Dear All, for some reason, if labor (EB-3) gets rejected (say the DOL finds a few US citizens who qualify for the job description), does it have any impact on my H-1B and job? I don't think my company is obligated to hire those who qualified and chuck me out, right? GG_007

Dear All, I just got a notice from USCIS to get my biometrics done for 485. Any idea on what exactly the process entails besides fingerprints? How does it usually take assuming there's no rush. Thanks. GG_007

Dear All, I need some guidance as some of you may have faced a similar situation. My company (a global IT giant) has already filed an EB-1 EA for me. While the lawyer is optimistic about my case, I'm almost certain I'll get an RFE. While no one can predict what the RFE will say, I can work on...

While that's a good observation, I think the RFE response date of Feb 9 is approximately 90 days after Nov 13. Based on what I've read on this forum as well as experiences from other friends, that's the norm - the USCIS gives you 90 days to respond to an RFE. Also, a friend who responded 4...

Dear All, In case of an RFE, are applicants required/asked by USCIS to submit a response by a certain date or it's up to the applicants to set their own deadline? Thanks. GG_007

Thanks for your response. About PP, I'm still debating. As I mentioned in my previous post "EB1 EA PP - Myth or Reality", I'm not sure whether getting 140 done asap has any real advantages for me as such since my 485 is filed concurrently. I think if takes a little time for 140 to come...

Dear All, How do applicants generally respond to an RFE? I mean, I have submitted a dozen recommendation letters along with my EB-1 EA application. If I get an RFE say a few months down the road, am I supposed to submit even more recommendation letters to substantiate my claims? The reason...

Dear All, As I understand, EB1 preimum processing is only for I-140. It doesn't have any direct impact on your I-485 and hence Green Card. If that's the case, here is how I think it can help: 1. If your H-1 or its extension is about to expire and you want to go for a 3 year renewal with...

Are we required (or rather limited) to applying at a particular service center for any reason(s) or it's pretty much by our choice? I'm asking this because my law firm just filed at NSC where apparently things don't move rapidly and I want to know why they chose NSC. I should have done some...

Dear All, how long does it usually take for the NSC to adjudicate EB-1 EA (I-140 and 485) - one way or another? I just got the receipts a week after I applied. Thanks. GG_007

Congratulations! Could you please tell me how long it took for you to get the receipt #? Thanks. GG_007

You may be right that employer sponsorship isn't required but if your employer (in my case an Americon corporate icon/global giant) sponsors it, you don't pay anything out of your pocket and probably it adds some meat to your application. GG_007

Hello All, my firm just applied for my EB1 EA. I'm already in the 7th year of my H. Here is my question: If, from a career standpoint, I want to move to another division/job role within my firm, how soon can I do it given my pending (and recently applied) EB1? Any thoughts? Thanks. GG_007

Dear All, my company applied for my EB1 EA today. I know my question is a little broad and probably premature but I wanted to know what are typically the circumstances under which the USCIS issues an RFE vs. an outright rejection? Thanks. GG007
