Be prepared I don't think anyone can accurately predict the date. However, it is in your best interest to be prepared for the consular interview starting September 01, 2006. Good luck.

Classic case of USCIS miscalculating Judging by the above quote, appears that USCIS grave over-estimated the number of EB3 application coming out of BECs and held onto thousands of visa numbers until the very last month. Personally, I am finally relieved that my PD became current (ROW...

At this point, it is possible that the August bulletin is out, but they are having technical difficulties posting it. Surprise!!! At least we can still go out and enjoy the weekend and not wait for this stupid bulletin to come out.

I don't know what you need to do. File the AC21 and the address change and wait?? Because if the VSC wants to process it, all the better.

Yes you can Yes you can file for AC21 as long as the new job description is the same or similar, your I-140 is approved and your I-485 is pending for more than 6 months. A friend of mine had a similar experience (moved from NY to CA) and the case was transfered from the VSC to a regional...

August Bulletin Should Be Out Today (Hopefully) Hopefully, the August visa bulletin will be released today and if the EB3 world-wide date moves up by a few months, we'll all be happy. My money is on dates to move up by a couple of months (again, this is purely a guess). As for the debate on...

I would wait You can't go and give FP unless asked to. So, just sit tight and wait until your PD becomes current. Same with medic. If you are asked for a new set, then go ahead and get it done. Otherwise, just wait until dates become current.

Looks like EB3 Worldwide has finally moved past May 01, 2001 barrier and is now at July 01, 2001. Hopefully, this trend will continue ..... I almost gave up on expecting any movement before the Oct. bulletin. Keeping my fingers crossed...

Need to wait until PD is current If I recall correctly, you need to wait until the priority dates becomes current for your catogery to apply for your I-485/AP/EAD. You'll have to keep renewing your H1 in the mean time.

What do expect Now comes the age old question of what to expect during the next few months. My personal belief is that EB3 numbers will NOT move until Oct. Hey, if it does, then good for all of us. But, I am trying to be realistic here and adjust my expectation accordingly. I don't want to...

Still waiting .... EB3 - other countries. PD is 11/2001 and my I-485 RD is 12/2004. So, even though I am stuck behind retrogression, I gave the friendly folks at VSC a "what's up" call about a month ago since their I-485 processing date was 2/15/05 back then. The rep that I spoke to...

Mican, It is becoming obvious that accurately predicting when EB3 World-wide (Other countries) priority dates will move to 2003 is nothing more than a guessing game at this point. I hate to sound negative, but I will be pleasantly surprised if you get the card in 2006. But, don't give up the...

EB3 World Approvals, but PD as of March 15, 2001 A friend of mine, EB3 World-wide with a PD of 3/15/01, received his card about a month back. So, there is hope as long as priority dates keep moving forward and we can get past the 5/1/01 road block. I am optimistically hoping that when new...

Screen name: moved01 Locality: New York, NY

Priority Date: November, 2001 (EB3 - Other countries) I-140 AD: 7/xx/05 I-485 RD: 12/06/04. Your other alternative is to enroll full-time and file for AC-21 based on future employment.

I changed offices/jobs within the same company while my labor was still pending. As long as the company is willing to sponsor your I-140+485 under the old job, you should be fine. Smaller companies tend to be more flexible. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. I'll be studying full-time. To clarify, my 485 has not been approved yet due to retrogression. Can I still present evidence of filing the 485 and an approved AP/EAD to study full-time? Otherwise, I'll have to ask for a deferal for one year.

I'm in the same boat as "explorer_inc", waiting for 485 to get approved and hoping to go back to school in Fall 2006 (full-time). I wonder what documents I need to present to school authorities in leu of a F1 visa? I already have an EAD & AP. My EB3 priority date is Nov. 03, 2001 (other...

Not sure why we need a transit visa if we are just having a stop over at Germany/France on our way to India. We are not planning to go out-side the airport and visit any places. Transit visas are for people transiting through the country. A transit visa does not allow you to leave the...

The application was approved in 2004 and I-551 stamped. If I-551 was stamped, you are clear. Congrats.
