    US citizenship question

    boatbod: I like your strategy and glad to know that you were successful. I am in the process of setting up a business in the U.S. For business and personal reasons, my wife and I plan to spend at least 2 out of my 5 years in my home country (at different intervals never exceeding six months)...

    If you are from Rest of the World and can apply in EB2 through PERM, I would recommend you do it without delay. Even PERM takes at least three months and who knows what the retrogression situation will be in three months. Just remember, you cannot use the experience used in the same firm towards...

    I recently gave up and changed jobs (joined the new company a week before the letter was sent). My previous employer had informed me that they would withdraw my old LC. I was not even expecting anything from PBEC. I don't plan to follow up on this NOF unless the attorney sends them something on...

    GC not a birthright

    Who said GC is a birth right? All we want is a timely decision on our GC application...is that too much to ask for?

    Question on EB3-> EB2

    marlong2006, If your I-140 is approved then go ahead and apply for EB-2 PERM LC. You are allowed to take your priority date with you since your I-140 is already approved. Since your PD is 04/2002, there is very little chance of EB-2 getting retrogressed back to 04/2002. Also, the pending...

    I think I may have something to do with it. I sent an email to John Beverly and Stephen Stefanko this morning about this. Within hours the correction appeared on the web site.

    cantstandit: I got similar kind of crap when I shot an email to Stefanko and cc'd it to Chao and all the bastards in the DOL hierarchy...the response I got was that all RIR will be cleared by 09/2006 and all the TRs will be approved by 09/2007. These are the official dates and we need to...

    I have come to learn two things from somewhere. Don't ask me from where and you guys don't have to believe me as I myself have little faith in it. I am hopeful though that it may come true. 1) The BEC has set a goal to process ALL cases by 09/2007. 2) Current plan calls for processing ALL...

    sbdol, I am afraid that somebody at PBEC might actually read your recommendations and implement them...:) What they are doing right now is not too far from what you have suggested... This whole LC process is a joke. Legally, I am supposed to accept the five year old entry level job once I...

    Hello aprlc2002, Good to hear from you after so many days. Do they plan to clear all the high-priority cases upto 2005 and then start low priority cases from 2001. Isn't priority established by "Priority Date"? It shouldn't have anything to do with actual skills and experience then why are...
