Unfortunately, Emily Neumann does not allow free commenting on her blogsite. So here is a copy of question, her response and my follow-up:
Oh yeah?? So much for sincerity…why doesnt ITServe publish all
of the videos that were out there on youtube before they were made
public or why are the Member directory and all the other session
information links and in fact all links disappear suddenly ? Magic?
Every single one of us has seen your duplicitous partner, your employer
clients, and everything that was suggested to the employers….Your
partner actually said “There is no legal basis for putting the dates for
EB2 at Jul 2011” and wanted the employers to collect money to
lobby/file lawsuits. SHAME ON YOU. SHAME ON RAHUL REDDY and SHAME on
RNLAWGROUP. If you had any semblance of humanity and Shame, disassociate
with Rahul Reddy and Publicly come out against the morally corrupt
practices you and your lawfirm are engaging in and publish all the
“context” videos on your site. SHAME SHAME SHAME.
As far as I know, ITServe has been posting all of its videos
for the last 6 years. I don’t think they should have removed them, but
it was a knee-jerk reaction.
“There is no legal basis for putting the dates for EB2 at Jul 2011” –
this is a 100% true statement. It doesn’t mean that he was against
putting the dates to July 2011, his comment was to raise the question on
where that particular date came from. Why July 2011?
The potential lawsuit discussed was regarding the Matter of Simieo
Solutions guidance that had just been issued on July 21, 2015. Had that
lawsuit been filed, it would have been to the benefit of H-1B employers,
but also H-1B employees that move to different job sites. Every time an
amendment is filed, there is a new potential for USCIS to find fault,
issue an RFE, or even deny the H-1B. Workers are constantly left
insecure wondering if the next amendment might get denied, delaying
travel because the amendment is still pending, having to try to convince
someone at the client site to issue a letter on their behalf. The group
has not filed any lawsuit, and instead sent letters to USCIS pushing
for the decision to be reversed.
But, a person convinced against their will is of the same opinion still.
I’m sure your mind is made up, regardless of what I say or do.
My comments:
1. Since you consult with ITServe, can you request them to please put the videos back
2. Of course Mr. Reddy was against putting dates to July 2011. There are two issues discussed in the videos and you are conflating them. Yes there was a discussion about the H1b amendment, but that was an aside. The focus was on the visa bulletin that allowed the new filing dates. Mr. Reddy and Mr.Manduva specify that if they let it hold then the employees will leave in 1 year instead of 5 years. How can this statement be w.r.t to the Simieo Solutions Case ?
3. In the video, Mr. Satish Manduva, specifically mentions that TechServe (in alliance with ITServe) is filing the lawsuit. So you are being bit specious when you say that "this" group has not filed a lawsuit.
4. I don't think it is a question of a person convinced against their will. It might very well be the case that you have done an excellent job in last few years and are completely unaware of how your partner Mr. Rahul Reddy is working. if that is true, may be you are better of breaking this partnership.
