Apple,
As someone else mentioned earlier on this thread, your best bet is to counter-sue the party for >$3.25 M. Hire an attorney on contingency, i.e: you'll agree to a minimal base professional fees, say 5-10k and the rest of the cost of running this litigation will be incurred by your attorney. If you guys get a favorable outcome then say 25-75% of the $s won on this suit will be retained by your attorney to cover for his/her cost, etc.
In a case like this, it is quite possible for you to hire someone on a contingency basis.

I'm sure there are some intelligent and caring lawmakers somewhere who listen to legal immigrants' plight. They don't seem to be in enough or meaningful numbers. Most are interested in either keeping their seats or serving a subsection of their community.
Again, I believe they are moved mostly by lobbyists and other power groups. I don't yet fully understand how much power IV can wield, but IV could be one such group.
Lawmakers care about high-skilled immigrants only because people like B. Gates, Compete America and such keep lobbying any and all the time.
BTW, I'm not at all short-sighted about this. I'm just more realistic about how things happen in Washington. Need proof: For example, look at the staffers on McCain's campaign. Most are lobbyists. Understanding how democracy works in America and commenting about it is what the real big picture is.

Calling does help in many ways. People have to think positive rather than berating an effort.
Based on the original post, I infer that lawmakers won't care if they receive calls from LEGAL Aliens. If that is the logic then why do you think that lawmakers will work on "immigration" bills. After all the "immigration" bills only benefit folks who don't vote immediately. But one of lawmakers duty is to build the next generation America, and "immigration" bills benefit next generation America. People got to understand this fundamental difference and stop being pessimistic about IV efforts.
Directly talking to lawmakers office (through phone or in person) is far more effective than Web faxes and digital signatures.
I just cannot understand how high-skilled folks can be so short sighted, Look at the big picture.

The following are clear cut abuses.
I want to give some fraud and abuse examples. Unfortunately, there are some bad apples in the H-1B visa program.
In 2005, a man was charged with fraud and misuse of visas, money laundering, and mail fraud for his participation in a multistate scam to smuggle Indian and Pakistani nationals into the United States with fraudulently obtained H-1B visas. The man created fictitious companies, often renting only a cubicle simply to have a mailing address. He fabricated tax returns and submitted over 1,000 false visa petitions.
Another man pled guilty last August to charges of fraud and conspiracy. This man and an attorney charged foreign nationals thousands of dollars to fraudulently obtain H-1B visas. He provided false documents to substantiate their H-1B petitions.
Also, an Indian outsourcing company was fined by DOL for paying lower wages. Another example of clear cut fraud.
I am also anxiously awaiting this report.
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service is also worried about fraud in the program. This agency's investigative arm, that subdivision called the Fraud Detection and National Security unit, is doing a fraud assessment of the H-1B and L visa programs. I asked the unit to brief my staff on their work, and they reported they are not finished with analyzing the data. Senator Collins of Maine and I put the agency on notice that we are anxiously awaiting this report so we may continue our quest to reform the program appropriately.
The questions are
What is a fraud?
How will yo detect a fraud?
How many companies are commiting fraud?
How many workers are involved in fraud?
Remember, they are not interested in benefit for worker. That is, something that is a problem for worker (kind of issues mentioned in this thread) are not of interest to them.

there are two factors here:
1. Regarding consultant coming to US. As employer told he does not have bonafide job offer. he is at 0% fault and consultant 100%.
2. Regarding paying for h1b fee. employer obviously did not make money here but he was not supposed to take money from consultant.
it's all about greed on both sides.

We are not planning on asking members to pay immediately. It is a form of commitment from our members to the amount they are giong to donate.
Once we get an expert advise on how to channelize these funds to the IV core team, we will request everyone who pledged to pay out.
Please hold off. We need to figure out how this part of the drive will be structured in terms of reimbursement for the Core members.

* AILA�s Business Litigation Comm. Re: Neufeld memo*by*H-1 Cap Blog (http://www.h1cap.com/?p=121)
The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) has a Business Litigation Committee (BLC) and we met this week and the hot topic of discussion was the recently released Neufeld memo. There is a strong belief that the memo was issued in violation of the Administrative Procedures Act. There is also the belief that the memo violates long-standing precedent and established law. It is believed that there are numerous industry groups as well as individual companies that may be pursuing litigation on this matter. The BLC is in the process of working with the American Immigration Council to create a special section within its clearinghouse service http://www.legalactioncenter.org/litigation-clearinghouse (http://www.h1cap.com/blocked::http://www.legalactioncenter.org/litigation-clearinghouse) specifically dedicated to collecting and posting relevant documents and information on this issue. This will allow all interested parties to be kept up to date on efforts being made to address this policy. We are looking for information regarding actual litigation as well as significant meetings, letters, etc. to USCIS officials as well as Congressional members on this topic. We will then organize the relevant documentation and make it available for access by others. If you are interested in participating in this clearinghouse effort, please keep us updated on your efforts. contact mfh@hammondlawfirm.com for additional info.
Any update on this? Any legal update?
It seems no one is talking about this memo anymore.

is not right.
The hardships we have chosen to enter united states and struggle here is of our own choice. It was an option. You can come to office at 9:00AM and leave by 6:00PM. No body asks you to stay late unless you work for a consultant. No body asks you to relocate unless you again work for a consultant.
You could easily get a legal immigration if you opt an easier path 'Marry a local'. So, again you have opted a hard way of going through labor certs, I-140, I-48 etc.
We all have options and it depends what you choose.
Just because few centuries ago someone entered this promised land just like that, you can't expect that to be existing now or atleast a modified version of it now.
Again, i believe the immigration system can be improved only if senators can taken into confidence about our hardships. Striking the way illegal mexicans did and or raising slogans like 'immigration is a right and not a privillege' may play against us.
just my 2 paise.

i am working on H1B and my wife is on H4, she was not included in 485 yet so she is not having EAD, can i change status from H1B to EAD, please advice.
Let's assume you used EAD and lost H1B status.What will happen to your wife's status?She may loose H4 status because you are no longer in H1B status.I guess it may be better for you to stick with H1B.I may be wrong , take professional help

I see only one problem in this logic! Many cases I know of, at least from the 2007 H1B fiasco, paid for the H1Bs through consulting companies FROM THEIR POCKETS. So to answer your question as to why companies would spend $5000 in anticipation, is that they don't. They take it from the applicant. (again I am not saying all do, but there are abusive companies that do).
No cap on visa numbers will never fly... No political environment will be conducive to bringing in unlimited foreign workers without any restrictions. L1 has no caps because it is very difficult to qualify for an L1 visa, as far as I know. If caps in H1 are removed, you can bet there will be severe restrictions imposed on other aspects of the program.
That's right. I personally know people who have been asked to pay INR 250K (About $6K) to get their H1B done. So the companies have nothing to lose. They just want to have an upper hand with readily available supply of H1B workers if and when an American client is looking for a consultant.
They do this without spending a penny from their pocket and sometimes even make profit just by sponsoring H1Bs for people in India.
As a result, genuine visa seekers are denied a chance to get in and start working right away.
