my status update My employer checked the web site for me and my LC shows as "in-process". See my signature for details. It should be noted that my case is a substitution, i.e. we filed the substitution at DOL level rather than during I-140 filing.

because the H1B quota.... nowadays companies are not willing to sponsor for H1B...so her chances were very slim. there are only a handful employers who will sponsor for H1B (and she is not in IT) so....

2001 PD Here- STILL WAITING Please do not take me out.. I am still waiting. I got divorced though so its not 4-My-Wife anymore but I shall keep the nick to avoid confusion. :-) We couldnt resist the fact (and it effected our marriage so badly) that she had an MBA and CFA certification but...

Yes you can file your wife under H1 H1 is an acceptable immigration status while co-filing I-485. So no worries. Good luck.

God when will mine get approved?? My PD is so good that even if I get approved today, it will still take 2 years for the final GC to reach to my hand....Do you think this timeframe could be shortened by the new premium processing for I-485? Any input?

I agree Saknia, I admire your positive spirit... I agree with you, after mid-June we will see so many approvals, first many more 2002 then many of the 2001's. Have a good weekend but you and I know we will be checking this web site about 10 times anyways... :) Later

I hope I get it this week too Cause my life is at a fork awaiting my final decision to choose which path to take.... I wish all of us get out of this mess soon... very soon.... thanks Saknia...

I guess I will never be an American Citizen

Dui Guys, Would having DUI offense in your record (just once and no other offenses) pretty much eliminate one's chances of acceptance for greencard? Can someone shed light for me.... thanks.

how long ago did you request the H1B screen shot?

My humble estimate Early 2004 LC will probably get approved August 2007. Then your application for EAD will take about 2 months (doctor reports, other form filing, DOL letter receipt etc). It takes about 6 months for EAD to arrive to you so you are looking to get EAD card in your hand around...

Thats the $1M question We all agree that approvals are rare and not pouring in from BEC nowadays. We all think that its because they are trying to finish the submission of 45 day letters, and those we definitely see a lot in this forum coming in. Rumour is that until June 45 day letters is what...

can you post your details? priority date, 45 day letter received? See an example in my signature below. Hope you get your LC approved soon...

why did you file twice? the dates appear to be so close so from a Priority Date stand point I dont know what your gain is... Did the second come as a readily available substitution? If its a substitution that might describe why. They typically would approve the one with earlier PD.

2001 Cases I hope you are right with 2001 cases my friend... Because this crap made me old... I am giving America another 24 months maximum then I am going to Europe, Australia or Dubai. I hope everyone gets their labor certified in the next 12 months and the retro-problem at I-485 is...

labor substitution The legislation states that an employer can "amend" a pending labor certification application at any time during its processing at the DOL. This law is about to change in 2006. Probably not before August 2006 and it will be effective on the date it gets the final approval and...

I do relate to you guys too It kills me to watch my wife doing this sacrifice and I feel this huge guilt and pressure causing her to lose these years without a job and a progressing career. She hold a masters degree and she is very capable, experienced and smart. What a waste to this economy...

State Factor at PBEC Do you think they are doing this so that they apply the specific state SWA's approach to those LC applications? For example, previously certain SWAs were more stringent in reviewing certain factors of the LC app or some were more flexible in say using the "same-company"...

45 Day letter responses Go to this web site: http://www.doleta.gov/sga/rfp/SIM_Training_Manual.cfm#content i am sure this is outdated but must have some basic premises of how they are operating today at BEC's. The 45 day letter is spit out of the CAPS system once the deadlines are met. So...

agreed I agree with you that 45 day letter do serve a purpose but if they weight the benefit to the cost, it may not be worth doing it. Regardless, my application is January 2001. I am probably somewhere at the top of the FIFO list of the CAPS system. 4 months passed and assuming I wont get...
