No Max .. my thing is who is going to consume the quota for EB3 -- if they some are saying because of the cut-off date only guys with PD earlier than Jan 1998 will be processed.
Now NSC is saying that they are processing 485 from Oct 2004.. That means that the newly released quota are going...
this is good idea nato -- come OCT I predict at least 1000 approval in each centers between Oct - Dec..
The feed back will certainly help us analyse the trend...
theRealCandian --- please do help and make this thread sticky atleast for few months.
I am confused -- some one please do explain --- the status quo of this 'claim to fame path' --- EB3 ~~ the skilled guys with little less education.
Ok -- I am standing on that heavly populated Country Quota too.
Now, I intially understood that on Oct 01, 2005 they are going to release new...
Mess Up
The only thing that occurs to me ... may be like this.
Ur attorney might have filed for both 485 and I-485 Supplement A.
The fees for 485 is 315 and fees for I-485 Supplement A is $1000.
The USCIS might have noticed that I-485 Supplement A is not required for Ur case and might...
A small correction --- The 7% rule per country is sum of both Family + employement based.
Worldwide -- Family --- 226,000 approx
Worldwide -- Employment -- 148,499 approx
So per country == (Family + Emp ) * .07 --- approx 25,620
Am I correct?
Thats a good point...
I think the depedent take up the family category ...
So ---any way they too depleted the over all country Quota --- Lets say they are just 5000 per year ...
For India the figures will be :
The figures -- Just 18,000 Employment based adjucation per year
That...
Party time soon.
Beer that would be great ---- I hope that things will roll out for a big party some where .....
I think --- out of the alloted 25620 visa number for India this year -- atleast 20,000 are taken up by employment based category from India..
There might be more that 120,000...
Take the period between year 2000 to 2003...
Total Number of H1b per year = 195,000
Say 70% of the h1b was taken by India = 136,500 per year
Say 10% of the H1b from India never applied for Green card.
Number of GC applicants from India = 122,850 per year
Say 10% of the GC have...
Well this is my theory -- so might not be correct 100%.
With Ur PD -- Sep-2002 and with the A# ... I feel you will be one of the guys -- who consumed this years EB-3 visa number ...
Did they send U a notice for Biometrics this August ?
If -- YES then there is strong chance of Ur 485 was...
Yes I think that multi-year EAD will be out soon with this state of retrogression.... or else the officers at NSC will be busy doing EAD's which is up for renewal every 9 months..
My employer says --- with EAD and AC21 .. one can do practically everything what GC holder can do ... so whats...
GC and Visas are privileges and not a right.
The need should come from corporate America … that will force the senator and congressman to open a debate on the immigration. So it should be our employer who should be calling the senators etc and make there point...
So it is better that we urge...
If you have got 140 ---Do not go for 8th year H1b -- it practically serve no protection -- if 485 gets doomed so does the h1b.
EAD + AP u can do it online and simple -- no need of Attorney..
But U need to shell out fees for EAD and AP ... each year ... until the promised day.
Good luck.
Let me argue ---
Some of the EB-3 from Retro countries -- will get approved ..
It must be some EB-3 was adjucated and were waiting for visa number ... so they consumed the new visa number even before they were released...
So at the best .. we will hear many approvals in next 2 months ...
Manila report
The Manila website may NOT be wrong ---
If the system over there was hacked or there was a wrong data entry -- then it sould have had been rectified by now...
The web page is static one and it is NOT pulling in data from any database... and the page is not designed by a...
Yours is a classical case -----
Since U have applied for 485 -- U are in status... and I guess U cannot work after 180 days since U applied for H1b extension, if Ur h1b does not get approved by then...{Check this}.
U need to get H1b or EAD .... to work ... status wise U are safe...
I...
Yes -- he is interested in getting the fees ...
H1b extension 7th -- nth year is only good for guys who are in labor or in 140 stage [ not applied for 485 and hence no EAD]...
I think once U get EAD ... even if Ur H1b is still valid { Say U are in 5th year of total 6 years} .. U should...
Man -- U are right ..... will a great day for an attroney --- all expense paid vacation -- paid by an poor immigrant...
And I heard most of the interview --- they say no word -- only help to put the interview letter into the bin.
..
Thanks for the detail info about the interview...
Few question:
1> What do U think -- in Ur case or in general triggers an interview?
2> Is attorney presence is preffered --- hmm do they charge extra to accompany?
Thanks
