If the H1 - transfer gets denied, isn't there an option of filling a appeal? I guess, one has 15 days to get out of the country, but he or she ca file & appeal & stay in the country but cannot work...
Pls. correct me if I am wrong...

Hi,
This is my case:
1. Came to States on H1B in Jan 2005 thru company A. Worked with company A till July 2005
2. Successfully transferred H1B to company B. Started working with them from July 2005. New I 797 was valid till July 2008. Filed for H1b Ext with company B in Feb 2008.
3. Came to visit India in May 2008 and also to stamp the H1b which was valid till July 2008 thru company B. Got RFE in Indian consulate in Bombay on June 2008 so couldnt travelled back to States.
4. RFE got cleared in Aug 2008 and by that time my H1B expired. Company B received an RFE on H1B extension. They said they cant reply for some reasons and they withdrew the application.
5. In Dec 2008, I filed for H1b extension from company C. Got an RFE to prove the legal status on H1B ext.
Please suggest, what are the chances of getting an approval. I know its little trickier but a straight forward case.
Regards

Congress.org - News : Why Bill Gates cares about immigration (http://www.congress.org/news/2010/05/24/why_bill_gates_cares_about_immigration)
Why Bill Gates cares about immigration
Foreign workers have a stake in fight to change laws.
Activists on both sides of the immigration debate tend to focus on the millions of illegal immigrants whose fate rests on whether Congress passed a law.
But foreigners here legally also have a stake in this fight.
The U.S. issues temporary worker visas, called H-1B after their official classification, to thousands of non-residents each year. Often, they hold college degrees and have technical skills.
Microsoft and other technology companies hire many workers this way. They often have to prove they can't hire skilled U.S. citizens to fill those jobs first.
Bill Gates wrote in the Washington Post several years back that there is an employment gap that H-1B visas help fill:
This issue has reached a crisis point. Computer science employment is growing by nearly 100,000 jobs annually. But at the same time studies show that there is a dramatic decline in the number of students graduating with computer science degrees.
The United States provides 65,000 temporary H-1B visas each year to make up this shortfall -- not nearly enough to fill open technical positions.
H-1B workers, who have united under grassroots groups like Immigration Voice , want more than just an increase in visas. They want the government to streamline the rules.
Currently, the workers have to apply for green cards through their employers, often a lengthy and cumbersome process. They can't switch jobs easily and sometimes have to reapply for a visa even if they move jobs within the same company. They have to leave the country every few years before they can reapply for a visa.
The workers can also apply for a spouse to come to the U.S., but their partners are not allowed to work under the H-4 status granted to them. The activists argue that those individuals represent a skilled base of workers who could contribute to the U.S. economy and help pay for household expenses.
Powerful corporations back the H-1 B workers in their demands, since it would make it easier for them to hire skilled workers. But groups like Numbers USA argue that those companies shouldn't hire non-residents at a time when many Americans are jobless.

Could you point me to chapter and verse from some official DOL or USCIS website?

Do we need to follow any process to convert from H1 to EAD? Or just apply for jobs using EAD?
you can apply for jobs using EAD, when you join the company on the I-9 form note that you are on EAD and provide the details there.

Silicon Valley Immigration Lawyer Blog Has Just Posted the Following:
A quick review of the list of largest H-1B (http://www.geelaw.com/lawyer-attorney-1054805.html)users for FY 2009 shows high tech and Silicon Valley topping the list. The top users of the H-1B program for 2009 included multi-national technology companies headquartered, and with branch offices in Silicon Valley. Wipro tops the list with 1,964 new H-1B visas. Microsoft is second with 1318, but then Intel Corp has a big drop off at 723 H-1B's The list of Silicon Valley companies continues, including Infosys Technologies (440), Qualcomm (320), Cisco (308), Oracle (272), Google (211), Yahoo (183), Apple (168), Nvidia (130), and Hewlett Packard (115). While there is no way to know whether these companies sponsored employees located in Silicon Valley, as opposed to another office location, it is clear that high-tech and Silicon Valley are standouts on the list of H-1B employers.
Those who assume the H-1B is a tool used primarily by IT companies may be surprised to see the number of prestigious universities and medical facilities also nearing the top of the list. H-1B visas are work visas for professional workers who typically require at least a Bachelor's degree for entry into their profession. This includes teachers, professors, doctors, and scientists in addition to engineers.
The first two pages of the list are below:

Friends,
A unique situation -
I am getting ready to apply for my wife's AOS (ROW). She has never used a last name on any legal documents, example birth certificate, passport.
Her H4 visa was processed with "FNU" - family name unknown .. Do I need a last name for filing her I-485? Can she get a GC with only her first name on it?
Or will they process it with FNU as last name...
Should i go to her embassy (Indonesia) and get her passport changed to my last name before applying for her 485? In that event, her H4 visa,passport and birth certificate will not match her passport..
Any thoughts on my situation?
I guess, nobody really knows the answer. If she does not have a last name and all she uses is her first name, it should be alright. Since all her legal documents- Birth certificate, Passport, DL, Bank Statements have this legal first name only. If she now wants to use your family, last name after getting married, that could also be done. You should really consult your lawyer on this one. Please do not use any advice from this forum as legal or valid.

Here is my suggestion:
Apply for H-4 as this should be straight-forward and fly your wife the US in March. Prepare H-1 papers and get it ready to reach USCIS on April 1st.
If H-1 is acceped in lottery(assuming there is going to be one), then H-1 status starts from October 1st. For travel purpose your wife will have to get H-1 stamping (which can happen only after October 1st).
Hope this helps.
If am in your situation, i will go with the above approach...

I am on my 2nd phase of H1B visa which is valid until 2012.
I want to quit my job and go back to my home country.
How long after I quit my job do I get to stay here to wrap up and ship my stuff??
Does that jeopardize my status? I plan to be here for about 30 days after quitting my job. WOuld that be ok? or is it overstaying?
If I ever need to apply for a tourist visa in future will this jeopardize my chances of getting a visa then?
Thank you!

I mean stay on L1A (7 Year) with existing company. Apply green card through company B OR any other (For applying grren card, you don't need to be employee of that firm). Switch job as soon as you get I140 (premium process) approved from B company. If everything goes well, One year is enough to get I140 approval through premium process.
