And how are you sure that the second application will be correct and not have any errors that the first one had? :D
In that case, we can have third application ready!

Indeed if the major concern is the displacement of US workers and outsourcing, the Senator's should also send their questionnaire to companies such as Accenture (essentially a foreign corporation (http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d03194r.pdf)) and IBM Global Consulting among many other companies.
http://www.truthout.org/mm_01/4.dnc.gop.tax.report.pdf
Many of these corporations lobbying against cracking down on corporate expatriates and seeking to enjoy the tax breaks in moving offshore have been funneling campaign contributions to Republican federal candidates and parties. As the table on the previous page shows, Accenture contributed $237,584 (69% to the GOP) in the 2000 elections, and $207,081 (62% to Republicans) so far for the 2002 elections. Pricewaterhouse Coopers contributed more than $1.1 million (76% to Republicans), and more than $500,000 (81% to the GOP) already for the 2002 elections. Overall, these companies contributed nearly $2 million in 2000, with nearly another million thus far in 2002 – more than three-quarters going to GOP federal campaigns. These millions in contributions are clearly paying off.
Any surprise that Grassley received $4000 (http://www.congress.org/congressorg/bio/fec/?commid=C00300707&page=campaigns&order=TOTAL&cycle=2003-2004) from Accenture in 2003-2004?
So that the point is not lost, the two Senators should not seek to blame certain companies from only one country for the ills of outsourcing as well as attempt to blame the H1-B program for outsourcing when globalization is the order and reality of today's world. The fact that companies such as Accenture that specialize in outsourcing are not under similar scrutiny by the same Senators even when it is common knowledge their actions have resulted in the loss of US jobs raises serious questions about the Senators agenda in tackling outsourcing and in retaining US jobs in the US

BTW, can you call and ask if you case is preadjudicated. In our case my #@$@ lawyer refuses call USCIS or allow us to initiate an SR (one of the reasons why we had no idea that we were stuck in namecheck)
ALIA post doesnt help India and China EB3's (i am EB3 too). Assuming that 50% of the people who pre adjudicated are from India with a 50-50 split between eb 2 &3. We cannot expect any movement because we have ~25k EB3's ready for approval with only 3-4k visas. Eb2's (I)could be in a slightly better situation by July '10 because of spillover from unused EB1's and EB2's. I am guessing that 12-15k EB 2's will benefit. The only sliver lining is that ROW's who had visa's available but were stuck due to processing delays will be relieved from the pain.
Hi 485Me and h1Tech,
I was trying to follow up on my RFE document submission. So, I called them up and said that the online status indicated that a decision would be made within 60 days and I am yet to receive any decision. THen she said that it's a standard message and that my case is pre-adjudicated ( meaning they have all the docs necessary to make a decision on my case ) and I should just wait for a Visa number. Hope this helps.

USCIS filing fees are a fraction of my attorney's fees. If this means faster processing, I am all for it.

After folks start getting their EAD, God alone knows how many "New" desi bodyshopper's like this will spring up.
All those so called "Enterpreneurs" a.k.a desi bodyshoppers...Perhaps if someone started a company that actually makes something rather than just contracting....more jobs, more value...
I feel everyone of us has the potential to have such a vision...after all isn't this the land of opportunities
Perhaps it is wise only to dream....
H1b body shopping is not a proper business model, these people are utilizing the loophole in the skilled immigration system and making money and become rich overnight. Once the loophole is closed, they cannot survive. They do not have a business model or skill. Same goes with the Attorneys who associate with them. In fact it will get worse for those Attorneys as big companies only go to big law firms.
Those who worked hard in their career path will never resort to such business model.
What comes easily and fast also goes away easily and fast. Lets not worry much about them.
A lot of hard working skilled workers do work with consulting companies. These people must know how to deal with these companies.
I am contracting at a Startup - since its inception, I report directly to the company's boss. I see him go through so many things trying hard to beat competition, funding, road blocks, beurocracy, lobbying for clearances, marketing, it is extremely tough to come up with innovative business modal and then survive, but the best of the best survive and make it big. People learn quickly from mistakes and work their way up the ladder.
The bodyshoppers do not go through this, they have just sprung up in thousands, figured out it is easy money. They never realised that things change and they must know how to survive these changes - and most of them wont.
It would be interesting to see how Infy, Wipro etc... will do business when $ == 32 Rs, they will start looking for offshoring to African countries where $ is cheaper.

I have several friends who were waiting for GC desparately and they thought it was the final destination. They had many reasons why to get GC and once they get, they will be free and can do / will do everything possible. But, once they got it, they settled in a permanent job. Without GC, they were working for the same client with even more pay and life was good if not better.
I was thinking the same way; because I am no different.
Oflate, I realised, I am un-necessarily worried about something which is not in my control. I realised that I am well paid, with this pay even the benefits I am not getting are compensated. Why am I worried? Should I be after GC in order to get peace of mind? I started looking it little differently. I am in this country to earn more money and live comfortably. I am already enjoying what I wanted. Then, why am I worried still? May be it is in human nature to always look for something which is not in the hands.
I still need GC for other things like Children education and get some other benefits (our education / starting business etc). I agree, but there is lot of time for that in my case. There are several people who are in the same state as me if not all. Everyone's needs are different.
I thought I will just share my ideas so that atleast some of the people will be happier.

I know many Indian students in my uni who have cheated and plagiarized and somehow graduated and then gone to these fraud consultants who applied for their h1-b.
Last year I knew at least few Desi masters students who were caught for plagiarism and suspended, but those guys/girls went to a desi fraud consultant who applied for their h1-b based on their bachelors while they were doing there their masters (they had no job, nothing) and guess what?.. they got it!
There are not many desi students at my uni, I have heard these things are very common and happen at a large scale at bigger schools. A lot them of don�t bother to really study because they know would somehow find a job and visa through a bodyshop consultant after they graduate. If these students could do a job, I think anyone in the world could do what they are doing,. no talent or skill is required!
These bodyshops consultant are just bad for everyone- for deserving students, schools and industries.
So I think bodyshops consultant should not be allowed to apply for h1-b at least.

One other solution is counting of Cap should be based on starting of employment. Then companies will not apply thousands at a time and they will apply only genuine cases when it is required. Implementation is difficult but there should be a way.
Or instead of lottery some other criteria can be applied like qualification,salary and company
Guys n Gals,
I feel your pain with regards to consulting firms, but do not blame them for your issues. I know quite a few people from top tier universities in India/US who work for consulting firms and make at least 2-3X times money than minimum required for h1b. What is wrong with working for consulting firms? Such over generalizations only display ignorance and I would advise you to stay away from it.
Best of luck with visa lottery. To alleviate your pain I think you should join hands with IV and try to make the GC process a lot faster that way you don't have to worry about H1 at all. If the provision of admin fixes where one gets to apply for 485 without visa numbers being available goes through, you can go directly from Student OPT to 485 EAD.
