conundrum
02-02 02:01 PM
While I was in school I did hear about desi body shoppers, but never thought of using one. But it so happened, that I was offered a job with a company that makes defense stuff and they wanted to use my service since I had a specific set of skills. They couldn’t have anyone, other than a US citizen or PR, working on other premises as it was considered to be a secure zone. So these guys hired an office for me in the building next door to theirs and even lined up a desi consultant that the HR guys knew so that I could work for them as a consultant. I was working on my OPT initially and then got my H1 through the desi body shopper. As most desi body shoppers go, he started eating into what was paid for the hr that I put in. The company that wanted to hire me was even paying this desi guy to get my GC, but he made sure that he was doing it as slow as possible. Finally both the company and I got sick of the whole thing and I finally found a job where they were more than happy to sponsor my H1 and GC. The defense company that I worked for before at least until a couple of months back was checking up with me to find out if I had got the GC, I am sure now the situation would be different.
The point I was trying to make was, no one wants to use a body shopper if possible, but at times you are forced into a situation where that is the only option available. I am not asking anyone to empathize with people who are working for a body shopper who is fleecing them, but at the very least don’t condemn them.
You're kidding right? No one I know has ever used a body shopper. It is only on forums like these that I hear about people who got H1Bs through a body shopper and are now complaining they don't get paid and wondering if they are in status.

When I joined Company X (prior employer) I paid for H1b transfer fee and h1b renewal fee(total $3200 + $3000).
They agreed to sponsor my green card(just to give required paperwork) and they asked me to pay GC cost, So far I have paid $1500 for labor +$1700 advertisement + $1700 for I-140 + $3750 just now to file I-485 for me and for my spouse as dates were current to my lawyer . I have labor and I-140 approved from Company X.
I was compromising my personal life by staying away from my family and company X didn't find any client near to my home. I decided to stay at home hoping Company X will find some client near to my home. I was on a bench(no salary for a month).When I asked for a "employment letter "to file I-485 Comapny X said they can't give because they are not paying me , I said I will resign and then you give me "future employement letter". I resiged Company X( i found company Y near to my home), in 10 days they cancelled my H1b visa without informing me, gladly I found Company Y and H1b transfer took place before they could cancel my H1b. Company X is reluctant even today to give future emplyement letter.They are ready to do corp-to-corp, forthat have to pay them H1b tranfer cost of $3200(as my prior h1b got cancelled by company X) . I don't beleive its worth going back to them , but at the same time never wanted to lose $8650 green card cost.
To join Company Y again I paid h1b transfer fee and , company Y expects me to pay Green card cost again. I am on 7th year extension. New H1b is valid till 2010(3 yr extension on I-140 approval from company X).
Shall I start green card again with company Y ?
Company X doesn't respond to emails/calls. There should some law to protect us from such employers. BTW Employer X was an american employer and wants to follow book-rules.Example .. informing USCIS to windraw H1b petition.
:( I am almost in tears.

Since it reached before July 30 it can reach anywhere !
Though I would say pray for TSC !
On July 25th lawyer sent my documents 140 & 485 concurrent, PD port from previous I-140 approval (approved at Nebraska).
Reached Nebraska Service Centre on July 26th.
Will it be processed at Nebraska Service centre or Texas Service centre? According to new direct filing instructions my employer and my residence comes under Texas Service centre.

I have a question from members who are getting ADIT Processing message. When did you file your I-485's? I am trying to figure out if USCIS is approving cases for those who filed recently w/o waiting for the ADIT or is it that the case was filed long time back and the previous ADIT has expired.
Thanks!
I applied for labor in July 2004 and field for I485 July 07 - I took my finger print in sep 07

I'm not saying that "H-1B job is permanent:" you're inferring again! I hold that *no* job in this country is "permanent" (legally speaking).
......
Look at the I-140 application (Page 2, Part 6, Question 5)
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-140.pdf
I wonder why uscis is asking "Is this a permanent position?", if according to you, "*no* job in this country is "permanent" (legally speaking)"
Did your attorney put No for this question for your I-140 app?
