Our May teleconference
reviewed the current PERM Labor Certification
process, the most common way to sponsor a foreign worker for
permanent residency, known as the "green card." The mechanics and mysteries
of the PERM process were explained, including how to present a properly
completed case to the U.S. Department of Labor with the mandatory
requirements completed to facilitate success. Based on our experience with
the PERM Labor Certification process, attorneys at the Murthy Law Firm
shared recommend- ations and insights for completing this complex stage
toward an employee's green card.

Discussed in this month's
teleconference were the options open to employers who do not obtain enough
of the coveted H1B visas for their nonimmigrant employees for FY2009. We
helped employers understand their options for maintaining and augmenting
their nonimmigrant workforce using alternatives to H1B visas. We discussed a
number of other visa categories that permit the employment of foreign
nationals in the U.S. in 2008 and beyond.

Among the matters addressed in this teleconference
were: the H1B cap
and dire lack of adequate numbers; VisaGate, or employment-based priority
dates becoming available to many permanent resident seekers, and then to
everyone, and back and forth during the summer of 2007; the misnamed
substitution regulation, who can pay, labor certification expiration dates,
and more. Attorney Murthy also reported on her recent meeting with officials
at the U.S. Consulate in Chennai, India.

This teleconference in our monthly series
continued to address important matters regarding the filings of H1Bs, as well
as issues that arise after H1B applications are filed and approved. We
discussed Labor Conditions Application (LCA) requirements, compensation
for H1B workers - what may or may not be included in the compensation
package for H1B workers - the U.S. Department of Labor's public access record
requirements, and more.

This teleconference in our monthly series to guide employers and HR managers and
for the benefit of their employees addressed important matters regarding the filing of H1Bs
for the fiscal year (FY) 2009 cap season, including: meeting the

ahead, avoiding RFEs, and more.

This teleconference explored the subject of PERM
audits and how employers can prepare for them. Recently, the U.S. Department
of Labor (DOL) has increased the percentage of audits it conducts for PERM
Labor certifications. Attorneys from the Murthy Law Firm addressed some of the
more commonly raised issues, as
well as strategies to plan for and respond to audit
notifications.

November 07, 2007
This teleconference addressed some of the more
pressing questions employers had after filing I-485s in July / August 2007
for many of their employees. Many individuals had the opportunity to file their I-485
Applications for Adjustment, based on their employment-based (EB) cases. Visa retrogression
had previously prevented such filings for many of these individuals, and the
opportunity for employees to file their I-485s was unexpected. In light of
these events, employers had many questions concerning the impact the
filings of so many employees may have had on
their businesses. We at the
Murthy Law Firm addressed these matters in November's teleconference.

October 03, 2007
Attorneys from the Murthy Law Firm tackled many of the concerns
faced by employers and HR managers in our first teleconference in this
series. We
provided practical advice on how to save costs in compliance with the DOL
regulation, while still helping employees. Some areas of discussion included:
refining job
descriptions and/or developing clear verticals for specific positions, timing LC filings to
maximize cost savings for the employer, and learning to identify
a "PERM" (i.e. labor certification) process as opposed to a "non-PERM"
related process.
