AOS interview for wife My wife just had her interview today in San Jose, CA. The reason for the interview was that her fingerprints were rejected for the second time. We have been asked to get police clearance certificates from places where we lived the last 5 years (both US and India) and...

485 Approval even though priority date not current My colleague just received his 485 approval 2 days ago even though he is EB3 India with priority date in April 2002. Based on that, I was hoping EB3 India would move significantly forward in the April Visa Bulletin. All hopes dashed :(...

CSC rejecting 140/485 concurrent filing with EB3 sub ? My lawyers told me that last week, they received rejection from CSC for concurrently filed I-140 and I-485 filed with EB3 substitute labor certificate on grounds of unavailability of visa numbers. The PD on the substitute labor certificate...
