No Title The I485 may be denied for lots of reasons, including the company going down. I do not think that you are automatically deported in this case - and maybe in others. Also using the EAD greatly simplifies your job search, specially in this climate. You can focus on negotiating the...

No Title As I understand it EAD is a (slightly) better option. This preserves your H1 time. There are some implications with travel outside the US, specially if you do not have AP. I am not a lawyer so I may be totally wrong on this topic.

No Title Congrats! Quite a lucky guy. I wish you all the best luck in your new life. At the same time I am pretty frustrated to see this much inconsistency in the INS processing times. (local interview waiter ND 11/00, FP 04/01, Transfer 05/01)

No Title What exactly is the problem :-) As I understand it use EAD to get new job in the same classification and same salary (or at least over the LC limit). Some people say INS should be notified by sending letter from new employer. Anyway have letter ready. Extend EAD at your leisure...

contacting local congressman Unluckywaiter, Ciba and others, I did contact my local congresswoman one week or so ago. In this first message I just inquired about the processing date at the local INS office. Supposedly the immigration liason person should have that information. I did not...

Guys, Just to let you know that I am still around waiting for the interview notice at the San Jose office. Case was transferred in May/01. Please share any information ... Non-interview people: a very small number of Employment based cases get transferred for interviews at local INS...

No Title Hang in there. Take it one day at a time and one morning the GC wait will be over :-)

Hang in there, may get interview notice in 4-5 months I have been waiting for my interview in SJ for 3 months now. No interview notice yet. Supposedly the wait time in SJ is between 3-6 months, more likely 8-10 based on messages posted to this board (and on the invaluable comments from Ciba)...

No Title WAITING_MAN, there is a posting on the ISN newsgroups about somebody successfully getting the GC after moving from TX to NJ, with interview at the local INS office. Pretty refreshing reading :-)

No Title I am also interested by this topic. It looks like the job distribution changed during the past months. I do not plan on leaving my current position, however bad stuff happens :-( I read various opinions according to which the location of the job can change but not the job...

No Title Simple Simon, Congratulations on your approval and thank you very much for posting your information. This is the second interview this week. Unfortunately the San Jose office, on which I am waiting, seems to be a lot busier than the San Francisco one.

No Title Evgen, congratulations on your GC. Thanks for the details.

No Title Evgen, Thanks a lot for sharing this information. Could also let us know when you received the interview notice (2 weeks in advance or more)? What was your position on the kosmopol issue (only if you are comfortable sharing it with us)?

No Title Thanks Ciba! I wasn\'t sure if you replied or not, could not get back to that thread my-self :-( I saw that you are active on some other boards too, thanks for all the time that you put into supporting people like me. Take care!

Transferred for interview at local INS office, San Jose on May 7. Still waiting for interview. I\'ve heard that somebody with transfer in April got interview notice for September. Can somebody confirm this? For non-interview people: a small percentage of the cases gets transferred to the...

No Title It looks like debo is right and they are testing some new code. I\'ve seen some strange modifications in the html layout in the past day or so. I will take this as good news unless proven wrong :-) Take care!

No Title Maybe people are working ;-) Take care.

No Title Ciba, I have not seen the San Jose interview message. Can you confirm this: transfer in April, interview in Sept? This would be truly good news for me as my transfer occured in May.

No Title Congrats Mishonio!

No Title My FP was also scheduled \'late\' - 1.5 months - but yours is certainly a record from what I\'ve seen so far. I did my FP on time, mostly due to external circumstances. Good luck!
