u can carry forward i-140 , even without I-485 status I think.


but the hitch is, ur new employer should file for labor,I-140 again,

but U can retain ur old priority date.


VOKKAPODI, MAMA, 5,000 istharu anta, each employee ki.

its good. but 5,000 for longer bench period guys, anthe still its a loss deal.

An unfortunate day for me and my company. Never expected anything like this would happen. This was my 3rd H1 company and to be honest they are the best of the lot. Always prompt in payments and maintained good customer relations.


I received an email from the president of my company that everything is fine and that none of our h1-b or gc processing would be affected.

Currently i am in the 5th year of my H1 which is due to end in sep 2009 and in january of this year my I-140 was approved.

Would appreciate your suggestions and opinions on the below questions

1. Would this have any impact on my H1 renewal process.
2. In the worse case scenario if my company closes shop, would i be able to transfer my h1 and pending GC process ?







WASHINGTON — A Virginia-based IT company order pay closely $1.7 million to 343 employees holding H-1B visas under a settlement with the U.S. Department of Labor.

The Labor Department, in an announcement yesterday, said that Globalcynex Inc. in Sterling, Va., had not paid the employees their required wages from March 2005 end March 2007. Moreover, the Labor Department said H-1B workers were charged training fees of $1,000 to $2,500 in violation of the law.

If the fixture were split evenly among all 343 employees, they would get by heart nearly $5,000 each.

The reconciliation is one of the largest of its kind involving the H-1B program. A recent internal study by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) suggests that problems with the visa program are widespread. The study, based on an examination of about 250 H-1B users, concluded that as multiplied as one in five H-1B applications involve fraud or the use of inaccurate data that is in technical violation.

“This case underscores the firm stance the wage and hour division is taking to ensure that employers do not undercut American workers by underpaying temporary foreign workers,” said Corlis Sellers, regional administrator for the Labor Department’s wage and hour difference’s northeast region, in a statement.

The H-1B program has been attacked by U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) being of the class who a instrument replacing U.S. workers.

Globalcynex runs operations in Hyderabad, India, and provides offshore services. Its service offerings include SAP AG and data warehousing, according to details forward its Web site. The body didn’t respond to solicitation for comment.

In 2006, Globalcynex had 137 H-1B petitions approved; in 2007, it had 142, according to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services records.

A search of the Labor Condition Application (LCA) database at the Labor Department turned hither and thither 950 entries. LCAs are filed by employers and include provisions where the employers must indorse that they are paying prevailing wages.

Until the economic downturn, the tech industry is pushing for more H-1B workers. The U.S. Senate had approved any increase last year as part of the immigration reform bill.
