    Every time I see retrogressed dates it makes me really happy. If there were no retrogression all the people who have 2003/2004/2005 approved labor from DBEC or now from PBEC also would use up the visa numbers.

    You gotta be kidding me! Every time PBEC approves a case like this it p*** off ppl like me who have been waiting for 4 years. PBEC is the worst possible govt nightmare that we are stuck in. They are approving cases completely randomly. I hope you get your approval but I wouldn't get my...

    I don't think they would need a current H1 stamp to stamp H4 visa. BTW, are you within 6 years of H1? I think the H1 stamp would apply only for first time H4 applicants. If you have an expired H4 they would just like to see H1 holder's I-797 etc. My wife is leaving for India in about a...

    I think your lawyer knows less than you know. He/She is just making this up based on the fact that a lot of 2001/2002 cases are pending. We have seen some NOF's but we've also seen old cases get approved without any questions.

    Welcome to the club! But I hope everyone loses membership of this club soon. It is high time they started approving cases from 2001/2002.

    There is still hope !!! Anytime I see an approval from 2001/2002 it makes me a little happier that they haven't forgotten about us completely.

    This is exactly my fear. You sned them an email and they get p*** and issue a NOF. As if that's not enough, the lawyer and HR start complaining that we should not follow up. So, I would say just sit tight and wait.

    Take your time and feel happy about it!! You have waited 5 years for it. Besides it will take you at least another year to get the actual card. So now is the time to feel happy!

    Well, its a comforting to know that they are still looking at older cases. Infact every time I see an approval from early 2003 I feel happy. It means they haven't completely moved on.

    This is very alarming. Are the cases from 2001/2002 that haven't heard anything set for NOF? As for your case I think normally lawyers can come up with enough proof that the NOF is satisfied and you just get approved but if they deny the labor after reviewing material from the lawyer I don't...

    Have you seen any movement in your case? I have a feeling that "Fianl Review" is being thrown at you so that you don't ask any more questions.

    2001/2002 cases I think we need Barbara Shelly's email and snail mail address. We need to write to her as a starter and if there is no response, we write to CIS Ombudsman. Anyone know Barbara Shelly's email address?

    Ragini/Caliber/everyone from 2001/2002 Guys, I am thinking we should send the following letter to Barbara Shelly, the new PBEC director. I think they just see the email and reply back with "Final Review". There is no telling how long it will remain like that. Guys, its time we did...
