Oops, my bad, at the time of posting my prediction of 17,100 I didn't know that VB posted February cut-offs too. What do ya'll reckon March's gonna look like? I'd say 20,500 :D

I like how you guys get into these numerical battles, when you know for sure that no one knows the truth. It is definitely an engaging read and a way of killing time, but seriously, let's talk about something else. Having read at least 30 posts with formulas and paragraphs full of explanations...

OMG it's only 13,200 in January. Slow as molasses. Getting worried with my 29xxx number now. As for Obamacare, then I totally support it and was so glad that it passed. Of course, the issues with the website and insurance cancellation is an absolute bureaucratic nightmare, but damn insurance...

Question to those who held an OPT card. During the interview, do they check and make sure that you have not accumulated more than 90 days of unemployment? Should I bother getting documentation showing that I worked at such and such place, but never got payed? I accumulated 1 month of...

That is awesome to hear, man. I think all of us were eagerly following your progression and rooting for a successful outcome! Hope you will stick around to help out until the end of this fiscal year or not, since you will need to plan how to take advantage of all the doors that have opened up...

Oh, my bad, I meant positive skin test for TB, because I feel that most international people have the positive skin test, so a lot of people just go straight for Chest X-ray. Wouldn't THAT result only be valid for 6 months?

I thought because of positive TB test, the medicals are only good for 6 months. If it's valid for a year, then I should probably do it all soon.

Thanks for the answer, Sm1smom! As always, succinct answers! :)

Piggybacking on monh's questions about I-20 extension. So, I have signed up for a school that issued me an I-20 that ends on 22nd of June 2014. My number will probably become current in April 2014. So, the interview may be scheduled between June-July. I would have to extend my I-20 with the...

Thanks for pointing that out, just corrected the mistake in my original post! Sorry for the confusion it may have caused anyone :)

You can see easily check it yourself by looking at Visa Bulletin. http://travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_6168.html (This is for December 2013) The rank cut-off is 12,500 for the month of December 2013. So, anyone who becomes current in December can send their I-485 in package in...

Gotcha, thanks! Oh, and as for the MD, then yeah, my best advice I can give is to ALWAYS seek a second medical opinion. I took around some of my close ones to one of the best hospitals that Boston, MA can offer and some of the things that came from some so-called doctors was very inaccurate and...

Hey, c1984, sorry to hear about an ******* doctor you got. One time I got assigned a doctor dealing primarily with immigrants and boy was the man an *******. I remember during my first visit to him, he stops me in the middle of my question and tells me some BS story out of nowhere. Then we got...

Thanks for posting this link, Hexa! Now I'll know that it's possible to send out my AOS package sometime after March 9th, given that my number will become current in April and is within the cut off rank in advance notice VB. :D

Three major US Corporations own the media in the US. So, I tend to take them all with a grain of salt. I do, like Al Jazeera, now they're pretty badass and show all the graphic images.

The reason for that is to stay in status. Right now, I just started my grace period because I am done with my current test prep school. So, I will enroll in a program that will give me an I-20 and commence in January 2014. This program will conclude in May 2014 and I would not be able to extend...

Yeah, no, the AOS is only way for me, because I haven't left the country in like 5 years, because of various internships during summers or school complications; besides, my family visited me here and there, so I saved money on air travel and things like that. I just don't know if they would...

Here's where you can check the archived VB (Visa Bulletins): http://www.travel.state.gov/visa/bulletin/bulletin_1770.html According to 2013: July went up to 33,000, so August was when all EU number became current According to 2012: May went up to 30,000, and June is when all EU numbers became...

This is probably why I will take a safer route, because wouldn't that be something not to able to transfer my I-20 and be pretty much screwed. Thanks, Hexa. Thanks c1984, yes, this is why this forum is a start and everyone's input definitely eases the process and stress levels! This is what...

So, what do you is a better option: a) Enroll into English school that will give me an I-20 for 1 year with the possibility of extending it, if need be for indefinite amout of time. If I enroll in October 2013, then my I-20 will only be expiring in October 2014, which is enough to cover me...
