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.

Unless you are getting your mother-in-law to the US before you get your GC, it may become a factor but otherwise, it will have no issue

Hello
Thank you for your time and I appreciate your effort.
Scenario:
I have two Approved I-140s (both filed by same company).
• Filed I-140 & I-485 concurrently with a PD of Nov 2007 (Original Labor) - I-140 Approved and I-485 Pending
• Filed I-140 with PD March 2005 (Substitution Labor) - I-140 Approved.
Questions:
1. I would greatly appreciate if you can let me know what are my options and any relative information (Letter formats etc.)
2. Can Info-Pass work instead of writing to USCIS?
1) Send letters to the service center explaining your situation and the priority dates + 140 approval LIN#(NSC) or WAC# or whichever approval numbers you have. You need to stress that your dates are current and that your AOS applications have to be approved based on the current 140 (irrespective of which approved 140, the 485 apps were filed).
2) Send faxes same as the letter.
3) Call the NSC/TSC IOs. (If you reach the national customer service center, no luck).
4) Take Infopass.
One of the above options will work.

Hi,
My wife got her H1B in Oct 2008. But could not work until date.
We want to get her H1B transferred back to H4. There are NO pay stubs for her.
I am on H1B with job. And I have my pay stubs.
Will there be any problem in her H1B to H4 transfer without her pay stubs ?
Thank you.
Dont worry pokiri, just apply for trasnfer thru lawyer. My friend recently did it for his wife. She got H1 to H4 in 2 months without any RFEs. She did not work after she got her H1 in 2007 April and she don't have pay stubs.

Anyone of you who has been fingerprinted and had interview with USCIS,
How long did you take to be given a schedued appointment for interview after the fingerprint? Did you have an interview right after the fingerprint?
Is that possible to have it both on the same day?
I am asking you because I would like to travel outside of the country with AP as soon as I have my fingerprint done.
If I would be nortified of the interview date right after the figerprint, I would rather stay to finish everything before travel. That way, I won't cause any troubles, right?
Thanks

Hi,
My wife's AP is expiring in mid of October 2010. I am going to apply for her new AP before she travels to India in the 3rd week of July. Is there any issue if she comes back with the new AP? As the renewed AP will be received while she is in India. She will leave with her existing AP and enter back (lets say in Nov 2010) with newly renewed AP.
Please guide.

stupid troll...
"Last year October I went to vacation in India and transfer my visa from L1 to H1B status and got stamped and enter USA with new visa status" - IS THIS EVEN POSSIBLE?
At least last October, they had client letter enforcement in place, it was impossible to have this kind of stupid transfers.
Do you think the group members are idiots? These stupid people post the message, get some stupid replies from their troll puppets and they post it on other anti-immi, rac*** forums to badmouth IV. Shame on you.. Instead of using such cheap tacticts, enhance your skills and COMPETE...

I don't think one can open a account from india in US bank. However i had visited a website which says that anyone in the world can do business from USA. I tried it but did not.
I am in H1B and i opened a business account in USA. The procedure is to get a fititcious businesss name from the citi and open a account in any of the banks. Later apply for a business license from the city. Every year you will have to file tax return (i do it on the month of december). It is very easy and consulars help over there. Additionally you have a advantage to talk to any of the SCORE/SBA members and improve your business.
Regarding opening a business account, Wells fargo charges $10/- every month and later if you talk to them about low activity account they will charge you $8/- per month. Citibank needs a lot of information and they charge $10/- a month. I had avoided citibank after spending 3 hours interacting with the teller. The best is Washington Mutual (which is Chase now). there is no charge and i think they need atleast one transaction every year.
Hope this helps.

I believe that would fall under "contemporary art".....you know, something a very wealthy person would read waaaay too much into and spend an ungodly amount of money for. ;)
Maybe if it were wolf tracks or bears or something dangerous.

U r absolutely right........ i have heard ppl saying they are willing to transfer H-1B's but they say they wont process GC............. This is just un believable.......... I guess the whole idea is to recycle ppl after every 6 years..........
Then where is the rush for GCs coming from?
Wipro/ Infy /CTS/ TCS process max chunk of H1bs ( I believe atleast 90% employed with them are Indians...) If these companies are not processing GCs then where is the rush for GCs coming from?

I've recently filed my 485.
In my labor and I140 I have my job title as ' Data ware house architect'.
My H1 says 'Programmer Analyst'. So while applying my 485 I menationed my current occupation as 'Programmer Analyst', which is different from what my labor and 140 says.Will this create any problem?
Please advise.

Victim of bodyshopper?? Never say that dude, are you forced to join? Its your choice when there is no other choice or hope. A so called bodyshopper is your last resort before packing your bags when you are thrown out. All the bodyshoppers are same it may IBM or a desi company.
After lay off in 01, i joined a desi firm and i'm happy with my employer.

FYI, company B is a consulting company
Thanks
