Let's say there is a problem. What can you do to fix it? You want to start GC fresh?
Relax... I have seen many people who bought PDs from consultants paying 10k and got GCs too. Don't worry. If you post these kind of threads, it make people waiting for years more frustrating. Be happy for your luck. Go chill. Don't keep saying you are afraid and all.




I can empathize. I might me more luckier than you, and there are people *luckier* than me. (You know what I mean..) But, if for some reason I don't get my GC, and you get your GC in a few years, me being lucky to start with is of no use. Nothing is sure till GC is on-hand for anyone.

So, I would appreciate if someone could let me know if there are any disadvantages process-wise when it comes to I-485 adjudication on a pre-approved labor.

Thanks.

You are saying ur PD was Sec 2005? Mine is Dec 2005. Should I also expect it sometime soon :)?

If it is Dec 2005 you must be from non-retro and going by the many approvals for non-retro, you should certainly expect it soon (especially if other checks are complete)

there is no strive in senate....what r they goona debate? I don't think they are going to discuss other than circus if at all they do

Yep, true. But, sounds like there's just too many Bills floating around, this year!

At this time ONLY 30% of EB2 Indians have current PDs. I've asked this question before - don't you all think that maybe dates will not have to retrogress again? I mean, 30% is too low a percentage for triggering a backward movement of PD.

Any thoughts?

Seems like a good guess to me. In fact, EB-2-India might move forward.

Anything you will take for your H1 stamping + documents to prove that she is your wife. Her H4 status depends on your H1 status, your relationship and your ability to support her.

Thanks for your reply, but she will go alone for stamping and we have applied I-485, ap,ead on july 2nd. so is there any problem for visa stampling if our I-485 is pending.

lol..

I think we all shud send our customer service experiences to USCIS and DHS leadership..we need to make a note of Agent IDs in the beginning..

atleast then they will feel a pinch to improve customer service (didnt they say that this is also one of the reason for fee hikes last year?/ ) :D:D

I think right now the customer service/info pass people are just saying whatever comes to their mouth at that point of time or what they can see on their monitors. They do not research into the case at all. To me that is not customer service at all. Rather it is a disservice in the sense that I got nothing but confusions from them. I still do not know where my case is right now in CSC or TSC. I got three different answers to the same question. The interesting thing is that on talking to the customer service (who said my case is still in CSC), I argued and said that CSC says that it is back in TSC, the reply was, "so it must be in TSC ". In other words, she repeated my own words.

invincibleasian :

Could you please share your experience with FOIA application for I-140. Did you finally get the copy ?
Also, what all document you need to apply for it ?

I am planning to do that since my employer denied me for getting I-140 copy.

Appreciate your resposne.

EB1 is typically for Phds with solid publications behind their belts.

In some cases the individual can sponsor himself without an employer as such people are considered a good value add to the US. In other cases, an employer has to have a bonafide job opening requiring such skills (mostly professors, research, etc.,). These people are usually given their Green cards in ceremonies unlike EB2/EB3 where the card is mailed out in a USPS envelope.

There is also an easy way. In some companies in India, people with 5-6 years of experience are promoted to Project manager roles and have a group of people reporting to them. If this company transfers them to the US to continue the same role, they become eligible for EB1. So in a typical case,

complete education at age 22 and join company x as a software engineer
get promoted to Project manager at age 27 (5 years later)
come to the US at age 28 ( a year later)
apply for GC on EB1 (directly apply for 140/485 as there is no Labor required and also PDs are current)
get GC at age 29

you are all set...get married, buy the mini-van (Odyssey or Sienna), perhaps open a India/Pakistan grocery store on the side which rents out pirated DVDs of desi movies and enjoy life!

I know you are being pointedly sarcastic at a section of green card applicants but Project Managers are not eligible for EB1. (Don't give that section any bright ideas) Only multi-national executives (VP and above are)
in addition to researchers who have exceptional track-record (no, publishing papers in IEEE digest doesn't count)

Haven't heard of EB1s getting GC in ceremonies. After all the little piece of plastic is not an award of merit or anything (even though lot of us seem to think so :D)

I think you must have a valid H1B stamped in your passport to get H4 stamp for your wife.

I am in the same boat (completing a decade of career in US). Can they hire you as a consulting PM so you can still stay with your current employer?

Did any one heard of EB3 India 485 Approved after June 26? Looks like EB3 visa numbers for this quarter for India is exhausted! If so then who many will be available in next quarter?

When will the 40K unused EB quota of visa numbers will be available /open? In mid September? Can any of the Gurus explain this?


My friend took info-pass and he was told that the EB3 India visa numbers are over for now and his case may be approved in next quota.

Looks like the first 40K in the 485 queue whose processing is done will get there 485�s approved in late September.


For some one like me who files 485 in June chances of approval in this year is less.:confused:


I just want to set the expectations real so that we will not be subjected to perpetual checking of online LUD/Status, forums and also avoid huge disappointment.

You can get the passport the same day using tatkaal service but you need to spend the whole day in consulate or you can get it in 3 days.

I got it from NY consulate. Also tatkaal service charges 140 bucks and regular one is 40 bucks.

I got it in a week, I got it from SF Consulate.

I am not aginst the OP or generalizing the B1 abuse. I am stating my opinion of what could be the reason behind the denial. You know, now a days even people are getting 221g for the H4 stamping. It does not matter what visa you are going for, the US consulates just looking for a execuse to reject. Not only in India, there are lot of people getting 221g in Canada, and got stuck up there.

I agree with you that these days it is really hard to get any kind of visa the inherent intent is to deny. I also happen to know of acase first hand where H4 was denied (E-E Memo).

Here's what uscis said...

I would not advise people to move to UK without a job offer either. I read in the documents that the VISA is granted for 2 years.

Your spouse was in US when your application reached USCIS so you should be fine.

Am I in the same situation? My spouse left US today to INDIA. However we filled the 485 on July 2nd. Will they consider that as abandonment of the application?

This is correct as per my understanding. As soon as your GC is approved you will need AP to re-enter US. IO at POE will have the information about your approved GC. I do not think he will allow you to enter on H4 after the GC Approval.

This is just my understanding. Check with a attorney to get precise information.

This is what my attorney has said too. I will double check with my employer attorney as well.

I like the idea. But, when I had raised a similar issue before, some member called it "like begging at Indian Temples".

I know we Indians are very happy as long as something is free, but get very upset when some contribution is asked for the service.

Hi
I wanted to know how long it took for I-140 approval. I also got Labor by PERM filed in Dec05 and will be filing I-140, EB2.

Thanks

When was your H1-B amendment denied?
What is your current LCA salary vs. original LCA Salary?
