    Consolidated NSC I-485 Tracker

    iak, I did read how it is a good idea to stay in a position for at least 6 more months. I will probably read up a bit more on post-I-485 forums ... However, I was more concerned about being laid off and I believe if you are laid off immediatelly after approval you are still golden :cool: . So...

    Concurrent Filing - Using Cross Chargeability

    ks_cc, thanks for the reply. We are both in the "World" category. My idea was to have 2 parallel AOS processes going ... So the cross-charge is EB3-EB2 (to allow my wife to file now as EB3 World is retrogressed pretty much the same as China and India and EB2 World is current). This may be a...

    Congratulations! Enjoy the freedom. I am particularly glad to see EB2 approval with RD from Oct 06. It shows that are moving ahead no matter how erratic.

    Concurrent Filing - Using Cross Chargeability

    CC questions ks_cc and/or other gurus, I have an EB2 application languishing at NSC for about 6 months now. My spouse's dependant I-485 has also been submitted at the same time. She is also employed and her old (2003) EB3 LC just came through from BECs. Even though it is kinda old it is...

    Consolidated NSC I-485 Tracker

    I got impatient and called my Congressman's office and asked them to enquire about the status of mine and my spouses' I485's. They were really nice (talked to couple of people in the immigration dept). First they told me that my case was within published limits by NSC and I replied that I was...

    TSC 485 Tracker Spreadsheet Only

    This totaly make sense. It still may not make much difference like NIW_Engineer said but I think in a few cases the letter or call may fall on the right ear and somebody there may make a move and speed up a thing. I guess the only downside is lost time in writing the letter and specially if you...

    Consolidated NSC I-485 Tracker

    Congrats to gcsync and dinks. When it rains it pours :-). Day started kinda crapy with going backward but several approval in one day is encouraging. cgsync, man, you did wait for I-485 AD a long time! If I understood well it was because of retrogression, not NC? All the best and enjoy it.

    Question for GC 'waiters': What will you do first when you finally get the email: I will take off from work for a drink(s), immediatelly ;) . The morning after is the new resume time, of course. Guys who got their happy emails like JW and green_ocean are also welcome to share the happy...

I have not been on this forum for a long time (even though my immigration saga starts in 2001) but it helped immenselly in these last few months. I managed to get...

    Consolidated NSC I-485 Tracker

    USCIS just updated processing times. NSC went back to June 26 from July 13 :mad: . They can just do whatever the heck they want to do and there is nothing one can do about it ... or is there?
