fees depend on the lawyer and there is no fixed amount for how much a lawyer can charge. generally hourly rates can be $200 and higher. obviously, experienced lawyers charge more than someone whose Bar membership's ink hasn't been dried yet.

no problem. after recieving a reciept notice you will get this generic message from online case status update. i suggest to create an account on their website. as soon as changes happen to your case you get an email

that is the whole point. you dont have to refile a I-485.

because of massive amount of applications they have ran out of stationary for I-797 notices. if you have the online email, it should be sufficient to use it for I-485 filing.

Case Type: EB3 PD: 03/12/2007 LC: 07/24/2007 I-140 filing: 08/09/2007 I-140 RD: 08/16/2007

the type of visa you want depends on why do you intend to travel to US? sadly, your country of origin is a big factor on how the consular posts processes your application. some countries will have difficulty showing they will leave US at the end of their stay no matter how much documentation you...

love the little piece you posted. i specially liked the ending which demands actions. whoever wrote it, assumed immigration gives a rat A$$ about anyone. :D

moving files from one service center to another is pretty common these days because they cant cope with the work on hand. so dont worry about that. as far as I-140 processing time, the avarage is 6 month on a regular basis but this month, they didnt even put I-140 processing time on their...

Amen brother, it is getting out of control. I, for one, have lost my patience ever since they roled back PDs for EB3 to 5 years. :mad:

did you get married already? somehow immigration red flags marriages less than six weeks of entry into US.

some little birdie in immigration law community told me that because of high volume of applications, they ran out of stationary (the paper they print I-797 notices) now if they cant deal with the papers, god knows how long will it take for them to adjudicate these applications.

the biggest tool immigration has is that their operations are not transparent. so i am assuming because of all the up and downs with Visa Bulletin and people filing concurrently they just stopped giving an estimated time to petitioners. just a thought.

lucky for you, DOL is vigilant in cases that involves foreign workers. best is to talk to a lawyer who practices labor laws.

i havent seen a 365 day filing in the immigration handbook. immigration knows the EBs take quite sometime and in order to ease the pain on US employer, they allow 7th year extension so that employee can stay and work for the company.

If you have filed a I-485 (sounds like you have done that already) and immigration has not processed and adjudicated your application in the first 180 day (6 month) you can change employer as long as the job is similar to the job they filed the labor certification. So from what you are saying...

well, white house is going after this problem soon. here is the official announcement from white house "The Administration Will Reform And Expedite Background Checks For Immigration. Current mechanisms for conducting immigration background checks are backed up, slowing processing times and...

i dont think the USCIS is going to make any announcement without FBI. so if you want to look at the press releases, check them both. i will make a posting as soon as i see it. my guess is sometimes in spring. they have to wait for the comment period to end. after that administrative issues...

Well my friends, I have read most of the postings about how gruesome and horrible this whole immigration process is and I cant blame not a single one of you for this. One thing I noticed is that you, including myself, keep forgetting that as far as immigration process goes, not a single US...
