Hotel News Now, a leading Global Hospitality publication, ran a two-part series about staffing challenges facing the U.S. hotel industry. I was honored to be interviewed by the publication and share my insights on the problems facing hospitality employer in these challenging times.
With the level of unemployment about 8.5 percent, why do hotels still need foreign workers? There are various reasons, from location to the attitudes of American workers. And changes in schedules and lifestyle have affected one of the former staples of summer work�students.
The situation is bad for staffing professionals in the industry, said Jacob Sapochnick, a San Diego, California-based lawyer whose practice is devoted to immigration law. �Even though they can hire local people, they can never rely on them for the full term,� he said. �If you have a large hotel, need 50 housekeepers and hire locally, the turnover is very high. They find a better job or one that pays more. When you have H-2B workers, they know they have them for 10 months. Their visa depends on them working at that hotel.�
The more turnover, the less likely the hotel will function properly, Sapochnick said.

Hi, I have a question.
1. My colleague crossed 2 years after filing 485. Frustrated with GC processes, he is switching company for better career prospects. He is using his EAD and invoking AC21. Is it possible for me to use his labor? If no, why?
You can not get two chicken from one egg. One LC can produce one GC only.

My wife is currently on h4. She has applied for H4 to F1 trasfer i539 application with university A in May 2008. She is currently enrolled in University A on H4 as her application is pending. Now she got admission from a better unversity (starting Spring - Jan 2009) and she wants to join this university. What is the process to transfer her university given her i539 application is still pending (and probably remain pending till early 2009).
Regarding transfer, you need to wait from H4 to F1 before she can start attending classes.
Once you have a F1 transfer, all you need to do is talk to International Students Advisor dept of univ A and they would advise on what needs to be done. It's easy and straightforward.
Make sure that your wife still holds a valid I-20 from univ B, before you start this.

As far as i know, it is not possible. because your friend's I-140 was approved already, based on which I-485 was applied.
He can change an employer and shall not be any issue as long as the job description is same.
That doesn't equate to a situation where an employer can invoke I-140 before it's approval & use the LC for someone else.
(Note: I'm not an attorney)

You will apply when your number is current on the visa bulletin.
your interview will be scheduled in the 2011 fiscal yr which starts in october.
you can adjust the status in the u.s but be careful with this as the backlog can make it a long wait or you can go home or to the country of last foreign residence and get it done the same day.
any extra questions, send me a private note - i am very familiar with this process.
in the meantime, start collecting your documents for the interview as instructed in the package you will have received.

Please read what the event is about. It is NOT about people asking questions on issues. It is about "How can Congress effectively use Facebook". :)
No...he is going to talk about that. But, we can submit any question we want him to answer. I am in their email mailing list, the invitation explains it better than the facebook page :)

Guys,
I am currently working as Programmer Analyst for a company who is currently doing the GC. I have been with them for about 7 years.
Starting next month I am going to use my H1 7th year.
I am pondering about a new offer Firmware Engg. My GC detaisl are below:
PD: 06/2003 -- EB3
Education: MS
I am planning to stay in H1B, if possible with the new employer. But thinking of doing PERM and see if I can port my earlier date during I-140 filing.
Any suggestions or recommendations ...
Thanks
Srini
Better to agree on terms beforehand

Like many others, I was also unable to file my I-485 after the July 2 fiasco. My lawyer front-desked my application yesterday to ensure my eligibility for the class action. But he sent my application to the Texas Service Center instead of the Nebraska Service Center as was insructed in the form. Also, my employment letter was addressed to the Nebraska Service Center. His reasoning: my I-140 was approved by the Texas Service Center. Also, my name was spelt wrong on the FEDEX tracking system. Will USCIS reject it because of filing at the wrong service center...if so then will I lose my class status? Please shed some light.

the only difeerence is in the ease with which you shift employers.
when it was not called transfer you had to wait for approval of new H1 but now you can start working for new employer upon getting the receipt.

thanks in advance.
My 9th year H1B will expire in two days. My I-140 is still pending with TSC. I've sent my papers for H1B renewal. Hoping to get an extension till March 2010.
Hang on...I-140 approval is the key for 3 year H1B extension and 2 year EAD extension.

You need to have PT license to work. Every state has different rules, there is lot of paper work involved to sit for license exam. For Indians, mostly it was easy for Michigan, New york. For present scenario better check physicaltherapyforum.com, very good info avaliable
Once you pass license it is easy to get job and H1, presently physical therapy is recession proof. well paid over 60-75000 for new grads.

My confusion is, as soon as I enter on AP I am on EAD and I don't have approved EAD. Does this mean I can not work untill I get EAD approved? I don't have Visa Stamped and I am not planning for Visa Stamping.

hello all..
im currently living in NJ and my i-140 was approved.. since im on EB3 and my priority date is on 4/2008 i still have some time to wait in order for a visa to be eligible to me..
my main concern is : i would like to know if its possible for me to obtain a driver license with the approval notice i received from USCIS (i -797c Notice of action).. does my employer will need to fill out any forms for for that to happen ?? if so, what kind of forms :(
any help is appreciated..

Please complete your profile, so that those responding are able to understand your situation better.
I assume that your I-485 is not yet filed. If it is true, you must be having a H1-B or other work visa to maintain your work status. If yes, those are the documents you will need to get Drivers License extensions.
To my knowledge, approved I-140 is not an immigration status that can enable you to get a Drivers License extended on its own.
