my GC experience: wasted 4 years of valuable time (2001-2004) & most important paid 7K for GC in first place process didn't even start at all....isn't that a JOKE!!
my 3rd employer filed for my GC in MAY 2005 in EB2 (TSC), received EAD/AP, I am very happy with this employer and treats their consultants very professional and helps if & when needed.
JUST CURIOUS, DO ALL THINK I CAN EXTRACT MY PAID 7K BACK FROM THIS EMPLOYER WHO CHEATED ME OR YOU THINK ITS WORTH LET IT GO???....any comments, suggestions are greatly appreciated!!
THE END!!

I think it all started in 2007. As you guys know there were mass applications filed in 2007 from everyone who were current including EB2/ROW/I/C and EB3 /ROW/I/C.
AFAIK, close to 1 million applications were filed during this period if you include 485s , EADs and APs and all by all the folks.
All was fine until this time and then came 2008 where some people who were still on H1 applied for EADs and APs as USCIS started to give EADs for 2 years.
Then in 2008 there was a new rule put in place stating that there need to be an Employer-Employee relationship for the people working on H1, this has created some kind of panic among employees and employers and people started to invoke EADs left and right thinking it was not safe to continue to be on H1.
And since then as the economy started to take toll, people were laid off and employers were not willing to transfer H1s as they were too many queries on H1 extensions and transfers. Everyone thought that it was never to be safe to be on H1 and started to invoke EADs either to change for better jobs and people looking for jobs also invoked EADs as it was easier to move..
Then came Oct 2009 and we saw that not many Labors are getting filed by EB2 ROW applicants and very few employers were filing Labors as the Unemployment was in 2 digits % wise and were not able to convince DOS on non availability of citizen/PRs workers to do same or similar jobs.
Also most of the Labors were audited and it took close to a year to clear all that backlog before people were eventually approved in EB2-ROW applicants, until we saw July visa bulletin which raised our hopes.Based on the spill over they were supposed to approve close more than 40k EB2 I/C applications in the last 3 months of the year.
But there was a twist in their understanding. As most of the people who got EADs in 2008 were ripe for renewals(this includes EB-2 ROW/I/C, EB-3 ROW/I/C).And hence applied in mass for their renewals. This caused a huge delay in approving the EAD renewals and you have already heard sad stories about it..
Out of all this, All I can say is that USCIS was working harder than ever during the past 3-4 months to approve so many cases and hence I assume there is a genuine workload to clear all those cases.
Based on the approval trends, I think they have already allocated visas to the applicants who were current and started to approve as soon as the case has been looked into unlike what they used to follow of requesting visas after final verification.
Remember USCIS cannot give an excuse of not utilizing all the visas for the current year and blame on FBI name checks and all , as they had 3 sweet years to adjudicate the applications. And I guess they were under tremendous pressure to approve the cases by Sept 2010 month end.
Just my Honest Opinion.

Whoa, now be careful what you say there tiger. Outsourcing has nothing to do with the H-1B program, if everyone followed the law. Then people wouldn't be in America, underpaid or on the bench. American companies outsourcing to India etc. is happening. Everyoe is entitled to an opinion on whether that is right or not. But BREAKING THE LAW BY ENTERING THE COUNTRY ON AN H-1B ON FALSE PREMISES is simply illegal, and has nothing to do with the issue of outsourcing. Two different things.
I am not saying all American companies are saints. The ones breaking the law should be punished accordingly. But facts are that Indian companies are among the biggest abusers of H-1Bs. Nothing wrong with Indian companies in general. But the ones breaking the law should be brought to justice, it's as simple as that.
Only one question: Ultimately for which companies the h1b consultants work for? It is not for Indian companies. It is always for projects in US companies. Mind it. Let US companies decide whom they want? I do not understand Why some people here are talking that Indian companies are using h1b etc etc.
Go and ask US Govt to provide free College education in computers to everyone in US. Then you will not have all these problems right. Instead of dealing the problem that way simply blaming trade laws?

All you need to send is a letter saying that you invoked AC 21; also attach supporting documents, i.e. employment offer from your new employer describing job title, duties and salary and stating that employer intends to hire you permanently after you receive GC; documentation showing that your I-485 has been pending 180 days or more before you've changed jobs.

We have been living in a county which has implemented 287g for some time. And I believe all legal residents in my county feel safer because of its implementation. Sure, there is a chance that 287g can be misused by the police. But tell me one law which can not be misused by police.
The thing is that more counties are signing on to 287g. St. Mary's County Joins Controversial Federal Immigration Initiative - Southern Maryland Headline News (http://somd.com/news/headlines/2010/11667.shtml).
I went thru the proposal in Arizona and could not find even one point which might be bad for us. Did any of you find something?

We want the citizens and law abiding people in this country to support us; not the illegals.
"trained professionals" can identify undocumented workers just by looking at their clothes......"They will look at the kind of dress you wear, there is different type of attire, there is different type of -- right down to the shoes, right down to the clothes," Bilbray replied.
How long before we are targeted based on this rationale (our traditional dresses are easily recognizable!!) ....... These policies will only spiral in the wrong direction, making every immigrant's life miserable - be it legal or illegal!!!

Great. I wish I had an employer like that !
I was denied life insurance by Erie based on my non-immigrant status. However, my employer found an alternative insurance company that did not mind my non-immigrant status - but of course charged a premium for the "added risk caused by foreign citizenship and increased possibility of foreign travel".

Your spouse applied for H4/H1? Which one?
Thank you very much Dinesh for this. Currently my spouse's passport is stuck in the same place for god-only-knows-what reason. The embassy staff said they are auditing every 2nd-3rd application. We have the AP but we were thinking that if we withdraw the H1B application, the embassy people might stamp the passport saying "Application Received" which sometimes can be a euphemism for "Visa Denied". I once got such a stamp when visa was denied to me.
Since we would then always have to keep explaining at every stage why we have that stamp, that's why we are sticking on with H1B delay. We have been given the same time-frames as you were.
When you withdrew your passport to travel on AP, did they stamp your passport with any text? Also could you please tell us the procedure you followed to withdraw your passport and whether you could collect it in person? We have been asked to email the US Embassy for withdrawing from our H1B application.
Thanks buddy.

You must name him. God forbid if it is my own employer, and he has done the same backstabbing to me too. Please let me know the name of this bastard, atleast in a private message so that I can sleep better tonight.

All,
We have a head start on Northern CA lawmakers, but we'd like to galvanize the rest of the state.
We have an excel spreadsheet with the district office info of every CA congressperson. We should just start going through that list and meeting at least a lawmaker or two a week in every sub-region.
It would be great if members from Southern CA and Central CA would get involved. Dial-in to the weekly conference call on Thursdays, and find out how we put a lawmaker meeting together, what works and what doesn't, what to take etc.
Also, if you go to the Resources section of the website -- you'll see the new presentation and edited brochure. Check them out and prepare yourself for conversations with legislators and potential members.
Join the crusade people!

Guys - why is the Hike in immigration fees conciding with strong opposition to funding of the Iraq War.....These funds may well go to Iraq....as Bush is not able to garner support for additional funding from congress.
I do not think they can use it for IRAQ. But in the past, when INS was one Department, they have used it for border control and all for deporting illegals and all other such activities.
