    I-140 after BEC: How, what, when, where ...

    I agree with you Gamin786, I agree with you but as per my lawyer that is just theory. He says premium cases are scrutinised more closely as compared to regular cases. I don't agree with him and feel the same as you do.

    What's the difference between "Prevailing" and "Proferred" wage? Its a relief to know that there are other one person companies around like mine where people are seeking Green Cards. I have been struggling with the "Ability to Pay" guidelines from USCIS to find out if my I-140 may get...

    H1B extension If you don't have an approved I-140, your H-1B extensions will be for 1 year each time you extend. This also means that your LCA (Labor Condition Application) should be for 1 year although I don't remember if an LCA also has an expiry date. My understanding is that everytime you...

    Yep...still hanging in Yes, still hanging in there. Haven't seen UscisIsMockery for quite sometime. I guess, when he saw some legitimacy in the functioning of the BECs he decided to wait like us. Sorry to hear about your case. Great to hear that you made the best out of your situation and...
