Because,
You have been threatened
You have been fired
You have been unemployed...
...You want to try something against them. But what are we trying to prove?
Take it to court only if you think you want to sue them and get money. As other said, it is an expensive process on your side too.
If you just want to prove it is a "wrongful termination", you don't have to. In US eveyone knows what is "fired" means in this economy.
If you just want to be reinstated in the same position, it is difficult to continue the job in a private company, if they are not willing to employ you.
In few days, the urge will go away.
You will realise that your new job is much better than the one you left. Just enjoy.
You can lodge a complaint with DOL, USCIS, sue your employer, prove 'wrongful termination' etc. But unncessary load to carry.
Good luck with your new job.
Hi Guys,
I am based out of NJ and was working for an imports company for more than 8 years. I have an approved I-140 with this company. This company wanted me to sign an overly broad non compete agreement which would be valid for 5 years after termination. I refused to sign this agreement and I was verbally threatened with dire consequences if I did not sign. They fired me yesterday for not signing it and also stated that they are canceling my H1. Would this be treated as wrongful termination? Is there any way that I can file a complaint with the DOL? Has the complaint to be filed thru an attorney or can I do it myself?
Good news is another company has already applied for my H1 transfer.
I will appreciate all suggestions and advices for which I thank you in advance.

Hi All,
I am self-filing my i-131 application this week. Here are the briefs about status:
Current Status: Working on EAD, 485-pending (July 2007 Application)
I am dependent on my husband's green-card application. I used my 6 years of H1-B and started working on EAD about 6 months back. We never applied for AP before. My husband extended his H-1B beyond 6 years as I-485 is in process.
I am tryin gto find complete list of documents for the application. I am planning to travel on Caribbean Cruise on Feb 27, 2010. I hope to get my AP approved by then. To avoid any RFIs I wnat to make sure I am sending everything that is needed.
1. Completed form I-131
2. 2 Photographs (size 2x2) with white/grey background. Head height and eye positions as per USCIS guidelines.
3. Copy of EAD
4. Copy of I-797C (I-485 receipt)
5. Copy of Arrpoved I-140
6. Copy of all pages of Current passport
7. Copy of all pages of expired passport
8. Copy of Driver's License
9. Marriage certificate (do I need this? Because I am am dependent on my Husband's 485 application)
10. Birth certificate (again do I need this. but I read somewhere)
11. Letter explaining why I qualify for AP (is there standard format for this? )
I really appreciate all help regarding this. I read many posts but most of them were about renewing AP or EAD/AP together.
Thanks a lot.

By the way, I got my EAD. I don't want to spend money
You can start to earn money instead by filling those stupid forms for somebody else... You got EAD, open you secondary business....:D

The whole non-compete agreement is a cruel joke on the employee who finds his own project. All these incapable bad desi employers ban the employee from joining the client whom the employee got them in the first place.
I know a friend of mine works for an employer, he found his own project through a vendor, now because of non-compete agreement he cannot join the client, nor the vendor and now the employer and vendors are buddies and thinking of other business opportunities. In all this the employee is the loser while it was he who brought the employer and vendor together into minting more money at his expense.
This is especially true of smaller companies. Big companies at least have real end clients and find projects. With smaller companies, employee finds projects, helps build client list for his company, gets paid less than market rate, etc.
If the GC process were smoother, a lot of such employers would shut down. Their business model is helped by the immigration mess....

In prep for the conference call, I suggest everyone read the documents prepared by Varsha and Sanjay (varsha@immigrationvoice.org sanjay@immigrationvoice.org) so that we know how to present our united case and make a memorable impression.
You can either email them, or PM me, and I can forward the docs, so we can read and inwardly digest!
The lawmakers I believe we need to talk to are:-
House Representative: Nancy Pelosi
Senators: Barbara Boxer
Dianne Feinstein

Please talk to a good immigration attorney.....following is just my opinion and do not take it as legal advice as every case is different.
If you have filed for AOS and are past the 6 month mark, have a valid EAD then you can invoke AC21 and change jobs.
Else your new company will most probably have to file a fresh labor and I-140 for you however you should be able to port or re-capture your PD.....
Again talk to a lawyer or post in the lawyer portal.........
best of luck

Hi Nayekal,
I am in the same situation as you. My wife's employment is expected to end in the Middle of March.
1. Is it necessary to have receipt number from I-539 in hand by the time the employment is ending or is it ok to mail the I-539 after the employment end date. I am asking this since my H1 is up for extension after April 1st. I am trying to understand whether there is any risk in applying for my wife's COS H1-H4 along with my H1 extension. In this case, there would be gap of 15 days between my wife's last working day and when I plan to send documents for my H1 extension and my wife's H1-H4 COS.
2. Also, if we change it to H4, is it the end of H1. Do we have the option of switching back to H1 at later date without having to go for a fresh H1.
Can you please share your experience.
Thanks....

Respected Sir,
I feel compelled to say that we the struggling immigrants from India
do not get much help from Americans whose roots are from SouthAsia/India.
There may be few exceptions - but the majority is kind of neutral.
Look at the Latino peoples - check out how much support they gets from Latino-Americans. Without that we can't be on Front page .
I'm not pessismistic but a its a grim reality.
Those southasian americans dont forget to say "I love my India" for various financial/personal gains but never ever mistakes saying "I love indians also"
Thanks
Yes and we have a tough tough task here - don't be surprised if they come up with wiredest ways to punish legal high skilled as days go by - we can see more frustration among those legal immigrants coming to US.
What we can do
MAAKE IT AS VISIBLE AS POSSIBLE

Last month I flew to New Delhi India through Continental Airlines, I did not had the visa and my Visa had expired. You have a flight to Mumbai also. It is a nonstop flight, 13 hours straight and you are in. No hassles, no need of transit visa and you save six hours that goes in vain while transit.
Mu suggestion, fly Continental from New Jersey.
Thats the best in all respect. Travel time, no transit visa etc.
Thanks

I received email from USCIS this morning for my wife I-485 i.e Card Ordered for Production. I am the Primary applicant, but i am still waiting for my turn. My PD is Sep 2004 & EB2.
We booked our tickets to India before we received this email. I am travelling in 3rd week of Sep. We both have new AP's. So is i have to wait here in USA to receive the Card or can i proceed with my actual plan?. Can anybody share their expertise?.
I really for your help in Advance.
Thanks,
Lotus
Call USCIS to find out about your case. My friend's I-485 (Primary) showed an updated status but his wife's status was unchanged. When he called USCIS he was told that 485 was approved for both..just that his wife's status was not updated.
