LAR (Last action Rule) will not applicable in this case. It is applicaple only in change of status ( like H1B to H4 or L1B to H1B). Not in H1B to H1B. If you continously maintained H1B status, you are OK, as long as the H1B approval is valid employer2. Employer 1 or Employer 100 can file H1B, even without your knowledge. Therfore, you dont worry. As you were authorized for employer 2 for that period and you worked for them in that period, you are OK. Exlain them in detail with the evidence of H1B approval for employer 2 and pay stubs. Any way, consult an attorney.

Thanks you all for making the post and clarifying the difference between I140 substitution vs underlying labor being used. I guess in my case the approved labor was used and not I140. I have asked my previous employer to send us the revocation request for the I140 so that my MTR is much stronger. The 2 applicant to 1 labor/I140 is exactly what has happened in my case. One of you has done a very good job of explaining it.
My current lawyers are in the process of filing for MTR. I have been delayed a bit since we never got the damn letters. I have H1b until June as a backup. My wife works on EAD--should she inform her employer or she could continue since they don't know yet.
I will continue updating this thread.

Your concern is 100% justified, but BEC has vowed to clear all backlog by Sep '07.
When the dates move forward in Oct '07, you will have advantage with your PD.

I had my H1b till Nov 16, 2010 with Company1
Company2 applied for H1b transfer and it was approved as of Nov 08, 2010 ( but we didn't get any notification about it it's approval until few weeks later)
Company1 filed for H1b extension on Nov 10, 2010
I properly resigned Company1 on Nov 30, 2010 and started working with Company2 on Dec 1, 2010
Somehow Company1 didn't terminate my H1b extension and it got approved as of Jan 18, 2011.
1) Which status am I in? What decides my status?
2) Can I continue working for Company2 without any problems? Has this new approval put my transfer in jeopardy?
3) Do I need to update Company2 about Company1's extension approval?
4) Do I need to leave the Country to do any stamping?
Please help!!

Nothing succeeds without leadership and proper plans. If we go by the current rule - every one is a leader - we will learn soon 'Too many Cooks spoiled the broth'. If each person steering the boat paddles in a different direction, boat will go in circles.
Focus is the most important factor in success. Right now, I'm focussed on what's getting posted here, as I don't have anything else to focus on till I hear the next secret broadcast , which I never get.
Sales/Marketing is severely lacked in promoting State chapters. IV website does provide good info on filing 485, other forms, suggestions etc. What's the incentive in becoming a State chapter member? What are the costs vs. benefits? Unless people find benefits they'll not volunteer. It's hard to sell only 'action items'. Baits such as Free legal help, help filling Immigration forms (by experienced members) etc. may motivate people and make them sympathetic to our cause.
If we stick to 'Don't ask what we can do for you, ask what you can do for us', we won't go far with it.
This makes sense. Every individual is looking for a personal gain behind the bigger cause. Hate it if you may, but in general individual think first personal gains than for a cause unless they are big hearted. I dont think every one on IV is big hearted other than the core. Showing some personal benefit through IV would definetly trigger the individuals to volunteer more. Why people hop on to IV now is because it gives some thing personal to them ( may be for now some good immigration info which they dont get else where- that is the benefit for the individual).
I guess IV has already been doing some of the beneficial activities for the members like weekly legal clarifications /meetings, etc. May be some more of these activities that touch the personal lives would definetly bolster the participation for the bigger cause.
My 2 cents

The USCIS/DOS set quotas for visa numbers because the United States does not want to be overwhelmed with immigrants. And these quotas are spread evenly through all nations and ethnic backgrounds. Considering the populations of the "oversubscribed" nations, this is justified. I can see where the immigrants from these nations feel "discriminated against" in the fact that they receive a smaller percentage (NOT NUMBER) of visas per capita than ROW countries. This does not make the system unfair. And if you think that certain countries get special treatment, think again; there are plenty of people in ROW (like me) who have been waiting for years as well!
Yeah much of what you said is true, however when you keep harping on the words "equal" and "evenly" You are wrong. Evenly or equally implies each applicant has an equal shot at getting through in a certain period of time. That's my only beef with what you are saying.
Once again however, let me state to you that the intent of US EB immigration law is not to be fair to you or me, it is to do what is best for the employer's skilled labor shortage.(Except in a few self petition cases recognized as in the national interest.)

united nations...u have been saying what u just said for many years now. i remember ur epic fight with saras on that issue that caused u to leave immigration portal.
i think this modification of the interpretation of the law is mainly to prevent the massive loss of numbers. I think the DOS now realizes that USCIS cannot effectively handle processing of the massive release of visa numbers in the last quarter, thereby they are doing it in an incremental manner so that the demand is handled effectively (USCIS standards effectively).
I agree; the law definitively leaves no room for error. If all the visas are held back until fourth quarter then there is a significant chance that visas will go unused.
However; it isn't in uscis/dos discretion to make such decisions on a whim for process improvement.
In the orgnizations we work in; there is a big consideration whether the new project or idea is feasible in the current environment. If it isn't then the project/idea gets shelved because it's not doable. However; congress and various regulatory bodies do not give such luxury to uscis. They don't ask them if the implementation of a law or creation of a law will fit into their system or workflow.
At a high level; country quotas in EB do not make a whole lot of sense. I have tried to figure out why they are there; how companies and candidates use EB greencards. Conclusion, I came up with is that in a lot of ways EB is a way to circumvent family base immigration. Many peoples parents have greencards, brothers, sisters, friends, etc; and they realize that it takes too long to get greencard through family base and the fastest way is to come through h-1b and go through EB route. Also; companies; company owners will favor their own people in filing h-1b's and greencards and then you have a situation where certain people are favored due to their nationality or connection. I firmly believe that uscis and the regulatory authorities understand this and hence the reason why there is country quotas.

Are you sure it is possible to sponsor your nieces, uncles etc if you are permanent resident? Don't you have to be a citizen to do that? I always thought you have to be a citizen to do that.

Apologize for extending the topic....but one of the 'still open' question is what if the Second Employer H1B is 'NEW' and what if it is 'Transfer'.
Murthy document does not say about the Company B H1B is NEW or TRANSFERRED.
If New H1B and Transferred H1B are same....then problem is solved.
Many of you here said both are same. I assume so too. But, we haven't proved Gapala is wrong yet (no hard feelings gapala. it is not my intention to hurt you). if 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are different, Murthy should have mentioned in her Document, but she did not do that. So, can we safely assume, that 'NEW and TRANSFERRED' are same.
Thank you everyone who responding to my post.

Each H1B Employer Must File a New H1B Petition
.................................................. ............................................... When an H1B employee wants to change employers in the United States, the prospective new employer must first file a new H1B petition. Although many people refer to this as an H1B "transfer," there is no separate transfer procedure under law. Each H1B is employer-specific and requires the filing of a new H1B petition and an approval from the USCIS to work for the new H1B employer.

Major reform is "not viable in this Congress," added Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, chairwoman of the House Judiciary subcommittee on immigration. (http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_7437469)
There is also opposition to consider piecemeal options which treat legal immigration reform separately.
I am generally a very optimistic person but not seeing whats really viable this year.
I understand that IV is looking into other angles as well. Once again not sure.
Can IV core comment about what our realistic chances are?
Please dont answer "Join your state chapters". I am already a state chapter member.
I don't think it's possible to comment on 'realistic' chances...compred to 2008 there will be better rewards for the same amount of effort.
Because it is a election year people/politicians will focus more on "popular" bills that will draw real voters. Now they are still in 'fund raising' mode and they may have to budge a bit for the corporation monies...
To be honest with you, No matter what the chances are what the IV core will comment on this issue, it's for us to think whether there is a better option than 'not acting now'?

I gave all my signed I485/G28/I325/I765/I131/693/Photos forms by June 8th. They filed mine on June 27th. They reviewed it for 17 days.
They never attend email or calls. Hope mine gets accepted.
I don't think Berry Appleman is a good firm, they took 30 days for all people to prepare simple docs for I 485 which takes 2 hours for us to prepare and they never respond to calls and email.
