    getting a green card

    8 years is a long time... Are they going to draw a contract? Sounds funky. You need them to be a sponsor, but that's for what they demand 8 years, right?

    Primary approved, secondary transferred to Chicago

    Hey, I have an update for my case. We transferred to San Francisco (job transfer after I got my GC - same company though). So on July first we filed the request to transfer the case from Chicago to SF. The case got into SF at 7/21/2006. Since then I was checking everymonth with local office...

    EB Based AOS Interview at Newark, please provide your inputs

    These transfer forums are very quiet... I assume people get interviews, get approved and move on. I am waiting for the interview notice for my wife, so I can't share any experiences yet. But so far the local office is a joke. Case was transferred couple month ago. So far - nothing... If your...

    Need advice...

    LCA does not include second location. I will look into getting a new LCA for second location. That should be easy. And in the JULY I am kicking in the door of local INS office to request EAD for my wife. The company not very big, used to be 150 people, now only 50. And they do not have...

    Need advice...

    Thank you, Real Canadian. That gives me some comfort. Saigc, since the owners of the company did not change (second location), they see it as internal transfer. I was looking into our options such as not working or transfering H1-B until I found out, that my wife is working for second location...

    Philadelphia Backlog Elimination Center Tracking

    RIR, State IL Filed in October 2004. Did not make it to regional. Did not get any case number or acknowledgment. All I got is this "no good" 45 day letter on 5/15/06. Replied to withdraw the case. Just FYI.

    Primary approved, secondary transferred to Chicago

    Knowing how long case can be stuck in local office, we filed Employment Permit application on 4/14/06. Before filing, I called to NSC(I am positive I got trasferred there from USCIS customer service). I asked the officer where should we file the I-765 application. He said NSC. Well month later...

    EB2 485: Pls post here

    I believe it is easier for them to request for status papers and attach to the current case than dig in old cases, pull up info, copy/scan and file with new case :)

    EB2 485: Pls post here

    As for status papers, if this is your second H1-B term, they might request the copy of the first. For spouse is the same. As from my experience, they ask for status papers up till the last status. ( for me, the last was H1-B, but I had J1-F1 before, so they requested that. My spouse is on second...

    EB2 485: Pls post here

    I have an idea that RFE is about status papers, marriage papers and the proof that employment position still exists :) As for the name check, I would think it is cleared if RFE on the way. But who knows...

    Interview experience SFO, NEED HELP!

    I do not want to upset anybody or argue. But if I was in this situation, I would try to get the lease document from now on with both our names on it. I truly believe the marriage is real though exceptional. You should understand the view of bureaucrat officer. Living separately is a red flag for...

    I personally think it will backfire. Especially if demonstrators will carry not US flags.

    RFE on 485

    Do you have children? We have recieved similar RFE, but we do not have children, so it just asked everything else and if case we have children then birth certificate for them. My advice, just send everything you got to prove the bona fide marriage. We sent common medical insurance, car...
