Hi,
Do you think the lottery will take place for 2010 year H-1B filing?
zero I think...
H1 filing follows the general employment scene, and with the current employment levels, and the relatively low levels of recovery being seen so far, the chance of a lottery seems almost nil....
H1s for last year ran out just last week, why would 65k cases show up within a day just 3 months later?
However I dont expect it to last till December 2010 like it did this year. Employment is going to slowly improve going forward, TARP H1 hiring restrictons dont apply to many banks...

Folks,
I am on my 6th year of H1B. My current H1 expires mid August 2009.
My PERM was filed in May 2008 and was approved in Dec 2008.
My I-140 is applied and pending. I work for an american consulting company.
Naturally, I dont have an EAD as yet.
Based on my PERM approval and 365 day rule, I know I can extend my current H1 for 1 year.
(planning to do this ASAP).
Here is my question:
- My current client contract will get terminated soon. If my current GC sponsoring company decides to terminate my employment (due to project non-availability), can i transfer my extended H1B to another employer?
In other words, is an extension H1 (7th year and beyond) similar to regular H1 (first 6 years) in regards to invoke the "transfer" rule between eligible employers? or is it tied to GC sponsoring employer?
- By doing so, do I abandon my GC application (i think i will, but general clarification) ?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated,
LT

It's an interesting image with an odd contrast: the curly branches and stuff almost look evil, but the concrete path looks civil and inviting. ;)
