Dude - think practically. If the billing rate that the company is going to get from the client is $70/hr and they keep only $5/hr then they have to give him $65/hr. If they have to keep him on the payroll, they will have to pay 7.45% in payroll tax, which is employer's portion of Social Security Tax and Medicare (reducing their rate from $70 to $65.1575). This means they will be making 15.75 cents/ hr (translates to $315 for a year assuming that you work for 2000 hrs - the remaining 80 hrs go in holidays - for which they may or may not pay). Even if they are outsourcing payroll, do you think that it will cost them less than $315 a year to pay him? even if it costs $0 - who would be willing to keep you on their payroll to make only $315 a year? Would you? and if you take unemployment insurance and liability insurance into account, the company would make a loss. If you owned a company would you follow this business model? If you are - you might as well just give your money for free to all your employees.
The only way you can get a company to keep $5/ hr and give you the rest is if you agree to a 1099 (and you cannot do that on a H1B - you need to use EAD for that). On a 1099 - there are other tax implications - now you have to pay both your share and the employer share of payroll tax (14.9%). And now since you are an independent consultant (which is what a 1099 is), you have to get your own Liability Insurance. To prevent people from suing you, you will need to form a LLC or some other type of corporation. You might want to get a good CPA to setup your company so that you can setup the right kind of company to benefit from the right tax deductions.
There is nothing wrong in making more money - just like you want more money, the corporations are out there to make money too. No one is in the business for charity. As long as the relationship between employee and employer is symbiotic, all is good. Once the equation changes, it is either time for the employee to say good bye to the employer or for the employer to off-load the employee from the corporate bus.
I have seen many posts in this forum complaining of "blood-sucking" employers and how they exploit employees. To me, that is the same as:
- programmer's guild complaining about us stealing their jobs or
- people losing their home and blaming the banks "for not disclosing terms"
- anyone who is blaming anyone else for their troubles
If you are being exploited, it is because you are willing to be exploited. Don't blame the employer. Blame yourself. If you don't want to pack your bags and go home when you lose a job and cannot get another one, don't blame the employer and tell others that they are "sucking your blood". Everyone is here to make money.
I understand what you meant..i forgot to mention in my post that if i expect the employer to keep 5/- only then i will take care of running payroll(means pay ADP to run payroll). I will pay employer to keep my h1b status.
I do understand there are expenses incurred on the employer side too.
Also i will work with the vendor on EAD but on W2. So no worries about liability insurance. But thanks for your informative post. I need strong information like you gave so that i dont take a wrong step..

nobody complains about somebody getting green card getting in six months, infact I know somebody who got green card from india onmployment basis, the problem is people who have waited for 6 years or longer feels the pinch, because
they have followed the law just like the guy who got in 6 months , and they see no light at the end of the tunnel, and frustration to certain degree amounts to anger.
chilllllllll enjoy the system, this is how the system works, like it or not.
thanks
And venting frustration on the forums by posting messages will ease out the situation? Right? And there is no need to explain this �unfairness� to the lawmakers who are considering various solutions to fix/address all possible immigration related problems. Would cribbing alone about �unfairness� on this and other forums help bring fairness to the process?

Guys pls stop taking useless info pass appointments. People like me who have not received EAD and may loose the job are not able to get infopass appointments because of all the people taking appt to know the 485 status. Pls understand......
No offense to you however:
1: An infopass may and may not solve your problem (so don't count on that)
2: Not all infopass'ers are seeing your message
So - A better thing to do will be to remind USCIS of its duties by taking one/more of these actions until you get your EAD
- talk to local congress person and have them nag USCIS
- open a service request if your case is outside processing time
- send form 7004 to ombudsman
Good Luck

basbawa10, Well, why they are transfering your case back and forth can only be explained by them. Very fact that your case has been transfered around suggests that somebody has seen your case. Procedures described in link mentioned above, has a protocol on determining proper processing center, which has a complex formula based on state of residence, center approving I-140 etc. If your I-140 was approved by one center, and if in the meantime you moved to a state in different center jurisdiction, or USCIS changed jurisdictions, it might have created ambiguity on who should deal your case. Back and forth transfer suggests that centers are not agreeing on who should deal with your case. You may want to try an Infopass, which would let you know if your case is preadjudicated. If so, you just need to wait for PD to be current again.
Thanks JSB, I will try getting Infopass although I have tried it earlier but to no use. They do not give any info excepting "wait for your priority date to become current"

from www.kenrockwell.com (http://www.kenrockwell.com) , hope this will help
There was a problem in the first two of seven D70s I've used. The focus calibration was off by about a tenth of a millimeter. This means that your images will not be focused on your subject, but instead on something somewhat behind your subject. Don't confuse this with the common mistake of having selected the wrong AF area or otherwise pointing the AF sensor to the side of your subject. Nikon of course will adjust this under warranty if it's a problem. With common f/3.5 and slower lenses it's not much of a problem, and at regular shooting apertures of f/8 or so its completely invisible. Some people incorrectly call this the "backfocus" problem.
On the other hand, if you have fast lenses that alone cost more than the complete D70 kit and you shoot them wide open you ought to check your camera. My $1,700 28mm f/1.4 lens (http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/2814af.htm) wide open at f/1.4 was useless on two cameras, but of course OK at normal apertures. You won't see this through the finder. You have to look at the images at 100% on your computer. It's simply the image being focused on something just a little behind where it should have, which is usually invisible if you have enough depth of field, and of course Nikon will stand behind it if it really is a problem. The samples I've used in May 2004 now seem AOK and mine is perfect, even at f/1.4.
Heck, my D70 focused better than any other camera I've owned, even with my f/1.4 lenses.
Testing this is simple. Just go make at least a dozen photos with your lens wide open and look at the results at 100% on your computer. See if the camera really focused where it should have. If you haven't done this kind of test before there's the potential that your technique may be off and not looked for it before, but you get the idea. The only concern here is that you need to have the focus be where you put it.
This miscalibration is the reason some people think their D70 images are soft. They aren't soft; they simply are focused on the wrong thing!
If your camera is out of adjustment, which I only saw on some of the very first samples, of course it's covered under warranty. If you are crazy, like this guy here (http://dvdhelp.narod.ru/D70_back_focus.html) (look out, it's a slow loading page), you can use a nail to mess it up further and void your warranty at the same time. I don't have this much guts; the D70 has a year warranty and I know your camera isn't that old! On the other hand, I respect his innovative spirit and it's this pioneering spirit which makes him an honorary American as far as I'm concerned. Please use a real Allen wrench to make these adjustments, and remember that Nikon will do it correctly for you for free under warranty and probably clean your camera as well at the same time!

You've ever heard of kamikaze missions help by Japanese pilots during world war 2?
They were suicide missions to bomb American targets (like Pearl Harbor) knowing very well they will not come back alive. They would crash their planes into enemy targets laden with a lot of explosives.
Go figure!
Whatever side you are on, there is no way you can liken kamikaze mission to a suicide. Kamikaze mission was of bravery, people willing to die for their countries -- that is the ultimate sacrifice. People committing suicide are just cowards who aren't strong enough to face life problems thrown at them. I am sure a lot of us here have lost investments too, but we are going to pick ourselves up and continue to make our lives -- not end it.

After all these days it appears many people are still not clear about the difference between 485 processing times and priority date movement.
The two are completely different entities. When USCIS talks of backlogs they do not mean backlogs due to retrogression (PD unavailability). They are talking about the number of applications they received and the time it takes for them to process them.
When USCIS says it will clear the backlog by 2010, it means applications filed after that time will be processed in a timely manner (in less than 6 months). It does not mean that all the 485s before that time wil be approved. It only means these 485s will be processed and thrown into a cold sorage bin to be looked at again whenever the PD becomes available.
When retrogression started in 2005, EB2 India jumped forward by 6 months each visa bulletin. The reason was namecheck delays combined with the problem of Labors with Old PDd languishing in BECs. As both these problems have been eliminated now and also many EB3 filers from that time are switching over to EB2, it is highly unlikely that one will see wide movement in India EB2.

While having Vayalar Ravi talk to US Govt. on social security taxes is a good idea having him talk about retrogression is a very bad idea.
Permanent residency and retrogression are internal affairs of US of A. USA and USA alone will determine who gets their PR and citizenship. Any foreign official touching that subject will be seen as infringing on this nation's sovereignity.
During the 60s USA wanted lot of doctors and imported them from India. Later on they started producing their own doctors and we know how difficult it is for an Indian doctor to emigrate now. I suspect computer programmers are the next. The current focus is on importing nurses and when they have enough nurses they will have the same problem..... Isn't life very fair ?

HOUSTON: A federal jury has found five people guilty of conspiring to obtain fraudulent work visas for nearly 90 Indian nationals in exchange for at
least $20,000 per visa, the US Attorney's Office said.
Mahendrakumar "Mack" Patel, 55, Rakesh Patel, 36, Alberto Pena, 38, Bernardo Pena, 38, and Marte Othon Villar Sr, 48, encouraged and induced the illegal immigration of Indian nationals in exchange for tens of thousands of dollars per visa, a statement from the US Attorney's Office said yesterday.
The jury found that Alberto and Bernardo Pena, twin brothers from Brownsville, along with co-defendants had encouraged and induced 87 individuals from Gujarat to unlawfully enter US on temporary H-2B visas, knowing that the Indian nationals did not intend to work for the company that was used to get visas for them.
The brothers also knew that the visa-seekers did not intend to return to India when their 10-month visas expired, a statement said.
Pena twins also travelled to India to assist the Indian nationals with the application process and visited and corresponded with the US Consulate in Mumbai.
Two other co-defendants -- Mack Patel of Ft Worth and Rakesh Patel, a Houston pharmacist -- pleaded guilty for recruiting Indian citizens who were willing to pay $20,000 to $60,000 in exchange for visas to enter the United States

Hi,
My company is asking me to pay the extension fees for 3rd term with same company. I had approved 140. In USCIS receipt it says amount received: $320. Then why I am asked to pay $1820. Is the $1500 towards training is to be paid by employee or employer?
Most probably the 1500 is attorney fees.
