I just saw some very good comments from Indians:
I heard the argument by that ahole employer who said preregistration wudnt
be fair since employers put significant time and effort to file the perm and
the 140..& the the employee can just leave...
....I feel his argument was fundamentally flawed...as preregistration will
hurt only those employers who are hiring with the intent of holding on to
cheap labor..and this goes against the spirit of the regulation to begin
with...
...the reality is that preregistration would allow mobility and this will
boost the employees morale and his productivity....
What employer wouldn't want that???
Besides if the employer is right and has a clear career path laid out (a
well run firm)...then they should have no trouble retaining talent...
I feel all USCIS decisions and processes are quite fair and it isn't that
easy for some jackass with a shallow argument to influence them...so
basically we don't need to worry...140EAD is a done deal

to guru4life:
True. The employer who raised this objection should have been pointed out in
the call. We can infer from the employers question that he will treat ROW
employees and employee's from India/China differently as he doesn't have
immigration hold for long on ROW employees whereas he can use immigration to
hold back India/China employees progress and salary.
This attitude can be seen to create different work situation for employee's
from India/China. Which is against labor laws. That employer can be taken to
task for asking such biased questions.
Providing mobility through pre-regitration only balances the scales. It
doesn't provide employees from India/China any undue advantages.
